In Sweden, Where There Was No Lockdown, ‘COVID’ Cases & Deaths Have Slowed to a Trickle

from prisonp;anet.com

 

Confounding claims by many that its open society approach to coronavirus would spectacularly backfire, Sweden, which didn’t enforce any mandatory lockdown order, has seen its coronavirus cases and deaths slow to a trickle.

null

Back in March, when Sweden announced that it would adopt a different approach to much of the rest of the world by refusing to shut down its economy and instead aim for herd immunity, public health experts and media commentators were aghast at the decision, warning that the country’s hospitals would be overwhelmed with COVID victims.

Summing up the attitude towards Sweden’s approach, Danish journalist Lisbeth Davidsen said it was “like watching a horror movie.”

Fast forward five months and the horror show predicted by many has completely failed to materialize.

While fears of a “second wave” of coronavirus continue to plague other European countries that completely locked down and enforced draconian face mask rules, Sweden has recorded barely a trickle of COVID cases and deaths so far in August.

Antifa Planning Violent Attacks on Police & Opponents, Say German Authorities

from Breitbart Europe

BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 01: A demonstrator waves a antifascist flag during the 'Revolutionary 1st of May' May Day protest in Kreuzberg district on May 1, 2017 in Berlin, Germany.

German security authorities have claimed that members of the far-left Antifa movement are preparing attacks on police officers and political opponents, including potential assassinations.

The Antifa movement in Germany and its 50 supporting groups across the country are becoming increasingly more violent, according to a report from the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution seen by Focus magazine. They are also believed to be plotting targetted attacks.

Authorities are also concerned over allegations that some German Antifa members have travelled to northern Syria to undertake combat training with the left-wing Kurdish militia, the YPG, Focus reports.

Breitbart London has reported on Antifa links to the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the past in Germany.  In 2018, Antifa extremists admitted to firebombing a Turkish mosque in Kassel linked to the far-right Turkish Grey Wolves, an enemy of the PKK.

Earlier this year, Hamburg constitutional Judge Cornelia Ganten-Lange was linked to both Antifa and the PKK, having given lectures at the Antifa “Rote Flora” squat on representing PKK terror group members.

In June in Austria, members of the Grey Wolves clashed with both Antifa and members of the PKK in Vienna in the heavily migrant-populated Favoriten district … Continue reading >>>

Germany’s ruling party split over how to respond to AfD

Germany’s Christian Democrat party (CDU) is as deeply divided as Britain’s Labour Party over how to respond to the upsurge of nationalism. Facing a serious challenge from the nationalist (but not far right please, they are not that,) Alternative for Germany party (AFD) the CDU seems pitifully unprepared for departure of the Chancellor Merkel at a point when Germany its facing most serious political and economic crisis for decades.

German Green Party Urges Allowing 140 Million “Climate Refugees” To Migrate To West

And the case that the 50 million climate refugees that were predicted tTo descend on the west, having been displaced by rising sea levels are apparently all hiding under Harry Potter’s Cloak of Invisibility is ignored.

Dutch Government Rejects Mandatory Masking: ‘No Proven Effectiveness’

The Hague, 30 July 2020:

The government of The Netherlands announced today that public that there will be no legal requirement on people to wear masks in public spaces as a measure to slow the spread of COVID – 19 coronavirus. The announcement from the nation’s capital stated that the effectiveness of mandatory masking of citizens remains unproven.


Netherlands unmasked – Picture: Olaf Kraak, AFP / Getty

The Dutch Minister for Medical Care Tamara van Ark said the decision had been made after a review of evidence for and against masking by the country’s National Institute for Health (RIVM).

The official advice for preventing spread of the virus from person to person is for better adherence to social distancing rules. After confirmed coronavirus cases spiked over the past seven days, Reuters reports Van Ark told at a press conference in The Hague “Because from a medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks, the Cabinet has decided that there will be no national obligation for wearing non-medical masks.”

RIVM chief Jaap van Dissel conceded that  masks are known to help slow the spread of disease in hospital situations where especially vulnerable people are involved or in crowd situations such as on public transport, but remained unconvinced they will do anything to counter coronavirus outbreaks in the Netherlands.

He argued wearing masks incorrectly, together with worse adherence to social distancing rules that the false confidence masks give to wearers, could increase the risk of transmitting the disease.

The decision followed a meeting of health and government officials after new coronavirus cases in the country rose to 1,329 in the past week, an increase of more than a third. The case level has since flattened out.

