Dutch Police Open Fire on Anti-Lockdown Protestors

2 min read

Seven people have been injured after Dutch police fired on anti-lockdown protestors on Friday night, amid rising anger at new Covid restrictions. MailOnline has more.

Police confirmed the injuries in Rotterdam on Friday and said they had fired both “warning shots” and directly at protesters – but did not say if live ammunition or rubber bullets were fired.

Local media reported that at least 20 people were arrested.

Police also fired water cannons to disperse demonstrators who lit fires and set off fireworks in one of Rotterdam’s main shopping streets, one week after the new COVID-19 measures came into force.

The violent scenes came amid a rising anger at coronavirus measures across Europe, with Austria making vaccines mandatory and introducing a full lockdown from Monday, and German ministers not ruling out following its neighbour’s lockdown lead.

Restrictions have also been placed on the unvaccinated in Germany – where they have been banned from Restaurants – as well as in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Video from social media appeared to show a person being shot in Rotterdam, but there was no immediate word on what happened.

Police said in a tweet that it was “still unclear how and by whom” the person was apparently shot.

Local media reported seven people were injured and at least 20 were arrested, with one eyewitness – a press photographer – telling De Telegraaf they saw shell casings “everywhere on the floor”.

Police spokesperson Patricia Wessels confirmed that police fired shots, though it was not immediately clear what type of rounds were fired.

“We fired warning shots and there were also direct shots fired because the situation was life-threatening,” she said.

There needs to be some organisation on our side. Groups to keep an eye out for plain clothes cops infiltrating to take out perceived leaders (as seen in the Rotterdam videos). The cops are likely to be big lads working in pairs dressed in too-clean casual clothes – ironed jeans are a dead give away! Swarm them.

“Two protesters have been shot and wounded by police to protect public health”

That makes it all right, then. Shooting political opponents for the greater good.

I remember the cries of ‘The evil dictator /Saddam/Assad/Boogeyman-du-jour is killing his own people’. Where are the cries now?

The early indications are that people have finally had enough. Even the BBC is reporting the riots. I hope our own Government takes note. It is the younger generation whose lives are being screwed up. We need to rule out any further lockdowns in the UK regardless of case numbers and openly support herd immunity and focussed protection. For the rest of us let it rip. It is impossible to protect the population from every day risks. It is time for everyone to get a grip.

It’s call “The Social Contract”. We agree to work together, as a society, for everyone’s benefit. When that social contract is breached, society breaks down.

Treating people, who care enough about their health to resist an experimental, unnecessary medical procedure, as criminals will do far more damage than Covid.

So there we have it, our political mediocrities/masters choose to destroy the economy, hamstring the life chances of the young and sever the cohesion of society- all for a virus with an IFR of 0.15%

Joe Rogan said his doctor, Pierre Kory, is part of a group that has used Ivermectin to quietly treat 200 Members of U.S. Congress for COVID19. Dr Simone Gold, from America’s Frontline Doctors, told that she has prescribed treatments for Congress. She still believes in her oath, but she is vocal saying she has been contacted by many in DC. Can you believe these demons? Healing for them are OK but not for us. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Reports started by saying the Dutch police had shot protestors. By the time it got to the BBC’s lunchtime news today, the protestors had become “rioters” and the police had to shoot them in self-defence. Now that’s what I call spin!

Who’d have thought that civil unrest and possibly even conflict on European soil once again could possibly be triggered not by the threat of communism or Islamism but by the threat from our very own western governments who are behaving like power-mad tyrants.

It has come to my attention that schools in England are now requiring PCR tests rather than Lateral Flow tests at the first signs of respiratory or any other form of infection in children.

Until recently they required Lateral Flow tests and PCRs were pretty much optional. As we all know PCR tests are open to abuse in a number of ways:

-The gene targets can be altered by the NHS with no notification to the public so that they match genes that are shared with common coronaviruses if not even influenza viruses.

-The cycle thresholds settings are set so high that anybody with even a minor exposure to SARSCoV2 in the last two months who is completely immune and would never be able to infect anybody else tests positive.

-A combination of the two above, can result in a scenario in which when children develop influenza the PCR then reads as a “positive to SARSCoV2”, when it’s merely influenza in a child fully immune to SARSCoV2

-The most worrying thing is if this is happening in the age bracket of 5-11 year olds, as a form or fear manipulation for these parents to get their children injected.

LF give blanket false positives to boost the numbers.
PCR cycles are run differently based on vaccination status.

Lack of compliance is the way to go, no downloading of the vaccine passport & non-violent protest. The powers that be want a violent uprising as they can then castigate us leading to further division, hatred & derision of our stance.
This article, which pulls together all the latest immunological & virologic research on the effect of the covid jab on the human immune system, makes it perfectly clear as to why we must keep strong & hold the line.

I tend to agree with you. Nevertheless not all violence can be controlled, and there will come a time (if compulsory jabs lead to people being forcibly injected) when just a passive lack of compliance will be the same as complying with their demands. Then it’s ‘Warsaw Uprising’ time, or eternal shame.

At that point it becomes physical assault, whole different ball game. Until then the Resistance needs to keep the moral high ground with civil behaviour. The only cover of the protests in the MSM is when violence against the authorities occurs. The narrative continues…

I don’t do social media for this very reason, but sympathise. Against huge odds for now we can only resist by staying true to our principles and living on our own terms. Sadly this means we are spectators of the rise of tyranny in our midst, even if we dodge its clutches. Just have to do what we can, there is no shame or guilt in being ‘ineffective’. But it may sow seeds for the future (millions read this site around the globe).

New study from Germany confirms higher vax coverage –> higher excess mortality

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-study-from-germany-confirms-higher?r=o7iqo

The Harvard study showed vaccination makes things worse as far as cases goes. This new study from German shows that the more you vaccinate the more people get killed. Not a surprise to me

What this new German study shows is: The higher the vaccination rate, the higher the excess mortality.

I can’t say I’m surprised. These are the deadliest vaccine in human history by a factor of over 800. But it is always nice to get confirmation from multiple sources who have no conflicts.

The authors write (translated into English): “The correlation is + .31, is amazingly high and especially in an unexpected direction. Actually, it should be negative, so that one could say: The higher the vaccination rate, the lower the excess mortality. However, the opposite is the case and this urgently needs to be clarified. Excess mortality can be observed in all 16 countries…”

In plain English: vaccination makes things worse, not better.
I wanted to share this study with you because it might be interesting for you and maybe you want to add it to your vaccine data.

We are killing our kids. Does anyone care?

Kids that would have never died from COVID are now dying after getting the vaccine. Will it ever end?

“Recently, Dr. Toby Rogers did a risk-benefit analysis showing we’ll kill 117 kids for every kid we save from COVID with the vaccines aged 5 to 11.
The ratio doesn’t really change if they change the dose, e.g., to a third of the adult dose. It means fewer kids saved and fewer kids killed, but the ratio remains about the same. We will kill a lot more kids than we will ever save with these vaccines.
What Toby predicted is now coming true.

We can’t show it is 117 to 1, but we can show for sure we are killing more kids than we are saving.

With COVID, only children with pretty severe health problems would die: we don’t know of a single kid, 5 to 11, who died from COVID who didn’t have some pretty serious health issues before they got COVID.
Those days are now gone. We’re now killing the healthy kids.
The vaccines rolled out for kids 5 to 11 starting on November 7. It is now just 12 days later… Read more »

Before I make a decision, is it possible that you could give some reassurance that your police will not murder me

Sad to see the country that murdered Anne Frank revert to type
