For this week’s round-up of articles, we’re taking a look at some of the things the government thinks should be banned in response to coronavirus.
WHO urges governments to ban alcohol during lockdown
Last week we talked about how the World Health Organization was coming for your sick family members.
This week, they want your booze.
WHO says that alcohol compromises the immune system. And since we are fighting a virus, they think that prohibition is necessary.
In fact, alcohol restrictions can be justified by governments for the same reason coronavirus lockdowns are needed.
WHO notes that even in good times, alcohol is the cause of major health issues, addiction, and death. Alcohol accounts for 3 million deaths per year worldwide– far more than the coronavirus.
So it almost seems like WHO’s argument for banning alcohol has little to do with the coronavirus.
If it’s all about good health and saving lives, why not mandate a WHO-approved diet and exercise regimen for the masses as well? Why not ban sugar while they’re at it?
Where does the madness stop?

Not that you can disagree with the WHO anyhow…
Speaking of which, it’s difficult to even disagree with the WHO anymore; YouTube’s CEO indicated yesterday that her video platform would delete any content that goes against official WHO guidance.
Specifically she told CNN: “Anything that goes against WHO recommendations would be a violation of our policy. . .”
Bear in mind that the WHO was totally incompetent, especially in the early days of this pandemic. Here’s a quick review:
December 31: China first notifies WHO of the outbreak
January 5: WHO “does not recommend any specific measures for travellers” and “advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China”
January 23: Even as China begins its lockdown of Wuhan and the virus spreads across Asia, WHO still insists “it is still too early to declare a PHEIC” [Public Health Emergency of International Concern].
January 30: WHO still “does not recommend any travel or trade restriction” and praises the Chinese government’s “commitment to transparency.”
February 27: After many countries began introducing travel restrictions, WHO lamented that these restrictions would lead to “unnecessary interference with international traffic, including negative repercussions on the tourism sector.”
March 11: After more than 100,000 cases in dozens of countries worldwide, WHO finally declares this a global pandemic.
Oh I almost forgot: the WHO is the same organization that made a brutal murderer– former Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe– one of its GOODWILL ambassadors! You can’t make this stuff up.
And now YouTube wants to ban content that disagrees with an organization that is corrupt and incompetent.

Police threaten arrest for Instagram post about coronavirus
Amyiah Cohoon is a high school sophomore who went on a band trip to Disney World in March.
When she came back home she developed a fever and dry cough and doctors “concluded that her symptoms matched those of COVID-19.”
Amyiah posted a picture from the Disney trip on Instagram with a caption telling her friends she had Covid-19 and would not be able to see anyone for a while while she quarantined herself.
After a short stay in the hospital, Amyiah posted a picture from her stay, again with a caption that she was recovering from Covid-19.
The next day, a Sheriff’s Deputy knocked on the family’s door. He demanded that Amyiah delete the Instagram posts, or else he would cite the family for disorderly conduct and “start taking people to jail.”
The family offered to show the Deputy the documents from the hospital proving that doctors believed Amyiah had Covid-19. The Deputy was not interested.
He said the Sheriff told him to make sure the posts were deleted, because the county officially had no confirmed cases of Covid-19.
Intimidated, and threatened with jail, Amyiah compiled and deleted the posts.
Turns out it was the school superintendent who contacted the Sheriff about the Instagram post who claimed it was Amyiah’s “foolish means to get attention.”

Harvard professor: parents can’t be trusted with their kids
With American schools closed, homeschooling is the new normal for many families. This trend was already increasing, and will probably be accelerated by fears of the continuing spread of coronavirus.
But a Harvard professor Elizabeth Bartholet, the faculty director of the Child Advocacy Program at the law school, is calling for a ban on homeschooling.
She says that homeschooling, “not only violates children’s right to a meaningful education and their right to be protected from potential child abuse, but may keep them from contributing positively to a democratic society.”
She adds that a large percentage of homeschool families are driven by conservative Christian beliefs, which she seems to think constitutes child abuse. . .
Professor Bartholet says that some parents are deliberately trying to keep their kids from the mainstream culture taught in schools which includes “democratic values, ideas about nondiscrimination and tolerance of other people’s viewpoints.”
Yep. She’s all about tolerance of other people’s viewpoints. As long as those viewpoints conform with her own. Otherwise she’s not tolerant.
It is hard to imagine that this is a real person, and not a caricature villain created by Ayn Rand.

