It can't be both! The world is getting crazier. People are acting more and more insane. The end of the world is tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.
The only one thing to do when the world is really hard, is to have a conscious and discuss this week's answer to the lens of bible prophecy. You are listening to the name of the crime used to. You're listening to an air-ground news talk today is August 2nd, 2021. This is episode 370.
And today, oh no, what is the name of the show today? It's Neo Refuse Nick. That's right, razzle dazzle. I'm your best buddy, Basil.
And this is Gons, your favorite Asian pre-rockets tour for Christ. Welcome to the podcast where we bring you the best news, which is the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. We'll report in you egregious with a well-rounded, biblically-grounded take on world events. And welcome back, Basil.
Have me go solo on Friday, and you sound tired or something. Have you been running in the time of the city? I am tired. I've just been perpetually living in a state of forever midnight.
You know, us time travelers. We call it us time variants, sorry. We live in what we call forever midnight, which is not not necessarily a point in time of which we inhabit forever and an endless loop, but it's just that we're just tired all the time. Okay.
And yes, so you guessed correctly. But I'm happy to be back. You did the last one all by yourself, Gons. I'm very proud of you.
Oh, thanks. I just kept talking. It felt weird. I thought you would maybe be reading through the infrastructure bill.
Have you seen the size of the infrastructure bill? Is it $6 trillion worth of pages? Pretty much. I mean, there's a photo for those of you watching.
We're showing a photo of the bill. And, you know, there really should be a limit to the size of bills or like the number of words or pages because this thing is like, I don't know, a foot and a half tall stacked papers. It is humongous. Who's going to read all that?
Well, that's the point, Gons. That's the point. It's part of the strat, as they say. You can't have any of anybody in the opposition party speed running your bill when $6 trillion around the line.
Is it $6 trillion? We've surely we've cut it down from $6 trillion now. I think this particular bill is only like a half a trillion. It's like $500 billion.
Yeah, they really did. I know. Well, you know, it's fun to talk about the $6 trillion bill. But as we know, they've been going back and forth.
And yes, it's good to know that they've got it to at least a number that the human mind is able to comprehend in an abstract sense. Whereas $6 trillion, you know, don't even try folks. Can you imagine the person that has to turn that into a PDF? I'm sure they, you know, the government, they instead of going from just a PDF version to paper, they probably like print it, like they write it up all on WordPress, they print it first, and then they're like, turn this into a PDF and they have to scan each page back from paper to digital.
They would need to, they got to, they got to farm that out to a render farm to get those those pages all nice and crisp, crisp, glossy, PDA, PDF, PDF, PDF, some weird medicine you've been taking. No, PDA, that's a you wouldn't understand, Gons. That's a cool inter interdimensional word documents. Oh, all right.
It's not for you. Well, let's see. Well, I did. Are you, are you still compliant with the jab people?
What does that mean? I don't know. What are you trying to say? Because you got jab.
You're compliant with the jab people. To travel in time, you had to get your jab. Oh, man, that's time variance. We don't, we don't comply with anyone.
That's right. That's the whole point. Well, there was an NBC news hit here. I want people to pay particular attention to this, not just this lady here who says she has a cyst that formed after she got her vaccine, but she's still pushing it.
But the narrative, I think that we're going to start hearing more, which is that, you know, if you're not going to get vaccinated, you should get tested every week. I'm honestly like, torn because I personally, I got the vaccine and I have like a cis growing in my arms from it. And I know a lot of people are also scared about the vaccine, but I do believe in the science behind the vaccine. They do like simply, but yes, I would feel safer.
I don't have the vaccine. I also really understand why people don't want to get it. Like, I do understand that. So it's really difficult.
That's so difficult. You have some to say so far. Well, you know, I don't know what your angle is coming at this woman, but I think it's brave of her to say this on what is this on social media. No, NBC even even braver on NBC to say that you can.
You can understand why someone wouldn't want to get the vaccine. That's a brave thing to say. You're allowed to say that because you have a cis growing out of your arm where you got the vaccine. Yeah.
Well, there you go. It's the she gets the social justice points. Yeah. Sorry, the victim points victim or virtue signal points.
This was a longer montage that I cut down, but let me just continue here. I understand that. So it's really difficult. That's why I feel like it should be in either or we should also have the weekly testing for city workers who are constantly exposed because people are still getting COVID.
And for the Monday or people should show by every week that they are getting the test. However, I also believe that we will fail if we don't take care of the other pieces related on how they own the certain communities. Those were heard the most also get all the hope to fight the virus. I think these are unusual times.
And I think you're exceptional times. Well, isn't it that they can either get the vaccine or they have to be tested every week? Correct. So it's not forcing them to.
So I don't know if you heard that to end their basil, but so this lady was asked, you know, is it forcing people is good or bad to force people to get vaccinated? And she said, well, isn't it? You can get the vaccine or get tested every week. And then the guy interviewing said correct.
