Makes no sense to worry about the Chicom flu or any other scourge when thousands of illegals are allowed into America, many of whom have never worn a mask or have been tested. Why should I comply with any of this BS?! A f*you to politicians.

Covid has turned Canada into a totalitarian police state Frown


Arresting pastors who dare to have an OUTDOOR church service after they've locked and shut down their regular church building. Using helicopters to search out these "illegal" services and swooping in to arrest people.

For having church.

WTF Mad

Pastor Of Church That Held Worship Service Outdoors Following Shutdown Arrested By Police

Christianity Daily
Monday June 21, 2021

The pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has been arrested for the second time after his congregation conducted an outdoor worship session at an unknown site following the local government's decision to shut the church building.

Pastor Tim Stephens, according to Christian Post, was arrested Monday after refusing to follow by the Alberta Health Services order to cease from conducting worship services that do not meet the COVID-19 provincial regulations.

"He was arrested for hosting an illegal outdoor gathering that did not comply with current restrictions," police told CBC News.

As reported by Rebel News, the group gathered at an unknown location for services throughout the weekend. Notwithstanding, an armed police helicopter flew above the crowd as the service proceeded. Rebel News said that it's unclear if authorities were actively looking for them or just stumbled upon their meeting.

Minutes later, police cars were spotted surrounding the area, but they, at least, reportedly did not attempt to interrupt the service or make arrests.

However, according to the Calgary Herald, officers made the arrest at Pastor Stephen's residence on Monday afternoon.

His children can be seen on video footage of the arrest, which was taken by Rebel News, sobbing uncontrollably as their father is carried away.

Canadian reporter Adam Soos approached the police and questioned as to "why Jason Kenney gets a free pass and you're arresting pastors across the province." The police did not comment on that.

CP noted that the reporter's remark was made in response to Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's meal with cabinet members on June 1 that did not adhere to the province's public health regulations that were strictly imposed on churches.

A call for prayer from his wife

The arrest of Tim Stephens for conducting an outdoor service and his refusal to sign the bail condition that would keep him in police prison until his next court appearance on June 28 were announced on Twitter by Stephens' wife, Raquel, early Tuesday morning.

Along with the pastor's Monday tweet indicating that police are on their way to arrest him, Raquel added a section from the pastor's letter to his children after his arrest last month.

"The government has now seized both Fairview's building and her pastor," she wrote.

"AHS still wants Tim to tell people what to wear, where to stand,and to forbid some people from being the church," she noted, but she remained hopeful that her husband's imprisonment would strengthen their faith and embolden them to obey Christ regardless of the cost.

She also asked for prayers for her husband's immediate release.

Sean Feucht, the "Let Us Worship" leader, reacted to the unsettling footage of Pastor Tim's arrest by stating it that "shows how crazy communist Canada has become."

"The scariest part is how apathetic we've become to this sort of thing in 2021," he commented.

Lawyer's thoughts

Stephens is currently represented by Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.

"It appears that Premier Kenney's government is targeting its enemies, those who are speaking out against lockdown restrictions and for Charter freedoms," said Jay Cameron, the lawyer.

"Punishing dissent" and not "public safety," he claimed, was the driving force behind barring Fairview Baptist members from the church's services and arresting Pastor Tim Stephens.

Australia update

An intriguing article, from ABC News.

Dogs deployed in South Australia to sniff out coronavirus cases at Adelaide Airport

********

Key points:

- Six dogs are taking part in the latest phase of a trial
- A health expert says the dogs detect the scent produced by positive cases
- Health authorities say detector dogs could significantly boost frontline efforts

********

Sniffer dogs could join frontline efforts to combat the spread of coronavirus across Australia, if a trial involving passengers at Adelaide Airport proves successful.

A team of six labradors is taking part in the latest stage of a global research effort to see whether positive COVID-19 cases among incoming travellers can be detected by odour.

"These trials are still in early stages, but if they are successful, detector dogs could provide an important screening method to safeguard Australia against COVID-19," Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews said.

