12-Year-Old Suspended over Toy Gun Seen During Virtual Class


A 12-year-old Colorado Springs seventh grader was suspended after he allegedly lifted a toy gun into view while moving it from one place to another during his virtual class.

KDVR reports that the boy, Isaiah Elliot, was in virtual class August 27, 2020, for Grand Mountain school when an art teacher saw the gun “flash” across the screen.

The teacher told the school principal about seeing the gun, and the principal, in turn, suspended Isaiah and called the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

Newsweek reports that Isaiah was suspended for five days over the incident.

The sheriff’s report on the incident indicates the art teacher “assumed it was a toy gun but was not certain.” The gun appears to have been an airsoft toy gun with black grips, which is used to shoot rubber BBs. The gun had a green slide that said, “Zombie Hunter”.

KDVR reported Isaiah’s mom, Dani, claimed the school did not notify her that the sheriff had been called until deputies were already on their way to the family’s home.

Dani said, “For them to go as extreme as suspending him for five days, sending the police out, having the police threaten to press charges against him because they want to compare the virtual environment to the actual in-school environment is insane.”

Isaiah’s father, Curtis, said that the sheriff showed him a replay of video showing Isaiah and the toy gun. Curtis indicated the video showed Isaiah “sitting at home on his sofa when he momentarily picks up the toy gun on the right side of where he’s sitting and moves it to his left side, not realizing that in the process his teacher and fellow students saw him move the gun across the computer screen.”

Curtis said, “[The toy gun] just flashed across the school computer screen for maybe one or two seconds at the most.”

Twitter Slaps Warning on Trump Tweets, Doesn’t Disclose Partnership with Groups Pushing Mail-in Ballots


Twitter slapped warning labels on several of President Trump’s tweets on Thursday after the tweets encouraged voters who submitted ballots by mail to visit their polling stations on Election Day in order to verify their vote had been counted. Twitter deemed the messages a violation of its policy against advocating illegal election activity.  

Preventing users from reading the posts without first viewing a warning that the tweet “violated the Twitter rules about civic and election integrity,” the social media behemoth conveniently neglected to disclose its partnership with two groups financed by leftist donors deeply involved in voter participation efforts, including drives pushing mail-in balloting.

In light of concerns that use of mail-in voting without voter identification would allow for rampant fraud, Trump’s tweets encouraged voters who submitted ballots by mail to verify their vote had indeed been counted.

In a thread of tweets, the president suggested signing and mailing in ballots as early as possible, and then suggested going to the polls to verify the mail-in vote had been counted. “VOTE,” he wrote, adding that it “is a citizen’s right to do”:

Based on the massive number of Unsolicited & Solicited Ballots that will be sent to potential Voters for the upcoming 2020 Election, & in order for you to MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS & IS COUNTED, SIGN & MAIL IN your Ballot as EARLY as possible. On Election Day, or Early Voting,..

Writing in the second and last tweets on the issue, Trump continued: 

…..go to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail In Vote has been Tabulated (Counted). If it has you will not be able to Vote & the Mail In System worked properly. If it has not been Counted, VOTE (which is a citizen’s right to do). If your Mail In Ballot arrives....

….after you Vote, which it should not, that Ballot will not be used or counted in that your vote has already been cast & tabulated. YOU ARE NOW ASSURED THAT YOUR PRECIOUS VOTE HAS BEEN COUNTED, it hasn’t been “lost, thrown out, or in any way destroyed”. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Twitter blocked the visibility of the last two tweets, stating:

We placed a public interest notice on two Tweets in this thread for violating our Civic Integrity Policy, specifically for encouraging people to potentially vote twice.

The laws regarding the invalidation of mail-in ballots when individuals choose to vote in person are complex, and vary significantly by state. Our goal is to prevent people from sharing advice about voting twice, which may be illegal.

To protect people on Twitter, we err on the side of limiting the circulation of Tweets which advise people to take actions which could be illegal in the context of voting or result in the invalidation of their votes.

Per our policies, this Tweet will remain on the service given its relevance to ongoing public conversation. Engagements with the Tweet will be limited. People will be able to Quote Tweet, but not Like, Reply, or Retweet it.

Twitter neglected to disclose that it is a “Premier Partner” of Vote Early Day, an election advocacy group that educates voters about their option to cast ballots prior to Election Day, including via vote-by-mail, as Breitbart News previously reported.

