December 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Amid ongoing serious safety concerns regarding Pfizer ’ s new COVID-19 vaccine , and its lack of any real necessity , the pharmaceutical giant ’ s CEO Albert Bourla said Monday that he hasn ’ t received the vaccine yet because he doesn ’ t want to be perceived as cutting in line .

According to the New York Post , Bourla @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( CDC ) had prioritized front-line health workers along with nursing home residents and staff .
“ Given that there are very strict allocation rules that the CDC has voted [ on ] , we are very sensitive not to cut the queue and get vaccinated before , ” he said .

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said he won’t ‘cut line’ to take the vaccine
December 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Amid ongoing serious safety concerns regarding Pfizer’s new COVID-19 vaccine, and its lack of any real necessity, the pharmaceutical giant’s CEO Albert Bourla said Monday that he hasn’t received the vaccine yet because he doesn’t want to be perceived as cutting in line.
“I haven’t taken it yet and we are having an ethical committee dealing with the question of who is getting it,” Bourla told CNN.
According to the New York Post, Bourla explained that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had prioritized front-line health workers along with nursing home residents and staff.
“Given that there are very strict allocation rules that the CDC has voted [on], we are very sensitive not to cut the queue and get vaccinated before,” he said.
However, he did indicate that he was open to receiving the shots in the future in order to boost confidence for the product among the public.
“People will believe much more [in the safety of the vaccine] if the CEO gets vaccinated,” Bourla said.
Such gestures of confidence may become ever more necessary as recent studies have found such belief and trust in vaccines in general has been rapidly declining in recent months.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition People of goodwill can disagree about the safety, efficacy and religious implications of a new vaccine for the coronavirus. But, everyone should agree on this point: No government can force anyone who has reached legal adulthood to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. Equally, no government can vaccinate minors for the coronavirus against the will of their parents or guardians. Please SIGN this urgent petition which urges policymakers at every level of government to reject calls for mandatory coronavirus vaccination. Fear of a disease - which we know very little about, relative to other similar diseases - must not lead to knee-jerk reactions regarding public health, nor can it justify supporting the hidden agenda of governmental as well as non-governmental bodies that have apparent conflicts of interest in plans to restrict personal freedoms. The so-called "public health experts" have gotten it wrong many times during the current crisis. We should not, therefore, allow their opinions to rush decision-makers into policies regarding vaccination. And, while some people, like Bill Gates, may have a lot of money, his opinion and that of his NGO (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) - namely, that life will not return to normal till people are widely vaccinated - should not be permitted to influence policy decisions on a coronavirus vaccination program. Finally, we must also not allow the rush by pharmaceutical companies to produce a new coronavirus vaccine to, itself, become an imperative for vaccination. Unwitting citizens must not be used as guinea pigs for New World Order ideologues, or Big Pharma, in pursuit of a vaccine (and, profits) which may not even protect against future mutated strains of the coronavirus. And it goes without saying that the production of vaccines using aborted babies for cell replication is a total non-starter, as the technique is gravely immoral. However, if after sufficient study of the issue, a person who has reached the age of majority wishes to be vaccinated with a morally produced vaccine, along with his children, that is his business. But we cannot and will not permit the government to make that decision for us. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition, urging policymakers at all levels of government to reject mandatory coronavirus vaccination.

A couple of researchers have actually done a study of the effect this has had in the USA. From the abstract:
We estimate that these laws prevented only 57 car crash fatalities of children nationwide in 2017. Simultaneously, they led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births in the same year, and 145,000 fewer births since 1980, with 90% of this decline being since 2000.
That’s a pretty vivid result, but it is just one factor in the economic disincentives to have children today. It is difficult to find larger homes: many big old houses are divided into flats.

lifesitenews--2020-12-17--Multiple Canadian mall ‘cops’ takedown man for violating COVID rules

