lifesitenews--2020-12-05--China is trying to blackmail US legislators: Director of National Intelligence

WASHINGTON , D.C. , December 5 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — John Ratcliffe , the Director of National Intelligence , warned in a CBS News interview on Thursday that China is trying “ through blackmail , bribery , overt and covert operations ” to influence legislators to pass “ only laws that are favorable to China.
” “ I was so troubled by what I saw from the position as the Director of National Intelligence that I went and briefed both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on this information , which they found surprising and troubling , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he wrote for The Wall Street Journal , also on Thursday .
“ If I could communicate one thing to the American people from this unique vantage point ” as Director of National Intelligence , Ratcliffe wrote , “ it is that the People ’ s Republic of China poses the greatest threat to America today , and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom world-wide since World War II.
” “ I briefed the House and Senate Intelligence committees that China is targeting members of Congress with six times the frequency of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran , ” he explained .
Beyond that allegation , however , he focused his piece on China “ [ robbing ] U.S. companies of their intellectual property , [ replicating ] the technology , and then [ replacing ] the U.S. firms in the global marketplace.
” Ratcliffe , who was nominated by President Donald J. Trump to his position only this summer , mentioned several examples of successful Chinese attempts to steal “ research-and-development secrets.

” The new entity was called SinoHawk Holdings .
According to The Wall Street Journal , the founder and chairman of CEFC China Energy “ had a background in military intelligence , was in the midst of a rapid , well-funded global expansion that often made investments that dovetailed with the priorities of China ’ s president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ program to build infrastructure.

In his CBS news interview, Ratcliffe said China has threatened the American way of life, for instance regarding the coronavirus, which “is a result of the actions of the Chinese Communist Party.”
“They’re just beginning,” he warned. “It’s going to get worse. They want to set the rules in the world marketplace under authoritarian regimes that don’t respect liberty, that don’t respect privacy, where the government comes first, and individual liberties are sacrificed.”

lifesitenews--2020-12-05--European Commission recommends online ‘services,’ ‘banning of communal singing’ for Christmas

