Police officers staff a cordon as Rangers football fans celebrate in George Square in central Glasgow on March 7, 2021 after their first Scottish Premiership title for 10 years was confirmed.
Police officers staff a cordon as Rangers football fans celebrate in George Square in central Glasgow on March 7, 2021 after their first Scottish Premiership title for 10 years was confirmed.
John Scott QC, chairman of the independent advisory group on law enforcement during the coronavirus crisis, ruled that a decision by Police Scotland earlier this month to avoid confrontation with football fans flouting pandemic rules was proportionate and within the law. The force had come under fire from some politicians for standing on the sidelines while supporters of Rangers FC ignored social distancing measures and destroyed property.
Scott defended the tactics, citing evidence that "heavy handed policing can actually provoke crowd conflict," and warning that scenes of tough crackdowns by authorities could inflame tensions online and across society.

In a statement released on Tuesday night, the country's armed forces medical command issued a statement on Facebook claiming that an off-duty officer serving in a military unit in Odessa, in the south of the country, had received emergency care after losing consciousness.
"Military and civilian doctors carried out resuscitation measures at the scene," it stated, "but this was unfortunately unsuccessful." According to the statement, the soldier - named by local media on Wednesday as Inna Narozhnaya - had been serving in an anti-aircraft missile regiment on the Black Sea coast.Reuters reported that this marks the first apparent inoculation-related death since Ukraine began its nationwide immunization campaign, having received 500,000 doses of Covishield, an Indian-made version of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
"In line with all protocols," the military doctors said, "the soldier received vaccination against Covid-19 by a mobile health team from the Odessa Health Department." According to local health service chiefs, the woman had no health complaints other than a history of hypertension. An autopsy will now take place, and the army officials warned public officials and the media "not to make premature conclusions about the circumstances of the soldier's death."
Comment: The real data and real science tell us that the Covid-19 virus has a death rate not bigger than the regular seasonal flu. On the other side, the vaccines that should protect us from this virus are far more dangerous and lethal than the virus itself. The PTB is doing everything to force anyone to get these shots.
Some of the vaccines that are created with mRNA technology including the Astra Zeneca vaccine, cannot even be legally categorized as vaccines. They are just experimental gene therapy.

Mexican scientist Gustavo Acosta Altamirano shows his new innovation, a nasal mask that goes under your regular COVID mask.
What are the details?
CBS News posted a video showing the masks being worn by a man and woman sharing a meal. The couple is seen removing masks that cover both their noses and mouths to reveal their nose-only masks underneath.
The pair proceed to eat food, take drinks, and chat with one another as they display the new product.
Apparently, the Mexican researchers weren't the first to come up with the idea. A year ago, Chinese medical workers were reportedly using a similar nose mask during meals due to the pandemic.

Who would have imagined that, one day, that dreaded puritanical institution, the official censor, would assume the role of an educator?
Recently, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the body tasked with censoring and classifying the films released in the UK, announced that it has decided to get involved in educating parents on how to deal with one of the most controversial issues they face.
It has compiled a list of five movies that "explore transgender experiences" which it believes are fit for family discussions. It hopes that as a result of this initiative, it can prompt discussion on this sensitive topic between parents and their children. Although on its website the BBFC presents the initiative as an educational one, its real aim, however, is not so much to educate as to advocate.

If your game is to argue for more taxes and transfers to fix income inequality, that is a dandy subterfuge as no amount of taxing and transferring can ever improve the measured problem!
Now facts are facts, and this one has a good progressive interpretation: But for our sharply progressive tax system and benefits, untrammeled capitalism would have led to sharply increased inequality. The numbers don't argue for more redistribution, but they are consistent with a narrative that only our current large redistribution saved us from the top two lines.
Gramm and Early offer a sentence on this worth pausing to think about:
As government transfer payments to low-income households exploded, their labor-force participation collapsed and the percentage of income in the bottom quintile coming from government payments rose above 90%.A major force behind the pre-tax and pre-transfer numbers is the fall in labor force participation among people experiencing low income. It is not entirely impossible that some causality runs from larger means-tested benefits -- earn a dollar lose a dollar worth of benefits -- to withdrawing from the workforce, rather than the other way around.
The second clause is enlightening. People experiencing income in the bottom fifth of the US population get 90% of their income from the government.