NEWMARKET , Ontario , December 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A Canadian man found himself at the receiving end of restrictive local COVID-19 rules after multiple “ mall cops ” slammed him to the floor for violating the mall ’ s ban on eating in its food court and breaking its mandatory mask rule .
The incident took place at the Upper Canada Mall located in Newmarket , Ontario , last week .
Pickering , Ontario resident Josh Walker was in the mall with his girlfriend and they were eating in the food court , with their masks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's rules .
The mall 's food was open for take-out only , as its COVID-19 rules ban eating in the food court .
The couple were approached by mall security and asked to leave , which they agreed to do .
According to a Toronto Sun report about the incident , a video of the event posted on YouTube shows Walker , who is reported to be a reservist with the Canadian Armed Forces ’ Queen ’ s Own Rifles , get into a scuffle with security guards before being fully escorted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have got the three f***ing stooges here , ” Walker can be heard saying laughingly while being escorted out of the mall by security guards , while wearing a mask .
In the video of the incident , immediately after his three stooges ’ comments to mall security , Walker can be heard saying “ don ’ t put your hands on me bro ” repeatedly , before a security guard says to him , “ You are under arrest for trespassing.
” According to Walker ’ s pregnant girlfriend Samantha-Lynn Johnson in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pushed to the ground by mall security guards .
At this point in the video , Walker drops his phone which Johnson then picks up .
She continued to record the incident , which shows the mall security guards forcibly tackling Walker to the ground while he appears to be resisting restraint .
“ Stop , what are you talking about we are leaving , ” Johnson can be heard saying to which a security guard replies , “ you ’ re not leaving.
” “ Yes we are , exits right straight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you , are you kidding me our exits right there , ” said Johnson in reply .
The video shows the mall security guards struggling to hold down Walker , while his girlfriend Johnson , shouts at them again saying that their exit is “ right there.
” A security guard can be heard saying , “ stop resisting man , ” while Walker can be heard saying “ get the **ck off me.
” Johnson can then be heard pleading with the mall security guards again telling them that they were leaving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to “ get back , ” to which she replies , “ Holy *hit I ’ m pregnant.
” According to the Toronto Sun report , Johnson said in a statement that she and Walker agreed to leave the mall after security guards asked them to and added that she questions as why Walker was targeted .
“ They threw him to the ground and smashed his face , ” said Johnson in the statement .
“ It was six white men against one black man .
This was a racial attack.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Walker was treated for “ minor injuries ” at a local hospital .
Adrienne Simic , a spokesperson for the Upper Canada Mall , said that the local public health authorities have “ requested we enforce strict adherence to wearing masks and our food retailers are only open for take-out orders.
” Simic said that mall security approached a total of two groups who were eating in the food court , against mall rules .
“ One guest acquiesced when advised that food can not be consumed in the centre due to government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The other guests refused and became increasingly aggressive , ” said Simic as reported by the Toronto Sun .
Walker was charged with assault with intent to resist arrest , as well as violating the Trespass to Property Act by the York Regional Police the day after the altercation .
According to a statement by York Police in the Toronto Sun report , the mall security “ attempted to arrest the suspect who resisted arrest and assaulted the guards during the altercation.
” Police added that their officers reviewed “ countless hours of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with assault , adding that they found no evidence of an “ offence committed by the security guards.
” “ The security guard observed two people in the food court area eating and not wearing masks .
They were asked to disperse and failed to comply , ” said police in their statement .
“ The suspect was yelling and swearing at the security officers , ” police added .
A large portion of Ontario , including the Toronto , Peel and York regions , are currently under the most restrictive “ Lockdown-Grey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government has said they will most likely remain at this level until at least a few days before Christmas .
The York region was only yesterday added to the “ Lockdown-Grey ” category .
Incidents such as Walker ’ s have become more commonplace across Canada and the United States as some businesses and law enforcement take extreme measures to enforce local COVID-19 rules .
Recently , United Airlines kicked a family off a flight because their two-year-old refused to put on a mask .
In late November , Adam Skelly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arrested for defying local COVID health orders by opening up his dining room despite it being banned under local COVID-19 health restrictions .
Skelly was later released on bail but is facing multiple charges .
He has since been allowed to open his restaurant , but only for take-out .
Independent Ontario MPP Randy Hillier has been openly critical of the Ford government ’ s COVID-19 restrictions .
He was recently charged for both organizing and attending an anti-lockdown protest held outside the provincial legislature .
Premier of the province Doug Ford recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ holiday parties or large family dinners ” for 2020 in a politically correct announcement about “ Holiday Season Safety ” that did not mention Christmas at all .