And she said, Oh, so it's not forcing them missing a whole point. It's being forced to be tested. It's it's well, that is its own problem. Yeah.
Well, it is interesting because there's a couple of different stances on this. Some people really have no problem, you know, whatever it whatever it takes to not take the vaccine, they'll do it, such as getting tested whenever they're required to get tested. Now being required to get tested to do something like travel versus just exist in your society. There's some lines to be drawn between those two things.
But you got to remember, I think they know that they're not going to be able to mandate the vaccinations. They know they're not going to be able to get so many people vaccinated or as many people as they want vaccinated. But you got to remember Gates and Soros just invested in their new testing company. And two days before the PCR test, you know, warning that went out.
So I think they're planning for the long haul. Gates and Soros famously, you know, long haul investor. I think I think they know that the bajillions of these tests are going to be run on a regular basis. And I think they're planning for half the population of the earth to not get vaccinated.
Well, also, I think federally, yes, they won't be able to mandate it. But I mean, companies and businesses, they're already mandating the vaccine. And so yeah, but what about those podcasters, Gons? Who's there to enforce it on the podcasters?
They're going to build flippy microphone arms that test you, you know, they swab you before you can talk into it. Oh, see, there's a good exit strategy. You know, a pop filter, a spit screen that every podcaster uses. It catches your your your your moist particles as you're screaming into the internet.
And it just automatically tests you. I think we're figuring it out. That's you off. Walk down the podcast.
Yeah. Yeah, it meets you if you're positive that. Wow, that pitch that to the to the elites there. And we can have a rest.
Soros. I got a great idea to finally, finally get back at those podcasters. So mean to you all the time. All right.
Well, a little shorter on time today. I know we say that often, but it's actually kind of true today. So let's get on with that. And for once or actually not for once, but it also is not my fault either.
You have stuff to do. So take that. OK, I think that means we got to get into the flippy update. Flippy update.
Do your want to thrive without. OK, folks, it's time for the flippy update. You know what that means. If you're new to the show, flippy is the colloquial name for the disembodied robot arms that are taking our jobs and slaving our children and flirting with our spouses.
We use talking about flippy as a way to explore all the new, fun and exciting ways that robots are taking over the world. Now there's nothing we can do about it today, Gons. I got this article from deaconherald.com. And the headline reads like this kitchen robot in Latvia cooks up new future for fast food.
Da, da, da. A pasta order comes in and the robotic arm springs into action at the robo eats eatery in Riga. After five minutes of gyrations, a piping hot plate is ready. Oh, so they're mixing the food cooking with the flirting with our spouses here.
A gyrating robotic arm cooking pasta. The Riga Cafe located under a crumbling concrete bridge is designed in such sense. I thought that was an interesting detail they added. Like the infrastructure of the city there is falling apart yet.
Robots are on the shelf or a veil in the kitchen. Or maybe it's an illusion to trolls. Maybe this is a troll restaurant. We got trolls under the bridge.
Maybe this isn't real. We're all being fooled. The Riga Cafe, located under a crumbling concrete bridge, is designed in such a way that customers can observe the robotic arm at work. OK, it's designed in such a way that you can.
They put a window in the wall. There's a window. It also has a seating area, although most customers prefer to take away since vaccination certificates are required to be able to eat indoors in Latvia. When did this come out?
July 31st, interesting. A robo eats app, allows customers to order and pay for their dish before picking it up at the cafe. Quote, the food tasted better than I expected. It said customer Yvettea Ratanica, a teacher and a member of the Latvian Capital's education board.
OK, so we've got the education board of approval saying for the can make good pasta. But Ratanica said she would encourage school children to come and observe the robotic arm in action and news that there could be robots working at the school cafeteria within a few years. Whoa, robo threats from the... I know.
Talk about conditioning. Totally. Yeah. A little bit of robo conditioning for the children there.
Extra credit, kids. Robo Eats was set up in January 2018 by Konstantin's Court Jomkins and Janis Parruks, who have been running the Waki Taki Fast Food Chain in Latvia since 2009. Their aim to revolutionize the fast food industry. It's not that all their aims at this point gone.
Everybody's trying to revolutionize. Can somebody just cook me a burger? Why can we get some status quo in this industry? Why does everything have to be revolutionary?
I think you're going to need a Bitcoin to buy a meat burger in the next ten years. Oh, yes. I wonder. You might be able to take Bitcoin at this.
It would be a crime if they don't. It's like, oh, we're this robot thing, but we only accept what current season Latvia they got the Euro. I mean, it's in Eastern Europe in former Soviet-occupied occupation territory under a concrete bridge. If you can't take Bitcoin there, where can you take it?
Oh, yeah. Almost done here. Well, this robot replaces four to six human employees. And there it is.
Finally, somebody telling the truth guns, use the R word. This robot replaces four to six human employees, reducing labor costs significantly, said Parruks, who has a background in engineering. Wow. God bless you, Mr.
