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.

Newsom, who is facing a closer-than-anticipated recall election, spoke to the Sacramento Bee in an interview last week in which he grew angry at critics of California.

Clips from interview have since gained steam online, where they have been making the rounds on social media.

American Express CRT-style 'diversity training' tells employees capitalism is based on 'systemic racism' - reports

A racial sensitivity seminar held by American Express reportedly told employees that capitalism is predicated on exploitation and "systemic racism," while white workers were urged to acknowledge their "unconscious" bigotry.

A trove of internal documents published by journalist Christopher Rufo on Wednesday purported to show a diversity training course put on by the financial services giant last year, largely centered on promoting "racial equity and progress."

Trafficking heavily in concepts such as "white privilege," "microaggressions" and "intersectionality," the course informs white staffers of their duty to be dedicated anti-racist "allies," which includes reflecting on their own inborn racism and deferring to people of color so as not to "speak over" them.

Israel is to require Covid tests from next week for children as young as three to enter schools, swimming pools, hotels or gyms as infections surge despite extensive adult vaccinations.

Israel already required children aged 12 and over to show a Green Pass re-introduced late last month showing a person's vaccination and testing status and whether they had recovered from Covid.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said from next Wednesday the state would fund unlimited tests for children aged three to 11. The Magen David Adom emergency service said it had opened 120 rapid antigen testing centres nationwide.

PayPal suspended a British user's account for allegedly violating US sanctions against Iran after they purchased a Persian rug-style mousepad that was made in England.

A Cambridge resident told the Guardian on Thursday that the US-based payment processing company had informed them they were potentially "violating international sanctions" by buying an English-made novelty rug on the handmade crafts store Etsy.

"My account was suspended and, in an email, which mistook me for the seller, it informed me I was advertising PayPal as a method of payment for items that may originate from Iran," the user claimed, adding that the company also warned them the account would be "terminated" unless they could provide evidence showing that the mousepad was made outside of Iran.

'He avoided double death?' Man killed by Covid was spared 'worse condition' because he was fully vaxxed, reassuring report claims

As experts extol the life-preserving qualities of Covid jabs, a news story has claimed that the condition of a man who perished from the virus could have been worse had he not been vaxxed, kindling philosophical debate on Twitter.

The metaphysical social media chatter was triggered by national media coverage of the recent death of Texas native Patricio Elizondo, a diabetic who suffered from heart problems. After Elizondo fell ill in early August, his daughter suspected that he may be suffering from a resurgence of congestive heart failure. The 76-year-old was soon hospitalized after he began having difficulty breathing - a common symptom of heart failure, which can lead to fluid building up in the lungs causing shortness of breath.

But doctors said that a chest X-ray revealed that Elizondo had actually caught Covid. He passed away on August 3 due to lung damage caused by the virus, a cardiologist who treated Elizondo said.
