Texas Governor Greg Abbott barrs mask mandates
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed on Wednesday to take any school or local government that defies his executive order barring mask mandates "to court" after he challenged a Dallas mask order.

Abbott, along with state Attorney General Ken Paxton, petitioned the 5th Court of Appeals in an attempt to block a district judge ruling that allowed the state's second-largest school district to require masks.

Earlier in the day, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins ordered that all schools, childcare centers and businesses in the county must require face coverings, after a district judge granted him temporary powers to supersede a previous order by the governor. Abbott and Paxton argued the mandate violated the governor's executive order that banned local governments from implementing mask regulations, despite the recent jump in coronavirus cases. Paxton stated:
"Attention-grabbing judges and mayors have defied executive orders before, when the pandemic first started, and the courts ruled on our side - the law. I'm confident the outcomes to any suits will side with liberty and individual choice, not mandates and government overreach."

Comment: Masks, a detriment to the wearer, have no health benefit nor preventative quality regarding COVID.

Chicago Mayor Lightfoot to increase police budget after roughly 1K officers resign, 1 officer murdered

Chicago's Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot has agreed to boost police funding after tragedy struck her city's police department. Following hundreds of police officers' resignations in the Windy City and one officer recently murdered, Lightfoot said at a press conference on Wednesday that she promises to increase police funding in 2022.

On Saturday, 29-year-old Chicago police officer Ella French was shot during a traffic stop and later died from her wounds. Her partner was also shot and hospitalized with his condition remaining unknown.

Following the tragic incident, Mayor Lightfoot went to the hospital where the wounded officers were taken. However, police officers visiting their colleagues reportedly turned their backs on the far-left lawmaker who previously proposed a mass cut to the department's budget.

Comment: Lightfoot is not the leader Chicago needs, nor can the city afford to pander to social cues run amok. Cities need agreed protocol and clear working relationships between staff and management - qualities Lightfoot sorely lacks.

Soros sock puppet orders raid on Colorado election clerk's office as Dominion watches on

Jena Griswold is part of Soros network of Democrat dupes acting as secretaries of state.
Colorado's Soros-funded Democrat secretary of state Jena Griswold staged a raid on the office of a county election clerk's office on Tuesday while the clerk flew to Mike Lindell's symposium in South Dakota to expose election fraud to some 46 US state representatives.

Griswold and her election officials have refused to answer questions on the November 2020 election raised by some 1000 citizens of the state. So far they have discovered some 25,000 non-resident votes.

Earlier, the computer set-up for the three-day symposium was subject to hack attacks, forcing organisers to twice run back-up systems. The office raid was "well timed" and Griswold's state officials did not allow it to be observed by the deputy standing in for Tina Peters, the Republican elected as Mesa County's election clerk.

An employee of Dominion Voting Systems, whose equipment is under investigation in multiple states, reportedly accompanied the state officials conducting the raid. Dominion, Griswold and other bought- and-paid-for Soros secretaries of state have been denying Dominion machinery can connect to the internet, when hard evidence shows they clearly can.

Comment: The shocking announcement of the office raid interrupted the cyber symposium, set to reveal new and important information.

EU brands Polish media bill 'a negative signal'

A protester holds a placard reading "Free media!" during a demonstration in defence of media freedom and against a proposed amendment to the country's broadcast media law regarding the share of foreign capital in Polish media, in Czestochowa, Poland August 10, 2021.
The European Commission on Thursday criticized a Polish bill limiting foreign ownership of media companies that has been passed by the country's lower house of parliament, saying it sent a negative signal.

"Media pluralism and diversity of opinions are what strong democracies welcome, not fight against," the Vice President of the European Union's executive, Vera Jourova, who is responsible for media freedom, said on Twitter. "The draft Polish broadcasting law sends a negative signal."

On Wednesday, Polish lawmakers passed a bill that would strengthen a ban on firms from outside the European Economic Area controlling Polish broadcasters.

The opposition in Warsaw says the bill aims to gag the news channel TVN24, which is owned by U.S.-based media group Discovery Inc and is critical of the right-wing nationalist government.

