Trick or Treat Tyranny: French False Flag

France, Germany impose new lockdowns to curb coronavirus spread

France announced a full nationwide lockdown for the second time this year and German officials imposed a partial four-week lockdown Wednesday, as governments across Europe sought to stop a fast-rising tide of coronavirus cases. 

"French Prime Minister Jean Castex spoke Thursday of a "sudden and spectacular acceleration" of the pandemic. French officials on Thursday reported that new daily cases rose above 30,000 for the first time. "The most worrying thing is that the number of cases is rising very quickly among the elderly, which will quickly result in many new patients arriving in hospitals," Castex told reporters. In the Czech Republic, the army is scrambling to build a field hospital in Prague, amid warnings that the country's medical capacity could be completely subsumed by covid-19 within weeks. Czech leaders were praised in March for swift measures to shut down their society far earlier than many of their wealthier neighbors, and they were the envy of Europe for months, but after a rapid reopening in May - and perhaps a premature sense of security this summer, when revelers held a celebratory pandemic-vanquishing dinner across Prague's Charles Bridge - cases and deaths are now through the roof. 

These are the SAME LIES they told you LAST SPRING!

Nearly half of the country's 77,000 cases have been registered in the past two weeks, with a record 9,544 on Wednesday, the Czech Health Ministry said Thursday. The prevalence of the virus was evident Thursday in Brussels, where E.U. country leaders gathered for an in-person summit, despite Belgium having one of the worst outbreaks in Europe. The day's meetings were just getting underway when European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had to rush out. A member of her front office had tested positive for the virus, forcing von der Leyen into quarantine. The WHO accompanied its dire warning about death rates in Europe with the advice that individual actions now could avert more painful government measures later. Kluge said that about 60% of Europeans are wearing masks, but if that number increased to 95% and if everyone obeyed limits on social gatherings, he said, people could avert the worst blow of the pandemic. "It is up for us to accept them while they are still relatively easy to follow, instead of resuming the path of severity," he said. 

How do you say FUCK THIS in French? 

Although Europe's earlier embrace of shutdowns was held up as a global model for how to rein in the virus, there is little appetite for a repeat of that strategy. "We cannot afford, economically, to have a second wave with the same consequences that occurred in the spring," said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country on Thursday posted a record 6,638 new infections. "That means we have to do everything we can to keep the infection numbers under control and to trace the contacts." She spoke after a grinding Wednesday meeting with the leaders of Germany's federal states, who have significant power to shape the virus response. German media reported that Merkel unsuccessfully pushed for a stricter approach than many pandemic-weary state leaders were willing to grant her.

Across Europe, leaders have dismissed talk of national lockdowns and instead announced new restrictions targeting hot-spot communities. There is a widespread aversion to closing schools but more willingness to limit the operations of bars and restaurants and restrict the size of gatherings. In the Netherlands, public gatherings of more than four people have been banned, as have evening alcohol sales. France is instituting a 9 p.m. curfew in Paris and other major cities. Londoners will be barred from socializing with one another indoors. "Things will get worse before they get better," British Health Secretary Matt Hancock told Parliament on Thursday. New reported cases in Britain reached 19,724 on Wednesday, an increase of nearly 2,500, or 14%, over the previous day's figure, "but I know that there are brighter skies and calmer seas ahead - that the ingenuity of science will find a way through - and until then we must come together," Hancock said. 

This is SICKENINGLY DISGUSTING SHIT!

Italy, which was hit first and hard in Europe by the first wave, kept cases low until recently after many Italians were confined to their apartments for months, but it is seeing explosive growth after a long period of quiet and on Thursday reported 8,804 cases, its highest daily number during the pandemic - though with far more testing than in the spring. Virologist Andrea Crisanti warned in a television interview that a national lockdown could be in play by Christmas, and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte pointedly did not rule out such a scenario when asked. Italy has imposed several measures in an attempt to slow the spread, last week mandating mask-wearing outdoors and this week curbing hours for restaurants and bars, but officials warn that more-severe restrictions will still be necessary. Some regions, including Milan and Naples, "are on the verge of a very dangerous path," said Walter Ricciardi, the WHO's adviser to the Italian government, citing the need for "very, very aggressive steps." "They should be closing everything apart from schools and work," he said."

"French police searched the homes of the health minister, the former prime minister and other top officials Thursday in an investigation into the government’s response to the global coronavirus pandemic. The dawn searches, confirmed by the Health Ministry, come as France is fighting against a resurgent epidemic that has now filled a third of the country’s intensive care units with COVID-19 patients and is again putting Europe to the test. President Emmanuel Macron announced curfews on around 20 million people in the Paris region and eight other French metropolitan areas starting Friday night to try to slow the tide. The investigation threatens to rekindle public frustration with a government that's been accused of lying to the public about mask stocks, underestimating testing needs and overestimating France’s ability to vanquish the pandemic — not once, but now twice. About 1,000 protesting nurses, doctors and other public hospital staff marched through Paris on Thursday to demand more investment, staff and higher salaries after years of cost cuts. A special French court for prosecuting government ministers ordered an investigation as a result of their complaints (Associated Press)."