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--2020-12-17--Medical experts tout new govt-blacklisted ‘miracle drug’ to treat COVID

December 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — As COVID-19 vaccine doses roll out across the world , top doctors increasingly tout a generic drug called ivermectin as a newly recognized potential “ cure ” for the virus .
Ivermectin , a Nobel Prize–winning anti-parasitic agent , has been the subject of dozens of studies and anecdotal success stories since it was found to reduce COVID-19 in a laboratory earlier this year .
The Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has refused emergency authorization of ivermectin to treat the novel coronavirus , stating for months that “ [ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , several medical experts testified to the benefits of the drug for COVID-19 patients at a hearing held by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week .
In an impassioned speech , Dr. Pierre Kory , an intensive care specialist from Wisconsin , spoke to what he called “ the miraculous effectiveness of ivermectin.
” Kory is a founding member of Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance ( FLCCC ) , “ a group of highly published leaders in critical care ” seeking to stop excessive mortality from COVID-19 .
FLCCC has developed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the group claims has led to up to 83 % lower-than-average COVID-19 death rates in hospitals that have applied it .
“ It literally destroys the virus in most people within 48 hours , ” agreed fellow panelist Dr. Jean-Jacques Rajter , whose peer-reviewed study found 60 % fewer deaths among patients given the drug .
“ I 've been treating COVID pretty much every single day since since the onset , ” Kory said .

Carvallo added that “ by now half of Argentina is using ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least ten other South American countries .
While top British scientific journal Nature has censured Latin Americans for “ unchecked ivermectin use , ” Dr. Kory has attributed some of the region ’ s major victories against the virus to widespread adoption of the drug .

Ivermectin, a Nobel Prize–winning anti-parasitic agent, has been the subject of dozens of studies and anecdotal success stories since it was found to reduce COVID-19 in a laboratory earlier this year.
December 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — As COVID-19 vaccine doses roll out across the world, top doctors increasingly tout a generic drug called ivermectin as a newly recognized potential “cure” for the virus.
Ivermectin, a Nobel Prize–winning anti-parasitic agent, has been the subject of dozens of studies and anecdotal success stories since it was found to reduce COVID-19 in a laboratory earlier this year. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused emergency authorization of ivermectin to treat the novel coronavirus, stating for months that “[m]ore testing is needed.”
Nevertheless, several medical experts testified to the benefits of the drug for COVID-19 patients at a hearing held by the Senate Homeland Security Committee last week. In an impassioned speech, Dr. Pierre Kory, an intensive care specialist from Wisconsin, spoke to what he called “the miraculous effectiveness of ivermectin.”
Kory is a founding member of Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC), “a group of highly published leaders in critical care” seeking to stop excessive mortality from COVID-19. FLCCC has developed a treatment regimen incorporating ivermectin, which the group claims has led to up to 83% lower-than-average COVID-19 death rates in hospitals that have applied it.
Ivermectin “basically obliterates transmission of this virus,” Dr. Kory told senators.
“It literally destroys the virus in most people within 48 hours,” agreed fellow panelist Dr. Jean-Jacques Rajter, whose peer-reviewed study found 60% fewer deaths among patients given the drug.
“I've been treating COVID pretty much every single day since since the onset,” Kory said. “When I say miracle I do not use that term lightly[.] … [T]hat is a scientific recommendation based on mountains of data that has emerged in the last three months.”
Kory pointed to multiple randomized trials awaiting peer review, which he and nine FLCCC colleagues highlight in a pre-print manuscript.

The anti-parasite drug also “significantly reduced the incidence of infection in health care and household contacts up to 2% compared to 10% in non ivermectin group,” according to the study.

