Welsh Govt Bans Supermarkets Selling Toys Before Christmas
by Victoria Friedman 22 Dec 2020
''Welsh Assembly leader Mark Drakeford has targetted children’s Christmas presents by banning supermarkets from selling toys in his latest extreme lockdown.''
The Labour politician announced on December 19th, days before Christmas, that the Celtic country would enter a Level 4 lockdown from Sunday. So-called non-essential businesses were forced to close, with the left-wing government imposing stay-at-home orders for the following two weeks. The Welsh government had initially granted citizens five days of lockdown freedom over the festive period, reducing that to only Christmas Day.
With small and most non-essential retailers closed, many parents receiving their early Christmas pay would have found themselves unable to buy their children’s presents in supermarkets in recent days, under the edict of Drakeford, with WalesOnline reporting on Sunday of large retailers across the country blocking off toy aisles to shoppers.
The Welsh government decreed: “In large supermarkets, in most cases it will be clear that certain sections of the store must be cordoned off or emptied, and closed to the public.
“Where there are distinct parts of a store selling (for example) electrical goods, clothes, toys, games, or products for the garden, these should be closed to the public – and these products should not be sold.”
Prime Minister Johnson’s last-minute announcement gave rise to London’s train stations being overwhelmed with travellers. Health Secretary Matt Hancock had scolded Britons trying to leave the capital that evening, many desperately trying to reach family before mixing households became illegal, calling it “totally irresponsible”.
Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, he continued that Britons should simply do as they are told,

Not bad so far.
A large outdoor Christmas Caroling for tonight was stopped by local Grinch's. They intimidated the Christmas Tree Lot hosts.
If we don't fight and I mean FIGHT we will lose everything The times for words and digital warriors has passed. The warriors now will have to shed blood and themselves bleed to end this madness.
It is a tragic and perilous time we live. I wish it wasn't so.
Communist Agitprop Bites Back After Nigel Farage Criticises China for Killing Christmas
by Oliver JJ Lane 21 Dec 2020
''A senior representative of a Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece lashed out at Britain’s Mr Brexit, Nigel Farage, telling him to “wear a mask and stop talking shit” on Sunday.''
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (A Feckless Cunt) [My Edit] announced that for millions of Britons, Christmas would effectively be cancelled if they lived in the most populous region of the country at a press conference at the weekend. Many mourned yet another loss of freedom thanks to the government’s harsh reaction to the Chinese coronavirus, among them Brexit leader Nigel Farage, who slammed China for their role in the virus spiralling out of control.
Following up previous comments in which Mr Farage has directly blamed China’s early mismanagement of the Wuhan virus for the pandemic, he took to social media to remark simply: “Christmas cancelled. Thank you, China.”
The quip didn’t go unnoticed by the machinery of the Chinese Communist Party, however, with Chen Weihua of the state news outlet China Daily hitting back: “Nigel Farage is Trump’s puppet. A big joke in Europe…. wear a mask and stop talking shit.”

Those tears are from the onions I was just cutting.
Last Christmas was so innocent compared to now. We never saw this coming but the Alphaville song was like a foreshadowing of things to come.
I remember listing to the words well and thinking how things like that couldn't happen now.
How wrong I was
This one?

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition – The Legendary Army Chaplain Of Pearl Harbor
Jul 5, 2017 Nikola Budanovic, Guest Author
Desperate times call for desperate measures. When Pearl Harbor was hit in a surprise attack at dawn, in 1941, the scattered American forces were pinned down by the charging Japanese Zero planes. The legend says that during the attack one army chaplain was among the defenders who were returning small-arms and machine gun fire on the oncoming fighters.
In the heat of the battle, he was asked by the men to say a prayer for them, as they were afraid that those were the last moments of their lives. It is said that the chaplain lay down his Bible, manned one of the machine guns and shouted: “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition”. This gesture boosted the morale of the soldiers and they continued the defense of the harbor.
A song was written dedicated to the fighting chaplain, by Frank Loesser in 1942, where the priest was credited as “The Sky Pilot”. The song was originally published as a sheet music piece by Famous Music Corp. Sheet music meant that it wasn’t recorded but written with notes and lyrics, so it can be reproduced by anyone in large numbers.
The true story is a bit different from the legend. According to author Jack S. Mcdowell, the Sky Pilot was indeed a chaplain – Lieutenant Howell Forgy, but he wasn’t manning the machine gun.
The story was exaggerated as a patriotic inspirational song for American soldiers on the battlefields, but also for the people on the home front. The stories made their way to the press which falsely attributed the phrase to other chaplains and Forgy was left out of the event.
Howell Forgy was aboard the USS New Orleans at the time of the attack. The story was reconstructed from several sources, one of them being Forgy himself. The officer in charge of the ammunition line on the USS New Orleans reported that he originally heard the phrase during the attack.
When he heard it, he turned around and saw Chaplain Forgy walking towards him through the line of scared man, patting them on the back and saying the famous sentence: “Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition”. The officer reported that it had an effect on the man and on him also, for he felt comforted and prepared.

Amen
I posted this on Friday and emailed to to some friends. One of my friends passed this on and today I received some support.
We are the leaders that people are looking for. Start small and see what happens.
An idea came to me while having breakfast inside a restaurant in a closed lockdown state. The restaurateurs decided to violate the tyrannical orders of the commies and open their restaurant.
We need to form groups of Minutemen/Minutewomen who can come at a moments notice to protect our friends, neighbors and businesses in our area from the tyrannical authorities when they come to shut them down. We will be connected through social media, cell phones etc. Peaceful flash mobs to stop tyranny.
If two show up to shut down our neighbors, 20 show up to stop them. If the tyrants bring LEO's than we show up with 100 or more. This HAS to be peaceful, we have to make the LEO's choose sides. The tyrants have to know that 'We' the governed are removing our consent to their tyranny and the LEO's are free to choose sides, either Liberty or Tyranny.
There will be consequences no matter what choice all parties make, but the tyranny must end.
This was my reply:
Thanks Anon,
Greetings and Merry Christmas Anon and Anon,
We live in dangerous and perilous times. I am willing to make a stand no matter what the cost. Stand with me or at least provide me with aid and comfort.
Blessings,

[2]We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.–That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
