Three people arrested during 'Convoy to Canberra' rally.

Australian police clashed with anti-vaccination protesters on Wednesday afternoon, using pepper spray and arresting three people while trying to move participants illegally camped in front of the National Library in Canberra.

According to ACT Policing, one woman was charged with trying to assault a police officer, and two men who allegedly interfered with the woman's arrest were charged with obstructing police.

Comment: This just seems like par for the course in the prison state of Australia, where police thugs have only one response to citizens who fall out of line with mandated behavior.

The City Prosperity Index (CPI) measures different kinds of achievements in a city and identifies its prosperity with success, wealth, thriving conditions, well-being as well as confidence in the future, and opportunities for all.

Russia's capital, Moscow, has been recognised as the world's best city in terms of quality of life and infrastructure development, according to a report based on the UN-Habitat City Prosperity Index. Together with Singapore and Toronto, Canada, Moscow has been included in the world's top three most prosperous cities. The top ten also include Sydney, London, Paris, Madrid, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and New York.

In terms of the quality of life and infrastructure development, Moscow has been ranked the world's best city.

Panic over? Finland to lift all covid restrictions despite being in deadliest phase of pandemic

Prime Minister Sanna Marin
Finland is to remove all Covid restrictions in February, Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced on Monday. Yle News has more.
Following decisions reached last week, some Covid-related restrictions are to be eased this week.

Starting on Tuesday, February 1st, establishments that primarily serve food will be allowed to stay open until 9pm. But, establishments that mainly serve alcoholic beverages will still be required to stop alcohol sales at 5pm and shut down for the day at 6pm.

Restaurants will be able to retain the right to require Covid passes from customers as a condition of admission. On the other hand, use of the passes will not exempt restaurants from restrictions on alcohol sales and opening hours, at least until mid-February.

Public gyms and swimming pools in the Uusimaa region will also be permitted to operate starting on Tuesday.

Starting on Tuesday, regulations at Finland's borders for passengers arriving from Schengen Area countries as well as non-Schengen EU member states will be lifted.
It follows Denmark's move to repeal all pandemic laws as of February 1st and return to "life as we knew it", having determined COVID-19 is no longer "a threatening disease for society". The question is, why is Finland going slowly, if it, too, has determined the pandemic is over? The extent to which Finland follows through with full repeal will become clear in the coming weeks.

The mass testing of healthy children is "invasive and unevidenced", causes significant damage to children and needs to stop, scientists and clinicians have told MPs and Peers.

The comments came at a meeting of the Pandemic Response and Recovery All-Party Parliamentary Group of cross-party MPs, which was hearing whether there is a case for the continued mass testing of healthy children by schools and nurseries.

Co-chaired by Conservative MP Esther McVey and Labour MP Graham Stringer, the group examined the pros and cons of testing in schools along with the growing concerns about the likely physical and mental health harms caused by constant testing.

Ms McVey said the evidence they heard is clear and "testing in schools must stop".

dominion voting machine
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger supports the public release of the report to dispel "misleading media articles."

A federal judge is considering whether to release a sealed report by a computer security expert who reviewed Dominion Voting Systems equipment after Georgia's top election official and its governor urged action.

The report was conducted by University of Michigan computer security expert J. Alex Halderman and was filed last summer under seal in a federal court case that alleges hackers had "the capability" and "easy access" to voting machines in Georgia, according to the Epoch Times.

It’s not looking good, guys. Sorry.
Authorities send a clear message: resistance to cattle tags will not be tolerated.

The unofficial leader of St. Petersburg's QR code resistance, businessman Alexander Konovalov, has been arrested and will remain in custody for two months while he awaits his trial.

Authorities claim Konovalov was involved in a bribery scheme. The cops reportedly carried out an hours-long search of the businessman's home before (maybe after?) cuffing him.

Bruce Pardy: COVID has cost Canadians their freedom. It must be restored

© UnknownPeople protest against measures taken by public health authorities to curb the spread of COVID-19, in Montreal on Nov. 28, 2020. Lawyers have launched an online declaration calling for the restoration of civil liberties in Canada.
Many years ago, as a new law student, I had a moment of disbelief. "Surely it doesn't really work this way," I thought to myself as I sat in an early class. The law, I discovered, is not a set of immutable rules, predictable and secure. Instead, it is rife with ambiguity, riddled with uncertainty, and subject to the whims, temperaments and follies of human beings who make and apply it. And yet, as I also came to realize, it has often worked well. The Western legal tradition, upon which the Canadian system is based, has protected individual autonomy better than any other legal system in history. The problem is that for decades that tradition, and the culture from whence it came, have slowly been eroding. And now, during COVID, when the law has let us down, there is a tide in the affairs of Canadians.

Comment: Professor Bruce Purdy has spoken out against some of the ideological laws, with people like Jordan Peterson.

Here is Bruce in interview, posted August 2021, that looks into legal and philosophical aspects related to covid measures (vaccine passports), being ordered by the Canadian and provincial governments:

Wokeism Is a Cruel and Dangerous Cult

Wokeism
Wokeism's natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and — if need be — of those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda.

Wokeism has been described by its critics as the omnipresent use of race — and to a lesser extent, gender — to replace meritocracy and thus ensure equality of result. What follows from implementing that ideology are reparatory actions to reward those of the present by atoning for the injustices done to others in the past.

Some see it as an update of 1960s cultural Marxism fads. Others scoff that it is just a return to 1980s-style political correctness.

Still more see it as the logical successor to 1990s-type race, class, and gender obsessions — albeit with a shriller and more dangerous Jacobin, Soviet, and Maoist twist. Wokeism's hysteria also invites comparisons to the Salem witch trials and McCarthyism.

But few have described wokeism as the cruel creed that it is.

Wokeism's natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and — if need be — those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda. It is nihilist and destroys everything it touches. It tears apart foes and friends alike, whether by fueling media-driven hatred of Donald Trump or faux-deification of the disaster that is now Joe Biden.

Comment: Stelter and Darcy doing their best to put lipstick on a pig. The real question is what is this latest media circus trying to distract us from? Twitterati want to know too.

Multiple agencies responded to Bridgewater College in Bridgewater following a report of an active shooter around 1:20 p.m. local time, school officials said.

The two officers were responding to a call of a "suspicious male individual" on the grounds of the college's Memorial Hall, according to Virginia State Police spokesperson Corinne Geller. After a brief interaction, the suspect opened fire, striking both officers, she said.
