A multi-story building under construction has collapsed in Lagos, Nigeria, with the structure reduced to a pile of concrete. Local officials have confirmed at least four deaths in the incident, while dozens are feared trapped.

The incident occurred on Monday in the affluent neighborhood of Ikoyi. An unknown number of construction workers are believed trapped under the rubble, with a local official from the National Emergency Management Agency confirming that four people have died and a further four have been rescued alive.

Some 100 people may have been at the site when the building went down, two construction workers there told Reuters.

American Airlines cancels another 250 flights, blames 'bad weather and staffing issues'

American Airlines canceled over 250 more flights — about 9 percent of its scheduled trips — on Monday morning after canceling over 1,500 flights through the weekend, blaming the travel disruptions on weather woes and staffing issues.

Comment: YEAH RIGHT! Its pilots are on STRIKE because they won't take the damned vaccine!

By 8 a.m. ET Monday, American had canceled 269 flights for the day and delayed another 117, according to data from aviation tracking site FlightAware.

The recent bout of cancellations comes as the airline scrambles to recover from a messy Halloween weekend that saw the airline cancel as much as 30 percent of its scheduled flights on some days.

In a note to staff on Saturday, American COO David Seymour blamed the delays on poor weather conditions around the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline's base of operations, that had displaced staff around the country, according to CNBC.

Comment: These gormless ghouls are shameless!

Comment: They're gonna start backtracking all over the place as they figure out that nothing will run without 'those useless anti-vaxxers'.

Monty Python icon Terry Gilliam has new live production CANCELLED after staff uproar over 'transphobic' views

A London theatre has been criticised for "pandering" to mob rule after cancelling a production by Monty Python star Terry Gilliam - reportedly due to staff unrest about his views on trans rights and the #MeToo movement.

80-year-old Gilliam was set to co-direct the musical Into the Woods at the Old Vic next year, but the show was abruptly cancelled last week. While no reason was given, entertainment news outlet The Stage reported that there had been dissatisfaction among staff since May, when the production was originally announced.

Staff concerns apparently revolved around Gilliam's previous comments in the press relating to transgender issues, race, and the #MeToo movement, which some felt were at odds with the theatre's "culture and values."

Early closure of bars and restaurants had no impact on the spread of Covid in Japan

When comparing the impact of Covid in different countries, Japan is a clear outlier. In 2020, the country had zero days of mandatory business closures and zero days of mandatory stay-at-home orders. Despite seeing less change in mobility than major European countries, Japan has not had any excess mortality since the pandemic began.

As you may recall, the country hosted the Summer Olympics between 23rd July and 8th August. But even that did not lead to a large number of deaths. It has been suggested that Japanese people, and perhaps East Asians in general, have some degree of prior immunity to the virus.

In January of this year, Japan introduced restrictions on businesses for the first time. Specifically, 11 prefectures (including the capital, Tokyo) prohibited bars and restaurants from selling alcohol after 7pm, and forced them to close at 8pm.

A protester gathers containers that look like OxyContin bottles at an anti-opioid demonstration in front of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services headquarters in Washington on April 5, 2019. A California judge has ruled for top drug manufacturers as local governments seek billions of dollars to cover their costs from the nation’s opioid epidemic. Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson issued a tentative ruling Monday, Nov. 1, 2021, that said the governments hadn't proven the pharmaceutical companies used deceptive marketing to increase unnecessary opioid prescriptions and create a public nuisance.

A California judge has ruled for top drug manufacturers as local governments seek billions of dollars to cover their costs from the nation's opioid epidemic.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson issued a tentative ruling on Monday that said the governments hadn't proven the pharmaceutical companies used deceptive marketing to increase unnecessary opioid prescriptions and create a public nuisance.

"There is simply no evidence to show that the rise in prescriptions was not the result of the medically appropriate provision of pain medications to patients in need," Wilson wrote in a ruling of more than 40 pages.

"Any adverse downstream consequences flowing from medically appropriate prescriptions cannot constitute an actionable public nuisance," the ruling said.

Mandating vaccine for NHS staff would lead to winter staffing crisis, should wait until April - Providers Chief

Chris Hopson, the Chief Executive of NHS Providers has sent a warning that the NHS could suffer severe staff shortages this winter if mandatory vaccination for NHS staff comes into effect. Approximately 10% of all NHS workers haven't received two doses of a Covid vaccine, which encompasses roughly 120,000 members of staff, with Hopson saying that any vaccine mandate should be delayed until April to avoid any serious problems over the next few months. The Telegraph has the story.