As Breitbart Europe has reported, the Dutch response to the pandemic has been differen to most of Europe. Shops and businesses have remained open and families walk and  cycle together to picnics or beisure outings in the sunny summer weather the Netherlands is enjoying. The government describes its actions as an “intelligent lockdown” to meet the coronavirus threat. Sports events, theatres and music venues and other activities which put people in close proximity have been closed but businesses have remained open.

In contrast to most other European countries where people were ordered to remain housebound for months at a time, the Dutch authorities merely advised people to stay home if possible and to keep 1.5 metres (five feet) of social distance.

The Dutch position — very similar to Sweden’s, which has been attacked by control freakery fans  — also reflects a wider philosophical split in both Europe and the world on how to balance the need to control the disease against the catastrophic economic and broader societal damage caused by harsh lockdowns.

While critic’s of Sweden’s limited lockdown and decision to keep the economy running have gleefully pointed to the fact that statistics for deaths and infections in Sweden have been similar to elsewhere in Europe they omit to mention that the vast majority of Swedish cases have occurred in migrant dominated suburbs where people live in crowded conditions and where advice on social distancing and minimising contact has largely been ignored.

Russia-led Nord Stream 2 Gas Pipeline Nearing Completion

Here’s some news that is bound to piss off the american deep state which, as we’ve reported in the past has been a thorn in the side of successive American administrations.

Authored by Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,
picture: Oil Price.com

A Russian vessel capable of completing the pipelaying for the Gazprom-led Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline project left a German port on Wednesday and entered Danish waters where the last section of the controversial pipeline has yet to be completed.

According to vessel-tracking data from Refinitiv Eikon cited by Reuters, Russian ship Fortuna, sailing under a Russian flag, departed from the Mukran port in Germany on the Baltic Sea and moved into Danish territorial waters.

The move comes several days after the Danish Energy Agency allowed Nord Stream 2 AG to use pipelaying vessels with anchors for the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipelines. The Danish agency previously allowed self-positioning pipelaying vessels (DP pipe-laying vessels) in the construction permit for the Nord Stream 2 pipelines.

With an anchored Russian vessel, Gazprom could complete the construction of the pipeline in Danish waters. Because of the U.S. sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 project from December, Western vessel and technology providers pulled out of the project.

Following the announcement of the sanctions, Switzerland-based offshore pipelay and subsea construction company Allseas immediately suspended Nord Stream 2 pipelay activities …Continue reading >>>

Europe’s Ambitious $140 Billion Hydrogen Plan Leaked

We’ve been telling you since we stated this blog on a different platform back on 2005 that climate change was a hoax, the real agenda was about power, money and control. Thus we have published many blogs and articles stating that wind and solare, for about a million reasons, the first hundred thousand or so of them blarantly obvious, were simply not viable solutions.

It seems we were not the only ones who thought so, the leaders of the EU and their advisors on energy policy agred, but did not say so out loud. Until now. Well to be fair, not until now, they would have preferred to keep it quiet for longer but somebody has leaked the real plan …

Authored by Vanand Meliksetian via OilPrice.com,

Europe’s most powerful supranational organization, the European Commission has earmarked the energy transition as one of the most important topics for the coming years. The European Green Deal is one of its most ambitious plans to mobilize at least €1 trillion in public-private investments over the next decade. Recently the highly anticipated hydrogen strategy was leaked revealing how Europe’s top policymakers intend to expand the fuel’s value chain from production to transportation, storage, and consumption.

central ‘theme’ in Europe’s sustainability effort is the decarbonization of its industry, which requires high temperatures currently produced by burning coal and natural gas. Hydrogen is extremely promising as it is applicable throughout the energy value chain. Although production through electrolysis is preferred for sustainable purposes, steam methane reforming is used much more often due to low costs. The EC’s hydrogen strategy intends to tackle these challenges and establish a 40 GW market by 2030.

Imports and energy security

The EU is blessed with the availability of some of the world’s largest hydrocarbon deposits in its near abroad. At the same time, it is a strategic disadvantage that most of these reserves are located in sometimes unfriendly and unstable regions such as North Africa, the Middle East, and former Soviet countries. Energy security is an important topic for a continent that is mostly dependent on imports.

Therefore, strengthening energy security is an important goal by increasing domestic production and reducing dependence on foreign exporters of hydrocarbons. Also, domestic hydrogen production provides an economic stimulus to local energy conglomerates such as Siemens which has made electrolysis-related technologies a top priority … Continue reading >>>

Germany Grabs Control Of The EU?

Today Germany has takenm over the presidency of the Council of the European Union. No big deal, Europe watchers among you might well say — the Presidency rotates every six months between the EU’s member states. The Council of the European Union is not the same as the European Council or the Council of Europe (confused? Wait ’til someone tries to explain why the EU has to have three presidents).