Parruks. I wonder if it's a cultural thing, because it's Eastern Europe. They're not so worried about convincing the entire populace that, no, no, no, no, this isn't to replace humans. It's to make it easier, make your job easier.
It's like, oh, former Soviet territory. We need more robots. We're tired of working, cooking the noodles. Yeah, we know.
Quote, the robot will not replace, oh, yeah, they take it back right away. The robot will not replace people who are willing to have a career in restaurants and catering, becoming chefs or other foods, celebrities. The robot will take those low-paid jobs, which most people already do not want, he said. Wow.
Yeah. That's not good either, though. That's very interesting. You know, what's going to disappear is the stories of like the humble beginnings of a chef.
I started in the kitchen washing dishes. Yeah, I cooked noodles under a crumbling concrete bridge in Latvia. And that's where I paid my dues before I could become a food celebrity. You know, and this is all tied in with, well, obviously the internet, but social media, I mean, really gone are the days where you need to work your way up the ladder to notoriety.
Now all you need is a popular TikTok account. Yeah. You know, so I don't know. In a way, he is very forward-thinking with the whole, you know, yeah, no, there's still be celebrity chefs.
There's still be, you know, things like that. For the rest of us, we have the robots. That is until you have your celebrity robot chefs. I mean, then it's only a matter of time before the celebrity robot.
I watched Futureama. I know what they're planning. Well, there you go. Latvian listeners, we got to have at least one out there.
Send us an email. Maybe, or, you know, those are pretty small. You don't even need to be in Latvia to enjoy this restaurant. If you're in Estonia or Lithuania, maybe even Russia, just hop over the border.
Check out this with a flippy arm for us. Let us know. Nice. All right.
All right. And last episode, I went on a little rant about what the 33 was about and pulled up some scripture and stuff. And you missed a good 33 update last episode, Basil, because there is a, not only did the gunmakers, one of the gunmakers from the, who was it? I don't remember the name.
They had, they paid $33 million to the Sandy Hook families. But I also reported on this 33 smart mobility corridor beta district where there's a group called the Northwest 33 Council of Governments that oversees a district of 33 smart mobility corridor projects, $6 million from the US Department of Transportation to get like, dry, wireless, you know, self-driving cars and 5G and all that kind of stuff going. So that was a good one. But today, 33 is a number that the elites seem to use for signaling purposes.
And this first one is from Reuters.com. Britain's COVID-19 cases down by 33% over the last week. And I think Boris and his, his compliance, he's getting rewarded by getting a COVID cases down in Britain by 33%. Oh, what a convenient number.
Good job, Boris. Nice work, Boris. You know, he did it. Good boy.
You know, he's like a little pet on the head with a 33%. Yeah. What do you think his prize is going to be? Something good has to happen now.
No, probably not. Nothing needs a cookie. Boris wants a cookie, sounds about that. The other, the other 33 update is from Bloomberg, the headline here, Pfizer boosts forecast for vaccine sales to $33.5 billion.
Wow. And I'm surprised. I thought it would be more, but, you know, I guess they got to get the number right. I'm sure they can finagle things here and there, taxes, whatever, you know, to make it that 33 billion.
And this is also, this story anyway was published before the third booster shot thing, which we'll get into in a moment. So I don't know if that affects the sales number or not, but there you go. A couple of 33s in the news and all related to, uh, to the jab and, you know, the panty. Yeah.
You know, interesting piece of language here in this Pfizer article. Pfizer Inc now expects its COVID-19 vaccine to bring in 33.5 billion in revenue this year, putting it on course to become one of the best selling medicines of all time. That's interesting. Look, even besides, you know, the current experimental nature of a brand new, uh, technology, is it a medicine?
I don't know. But even old school vaccines, are they considered medicines? I don't know. I think they're very specifically not considered medicines, but I don't know.
I'm not a doctor. Yeah. Well, whatever, whatever, you know, because, uh, Hollywood has died, they need to move some of the awards and everything. We've already started to see how it's moving into different areas like politics with a Cuomo winning a, uh, what was it, an Academy Award or something for his performance?
Uh, Grammy. Oh, sorry. Any, any, yeah. That's Academy Awards, right?
That's the name of the award is the Emmy, but isn't that part of the Academy? Anyway, uh, I don't know. I don't think so, but I don't know. Uh, but it would be interesting, you know, if we start having like the, the Academy Award of medicine and, you know, record Pfizer breaks record, you know, 30, 30 years they already exist, but they turn them into a big public like, let's see glam show with a red carpet and everything.
Yeah. Yeah. That'd be hilarious. Wow.
Anyway, there you go. Uh, and, uh, let's just get into the waxing pandemic stuff because there's a lot of stuff going on. Okay. Okay.
Let's see. How do you want to start this off? Things are, things are getting rowdy around the world. Guys.
