2. The following Tweet is the first one I have ever seen that won’t let me retweet it or any other action except comment. Could be at my end, but I don’t think so. UPDATE his account gets that sometimes and its not happening now.

3. This nurse was apparently fired for being a part of an anti-Covid measures protest while many other nurses and medical staff joined BLM protests and earned praise from the UK NHS

4. Meanwhile in South Africa, Click stores ordered closed for the week. Violence promised if people try and go to work

The News:

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on Monday (7 August), moved to close pharmaceutical retailer, Clicks stores across the country as part of a campaign against racially insensitive advert shown on the retailer’s website.

The advert included pictures of four women – two black and two white – and described the hair of the two black women as ‘dry and damaged; and ‘frizzy and dull’, while the images depicting the white women’s hair were described as ‘fine and flat hair’ and ‘normal hair’.

The EFF said that the advert undermined the dignity of black South Africans and suggested that the ‘hair of black people is damaged and inferior to that of white people’.

Clicks, apologised for the campaign, calling it a mistake. As of April 2020, group data showed that Clicks has 881 total retail stores across the country, employing 15,347 people.

6. Manchester Arena Inquiry: Hearings begin into terror attack

The man responsible for the Manchester Arena attack was seen with a large backpack and thought to be praying less than an hour before killing 22 people.

A public hearing into the 2017 terror attack will investigate whether there were “missed opportunities” to identify Salman Abedi as a suicide bomber.

The inquiry heard Abedi was reported as acting suspiciously to police and security before the blast.

Hundreds were injured in the bombing at the end of an Ariana Grande concert.

Inquiry proceedings began with Paul Greaney QC, counsel to the hearing at Manchester Magistrates’ Court, reading the names of the 22 people who died on 22 May 2017.

“What happened that night was the most devastating terrorist attack in the UK for many years,” he said.

“The inquiry will leave no stone unturned.”

7. Italian mayor threatens to fine people €2,000 for WEARING a face mask

In the midst of global COVID-19 pandemic, going out to public places without wearing a face mask is considered an offense in many countries and cities.

In mid-August, Italy made wearing of masks from 6pm until 6am mandatory in all spaces open to the public where maintaining social distance is impossible. Two weeks ago, police handed out the first penalty for breaches of the rule, fining a 29-year-old maskless man who argued that “COVID-19 doesn not exist.”

But the mayor of one Italian town says fines should be slapped on those wearing a mask in an “inappropriate” situation.

8. Two videos from the UK about the loss of rights and freedoms under new Covid regs

(If anyone wants to fact check these and leave thoughts and links to UK govt sites in the comments, that would be fantastic.)

(I believe the following video is an interpretation of the one above)

10. Chicago cops ask Google for details of ALL smartphones in a 100-yard radius of a crime scene – but judges say police cannot use geofencing data to ‘rummage where they please’

US police have alarmed civil rights activists by asking Google for the details of every smartphone within a 100-yard radius of a crime scene. 

The so-called geofencing technology can ‘cast a virtual net’ around an area and identify all the devices within it, via a massive Google database called Sensorvault.

Cops say it has helped them identify suspects in murders, shootings and burglaries, but critics say it violates the privacy of innocent people who happen to be nearby.

Three requests for geofencing data in Chicago were recently denied by Illinois judges who said prosecutors cannot ‘rummage where they please in order to see what turns up’. 

Google says it only complies with requests if there is a search warrant, but will hand over the data if one is granted.  

n the Chicago case, the government sought a search warrant to find a suspect accused of stealing prescription drugs.

    • That idiot contradicts himself as fast as he can talk.

      Not allowing a drawing of mohammad is the opposite of what he said. It is in fact making mohammad on par with God. but so does the Koran many times.

      • It is remarkable how the “we are just like you” works so easily on mono-brains.

        But then, call any man or woman “Rabbi,” and they will have people sucking up to them like inter-faith Church Ministers.