So to step daintily out of the mire that is EU politics, Germany’s turn to be the boss is wholly expected, yet in the current circumstances there is something symbolic about this particular rotation — because the the EU’s biggest and most economically popwerful member is now dominant in all branches of the EU’s opaque administration. Ursula von der Leyen, a protege of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s and former member of Merkel’s government, has the top job: President of the European Commission. In formal terms, she’s the first German in the post since the 1960s. Another Merkel disciple, Martin Selmayr, is General Secretary (i.e. CEO) of the commission. David Sassoli, the Italian president of the European Parliament was put in his position by the support of the European Parliament’s largest grouping, The European People’s Party, which is dominate by the German CDO, Angela Merkel’s party, although Hausfrau Volksfuhrer Merkel does not lead now after a number of election setbacks. In effect Sassoli was Merkel’s preferred candidate.

The presidency of The Council Of Europe (did I mention this is not the same thing as the Council of The European Union?) also passes to each member state in turn and need not concern us unless the turn of the pariah among European leaders, Hungary’s Victor Orban is due soon.

Von der Leyen got the European Commission job because she was the nominee of  European People’s Party (i.e. Chancellor Merkel’s anointed candidate). Ironically, the European people were given no direct say in her elevation; but she had her old boss’s backing, which is what counts.

The reality of the EU can no longer be denied. It is not a union of 27 nations. It is Germany plus 26 satellite states. Even the European Federal Superstate idealists  can no longer credibly deny the evidence.

Merkel, though born in Hamburg, grew up and was educated under the brutally authoritarian communist regime of East Germany. Indoctrinated with Marxist ideology from an early age, she would have us believe she underwent a Damascene conversion to Western Democratic values as the notorious wall fell? Or is she an unrepentant, authoritarian, dogmatic, control freak, poisoned by her upbringing ?

For example how did the German Emissions Scandal/Dieselgate, one of the most sensational frauds in History, take place on her Watch? Were she and her government completely unaware that Germany’s world beating car makers had been conspiring to deceive the the world and pass off the dirtiest fuel available as the cleanest?

Perhaps we should give her the benefit of the doubt, but regardless, it has blown the concept of the Good German, so assiduously nurtured since 1955, clean out of the water. Germany is off on another master race trip as a friend of my family who had worked extensively in Germany predicted in the 1960s they would. Europe is facing a terrible dilemma, as it witnesses the emergence of the nascent Fourth Reich.

What will be interesting now is how the relationship between France and Germany will develop. For decades these nations have collaborated to dominate EU policy and ensure Britain was marginalised. The Germans have always wanted to run Europe and dominating the EU is clearly better than sending jack booted troops in to capital cities.

France does not want to run Europe so long as it is run in a way that does not inconvenience France. To date the Germans have been happy to let France do whatever it likes regardless of any EU rules which might get in the way. But the French will not be happy about ceding control to Germany.

The weaker member states used to look to UK to be the thorn in the side of the Franco – German nexus and lament us leaving them totally at its mercy now. The Germans were upset with us leaving as we were a net contributor to the budget and without us that who else will help bail out southern Europe’s economic basket cases. Chancellor Merkel might gamble on control being worth that price but German taxpayer’s are not, and with Merkel’s coalition government having no majority in the Bundestag, the Chancellor and her party are vulnerable in any crisis.

With the Coronavirus crisis piling on the agony, and the Eurozone economy, already in crisis before the pandemic hit, it is only a matter of time before the house of cards collapses in on itself. The more political and economic distance between UK and the EU when that happens the better. Boris had better stick to his promise of no extension to the transition period and get us out at the earliest possible moment.

A Week Before Election 30% Of German Voters Still Undecided


Polling companies in Germany are indicating that support for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Party is still slipping with the election only one week away.

Between four and five hundred “youths” swarmed the streets of Stuttgart, Germany, attacking police officers and looting businesses in riots the AfD linked to Antifa and mass migration.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, 19 police officers were injured, 40 business were attacked, and nine shops were looted by violent rioters in Stuttgart, following a drug search of a seventeen-year-old German boy by local police.

According to the police in Stuttgart, just 24 of the hundreds of rioters were arrested, seven of whom were under the age of 18. The police said that half of those arrested have German citizenship and the other were foreign nationals, however, the statement did not provide the ethnic backgrounds of the rioters.

The president of the Stuttgart Police, Franz Lutz, claimed that the riots were not political in nature, saying: “From the current perspective, we can rule out left-wing or even political motivation for these acts of violence. It was an unprecedented dimension tonight, from overt violence against police officers and massive property damage to looting,” he said, in comments reported by German tabloid Bild-Zeitung.