Analysts have posited that proposals such as vote-by-mail help the Democrat Party, as left-wing operatives have adopted means such as paying homeless voters, taking advantage of the elderly, posing as registered voters, and printing counterfeit ballots.

With mail-in voting making authentication more difficult, fears abound over the prospect of large-scale voter fraud, especially due to past mishaps

Referring to mail-in voting without checks and balances or the requirement of providing identification as “a national ballot harvesting,” Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) recently explained how “the Democrats are trying to use the postal service as a way to steal the upcoming election.”

“Ballots will be sent out to people who have been deceased for years and years,” Hice said. “That is an ingredient for absolute disaster and fraud in every way.”

Vote Early Day’s homepage promotes mail-in balloting, telling potential voters that “more states are adopting additional Vote Early options, such as vote-by-mail, and we are expecting these changes to increase voter turnout. We want everyone to know their options.”

The organization even suggests voters “throw a party or parade” so “friends can come together to fill-in their mail-in ballots.”

The website states:

Through parties at the polls and community parades to early voting sites, organizations across the country will inspire more Americans to vote early. Even in states without in-person early voting, friends can come together to fill-in their mail-in ballots.

The group’s mission statement includes mail-in options [emphasis added]:

When Americans vote early, they ensure that last minute problems will not prevent them from casting their ballots – and help shorten voting lines on Election Day for everyone. But voting early rules – both for in-person and by-mail options – vary widely all over the country, causing confusion and preventing voters from casting their ballots. We’re here to make voting early easier. Given our current conditions with COVID-19, having multiple options to safely cast your ballot is critical.

Vote Early Day openly states it is supported by one organization: “Vote Early Day is a holiday for all Americans supported by a project at New Venture Fund.”

The New Venture Fund (NVF) is, in turn, managed under an administrative agreement with the shadowy, massively funded Arabella Advisors strategy company which pushes the interests of wealthy leftist donors.

Arabella specializes in sponsoring countless dark money pop-up organizations advocating progressive policies and designed to look like grassroots activist groups, as exposed in a recent extensive report by conservative watchdog Capital Research Center.

Billionaire activist George Soros’s Open Society documents that it provided financing to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, one of four nonprofits run by Arabella Advisors, another being the NVF. Arabella nonprofits also evidence close financial workings with initiatives for the Democracy Alliance, another network of highly influential donors, including Soros.

Other listed media companies that are “Premier Partners” of Vote Early Day are BuzzFeed, MTV, Univision, and USA Today.

More “Premier Partners” include leftist groups such as the League of Women Voters, the Democracy Fund, Alliance for Youth Organizing, and Rise.

Becoming a “Premier Partner” for Vote Early Day, as Twitter did, requires activism on the part of each partner organization, including a commitment to the following (below are all direct quotes): 

  • Agree to include their name or logo in public materials (e.g. press release and website);
  • Share their Vote Early Day activation plans with the Steering Committee in advance;
  • Report back successes and feedback;
  • Commit to a flagship on-the-ground activation, mobilize a national network of at least 50 partners, or reach 1 million people through digital or platform integrations

Vote Early Day is not Twitter’s sole involvement in election advocacy. 

The social media giant, along with Google and Facebook, is also a 2020 partner for the National Voter Registration Day, which claims it “wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote.”

The National Voter Registration Day also pushes mail-in ballots, saying it seeks to educate citizens to “request mail-in ballots, learn about early voting options, and more.”

Amid the coronavirus pandemic, National Voter Registration Day says it is working on “incorporating supplemental resources and messaging in our toolkits, posters, and trainings about how to vote by mail.”

The National Voter Registration is sponsored by the Democracy Fund, a charitable foundation created by eBay founder and liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar.

Omidyar’s self-styled “philanthropic investment firm,” the Omidyar Network, is also a funder of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, which has partnered with Facebook to draft principals in an initiative to help determine whether a certain news story is “disputed.”

The Omidyar Network has partnered with the Open Society on projects, and it has given grants to third parties using the Soros-funded Tides Foundation as a “fiscal sponsor.” Tides is one of the largest donors to left-wing causes in the U.S.

Breitbart News extensively reported a slew of other progressive groups tied to Soros money who have been working overtime to push mail-in voting.