December 5 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The European Commission published a “ communication ” on December 2 , calling all the member states of the European Union to work together on COVID-19 restrictions in view of the upcoming holiday season .
Under the title “ Staying safe from COVID-19 during winter , ” it depicts a dire situation where – according to the document – “ every 17 seconds , a person dies in the EU due to COVID-19.
” Fear having thus been instilled , the communication suggests a number of measures to be taken all over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ ceremonies ” and a ban on “ communal singing.
” The word “ Christmas ” is drearily absent from the European Commission ’ s communication , but the mention of “ ceremonies ” unambiguously points to the feast of the Birth of Our Lord .
Despite massive , mainly Islamic immigration , the majority of citizens living in the formerly Christian nations of Europe share at least a basic Catholic or Christian culture .
“ Ceremonies ” during the “ holiday season ” – a euphemism used to avoid religious terms in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mention of Europe ’ s Christian roots in its Charter – can hardly mean anything else than Holy Mass , and specially Midnight Mass , or the Protestant services that take place to celebrate Christmas .
This is how the unsigned document speaks about these religious gatherings : “ In case of ceremonies , consider avoiding large services or using online , TV or radio broadcasts , allocating specific spots for close families ( ‘ household bubbles ’ ) to sit together , and banning of communal singing .
The use of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of gatherings.
” Yes , you read that correctly .
For the whole of the European Union , even in places where a dramatic fall of “ cases ” – that is , positive tests , mostly on people who have few or no symptoms of the associated COVID-19 – of the Wuhan coronavirus is currently taking place , and hospitalizations and deaths are subsequently also diminishing , the European executive is suggesting that Catholic and other churches should ideally shut out the faithful from their celebrations and force them to join virtual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fact , no worship at all ; at most , an aid for private devotion when personal assistance at a service is impossible .
For Catholics , such interference from the secular authorities who presume to dictate how and when they should practice their faith is even more obnoxious .
Holy Mass actualizes the Sacrifice of Jesus-Christ on the Cross , for the redemption of many , and allows them to assist at the Eucharistic miracle , by which Our Lord is truly present .
Receiving Communion can only be done in person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that of the Incarnation , the body can not and should not be set in “ remote ” mode , and separated from reality by screens and internet , apart from serious reasons such as verified and actual contagiousness , as every responsible person is capable of working out independently .
Body and soul belong together ; they are one .
In a way , COVID restrictions are de-unifying the human person , once again tearing asunder what God made one .
And did not Christ say : “ For where two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there am I in the midst of them ” ?
This also marks the importance of personal , physical presence in Christian worship .
You also read correctly that a handful of technocrats in Brussels – the seat of the European Commission – has in substance told the whole of the European Union that “ communal singing ” is not good , and even dangerous and capable of sending people to their graves .
The ban it suggests is not for people who are coughing and sneezing , but for all : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the most joyful and natural expressions of public worship , that has been with us since the beginnings of Christianity and beyond , and in fact throughout the religious history of mankind .
Singing together bonds communities ( and also armies , and revolutionaries , and sailors , and children , and mothers with their newborns , and monks , and nuns… ) : “ To sing is to pray twice , ” says the quote attributed to Saint Augustine , probably derived from these words from his Commentary on Psalm 73 : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only praiseth , but only praiseth with gladness : he that singeth praise , not only singeth , but also loveth him of whom he singeth .
In praise , there is the speaking forth of one confessing ; in singing , the affection of one loving.
” And the European Commission is telling us not to sing ?
Putting a damper on what is left of European piety and faith and love of the traditional Christmas carols that are so varied and so touching ?
It should be said that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take the joy and truth out of Christmas , is exerting the power of an unelected executive body that is not famous for using its functions in favor of the common good .
Fortunately , in this case , the binding force of a mere “ communication ” addressed to the European Parliament and the Council is inexistent .
On the flip side , so many absurd and even dangerous rules have been imposed on the public in the EU in the name of fighting COVID-19 , often copied from one country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may well prove to be very real .
Further examination of the European Commission ’ s recommendations in view of “ Staying safe from COVID-19 during winter ” reveals their perfect alignment on a narrative that has been smoothly imposed in many European countries and beyond in the name of fear , to the detriment of the economy with millions at risk of losing their livelihood , and of health and psychological well-being as fear and lack of timely treatment for other illnesses are affecting an increasing proportion of the population .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 restrictions reintroduced since October are starting to reduce the transmission of the virus , ” says the document .
In France , at least , this is not true : contaminations and new cases of effective illness were already on a downward trend according to used water analyses when the second lockdown was implemented on October 28 , and deaths followed suit , spiking ten days later .
Interestingly , the document notes “ the buy-in of citizens and communities is critical to the success of any action.
” COVID-19 measures are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to take “ pandemic fatigue ” into account , says the Brussels Commission : “ People are tired of taking the necessary precautionary actions , including physical distancing , reduced social interactions and economic restrictions .
This makes essential restrictions more difficult to implement , and provides fertile ground for disinformation about the pandemic.
” It adds : “ Pandemic fatigue is an expected and natural response to a prolonged public health crisis on the scale of COVID-19 .
It is therefore important for Member States to address and recognise this problem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has developed guidance to support countries in developing multifactorial action plans to maintain and reinvigorate public support for protective behaviours.
” This World Health Organization document is a 28-page publication with advice for governments and health authorities how to go about obtaining acceptance and cooperation ( although compliance would be a better word ) with restrictions in the fight against a long drawn-out “ pandemic.
” Not unsurprisingly , the word “ liberty ” is absent from the documents and “ freedom ” appears only in the phrase : “ An ingrown urge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ restrictions continue for a long time , impose inconveniences in everyday life , or continuously change in ways people feel they have little control over.
” This , together with “ demotivation ” that appears “ when dire circumstances drag on , ” and “ humans have to adopt a different style of coping , ” is what leads to “ pandemic fatigue ” according to the WHO .
But the WHO is there to help governments overcome this fatigue .
It ’ s an interesting read for those who seek to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Returning to the European Commission ’ s document , it is also helpful to realize that it has , in its own words , “ used anonymized and aggregated mobile network operators ’ data to derive mobility insights and build tools to inform better targeted measures , in a Mobility Visualisation Platform , available to the Member States .
Mobility insights are also useful in monitoring the effectiveness of measures once imposed.
” This means that moving around with a smartphone amounts to offering political powers , even at EU level , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that are going against confinement or curfew rules .
After anonymous surveillance , can individual surveillance be far behind ?
China already has the know-how , with facial recognition combined with artificial intelligence .
In France , a new security law is proposing to allow drone surveillance : another way to severely curb public liberties and personal freedoms .
For Christmas , the European Union would like to see the definition of “ clear criteria for small social gatherings , small events , e.g .
maximum number of people allowed to ensure compliance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ masks , ” and the implementation of “ a maximum number of people per household gathering : ” in France , the “ strong recommendation ” is that Christmas dinners should be limited to six adults ( children are not counted ) .
One doctor went on record on television saying it would be best to cut the Christmas cake in two and make Grandpa and Grandma eat in the kitchen .
The Brussels Commission also thinks that “ if considered , any temporary loosening of rules on social gatherings and events should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to self-quarantine before and after for a number of days ( preferably at least seven ) .
” Speaking of France , the government has not gone to this length but it will introduce a 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. curfew as of December 15 ( excepting Christmas and New Year ’ s Eve ) which the Commission devoutly favors .
As a conclusion , the document stresses that “ All reporting Member States are actively looking into communication around COVID-19 vaccination , and many are preparing dedicated communication plans .
The Commission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support their communication efforts towards citizens on COVID-19 vaccines so that citizens can make informed decisions.
” Informed by the Member States ’ communication efforts , that is !