The lead researcher for the studies, Dr. Héctor Carvallo, explained in an interview that “out [of] the 788 who received” an ivermectin regimen, “not a single one got infected.” Conversely, “almost over half, over 50 percent … got infected” from the control group, he said.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/16/2020) - Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—has spent billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market. Now, the FDA has granted emergency approval to roll out the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and people in the UK and the US are already receiving it. Though the Pfizer vaccine was not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, it was tested using the HEK293 fetal cell line to create humanized mice. And, more unethical vaccines are reaching the finish line and are being funded and promoted by the HHS with our tax dollars. We must continue to demand that this stop and that a fully ethical vaccine be brought to market instead! SIGN and SHARE our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop using our money to support the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. _________________________________________________________________________________ Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—is spending billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market as quickly as possible. Now, two of the Operation Warp Speed vaccines (one created by Pfizer/BioNTech and one created by Moderna/NIH) are nearing the finish line, soon to be applying for emergency FDA approval for mass distribution. And, while LifeSite neither advocates for or against voluntary vaccination, there are several apparent problems with the vaccines being fast-tracked by HHS’ Operation Warp Speed. First among the vaccines’ major problems: they were tested using aborted fetal cells . Please SIGN and SHARE LifeSite’s urgent petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop funding and promoting this unethical practice, and bring a fully ethical vaccine to market instead. The production and testing of vaccines that use the remains of aborted children, regardless of when they were killed and at what point they were used in the process, is morally unacceptable and must be consistently opposed by the whole pro-life movement. And, although the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, the Personhood Alliance recently reported that the vaccines’ testing phases used the HEK293 aborted fetal cell line to create humanized mice. This stomach-churning practice transferred immortalized cells from a child killed in 1973 into mouse embryos, so that when the mice were born, they had tiny human lungs that researchers infected with COVID to test the vaccines. This type of Frankenscience has no place in a civilized society, certainly not one whose citizens are forced to fund it! Sign our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop supporting the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. We can make a difference if we raise our voices together, but we’re running out of time! Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition today!

In his written testimony to the Senate, he related that in Peru, “the peak in deaths occurred at the time of distribution” of ivermectin, which the country approved for COVID-19 treatment in late spring. Every Peruvian state witnessed “rapid and sustained reduction in both case counts and death rates in patients” as ivermectin circulated, Kory contends.
Brazilian states with cities that took up ivermectin protocols similarly “show a much greater drop” in cases than others, with disparities of over 60% between neighboring areas, according to analysis linked by Kory. A subsequent study by a Brazilian-led team reported “a reduction of 31.5 to 36.5% in viral shedding” and 70–73% shorter symptom duration for patients treated with regimens that included the drug.
Ivermectin “needs to be immediately adopted systematically nationally and globally period,” Kory urged senators. “It will take months for the vaccine to be distributed to the general public and further time to have sufficient impact in this crisis,” he said.
“We need to offload the hospitals,” Kory pleaded. “We are tired. I can’t keep doing this. I have to go back to work next week. Any further deaths are going to be needless deaths.”

Blacklisted by regulators
In the face of new evidence, regulatory agencies nonetheless have remained unwavering in their rejection of ivermectin as a tool to combat coronavirus. The FDA, which strongly dissuades people from taking ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19, has not substantially updated its recommendations since at least April. The agency’s guidance still refers to the eight-month-old article demonstrating the potency of ivermectin in a lab environment as “recently released.”

The “pharmaceutical industry is not really interested in cheap answers,” he said.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford-trained economist and physician, noted as much at last week’s hearing, stating that “the NIH exists to solve this market failure.” At the same time, however, the agency “has made comparatively little effort to catalyze randomized evaluations of off-patent drugs from COVID-19 therapeutics,” but “has devoted considerable resources to aid the COVID-19 vaccine randomized trial studies,” Dr. Bhattacharya continued.
Frontline physicians at the Senate hearing repeatedly stressed the limitations of a central focus on vaccination to end the pandemic, like that employed by the NIH (which claims a stake in at least one COVID-19 vaccine). “Even if vaccines are 80% successful … we still need to treat the 20% of people who become ill with COVID-19 notwithstanding vaccination,” Dr. Rajter said.
Ivermectin in some ways offers more hope than vaccines for coronavirus patients, he related. “Some people may not be able to receive the vaccine for a variety of reasons. Vaccines may not be widely available for many months. Vaccines may no provide long-term immunity,” Rajter added. “Based on these factors, treatment for COVID-19 will need to remain on the forefront even after vaccination programs are initiated.”

The Orwellian thought-police program lists three 'success' stories of people cured of their 'extreme right-wing' views. 'Left-wing' examples are absent.