This is not the first time Twitter has labeled Trump’s tweets concerning mail-in ballots while failing to disclose its partnership with two groups financed by leftist donors that are engaged in a massive voter participation effort, including drives pushing mail-in balloting.

Breitbart News previously reported in late May that Twitter, for the first time, put a fact-check label on tweets from Trump, using the controversial tactic to label messages in which the president claimed there is “no way” that “mail-in ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent.”

Internal Universal Films Memo Reveals Social Justice Agenda That Will Drive Content

Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) sent a memo to employees on Friday announcing the members of an “inclusion committee” that will shape the makeup and culture of the company, as well as the content it produces, according to a copy of the memo obtained by The Daily Wire.

UFEG is a subsidiary of NBCUniversal and includes the animation studio DreamWorks, the film studio Universal Pictures, as well as several other influential entertainment shops. The memo, which was sent to UFEG staff, as well as to the employees of its affiliates, outlined its push to “increase diversity, equity and inclusion” company-wide.

UFEG studios are major players in the movie industry. Though it was not owned by NBCUniversal at the time, DreamWorks put out “How to Train Your Dragon” in 2010 and the succession of hits in the “Shrek” series. Since it was bought by NBCUniversal in 2016, the animation studio has created “The Boss Baby,” released in 2017, and “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” in 2019.

The memo said the company will focus on five “pillars” of their agenda of diversity and inclusion: workforce strategies and practices, culture and belonging, creative partners and storytelling, business partners and practices, and social transformation. The company says that it will begin making business and partnering decisions based off its goals of diversity and inclusion as well.

One of the company’s aims is to “create strategies and leverage existing NBCU resources to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion are implemented in how core business is conducted, including vendors, consultants and business partners,” the memo says.

Read the entire memo below:

Dear Colleagues,

Last month, Donna announced the formation of an Inclusion Committee that will take an active role in enhancing and implementing strategies to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in both the Studio’s creative endeavors and within our workforce culture, in collaboration and partnership with all UFEG employees. The guiding principle of the committee is to empower voices to tell stories that reflect our global marketplace and the diverse audiences we serve, as well as proactively develop a just and inclusive workforce culture where individuals of all backgrounds can thrive.

The committee will focus on five key pillars:

Workforce Strategies and Practices

Hiring, recruitment, retention and development efforts – feeding the talent pipeline.

Culture and Belonging

Develop strategies to embed diversity, equity and inclusion values, practices and goals into our core business in conjunction with senior management accountability.

Creative Partners and Storytelling

Develop strategies to increase inclusion and representation in storytelling, filmmakers and talent (behind and on camera).

Business Partners and Practices

Create strategies and leverage existing NBCU resources to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion are implemented in how core business is conducted, including vendors, consultants and business partners.

Social Transformation

With a community focus on social equity and justice, engage UFEG employees in internal and external outreach efforts, participation with existing company-wide resources including Employees Resource Groups (ERGs) and Comcast NBCUnites sponsorship commitments.

We are very excited to announce the committee members who represent various areas across UFEG and will serve as thought leaders to bring about sustainable change for their respective pillar. These members are in addition to the hundreds of employees who have signed up to be a part of the Universal Voices community, as well as numerous sub-committees that will be established to help support our priorities, and our business led initiatives sponsored by our various senior leaders. Everyone has the opportunity to be a part of this journey, regardless of where you sit within the organization. And together, we will work to amplify and support our work in embracing diversity across the business and support racial equity.

We look forward to frequently sharing updates with you on our progress. In the meantime, if you would like to join Universal Voices and be a part of a community that helps us with these efforts to mobilize, provide ideas and feedback and take action, please email universal.inclusioncommittee@nbcuni.com.

YouTube Removing Videos By Well-Liked Chemist And Pseudoscience-Debunker ‘Thunderf00t’

YouTube Removing Videos By Well-Liked Chemist And Pseudoscience-Debunker ‘Thunderf00t’

Tyler Durden

Fri, 09/04/2020 – 18:45

The name "Thunderf00t" is the alias of Phil Mason, a British chemist and video blogger who has become well-known for posting YouTube videos that criticize, among other things, pseudoscience. We have written about him here, specifically, for debunking several of Elon Musk’s worst ideas (i.e. Musk’s rocket roadster and his Boring Company tunnel idea). 

His day job is as a scientist in the field of chemistry and biochemistry at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. His tongue in cheek, yet starkly accurate criticisms, have earned him over 950,000 subscribers on YouTube and an aggregate total of more than 220 million views.