It should be said that the European Commission, in its inhuman regulations to take the joy and truth out of Christmas, is exerting the power of an unelected executive body that is not famous for using its functions in favor of the common good.
December 5, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The European Commission published a “communication” on December 2, calling all the member states of the European Union to work together on COVID-19 restrictions in view of the upcoming holiday season.

The word “Christmas” is drearily absent from the European Commission’s communication, but the mention of “ceremonies” unambiguously points to the feast of the Birth of Our Lord. Despite massive, mainly Islamic immigration, the majority of citizens living in the formerly Christian nations of Europe share at least a basic Catholic or Christian culture. “Ceremonies” during the “holiday season” – a euphemism used to avoid religious terms in the European Union that has formally rejected the mention of Europe’s Christian roots in its Charter – can hardly mean anything else than Holy Mass, and specially Midnight Mass, or the Protestant services that take place to celebrate Christmas.
This is how the unsigned document speaks about these religious gatherings: “In case of ceremonies, consider avoiding large services or using online, TV or radio broadcasts, allocating specific spots for close families (‘household bubbles’) to sit together, and banning of communal singing. The use of masks is particularly relevant during these types of gatherings.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Concerns over the health and safety of the human test subjects in Pfizer's European COVID vaccine study have caused two eminent doctors to launch a petition calling for an immediate halt to those studies. On December 1, 2020, Dr. Michael Yeadon, an ex chief of research at Pfizer and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a lung specialist and former department head of public health lodged an appeal to the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for approving drugs across the EU, asking them to suspend the ongoing Pfizer/BioNtech COVID vaccine study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42). LifeSite is joining Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg in their call for an immediate suspension of this study and we are encouraging people to co-sign their petition to the EMA which is to be found in the petition section on this page. Please SIGN and SHARE this important petition, and then please contact the EMA at the address listed below, in the 'For More Information' section. In their application to the EMA, Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg give the following reasons why the Pfizer study could pose dangers to the health and safety of the study participants: First, the doctors say that the study design must be improved as the highly inaccurate PCR test is currently being used to detect the presence of COVID in the study participants. This means that the efficacy of the vaccine is in doubt. The doctors recommend changing from the PCR test to Sanger sequencing.
Second, and more important, the doctors advocate animal testing of the vaccine to exclude the possibility of the risks to the life and health of human participants from known side-effects of other similar studies on corona viruses. These side-effects can include: an exaggerated immune response when the subject comes into contact with the "real world" virus; possible infertility of an "indefinite duration" for women; severe allergic responses to polyethylene glycol which is contained in the mRNA vaccine being tested by Pfizer; and, other latent, serious side effects which, because of the short duration of the study, may only become known well after the conclusion of the study. Because of these unacceptable risks to the life and health of the Pfizer/BioNtech COVID vaccine study participants, we are joining with Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg as co-signers of their petition to the European Medicine Agency, asking for an immediate halt to these studies. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING, today!

It adds: “Pandemic fatigue is an expected and natural response to a prolonged public health crisis on the scale of COVID-19. It is therefore important for Member States to address and recognise this problem.

