'It's not about whether Christmas will be okay… it's about actually getting to Christmas': Iceland boss warns CO2 shortage will hit food supplies 'within DAYS' - as fizzy drinks, cheese, meat, fruit and veg are at risk of running out

Two fertiliser plants that produce 60 per cent of UK CO2 have stopped running

The decision means the food industry in the UK is facing disaster within days

Industry bosses warned meat, cheese, fruit and vegetable supplies will be hit

The CO2 shortage will devastate supermarkets within days, with fizzy drinks, cheese, meat, fruit and veg all at risk of running out, the boss of Iceland has warned.

Britain is in the grip of an energy crisis with soaring wholesale gas prices - up 70 per cent since last month - leading to CF Fertilisers stopping production at two fertiliser plants.

These two foreign-owned plants produce 60 per cent of the UK's CO2 with the decision to stop production plunging the food industry into chaos.

CO2 is used to stun animals for slaughter, package meat and also in refrigeration systems. It is also used in fizzy drinks, beer, cheese, fruit and vegetables and crumpets, among other items.

Now, Iceland boss Richard Walker has warned: 'This is no longer about whether Christmas will be OK. This is more about keeping the wheels turning and the lights on so we can actually get to Christmas.'

Discussing the available CO2 supply, Nick Allen of the British Meat Processors Association told Sky News: 'My members are saying anything between five, 10 and 15 days supply.

'The animals have to stay on farm, they'll cause farmers on the farm huge animal welfare problems and British pork and British poultry will disappear off the shelves.

'We're two weeks away from seeing some real impacts on the shelves. On the poultry side we're hearing they're even tighter supplies so we might see poultry disappearing even sooner.'

Meanwhile, the chairman of the National Pig Association warned that if the situation facing the pork industry does not change, farmers will be forced to 'slaughter their own animals' due to a lack of space and feed.

“That’s a Lie!… We Want an Audit!” – Worthless North Carolina GOP Chairman BOOED and HECKLED at GOP Election Integrity Event

On Saturday North Carolina GOP Chairman Michael Whatley had the nerve to show his face and speak at an election integrity event.

Whatley is a GOP insider who told North Carolinians to disregard President Trump’s endorsement of Rep. Ted Budd for US Senate two days after Trump’s endorsement.

Whatley is also unconcerned over the accusations of voter fraud in the state and does not support a forensic audit.

Another imposter.

On Saturday Whatley was booed and heckled when he spoke briefly at an election integrity event.

Republican voters are tired of the worthless leadership in the party and in Congress.

From K.

On Saturday, September 18th, GOP Chairman Michael Whatley showed up and spoke briefly at an election integrity event. This was the second day following the detailed data presentation from Seth Keshel, who initially started working on the election integrity issues with General Flynn. They had had three events in North Carolina laying out the compelling trends data. While President Trump did win the state of North Carolina, most conservative Republicans are certain it was much higher than the official data shows. In fact, Seth Keshel’s data shows President Trump likely won by 250,000 more votes than officially recorded. Further, based on this data, most conservative Republicans also do not believe that Governor Roy Cooper was legitimately re-elected.

For these reasons, citizens are demanding a forensic audit like in Arizona. To date, efforts to launch an audit have been stymied by Republicans in the State Legislature as well as party officials. Chairman Whatley “road President Trump’s coattails” in order to gain re-election as the party chair and citizens are not happy the GOP wants to dismiss it and “move on to 2022.”

Therefore, when he showed up to speak and had the audacity to claim that “we” (meaning “they the party”) had done an excellent job in 2020 that “we” should be proud of that will carry us forward in 2022, the crowd began to loudly boo and essentially drove him off the stage. There had been three previous days of events clearly showing election issues in North Carolina that he wasn’t aware of? Shame on him if he didn’t have someone attending and taking notes.

Schumer Reveals Democrats Still Working to Include Amnesty In Reconciliation Bill After Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Effort

Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on Sunday ruled Democrats cannot include amnesty in their gargantuan reconciliation bill because it not a budget-related matter.

The Democrats are pushing their $3.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill through budget reconciliation to go around Republicans because it will only need a simple majority to pass.

Democrat lawmakers tried to sneak immigration reform in the infrastructure bill because they know it will never pass in a vote that requires at least 60 votes to pass.

The Senate Parliamentarian rejected the Democrats’ effort to give illegals a pathway to citizenship because it would lead to “other, life-changing federal, state and societal benefits.”

But the Democrats are not backing down.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) on Monday said he along with other senators are still working to include amnesty in the reconciliation bill by drafting “alternative proposals.”

“Last night’s ruling was extremely disappointing. It saddened me, it frustrated me, it angered me because so many lives are at stake. But, make no mistake, the fight continues,” Schumer said at a news conference on Puerto Rico recovery.

“Senate Democrats have prepared alternative proposals. We’ll be holding additional meetings with the parliamentarian in the coming days,” he added.