And now, YouTube appears to have had enough of him.

Mason has once again taken to the platform and posted a video on Thursday of this week explaining that several of his videos exploring and debunking various theories about the coronavirus had been taken down off the site. 

"So, YouTube has deleted another one of my videos – just, zoom – gone!" Mason starts out by saying. He says the videos are being pulled down without YouTube issuing him strikes.

Mason said that YouTube has pulled down 3 videos in two months for "debunking coronavirus conspiracy theories".

"Even in this last one, they took it down for ‘spreading disinformation about the coronavirus’," he says about a video that he put up criticizing Dr. Rashid A. Buttar, an osteopathic physician from Charlotte. 

"Just so we’re clear, Dr. Rashid Buttar is an absolute fruit loop," Thunderf00t says, detailing Buttar’s suggestions on how to cure cancer and his  theories about the Beirut explosion was caused by a missile. "They’ve been storing ammonium nitrate for 10 years, just so they could blow it up now?" he asks.

"Meanwhile the doctor makes these claims in a gazillion videos," Mason says, "and his videos are still up". 

Mason explains his other videos have been taken down for debunking "idiots who don’t know anything about science". 

"What are you boys on?" he asks YouTube.

Regardless of your thoughts on whether or not Mason is on the right side of the arguments he is making, one can’t ignore what appears to be a growing, asymmetric, strong arm of censorship that continues to protrude from the country’s top tech titans.

Heading into the election, we have already seen Twitter censor the President, Facebook mull the ideas of pulling down news articles and now, once again, YouTube selecting which global experts are allowed to have a say in matters of current events.

Orwell would be proud

Facebook Removes ‘Patriot Prayer’ Pages Days After Member Killed By “100% Antifa” Gunman

Facebook Removes ‘Patriot Prayer’ Pages Days After Member Killed By "100% Antifa" Gunman

Tyler Durden

Fri, 09/04/2020 – 19:05

As Mark Zuckerberg continues to cave to the ‘woke mob’ driving the corporate advertiser boycott of his business, Facebook has reportedly removed several pages related to the "Patriot Prayer" group, a conservative group that has been routinely identified as "white supremacist" by left-wing reporters with an agenda.

Described by RT as "a mainstay at pro-gun rallies and street protests", the group received attention from the national media last weekend when a rumored member was shot and killed by a man who described himself as "100% Antifa" in an interview. The shooter, Michael Forest Reinoehl, was himself shot and killed by police after confessing to the shooting in an interview with – who else? – Vice News.

A Facebook spokesman told Reuters the company pulled the pages as part of “ongoing efforts to remove Violent Social Militias from our platform." That’s presumably a reference to street brawls between members of the group and armed left-wing groups.

Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson tweeted about the victim, addressing him by the name "Jay", and claiming to have known him through the group. Gibson’s own personal page was also caught up in the ban.

He raged at Facebook for the timing of the ban: "Antifa groups murdered my friend while he was walking home, and instead of the multibillion dollar company banning Portland antifa pages they ban Patriot Prayer and myself,” Gibson said in a statement on Friday. “People can sign up at PatriotPrayerUSA.com for future events."

Facebook updated its policies last month, promising to ban any groups who "pose significant risks to public safety, including offline anarchist groups that support violent acts amidst protests, US-based militia organizations and QAnon."

While Facebook says it removed over 980 groups, 520 pages and 160 ads from the platform under the new guidelines, including “some who may identify as Antifa,” conservative critics argue the bans skew in one direction and largely target those right-of-center, despite the platform’s claims of impartiality.

The shooting in Portland hasn’t gotten nearly as much media attention as a shooting allegedly perpetrated by 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who had ‘blue lives matter’ posts on his social media pages – prompting the media to label him a white supremacist as well.

Zuckerberg has been doing everything he can to appease the growing crowd of pundits blaming him for single-handedly destroying American democracy by hoodwinking the American people into electing Trump. All of this, of course, was orchestrated by the grand puppetmaster himself, Vladimir Putin. Earlier this week, he announced a ban on "new" political ads during the final week before the election, a completely technical and, as far as we can tell, uunremarkable, change that serves only to stand as evidence that the company "did something" to take on this imaginary threat.

