CCTV to be used at Irish University to identify maskless students

One of Ireland’s top universities is planning to spy on students who breach covid guidelines. The National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is now encouraging staff to approach maskless students to wear a mask and failure to comply with the coercive directive may result in disciplinary action. Cowardly management at the university have issued threats to brave mask free students that they will also hunt them down by using CCTV.

NUIG’s Chief Operating Officer, John Gill shamefully justified the bullying and scare-mongering tactics by stating, “Our experience has been, if people are challenged, if somebody asks them to replace their face covering, they do so. If you find that you get a response that is not what you’d expect or people don’t return to wearing the face covering, please report it.”

Snitch culture within the university is welcomed by Mr Gill. He added, “If we have CCTV coverage, then we can pick up on the individuals and approach them directly, or if you know the identity of the individual, let us know and we can act on that.”

Staff are advised to provide a time, date, and place of maskless students to the relevant powers so identification can be made through CCTV footage.

This is not the first time that NUIG have shown their bullish and discriminatory side towards ballsy free-thinking students during covid. In January of last year, 48 students who breached covid guidelines on university campuses were required as punishment to write a reflective 2000-word essay about their ‘inexcusable’ actions. The unlucky students were also required/forced into watching a state-televised documentary about covid.

Dean of Students and Professor Michelle Millar at NUIG patronized the students by saying, “We all make mistakes in life-the key is what have we learned from that.”

To add further insult and public humiliation for the students, extracts and quotes from their essays were displayed on a wall at the university.

The thought that fee paying students would be penalized for breaking absurd rules and punished by the university with an adult version of the ‘naughty step’ is grotesque.

Greece orders unvaccinated seniors to pay monthly fines

Greece is joining the ever-growing bully club of nations that is targeting people who refuse the experimental covid jab. In November, the Greek government announced mandatory covid jabs for the over 60s in a callous attempt to increase vaccine uptake.

Data from the Greek health ministry showed there are 520,000 people over the age of 60 unvaccinated.

According to the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, anyone who refuses to get vaccinated will have to pay a monthly fine of 100 Euros ($114) for each month they don’t get jabbed starting on the 16th of January 2022.

Opposition party Syriza have called the fines “punitive and financially excessive.” The Greek Premier shamefully tried to justify the disgusting and unfair fines by stating, “It is not a punishment, I would say it is a health fee. It is the price to pay for health.”

The emotional blackmail and gaslighting continued with Mitsotakis adding, “Those people must be the first to be protected, as they are often the ones who go to the hospital when it’s too late, further aggravating their situation and preventing the hospitalization of people with other serious diseases.”

The Greek government has said the strict fines will be collected by the tax authorities and funds collected will be given back into healthcare settings.

Ancient Greek Philosopher Aristotle once said, “Be a free thinker and don’t accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.” Kudos to the over 60s unvaccinated in Greece who are the modern critical thinkers in their country.

Chinese city offers cash incentive to help trace outbreak of covid

Communist authority figures in the northern province of Heilongjiang have issued a cash reward for anyone who can provide information about the trace of covid in the city of Heihe.

A notice issued by local city government officials stated, “In order to uncover the source of this virus outbreak as soon as possible and find out the chain of transformation, it is necessary to wage a people’s war of epidemic prevention and control.”

Residents in Heihe who report any valuable information regarding the possible source of covid in the city can be rewarded anything up to 100,000 Yuan ($15,600).

Officials in the border city close to Russia also encouraged people to report any incidence of illegal hunting, animal smuggling, or people crossing the border to fish. They warned residents that severe penalties will be implemented if people intentionally hide relevant information.

According to Chinese state-sponsored media, “The general public is expected to be able to actively cooperate with tracking the virus and provide leads on the investigation.”

The desperate plea and underhand approach by government powers is another example that frightened, and obedient societies will freely snitch on others under the delusional guise of the ‘people’s war’.

Aussie Rules star announces retirement after refusing covid jab

Modern elite sport can be a cut-throat world of excessive fat salaries and a ‘win at all costs’ mentality. However, one honourable Australian Football League (AFL) player has turned down a new $450,000 contract and added bonuses for the upcoming season and instead has opted to retire due to his stance on covid mandate policies. 30-year-old Liam Jones who played for Melbourne-based Carlton Blues announced his retirement in November for personal reasons. Officials on the AFL website reported, “It is understood Jones’ decision to retire is related to the vaccination policy implemented by the AFL in preparation for the 2022 season.”

On announcing his retirement, the principled sports star stated, “I want to take this opportunity to thank all who have supported me throughout my journey, both personally and professionally. I love the game and I’ll miss my teammates. I hope that people respect my decision and privacy.”

The Australian State of Victoria under the tyrannical dictatorship of Daniel (Dan) Andrews required all ‘authorized workers’ including professional athletes to be fully jabbed before November 26th. AFL football executive Andrew Dillon expected a “small handful of players” to stand down because of the discriminatory policy.

Brisbane Lions captain Dayne Zorko expects more retirements in the coming months due to the mandated policy across the country. Speaking about the premature retirement of Liam Jones, he said, “Something tells me that he might not be the last as well.”

Deni Varnhagen who plays for the Adelaide Crows in the AFLW top tier is another Aussie Rules player objecting to covid vaccine mandates in the women’s league. The premiership player and registered nurse has refused the vaccine and questioned the AFL’s vaccination policy by saying that “coercion is not consent”.

Varnhagen stated, “I’ve always stood up for what I believe in, and I will continue to do that, no matter how difficult the journey may seem, there will be light and joy at the end of the road.” Due to her stance, she is currently on an ‘inactive roster’ list at the Adelaide club.

In a world where true role models are few and far between, Liam Jones and Deni Varnhagen are shining lights in a country that is surrounded by darkness presently.