December 17, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — U.K. police have launched an Orwellian re-education program that encourages people to report concerns that loved ones are “developing extremist views” — which it fails to define — and “being filled with hate.”
“It can be hard to know what to do if you’re worried someone close is expressing extreme views or hatred, which could lead to them harming themselves or others. Working with other organisations, the police protect vulnerable people from being exploited by extremists through a Home Office programme called Prevent,” states the program’s ACT Early website, which was launched in Nov. 2020.
“Act early and tell us your concerns in confidence. You won’t be wasting our time and you won’t ruin lives, but you might save them,” the description continues.
It is no exaggeration to describe them as the U.K.’s “thought police.”
The website gives a few real-life examples of people who have been “helped” by the Prevent program, which read like a page out of Orwell’s 1984. Three of the stories describe “intervention” for people with vaguely defined “extreme right-wing” views, and three stories describe “extremist” Muslim views. Conspicuously absent from the list are examples of people with “extremist left-wing” views.
The first story listed is about a student named “John” who “started sharing extreme right wing posts on social media and attending rallies. After inviting a teacher along to an extremist rally he was referred to the Prevent programme by his college.”

— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Shut down big government NOT small business Show Petition Text 22607 have signed the petition. Let's get to 25000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Many small businesses are being forced to close temporarily or even permanently under the strain of a second wave of government-imposed COVID shutdowns. This is totally and thoroughly wrong...especially when big business, government, and large segments of the professional world are totally insulated from the repercussions of the shutdowns. Something drastic needs to be done now! SIGN this urgent petition calling for state legislatures to cut the salaries of governors and mayors who are responsible for closing small businesses by enacting draconian COVID shutdown measures. The bottom line is that the people imposing shutdown measures need to feel the bite of the restrictions they are imposing on other peoples' livelihoods so that they have a personal incentive to re-open their economies and make accommodation for the survival of small businesses. Local restaurants, cafes, gyms, clothiers, bookshops, florists, and many more, are being forced to shut their doors, some forever. Americans who have spent their entire lives building their business - and, taken all of the risk - stand to lose everything. But, the following are all considered essential and never get shut down: lawyers, lobbyists, politicians, courts, big corporations, and the media... And, to add insult to injury, some politicians who are imposing these shutdowns, like Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, are actually getting huge pay raises starting in the new year. Cuomo's raise is $25,000 next year alone! This is utterly scandalous! It is time to say enough is enough! If small business owners are being CRUSHED by government COVID restrictions, the politicians responsible should also feel the BITE of those restrictions! This is the only way to make the "political class" understand how devastating their shutdowns truly are to small business owners and their employees. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, supply millions of jobs to people across the country, and ironically provide the taxes used to fund the programs so loved by most of the governors and mayors. Because of the nature of small and medium businesses, their owners and workers are on the frontlines of the COVID crisis. They need to be rewarded for this bravery, not closed down. Accommodation needs to be made for small businesses so that they can weather this storm and thrive after it has passed. These are businesses we all love using, and we want them to be there long after COVID is just a bad memory. When this is all over, do we really want every coffee shop to be a Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts, or every restaurant to be a McDonald's? The answer is not only "no," but "Heck, no!" Therefore, governors and mayors need to be personally incentivized to do everything in their power to see that small and medium businesses can survive and thrive - AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. That's why we're calling on state legislators to cut the salaries of all governors and mayors who are imposing draconian shutdowns where no accommodation is being made for small businesses.

