Now that Sweden's 2020 mortality statistics have been finalized, we can see the horrifying COVID-19 death toll with a good magnifying glass.

I wonder if this is related to Ron Paul publishing the fact that a nursing New York state nursing home had a wave of covid deaths after vaccinating?

Not clear *exactly* what the timeline is on that. Could just be coincidence and the vax didn't have time to kick in. But if not, that's not a good sign re: effectiveness.

The only thing politicians want more than power is tax dollars.

Interesting: Hacker News posters claiming that Whatsapp is censoring previews of https://signal.org

Not full censorship - you can still click the link. But rather suspicious to treat a competitor differently.

Facebook is also buying ads for "signal" to advertise Messenger.

If you received a COVID fine go to http://FightTheFines.com" - @RebelNewsOnline@twitter.com

This is actually kinda clever, and easy to do with remote panic buttons.

Police going down streets, sirens blaring, is straight up fear mongering fascism.

The smug look of censorship resistance.

From Parler's CEO. Note how they say they were using physical-compatible infrastructure, that can be fairly easily moved to self hosting.

Now big question: will their ISP censor them too? There's not that many ISPs providing transit.