This World Health Organization document is a 28-page publication with advice for governments and health authorities how to go about obtaining acceptance and cooperation (although compliance would be a better word) with restrictions in the fight against a long drawn-out “pandemic.” Not unsurprisingly, the word “liberty” is absent from the documents and “freedom” appears only in the phrase: “An ingrown urge for self-determination and freedom may grow as restrictions continue for a long time, impose inconveniences in everyday life, or continuously change in ways people feel they have little control over.” This, together with “demotivation” that appears “when dire circumstances drag on,” and “humans have to adopt a different style of coping,” is what leads to “pandemic fatigue” according to the WHO. But the WHO is there to help governments overcome this fatigue. It’s an interesting read for those who seek to “decrypt” present government actions and communication.
Returning to the European Commission’s document, it is also helpful to realize that it has, in its own words, “used anonymized and aggregated mobile network operators’ data to derive mobility insights and build tools to inform better targeted measures, in a Mobility Visualisation Platform, available to the Member States. Mobility insights are also useful in monitoring the effectiveness of measures once imposed.”
This means that moving around with a smartphone amounts to offering political powers, even at EU level, a tool to track movements and gatherings that are going against confinement or curfew rules. After anonymous surveillance, can individual surveillance be far behind? China already has the know-how, with facial recognition combined with artificial intelligence. In France, a new security law is proposing to allow drone surveillance: another way to severely curb public liberties and personal freedoms.
For Christmas, the European Union would like to see the definition of “clear criteria for small social gatherings, small events, e.g. maximum number of people allowed to ensure compliance with physical distancing rules and use of masks,” and the implementation of “a maximum number of people per household gathering:” in France, the “strong recommendation” is that Christmas dinners should be limited to six adults (children are not counted). One doctor went on record on television saying it would be best to cut the Christmas cake in two and make Grandpa and Grandma eat in the kitchen.
The Brussels Commission also thinks that “if considered, any temporary loosening of rules on social gatherings and events should be accompanied by strict requirements for people to self-quarantine before and after for a number of days (preferably at least seven).”
Speaking of France, the government has not gone to this length but it will introduce a 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. curfew as of December 15 (excepting Christmas and New Year’s Eve) which the Commission devoutly favors.
As a conclusion, the document stresses that “All reporting Member States are actively looking into communication around COVID-19 vaccination, and many are preparing dedicated communication plans. The Commission will work closely with Member States to support their communication efforts towards citizens on COVID-19 vaccines so that citizens can make informed decisions.”
Informed by the Member States’ communication efforts, that is!

lifesitenews--2020-12-05--Mainstream media cover up Dems breaking their own COVID restrictions

December 5 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Across the country , Democratic leaders were locking down their citizens and destroying their livelihoods with the coronavirus as the pretext .
If that wasn ’ t enough , they were flashing their tyrannical nature by subjecting their people to that treatment while they gallivanted around to expensive restaurants , traveled for Thanksgiving , and one even flew to Mexico for a wedding .
At the same time , their gremlins in the liberal media covered up their disgusting hypocrisy .
Two weeks ago , when those leaders and the media were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ California Governor Gavin Newsom ( D ) was caught red-handed as he and members of the state ’ s health groups wined and dined inside at an expensive restaurant without masks .
Before the pictures came out , those in attendance lied and claimed they were outside and socially distant .
For days , the broadcast networks ( ABC , CBS , and NBC ) refused to cover Newsom ’ s let-them-eat-cake-at-home moment .
Eventually , CBS This Morning got around to talking about it but the networks still wouldn ’ t talk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breaking their own edicts .
And the people had had enough of it .
As reported on Thursday by correspondent William La Jeunesse during the Fox News Channel ’ s Special Report , “ Around the U.S. , a backlash , not just against what many see as arbitrary rules , but a double standard.
” He played a soundbite of Danny Presti , a New York restaurant owner who was arrested for “ trespassing ” at his own establishment because he broke Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bring awareness to what ’ s going on to all businesses .
The idea is to get our livelihoods back .
We need to be able to provide for our families , ” he told the press .
Then there was the recent case of Austin Mayor Steve Alder ( D ) , who put out a video ( where he was literally looking down at the camera ) telling his residents to stay home and alone for Thanksgiving .
It was later discovered that Alder had filmed the video while in Mexico @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know that video from Austin Mayor Stephen Adler was recorded in Mexico , where he flew on a private jet with eight others , following a wedding with 20 guests , while the city discouraged gatherings of 10 on [ sic ] more , ” reported La Jeunesse .
Adding : “ Adler becomes the 12th Democratic official caught saying one thing while doing another , often in violation of rules they endorsed.
” Adler may have been the 12th , but the broadcast networks at large had neither covered nor condemned any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counted every time President Trump didn ’ t wear a mask , even after he got over COVID .
Cuomo and de Blasio were among those 12 .
The former tried to have his family travel across the country for Thanksgiving ( which he told the plebs they couldn ’ t do ) , and the latter was exercising in gyms when others weren ’ t allowed to .
The list of Democratic politicians breaking dining regulations was stacked .
The list included Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney , San Francisco Mayor London Breed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsom did ) , Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl ( she partook in outdoor dining shortly after banning the practice ) , and Denver Mayor Michael Handcock ( he traveled for Thanksgiving while telling others to stay home ) .
They were disgusting perpetrations of ‘ do as I say , not as I do … or I ’ ll arrest you.
’ And the media were defending it .
In fact , on Thursday , NBC Nightly News smeared those opposed to lockdowns as against saving lives .
“ And while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against them grow louder .
Authorities say they 're trying to save lives .
Like Leslie and Patricia McWaters , ” chided reporter Miguel Almaguer .
The transcript is below .
WILLIAM LA JEUNESSE : On New York ’ s Staten Island , police arrested Danny Presti for trespassing in his own bar and violating a state curfew .
DANNY PRESTI : We wanted to bring awareness to what ’ s going on to all businesses .
The idea is to get our livelihoods back .
We need to be able to provide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Around the U.S. , a backlash , not just against what many see as arbitrary rules , but a double standard .
MAYOR STEVE ADLER ( D-Austin , TX ) : We need to , you know , stay home if you can , do everything we can to try to keep the numbers down .
This is not the time to relax .
LA JEUNESSE : Now we know that video from Austin Mayor Stephen Adler was recorded in Mexico , where he flew on a private jet with eight others , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while the city discouraged gatherings of 10 on more .
Last night , he issued this mea culpa .
ADLER : I 'm sorry I took that trip .
It was a lapse in judgment .
LA JEUNESSE : Adler becomes the 12th Democratic official caught saying one thing while doing another , often in violation of rules they endorsed .