What exactly the term “extremist” means appears to be left to the judgement of the person concerned, as “extremism” is never defined on the site. Ultimately, by leaving the term “extremism” undefined, they have placed its definition, by default, in the hands of the state.
The site also gives the vaguest possible criteria for referring someone to this program: “More important than any one sign is the feeling that something is not right.”
The “signs and vulnerabilities” that it does list as making a person “more at risk for being exploited” don’t make their criteria much clearer. They are so broadly or ill defined that they can easily be interpreted as applying to a majority of sane and stable human beings.
For example, one of the indicators it lists is “being influenced or controlled by a group.” It presents the following leading questions:
Is the person you’re worried about talking as if from someone else’s script? Do you think they are expressing their own views and beliefs? Are you worried they are becoming intolerant to anyone who is not sharing their views?
Are we to believe somehow that our views are to be totally uninfluenced by other groups or other people’s ideas? That our views will at no time resemble those of another entity?
Also concerning is that it is quite common for people to confuse the rejection of an idea — which is a given for a thinking person — with rejection of or “intolerance” for a person.
And even if these were concerning behaviors, do they come anything close to signs that a person is a potential danger to society?
It also lists as potential indicators of “radicalisation” “An obsessive or angry desire for change or ‘something to be done’”; “Spending an increasing amount of time online and sharing extreme views on social media”; “The need for identity, meaning and belonging; personal crisis”; “Looking to blame others;” “Mental health issues;” and “The desire for status/need to dominate.”
Under the first trait of that list, it elaborates: “Some people react strongly to acts of extremism and terrorism, or to perceived injustices, whether in the UK or in other countries. Sometimes, this can lead to a powerful desire for change or ‘something to be done’ to address these concerns.”
The irony and incoherence of the request by the UK Metropolitan Police that people report concerns of “extremist views” was not lost on Twitter.
Howard John Fisher responded, “Yes I would like to report the Met Police, and the UK government and especially their Behavioural Insights Team, for having Extremist totalitarian and authoritarian technocratic views which will prove to be very injurious to the life and liberties of British Citizens.”
Paul Kemp tweeted, “BLM have extremist views. Why do your officers kneel for them?”
While the site admits that the presence of the traits it lists doesn’t “necessarily mean someone is being radicalised,” the authors have already sought to create a mental association between extremely common — and even perfectly healthy — characteristics and the “thoughtcrime” of extremism.
What makes the program even more disconcerting is its admonition to “act early” in response to signs of “radicalisation,” which is at the core of the program’s branding. “You can spot worrying behaviour at an early stage,” states the website, www.actearly.uk.
What do the “early stages” of “radicalization” look like? To call for its reporting easily broadens the scope of potential “thoughtcrimes.” Would the U.K. Met Police expect the early stages to entail anger at acts of terrorism (see above)? Would it involve “dogmatic” espousal of Christianity or other religions?
The website stresses, “Receiving support is voluntary. We need the person’s permission to help them. Our approach begins by understanding people are victims of radicalisation; we don’t view them as suspects or criminals.”
What are we to make of this claim, considering that the Prevent initiative is an extension of Counter Terrorism Policing? Are we to imagine that they keep no records on the people reported to their program?
Even while they say that currently, re-education — what they call “support” — is voluntary, it doesn’t take a genius to see that the program paves the way for forced re-education, in the name of “public safety.”
Gerard Batten incisively observed, “Yes, I am deeply concerned that your officers are being indoctrinated with hate against ordinary decent people who demonstrate & defend their freedoms & liberties. Your reputation is going the same way as the Gestapo, KGB & Stasi.”

lifesitenews--2020-12-17--Biden’s campaign manager launches profanity-laden attack on Republicans, calls for political unity