I swear, if Osama Bin Laden had flown those airplanes into the likes of the United Nations building, Goldman Sachs headquarters, and New York Federal Reserve Bank, he’d be a national hero today.
Oh, and wait for the global “common sense” call to ban all guns in the USA. That will follow if the senile dude is voter frauded into office. Gun confiscation will be the Rubicon for the Globalists, but they have already prepared New Zealand for their sojourn during the American Civil War 2.0. Funny timing that mosque massacre and gun confiscation in New Zealand.
Also oh, I forgot 9-11 was an inside job so OBL had no say in target selection. Only mostly empty, asbestos filled buildings owned by God’s chosen people with big insurance policies taken out six weeks before impact qualified as a viable target along with that part of the Pentagon accounting wing housing all original records in preparation for the $2 trillion missing money audit that didn’t happen.
But I believe COVID-19 is the great killer and all because, you know, the government says so like all those WMD in Iraq and shit. Bet it has electrolytes too, that’s why it’s so deadly to sick and frail 86 year olds.
you, my friend, have hit all the nails.
As far as the booze ban is concerned:
We are not fighting a virus,
we are trying to keep the virus from existing, by creating a highly concentrated alcohol to blood ratio.
I have never had a cold, or been sick, or had the flu, for my entire life since I left high school and began my career as an engineer, and a connoisseur of all the finer things in life:
Good beer, good wine, good whiskey, and a little of everything else life has to offer,
usually from a guy called Lefty who is a shady-looking salesman in a trench coat, and he ask you if you want to buy the letter M.
or is it the letter P?
it could be the letters K. B. (for you youngsters)
“That will follow
if the senile dude is voter frauded into office.”Fixed it.
Most in NZ did not comply from what I have read. Those that had guns now deeemed illegal that were on record (which would be ones newer ones) simply had the mods made (such as a stop limiting the shotgun rounds to 5 or whatever it is. This is the same as in place in some U.S. States).
Our favorite liquor store put Bushmills Red on sale for $10 off a 1.75L Just bought a backup today, and GA is beginning to reopen. We’ll be fine.
Oh, and FUCK WHO, and FUCK THE GOVERNMENT.
Liberty- Don’t get too excited, that reopening may not last long. If I were a betting person, I would bet this goes on in some capacity through next year. The cartel needs plenty of time to steal everything that’s not tied down and they have only just begun.
You only get a check, if the Feds have your bank account from LAST year. Fucking morans can’t figure out how to get the data for this year.
Last year, I got my paper refund check, this year, I sent it to the bank, but, I guess I will be waiting until July for my $1200.
I’m going to spend it all on grain alcohol. It’s Barter Town going forwards.
no one will want your stinking green backs, they will want things they can’t get there hands on, like:
booze, weed, pills, blow, french fries, pussy (not necessarily in that order)
I’m buying a still!
I concur.
Oh, I know they have more up their sleeve. But the more people who get out and get infected, the more resistant the population will be to the next round of virus next winter. And the more people share the truth, the more who are waking up. We’ll see what happens the next time they try this.
I’ve had enough. Just burn everything.

To paraphase Shakespeare “First thing, kill all the Karens.”
Right, banning alcohol worked out so well in last century’s 20’s.
Ban Democrats.
And ban broken-record columnists.
What is truly sad is that WHO won’t admit WHY alcohol is a problem. In fact, Bill Sardi, Dr. Mercola, and others have already pointed out that alcohol consumption lowers critical zinc levels, thus making the body less able to fight off viral infections. But if the asshole cocksuckers at WHO were to tell everyone WHY alcohol is “bad,” that would show that they actually know how critical zinc is to healthy immune function and that zine levels should have been taken for every patient entering the hospital, and that zinc supplementation along with quercetin (as a zinc ionophore – the same thing chloroquine is), would help everyone stay healthier. Big Pharma wouldn’t like that one bit, nor would satan’s spawn Bill Gates, who desperately needs the multi-billion dollar vaccine contract and the ability to tag all of his slaves with a tracking device. They also recommend getting out and getting fresh air (but not sunshine for the vitamin D).
MrLiberty,
That was a smart bomb truth post.