PETITION UPDATE (8/27/2020)
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE this petition, which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask orders within their borders.
Facebook has restored the share link for this petition, saying that the decision to block it was a 'mistake...'
Please share with your Facebook friends, but we should all take heed of this warning: when an organization or individuals have to beg, plead and cajole just to express objective truths, it may be time to start looking for other social networking platforms.
Facebook needs to treat its users with respect, no matter their political persuasion. Moreover, Facebook needs to treat objective reality and facts with more respect.
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/25/2020)
Facebook is actively censoring this petition, saying that some people find it 'abusive.'
How anyone could find alternate facts about oppressive mask mandates 'abusive' is incredible...that is, impossible to believe.
This is exactly the kind of censorship which Big Tech is getting a bad reputation for.
The fact that Facebook calls differing opinion and objective reality "abusive" says a lot about Facebook and their agenda to silence reason and logic, not just conservatives and Christians.
But, people are more intelligent than Facebook give them credit for.
And, the more this continues, the more reasonable people will look alternate platforms to share their thoughts and connect with their friends and family. The more that happens, the less revenue Facebook will generate.
All of us have a decision to make, and the time is coming where we might have to tell our Facebook friends that we are moving to another platform.
We are encouraging people to continue SIGNING this petition and SHARING it via other platforms such as Parler and Gab, and to share the link below with your family and friends on Whatsapp, Telegram, Threema and Signal.
Thank you!
________________________________________________________________________________________
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask mandates within their borders.
Public health policies should be based on science and logic, not on the type of political posturing and virtue-signaling which led Joe Biden to recently call for a national mask mandate.
And, public health policies certainly shouldn't lead to a situation where more people could become sick.
But, that is exactly what these mandatory mask mandates are doing.
Here are four inconvenient facts about masks:
1) Masks** are largely ineffective at stopping the transmission of viruses.
The vast majority of masks worn by the public are made from material which cannot filter-out viruses because virus particles are too small to catch or obstruct. Wearing cloth masks to stop a virus is like putting a bee in a bird cage to keep it from flying away.
Wearing a mask for long periods of time ensures that the wearer has a warm and moist receptacle around his or her mouth, on which viruses and bacteria can land and accumulate.
Thus, masks are actually likely to have little effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19 acting as a barrier, but could actually make things worse acting as a receptacle.
2) Mandates which call for masks to be worn outdoors are both absurd and oppressive.
3) There are clearly documented hazards of wearing masks for long periods of time.
4) And, since school is on everyone's mind...
Notwithstanding the above information on the ineffectiveness of most masks against viruses, we don't know if asymptomatic children can even transmit the virus.
But, it was a reported in an article in the July 21, 2020 Uk Times that: "There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the UK government's leading scientific advisers."
And, we also know that children are extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die from COVID infections. In any case, children cannot possibly be expected to wear a mask properly in a way that would cut transmission.
There are still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19, but we have grown in our understanding of this disease since the beginning of the crisis.
The knowledge we have gained should allow government and health authorities to make more nuanced policies than the current one-size-fits-all mask mandates.
Where are the legislative hearings in county commissions, and state, provincial or federal legislatures before these drastic actions are mandated? Where are the open and transparent debates among experts that provide our representatives with the necessary information to make good policy decisions?
The real pandemic is the panic and the resulting tyranny that is being caused by dictatorial governors, corporate media and the monopolistic Big Tech.
The truth is that COVID-19 is like a bad cold for most people; this is not ebola or the plague.
Of course, the very elderly and those with serious health conditions should take precautions or be quarantined, but the rest of society should begin the long process of returning to normality.
The frenzy to force everyone to wear a mask, at all times, has gone beyond all comprehension, and goes against science and logic.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse any mandatory mask order within the borders of their county, state, province, or country.
Thank you!