WASHINGTON D.C , December 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Joe Biden ’ s presidential campaign manager has labelled Republicans as “ a bunch of f***ers ” whilst simultaneously praising Biden ’ s sense of political “ unity , ” and calling for political cooperation .
The comments were made as part of a recent interview to Glamour by Jen O ’ Malley Dillon , the campaign manager for Biden ’ s 2020 campaign .
She praised Biden for being able to “ connect with people over this sense of unity , ” saying that during the primaries , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ You think you can work with Republicans ?
” O ’ Malley Dillon then proceeded to libel Republicans generally , but particularly Senate Majority leader , Mitch McConnell .
“ I ’ m not saying they ’ re not a bunch of f***ers .
Mitch McConnell is terrible .
But this sense that you couldn ’ t wishfor that , you couldn ’ t wish for this bipartisan ideal ?
He [ Biden ] rejected that.
” “ From start to finish , he set out with this idea that unity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stronger , that we , as a country , need healing , and our politics needs that too , ” she continued .
O ’ Malley Dillon did not seem to see any discrepancy between her own attack on Republicans and her call for political unity , as she then began to describe politics as being “ like a relationship.
” “ You can ’ t do politics alone , ” she said .
“ If the other person is not willing to do the work , then that becomes really hard .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , people want to see impact .
They want to see us moving in a path forward.
” “ This overhang of this negative , polarized electorate that politics has created is the thing that I think we can break down , ” she claimed .
O ’ Malley Dillon is no stranger to the political sphere .
She previously worked for Vice President Al Gore ’ s 2000 campaign as well as for Barack Obama in his 2008 and 2012 campaigns .
She was then brought in to run the Biden campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) as the Executive Director in 2009 , and then as chair for the DNC Unity Reform Commission .
She has now been appointed by Biden to be the Deputy Chief of Staff , on the premise that he might take the White House .
As such , her words carry significant weight as to the potential feelings towards Republicans from the Biden team .
Axios reportedthat one Biden official defended O ’ Malley Dillon , adding that “ she says it how it is.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White House , O ’ Malley Dillon tweeted : “ Working for @ JoeBiden is absolutely the honor of my life .
We have hard things to do , and with his leadership , we can do them together for the American people .
Ready to get to work.
” Podcaster and former Fox News and NBC News presenter , Megyn Kelly , noted the irony of O ’ Malley Dillon ’ s interview , and posted a message saying “ Unite you F***ers !
” The campaign manager ’ s words are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ employer , as shortly after the election , Biden claimed he wished to “ restore the soul of America.
” “ We must stop treating our opponents as our enemy , ” he said .
“ We are not enemies .
We are Americans.
” On Monday , after the electoral college vote and one day before O ’ Malley Dillon ’ s interview was published , Biden repeated his call for unity and healing : “ Now it is time to turn the page , to unite , to heal.
” Political @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain , also noted the discrepancy in O ’ Malley Dillon ’ s words : “ Calling all republicans “ f***ers ” really isn ’ t exactly what I pictured ‘ restoring the soul of America back ’ would look like… ” In an attempt to repair the damage done by the interview , Kate Bedingfield , Biden ’ s appointee for Communications Director , sent a tweet saying : “ So @ jomalleydillon would be the first to tell you her mom doesn ’ t approve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be the first to tell you that the point she was making in this conversation with @ GlennonDoyle is spot on : unity and healing are possible – and we can get things done.
” Bedingfield ’ s words might not have had the desired effect , as Axios also recorded the words of a Biden donor , who was greatly affected by O ’ Malley Dillon ’ s slander : “ For those of us who , from Day One , bought into Biden ’ s calls for civility and a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t just beyond the pale — it ’ s plain stupid.
” LifeSiteNews is facing increasing censorship .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-12-17--Candace Owens defends COVID vaccine sceptics, describes her ‘terrifying’ HPV vaccine injury

December 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Well-known American conservative pundit Candace Owens has blasted the prejudice against those questioning the safety and need for a coronavirus vaccine , and related her “ terrifying ” experience with the controversial Merck-produced Gardasil HPV vaccine that “ forever altered ” her thinking about vaccines .
Moreover , with a COVID-19 vaccine now approved , it ’ s more essential than ever to openly discuss the pros and cons of vaccination , given that “ we are more awake as a society to the evils of the pharmaceutical industry , ” which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mandatory coronavirus vaccine , Owens said in video posted Tuesday on Instagram .
Owens , who is due to deliver her first child in two weeks , said that many people asked for her take on vaccines following her November 30 video asking who is “ lining up for the COVID-19 vaccine ?
” “ How many of you guys are going to be among the first to inject this experimental vaccine , that ’ s been rushed , into your arms ?
” Owens asked then .
“ I ’ ve been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of propaganda , and if people say things enough times , people completely suspend critical thinking.
” On December 11 , the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization of the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine , which uses messenger RNA technology and has to be stored at -60 to -80 degrees Celsius .
The Pfizer vaccine has also been approved in Britain , Canada , Bahrain , Mexico and Saudi Arabia .
In her subsequent Instagram video , Owens described how her adverse reaction to an HPV shot changed her from a “ super @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on her doctor ’ s advice , to someone who is neither “ explicitly pro-vaccine ” or “ explicitly anti-vaccine ” but “ pro with people using their brain and assessing the risks and evaluating whether or not it is a good idea to take a vaccine.
” Society regards not vaccinating your children as the “ highest crime against humanity and we don ’ t even have the discussion , ” added Owens .
“ We have been such a vicious and disgusting society against moms who speak out about their children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them like they ’ re all crazy conspiracy theorists , ” she said .
“ Now that I have a platform , I want to use it to support those moms and to say that I believe you .
You know , I believe you because … I ’ ve had a vaccine .

