Australia is about as crazy as Austria when it comes to these China virus lockdowns. ‘If you’re living in Austria and haven’t been vaccinated, hunker down: draconian COVID-19 lockdowns have returned.
Beginning today, unvaccinated residents over age 12 cannot leave their homes unless headed directly to work or purchasing essential items.
The lockdown is planned for at least 10 days and will not apply to those vaccinated against coronavirus or those who have recently recovered from it.
“In reality, we have told one-third of the population: You will not leave your apartment anymore apart from for certain reasons,” Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said Sunday. “That is a massive reduction in contacts between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.”
This stems from Europe, despite all its authoritarian mandates, resuming its role as the epicenter of the global pandemic, prompting governments to reimpose unpopular lockdowns.
Austria has one of the continent’s highest infection rates, with a seven-day range of 815 cases per 100,000 people.
Interior Minister Karl Nehammer also warned that police will be checking people’s vaccination status. Anyone disobeying the lockdown can be fined up to €1,500 Euros, which is a hefty sum.
This sure makes me want to abide by Allison Schrager’s recent Bloomberg column, urging us to be more like those wonderful Europeans.
The lockdown effectively extends and increases the restrictions Austria introduced Nov. 5 that banned any unvaccinated citizen from visiting restaurants, hotels, theaters, and other public venues.
The heavy-handed edict affects about one-third of Austrians.
Of the roughly 9 million residents in Austria, approximately 6 million have received their first vaccine dose, while about 5.3 million residents are fully vaccinated, according to information from the World Health Organization.
Austria is the first European country to reinstate similar restrictions to those applied during national lockdowns before COVID-19 vaccines were available.’https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/ari-j-kaufman/2021/11/15/you-will-not-leave-austria-returns-to-lockdowns-n1532987?utm_source=pjmedia&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&bcid=5a05e186fc85b30f55c28204f849862c04192d97b134e516f76782809875c086&recip=26169367
‘Diversity, equity, inclusion; this has been the mantra of United Airlines. United pilots Stephanie and Kyle Atteberry thought the company meant it.
“United has been great to us,” Kyle, 45, told The Epoch Times. He recalls receiving blankets from the company as gifts when their six children were born. “Our expectations were, United would honor our faith.”
Kyle and wife Stephanie, 40, live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Their jobs, flying Boeing 767 and 757 aircraft, routinely took them around the world until Oct. 1, the last day United allowed them to fly.
The couple is not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. They are among the 2,000 United employees who requested reasonable accommodations through medical or religious exemptions from the vaccine mandate. As an accommodation, United placed them on unpaid leave indefinitely. The 2,000 employees are part of Airline Employees 4 Health Freedom, a group legally challenging being placed on unpaid leave.
“They’ve already shown us what a reasonable accommodation looks like, because we’ve been doing it for a year and a half,” Kyle said. “Now they say I’m unsafe to come to work?”
While President Joe Biden announced in September mandatory vaccines for certain workers, United was already signaling in May that it was moving to a mandatory vaccine program.
In May, the company sent employees a letter with an incentive offer: pay for 13 hours of flight time, amounting to $2,600, for those who got vaccinated. And there was a penalty: those who did not get the shot would not be able to fly to as many international destinations. That means less work available for the unvaccinated. From there, the list of countries unvaccinated pilots could not fly to grew, until Germany was the only international place where the Atteberrys could fly.
Now they are both on unpaid leave.
“I feel betrayed by the airline that says it is all about love and respect, and yet here we are being sidelined. And seeing other airlines accommodating their employees—it’s frustrating,” Kyle said.
The stress of working through the situation has loomed over them for months.