"The government continues to send mixed messages about the virus. In addition to the curfew in several cities, the prime minister announced a nationwide ban on public weddings Thursday, even as the president encouraged French people to travel as usual for upcoming autumn school vacations. The government announced it will deploy 12,000 police to enforce the new curfew, and will spend another 1 billion euros to help businesses hit hardest by the latest virus restrictions. “Our compatriots thought this health crisis was behind us,” Castex said, “but we can’t live normally again as long as the virus is here.”

People enjoyed a meal in Lille, northern France, Friday night ahead of a new curfew set to go into effect.

"The legal woes of the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy mounted Friday as prosecutors said he was facing a new charge in a long-running investigation into possible illegal Libyan financing of his 2007 presidential campaign. The affair has put a serious dent in the renewed political aspirations of Mr. Sarkozy, president from 2007 to 2012, and still supported by millions of center-right French voters....."

So far concrete evidence of Mr. Sarkozy’s guilt has been sparse, but despite his legal troubles, Mr. Sarkozy has managed to remain a force in center-right French politics. His counsel is still sought by many in the Republican political party, whose makeover he engineered, and even by President Emmanuel Macron. The French news media regularly reports on contacts between the two men, and Mr. Macron’s rightward shift in the latter part of his presidency owes much to the themes championed by Mr. Sarkozy.

The more things change.....

"A retired French surgeon has been charged with the rape and sexual assault of more than 300 people, a vast majority of whom were under 15, in what could be France’s biggest-ever pedophilia and sexual abuse case. Authorities said details about the identities of the victims, whose average age was 11, were included in private diaries kept by Joël Le Scouarnec, 70, a specialist in abdominal surgery, where he described at length the sexual abuses he is accused of perpetrating. Le Scouarnec had already been charged with sexual abuse of minors in 2017, a case that led investigators to discover the diaries. France has been rocked by a series of sexual abuse and pedophilia scandals; the most recent was that of Gabriel Matzneff, a writer who, for decades, wrote openly of his pedophilia with the protection of some French elites, but Le Scouarnec’s case is perhaps the largest ever in France involving sexual abuse and pedophilia by an individual."

 “The scale of the case is really unprecedented,” said Pierre Verdrager, a sociologist who has studied pedophilia. “I am not aware of a case with so many victims.” The public prosecutor’s office had initially identified 343 potential victims but eventually dismissed 31 cases because the statute of limitations had lapsed or for lack of evidence. French laws prohibit sex between an adult and a minor under the age of 15, but it is not automatically considered rape. Further circumstances — such as the use of coercion, threats or violence — are necessary to characterize such sexual relationships as rape. France recently toughened laws against sex crimes and extended the statute of limitations for rape against a minor to 30 years from 20 years. “We are faced with the pedophilia case of the century, because of the personality of the perpetrator and because of the facts,” said Francesca Satta, a lawyer representing about 20 accusers in the case. Le Scouarnec was first arrested in 2017 after a 6-year-old girl living in his neighborhood reported him to her parents. Le Scouarnec allegedly showed her his penis and digitally penetrated her, said Satta, who is also the girl’s lawyer. That led to an investigation on sexual abuses committed against four underage girls between 1989 and 2017, including the 6-year-old girl and two members of Le Scouarnec’s own family, resulting in charges of rape, sexual assault and exhibitionism. Le Scouarnec is in prison awaiting trial in the case, scheduled for late next month. What investigators did not anticipate, however, was that a search of Le Scouarnec’s home as part of this first investigation revealed much more than expected: Along with 3-foot-tall toy dolls, mannequin wigs and child pornography images, police officers said they found secret diaries recounting in great detail Le Scouarnec’s sexual encounters with scores of children at hospitals where he practiced between 1989 and 2017. The children were, most of the time, abused in a hospital, while under anesthetic substances, sedation and other medical treatments, Stéphane Kellenberger, the state prosecutor in charge of the case, told reporters Thursday. Le Scouarnec’s diaries included dates and details about the identities of the children, officials said, allowing the police to trace them to obtain their testimony. Thibaut Kurzawa, Le Scouarnec’s lawyer, denounced what he called a “show procedure,” saying that his client’s rights of defense had been violated and his safety endangered, but he declined to comment on the charges. Le Scouarnec had already been given a four-month suspended jail sentence in 2005 for possessing child pornography, but the sentence did not prevent him from practicing medicine. “This is a major institutional dysfunction,” said Verdrager, the sociologist, who said medical and judicial authorities bore responsibility. He added that, as was the case with Matzneff, the writer, Le Scouarnec was part of an elite that might have shielded him from retaliation....." 