Police called to FIVE bomb threats just hours apart: Disposal squad shut down Edinburgh's famous Princes Street and Lincoln Castle due to explosion risk as three Spalding schools are evacuated

Three schools and a castle in Lincoln, as well as a famous street in Edinburgh were all evacuated today after bomb threats were made.

Pupils from Spalding High School, St John the Baptist Primary and Monkshouse Primary in Lincoln were evacuated after reports alleged that bombs were on the premises.

The schools were closed shortly before another two suspicious packages were reported at Lincoln Castle.

Shortly after 3.30pm Lincolnshire Live reported that a 'controlled explosion' was carried out by a military EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) team at the castle.

One eyewitness told the website that a black package was found against a wall in the castle grounds.

They said: 'It's a bit unusual. I have never heard anything like this happening at the castle before.

'To do controlled explosions, they must have been sufficiently concerned that it was something.'

Meanwhile, bomb disposal teams closed off part of Edinburgh's Princes Street - with Scotland's National Gallery forced to close.

Qld tourism boss says 90 per cent vax reopening target ‘unrealistic’

The possibility of keeping Queensland’s borders shut until it reaches a 90 per cent vaccination ratehas been met with backlash from the tourism sector.

Keeping Queensland’s borders shut until it reaches a 90 per cent vaccination rate will only extend the pain for the downtrodden holiday sector, the state’s peak tourism body says.

International and state border closures over the past 18 months have dried up the regular flow of visitors that support Queensland’s $10 billion tourism industry and Queensland Tourism Industry Council boss Daniel Gschwind says there is no need for an extra hurdle to be added.

“Look, we don‘t need another setback, that is for certain,” Mr Gschwind said on Tuesday morning.

“We have done a tough across Australia. In Queensland, we had the benefit of being able to move about most of the time across the state, and Queenslanders have been enjoying the great weather and some destinations… but ultimately, we have to open up.

“Many operators are hanging on by their fingernails.”

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has already rejected reports her government is eyeing a reopening target higher than the 80 per cent full vaccination figure agreed to by the national cabinet, saying it was too early to speculate.

A spokesman for the Premier on Monday denied an enhanced 90 per cent threshold had been endorsed, even though chief health officer Jeanette Young expressed publicly she would like to see that figure achieved.

Ms Palaszczuk has also noted that the Doherty Institute was reviewing its road map and the target could be higher.

Mr Gschwind on Tuesday morning said there was no doubt that a 90 per cent full vaccination rate was ideal, but not a realistic target for reopening.

“We all hope… it will be 90 per cent but I think the expectation of that happening is low and not many countries if any have reached it around the world,” he said.

Cairns Adventure Group director Roderic Rees said his business was currently holding on as best it could, given no reopening date had been set.

“It‘s so shocking. We need a road map. We need a date,” he said

“If we get into mid-December and people in Victoria and NSW start travelling overseas, and they can’t come into Queensland, that is an unacceptable result for the tourism industry. We just – we can’t survive if that happens and we need to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

More than 60 per cent of Queenslanders have received their first vaccination dose following the weekend’s Super-Pfizer push, while just over 41 per cent are fully vaxxed.

The state is reportedly on track to reach 70 per cent full vaccination of over 16s by mid-November, and 80 per cent by early December.

Sharyl Attkisson: Serious Questions About The Way Covid Deaths Have Been Counted

Posted By Tim Hains

On Date September 19, 2021

"Full Measure" host Sharyl Attkisson investigates how Covid-19 cases and deaths are being counted and finds some suspicious overcounting:

As hindsight comes into clearer focus, we're learning a lot about mistaken advice and policies amid the Covid-19 pandemic. One still murky and disputed area involves the death toll, now upwards of 640,000 in the U.S., according to CDC. Some insist the true count is much higher; others claim it's lower. Today, we begin with the startling results of our investigation that found in some documented cases, news that Covid was the cause of death was greatly exaggerated.

Grand County, Colorado, rural country a hundred miles outside of Denver.

Thanksgiving 2020, Lucais Reilly shoots his wife Kristin in the head, then turns the gun on himself, committing suicide. They have alcohol and drugs in their system and a history of domestic troubles.

Grand County coroner Brenda Bock explains how the small town tragedy is exposing serious questions about the way Covid deaths are counted.

Brenda Bock: I had a homicide-suicide the end of November, and the very next day it showed up on the state website as Covid deaths. And they were gunshot wounds. And I questioned that immediately because I had not even signed off the death certificates yet, and the state was already reporting them as Covid deaths.

Bock says somebody, somewhere had apparently run the couple’s names through a database showing they’d tested positive for Covid within 28 days of their death. Then recorded them as Covid deaths even though they died of gunshots.

Sharyl: If we look at the death certificates for the murder-suicide case, what will it say about Covid?