Yeah. People are not having it. And, uh, maybe we'll start off with this Fox news article, the headline, Germany protesters slam unbearable level of arrogance as lockdown fears loom. Thousands turned out in Berlin on Sunday to protest the German governments anti coronavirus measures, despite a ban on the gatherings leading to clashes with police and the detention of some 600 protesters.
Holy smokes. Local authorities had banned several different protests this weekend, including one from the Stulte-Gard based cordedent gar movement, but protesters in Berlin defied the ban. Berlin's police department deployed more than 2000 officers to try to disperse the protests, but it said officers who sought to redirect protesters or disband larger groups were quote, harassed and attacked. They, quote, they tried to break through the police cordon and pull out our colleagues.
Berlin police said adding that officers had to use irritants and batons, irritants, but it's kind of a word. So much nicer than it's here to gas and mace. Do you see this? Gosska music.
Do you see the photo of this lady protesting wearing the bucket on his head or her head? It is fantastic. I would wear that. What that means.
But hopefully it's, uh, okay for the show. It's fine. Why would it be bad? It's Fox News.
I'm just saying there's a bunch of German words on there. I don't know what she's saying. Say absolutely safe against the stupidity virus. Yeah.
I guess that could flag the YouTubes into the overlords, a little bit of my trigger. Yeah. Uh, but anyway, I mean, the big point is this is enormous. We finally seen, uh, some of these protests making a little bit of coverage in the news.
Of course, last week we saw that they were, uh, sort of soft pedaling the reporting on these things, but you look at these pictures. There's a hundred thousand people, easy. Um, and 600 arrests. Uh, that is, that's a lot of people.
That's a lot of people. Uh, yeah. And the bucket lady is standing there. There's another photo where the, you know, these guys and riot gear, they're like, they have some girl in a head, I don't know if it's a headlocker trying to protect.
I can't tell, but the, uh, the photo makes up. Like Gons. Yes, Gons. Those police are just consoling that young woman.
They just hugging her because she's so sad about the protest. They could be interpreted as the riot gear. Police are protecting this woman from buckethead here because buckethead is standing next to her with a bell and maybe she's trying to someone with a bell or, but of course, we know better, Gons. Or, oh, yes.
Or, yeah. The other way, which is, uh, she's getting grabbed for detainment, which is the more like, especially because in the very next picture, you see a woman being carried by all four limbs by the right. Oh, yeah. Dragged away by the right.
Please. I think she was just tired and they said, we'll make you a human hammock young lady. Please take a rest from your protesting. How come all the photos are women in this Fox report here?
Mm. That's, well, it's more emotional. A true. Yeah.
Very true. More emotional. And you have women in the pictures. And the AP reported on the same story here, Berlin protesters, decry coronavirus measure, 600 detained using similar photos here, actually the exact same photos on a couple occasions.
Um, bucket head, bucket head was the ball. Did you ever listen to bucket head? No, do you know who bucket head is? I know the name.
OK. These are pretty experimental weird guitarist guy. Yeah. Well, speaking of experimental weird guitarist, France is also not having any of it.
This is coming from AP news.com. The headline French police clash with antivirus past protesters in Paris. Thousands of people protested France's special virus pass with marches through Paris and other French cities on Saturday. Most demonstrations were peaceful, but sporadic clashes with riot police marks or marked protests in the French capital, some 3000 security forces.
OK, so more than Germany here deployed around Paris for a third weekend of protests against the past that will be needed soon to enter restaurants in other places. Police took up posts along the Champs-Elysé to guard against an invasion of the famed Avenue. Wow. AP there referring to the Champs-Elysé and using invasion in the same sentence.
They know what they're doing, of course, for those who, uh, have slept in history class, the Champs-Elysé famously had a parade of Nazis when they marched into France there with virus infection, spiking and hospitalizations. Ah, you get the point. Um, interesting here with the pictures, the first picture in of these French protesters has a banner here. Is it Libert?
Liberté? Are we saying French? And then is that not a Palestinian flag flying there? What flag is that?
Mm. Oh, yeah. Is that Iran? Might be Iran.
Let me double check that out. Because again, you pay attention to flags, folks. That's why we, uh, we have the term false flag. Pakistan, we look Pakistan for Palestine.
It's Palestine. I'm sorry. Not Pakistan. Yeah, I meant Palestine.
Yeah, it's a Palestinian flag. OK, so there you go. You got Palestinian flag flying that does kind of make me question the provenance of this photo, but, uh, you know, maybe it's one of the great things about protesting in France. You can just bring whatever flag you want.
Yeah. Well, plenty of people have the French flag and, you know, there's people holding up signs that there's a statue of liberty being marched through the streets there. Yeah, everybody got a hand on that ball. Yeah, there's the note of COVID passports.
Uh, you know, not a banner, but the big sign that has the EU logo on there. So, you know, they know what they're rebelling against, but it's fascinating because I was thinking about this yesterday and, um, by the way, people wearing masks, protesting to people with masks. Um, but we're going to see a few more places that are protesting and the overall sentiment of a lot of truth or types is that all people are finally waking up. We're going against the corrupt authoritarian system.