        For these Useful Idiots, it’s then all a shock when they are forced to pay the Jizya, submit or die. Belatedly realizing muslims cannot have friends who are Christians and Jews. The sins of these Reverts who would not revert and admit Moses was a muslim.

        Peel back Christianity from the layers of Roman Paganism and we can all start on the road to repentance, facing the truth about ourselves and be set free. While others carry on claiming to wear a new name, a new identity and live-forever with a get-out-jail-free card.

        Peel back islam, and we have a pervert, pirate and murderer.

        Peel back Judaism, and we have the first man in his tribe who stopped the killings of first-born sons. Big day, and better things to come with voices in the wilderness, (as it had alway been and always will), to make straight their paths. Until, that is, it all became in a book. The Book. The End.

        While life continues to evolve and knowledge of reality becomes greater.

        • call any man or woman “Rabbi”
          Nah, I’ll stick with calling ordained men “Rabbi”.
          Male and female created He them, and behold, it was VERY good. Takes two to tango, they dance in pairs, not solo or lock-step.

          • “Nah, I’ll stick with calling ordained men “Rabbi”.”

            Well, this is the point, Yucki: There are no degrees in g_d. Teachers only have book-memorized knowledge with rituals. From ultra conservative to idiocy evangelical.

            Who knew healing the sick in the House of Israel was the cure to everyone’s problem in their Houses too.

            You are your own religion lest it turn into a cult, then a sect, and then onto the world stage as a totalitarian ideology governing everything you do, and it is still not enough – requiring obedience and Faith. Managed by the Rabbis.

  1. 5/ Goes straight to my Sikh friends, and to IExit (Indian-American: walkaway movt.)
    – They tend to be libertarian, unless it’s got some connection to India. Kamala seems to be strongly repellent.

  2. In recent point 8, the fellow who’s worried about the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 is almost completely wrong. In some respects what he says is the opposite of the truth. It’s very regrettable. I hope you’ll post a correction.

    I spent some time going through the act, looking especially for changes. Only then did I find this page, which is accurate in every respect: “The Control of Diseases Act was not changed in April to say you can be forcibly vaccinated” (https://fullfact.org/online/control-of-diseases-act-coronavirus/)

    It does seem to me that there are some problems with the 1984 act. For example, it contains the time bomb by means of which the Secretary of State for Health and ermine the credibility of those of us who object to and seek to fight against these wicked and damaging coronavirus regulations. But it’s nothing like that fellow says, and includes some important protections including making it clear that no one can be forcibly vaccinated. Yet.

    The act is readily available online, here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/22

    One thing does interest me, something that I didn’t know yesterday: The only substantive change made this year to the 1984 act is to make it possible temporarily for local authorities to cremate the remains of a person whom they have good reason to believe would have objected to his remains being cremated. That seems odd unless they really did believe (in late March) that bodies would be piling up in hospitals. It reminds me of an interview you did with Brad Johnson in the spring, in which he said that air quality monitoring in Taiwan (?) Japan (?) (both?) indicated a large increase in cremations on the Chinese mainland. (Nothing like that that never came to pass in England. English hospitals have been dead quiet all through the “epidemic”.)

    • Thank you Simon.

      • “8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(J) and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(K) 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(L)”

        You cannot instruct the truth. You can only reveal it. And even then, they won’t see it unless they were looking.

          Likewise, be prepared that the inversion and enslavement of love, truth and nature, will copy the normal and expel it.

    • Gremlins!

      I meant to say that the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, one Matt Hancock, is doing his worst under the auspices of this 1984 act, which is a Bad Thing.

      Also that the videos embedded here, which are almost wholly mistaken, undermine the credibility of those who stand against Mr Hancock’s dangerous nonsense.

    • Cremation? All I saw was this:
      An authority shall NOT cause a body to be cremated under subsection (1) or (2) above where they have reason to believe that cremation would be contrary to the wishes of the deceased. [Emphasis added.]
      ……..
      That’s a red line for certain religions. Jews will take it to the courts, Muslims will go berserk in the streets.
