US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had an event in New York on Saturday disrupted by a group of demonstrators who rose to their feet and began singing a Latin hymn for peace. The protestors were voicing their objection to the self-professed progressive's vote to send billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine.

Holding signs reading "negotiation not annihilation" and "stop sending weapons to Ukraine," the group sang 'Dona Nobis Pacem', a Latin hymn used in the Catholic mass that translates as 'Give Us Peace'.

"We always support everyone's First Amendment rights here and everyone has the complete right to political expression," Ocasio-Cortez responded, but only after the protesters had been removed from the premises by security.

Comment: This is not the first time AOC has been heckled and it definitely won't be the last... See also:

Policies of evil: Stephanie Warriner was killed at hospital for not wearing a 'mask' properly and the judge rules in favor of the killers

Seeking justice for Stephanie Warriner, sister Denise files $16 million lawsuit against University Health Network

Even though there is both video and eyewitness evidence, Justice Sean Dunphy dismissed charges of manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death against Amanda Rojas-Silva and Shane Hutley, the two security guards who manhandled Stephanie.

It should go without saying that a person typically goes to a hospital in order to... you know, get better.

Sadly, this was not the case for Stephanie Warriner back in May 2020.

Stephanie was a patient at Toronto General Hospital. The 43-year-old mother of five suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lived with bipolar disorder. But Stephanie's stay at Toronto General turned into a death sentence for her after she had an altercation with a pair of security guards. They confronted Stephanie for not wearing her mask properly โ€” even though she was en route to the hospital's cafeteria for a snack (in which case she would have had to remove the mask entirely in order to eat and drink).

Evil Walks Among Us: Child trafficking has become big business in America

Child Trafficking
© A Government of Wolves
It takes a special kind of evil to prostitute and traffick a child for sex, and yet this evil walks among us every minute of every day.

Consider this: every two minutes, a child is bought and sold for sex. Hundreds of young girls and boys โ€” some as young as 9 years old โ€” are being bought and sold for sex, as many as 20 times per day. Adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year in the United States alone.

In Georgia alone, it is estimated that 7,200 men (half of them in their 30s) seek to purchase sex with adolescent girls each month, averaging roughly 300 a day.

On average, a child might be raped by 6,000 men during a five-year period.

Catherine Austin Fitts: I want to stop CBDCs - What can I do?

cash or slavery
Many subscribers and readers of the Solari Report have asked how they can stop the implementation of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) in the U.S. and other countries. It is important to recognize that there is a great deal that each one of us can do to take action. In a highly leveraged financial system such as we have, a single individual counts for a lot.

Here are actions that each of us can take:

(1) USE CASH whenever possible โ€” and let everyone know why you are using cash. Walk out on establishments that refuse to accept cash. When using remote facilities where cash is not possible, use checks if you can. We understand from one subscriber that check companies are scrambling to fill the orders of all of the bank customers who have requested checks recently. Whether the indicator is banking statistics or anecdotal reports from our subscribers, cash use is clearly rising.

(2) NURTURE ANALOG. We want a healthy balance of digital and analog transaction options. What we do not want is an all-digital system โ€” whether it is CBDCs or all of the other digital mechanisms. Some digitization is both healthy and efficient, but an all-digital system โ€” with regards to virtually anything โ€” is vulnerable to central control and manipulation. Roll back your use of digital systems, avoid biometric technology as much as possible, and don't use QR codes! Get invasive surveillance systems out of your home. Use hard-wired Internet connections, not Wi-Fi, and find other ways to Loosen Technology's Grip on Your Mind. While you are at it, refuse to use or support vaccine passports (see 22 Ways to Stop Vaccine ID Passports).

COVID-19 vaccine policies at Ontario hospitals are keeping health workers from filling dire staff shortages

About 160 veteran nurses, personal support workers and health-care technicians, along with their families, gathered in a church hall in Port Perry, Ont., in person or by video conference, on a snowy afternoon this past Saturday.

These distressed individuals have a message for patients waiting for health care in the province: we want to work on the front lines but are being shut out.

"I am ready, willing and able to work," Lori Turnbull told CTV National News. But nobody will hire her.

