There is a worldwide awakening that is being suppressed by the media. We are not going to let this tyranny continue. We are done with the lies. It is now time to take our Country back. Take the day off, do whatever it takes.
Despite being relatively mildly hit by COVID-19 flu-like virus, Finland has seen some of the harshest restrictions in Europe and has been living in a state of emergency for weeks. The restrictions have triggered protests brutally dispersed by the police.
Following the break-up of a demonstration against repression, Finnish MP Ano Turtiainen has said that he considers the Finnish police to be like an ‘enemy during the war’. He accused the law enforcement of not serving the citizens.
In a scorching Facebook post, the MP, who formed his own party since being expelled from the Finns Party for poking fun at the killing of George Floyd, wrote that in his opinion the police don’t protect the citizens, but rather safeguard the Helsinki regime of which they are a part.
‘I do not trust the police anymore. I treat them the same way I would deal with the worst enemy during war,’ Turtiainen wrote, referring to protests against coronavirus restrictions held in Helsinki last weekend. Turtiainen suggested that the world is at war and that he doesn’t think that the situation will be resolved ‘without worse brawls’.
During the weekend’s demonstration organised against the restrictions to combat the coronavirus epidemic, the police brought over 20 people into custody and fined an additional 10 motorists for operating their vehicles in a disturbing manner as part of the demonstration.
According to the Helsinki Police Department, the authorities received no prior notification of the demonstration, as some 300 protesters showed up. As of now, public gatherings of over six people are prohibited as part of the government’s claims to push down the spread of the coronavirus (and anti-regime protests).
Michael Walsh over 50 years of political activism has had many brushes with the law. He has been several times arrested and twice gaoled in Britain and in Spain.
‘The thing to remember is that a policeman’s job is unique. He knows that in the broad field of careers the status of his job is that of a leper set loose in society. For a start, a person with whom we can readily associate ourselves has the ability to be a doctor or engineer, a tradesman or a business person.
The intellect of a policeman falls short of even the lowest skilled job. Should the policeman or woman lose their job there is no meaningful occupation prepared to offer a job opportunity to an ex-cop except as an airport baggage checker, security guard in a shopping mall or employed to patrol a building site overnight. These jobs are low paid, insecure and lack respect.
‘On the other hand, the same person provided with a police job is well-paid, has a better pension than most, his job is hardly arduous or mentally challenging, and he or she gets early retirement thanks to the generosity of the state, which in effect has become his mother ship.
Unsurprisingly, the policeman’s opinion of himself is on a par with that of the humble citizen whose head the policeman crunches with his baton. Public scorn for the cop reflects the image the cop sees in their mirror each day.’
To date, Finland has been relatively mildly hit by COVID-19, with some 870 deaths, but has seen some of the hardest restrictions in Europe and has been living in a state of emergency for over one year. Source
B.C. Father Jailed for Six Months For Violating Speech & Conscience Gagging Court Order
B.C. Dad Jailed 6 Months After Repeatedly Exposing Transgender Son’s Identity, Despite Publication Ban by Andrew Weichel, CTV News – April 17, 2021 https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-dad-jailed-6-months-after-repeatedly-exposing-transgender-son-s-identity-despite-publication-ban-1.5390847
VANCOUVER — The father of a transgender teenager has been sentenced to six months behind bars after exposing sensitive personal and medical information about his son, despite a publication ban intended to protect the boy’s privacy.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Michael Tammen noted that the father, who can only be identified as C.D., had “blatantly, willfully and repeatedly” breached the court order, warranting a serious sentence that would serve as a deterrent to others who might choose to follow in his footsteps.
“Public breaches of court orders are a direct attack on the rule of law,” Tammen said.
“He simply chose to disregard those orders, for reasons that have never been explained.”
The punishment handed down was much more severe than C.D. and his lawyer were anticipating when he pleaded guilty to criminal contempt of court this week.
Prosecutors had recommended a jail term of 45 days, with credit for the time C.D. has already served since he was taken into custody last month to prevent further breaches. The judge disagreed, arguing such a sentence would be “inadequate, and would tend to bring the administration of justice into disrepute.”
The publication ban C.D. violated stems from a family law case the father launched in 2018, when he tried to use the province’s court system to prevent his son, who was then 14, from accessing gender-affirming hormone treatments.
The teenager had identified as male for several years at that point, according to court documents, and the treatments were supported by his mother and doctors.
C.D. lost, in a ruling that upheld the right of minors under the B.C. Infants Act to make medical decisions independently of either of their parents if certain conditions are met, including that they have the approval of health-care professionals.
Publication bans in family law cases are commonplace to protect the privacy of minors, and C.D. was ordered not to give interviews using his real name or publicly share information that could expose his underage son to damaging and potentially violent online backlash. The court heard that he did so on numerous occasions, despite multiple warnings.
Tammen pointed to one interview that was uploaded to YouTube in which the father spoke openly about violating what he described as “gag orders.”
Some of that material has since been expunged from the internet. But Tammen noted that much of it remains, in part because C.D., after being told he could be found in contempt of court, had proceeded to start speaking to right-wing media organizations based in the U.S., which would be less inclined to remove the content at the request of Canadian authorities.
“C.D. ensured that he would not be fully able to purge his contempt,” Tammen said, citing another interview in which the father suggested he was “smarter” than the legal system that was trying to protect his son’s privacy.
The court also heard that C.D. put together an online crowdfunding campaign that included a link to a video containing his child’s name and picture. The fundraiser collected at least $30,000.
When it comes to this level of contempt, Tammen said, “there are few cases even remotely comparable.”
While supporters of C.D.’s have argued that the court order violates his own right to freedom of expression, the judge said the father could have aired his grievances about his family law case, and his son’s transition, by giving interviews without using his name or sharing personal details that put his child’s privacy in jeopardy. Tammen noted the father did just that in an interview with a Vancouver-based YouTube channel that fully complied with the ban.
The judge also shared a brief excerpt from a victim impact statement provided by C.D.’s son: “I followed the rules of the court order. I don’t know why my dad didn’t have to.”
With credit for time served, C.D. must spend another 134 days in jail. Tammen also ordered that the father take $30,000 from his fundraiser and donate it to the Ronald McDonald House charity.
In an email, defence lawyer Carey Linde said C.D.’s response to the judgment is “stoic acceptance of what he considers an overly strict sentence for a first offence.”
The father will not be doing any interviews until he completes his jail time, Linde added.
