Understanding Europe’s Phony ‘Second Wave’

 

Indeed, something very strange is happening in Europe and the UK with regards to the much hyped “Second Wave” of the novel coronavirus ‘pandemic’ which governments and mainstream media have been saying is inevitable now for 6 months.

 

The so-called ‘experts’ all seem to be aloof and baffled by the paradox on display –a huge second wave of so-called cases’ (people who have tested PCR positive for coronavirus), but with only a few hospitalizations, and absolutely no increase in deaths.

 

So how then can we rightly call it a ‘pandemic’? How can governments justify even more draconian laws and regulations?

 

Sky News host Andrew Bolt speaks with Dr Soo Aleman, Associate Professor at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, to discuss the her research concerning T-cells and also rates of potential immunity among the general population.

Denmark Heads to Pre-COVID Normality: No Masks or Distancing in Schools, Just Common Sense

 

One of the more diabolical aspects of the protracted COVID ‘crisis’ in countries like the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, is the intellectually dishonest claim that Coronavirus in their countries is somehow different from the Coronavirus in other western countries.

 

It’s like there are two parallel universes now. While the Anglosphere continues to ramp-up its emergency ‘pandemic’ measures and mandatory mask and quarantine policies, their Scandinavian counterparts like Sweden, Norway or Denmark have already returned to life as normal; no masks on public transport, no obsessive social distancing rules, no snap lockdowns, and certainly no draconian laws and threats of £10,000 fines made by government leaders, or holding the country hostage until a wonder vaccine arrives in the spring. The contrast couldn’t be more extreme.

 

Why has normality not returned to the US and UK?

 

Perhaps the worst aspect of the new hypochondriac culture being aggressively promoted in the US and UK is how the state bureaucrats and schools are now targeting children and young adults with a relentless regime of restrictive and nonsensical health and safety policies. One of the main drivers of the school chaos in the UK has been the teachers/public service unions, who have seized on the crisis in order to leverage political power and carve out a platform in the national spotlight. Union officials repeated the fallacious claim that schools were no longer safe unless a whole new raft of new rules, regulations and government assurances were put into place. The list of issues and concerns keeps growing by the day and is now threatening to bring normal education to a grinding halt.

 

As a result of this over-the-top fear-based approach to risk mitigation, the lives of students and their families across the UK have been unnecessarily disrupted. In just the first few weeks of school, many thousands of students have already been removed from school and sent home and placed under under 14 day house arrest-quarantine order by school administrators – all because another student in school or a teacher had tested PCR positive for COVID.

 

Many schools are also ordering all primary, secondary and high school students to remain under house arrest at home over their half-term break, supposedly to “stop the spread of the virus.”

 

British authorities have even gone so as to demand that university students remain on campus over the Christmas break in order “stop the spread of COVID to their families back home.”

 

All of this is taking place at a time where hospitalisations and deaths due to COVID have dropped to near zero in the UK. In other words: the ‘pandemic’, if it ever was one, is now over.

Around 1,400 Virginia Voters Received Two Absentee Ballots In Mail, Officials Blame Printer Problems

 

Around 1,400 Virginia voters received two absentee ballots in the mail, according to multiple reports.

 

A problem with the printer resulted in employees accidentally sending out two ballots, Fairfax County election officials said according to the Washington Post.

 

Officials instructed people who received two ballots to destroy the second and noted that only one would be counted, Fox 5 DC reported.

 

A higher demand for absentee ballots amid COVID-19 concerns was also partially to blame, officials suggested according to the Post.

 

Despite the extra ballots being mailed, experts have confidence that widespread voter fraud is not an issue, Fox 5 DC reported. Still, the incident seems to have some worried about the process.

 

“This is what [Trump’s] concerned about and I am too and I wanted to bring it to your attention,” Jean Brennan, one of President Donald Trump’s supporters, told Fox 5 DC.

 

Trump has repeatedly raised concerns about mail-in voting, suggesting in June that it would lead to the “most corrupt election” in American history. He also spoke about the Republican Party’s lawsuits aimed at stopping the expansion of mail-in voting in June, saying that losing these lawsuits “puts the election at risk.”

Portland Mugshots: 30 Arrested Following Saturday’s Protests

 

Authorities arrested 30 people on Saturday night in Portland after a relatively calm day of protests, despite dueling demonstrations which Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said were “free from serious violence.”

 

Gov. Kate Brown (D) declared a state of emergency prior to the expected dueling protests in the city on Saturday. Police Chief Lovell praised the “unified efforts of Oregon State Police, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, and the Portland Police” in quelling the tensions and expressed hope that the peace would extend through the evening:

 

I’m pleased to say that through the unified efforts of Oregon State Police, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, and the Portland Police, events earlier today were free from serious violence. Thanks to those who demonstrated peacefully. May that continue throughout the evening.