lifesitenews--2020-12-05--Billionaire Democrat Bloomberg spent at least $4M promoting abortion in 2020 election

December 5 , 2020 ( NewsBusters ) — Bloomberg News owner Michael Bloomberg spent millions trying to prop up pro-abortion candidates in the 2020 elections .
Open Secrets records show Bloomberg gave the Planned Parenthood Votes ( PPV ) super PAC at least $ 4 million in the 2020 electoral cycle .
The group , associated with Planned Parenthood , “ makes contributions to candidates who support abortion , ” according to Influence Watch .
The grand total PPV spent on the 2020 federal elections amounted to $ 10,092,809 .
This means that Bloomberg ’ s contribution accounted for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s entire spending on federal elections in 2020 .
Bloomberg has funneled millions to Planned Parenthood over the years .
Between 2014–2017 alone , the Bloomberg Family Foundation gave the abortion mill at least $ 13,962,000 .
LifeSiteNews referred to the liberal billionaire in November 2019 as “ one of the most radical pro-abortion politicians in American history.
” He apparently wanted to carry that status well into 2020 .
Bloomberg spending millions promoting this disgusting policy position aligns with former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s expected efforts to put his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser referred to Biden ’ s abortion plans as “ extreme.
” Specifically , Dannenfelser stated that a “ Biden-Harris administration could convert every post office and pharmacy into a virtual abortion center — a longtime goal of the abortion industry , which prioritizes profits over health and safety.
” She continued : “ The threat to unborn children and their mothers is staggering.
” Bloomberg ’ s millions were used to help make such leftist policies a reality .
Bloomberg ’ s spending to promote abortion is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was slated to spend to try to claim the swing state of Florida for Biden .
President Donald Trump would end up winning the state by a 51.2 percent to 47.9 percent margin .
This is in addition to the $ 60 million Bloomberg pledged in August in an attempt to expand the Democrats ’ majority in the House of Representatives , which also failed to materialize .
It ’ s also on top of the more than $ 1 billion he spent on his failed Democratic presidential campaign , the $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign to the Democratic National Committee and the $ 35 million pledge he made to fund the data consulting firm Hawkfish to help Democrats .
One thing is clear : Bloomberg ’ s multimillion-dollar spending on abortion advocacy this year indicates that he wanted to make sure that the slaughter of the unborn continues under a Biden presidency .