And on one hand, yes, that's true. But on the other hand, if you think about divide and conquer, this is exactly what the elite would want. They wouldn't want, they wouldn't be fun if everybody just laid down and complied. They need a little, a little game, you know, so I think they are welcoming these people protesting and, you know, pushing back a little bit.
And, uh, well, the pushback allows you to enforce with more violence. Yeah. You know, you need the reason to instigate violence. Uh, so, yeah, I mean, again, what are you going to do?
It's nice that finally there's some official reporting going on here and these protests look even larger than even some of the independent, independent media was reporting and it'll probably continue. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, we'll see. Well, where else is it going on guns?
Uh, in Israel, this is the Guardian.com Israel protests against renewed COVID restrictions as cases hit highest in months. Of course, um, you know, Israel being one of the top nations in terms of percentage of people vaccinated. Demonstrators in Tel Aviv expressed anger over reimposed health orders in heavily vaccinated country. Um, let's see, several hundred Israelis have demonstrated in Tel Aviv against new coronavirus restrictions and vaccination as positive cases and hospitalization.
The hospitalizations rise to levels not seen in months. The health ministry reported on Saturday that 2,435 new code cases had been recorded the day before the highest since March, driven by the more contagious delta variant. There were 326 hospitalizations. The highest since April, although well below the January peak where more than 2,000 people were being hospitalized.
Wow. 326 hospitalizations in the entire country. Yeah. And they're they're locking stuff down.
Yeah. Um, let's see. Uh, the rise in infection is a step back after Israel's world leading vaccine campaign drove down to COVID-19 cases from 10,000 a day to a few, within a hundred protesters on Saturday flew a banner that read, there is no pandemic. It's a con.
They held up the placards denouncing coronavirus vaccines with one poster linking vaccine to the Nazis. But of course, in Israel too. So you can't can't silence that unless you want to be called the Nazi yourself. Uh, yeah.
So there you go. Israel and this at the heels also of Israel rolling out the booster for Pfizer. This is a business insider article. Israel will roll out a booster dose of the Pfizer bioin tech, COVID-19 vaccine to older people citing a drop in protection against severe disease driven driven by the Delta variants.
And I actually had a clip in terms of the placing on our notes, Basil. It's a little bit off because it's under the USA thing. But I might as well play here because it's, uh, it's relevant. This is the Pfizer chairman and CEO talking about the booster shot on CNBC.
This is Albert Borla. There is a waning of the efficacy. I said, what is just printed today, the data from our main study that was from the original virus on the Delta variant. And it was the first month was 97% the second month was 90% unfortunately.
And the 46 months was approximately 84. We have seen also data from Israel, but there is a waning of immunity and that starts impacting what used to be 100% against hospitalization. Now, in the six months period is becoming low 90s, mid to high 80s. But the good news is that we are very, very confident that the third dose booster will take up the immune response to levels that will be enough to protect against the Delta variant.
And we are about, but it will not. No, I say he's saying he's saying it's going to boost anti bodies five X against Delta than the two doses. Yes. That's what I'm saying.
It's like, Oh my gosh, just tell them what they want to hear. Oh, it's ridiculous. I mean, it makes me angry that they're just according to the studies or whatever, but it's bull hockey. Yeah.
I'd love to see the studies on that. Yeah. Unfortunately, if only they made it public. Well, you missed out on Friday because the CDC did come out with their study and it was actually citing one location in Massachusetts, I think, as they're a primary, you know, place of data, but it was only a few hundred people, you know, and I point it out for which study this was a.
It was a it was like, yeah, the Delta variant. Yes, the Delta variant. And part of the issue is that they're not, and I think there was some language we covered on Friday to coming out of stories and see everything else where they're not testing every single positive case for Delta. You know, they're doing samples and then they're just extracting it, you know, they're like, Oh, it's a delta here.
So most everyone must have Delta. So, you know, it's. So this wasn't the 97% study. I mean, I guess it was part of it, but it's, I don't know.
I'm as confused as it was it. It can't be both. Well, apparently it was, but they didn't really run with that part of the thing. It was more about the Delta variant and how it's more contagious.
It's just as contagious as chicken box and people that the big story that CNN even published was that even if you are vaccinated, you can you can transmit the Delta variant because it is so contagious, but still get your vaccine because you know, you won't die or whatever. So it's weird. Now they're calling for the six, you know, as we've been talking about since April 2020, you know, you get your booster shot, you get your system upgrade and you got to join the subscription list to make sure you get your new vaccine every six months there because well, there's a lot of theories behind it. But one convenient theory is just that there's a new variant every six months new variant.
You got to get the new thing. You're locked in and join your get your COVID subscription plan, your vaccine subscription plan. Yeah. And this is.
Yeah. There's a few more seconds here. This clip. But about two weeks of production by me, of August, we will submit those data to the FDA and hopefully we will get approved.