Comment: The NHS has been at crisis levels for nearly a decade. Those running the NHS and the establishment behind the scenes know full well that this mandate will cause an unprecedented staff shortage, and this is is on top of hospitals running at a reduced capacity if they continue to enforce distancing restrictions in hospitals. The known consequences of both is that people will suffer, and some will die, unnecessarily.

For reasons that aren't yet clear, the establishment - working in concert across the globe - feels compelled to coerce as many people as possible into suffering these experimental injections, and it cares less about the 'collateral damage' it has to incur along the way:

Authors of Great Barrington Declaration got it right — Lockdowns were a disaster, especially for young people

In a segment of The Hill's "Rising," Kim Iversen discussed the controversial Great Barrington Declaration, suggesting the authors were correct about the effects of harsh pandemic lockdown policies.

"Back in October 2020, three well-respected epidemiologists and public health scientists — Sunetra Gupta of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Martin Kulldoroff of Harvard — wrote a memo detailing what they believed would be a better approach to handling the pandemic," said Iversen.

Iversen said:

"During that time everyone was still all about the lockdowns. The common wisdom of the day was stay home, save lives and wait for a vaccine. Schools closed, businesses were shuttered and people were scrambling to figure out how they were going to make ends meet."

Comment: Finally, a mainstream outlet that is reporting on the disastrous effects of creating open-air prisons and locking up healthy people for months on end. See also:

Indian television exposes how Pfizer bullies and blackmails countries who need supplies of COVID shots

Indian news show host wion gravitas pfizer

"Desperate countries forced to make humiliating concessions"

WION Gravitas, a popular prime-time show in India that brings viewers news and discussions on concurrent issues and across the globe, exposed in a recent episode how Pfizer bullies and blackmails countries for shots and took a hard line in the push for profit.

A non-profit organization called Public Citizen obtained a confidential unredacted Pfizer contract of some of its negotiations. The contracts show how Pfizer can stop countries from speaking about its contracts, block vaccine donations, unilaterally change delivery schedules and demand public assets as collateral.

"The contracts offer a rare glimpse into the power one pharmaceutical corporation has gained to silence governments, throttle supply, shift risk and maximize profits in the worst public health crisis in a century," Public Citizen reported.

Comment: Wow. Not only do the corrupt vaccine companies get to insanely profit off an untested gene 'therapy', they get to dictate the very terms on which their concoction is distributed, AND strip a country of its patrimony should they fall behind in their ~~tribute~~ payments. The programming really is complete.

New US Digital Driver's License to include vaccine status, credit score, travel records

A new Digital Drivers License is currently in the works in Utah and other states.

The program will include your driver's license info and your COVID-19 status. This will be tracked by the government and available to government employees.

A TGP reader sent this to us this morning-

The program may also include the following information in the future:

** Your health records
** Your financial reports
** Credit scores
** Travel records
** Vehicle registration
** Spending
** Voting
** Sex offender status
** Licenses and Permits you have
** Parking Fines
** Social Credit Scoring

Comment: Contrary to the above claims, there's no evidence that this totalitarian agenda of social credit scores and the like is being rolled out in China, however there is strong evidence, and that's increasing by the day, that that is exactly what the West is doing, albeit oftentimes using Chinese technologies: Debunking anti-Chinese psyops: Social credit as distasteful necessity in an age of asymmetric warfare

S.Korea eases curbs, imposes vaccine passports in 'living with COVID-19' campaign

Women wearing masks to avoid contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease walk at a park in Seoul, South Korea, August 24, 2021.

New rules aimed at moving South Koreans toward "living with COVID-19" came into effect on Monday, with the easing of a range of curbs and the introduction of vaccine passports at high-risk venues such as gyms, saunas and bars.

The switch of focus comes as more than 75% of the country's population has been fully vaccinated. The first phase of the revised rules is due to last for a month, with plans to scrap all restrictions by February.

"The return path to everyday life, to which we're taking the first step today, is a path we've never been on," Health Minister Kwon Deok-cheol told an intra-agency COVID-19 meeting.

He asked people to keep wearing masks, regularly ventilate rooms and get a test if symptoms emerge, noting that there are still concerns about a potential resurgence of new cases due to risk factors such as unvaccinated people, future declines in immunity among the vaccinated, and year-end gatherings.

Comment: All the data shows that vaccinated people have a much bigger virus load than unvaccinated. The statement that healthy unvaccinated people spread the virus is pure propaganda, not scientific fact.

Comment: S.Korea has about 52 million people. If official number of death by Covid is 2,858, then we can calculate the death rate and it is 0.005%.
If we look at the main causes of death in S.Korea, we can see that Covid is not even among the top ten.

So why such a panic and hysteria over a virus with a 99.995% survival rate?
It looks like the goal is not to protect people from a virus but some other nefarious agenda of the PTB.
