Since the publication of How British Authorities Circumvent the Treaty against Torture - Revelations from Assange's Extradition Hearing, answers received from the prison authorities (HMPPS) to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request provide further indication that the treatment of Assange while in the healthcare unit was unlawful.
Testimonies by medical witnesses at Assange's September hearing shed light on the questions raised by the UN Rapporteur on Torture.
An expert medical witness named Dr Nigel Blackwood testified at Assange's extradition hearing in September that the head of Belmarsh healthcare, Dr Rachel Daly, told him that Assange had been isolated in the healthcare unit because a video of him had been released by another prisoner.
The city of Detroit has asked a federal judge to disbar Sidney Powell, Georgia-based lawyer Lin Wood, and other members of the "Kraken" legal team for "false and frivolous claims" made "while seeking relief with massive implications for our democracy." City authorities cite a lack of withdrawals or corrections to "false factual allegations and frivolous legal theories in their pleadings" to overturn election results.
The case, filed Tuesday, comes following the announcement earlier this week by Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos that his company would be filing a separate lawsuit against Powell over her claim that Dominion machines were used to manipulate election results in Joe Biden's favour.
Here we are again. After what was for many people a fraught and upsetting Christmas, and a revelry-free New Year, the UK is back in lockdown. It is slated to last until February, but without major dissent, the true end is not in sight.
Is Lockdown 3.0 'justified'? Is the NHS 'about to be overwhelmed'? Will the big bad new strain come and get me? If you are still asking these questions at this point you may be beyond reach. Plenty of better minds than mine have for ten months tirelessly and repeatedly made watertight arguments that lockdowns do incalculable harm and just about zero good. The situation in the NHS is not markedly different to just about every previous winter going back as long as you like — just Google it. And the 'new' strain is transparent propaganda. Sadly though, there is a problem with my arguments: they are based on nothing except reason and rationality.
Logic is clearly overrated
I refuse to once again become bogged down in discussions of cases, infection rates, ICU beds and the rest of the flotsam and jetsam of this debate. In constantly reacting to the government's latest claims, we forge the weapons of our own defeat. In any case, there is really only one statistic that matters when you are assessing the impact of a pandemic: overall excess deaths. That is, the number of people dying of ALL CAUSES compared with previous years.
Comment: Boris proposes a 'gradual unwrapping' of restrictions. Which basically means for every step towards removing restrictions, two steps backwards will be taken because "cases' or whatever other reason they invent. RT reports:
At Wednesday's parliamentary debate Johnson said the nation's emergence from the "lockdown cocoon will not be a big bang, but a gradual unwrapping." He added the country would come out of the newly imposed lockdown, "carefully brick by brick until the nation was free from the current confinement."
After announcing the new legislation in the House of Commons today, MPs were told the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) law would be scheduled to run until the end of March. At risk of causing a major pushback, the PM added it was "not because we expect the full national lockdown to continue until then, but to allow a steady, controlled and evidence led move down through the tiers on a regional basis."
Different regions of the UK have imposed their own lockdown measures. England uses the tier system. It consists of five grades of lockdown severity. Tier one requires those with weakened immune systems to shield from the virus, whilst tier five involves every citizen and is a full national lockdown. After MPs argued for more information as to when the lockdown would end Johnson said parliament "should, and will inevitably" get a chance to debate the final end date for the lockdown before the end of March. He added that he hoped this would "be substantially before the end of March" and that the reopening of schools was a major "priority."
Johnson said the moment when the nation can move out of lockdown "may come after the February school's half-term." However, he added the country should "remain extremely cautious about the timetable ahead."
The comments caused Conservative MP Jeremy Wright to challenge the prime minister to be "more definitive" about the numbers of people that must be vaccinated before restrictions can be lifted. Johnson replied to this by stating there would be "substantial opportunities to relax rules around about February 15," but stressed this would only happen if high-risk people and priority groups had received the vaccination.
I am being generous when I say that America was given a very small taste of its own medicine; unlike the horrific coups and violent uprisings the US routinely orchestrates in noncompliant nations around the world, this one stood exactly zero chance of seizing control of the government, and only one person died.
I am also being generous when I say the rioters "forced their way" in; DC chose not to increase its police presence in preparation for the protests despite knowing that they were planned, and there's footage of what appears to be cops actively letting them through a police barricade. There was some fighting between police and protesters, but contrasted with the unceasing barrage of police brutality footage which emerged from Black Lives Matter demonstrations a few months prior it's fair to say the police response today was relatively gentle.
Hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of patriots have descended on Washington DC to show their support for President Trump and to put spineless Republicans on notice who refuse to reject electoral college votes from 6 contested states.
Democrat Mayor Bowser has blocked off the roads, making it nearly impossible for even the most seasoned traveler to navigate around the city. Restaurants are closed, making it next to impossible for these patriots to find food, and bathrooms are nowhere to be found. Additionally, the DC mayor, who refused to call in the National Guard when Black Lives Matter and Antifa were attempting to breach the perimeter of the White House has called in the National Guard to keep MAGA patriots in line.
Comment: ConservativeUS has publicized reports of suspected riot preparations in DC:
Multiple groups have received permits to host events with hundreds or thousands of people around the National Mall and near the White House. Demonstrations were set to begin with a march to the Capitol on Tuesday and culminate in rallies on Wednesday.Trump addresses supporters: Donald Trump Jr. gave a rousing response:
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has encouraged people to avoid downtown on Tuesday and Wednesday as law enforcement braces for the possibility of violent confrontations between pro-Trump demonstrators and counterprotesters.
"Make no mistake: many of these individuals have stated that they are coming to the District to provoke residents and wreak havoc," D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said.
The Metropolitan Police Department is expecting a crowd larger than at two pro-Trump events in D.C. last year. The D.C. National Guard will assist with crowd management and traffic control, officials said Monday.
Thousands gathered at Freedom Plaza, just a block from the White House, at around 1 p.m. Tuesday to kick off the first event of the day.
All firearms are banned within 1,000 feet of where the signs are posted ahead of pro-President Donald Trump demonstrations against certifying the electoral college votes for the 2020 presidential election, Fox 5 reported.
The security should be at the highest level but it seems that stashes of bricks and propane tanks are left unguarded on the streets near Freedom Plaza.
Photo below:
A local patriot reveled a stash of brick left there overnight:
She also posted a video explaining the whole situation:
Later she found a stash of un-protected Propane tanks.
Like that wasn't strange enough a photo of an NBC News security member surfaced and the man was looking identical to Antifa rioters that we've seen all summer burning our cities.
This is strange given the fact that the DC mayor said that they are well prepared. Dan Scavino gets the word out:
Supporters storm the Capitol:
Hundreds of thousands cheer 'Fight for Trump':
Thousands of trump supporters have entered the Capitol building:
US Capitol goes on LOCKDOWN:
UPDATE (4:15 EST): Trump and others have taken to Twitter to try to calm things down:
Here are protesters breaking windows to breach the Capitol, and some of the fighting that ensued:
There were reports of gunfire in the chambers, tear gas, reinforcements called in, and apparently an "armed standoff".
Pence was evacuated, as were Senate members. The National Guard was called to support Capitol Police, but the Pentagon apparently denied the request. One Trump supporter trying to enter the Senate was shot in the neck by police.
As for the protesters who stormed the Capitol, there's this:
A few more items for this update:
Trump gave one more message calling for peace and for people to go home:
Food for thought:
UPDATE (Jan. 7, 12:05 am EST): While violent and betraying the character conservatives have striven to uphold, the Capitol Hill riot couldn't hold a torch to the antifa/BLM riots back in May.
But that hasn't stopped Democrats from capitalizing on the optics (and begging for law and order).
The idiot rioters did exactly what the psychopathic Democrats wanted them to do, and now the Dems are gloating and exaggerating, as usual. We'll start with Biden, who went so far as to call it an "insurrection" (McConnell said the same thing, and Tim Cook, plus the usual tools like Obama, Bush, Clinton, et al.):
Schumer called it the next Pearl Harbor:
The Democrats are talking about impeaching Trump. Seriously? They're certain Biden will be inaugurated in two weeks. This either smacks of desperation or pure vindictive treachery.
Woke Critical Theory pseudo-reality makes its entrance:
Twitter blocked Trump for 12 hours. A state of emergency was declared in DC. The woman who was shot by police has died - she was an Air Force vet from California. Police say there were four fatalities.
It's hard to tell at this point how much violence there actually was. A lot of the people who 'stormed' the Capitol building were actually behaving themselves. Police even posed for selfies with them:
While many were in all likelihood crazy Trump supporters (like the QAnon guy with antlers), they were no doubt infiltrated by antifa types too.