Bock: Nothing, absolutely nothing. I paid a forensic pathologist to do the autopsies on those two cases. And nowhere is COVID mentioned on those death certificates. Nowhere.

Bock: This is a copy of the death certificate, and nowhere does it say COVID. So we have a homicide, suicide, nothing to do with COVID.

Because there had been no Covid deaths within the geographic boundaries of Grand County in 2020, Bock was in a unique position to challenge the state’s accounting. In many cities and counties, the numbers are too big and the coroners would never know about discrepancies.

Within a week of the murder-suicide, two more Grand County deaths popped up on the state’s Covid count. Bock investigated and found out why she had no record of them.

LA County Health Officials Say Maskless Emmys Did Not Violate Mask Mandate Because “Exceptions Were Made” For Hollywood Actors

Covid mandates are only for the peasants and they’re actually admitting it.

Not one celebrity wore a face mask on Sunday evening at the 73rd Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

Maskless celebrities were hugging and kissing each other at the awards ceremony while the ‘hired help’ was forced to mask.

LA health officials said the celebrities didn’t violate the county’s mask mandate because there are special exceptions for Hollywood degenerates.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health told CNN reporter Oliver Darcy that the maskless Emmys were not in violation of the county’s mask mandate because “exceptions are made for film, television, and music productions” since “additional safety modifications” are made for such events.

And by “additional safety modifications” they mean the hired help and the servants were wearing masks so it’s all good, because science.

Fewer and fewer people are tuning in to watch a bunch of drug-addled narcissists give each other awards while forcing their slaves to wear masks.

Sunday night’s viewership was up slightly from last year’s abysmal 6.4 million viewers – but it was still a dumpster fire.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser mandates COVID-19 vaccination for adults who are regularly at schools, and for student-athletes ages 12 and up

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed an order mandating COVID-19 vaccination by Nov. 1 for all adults who are routinely present at schools and child care facilities, and there is no option to opt-out by submitting to COVID-19 testing.

The mandate applies to individuals working in person at public, public charter, private, and parochial schools, according to a news release. Teachers, bus drivers, and coaches are some of the various types of people who will face the requirement. It also pertains to people at child care centers regulated by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education.

The order also requires students ages 12 and older to get fully vaccinated in order to engage in extracurricular school-based sports.

"The Order further requires that, beginning November 1, 2021, students aged 12 and older must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to participate in school-based extracurricular athletics," the release states. "Student-athletes who will turn 12 between September 16, 2021 and November 1, 2021 must be fully vaccinated before December 13, 2021 to be eligible to practice or compete in school-based extracurricular athletics."

The news release notes that there will be medical and religious exemptions regarding the requirements.

Bowser is a Democrat who has served as the mayor of Washington, D.C., since 2015.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 64% of the total U.S. population ages 12 and older have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 while 74.7% of that demographic has had at least one dose.

Torba Fights Back Against German Censorship, Refuses To Block Access To Gab Or Implement Speech Regulations

"Why should we block an entire country from accessing Gab because their government is sending us fines we won’t pay and veiled legal threats that mean nothing to Gab as a US corporation?"

Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, has declared that he will neither restrict German IP addresses from his accessing his site, nor implement German censorship regulations, following a demand from the country’s government.

In a blog post, Torba, who has been running Gab since its inception in 2016, revealed that the free speech social network had received “a huge packet of documents with fines and legal threats” from German authorities, due to the fact that Gab has never enforced the country’s controversial Network Enforcement Act, known more commonly by the NetzDG acronym.

This act, which came into force in January 2018, gives the German government the power to issue massive fines and sanctions against social networks with a userbase of over 2 million that do not censor what it determines to be “harmful content,” with the focus reportedly meant to be on “fake news” and “misinformation.” These companies then also have to provide detailed reports twice a year, in German, about what they’re doing to enforce the act.

Torba noted that there were three options that Gab therefore had in dealing with the action from the German government. They could enforce the act, do nothing and “pick a fight” with the government, or block German IPs from accessing the site. While many supporters of Torba and Gab, and his legal team, suggested that the third option was the best, Torba said that it “doesn’t sit right” with him, announcing he will be taking a stand against “the entire nation state of Germany,” despite the fact that it would mean he would likely never to be able to leave the US again.

“Why should we block an entire country from accessing Gab because their government is sending us fines we won’t pay and veiled legal threats that mean nothing to Gab as a US corporation?” Torba queried. “The reality is the German government has zero authority or jurisdiction over how we operate Gab… We are Americans… [and] in America you play by our rules, we don’t play by yours,” he added, saying that he has “nothing but love for the German people and they too deserve the fundamental human right to speak freely on the internet.”

Despite the rejection of the enforcement of the NetzDG, Torba confirmed that he was willing to continue working with German police in dealing with “matters pertaining to serious crime,” and will ensure those forces receive “prompt assistance” from him and his team. What we will not do is restrict access to, or remove, content which is legal in the United States on or from servers in the United States,” he confirmed.
