A diminutive 78-year-old man was wrestled to the ground and cuffed after honking his car horn in support of the "Freedom Convoy" truckers protesting Canada's COVID-19 mandates, video shows.

Now-viral footage shows 4-foot-10-inch-tall great-grandfather Gerry Charlebois being confronted by an Ottawa cop who eventually forced him to his knees as he cuffed him Sunday.

"What did he do wrong?" a bystander asks the officer, who initially snaps, "None of your f — ing concern, man."

"It's an offense — it's an offense to beep your horn. It is," the officer later tells a group heckling him for "abusing old men."

Charlebois, who was wearing pajama pants at the time, was eventually marched away in cuffs by two officers who towered over him.

The US is planning to introduce Covid-19 vaccines designed for children from six months to five years old, as soon as they are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The initial plan is to roll out 10 million doses of the vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech. According to a document published online by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if it is approved, all facilities will be able to receive the first shipment as soon as February 21, which is a federal holiday.

The meeting between outside advisers for the FDA to discuss the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for emergency use authorization is due to take place on February 15. If they approve the shot for the only age group in the US not yet eligible for vaccination, the roll-out will begin in less than a week.

Comment: If you care at all about your child's health, you'll keep the jab far away from your child.

Republicans mock Democrats for suddenly 'ditching science for politics' to roll back mandates so they don't get crushed in the midterms

Democrat-led states across the country have announced plans to drop their mask mandates in the coming weeks, and Republicans are claiming politics are at play.

New Jersey, New York, California, Oregon, Connecticut and Delaware have all announced plans to roll back their mask requirements just within the last day.

'I'd love to see whatever internal polling went around the Democrat Party last week - it's certainly no coincidence that Democrat-run states are dropping mandates as fast as they can!,' Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., told DailyMail.com.

The Biden administration, however, still recommends indoor masking for schools and other public places.

Collective hysteria: US media questions use of non-white emojis by white people

Washington-based National Public Radio was ridiculed on Wednesday after it published an article which analyzed what skin color emojis were ethical for various races to use.

The article, titled, 'Which skin color emoji should you use? The answer can be more complex than you think', featured interviews with people of various races who discussed the racial justice components of cartoon emojis and whether it is OK for white people to use dark-skinned or 'neutral' yellow characters.

"Some white people may choose [the yellow thumbs up emoji] because it feels neutral - but some academics argue opting out of [the white thumbs up emoji] signals a lack of awareness about white privilege, akin to society associating whiteness with being raceless," the NPR article stated.

Pfizer forecasts record-breaking earnings, half due to Covid vaccines

US pharmaceutical company Pfizer has predicted that it will earn as much as $102 billion in revenue this year - the highest in the company's history - thanks to its Covid-19 vaccine, booster shots, and coronavirus treatment pill.

In an earnings release published on Tuesday, Pfizer estimated that it would earn between $98 billion and $102 billion in revenue this year. Pfizer expects to earn $32 billion in revenue from its Covid-19 vaccine alone, with another $22 billion of revenue from its Paxlovid antiviral Covid-19 pill.

Comment: The product was 'lucrative', not because of any proven efficacy, but because Pfizer was one of a few companies that was granted a monopoly on the Covid jabs. Governments worked in tandem to create by using behavioural engineering techniques, fearmongering, threats of the loss of freedoms and even the loss of livelihoods. And, whilst Pfizer celebrates record profits, economies throughout the West are slowly falling apart, people are suffering record numbers of illness and death both directly related to the jabs and indirectly because of the tyrannical policies governments enforced, and, to top it off, citizens everywhere are facing billions in debt to pay for the jabs that they never needed: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: COVID And Mind Control - Do People Fear The Virus, Or Their Government?

Best of the Web: Rogan debacle shows welding of media, government bureaucracy, big corporations, and banking together into a partisan weapon to punish dissenters

Joe Rogan has found himself in the crosshairs of many of America's most powerful institutions. Although he has long been a thorn in the side of progressives who object to his free-wheeling conversations on America's most popular podcast, the latest controversy was kicked off by an open letter penned by 270 doctors, health care professionals, and academics who complained about interviews in which Rogan and his guests express skepticism about COVID vaccinations. The letter's authors demanded that Spotify "immediately establish a clear and public policy to moderate misinformation on its platform."

Although they represented a tiny portion of America's medical professionals, these public health activists were able to win widespread coverage from the mainstream news media, with only minor protest from conservative media, which pointed out that more than two-thirds of the letter's signatories were neither medical doctors nor doctors of osteopathic medicine.