And then once those data are approved, this is the same. We'll make their own decision. It's interesting because Pfizer appeals to the FDA and the CDC to make the final call on the booster shots. You know, we'll just provide the data and it'll be up to the seed.
It's like protection for the company, you know, which is not surprising. That's been the case this whole time is they have this immunity. You know, the people can die or develop cysts in their arms, but nobody gets to sue Pfizer. Yeah.
Well, just continuing on the protest train here. The times of Israel. Wait, did we just do this? No, European protesters compare vaccine passes to Holocaust and apartheid.
Verona, Italy, shouts of Liberty have echoed through the streets and squares of this is from the times of Israel. OK, don't remember fair. Mention that shouts of Liberty have echoed through the streets and squares of Italy and France as thousands show their opposition to plans to require vaccination cards for normal social activities, such as dining indoors at restaurants, visiting museums or cheering in sports stadiums. I like I was specifically cheering in sports stadiums.
Oh, you can't say going to go there. You just can't cheer. You can really want to go. You can do all day long.
But if you cheer, I'll rest with many comparing restrictions to the oppression of the Jews under Nazi Germany. Leaders in both countries see the cards dubbed the green pass in Italy and the health pass in French and France as necessary to boost vaccination rates and persuade the undecided. Persuade such a gentle word that they use there. Italian premier Mario Drogi, like into the anti vaccination message from some political leaders to quote, an appeal to die.
The looming requirement is working with vaccination requests booming in both countries. Still, there are pockets of resistance by those who see it as a violation of civil liberties, civil liberties, or have concerns about vaccine safety. About 80,000 people protested in cities across Italy last weekend, while thousands have marched in Paris for the past three weekends at times, clashing with police. More than 200,000 marched across France on Saturday, 14,000 of them in Paris in the biggest show yet, etc, etc.
So there we go. We've got a where we got them now, Germany, France, Israel, Italy, all over the place. It's a rowdy time over there in Europe. It's interesting because this whole article has, because it's the Times of Israel, so they're going to have this particular angle, but they have photos of people holding up the star of David's shaped yellow star.
Yeah. And it says they want us like this in reference as you were reading there to the Nazi situation. But it's fascinating. I think it's almost like they are not forced, but they're sort of pushing the people to be in compliance with the anti-Semitic sentiment.
Like, hey, you did this to the Jews once. You guys are after the same way. You know, it's interesting because the reference to the yellow star, of course, there's been some American politicians and other people. You get canceled if you compare anything to anything to the Holocaust, unless it's Trump, who's a literally Hitler.
But you compare anything else to the yellow star or the Holocaust or anything, you get canceled in the US and maybe probably rightly so in a lot of cases. But it's a little bit harder to cancel, you know, 100,000 people marching down the streets in Israel, claiming the same thing. Yeah. Yeah, especially if they're in defiance or in in aligned with the general sentiments of the Jews.
Right. And, you know, in the UK, there are certain people that are immune. I thought this was interesting. The telegraph headline.
Immune to coronavirus. Immune to the to the vaccine. OK, they're immune to the vaccine. That's great news.
Compulsory workplace vaccination rules cannot apply to vegans. What? Yeah. Compulsory vaccination rules cannot apply to vegans.
Well, hey, it's luck. We have a tough decision to make guns. More than half a million vegans will be exempt if companies introduce compulsory vaccination rules in Britain because their beliefs are protected by employment law legal experts have said. So-called ethical veganism was ruled to be a protected characteristic at a tribunal last year, meaning employers would risk legal action if they order staff to be vaccinated.
Other people in protection categories, also likely to be protected by human rights laws, includes some religious groups as well as people with certain disabilities or medical conditions. You know, this is- They give a reason? What's in the vaccine? We got some bacon grease in there?
What's the deal? You know, they don't really say. I don't know. OK.
I think, let's see. Let me just do a quick. Sherrile writes, advocate of the vegan society says she's received a heart queries from vegans who do not wish to take the vaccine or worried about their employment situation. They're very affected psychologically to have to confront this dilemma.
You know, I don't know if it's anything other than they want the people to stop eating meat, right? They want to move to all the the fake meat stuff, the world government food. No, wait, hold on. I just searched, is there bacon in vaccines?
Oh, gosh. There's not. Maybe it's a testing in animals. That's what I was wondering.
The more ever- Where exactly does the veganism thing intersect? I think maybe there. The animal testing. That could be.
That makes sense anyway on the surface there. Yeah. And it just points to philosophical stuff. And I don't know.
I don't really know. All I know is that if you don't have to get the jab, if you're a if you're vegan in Britain or at least some kind of protection. Well, you know, and this speaks to what the what was it? The Pew poll that we reference all the time where it was 41% of anti-vaxxers or vaxx-resistance, vaxx-hesitant were Democrats in the US and 39% were Republicans.