States are blocking pro-lifers from sharing the simple message “Choose Life” on their vehicles!
Please SIGN this joint petition between LifeSite and The Children First Foundation to make "Choose Life" license plates available in every state! Tell governors and state officials to allow this pro-life freedom of speech.
Advertising industry statistics show that, for the typical vehicle, a “Choose Life” plate and its simple, powerful message will be seen by other drivers 30,000 to 80,000 times a year.
And, across the U.S., “Choose Life” vehicle license plates (or tags) have raised more than $28 million for pro-life pregnancy centers, maternity homes, safe havens, and adoption centers, varying with each state.
The potential for expanding the “Choose Life” license plate program to new states and new members is incredible – but only if citizens are allowed to have the plates!
It is appalling that seventeen U.S. states do not allow their citizens the right to put “Choose Life” license plates on their vehicles.
The plates have been called pro-life “scare tactics” by Planned Parenthood and unlawful or hateful “private speech” by pro-abortion lawyers. The “Choose Life” message, however, is one of pure love that scares nobody except those who profit from death.
It is unacceptable that we are blocked from our God-given and Constitutional right to spread the message of love and life for vulnerable unborn and newborn children.
Your signature on this petition – no matter where you live – will help to get the “Choose Life” license plate program in states where it is not yet permitted!
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition to make a real difference in persuading these state governments and Departments of Motor Vehicles to “Choose Life.”
Consider, for example, our experience in New York, where Governor Andrew Cuomo is a nationally-recognized advocate of abortion and has been a relentless opponent of the pro-life movement.
Cuomo has blocked the approval of “Choose Life” license plates in NY, despite widespread support for these truly positive messages of love and life. A headline in the New York Post declared, “The DMV Acts Like We Live in Pyongyang.”
And, in nearby New Jersey and Connecticut, similar hurdles were faced.
But we took the fight to the government officials and even to federal court. And, with the help of petitions, we were able to get “Choose Life” license plates on the road in both states.
It is high time for us to convert EVERY state in America to choose life.
Your signature on this petition - no matter where you live - will help make that happen by placing “Choose Life” license plates on tens of thousands more cars.
For love, for life, for the babies, please SIGN and SHARE our worldwide petition to tell state officials and politicians to stop blocking approval of the “Choose Life” license plate!

OTTOWA , Ontario , December 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) –On Friday the Canadian pro-life organization , Campaign Life Coalition , rallied in front of the Canadian parliament to stop radical new anti-family legislation seeking to ban “ conversion therapy.
” Bill C-6 , which is being promoted by PM Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party , would punish treatment of children for gender dysphoria or homosexuality with up to five years in prison .
Parents seeking to treat their children and priests advertising spiritual counseling would be liable to imprisonment under the bill .
C-6 also would rewrite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it defines as “ conversion therapy ” alongside child pornography and obscenity .
Campaign Life Coalition , a top Canadian pro-life and pro-family organization , protested the legislation from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. , led by Campaign Life ’ s David Cooke .

December 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – YouTube has once again censored LifeSiteNews, this time for an episode of The Bishop Strickland Show in which Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas discussed why he will not be receiving an abortion-tainted coronavirus vaccine.

lifesitenews--2020-12-08--Ontario Medical Officer deems coronavirus vaccine mandatory for ‘facility of movement’

TORONTO , December 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The Chief Medical Officer of Ontario has stated that proof of COVID-19 vaccination could be mandatory in order to have freedom to move around as well as access to various buildings and facilities .
Dr. David Williams made the comments while addressing a question at a December 3 press conference on whether vaccines for COVID-19 would be made mandatory .
“ We can ’ t force someone to take a vaccine , ” Williams replied .
Yet despite ruling out a mandatory vaccine , Williams proceeded to explain that severe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did have receive a vaccine .
“ What we can do is to say sometimes for access or ease in getting into certain settings , if you don ’ t have vaccination then you ’ re not allowed into that setting without other protection and protective materials , ” he said .
Williams continued , “ So what may be mandatory is proof of immunization or vaccination with the proper product in order to have latitude and freedom to move around , and certain access into long-term care facilities , a hospital or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of personal protective equipment , etc.
” He also mentioned the proposed system in relation to schools : “ Same as the school attendance , it may be much like our other vaccines -- we haven ’ t gone there yet -- but we would make it mandatory for access in and sometimes being excluded if there ’ s a risk or hazard going on.
” Currently , under the Immunization of School Pupils Act 1990 , parents are required to ensure that children receive the necessary vaccinations , then “ prove they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suspension from school.
” One permitted exception to the mandatory vaccination of pupils is religious belief .
If a parent completes an “ immunization education session with a medical officer of health ” and then files a statement of conscience or religious belief , then the child is not subject to the vaccination program .
Williams closed his comments by repeating that vaccinations will be closely related to freedom of movement whilet not being absolutely mandatory .
“ So it ’ s more a facility of movement and around that , not that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take it against their will , ” he said .
Canada has procured up to 194 million vaccinations against the virus , and reportedly can obtain another 220 million .
Its projected supply means that it will have more doses of the vaccine “ per capita than any other nation.
” It is unclear precisely what Williams was referring to while mentioning a “ risk or hazard ” in his comments .
A Statista report shows Ontario to have had 3,772 deaths deemed to be connected to COVID-19 as of December 6 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ontario had 88,468 deaths in that year .
Of that number , more people died from unintentional injuries in 2009 than have so far died apparently from COVID-19 .
Research has shown that support for a mandatory vaccine is down compared with a few months earlier in the year .
Only 59 percent of Canadians would support the move , as opposed to 72 percent when polled in May .
The vast majority , 71 percent , said taking a vaccine that was approved so fast makes them nervous , with 69 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long-term effects of the vaccine .
Recently , Dr. Michael Yeadon , the former vice president of vaccine company Pfizer , who retired from the company “ with the most senior research position in this field , ” rejected the idea of a need for vaccines in relation to COVID-19 .
Yeadon stated , “ There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic .
I ’ ve never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines .

TORONTO, December 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The Chief Medical Officer of Ontario has stated that proof of COVID-19 vaccination could be mandatory in order to have freedom to move around as well as access to various buildings and facilities.
Dr. David Williams made the comments while addressing a question at a December 3 press conference on whether vaccines for COVID-19 would be made mandatory. “We can’t force someone to take a vaccine,” Williams replied.
Yet despite ruling out a mandatory vaccine, Williams proceeded to explain that severe restrictions would be placed on those who did have receive a vaccine.
“What we can do is to say sometimes for access or ease in getting into certain settings, if you don’t have vaccination then you’re not allowed into that setting without other protection and protective materials,” he said.
Williams continued, “So what may be mandatory is proof of immunization or vaccination with the proper product in order to have latitude and freedom to move around, and certain access into long-term care facilities, a hospital or different things, without wearing other types of personal protective equipment, etc.”
He also mentioned the proposed system in relation to schools: “Same as the school attendance, it may be much like our other vaccines — we haven’t gone there yet — but we would make it mandatory for access in and sometimes being excluded if there’s a risk or hazard going on.”
Currently, under the Immunization of School Pupils Act 1990, parents are required to ensure that children receive the necessary vaccinations, then “prove they’ve been vaccinated or face potential suspension from school.” One permitted exception to the mandatory vaccination of pupils is religious belief. If a parent completes an “immunization education session with a medical officer of health” and then files a statement of conscience or religious belief, then the child is not subject to the vaccination program.
Williams closed his comments by repeating that vaccinations will be closely related to freedom of movement whilet not being absolutely mandatory. “So it’s more a facility of movement and around that, not that someone is going to be forced to take it against their will,” he said.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Concerns over the health and safety of the human test subjects in Pfizer's European COVID vaccine study have caused two eminent doctors to launch a petition calling for an immediate halt to those studies. On December 1, 2020, Dr. Michael Yeadon, an ex chief of research at Pfizer and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a lung specialist and former department head of public health lodged an appeal to the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for approving drugs across the EU, asking them to suspend the ongoing Pfizer/BioNtech COVID vaccine study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42). LifeSite is joining Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg in their call for an immediate suspension of this study and we are encouraging people to co-sign their petition to the EMA which is to be found in the petition section on this page. Please SIGN and SHARE this important petition, and then please contact the EMA at the address listed below, in the 'For More Information' section. In their application to the EMA, Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg give the following reasons why the Pfizer study could pose dangers to the health and safety of the study participants: First, the doctors say that the study design must be improved as the highly inaccurate PCR test is currently being used to detect the presence of COVID in the study participants. This means that the efficacy of the vaccine is in doubt. The doctors recommend changing from the PCR test to Sanger sequencing.
Second, and more important, the doctors advocate animal testing of the vaccine to exclude the possibility of the risks to the life and health of human participants from known side-effects of other similar studies on corona viruses. These side-effects can include: an exaggerated immune response when the subject comes into contact with the "real world" virus; possible infertility of an "indefinite duration" for women; severe allergic responses to polyethylene glycol which is contained in the mRNA vaccine being tested by Pfizer; and, other latent, serious side effects which, because of the short duration of the study, may only become known well after the conclusion of the study. Because of these unacceptable risks to the life and health of the Pfizer/BioNtech COVID vaccine study participants, we are joining with Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg as co-signers of their petition to the European Medicine Agency, asking for an immediate halt to these studies. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING, today! And, after you have signed this petition, please send the sample email in the section below to the official European Medicine Agency email: [email protected] FOR MORE INFORMATION: Actual Petition Text (pdf): https://2020news.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Wodarg_Yeadon_EMA_Petition_Pfizer_Trial_FINAL_01DEC2020_EN_unsigned_with_Exhibits.pdf Sample Email: Subject: Please act on the petition of Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon and stay the Phase III clinical trial(s) of BNT162b Dear Sir or Madam, I am hereby co-signing the petition of Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon to support their urgent request to stay the Phase III clinical trial(s) of BNT162b (EudraCT Number 2020-002641-42) and other clinical trials.
