The German Government has announced that its unvaccinated population will be prohibited from entering ‘non-essential’ shops, with Angela Merkel declaring that these restrictions are necessary to stop the nation’s hospitals from being overrun with Covid patients. The Chancellor has labelled the new restrictions as an “act of solidarity”, and has called upon lawmakers to introduce legislation making the vaccine compulsory. The Telegraph has the story.
Angela Merkel has backed compulsory vaccinations as leaders agreed to bring in a de facto lockdown for the unvaccinated.
The German Chancellor said that people who aren’t vaccinated will be excluded from nonessential shops, as well as cultural and recreational venues.
Speaking after a meeting with federal and state leaders, she said the measures were necessary in light of concerns that hospitals in Germany could become overloaded with people suffering Covid infections.
“The situation in our country is serious,” Merkel told reporters in Berlin, calling the measure an “act of national solidarity”.
Merkel herself backed the most contentious proposal of imposing a general vaccine mandate. She said Parliament would debate the proposal with input from the country’s national ethics committee.
If passed, it could take effect as early as February, Merkel said, adding that she would have voted in favour of the measure if she were still a member of parliament.
She said officials had also agreed to require masks in schools, impose new limits on private meetings and aim for 30 million vaccinations by the end of the year, an effort that will be boosted by allowing dentists and pharmacists to administer the shots.
Just over 68% of the population in Germany is fully vaccinated, far below the minimum of 75% the Government is aiming for.
There have been large protests against pandemic measures in the past in Germany and the vaccine mandate is likely to be opposed by a minority, though opinion polls show most Germans are in favour.
Finance Minister Olaf Scholz, who is expected to be elected chancellor by a centre-left coalition next week, has also backed a general vaccine mandate, but favours letting lawmakers vote on the issue according to their personal conscience rather than party lines.
Under the new measures announced today, the unvaccinated will be barred from restaurants, pubs, cinemas, gyms, cultural events and non-essential shops.
The restrictions, which will not apply to the fully jabbed, are already in force in several German regions.
The unvaccinated will also be barred from Christmas markets in those regions where they are still open. Many regions have already ordered the traditional markets to close.

The Germans have a history of totalitarianism and undertaking obscene experiments on their population. Frau Merkel is merely walking in the footsteps of Hitler and Mengele. Hopefully she will meet the same fate as the former.
Merkel fulfilling her wide-on for totalitarian power. How more people don’t notice that this leads to camps….literal camps. Not just in Germany but elsewhere. Death will be had because of this.
We should be openly condeming Germany and boycotting their products. But we won’t because we are meek sheep too scared of our own shadows and in love with cheap electronics that replace the world.
Blow the trumpets or bring a comet. We fucked it up.
And where Germany goes, the rest of the EU will follow. And where the EU goes, our fake Euro-sceptic government will follow, (if it didn’t actually descend there first).
Once a fascist state always a fascist state.
Angela and other country leaders are looking a bit worn out. I guess they didn’t think it would be this much work and this hard to do when they were asked to kill their own economies and their citizens.
I consider colds and flu beneficial, if a little inconvenient, something your body needs, indeed seeks out in order to remain healthy, I think of them as a free regular maintenance program and take only rest instead of medication, allowing my body to generate sufficient additional heat, if necessary, to mitigate against an invading coronavirus, the beneficial side effect being a reduction in the number of other unwanted rogue cells.
This most be stopped how on earth do they think it’s right have we learned nothing
She’d have made a great Concentration Camp Guard. She has all the authoritarian tendencies AND the appearance.
Just watched Zemmour’s video. Hard to see that he will achieve his goal without a war of some kind on immigrants. But the goal itself – of preserving a country that doesn’t genuflect automatically to woke agendas – is rational (unless of course the majority of French people don’t actually have any affection for those admittedly rather clichéd images of what their country used to be – in which case it surely is Game Over, M Zemmour.) So, how to achieve his goal is the question. I’m not sure that he can. I’m in Zemmour’s camp ideologically, but I think that France’s ancient mistakes – its confinement of immigrants to the outskirts of town rather than a successful process of integration – as in this country – means Zemmour won’t achieve his goal without repatriation and violence – in which case how could I vote for him? We need to know what his plans are. How is he going to Make France Great Again without committing crimes against humanity?
As a contingency, do we need to start researching ways to counteract the effects of the bioweapon?
look on the bright side, for england at least – no one hates the germans more than the english, so this will surely turn a huge swathe of england against the idea of mandatory “vaccines” – my enemy’s enemy is my friend!
The Omicron variant in question: a political agitation more than a scientific one..
The language of communists
It’s all you need to know.
Yes.. and just to add to that, it was the communists of the Frankfurt School with their destructive ‘critical theory’ that fled Germany in 1933.
These wretched people and their descendents are one of the main reasons we are swimming in the filth and morale decay we are today.. Their teachings are now rampant across Western Universities. They proudly called themselves ‘the destroyers’..
Also one of the first graduates of the WEF future leaders
That’s the Austrian Chancellor gone, quits under pressure over COVID. Who next?
I would be highly suspect of that move.. and watch very closely.. the devils are relying on their local underlings to carry out the orders.. this man has just thrown the match in the hay barn and making his exit..
Question everything, trust no one.
really?where you find that, it gives hope
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

