‘Our Freedom Is in Danger’: Protests Erupt Across Europe Over COVID-19 Mandates
Court in Berlin bans lockdown protests, demonstrators arrested in Berlin
BY JACK PHILLIPS August 1, 2021

Thousands of people in France demonstrated against a special “health pass” and marched through Paris and other French cities on July 31, with most of the protests being peaceful, with a few sporadic clashes.

I bet it's a lot more than just "thousands".

UK employers warned forcing vaccine passports in the workplace could be a criminal offense
Digital vaccine passports are one of the latest affronts to civil liberties and, at least in the UK, employers have been told to think twice.

Maybe the UK is ahead of the US on protecting human rights here.

As Melbourne, Australia enters into its sixth lockdown, demonstrators fill the streets of the city to protest against the lockdown measures.

The three most populated cities in Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne) are currently under lockdown.

As far as objective reality is concerned, these people are no longer locked down. The state of society is decided by that society. Once upon a time they, as a mass, agreed to give up a modicum of autonomy for some safety in form of protection rac- government.

We've given up a bit too much up until this point. Now, they have decided they are no longer in lockdown. The government needs to wake up to the decisions of their people. We forget that our choices can be more than just filling in a bubble on a ballot.

I hope they start up in NYC soon.

Hundreds Protest Vaccination Mandates in Michigan
BY STEVEN KOVAC August 7, 2021

LANSING, Mich.—About 800 protesters gathered Friday afternoon on the grounds outside the Michigan State Capitol to rally against government mandates for vaccinations and masks.

It's a start.

For the fourth consecutive weekend, thousands of demonstrators in France took to the streets to protest against the country’s strict new COVID-19 rules, including a so-called “health pass” that restricts non-vaccinated people from entering restaurants, bars, gyms, and other venues.

Video footage uploaded on social media showed demonstrators marching in Paris, chanting slogans against vaccine passports and other mandates, including, “No vaccine passports.”

Is that like "oui oui monsieur"?

A group of anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination protesters clashed with police as they tried to gain access to BBC studios in west London.

Protesters were seen confronting officers with scuffles breaking out as they attempted to enter the site in White City. A line of police officers were filmed pushing back protesters to stop them entering.

It is understood the group arrived to protest plans for vaccine passports and the vaccination of children.

One person posted online: "Official Voice protesters try storming the BBC studios at White City but them come up against a heavy police presence.

"They are protesting against vaccine passports and vaccine for kids."

France’s COVID-19 ‘Health Pass’ Expands in Scope Despite Protests

The French government on Monday expanded more activities requiring the use of a COVID-19 “health pass” despite large-scale protests against such measures.

The pass extensions include visiting hospitals, intercity travel, and going to restaurants and cafes.

That is a huge fuck-you to the public.

It is a demonstration that the French government does not represent the French people in the least. Instead, the French government represents the financial interests of Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J.

Macron's head should be in a basket.

https://reclaimthenet.org/macron-tells-france-vaccine-passports-protect-your-freedom/

Macron is using "Newspeak" from 1984 in saying that the denial of your freedom protects your freedom.

It's exactly like saying "War is peace" and "Slavery is freedom".

The French will not be free until Macron's head is in a basket.

Every request for a "vaccine passport" should be rightly replied to with gunfire directed at the highest French "health care" official who ordered it.

Save a bullet for the oligarch who controls that French official.

That would be Macron, and hopefully his head will be in a basket already.

You know, the French helped us in our revolution. Maybe we owe them help against Macron.

Protestors Gather at New York City Hall to Oppose Vaccine Passport
BY ENRICO TRIGOSO August 10, 2021

A crowd of New Yorkers from many different walks of life gathered in front of City Hall on Monday to protest against the vaccine pass mandate recently announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio.

It's a good start, but we need things x100.

We should all be trying to organize these things.

I wonder if hackers could save us? Could coordinated hacks of critical infrastructure and key corporations databases shut them down? And then ransom their data for action of legislators passing a law that bans vaccine mandates?

France’s COVID passport revolt is just beginning

August 12, 2021 | 9:02 am

Written by:

Jonathan Miller

Three weeks ago, 100,000 demonstrators turned out on the streets of France to protest President Emmanuel Macron’s hastily passed law to require vaccination passports to get on a train, eat at a restaurant or visit a shopping center. A week later, the number had more than doubled. Last Saturday, it doubled again. One police union estimated that close to 500,000 had turned out, although as usual the Interior Ministry claimed a much lower number. Enormous demonstrations were staged not just in Paris but in more than 150 cities and towns across France, as well as in the overseas territories of Guadeloupe and Réunion.

All this in the middle of the sacred summer holiday season. On the current trajectory, one million could be on the streets by September. With eight months to go before the first round of the presidential election, Macron and his ministers have kindled a national revolt. It could be as prolonged and divisive as the revolt of the gilets jaunes, which only stopped in March last year after the first wave of COVID.