President Trump Shreds Reporters For Asking Biden Softball Questions During Delaware Event, “Those Questions Were Meant For a Child” (VIDEO)

President Trump on Friday lambasted liberal reporters for treating Joe Biden with kid gloves on Friday.

77-year-old Joe Biden emerged from his basement Friday and shuffled over to a campaign event in Wilmington, Delaware.

The so-called ‘reporters’ or as we here at TGP like to call them ‘stenographers’ asked Joe Biden a series of softball questions.

The first question to Joe Biden came from Atlantic writer Isaac Dovere who asked Biden to respond to the junk hit piece on Trump (from 2018) written by…. The Atlantic.

Another reporter asked Biden: “There are people out there who are supporting you or are inclined to not vote for the president who would be inclined to say why isn’t Joe Biden angrier about all of this?”

President Trump called out the liberal reporters for treating Biden like a child.

“Those questions were meant for a child,” Trump said.

Wow! Joe Biden Tells His Staff to Call on Reporters Because He Doesn’t Have “His List With Him” (VIDEO)

This is just stunning.
It is clear by now that the few Joe Biden public events are carefully crafted and planned so that Sleepy Joe does not forget what state he’s in.

But even the micromanaging is not helping old Joe.

On Friday Joe had a particularly awful day.
** Biden read off “end of quote” from his scripted speech.

** Biden botched the dramatic lines as so-called reporters asked him softball questions during his campaign stop.

And then the staff forgot to give Joe their scripted media list!

During the questions Joe asked his staff to call on reporters because he doesn’t “have his list.”

Conservative Clergy of Color Take on Nike: Cut Ties with Violent BLM and Slave Labor in China


Hundreds of members of Conservative Clergy of Color are calling out “the hypocrisy of Nike, Apple, and other major companies who have agreed to support the violent Black Lives Matter movement, all while continuing to profit from slave labor in China.”

Founders Bishop Aubrey Shines, Rev. Marlin Reid, Rev. Derek McCoy, and Pastor Francisco Vega spoke to reporters at a virtual press conference on Thursday to share the letter they delivered to Nike CEO John Donahoe, expressing the dangers to the American Democracy the corporation is participating in by “fanning the flames of unrest.”

John Donahoe Letter by Breitbart News on Scribd

“You have been happy to play into the hands of anarchists at home and ignore slavery abroad,” the letter said, referring to Black Lives Matter. “As leaders in the church, we can abide neither.”

“We demand that you immediately sever all business ties with China and acknowledge the suffering of the Uighur people,” the letter said. “We demand you end your support to the violent Black Lives Matter movement and any affiliated causes.”

“We feel like it is morally inconsistent for Nike to say that they want to eradicate racism here in the U.S. and yet overseas you have slave worker factories still in existence,” McCoy told reporters.

“We’re asking Mr. Donahue to be responsible enough to realize every time his organization gives millions of dollars into a Marxist organization, the very thing that you say you’re supporting you are not supporting, because you’re helping feed a narrative that’s keeping America divided,” Shines said at the press conference.

The letter also spoke to the violent riots associated with the Black Lives Matter political organization that are taking place across America:

We the leaders of Conservative Clergy of Color have watched with sadness and frustration as the country we love has been torn apart by violence and looting. This civil terror, perpetrated and lead by the Black Lives Matter movement, has turned American against American and possibly set race relations back decades.

Black Lives Matter, a movement run by anti-Christian, self-proclaimed Marxists, hijacked legitimate calls for police reform and turned it to their own ends. This is not a group interested in constructive change; through their vicious campaign to defund police and silence anyone who disagrees with them, they have destroyed livelihoods and gotten innocent children killed. It is antithetical to the nonviolence that Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement stood for.

You and your company have helped fan the flames of this unrest by caving to support Black Lives Matter and promising financial support to their allies. You have given Black Lives Matter a platform, and as such, have contributed to the chaos that is tearing apart every major city in our country.

When asked by Breitbart News about the Black Lives Matter claim that America is “systemically racist,” Shines said, “It is,” but added why he believes that is the case.

“It has come … primarily, from one political party,” Shines said. “It’s the party that fought against the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment.”

“It’s the same party that gave us Jim Crow laws,” Shines said. “It’s the same party that gave us the KKK.”

“It’s the same party, actually, that continues even to this day to separate Americans based on their ethnicity and/or their gender. And that is the Democratic Party,” Shines said.

