In the German city of Mannheim, anti-lockdown protesters have confronted police who were trying to break up an unauthorized rally, leaving 13 officers wounded.

One of the officers had to be hospitalized as a result. The demonstrators had ignored a ban on public gatherings, taking to the city streets regardless, to hold what they described as a "stroll." According to police estimates, as many as 800 people turned up at various locations on Monday evening. Among the slogans heard at the rally were "Peace, Freedom, no Dictatorship," as well as "We are the people!" The demonstrators also set off a few firecrackers along their route.

At first, police were simply notifying the people through loudspeakers that they were violating the regional regulations, which, in turn, led to several altercations, and eventually a brawl that was caught on camera. In the unverified footage circulating on social media, a group of protesters are seen forcing their way through a police line, with some throwing "deliberate punches at the officers," as Patrick Knapp, a spokesperson for Mannheim police, told the media.

Comment: As the PTB are tightening the totalitarian grip over the whole planet, very soon every kind of protest will probably be "unauthorized".

Welcome to the new normal.

The White House's vaccine threats aren't to keep you safe. They're to keep you in line

By now, you've likely seen or heard the latest coronavirus messaging from the White House, which President Joe Biden is scheduled to talk about again later on Tuesday. The president gave the first doomsday message for the unvaxxed, COVID response chief Jeff Zients repeated it, and chief of staff Ron Klain doubled down on it, so the comments were no slip of the tongue. This is the administration's official line.

"We are intent on not letting omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You've done the right thing, and we will get through this. For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm," Zients said, one day after Biden made nearly identical comments.

This messaging is problematic for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is its remarkable ability to further harden 50 percent of the country against the so-called "unity" president, who has shaped up to be leagues more divisive than his predecessor.

But buried under the latest "dark winter" threat is an admission from the Biden White House that its detractors have been right about its aims all along. The contrast between the in-group and the out-group isn't that one is rid of the virus while the other isn't. The difference is that one has "done the right thing."

Report says dozens of felons out on bond in Chicago are getting re-arrested

As of Saturday, at least 60 were accused of murder, attempted murder or shoootings while out on bond.

Dozens of felons who were released on bond in Chicago have been re-arrested this year for violent crimes, according to a local report.

As of Saturday, at least 60 felons were accused of murder, attempted murder or shootings while awaiting trial for a previous felony, CWB Chicago reported, with the total number of victims from these crimes adding up to at least 92.

The latest felon was identified as Malik Perteet, 22, who appeared in bond court last week. Police said Perteet was arrested Wednesday after shooting a 17-year-old girl in the 12500 block of S. Lowe Avenue earlier this month.

Comment: Flash from Fox News: reality bites! Lightfoot has finally recognized she is losing control of Chicago and requests federal help:
In a news conference Monday, the Democrat mayor asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to send in agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for six months to ramp up the number of gun investigations and gun seizures, according to Fox32 Chicago. She also asked for more federal prosecutors to handle the criminal cases those agents will investigate, as well as federal marshals to assist local law enforcement with tracking down thousands of suspects wanted on warrants, the station added.

"We need these additional resources well in advance of summer," Lightfoot reportedly said.

The plea comes as the number of shooting victims in Chicago this year -- as of this past Sunday -- was at 4,270, compared to 3,930 in 2020, the Chicago Tribune reported, citing police statistics.


Homicides have risen to 783, up from the 749 recorded during the same time period in 2020, the newspaper also said.

"Keeping you safe is my priority — not one of, but the first and primary priority," the Tribune quoted Lightfoot as saying. "I wake every morning with this as my first concern and I push myself and all involved to step up and do more and better because we cannot continue to endure the level of violence that we are now experiencing."

Federal law enforcement resources have been involved with the crime situation in Chicago in recent years.

Last summer, Fox News reported that then-President Donald Trump was sending in 100 federal agents to Chicago as part of Operation Legend.

Then in September 2020, then-Attorney General William Barr said the number of homicides in Chicago plunged 50% after the Trump administration's actions.

But Lightfoot, while noting the city was "grateful for the additional federal charges and prosecutions," according to the Chicago Tribune, pushed back against Barr's claims, suggesting the violence had begun to subside before federal law enforcement had arrived.

Best of the Web: Smart Cities: The perfection of the prison grid society

"For now we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." - 1 Corinthians 13:12, The Epistles of Paul, the Holy Bible
The 'Smart City' will be reintroduced as the better option, in the present age of artificial supply-line disasters, manufactured 'cyber-terrorism', closing off access to banking, and critical infrastructure.