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

The false flag came just in time:

"A knife-wielding man decapitated a teacher near a school in a suburb north of Paris on Friday afternoon and was later shot dead by the police, officials said, abruptly hitting France with a national trauma that revived memories of recent terrorist attacks......"

".... It was “a terrorist Islamist attack because he taught, because he taught the liberty of expression, the liberty to believe and not believe,” the French president said in a brief televised address. France’s antiterrorism prosecutors immediately took over the investigation. Much remained obscure Friday night in the absence of an official police narrative, but the underlying themes of what was known conjured up France’s recent history of terrorist attacks: an assailant carefully choosing a victim thought to symbolize an offense against Islam. French media, quoting witnesses, said the assailant was heard to yell “Allahu akbar” at the moment of the knife attack. A photograph of a corpse lying in the middle of a leafy suburban street appeared on French television not long afterward. The attack came three weeks after a knife-wielding assailant wounded two people in Paris near the site of the former Charlie Hebdo office — the scene of a 2015 terrorist attack targeting the satirical newspaper for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. French officials of all political stripes rushed to denounce the teacher’s killing. The interior minister, in charge of the police, cut short an official trip to Morocco and flew home to Paris. “The assassination of a history teacher is an attack on freedom of expression and the values of the republic,” the president of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand, said on Twitter. “To attack a teacher is to attack all French citizens and freedom.”“Frightful. Huge emotion and anger in the face of this terrorist barbarism,” a leading Socialist parliamentarian, Boris Vallaud, wrote on Twitter. In the video, the parent details what his daughter told him had transpired in the class. “So this week, he allowed himself to tell them, the Muslims, Muslim students raise your hands,” the parents says. “So they raised their hands, and he said, ‘right, leave the class.’ So my daughter refused to leave and asked him, ‘why?’ And he said he was going to show a photo that would shock them. And then he showed them a naked man, telling them it was the prophet.” Another parent, Carine Mendes, 41, whose child had attended the class, offered a more nuanced view of what happened. She called the teacher “a very sweet person, in his words, in his expressions.” Ms. Mendes said the teacher had suggested to Muslim students who did not want to see the cartoon that they leave the classroom temporarily, and had asked those who remained not to tell their Muslim classmates about the cartoon in order not to offend their faith. “He really tried to do things with respect, he didn’t want to hurt anyone,” she said. But in a second class where the teacher gave the course, a shocked student refused to leave the room and told her father about what happened. He was the father who later complained in the video posted online. The next day, the teacher apologized to his students and the principal sent an email message to parents to try to clear up the situation. The teacher’s suggestion to leave the classroom, the principal said, had been insensitive. “Without wanting to offend anyone, it turned out that by offering this possibility to the students, he still offended the student,” the principal’s email read. Ms. Mendes said that what happened “was awful.” “He was just giving a course on freedom of expression,” she said. “A teacher was killed just for doing his job,” Sophie Venetitay, a teachers’ union official, told BFM."

Better get the hell out of Paris:

"The scenes in Paris resembled a regular lazy weekend morning — light traffic, a sprinkling of people on the sidewalks, but this was a Friday. What would normally have been a bustling weekday marked the start of a nationwide four-week government imposed lockdown in France to fight a resurgent coronavirus threatening to swamp the country's health system. Parisians — along with the rest of this nation of 67 million — were confined to their homes as of Friday, for the second time in seven months, under a presidential decree ratified by Parliament. Citizens have been ordered to stay at home at all times with no visitors, or risk steep fines or prosecution. They are allowed out for one hour of exercise a day, or for medical appointments or to shop for essential goods. On Friday in the popular 10th arondissement neighborhood, sidewalks were generally empty, with just a few passersby hurrying past and clutching lockdown exception forms — well-known since the country’s first lockdown and known simply by their French name, “attestation.” Restaurants and cafés were shuttered, apart from those that offered takeout, such as the brightly-lit McDonald’s near the Stalingrad metro station. The only places that were busy were supermarkets as residents stockpiled essential food and goods. Many Parisians didn’t wait to be confined to their typically cramped apartments for four weeks. Freeways around the capital descended into scenes of traffic chaos during the night as residents fled the capital. French media reported that logjams stretched some 700 kilometers (435 miles) in the region around Paris as many headed for country or family homes with more space....." 

French leaders are lucky it isn't the 18th-century.

Yeah. 

Time to get those out of the mothballs for all the traitorous and ruling cla$$ $cum.