“It’s like a decay in my bones—like a shakiness in my soul,” Stephanie told The Epoch Times. “But that has gone away as the Lord has provided an amazing sense of peace for me.”’https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/grounded-by-vaccine-exemption-married-united-pilots-feel-betrayed_4098925.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-11-15-2&mktids=7bd3d1c5a3011b41e32df94b71f7907b&est=OpQ5bAtp89Epg8J0mq2VjsaNBm6cDuKxvWcTrpWqq2FW%2FF%2FolhvOeKLlwMH6xKdHYA%3D%3D
How in the world did we get to the place where these social media giants became guardians of what they believe is the TRUTH? Yes, ‘YouTube has temporarily suspended Sen. Ron Johnson again over COVID-19 “misinformation.” This time, he was suspended over remarks about COVID deaths and vaccine injuries.
“The updated figures today are 17,619,” Johnson said. “That is 225 times the number of deaths in just a 10-month period versus an annual figure for the flu vaccine. These vaccine injuries are real.”
Critics of the Biden administration guidelines surrounding the pandemic, like Sen. Johnson, often claim the government exaggerates the number of deaths and also claim that the government suppresses the deaths caused by the vaccines.
In a statement, a YouTube spokesperson said: “We craft our policies to reduce the risk of real-world harm, updating them as official guidance evolves, and we consider the context of a video to make exceptions that balance open discussion of people’s experiences with preventing the spread of harmful misinformation.”
YouTube added that a shorter version of the video that does not contain the controversial remarks is still available.
Following the ban, Sen. Johnson released a statement accusing Big Tech of censoring the truth:
“Once again Big Tech is censoring the truth. Why won’t they let the vaccine injured tell their stories and medical experts give a second opinion? Why can’t we discuss the harmful effects of mandates? Apparently, the Biden administration and federal health agencies must not be questioned. How many more lives will be needlessly destroyed?”
The conservative senator has previously been suspended from YouTube for claiming hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for COVID-19. In response to the ban at the time, he said:
“YouTube’s ongoing COVID censorship proves they have accumulated too much unaccountable power.”’https://reclaimthenet.org/youtube-censors-senator-ron-johnson-again/
Is there any doubt they (Government and Big Tech) want to silence us (conservatives)? https://www.brighteon.com/e52b129a-5b38-4105-84d6-b4346b5289fa

Not surprisingly, ‘Facebook, Twitter and other big tech companies actually want standardized Internet speech regulations. In fact, Facebook has been spending millions of dollars on ads that openly call for more government regulation of speech on the Internet. You can view an example of what I am talking about right here. At first glance, it may seem odd that Facebook wants more government regulation of the tech industry, but it actually makes perfect sense. If the federal government is the one making the rules, Facebook and the other big tech companies can legally censor you into oblivion without ever having to worry about any legal consequences. And then because all other social media platforms in existence will have to follow the exact same rules, there will be nowhere else for you to turn. There won’t be any “free speech alternatives” to Facebook and Twitter, because all of those “alternatives” will be forced to apply the same speech standards that Facebook and Twitter and applying.’http://endoftheamericandream.com/
And we were led to believe Hitler was dead!
‘The Austrian government is meeting over the weekend with the intent of imposing a nationwide lockdown on unvaccinated citizens, and at least two provinces are slated to be under such orders starting Monday.
Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said Friday that he and regional leaders would get together on Sunday to discuss the plans, and that “The aim is very clear: that we give the green light this Sunday for a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated,” the Associated Press reported.
Regardless of whether the federal government approves the lockdown for the unvaccinated to apply to the entire country, unvaccinated residents in the provinces of Upper Austria and Salzburg will be under lockdown beginning Monday and will only be allowed to leave their homes for necessities such as buying groceries or going to doctor’s appointments.
Unvaccinated Austrians are already banned from going to events that have 25 or more attendees, and have also been prohibited from going to hairdressers or most restaurants under rules that went into effect this week.
Roughly 65% of Austrians are vaccinated for COVID-19, which is the same average for the population of the entire European Economic Area according to European Union data, Reuters reported.’https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/austria-set-to-impose-nationwide-lockdown-for-unvaccinated/ar-AAQE5P2?cvid=e1b1e52ef8af4ffab37b698b64cd992c&ocid=winp1taskbar
Australia is the same. Apartheid is alive and well in these Communist/Marxist leaning nations! When the CCP takes over it will not be such a shock to the system.
