1. Excellent tweet by Ezra Levant
Two facts about quarantines, invented centuries ago to stop the Plague:
1. They were 40 days ("quaranta giorni" in Italian) not 40 weeks.
2. Only the sick (or suspected sick) were quarantined. Not the healthy.
What we have now is not a quarantine. It's martial law.

When Deborah Tilli got the call last week telling her she’d be one of the first long-term-care workers in Hamilton vaccinated for COVID-19, she felt a mix of emotions.
A part of her was nervous, a part excited.
But what happened in the minutes after Tilli rolled up her sleeve for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Christmas Eve has her cautioning those with allergies ahead of getting the jab.
“I thought I was doing the right thing,” said Tilli, who is a personal support worker at Dundurn Place Care Centre, which is currently in outbreak with two cases in staff. “Especially for my residents at work.”
Tilli, 27, is one of the rare people to have had a severe reaction to the vaccine — and a week later she’s still not fully recovered.
Dr. Zainab Abdurrahman, a clinical immunologist and allergist, said severe reactions are “rare,” but they do happen.
“Some can be allergic, some may not be allergic, but can still be a severe reaction,” said Abdurrahman.

Indonesian police have unearthed dramatic videos of a terrorist training camp where members of an elite group learned how to kill.
The training videos were discovered on the laptop of a recently arrested terror suspect.
Scores of members of the resurgent Jemaah Islamiyah have recently been arrested, giving authorities new insights into the terrorist group which trained members who were then shipped off to fight in Syria.
A compilation video of the training, which was conducted in the period 2013-2018 and involved what has been described as a JI special force, has been released by Indonesian police.

LONDON (AP) — A British judge has rejected the United States’ request to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to face espionage charges, saying it would be “oppressive” because of his mental health.
The U.S. said it would appeal the decision. https://t.co/FJXajSd1MA

3/ “Simply look at the numbers,” Cooks continued. “Sixty million people were projected to die worldwide in 2020. We are already at the end of December and we can safely determine that this number is stable. No excess mortality — no matter what measures were taken.”

In the U.S., there are excess deaths. Prove me wrong.
No you are right, assaults are down, murder, suicides, overdoses are way up.
Common sense can be startling when fear rules. Thank you Andrew Bostom, for a finger in the dike.
Mr. Ezra Levant is absolutely correct! We are under martial law! What I am waiting for now are the Red Chinese troops on our streets……paired with our own police and military….and the door to door roundups! This is war!