It looks like there's more of a case to be made if you're a vegan than if you're, you know, have some sort of religious objection. That's what's the interesting thing. It's like, I think they're going to have to accept certain people who don't want it under the conditions that are acceptable. So you have people that have medical things or, you know, someone just texted me some screenshots today.
You mean, you mean because the vegan thing fits in with the great reset, the climate change, of course, the beyond meat. Yeah, you're helping the climate. So that's good for humanity. Right.
Right. There's a drummer named Pete Parada. He played for the offspring, saves the day, face to face. He's like a punk rock drummer.
He's not going to be going on tour with the bands or the band. I can't remember which one he's playing for now, but because he has a medical condition. Julian Barr, am I pronouncing that right? Julian Barr.
Yeah. So he has people get it from the vaccine. Yes. So he's not eligible to get the vaccine because he suffers from Julian Barr already.
And so he will not be touring and he's going to be, you know, just separated from the band members and people. He's still pushing the vaccine. He's saying, Hey, get it. But I can't participate with the tour for the safety of everybody else.
So I think this is interesting. What an interesting irony. Yeah, it's setting the precedent for, you know, the acceptable people who will not or cannot get vaccinated. Well, I feel so bad for them, but also go over there.
You know, you cannot participate with the rest of the society. Yeah. Well, depending on his financial situation, he may have been looking for a way out. It could be.
It could be tough touring sometimes. He's like, Oh man, I'm getting old for this. Give me a reason to stay home. I don't know.
Did you see a lot of blues? That thing was a super spreader event if there was one. I did not see. Oh my gosh.
Huge crowds and Foo Fighters are playing up there and what were they protesting? They weren't protesting. They were just just the lollapalooza. Oh, because you're not allowed to be out protesting because there's COVID, but I guess lollapalooza is funny.
Yeah. Yeah. There were some people talking about all. It could be a super spreader, but nothing too harsh because it's all the people in compliance to the system.
But people were sharing pictures of Fred Durst from a little band called Limp Biscuit. Do you remember Limp Biscuit, Basil? If you saw this picture of Fred Durst, you'd be like, Oh man, we are old. We are old people now.
Fred Durst walking out with just a big, head full of gray hair. It was great. Fantastic. And he's still up there.
You know, he's like, yeah. He's living the dream. Well, I got another angle here for you. Uh, coming from YIO news.
Why on? Why on? Why on earth? I'm familiar.
OK, that line is block Sims, social media accounts of unvaccinated people. Pakistan's sin to government asks and C O C. And what could be termed now? We saw this in a different country earlier this year, but the idea seems to be spreading.
It goes like this. And what could be termed as a harsh measure to encourage vaccination? The Pakistan's National Command and Operations Center has been asked officially by the regional sinned government to block the mobile phone Sims and social media accounts of unvaccinated users on Saturday, a report by the news said, Oh, the news in capitals. The sinned government has apprised the national coordinator of the NCOC and a letter about the decision of the blocking of mobile Sims.
It was taken during the provincial Corona task force meeting, which was held under the chairmanship of chief minister at Marad Ali Shah, the task force recommended Sims blocking in a phased manner. In first, a warning message will be issued by the government after it. Blocking of social media accounts will be carried out in the next phase. The outgoing calls will be blocked.
And in the end, the Sim will be completely blocked until inoculation. Oh, my God. So dystopian. So you shall be locked until the end of the nation.
I like the separation between blocking the outgoing calls before they block it entirely. Like no one can hear you scream. Well, this is interesting too, because, you know, if people start protesting the streets, which I don't know if they will, Pakistan, but if they do, then nobody will know. You protest in the streets once in Pakistan.
You are not given a second chance. Well, plus nobody will know because nobody's going to be able to share it or live stream it because all there is so much social media blocked, some cards blocked. Yeah. So this is getting ahead of the curve there.
Yeah. Um, let me see here. This is almost finished. The letter reads, quote, it is therefore requested that the Pakistan telecommunication authority be directed to take necessary measures accordingly for a successful vaccination drive to break the transmission chain of COVID-19.
Earlier, advisors to chief minister, Murtaza Wahhab had tweeted about the Pakistan government's plan to write to the NCOC and the PTA on blocking the Sam's, you know, well, that's what you get when you have nationalized telecommunications. Yeah. So there you go. Pakistan following the footsteps of some other countries there in Thailand.
This is Thailand politics in, uh, Shanghai times.com. Thai media outlets demand government revise news restrictions. Uh, and let me give you everybody a low. You got it again.
Thai media outlets demand government revise news restrictions. So this is, this is the media outlets. Imagine, imagine the CNNs and the MSNBCs, MSNBCs protesting the government. Yeah.
So, okay. So let me just give you a low down here. Six local news media organizations in Thailand are threatening to step up illegal actions and social pressures on the government. If it refuses to lift what they allege are restrictions on media freedom, representatives of the organizations handed an open letter to prime minister, Priya Chan Ocha at government house, government spokesmen, uh, Anucha, Bara Pacharayi, Sri.