“ The first time I got the first part of the series , as soon as he gave me a shot , I passed out , ” which left her “ shaken.
” As for her second dose , “ as soon as they put the shot in my arm , I not only passed out again , but when I woke up , I instantly started vomiting and seizuring all over my nurse , ” who then called in two male doctors , she said , who recommended not taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reaction .
“ And it was just a really terrifying , awful experience .
I am not a person who has ever had seizures .
I 'm not a person who passes out , ” Owen said .
“ I was crying hysterically and when I left , I was really shaken up and I went to my mom ’ s office , which was very nearby.
” The experience “ forever altered my opinion on vaccines , meaning that I would never , ever , ever be a person that would just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so , ” Owens said .
She then heard from other women who had adverse reactions to the Gardasil vaccine and “ started digging into this vaccine and thinking to myself , why did I just allow this doctor to inject me without doing any research ?
” Owens discovered that cervical cancer affects a disproportionately small number of women , ( about 4,000 of the 166,000,000 million American women die of cervical cancer annually , or .0024 percent ) and that HPV generally “ goes away untreated.

Moreover, with a COVID-19 vaccine now approved, it’s more essential than ever to openly discuss the pros and cons of vaccination, given that “we are more awake as a society to the evils of the pharmaceutical industry,” which has an obvious incentive to push a mandatory coronavirus vaccine, Owens said in video posted Tuesday on Instagram.

— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to government and corporate penalties for refusing COVID-19 vaccine Show Petition Text 103183 have signed the petition. Let's get to 125000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition **Photo credit: Shutterstock.com Mainstream media sources are promoting offensive suggestions by some doctors that people who refuse a vaccine for COVID-19 should be "punished" by the government and by business - effectively coercing them into taking the vaccine. One group of doctors writing in 'USA Today' suggested that the government impose special taxes (i.e., fines) on people who refuse the vaccination and that business simply refuse to serve them. [see story below]
Another doctor writing in an online publication called 'The Conversation' shamelessly suggested that people who refuse a vaccine should be given a psychoactive drug to induce compliance. [see story below] But, these suggestions are plain political posturing, and have nothing to do with science or with the recent trends of the disease. And, in case they haven't noticed, we live in a democracy not a medical dictatorship! Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks policy-makers and business people, at all levels, to pledge to respect the rights of those who, in good conscience, decide not to vaccinate themselves or their children. People should not have to live in fear of governmental or corporate retribution for refusing a vaccine which is being rushed to market by Big Pharma and their fellow-travelers in NGOs, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It would be intolerable and immoral for the government or business to coerce someone, and their family, to take a COVID vaccine against their will to avoid a fine, or just so they can do their weekly grocery shopping. Medical freedom must be respected in principle and also in practice. So, it is now time that our policy-makers listen to all voices involved in this vital conversation, and start to represent those who will not tolerate being punished for refusing a vaccine. Simply put, legislatures must begin to act as legislatures again. Questions must be asked. Hearings and investigations must be held. And, the legislatures of each state and country must return to the business of representing the people who voted for them, assuming their rightful place as the originator of legislation. We can no longer accept the dictates of executive branches without question, especially now that, statistically speaking, the initial brunt of the COVID crisis has passed. Neither can we accept the dictates of doctors who seem detached from reality and from science, and who only seem to be attached to the idea of promoting ideas which contribute to the agrandizement of power and control of political interests, and wealth of those who stand to make a lot of money from the sale of a COVID vaccine. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks government and business leaders to pledge to respect the rights of those who refuse a COVID vaccine, and not seek to punish them for doing so.

“The first time I got the first part of the series, as soon as he gave me a shot, I passed out,” which left her “shaken.”
As for her second dose, “as soon as they put the shot in my arm, I not only passed out again, but when I woke up, I instantly started vomiting and seizuring all over my nurse,” who then called in two male doctors, she said, who recommended not taking the third dose because of her adverse reaction.
“And it was just a really terrifying, awful experience. I am not a person who has ever had seizures. I'm not a person who passes out,” Owen said. “I was crying hysterically and when I left, I was really shaken up and I went to my mom’s office, which was very nearby.”
The experience “forever altered my opinion on vaccines, meaning that I would never, ever, ever be a person that would just get the vaccine because the doctor said so,” Owens said.

(The Democrat-dominated New York state assembly and senate are currently considering bills to provide for the HPV vaccination of anyone born after January 2009.)
As for the COVID-19 vaccine, “I think I’ve never seen this many people, both people that say they are pro-vax and anti-vax coming together to discuss their lack of comfort with rushing the vaccine, with saying that you want everybody to get it,” Owens concluded.