Italy Poll: Salvini’s Lega in Solid First Place as Government Totters

As Italy’s left – of – centre coalition government, which lost its majority in the national assembly, and with it the ability to govern the European Union’s third largest, and probably most volatile member state, the Lega party, led by the biggest thorn in the EU’s side, Matteo Salvini, has lengthened its lead over the largest party in the government, according to  the latest national opinion poll on the state of Italian politics, rising to 27 percent, while its main rival the Democratic Party (PD) dropped to below 20 percent.

The progressive PD, captained by Nicola Zingaretti, dropped ,  to 19.5 percent, while the left of centre Eurosceptic party Five-Star Movement, likely to be wiped out in forthcoming elections because of the way they sold out to Brussels and joined a coalition of Eurofederalist parties after their partnership with Legal broke up, rose slightly to 16 percent . To the right of Italian politics, likely coalition partners for Lega, Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia (FDI – Brothers of Italy) dropped to 13.9 percent and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party fell to 6 percent.

Matteo Renzi’s Italia Viva party saw a 0.3 increase, bringing the fledgling group up to 3 percent but are unlikely to make a significant impact in an election.

The survey was published on June 1 by the leading opinion polling organisation SWG market research group for the Italian television news channel TG La7.

According to another survey, by the Istituto Noto, Italians feel growing mistrust towards the government, mainly because of the economic, political, and social measures implemented during the health emergency. The overall approval rating for the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte’s coalition has fallen dramatically to 36 percent and protesters around the country, complaining about the economic damage caused by Conte’s stringent lockdown measures have called for his resignation.

As mistrust toward the national government has increased, Italians are expressing a growing appreciation of their regional governments, and talking about decentralisation the survey found.

As Breitbart reported, Italians are at the end of their tether with delays in lifting restrictions after a draconian lockdown that crippled the Italian economy and left millions of Italians with no income at all.

A government survey of Italians found anger at the current government the predominant emotion since the lockdowns began in early March. As Italians feel more confident  that the COVI|D 19 virus poses no great threat to the vast majority of people. Government minister have admitted that over 90% of Italians who died in the epidemic were over 70 years of age and 99% had ongoing health problems. Anger is also rising over the apparent inability of government to restore normal conditions and kickstart the economy.

Migrant Youths Riot In Paris Again, Attack Police With Fireworks

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

Migrant youths rioted in Paris yet again last night, attacking police with fireworks in response to the death of of a teen motorcyclist.

The disorder began after the death of 18-year-old Sabri Choubi, who was killed after ramming into a pole while not wearing a helmet on the northern outskirts of Paris on Saturday evening.

However, migrants in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil blamed police for the teen’s death and for the past two nights have been bombarding riot cops with fireworks and other missiles.

Police responded by firing tear gas at gangs who had gathered near public housing estates before arresting six people. Migrant youths set three cars alight, burned 20 dumpsters and apparently tried to set a local police station on fire by bombarding it with Molotov cocktails.

Police claimed migrants were merely using Choubi’s death as an excuse to violate the country’s lockdown order and express their frustrations. As previously reported, areas of Paris and other departments throughout the country were hit by four nights of consecutive rioting last month following a similar incident where migrants blamed police for the accidental death of a motorcyclist.

The media described the unrest as “anti-lockdown riots,” but this disguised the true nature of what happened and the fact that migrant riots have now become commonplace in Paris and other major French cities due to unfettered mass migration and a total lack of integration.

Two-Thirds of Italians Fear Riots, Social Unrest Over Coronavirus

from Breitbart Europe

Nearly two-thirds of Italians now fear the country could see riots and social violence in the wake of the Wuhan coronavirus, while trust in politicians has reached single-digit lows.

The alarming figures were published in a poll conducted by Euromedia Research this week, and claimed that 65 per cent of Italians feared that the country, especially in the north which has been the hardest hit region by the Chinese virus, could see social tensions and rioting in the country’s industrial heartlands.

Alessandra Ghisleri, director of Euromedia Research, commented on the results saying, “After a hundred days of lockdown, Italians are beginning to be afraid: seven out of ten fear that the economic crisis will detonate social uprisings, especially in the North. Only five out of a hundred say they still have faith in politicians,” Il Giornale reports.

“The real issue is that confidence in Italian politicians today is at 4.6 per cent,” Ghisleri said and referenced the “Vaffanculo-Days” (“Fuck-off Days”) that were organised by Five Star Movement founder Beppe Grillo in 2007 the last time Italian confidence in politicians was recorded as so low … Continue reading >>>