Here's some of what all these rejects did:
And some more footage of the chaos:
Finally for tonight, here's Tucker on today's events:
UPDATE (Jan. 7, 4:30 pm EST): The officer involved in the shooting and killing of Ashli Babbitt has been suspended. (Police say over 50 officers were injured yesterday.)
You'll recognize this guy. Yes, he's crazy, and doing an Alex Jones impression to boot (kind of fitting, given that he's a voice actor in 'real life'):
Speaking of Venezuela, Twitter included Guaido in a list of 'world leaders' condemning the events at the Capitol. Yep, this Guaido:
It must be hypocrisy Thursday, because the hysterical propaganda today is off the charts.
In addition to his total social media ban, Trump might soon be banned from the UK, at least if Scottish "Justice" Minister Humza Yousaf gets his way, citing Trump's presence as "not conducive to the public good."
The entire American establishment (House, Senate, both parties, media, big tech) have united - against Trump. That should tell you how dangerous he was to them. This goes far beyond just not liking the guy or thinking he's Hitler. They consider him an existential threat and resorted to everything within their power to get rid of him, including a blatantly fraudulent election, and now, calls for his impeachment and removal via the 25th amendment.
In total, 9,989 Georgia voters seem to be registered at non-residential addresses: 1,882 at commercial addresses, 1,336 registered at county and state governmental buildings, and 6,735 at either hotels or motels.
Additionally, 215 new registrations (between November 4-December 14) for today's special election are linked to non-residential addresses.
They don't house homeless people, but when it comes time to vote, in spite of GA law that clearly states voters must provide an address where they reside to register to vote, the Central OAC makes their address available to thousands who would otherwise not be allowed by law to vote in GA.
The incredible Project Veritas with James O'Keefe at the lead was able to catch a Central AOC executive admitting that they register thousands of homeless people to vote, by allowing them to use their address in Fulton County, GA. Kimberly Parker, executive director at Central OAC told the undercover Project Veritas reporter:
"So, the majority of people we serve, don't have an address, so we allow them to use our address if they to register to vote and get Georgia State ID."This is a clear violation of GA law and is allowing someone to use a false statement on voter registration is illegal and punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
"For the small minority of people who refuse entry to police officers and obstruct their work, the power of entry would seem to be a useful tool. I have raised this issue with the policing minister previously and clarity on the power of entry would help police officers enforce the new Covid regulations more easily."As the third lockdown comes into force in England at midnight on Wednesday, the rising infection rate is also causing increasing absences from the ranks of officers needed to help enforce the lockdown.
The Guardian understands that ahead of the lockdown announcement, the government considered other tough measures including restricting how far people can travel for exercise and a night-time curfew from 10pm to early morning. The curtailment of movement ideas considered could have seen people limited to traveling only several miles from their main residence or to their own county.
Comment: Protocols have nothing to do with containing a common virus. They create leverage for increased power and control.
Warnock, a 51-year-old Atlanta pastor, was named as the winner by Associated Press, CBC News, CNN, Edison Research and other major election monitors.
Warnock has acknowledged his historic win — the first for a Democratic senatorial candidate in Georgia in two decades — in a livestream address to supporters.
"We were told that we couldn't win this election. But tonight, we proved that with hope, hard work and the people by our side, anything is possible," he said.
Comment: You didn't win Warnock. Plain and simple. Everything that went wrong on 11/3 also went wrong yesterday: anomalous vote flips, 'usb' errors, counting delays, the number of votes remaining to be counted inexplicably rising, no Republican observers. The list goes on.
Slimeball Sterling contradicted the above:
Then this started happening, just like 11/3:
Sterling is blaming Trump. Pathological projection.
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, once he boarded the plane, the patriotic passengers chanted "traitor" and demanded to know his connections to Burisma and Joe Biden.
Prior to boarding, a woman walked up and confronted him while filming the encounter. Before she could even get a word out, the senator barked at her to put her mask on.
"Don't tell me what to do," the brave patriot responded.
Comment: As reported above Romney's reception upon boarding the flight was less than cordial:
As Romney got on the plane, a chant of "traitor" broke out after a woman yelled for the passengers to let him know what they think. As it dissipated, people began grilling him about why he is betraying his voters.A RINO running true to form:
"We want to know your connection to Burisma and Joe Biden, Mitt Romney," a woman shouted. "You don't listen to your constituents!"
Romney has said that efforts to challenge the election results are an "egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some," and said that it "dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic."
"The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it," Romney claimed.
Is Mitt Romney a traitor?
Romney also said that the election being stolen is a "false rumor."