Comment: The European Commission apparently doesn't think anyone should be allowed to ban US propaganda.

Dr. Robert Malone, mRNA pioneer, says public health experts must check 'egos at the door,' adjust COVID policies to reality

Dr. Robert Malone
Dr. Robert Malone urges public health officials to "check [their] egos at the door" and change their policies with the science regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Malone, an immunologist and epidemiologist who says he invented the mRNA technology that's used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, explained on the John Solomon Reports podcast on Monday that new mutant variants of COVID-19 "are able to bypass, to a significant extent, the protection afforded by the current vaccines."

With the immune systems of everyone who's vaccinated trained to fight the virus in the same way, "what that's going to do is create a setup where once we do have a fully functional viral escape mutant, there will be no barriers to it spreading rapidly through the human population and, basically, completely abrogating any benefits associated with the vaccines," he warned.

Arnold Schwarzenegger piles on the covid guilt
Arnold Schwarzenegger says "Hasta la vista" to anti-maskers as COVID-19 regulations return amid the Delta variant.

The "Terminator" film icon and former governor of California spoke via YouTube Wednesday to urge "schmucks" to follow the rules and get vaccinated to "protect your fellow Americans."

"There is a virus here — it kills people," Schwarzenegger said, "and the only way we prevent it is get vaccinated, get masks, do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about 'Well, my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.' No, screw your freedom."

Comment: Another attempt at celebrity influencing.

A British-flagged boat, reportedly carrying tourists, has sunk off the Greek island of Milos with a rescue operation involving several vessels and a navy helicopter dispatched to find the 17 passengers.

Speaking to channel ERT, Nikos Kokkalas, a spokesman of the Ministry of Shipping confirmed media reports that a vessel, believed to be a yacht, carrying 17 passengers sank on Thursday morning. All passengers are now safe.

According to ERT, Kokkalas said the passengers themselves had raised a distress signal and had time to put their life jackets on before the vessel sank. A speedboat was first at the scene and collected passengers from the sea.

Australian capital Canberra goes into snap lockdown over ONE 'case' of Covid, first in more than a year

People have been queuing in shops as the lockdown approaches
The Australian capital Canberra is going into a snap one-week lockdown after recording its first case of Covid-19 in more than a year.

It will come into effect at 17:00 local time on Thursday (07:00 GMT).

The lockdown was called for the whole of the Australian Capital Territory - home to around 400,000 people - because authorities do not know how the infected person caught the virus.


Comment: Is that really a valid reason to lockdown nearly half a million people?


Comment: That less than a quarter of Australians are vaccinated likely reflects their skepticism towards the experimental injections themselves and the whole manufactured crisis; is that why the Australian establishment is taking such extreme measures against its people? Australia's MILITARY enforcing lockdown, helicopters soar overheard blaring warnings, gov't wants to inject 80% of population before border block lifted

Delta Variants, PCR Tests and Cognitive Dissonance

gloves
To paraphrase a famous quip from then Presidential candidate Bill Clinton in a debate with his Republican opponent in 1992, "It's the vaccine, stupid!" The daily mainstream media and government narrative we are being inundated all over the world with is confusing to most, to put it mildly. So-called Delta or "Indian" variant is spreading like chicken pox we are told, but not what that "spreading" means. Unvaccinated are accused of spreading COVID-19 to those supposedly vaccinated. The USA, UK and EU are leading this confusing and deadly narrative.

Children are told by political appointees to get the jab despite official recommendation from WHO and national medical authorities such as STIKO in Germany to wait. PCR tests that define policy, but which do not tell anything about a person's having a specific virus, are treated as a "Gold Standard" of infection. Yet as of this writing not one lab has successfully isolated purified samples of the alleged SARS-CoV-2 virus said to cause the COVID-19 disease. How can PCR tests be calibrated if the claimed pathogen is not clear? If we take a step back it becomes clear that we are being subjected to a deliberate worldwide operation in cognitive dissonance whose intended consequences for the future of our civilization are not being told to us.