From Germany: [21.11.2021 08:15] Dear friends,
I think it was a shock for many of us when the news of compulsory vaccination came today from our neighbouring country Austria.
Of course, it was clear to everyone that this was the perfect plan for Germany, and as was to be expected, our beloved Södolf also jumped on this bandwagon and demanded mandatory vaccination in our country as well, just minutes after the announcement.
But after the first short shock, when the brain can think clearly again, one thing struck me….
Why on earth does this compulsory vaccination only start on 1 February 2022????
If these tyrants are already planning to implement it, there is nothing in the world that can stop them from doing it tomorrow. No one could stop them anyway. But then why wait so long?
There is only one logical explanation to this question. The psychological pressure on the population will be massively intensified during these two and a half months. In other words, the masses of hitherto indomitable vaccine opponents will be forced to run “voluntarily” into the syringe. But why is this “voluntarism” so important to you?
The answer is very simple. As long… Read more »
An excellent and positive summary – thanks!
Yes.. thanks kate. A good post indeed.
Its the the vaccines plus their passports that are the real threat our way of life and we must resist them. Below are two great videos to let people know where this is intended to go, as was the scam from the very beginning..
They need your children to vaccinated in order to install a global social credit system.

Thank you, I have a friend who is unvaccinated, is strongly against the injection, but is now so scared because she thinks, and she may not be wrong, that Governments in Europe and the UK will turn on the unvaccinated, make our lives unbearable, subject us to horror, remove our livelihoods and eventually incarcerate us in camps. She will not have the injection but she is being terrified. I have sent her this post in the hope, it gives her comfort.
When the going gets tough.. the tough get going.. its amazing what inner strength manifests when you need to stand up defend yourself.. knowing you are in the right..

In this breathtaking piece of Newspeak, this fanatic wants you to believe that creating a segregated underclass, forcing them out of mainstream society and turning them into social pariahs is somehow a form of ‘national solidarity’ when it is, quite clearly, an example of national discord, national disagreement, national disharmony, national disunity.
Don’t tell me this ghastly creature doesn’t know what she’s doing here. She’s taken a page right out of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Can’t someone just chuck her in a dustbin?

Guessing this is the plan and the reason
It was always the plan..
I’ve emailed the German Embassy in London to register my disgust.
Very good work 👏
Trump, Paul and DeSantis should call for priority access to be given to German refugees seeking asylum from “vaccine”-fascism.

Reading the other articles too, it appears that politicians wreck everything they touch
Just been reading the Guardian comments section to see which way the wind is blowing. Consensus is people who haven’t been vaccinated deserve everything that’s coming to them. It’s incredibly selfish not to be vaccinated. Having Covid and then being vaccinated is even better than being just vaccinated. But choosing to have just natural Covid immunity is bad as you are taking a selfish risk. Myocarditis from Covid is much worse than Myocarditis from the vaccine. People who don’t get the vaccine are selfish right wingers who listen to rubbish on the Internet. We forgive the tiny minority who can’t have the jab for valid medical reasons. How dare you think you know better than your doctor. Etc etc.
Sounds typical, have the comments been shut down yet for abuse
I would suggest we each send her a tub of veet facial hair removal cream (can be purchased at Amazon and all good Retailers)