Oh my gosh. I probably said that right. Accepted the letter on the prime minister's behalf. They comprise the national press council of Thailand, the news, I don't know all the news agencies there.
Uh, the move came after Jen Priyut on Thursday issued an announcement. Well, hold on. I think this is interesting. I'm sorry.
I don't want to, they comprise the national press council of Thailand, the news broadcasting council of Thailand, the Thai journalists association, the Thai broadcast journalists association, the society for online news providers and the national union of journalists. So the union itself is, uh, it's not so happy about this. It's just, you imagine some bizarro world in which United States journalists, the journalists union, uh, comes out and complains about the government's, uh, censorship. Well, you know, we have a story in the politics section that may, uh, be leading in that direction.
We'll cover it when we get there. Uh, says here, the move came after Jen and Priyut on Thursday issued an announcement banning the distribution of quote, fake news or information causing public fear across all media platforms. And what he says is an effort to stem undermining of the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Uh, they're pulling a, they're pulling a, uh, New Zealand.
Yeah. I mean, this is the government's just saying, nope. Uh, and that, and I can understand the news agencies and journalists are like, Hey, wait a minute, we can't even report truth. If it causes public fear based on the government, uh, announcement number 29 signed by the prime minister was published in Thailand's Royal Gazette and issued, da, da, da, da, da.
Um, suppressing, uh, suppressing new media free speech quotes, press, uh, presenting or disseminating news via newspapers or other media with messages that may cause panic among the public or has the intention to distort information that causes misunderstandings in emergency situations that affect the security of the state piece in order or decent public morals is prohibited. The group quoted from the announcement. I mean, who gets to talk about being a moral authority there? Right.
Well, interesting how decent public morals is mixed in. Yeah. So with the vaccination stuff. So later on, it says here that, uh, the, you know, the people protesting that quote, if the prime minister still ignores our calls, all six media organizations will step up legal and social measures to pressure the government to revoke the restriction.
So again, this is why I think, you know, the theme here that we've been seeing with all these countries protesting is the government overstepping their bounds. And in Thailand, the ones protesting are the media, the media step and going, Hey, wait a minute, we're in jeopardy too. Like you can arrest us for just reporting true things if it causes panic, according to your, you know, high and mighty standards. So this is very fascinating.
I think it's again, all sort of coordinated, if you will, to create good for them. Wow. Um, well, speaking of coordinated, I got the story from Calvert journal.com. The headline is Russian entrepreneurs have just launched tattoo QR codes to prove your COVID status.
Dun, dun, dun, oh, no, guns. The mark of the beast QR code people. Yeah. Um, get a notch here.
It goes like this for millions of us scamming, scanning or carrying QR codes has become a staple of pandemic life. But if you're tired of touting your phone every time you want to grab a coffee, then entrepreneur is in Moscow, have a new proposition, getting a QR code as a temporary tattoo. No, I've lost my mouse. Oh, guns.
Aren't you just so tired of having your phone on you whenever you go get coffee? Isn't that just so laborious? Three inch by four inch small. The phone that never leaves your body, uh, any, in any 24 hour period.
So when you bring into the bathroom with you, the one that you, you know, having the shower, watching sports center while you, uh, just have a second to your self-gones, no longer do you need to bring this phone to go get coffee. You can get a QR code on your forehead. That's temporary tattoo. I'm, uh, I'm sorry.
I apologize to the people watching because my mouse just died and it's not moving. And I tried to refresh and power it and whatever. It's just not, I don't know what I'm gonna get those batteries, man. New batteries.
Try to re-plug it. No. Yeah. Food courier service delivery club and ever ink tattoo.
The new service is aimed at Musco vites who need a QR pass to enter bars and restaurants. The link proves that the holder is either fully vaccinated, has a COVID 19 or has had COVID 19 in the past six months or has had a recent negative PCR test. The new measures came into force in the rushing capital on the 23rd of June, amid record daily COVID 19 infection rates and a very low vaccine uptake with just 13% of Russia's population being fully vaccinated. Oh, no.
Look at those numbers, 13%. Okay. Okay. How are you doing?
Okay. So you sort of pitifully monday. It's bad. I don't know what's happening.
All right. Here we go. Okay. Yes, we're good.
Yes. All right. Back here we go. Uh, let's see here where was I to speed up the country's vaccination drive.
The Russian government has resorted to measures to incentivize people to get themselves vaccinated, ranging from competitions and cash payments to threats of dismissal ever, you know, dismissal. That could mean anything in Putin's Russia moving on ever ink tattoo and delivery club hope that their tattoos will also encourage Russians to get jabbed as well as providing to boost the country's hospitality sector lasting between two and three weeks, the waterproof tattoos come with a catalog of designs with the simple square paired with designs from floral wreaths to wino forever. Oh, why no forever, Gons? Yeah.