What have the technocrats learned from the twenty year studies of the lives of prisoners and prison guards who live-on-facility, from places like Abu Ghraib and Gitmo?

What has their study of pain, captivity, and punishment revealed?

How have the use of psychotropics, and studies into neo-Buddhist nihilism, been integrated into the elite's dream of a prison grid society, as specified in Klaus Schwab's "Covid19: The Great Reset" and "The Fourth Industrial Revolution"?

Orthodox rabbis call on US universities to suspend diversity programs

CJV recently condemned the Duke University student government's decision to deny recognition to a pro-Israel student group, claiming that the move demonstrated a "despicable double standard" on "Jew-hatred."
A coalition that represents more than 2,000 Orthodox rabbis on American public policy issues is demanding that American universities abandon their "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI) efforts in the wake of a report showing that DEI leaders often promote antisemitism.

"With antisemitic incidents rising at an alarming rate, using Israel as a convenient facade, universities must ensure their diversity efforts include protection of Jewish students," Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), told Fox News. "Instead they have appointed foxes to guard the proverbial hen house."

Comment: Menkin's handwringing, nor his 'whataboutism' notwithstanding, the actions of the Israeli government do fit the definition of colonial apartheid, as found by many human rights groups. His energy might be better employed in focusing on changing Israel's policies that bring the accusations down it its head. Getting Israel to stop claiming it represents 'all Jews' would be a big help too, if he feels he is being personally tarnished by those accusations.

New study reveals scale of bribery in Russian state contracts

Russian businesses bidding for public sector contracts are forced to shell out vast quantities of cash in order to win major deals, a new study conducted by researchers at one of the country's top universities has revealed.

The research, involving more than 1,200 company representatives surveyed by the Higher School of Economics (HSE) and made available to Moscow business daily outlet RBK on Monday, found that 71% of suppliers had encountered corruption during tendering processes. The average kickback is estimated to be around 22.5% of the contract's total value.

Comment: Russia is trying to deal with the situation. But it is a deep-rooted problem, stemming not only from the endemic corruption of the Soviet regime, but the environment of lawlessness unleashed by the West's economic looting during the 90s after the breakup of the country.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's brother Piers has been arrested for allegedly calling for the offices of pro-lockdown MPs to be burnt down during a protest against vaccination mandates in Westminster.

Corbyn was arrested in Southwark, London on Sunday at 1.45am local time, according to The Guardian, which cited Metropolitan police sources. Police had previously mentioned they were investigating a video in which the anti-lockdown protest leader appeared to be advocating arson.

The brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn can be seen on the video, shot at Saturday's protest outside Downing Street Informing his audience that there are websites with lists of MPs who fit that description calling on supporters to
"hammer to death those scum who have decided to go ahead with introducing new fascism. Go to their offices and — well, I would recommend burning them down, but I can't say that on air."
Audience members laugh in response, suggesting the remark was not made in seriousness, but Corbyn appears to realize he's gone too far, repeating, "I hope we're not on air." Corbyn also calls for anti-mandate protesters to
"get a bit more physical. Take down these lying vaccinators and we've got to take down these lying MPs."

Comment: Piers Corbyn is a veteran protester, an undaunted nay voice to the shenanigans and mandates of the deeply flawed governance in Britain.

A Washington state man who pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer during the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Monday received a sentence of almost four years in prison, one of the longest yet for Jan. 6 defendant.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth in the District of Columbia sentenced Devlyn Thompson, who struck an officer with a baton, to 46 months in prison.

Thompson, who has been detained since pleading guilty in August, will receive credit for time already served behind bars.

Prosecutors had requested four years for Thompson, saying in a court filing that "a 48-month sentence would reflect the gravity of Thompson's actions after having joined a violent mob at the U.S. Capitol, while also acknowledging his exceptionally early cooperation and admission of guilt."

Comment: So, among the most violent crimes prosecuted involve hurling a fire extinguisher at officers and striking an officer with a baton. For some reason, there seems a misalignment of what actually happened with the 'violent insurrection' that is so often discussed.

Prosecutors say Maxwell, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, manipulated victims and groomed them for sexual abuse.

The jury began deliberating late on Monday afternoon in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking trial in New York.

Closing arguments had wrapped up in federal court in Manhattan earlier on Monday with a simple, chilling message.

Teachers who refuse to get vaccinated against Covid-19 will lose thousands of dollars worth of holiday pay.

Unvaccinated educators across Victoria's state schools were given just a week to get jabbed or miss out on their full leave entitlements.

On December 10, teachers and other school staff were told that if they didn't show proof of vaccinated by December 18, they wouldn't be paid for the school holidays.