Ms Andrews said dogs could end up being deployed "across a range of environments such as at airports, stadiums and crowded locations to screen large amounts of people quickly, reducing the chance of the virus spreading at big events".

Phase three of the COVID-19 detector dog feasibility study follows a trial at Sydney International Terminal in March, and is "part of an international research alliance led out of France," SA Health Minister Stephen Wade said.

Results are expected later this year, and the trial is being run by Australian Border Force (ABF) in collaboration with organisations including the University of Adelaide's veterinary school.

"At the moment it's a voluntary process and the dogs don't interact with passengers," ABF Chief Superintendent Brett Liebich said.

Health lecturer Anne-Lise Chaber said dogs had proven "extremely accurate" at identifying the virus in controlled settings.

"The dog is not detecting the virus itself," Dr Chaber said.

"When you're infected by SARS-CoV-2 your body is producing a certain smell, and that's what the dog is detecting. It's detecting the scent.

"When they find a positive one they will do the conditioned response which is a sit and stare, as to indicate 'we found it'.

"The dogs are able to detect that someone is positive before they start shedding the virus.

"Accuracy was ranging from 96 to 98 per cent."

Dr Chaber said the method was intended to complement, rather than replace, other detection tools.

"For now we are working on samples so we take a sweat sample from both [armpits]," she said.

"It's only two minutes under your armpits and then we give that to the dog."

SA Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said detection dogs could add a significant layer of protection to Australia's frontline coronavirus control efforts.

"What this will mean if things go the way we hope and are planning, is that we will be able to detect very early on if people are infected," she said.

"We would be able to direct them into that quarantine facility and it's very important in terms of our infection control and protecting the whole of the South Australian community."



^^^^^^^^^^

Well, an intriguing article.
Note: as stated, this is a voluntary process for any passenger, no interaction, not enforcable.

Who's a good dog?

Peter Daszak is removed from COVID commission following bombshell conflict-of-interest report that exposed his ties to Wuhan Institute of Virology after he organized letter published in The Lancet medical journal denouncing lab leak claim

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...ommand-message-field

British scientist Peter Daszak has been removed from the COVID commission looking at the origins of the pandemic after significant questions were raised about his scientific impartiality.

Daszak, president of the New York-based EcoHealth Alliance, was one of 28 experts from around the world asked to analyze how best to respond to the pandemic.

The panel comprised leading global figures in public health, economics, philanthropy, diplomacy and politics.

On Monday, his profile was updated to include the note: 'recused from Commission work on the origins of the pandemic'.

Daszak's presence on a number of bodies investigating the origins of COVID has proved controversial because he has links to the Wuhan Institute and its chief researcher Dr Shi Zhengli - dubbed 'Batwoman'.

The conservation charity of which Daszak is the director, EcoHealth Alliance, has funneled money into the lab and research being done by Dr Zhengli.

The Ukrainian-born British zoologist was also an early voice denouncing 'lab leak' theories as 'conspiracies' in an open letter published in The Lancet last February - a reaction that has been likened to a cover-up.

They wrote at the time: 'We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.

'Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumors, and prejudice that jeopardize our global collaboration in the fight against this virus.'

Earlier this month one of the original authors of the controversial Lancet letter said he had changed his stance on whether the lab leak was possible.

Dr Peter Palese, a microbiologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, signed the letter in the Lancet in February last year claiming the virus could only have been natural in origin and to suggest otherwise would create 'fear, rumors, and prejudice'.

The 'bullying' letter, orchestrated by Daszak was criticized by experts for ostracizing anyone offering different opinions on the virus' origins, dismissing them as conspiracy theorists.

It is only now, nearly 16 months after that letter was published in the world-renowned medical journal, that the theory COVID was accidentally leaked from a lab in Wuhan is being looked at seriously.

President Joe Biden ordered intelligence agencies to launch a probe into whether COVID was man-made after all. But China immediately hit back and called the suggestion a 'conspiracy'.

Professor Palese, 77, made a significant U-turn, admitting all theories on how COVID came about now need proper investigating.

He told MailOnline: 'I believe a thorough investigation about the origin of the Covid-19 virus is needed.