The Libertarian Party advocates a veritable open border policy on the grounds of laissez-faire. The LP likens the movement of people across borders to the movement of capital and goods: "To promote economic freedom, they demand the unrestricted movement of humans as well as financial capital across national borders." While this may strike some libertarians as self-consistent, the platform prong is nevertheless ill conceived. As demonstrated by Lew Rockwell — following the analyses of Hans-Hermann Hoppe and Murray Rothbard — for several reasons, immigration cannot be equated with international trade. In short, despite the murkiness of the concept of "public property," unvetted immigration infringes the property rights of citizens.
President Donald Trump's immigration policy was instituted as part of the "America First" platform. Although it may be understood in terms of the property rights of US citizens, it was never justified on these grounds. The result was that Democrats and the media could claim that the policy was racist rather than principled.
Now that the Left has secured complete control of the federal government, the lack of principle is resulting in a humanitarian crisis under the banner of humanitarianism, mostly for political gain.
Immediately upon taking office, Biden signed a welter of executive orders and presidential proclamations, issued on "humanitarian" grounds. Full of bromides about human dignity and fairness, the humanitarianism of Biden's declarations is belied by the infringement of the prerogatives and property rights of US citizens, as well as the apparent endangerment of their health and general welfare. Although the covid crisis is grossly overstated, the hypocrisy of the Left is on full display as mask-less immigrants pour into the country without covid precautions while many Americans remain masked and partially locked down.

Comment: Sigh. The Post Millennial opted to scrupulously retain Challenor's 'preferred pronouns' for this piece.
Reddit admins say they didn't properly vet them before hiring.
A controversial hire that caused a massive site-wide blackout protest has favored the masses.
From u/spez:
"We would like to give you all an update on the recent issues that have transpired concerning a specific Reddit employee, as well as provide you with context into actions that we took to prevent doxxing and harassment.
As of today, the employee in question is no longer employed by Reddit. We built a relationship with her first as a mod and then through her contractor work on RPAN. We did not adequately vet her background before formally hiring her."
Comment: How did it come to be that protecting the tender sensibilities of ones 'chosen identity' trumps properly judging their character and actions. The Challenors, father and "them", are a horror show. Yet usually "they" are allowed to go on. Kudos to the reddit community for standing up to the madness.
Billions of people across the globe continue to live under COVID-19 lockdowns or heavily-restricted life. And for almost all of us, life amid the pandemic in 2020 was an isolating and difficult year. Yet doctors are warning that children in particular are experiencing grave mental health consequences as a result of the lockdowns — leading to an "international epidemic" of child suicide.
The Associated Press interviewed Dr. David Greenhorn on the subject, who works in the emergency department at England's Bradford Royal Infirmary. The number of mental health crises he has seen, such as suicide attempts, has gone from a couple per week pre-pandemic to now several per day.
Comment: Even if the majority of youngsters and teens manage to come through the madness, they will be marked for life by an evil inflicted on them in the name of keeping them "safe".

Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson holds a news conference at 10 Downing Street, on the day of reflection to mark the anniversary of Britain's first coronavirus disease (COVID-19) lockdown, in London, Britain March 23, 2021.
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson holds a news conference at 10 Downing Street, on the day of reflection to mark the anniversary of Britain's first coronavirus disease (COVID-19) lockdown, in London, Britain March 23, 2021.
Johnson told MPs on Wednesday that vaccine mandates "may be up to individual publicans" or landlords, and that the "concept of vaccine certification should not be totally alien to us."
The prime minister's comments prompted criticism from members of his own party, including Covid Recovery Group Deputy Chairman Steve Baker MP, who said Johnson has "[begun] to tread a dangerous path" and that politicians "must not fall into this ghastly trap."
Comment: Sadly there doesn't appear to have been the same outcry when AstraZeneca in league with the UK government admitted it would be subjecting Britain's children to its vaccine trials: UK children to be test subjects of latest AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine trials
Comment: They probably want to cover the increased police brutality and general people's dissatisfaction from the imposed tyrannical measures with their favorite culprit - Russia. If something is not going as it should, just blame Russia.
Many other newspapers and TV stations have reported the same thing as RT. Similar articles appeared in France24, The Guardian, Aljazeera, and many other media, but nobody is criticizing them about their reporting.