 

— Chief Chuck Lovell (@ChiefCLovell) September 27, 2020

 

However, violent protests emerged after dark as demonstrators took to the streets, blocking an intersection near the Portland Police Bureau. Despite several warnings from authorities, many demonstrators refused to listen and threw projectiles at officers, including rocks, firecrackers, and ball bearings likely launched from slingshots.

 

Per the Multnomah Co. Sheriff’s Office:

 

At 10:29 p.m., officers stopped a vehicle associated with the demonstration in the area of SW 1st Avenue and SW Jefferson Street. A drone was seized from inside the vehicle.

 

Officers provided security during the traffic stop. As they began to disengage, many of the demonstrators moved back out into the lanes of travel. Officers again cleared the street. As they did this, officers were targeted by high velocity objects, believed to be ball bearings launched from slingshots. These projectiles had the potential to cause serious injury.

 

Authorities ultimately declared a riot shortly before midnight, but “few, if any, individuals followed the order,” the sheriff’s office said, adding that officers were “pelted with additional rocks and other dangerous objects” and “continued to make arrests.”

 

Thirty-people were arrested as a result. Across the board, charges include Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Assaulting a Public Safety Officer, and Resisting Arrest:

 

Grace Dietzschold, 18, whom journalist Andy Ngo described as a “green-haired Portland lesbian activist,” is facing charges of Attempted Assault of a Public Safety Officer, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree, Resisting Arrest, and Harassment. She was released without bail:

We Don't Need A Higher Minimum Wage; We Need To Fix Our Money

 

You’ve almost certainly heard about the “fight for $15” movement to increase the minimum wage. Well, some activists have upped the ante. How does “Fight for $20” strike you?

 

Here’s the problem, these people are trying to solve a legitimate problem with a really bad solution.

 

Last year, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for a $20 national minimum wage. And why not? If $15 is good, wouldn’t $20 be better? In fact, why not go for $30 an hour. Or $100? If you can just arbitrarily assign a number to wages without consequences, why not go really big?

 

This reveals the problem with progressive thinking on wages. They know at some level you can’t force wages to infinity. But they have no actual economic principle upon which to peg their policy. They just throw out arbitrary numbers based on political considerations and feelings. If Bernie is going to run on $15 an hour, Tlaib can one-up him by pushing for $20. Somebody else can come off as even more compassionate by demanding $25.

 

The problem with all of this political posturing is it eventually drives actual policy. We’re already seeing moves for a $20 an hour minimum wage. The Aurora County, Colorado, City Council recently shot down a plan to raise the city’s minimum wage to $20 by 2027. But it’s only a matter of time before someplace approves this nonsense.

 

And no matter how compassionate it may seem, these policies have horrible economic consequences. In the end, basic economics always wins.

 

There’s an even bigger problem underlying all this. We don’t have a wage problem. We have a money problem.

 

Minimum wage advocates seek to solve a legitimate problem facing American workers: their dollars buy less and less every year. But simply mandating employers fork over more dollars is a little like putting a band-aid on an amputation. It doesn’t do anything to address the underlying problem.

 

Our money is broken, and we need to fix it.

 

The US government’s monetary policy devalues our currency, and that means less purchasing power for you and me. Simply put, when the government debases the currency; a dollar no longer buys the same amount of stuff it once did. Quantitative easing devalues the currency and the Federal Reserve has engaged in the practice for years. And they have put it on hyperdrive in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

This is one of the many reasons to invest in gold. Download SchiffGold’s Free White Paper: Why Buy Gold Now?

 

So, what does this have to do with wages? Well, consider this: in 1964, the minimum wage stood at $1.25. To put it another way, a minimum wage worker earned five silver quarters for every hour worked. Today, you can’t even buy a cup of coffee with those five quarters.

 

But the silver melt-value of those five quarters today stands at over $20.

 

There’s your $20 per hour minimum wage.

 

This vividly illustrates currency debasement.

 

In terms of purchasing power, the value of the silver remains relatively stable, but the value of a dollar shrinks. The long-term rise in the price of silver reflects this reality. It’s the very reason people buy silver and buy gold.

Hierarchy in the Church of Satan

 

Anton LaVey formulated a system of degrees during the early years of the Church of Satan, as such was a general practice in many prior social and esoteric organizations. However, the criteria for elevation in our Church were based not on mysticism or occultism, but on knowledge of practical subjects beyond Satanism, and even more than that, on the application of such wisdom towards measurable ends. Dr. LaVey experimented by mandating the specific colors for medallions which could be worn by each member according to degree. And, for a time, written exams were given to assess a member’s readiness for a particular level.

