Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski won his appeals case against the Alberta Health Services (AHS) for being fined, arrested, and jailed during Canada’s Covid-19 lockdown.

That represents the highest year-on-year increase since records began being collected in 2001. In an attempt to deflect the elephant in the living room, the ONS insisted that there are “many complex factors” to consider in explaining the deaths.

Some condemned them because they believed it was reckless and others condemned them because they saw it as a failure to submit to the governing authorities as Scripture commands Christians to do. Grace Community Church's belief was that the county...

Spain’s top court has ruled that the country’s national COVID-19 lockdown was unconstitutional following a lawsuit filed by the populist Vox party. “While leaving intact most of the state of emergency’s terms, the court said that the key articles ordering the population off the streets except for shorts trips for shopping and unavoidable commutes for work and other official business were unconstitutional,” reports the Associated Press. “According to TVE, the ruling said that the limitations on movement violated citizens´ basic rights and therefore the state of emergency was insufficient to give them constitutional backing. The six magistrates said that a...

'In Canada, you cannot speak against the regime. It's like in China.

The woman is told that she is being arrested for failing to provide her name and address. ... Once a person has been targeted for not wearing a mask or violating any...

It proved just how fast our formerly free Republic can be brought down if we ignore the enemy within. Took just a few months to take down the economy, then allow the marxists, fascists and anarchists free rein to loot, destroy and burn down our cities as the complicit democrat mayors and governors order the police to stand down as they urge on the violence and mayhem. Trump is the only thing standing between us and totalitarianism. A few more months of lockdown coupled with massive ballot fraud, and Trump is gone. And our Republic is no more.