This activist-media alliance soon won support from a third group: major celebrities. The countercultural musician Neil Young announced that he would be pulling all his music from the Spotify streaming service in protest of Rogan's presence there. Despite his longtime support for free expression and his own scientific skepticism — he dubbed his 2006 antiwar concerts the "Freedom of Speech Tour," and remains an ardent opponent of the use of GMOs in food — Young effortlessly slotted himself into the new progressive censorship machine. Soon after, singer Joni Mitchell and rock musician Nils Lofgren joined in.

Fire at money printing factory in France, dozens injured

More than 30 people have been injured and hundreds evacuated from a burning money-printing plant in Chamalieres, France. It took the emergency services three hours to extinguish the blaze.

Firefighters were dispatched to the scene on Wednesday morning, as the facility's 387 employees were escorted to safety. With smoke pouring out of the factory, residents of Chamalieres were advised to remain indoors and keep their windows closed.

Video footage showed fire crews battling the blaze from all angles, as a column of thick black smoke spewed from the roof of the building.

Comment: There certainly have been a number of fires and explosions recently, but this fire and the high security nature of the venue, as well as its function, is all the more curious considering Macron's recent visit to Russia and his, relatively, favorable comments about the country: Amidst cyberwar games, European & US regulators warn banks to 'prepare for Russian cyberattack threat'

Flashback Nearly 40 percent of US Gen Zs, 30 Percent of young Christians identify as LGBTQ, poll shows

Thirty percent of Millennials identify as LGBTQ, according to a soon-to-be released study that is based on scientific polling data. Among Christians the numbers were lower — but only slightly, with just under 30 percent of Millennial Christians identifying as LGBTQ.

The portion of the population that describes itself as gay has varied over the years, from 10 percent, based on research by Alfred Kinsey and widely promoted by the National Gay Task Force in 1977, to less than 6 percent in a recent Gallup poll. The pollster who worked on the new study, George Barna, attributes the unusually high number he found to social and news media coverage that makes it "safe and cool" for young Americans to identify as LGBTQ — whether or not it represents their actual sexual orientation.


Comment: "Cool" being the operative word.


"It's a subset of a larger issue, that this is a generation where three out of four are searching for meaning. This is a group that doesn't have a reason to get out of bed in the morning," Barna says. "Therefore, the LGBTQ identity gives them comfort. A lot of this generation claim to be moving in that direction, but there's a big difference between claiming the identity and living the lifestyle."

Comment: So a generation lacking in meaning is more attracted to LGBTQ+ identification. Who would have thought?

EU does not share US concerns - Borrell

EU top diplomat Josep Borrell says Brussels disagrees with Washington's assessment that war is around the corner

The EU does not share America's concerns that the European continent is on the verge of a large-scale war due to an upcoming Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU's chief diplomat said on Tuesday.

Speaking during a trip to the US, the High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, played down fears that a serious conflict is pending.
"I wouldn't say that we are on the eve of a fully fledged war, second [world] war style, because I don't believe Russia is going to invade Ukraine as Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941," the EU diplomacy chief said. "I don't think we're facing an immediate fight, classical fight, with tanks and infantry and occupying cities and invading territory."
Borrell also rejected US officials' claims that this is the most severe crisis in Europe since the end of WWII.

Comment: It looks like that nobody wants a war with Russia except the sleepy Joe Administration in Washington. Since WWII, Europe is an occupied territory: by the US army. They have military bases all over Europe. When we say NATO, it predominantly means US. The US is the country that has the biggest participation in the NATO alliance, both financially and in terms of equipment.

It is hard to expect that the EU burocratic puppets will not listen to their Washington masters, even now when the US is losing its dominant role in the world geostrategic map.

18 fundraisers aiding riots, crime, abortion, and genital mutilation that GoFundMe didn't shut down

While GoFundMe races to confiscate millions of dollars from Canadians protesting the country's coercive Covid response, the left-wing fundraising site has proven itself very willing to help raise funds for criminal riots, abortions, and genital mutilation.

"We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity," GoFundMe wrote in the company's Friday announcement that it would steal millions from the truckers participating in the "Freedom Convoy" to protest Canada's Covid mandates, diverting the money "to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe." After backlash, the platform announced it would instead refund the money to donors.

GoFundMe cited one of its terms of service that "prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment." The group used similar logic to suspend fundraising campaigns for Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted of all charges after he shot three men in self-defense. GoFundMe tried to defend its decision then by claiming that "GoFundMe's Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime," despite the platform's willingness to crowdsource for arrested rioters.

Also, after a protest on Jan. 6, 2021 saw some attendees forcibly enter the U.S. Capitol building, GoFundMe said it would nix fundraisers for "travel to a political event where there's risk of violence by the attendees," as well as those that "spread misinformation about the election, promote conspiracy theories and contribute to or participate in attacks on U.S. democracy."