Ministers are still pouring petrol on the flames. This week, the health minister dismissed protesters as ‘a magma of anti-vax, anti-science and anti-state’ activists. With the connivance of a tame media, officials have painted protesters as dangerous, ultra right-wing extremists.

On Monday, a protester who on Saturday was photographed carrying a sign denouncing, inter alia, Macron, Klaus Schwab, Bernard Henri-Lévy and George Soros was described as anti-Semitic by the interior minister, an allegation instantly and uncritically repeated by BFMTV, Macron’s ever-loyal news channel. By nightfall she was in a police cell.

Anyone outside of France can be forgiven for misreading the mood here. The deliberate demonization of protesters is enthusiastically relayed by foreign journalists parroting the lines fed to them by Elysée flacks. The Sunday Times of London called protesters ‘far right and gilets jaunes’.

Yet as scores of videos available on social media show, these are not archetypal tinfoil hat-wearing anti-vaxxers, though a tiny handful might be. Indeed, many of them have been vaccinated. (After a slow start, roughly 80 percent of French people over 50 have had two shots.) Nor are many wearing yellow gilets. They say they’re protesting ‘liberticide’ — the progressive elimination of freedom in the cause of fighting an epidemic that’s being exploited in the service of Macron’s reelection campaign. They’re objecting to compulsion and endless official intrusions into everyday life, and they quake at talk of a third, fourth or even annual or biannual vaccination against the endless mutation of variants.

The demonstrators are young and old. They include uniformed firefighters, families, teachers, Catholics, leftists, nationalists, nurses and restaurant owners. Many are pushing strollers. They’re not black-clad anarchists or rustics. They’re overwhelmingly middle-class and peaceful. Many say it’s the first demonstration they’ve ever attended. They don’t like Macron, who they believe is dividing the French by pitting the young and the fed-up against the baby boomers, his natural constituents.

I’ve lived in France, on and off, for 20 years. I’m unable to recall such a petulant mood. Ten days ago, the newly appointed prefect of my department declared it compulsory to wear masks inside and outside. The edict is being totally ignored.

On Monday night in Paris, police raided restaurants and were issuing €135 ($159) fines to diners without COVID passes. At railway stations, officials are checking every traveler and issuing blue bracelets to authorize them to board trains. Hideous wire cages are being erected around some terraces to stop evasion of checks. Business at restaurants and cafés is duly collapsing. Naturally, the restaurants at the National Assembly and Senate are exempt from all of this.

Eighteen months ago, France turned into a republic of absurdities as it became illegal to leave the house without a signed declaration and supermarkets were forbidden to sell ‘non-essential’ socks. (For a time, the sale of face masks was restricted, then face masks became compulsory.) The country was subjected to a 7 p.m. curfew, earlier than the Germans imposed during the occupation.

Today, the dirigismes are becoming even more sinister and provocative. Hospitals are hiring hundreds of security guards to scan health passports before admitting visitors and even patients, even as many mutinous health care workers are threatened with the sack for refusing passports themselves. Police are checking cafés as real crime runs rampant. Masked officers have also been filmed interrogating restaurant-goers, telling customers to present their phones so that their health status can be inspected.

While today small businesses are threatened with fines of €45,000 ($53,000) and their owners with a year in prison for failing to check the vaccination status of their customers, the future looks even worse. Most provocative is the government’s plan to extend the vaccine passport to those over the age of 12 from the end of next month. And it’s been reported that some health officials wish to vaccinate those as young as five. It’s estimated that fewer than 20 children have died in France with COVID since March last year, and many of them had comorbidities.

Macron has no children, having married a woman 25 years his senior. It’s fair to suppose he has absolutely no idea how provocative his latest moves will prove. He apparently believes this authoritarianism, showing strength in the war on the virus, will get him reelected. It might. Political opposition to the president remains fractured and weak. Few mainstream politicians have put their heads above the parapet to support the demonstrators.

In a July vote passing the passport law, Macron’s majority three times rejected amendments to exclude the possibility that a passe sanitaire would be required to vote in France. Surely such a measure would be impossible? Perhaps, but it’s an indication of the mood here that many don’t think so, especially after the constitutional council of superannuated politicians waived through the vaccine passports with nary a murmur.

It’s a little remarked feature of the president’s crackdown that the one group he will depend on to enforce his new law has been specifically excluded from complying with it. The police, whose armories have been freshly replenished with tear gas and rubber bullets, are exempt. Demonstrations so far have been peaceful. A month from now that may no longer be true.

Lol, Le Roi Macron had to exclude the police from the mandatory jab or they certainly would have revolted.

If they have any integrity, they will still revolt.

Macron's head should be in a basket, next to that of his health minister.

If the French don’t revolt, then they really are as cucked and a bunch of pussies as we always thought they were.

I’d like to think that “it couldn’t happen here” but it’s almost a reality in LA.