The 58-year-old once worked in surgery and rehabilitation but was fired a year ago from a hospital in London, Ont., after a 30-year career.

In fact, all of the health workers in this unusual audience were terminated after declining to get two COVID-19 vaccinations in 2021, as required by all 140 of Ontario's public hospitals and some nursing and retirement homes.

Vatican investigating rumours of 'sex party' at Newcastle cathedral

The Vatican is investigating rumours of a "sex party" at a British cathedral which is alleged to have happened during lockdown.

As part of an investigation into the circumstances of Robert Byrne's resignation as the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, the Catholic church is looking into claims one of his priests invited worshippers to a private party at his lodgings.

Multiple people are said to have complained that Father Michael McCoy, dean of Newcastle Cathedral, approached them to attend a party at a time when gatherings were not permitted.

A diocese source told the Sunday Times said: "A number of complaints were made by individuals within the diocese after information came to light about a sex party taking place in the priests' living quarters attached to Newcastle Cathedral."

McCoy, 57, killed himself in April 2021 four days after finding out he was subject to an investigation by Northumbria police's child and adult protection department for child sexual abuse.

TikTok: A Chinese superweapon of mass distraction

TikTok
For thousands of years, humans sought to subjugate their enemies by inflicting pain, misery, and terror. They did this because these were the most paralyzing emotions they could consistently evoke; all it took was the slash of a sword or pull of a trigger.

But as our understanding of psychology has developed, so it has become easier to evoke other emotions in complete strangers. Advances in the understanding of positive reinforcement, driven mostly by people trying to get us to click on links, have now made it possible to consistently give people on the other side of the world dopamine hits at scale.

As such, pleasure is now a weapon; a way to incapacitate an enemy as surely as does pain. And the first pleasure-weapon of mass destruction may just be a little app on your phone called TikTok.

Here's a look at what happened, and the immediate prospects for Pakistan's power grid.

WHAT HAPPENED

Pakistan's energy ministry said on Monday the system frequency of its National Grid went down at 0734 hours local time, causing a "widespread breakdown" in the power system.

France protests: Photographer has testicle amputated after police club him during rally, 1 million people marched across country

france protest 2023
© Christophe Petit-Tesson/EPAGuardian staff and agenciesA man lost a testicle after clashes with police at protests in Paris, France, against the raising of the retirement age, his lawyer said.
Doctors had to amputate the testicle of a young man who got clubbed in the groin by a police officer during demonstrations in Paris last week, according the man's lawyer.

Images and footage from Thursday's demonstrations circulating online show a policeman hitting a man on the ground between the legs, and then leaving. The man is seen holding a camera.

The incident occurred during a surge of violence at a mostly peaceful march attended by tens of thousands of people opposed to the government's plan to raise the age of retirement. About 1 million people marched in cities across France on Thursday.

Comment: These protests are about much more than just the attempts to raise the retirement age, and they're igniting across Europe, and, in turn, governments are rushing through new laws that will allow them to outlaw strikes and protests:

Hundreds of bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers being stored in refrigerated wagons in Transcarpathia, yards from Hungarian border

ukraine war dead
Metropol has come into possession of shocking information. Just a few hundred meters from the Hungarian border, in a carefully guarded and isolated part of a railway junction, the bodies of hundreds of soldiers are kept by the Ukrainian authorities in a refrigerated wagon specially designed for this purpose.

The soldiers lost their lives several weeks ago, and in some cases more than a month ago, but their relatives have not yet been able to bury them.

The issue of funerals is treated as the most serious political issue by President Zelenskyi's war propaganda team. They even regulate when and at what rate relatives are informed of the news of a death, but they also carefully allocate the number of funerals allowed per day.

Obviously, they are afraid of the panic due to the increasingly massive loss of life, the despair of the relatives, and the even more dramatic deterioration of the civil and military atmosphere.

That is why the special refrigerated wagons are needed, one of which is now standing just a few hundred meters from the Hungarian border, under the strictest military custody. These special vehicles were received by Ukraine a few months ago as part of foreign military aid, and they also have self-developed refrigerated trucks for transporting dead bodies.