And now, the clergy said, Black Lives Matter and its supporters are threatening to take away Americans freedoms again.

“Cancel culture is the issue,” Reid told reporters. “Cancel culture and the eradication of our civil right of freedom of speech and freedom of expression.”

“And groups like Black Lives Matter use and wield cancel culture — and corporations are complacent,” Reid said. [Americans] are ostracized and publicly put on notice if they don’t agree with Black Lives Matter.”

“That’s not American,” Reid said. “We’re talking about absolute suppression of what has made America great in the first place.”

“Every time a company like Nike gives validity to a group like Black Lives Matter by funding it in the millions and millions of dollars, it creates a false media narrative that this group personifies the heartbeat of America,” Shines said. “It does not.”

“We will fight tooth and nail to maintain that America is still the greatest place on this earth to live,” he said.

And all of the participants at the press conference agreed that, as Christians, all lives matter.

“We support the term Black Lives Matter,” Vega said. “As Christians that was settled on Calvary 2,000 years ago — that God values black, white, and every ethnicity in between — that their lives matter.”

Facebook Purges Patriot Prayer After Member Killed by Antifa


Facebook has blacklisted the conservative group “Patriot Prayer,” as well as the group’s leader, Joey Gibson. The move by Facebook arrives in the wake of a Patriot Prayer member being murdered in Portland by an Antifa rioter. Facebook told a media outlet the purge is part of its “ongoing efforts to remove Violent Social Militias from our platform.”

Facebook suspended Joey Gibson’s personal account, and his Portland-based group, Patriot Prayer, as well as the personal pages of multiple group members, according to a report by the Oregonian.

The accounts were banned from Facebook on Friday morning, less than one week after Patriot Prayer member Aaron “Jay” Danielson was fatally shot by self-professed Portland Antifa member Michael Forest Reinoehl.

After Danielson’s murder, Reinoehl was given a platform by Vice News via an interview in which the self-proclaimed Antifa member appeared to admit to shooting Danielson, stating that he “had no choice.”

“I hate to say it, but I see a civil war right around the corner,” said Reinoehl in the interview. Reinoehl had previously described himself in a social media post as “100% ANTIFA.”

Reinoehl was later killed by law enforcement on Thursday night after an arrest warrant had been issued by the Portland police. A subsequent claim reported by the Associated Press states that Reinoehl pulled a gun on the officers.

Gibson said that Facebook has not provided him with an explanation as to why the accounts have been removed from the platform. Patriot Prayer’s Instagram account has also been deactivated.

Facebook spokesperson Jen Ridings told the Oregonian that the social media platform removed the accounts as part of its “ongoing efforts to remove Violent Social Militias from our platform.”

The report added that Gibson is questioning why Antifa-linked Facebook accounts are still allowed to exist on the platform given Reinoehl’s self-proclaimed affiliation with the movement.

Gibson’s attorney, Angus Lee, said that Facebook’s decision to ban the accounts are a “very serious demonstration of the unchecked power of electronic oligarchs to control information,” reports the Oregonian.

“Obviously, Mr. Gibson is very upset right now and feels as though there is an effort to silence him,” added Lee.

Last month, conservative commentator and BLEXIT founder Candace Owens announced that she will sue Facebook over its “blatant censorship,” stating, “the censorship issue is real and we haven’t done enough to fight it as conservatives.”

NEW WORLD ORDER: Australia Begins Arresting Citizens Posting Non-Approved COVID Talking Points – Ohio Passes Order to Create Corona Shelters – Dr. Fauci Claims Sky Is Falling


A pregnant Australian woman was arrested this week for posting unapproved corona talking points on her Facebook page.

The left and globalists have no problem with this.

As COVID begins to fizzle out, Dr. Fauci yesterday inserted fears in the markets by claiming that the number of COVID cases is “unacceptably high”:

In Ohio on Monday the state’s governor Mike Dewine passed an order that creates FEMA camps to isolate COVID contaminated people:

This is in spite of the fact that the US decided to shut down the US economy for 15 days to slow the spread of the China coronavirus 173 days ago:

This also is in spite of the fact that COVID is basically fizzling out:

Maybe it just doesn’t matter, maybe we’ll soon be like Australia this week where individuals are arrested for posting about a lockdown protest where he encourages people not to attend:

We are close to if not already living the world where everything is officially upside down and your rights no longer matter.
