Switzerland’s contentious ban on facial coverings in public, commonly known as the “burqa ban,” will officially take effect on January 1, 2025. The announcement was made by the Federal Council in a statement cited by Reuters on Wednesday. Violators of the law could face fines of up to 1,000 Swiss francs (approximately Rs 96,280).

The measure, narrowly passed in a 2021 nationwide referendum, has faced strong criticism from Muslim organisations and rights advocates. It was championed by the same political group that led the 2009 ban on constructing new minarets in Switzerland.

Is there a spiritual war between good and evil? Celia Farber’s post regarding the designation of brain death for organ harvesting was thought provoking. This meme is true by all news accounts: the father spent some time in jail over it, but his son squeezing his hand three times after a prayer was proof that he was still alive and aware. The son did indeed recover afterwards and even was baptized with his father a few months later, which led to his Dad being sent back to jail over a judges inexplicable no contact order. Both sides assert that it was worth it.

Re: COVID-19 Vaccine Injury Compensation Program

Dear Secretary Becerra and Administrator Johnson:

We, the Attorneys General of Utah, Kansas, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas, write to express our serious concerns with how
individuals harmed by COVID-19 vaccines are being treated by the federal
government. We seek answers to questions about the administration of the
Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).
During the height of the pandemic, many Americans wanted “to do their part”
by participating in vaccine trials or getting vaccinated. The federal government gave
COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers more than $30 billion in taxpayer funds to develop
and sell COVID-19 vaccines,
1 and spent billions more promoting these products to the public.2 The federal
government both encouraged,3 and in many cases, mandated vaccination.4
But when some of these individuals were injured by the COVID-19 vaccine,
they found that the federal government favored manufacturers over their health. In
addition to providing manufacturers like Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars,
5 the federal government also gave these companies effective blanket immunity for harms
caused by their products.6
The injured individuals, on the other hand, each experienced some form of
health complications that were diagnosed by credible physicians as resulting from a
Covid vaccination. Some of those injured were even seen by federal government
employed physicians and the harm from a vaccination was validated and
acknowledged by the federal government. The people for whom we advocate and for
whom we are concerned are not opportunists looking for deep pockets for phantom
injuries. These are honest people with verified injuries. They are our constituents of
all backgrounds and political affiliations. This is not just a bi-partisan issue, it is nonpartisan
in nature. Yet, in spite of credible diagnoses and real harm, these individuals
injured by COVID-19 vaccines have only a single form of recourse: to file a claim with the CICP.
As attorneys general, we are seriously concerned about the lack of
transparency and due process afforded by the CICP, as well as the substantial
roadblocks claimants face in obtaining relief. ...

Arkansas Lawmakers Move to Hold Pharmaceutical Executives Criminally Liable for Vaccine Injuries

Lawmakers in Arkansas are considering legislation that could deliver a death blow to the pharmaceutical industry.

Senate Bill 6, introduced by Republican State Sen. Bryan King, would overcome the pharmaceutical industry’s federal liability shield for vaccine injuries.

The bill seeks to hold corporate executives criminally liable for “vaccine harms” if they concealed evidence of risks associated with an injection that subsequently seriously injured or killed the recipient.

Under Senate Bill 6, an executive officer of a pharmaceutical company who “knowingly hides, conceals, omits, or otherwise withholds evidence, documentation, or information that the vaccine has dangerous effects” would be criminally prosecuted.

Those execs would be charged with a felony and face a prison sentence of one year to life.