 

In the mid 1970s, it became clear that many members had become obsessed with “jockeying for position”—being overly concerned with their place in the organization rather than working towards advancement in the world “outside.” This was contrary to our carnal philosophy’s emphasis on tangible personal progress and so, after that point, the existence of the degrees was de-emphasized in Church literature, and formulaic methods for recognition were jettisoned.

The First Degree denoting

Active Membership is only for members who seek more involvement with the organization and other local members.”

 

Today, we maintain our traditional degrees, but these should not be seen as “initiatory steps” which are expected of our members. The Church of Satan is not an initiatory organization. It is our position that, for those with awareness, by living fully you will have plenty of authentic initiatory experiences through the many avenues you explore, hence there is no need for such artificial posturing in our Church. In fact, no member is required to move beyond Registered Membership. The First Degree denoting Active Membership is only for members who seek more involvement with the organization and other local members. The remaining degrees (from the Second through the Fifth) are not open to application or to request. Our specific standards for them will not be publicly released. The administration watches the progress of qualified members, and may choose to grant recognition to outstanding individuals based on demonstrated excellence in the understanding and communication of Satanic Theory, coupled with significant potent practices in the arena of the real world which have produced superior achievements. People naturally and quite organically rise to particular levels, and we may take note at our discretion. This is meritocracy at work. So, if you are so inclined, keep us updated on your accomplishments so that your progress may be noted.

 

Registered Member (no degree)

Active Member—Satanist (First Degree)

Witch/Warlock (Second Degree)

Priestess/Priest (Third Degree)

Magistra/Magister (Fourth Degree)

Maga/Magus (Fifth Degree)

 

“Administrator,” “Agent,” and “Grotto Master” are descriptive titles for what people do, not levels of rank, thus they can can be held by members with different degrees. “High Priest”/“High Priestess” are the top administrative titles, and can be held only by Fourth or Fifth Degree members.

 

Those who hold the Third through Fifth degrees are all members of the Priesthood of Mendes and individuals with these titles may be called “Reverend.”

 

Unlike most other religions, our members are not subject to any form of expected obedience to the members who might have been given degrees—those are bestowed as tokens of appreciation for accomplishments, not a means for the establishment of rank and authority that commands submission.

Why New York City Is In Trouble: 114,041 Public Employees Earn Over $100,000

 

Mayor Bill de Blasio is aggressively pushing for a $12.4 billion federal bailout - because New York City faces an unprecedented $7 billion budget deficit over the next two years.

 

Last week, in a public relations stunt, the mayor announced a one-week unpaid furlough of himself and 494 employees within his office - a taxpayer savings of a paltry $860,000.

 

So, how did the city get so deep into trouble?

 

Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com dug into the skyrocketing city payroll. In 2016, there were 76,166 employees with pay exceeding $100,000. By 2019, there were more than 114,000 - a 50-percent increase in six-figure earners.

 

In 2019, plumber helpers earned $172,988; thermostat repairmen made up to $198,630; regular laborers hauled away $213,169; electricians lit up $253,132; and plumbers pocketed up to $286,245.

 

School janitors ($256,000) out-earned the principals ($154,000). Four deputy mayors made over $241,641 each and 5,998 city employees out-earned New York governor Andrew Cuomo ($178,000).

 

The city has 331,520 full-time equivalent employees – up from 297,349 in 2014.

 

However, 592,432 people pulled a paycheck at some point last year at a total cost of $29.5 billion. (This included base salary, overtime, and “other pay,” but not healthcare or pension benefits. Those perks add 30-percent.)

Office of the Mayor - $52 million payroll cost

 

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s base salary was $258,541 plus free rent at Gracie Mansion and regular police-escorted trips to the gym – even as he closed schools, restaurants, and gyms.

 

First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan made $278,980 and three deputy mayors earned between $241,641 and $246,124. Even de Blasio’s executive chef Feliberto Estevez cooked up $124,285.

 

First Lady Chirlane McCray, de Blasio’s wife, works within the Office of the Mayor as a volunteer. However, fourteen city employees aid McCray with salaries that cost taxpayers $2 million per year.

 

McCray’s aides included senior advisors, communications advisors, and a policy director along with a chief of staff, two deputy chiefs of staff, a press secretary, speechwriter, videographer, and others, according to news reports.

 

The head count of McCray’s payroll (14) exceeded U.S. First Lady Melania Trump’s staff (11). Michele Obama employed 24 staffers as First Lady.

 

(The mayor responded for all agencies – review the comment at the end of this column.)