'A lot of disturbing information has surfaced since the Lancet letter I signed, so I want to see answers covering all questions.'

Asked how he was originally approached to sign the letter and what new information had come to light specifically, Professor Palese declined to comment.

Professor Palese spoke out as America's leading pandemic expert Anthony Fauci continued to face fevered calls to resign after emails revealed that leading virus experts warned COVID could be man-made - even as he downplayed the possibility.

The emails also showed he communicated with Daszak.

Biden threw his support behind the embattled expert, saying: 'Yes I'm very confident in Dr Fauci.'

Another scientist who signed the letter, Dr Jeremy Farrar - director of the Wellcome Trust in London - declined to comment on the Fauci allegations but said it remains 'most likely' the virus came from an animal but 'there are other possibilities which cannot be completely ruled out and retaining an open mind is critical'.

Nevertheless, Daszak has remained staunch in his opinion that COVID originated in animals - most likely a bat - and then passed through an intermediary into people.

Daszak was part of a group of scientists who in late January traveled to the Wuhan lab on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO) to explore how the virus originated. The visit was documented by 60 Minutes.

The WHO report that he helped to author described animals as the 'most likely' source of the pandemic, and called for further investigation into it.

Suggestions that the virus leaked from any of the labs in Wuhan - including the Institute of Virology - were dismissed as 'extremely unlikely'.

Yet it later emerged that the WHO team was only given three hours in the lab and were not given access to all the documentation they needed - further darkening the cloud of suspicion about a 'whitewash'.

The most important issue unaddressed in this story....who will replace him? My bet, someone every bit as compromised and tied to this issue. One cockroach was squashed, but there a dozens more ready to take his place in covering this whole thing up.

Did you see this story on the KMOV website today?

https://www.kmov.com/news/miss...html?block_id=990844

How did we go from one of states with some of the lowest rates of infection a week or so ago (from your post then), to the highest? Is someone playing with numbers?

Even the NYT FINALLY, grudgingly admits something I’ve been saying all along:

Kids are rarely affected in any way by Covid, even these new “deadlier” “variants” and there was NO REASON EVER TO MASK THEM UP. For the record, I’ve never masked my two boys ages 4 and 6. It’s child abuse and I’ll have no part of that. Mad

“…This evidence suggests that serious versions of Covid will continue to be extremely rare in children…”

mRNA vaccines appear to be damaging red blood cells
By John M. Contino

Citing experts at the Meedan Digital Health Lab , Reuters Fact Check vigorously asserts that the spike proteins induced by the COVID vaccines do not kill or damage cells.

Perhaps so, but something from the vaccines is causing deformations and apparent inflammation in red blood cells, as evidenced by images from microscopy photos. Images of blood cells taken before and after the vaccines can be seen starting about two minutes into the five-minute video. Postvaccine red blood cells exhibit rough instead of smooth edges, irregular shapes, and grouping together over time which is described as the “beginning form of thrombosis,” or blood clots. More research is needed to determine exactly what is causing these cell deformations.

There are also numerous tiny white particles in the photographs which are presumed to be lipid nanoparticles (LNP). The delicate mRNA fragments from Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are encased in LNP, which serves to protect the mRNA from disintegrating before it can do its job in our bodies. Pfizer conducted a biodistribution study where they injected rats with bioluminescent RNA-encapsulated LNP, and found that the LNP had travelled not only beyond the injection site, but throughout the circulatory and immune systems, and had accumulated in virtually every organ in the body.

Meanwhile, Spain and Russia are reportedly advising citizens to avoid air travel if they have been vaccinated for COVID-19. It’s common knowledge that flying frequently, especially on long distance international flights, can cause blood clots, but talk about mixed signals! What’s next, nonvaccination passports? The takeaway here ought to be that whether or not someone gets vaccinated should be a personal decision, and that the practice of forcing people, especially students and younger adults, to get vaccinated, should be abandoned.

With Dong in their hands, let's hope they can come to some sort of conclusions soon. I have a feeling this situation will reach a climax sooner than later.