I am sure Ms Merkel will be very grateful for the products and perhaps we can demonstrate to her our feelings.
Report from the swimming pool. 20% mask compliance by parents waiting for their kids to finish their lessons. People with masks looked as resigned as they could manage with their masks on. Cheered me up.
I’ve been in three different busy Tescos the past few days and each time unmasked outweighed the masked two to one! I was both surprised and heartened!
What happened to the Tesco boycott?
This is deep in London Waitrose belt too
You would think the fact that Gibraltar being one of the most vaccinated places on earth yet where cases are skyrocketing and the hospitals are full of vaccinated patients – that this would be evidence enough that any idea of making vaccinations mandatory to defeat this virus and its variants will not work.
As the inventor of mRNA technology Robert Malone has said … you are not going to vaccinate your way out of this.
You’re right. But the fact that nobody ‘in authority’ is adding two and two must suggest that this situation goes well beyond ‘reason’. No evidence is ‘landing’, no despot is turning, no people are rising. This is pure evil, and nobody can grasp its source or shape.
I am completely sympathetic to this interpretation and have spent the last several weeks there. This was an attempt to pull the situation back into the material world.
And you’re right to do so, because we need an integrated description, approach, and ultimately, strategy. Nice sparring with you 😉
PS. My main approach is historical, and my lot are used to ‘time-travel’: moving back and forth in time intellectually and analytically based on evidence. Whatever you bring to this, good luck!
It’s a very Tower of Babel moment isn’t it. It has all the ingredients: hubris, immorality, and an attempt to outwit god, this time building down into the code of life.
They can’t win, and their desperation will become self-directed annihilation.
‘Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.’ (Exodus 14: 13-15).
Thank you I appreciate that.
I’m afraid I’m not reassured by the tribal mythology of an alien people.
And it’s impossible to say much on an on-line forum!
It would also be evidence that the countries are all spreading complete bullshit that their hospitals are majority full of unvaxxed. If Gibraltar has fully vaxxed patients in hospital due to severe Covid ( and/or harms caused by the jabs ) that would rather blow that lie right out of the water. What we need is a whistle-blower in Gibraltar! lol I hate that nobody’s really coming out and contradicting the official data we are getting so the governments are able to prolong the lie and the zombies digest it like obedient disciples.
How about protesters march into hospitals and demand to see the ‘unvaxxed with Covid’? That would be a start to exposing that lie.
Which also confirms that what is happening has FA to do with a virus.
So you force everyone in Germany to get vaccinated. Everyone including the unwilling and the resistance. All vaxxed. Done and dusted. Job done!
And then the virus disappears?
The emergency measures disappear?
The multiple rounds of injections cease and desist?
The coercion disappears?
Germans go back to normal?
This culture of fear, coercion, and state-control, MAY NEVER DISAPPEAR, even if everyone agreed to do so. Too many are now passive dupes and zombies mentally, dependant with Stockholm syndrome.
Don’t get me wrong, we MUST resist. But the price of victory is never cheap. We can win, but we have to foresee a long and difficult slog: decades, not years, perhaps.
So let’s suck up the stark truth, reject despair, and keep going. What’s the alternative?
I agree that to cave now, after holding out this along without bowing to the pressure to get jabbed, would be foolish and pointless. If I gave in and got injected I’m just jumping aboard a treadmill of successive injections for an indefinite period of time. I’d rather be locked out of society and still have my health. Or my physical health anyway as all this is very much a head fuck and not good for anybody’s mental health! But you gain nothing by submitting. A few months of conditional “freedoms” before the temporary illusion is shattered unless you roll up for your next jab, all the while ignoring the facts and data that abound showing the ineffectiveness and ever-increasing harms caused by the jabs. How much of a mug does a person have to be to take a “if you can’t beat ’em join ’em” attitude? And the biggest irony is not lost on me that they’re threatening the unvaxxed to get their first jab whilst simultaneously coercing the double-jabbed to get their 3rd shot!! Utter horse shit!
Well, many of us would have otherwise floated through life, consuming, existing, etc. now we have real purpose against a common enemy and are unifying in a way we would never have needed to. A close friend of mine who is much smarter than me recently said to me, ‘maybe this is the end of the age of ‘reason’ and the moment we revert to the historical norm of magical thinking.
In our Enlightenment hubris, we forget that our ancestors knew possibilities we have scienced out of existence and they were just as real and just as valid as any of our modern ‘discoveries.’ The Age of Aquarius?!✌️
Yeah.. I’ll go with that..
Okay logic time.
We know that the thing motivating Western politicians to jab everyone with useless junk they know is toxic is not epidemiologically motivated. A young child could tell you that. Even -it turns out – the old farts in the House of Lords could tell you that. So we’re only left with a couple of options here (and I’m not accepting Big Pharma profit, this is a silly interpretation)
They are:
It really is a genocide. A genocide of predominantly the most compliant members of society but I suppose everyone in the end. A grim interpretation but I’m not quite prepared to rule it out. Smokescreen for an economic collapse. I like this theory because it explains the behaviour of the leaders (who have not simply become evil tyrants overnight); they are in fact trying to manage uncontrollable financial contagion that they know will sink the dollar and the economies in its orbit. Why have ‘covid outcomes’ been so terrible in the US, UK and Europe and not so bad in China and Japan? That’s why. This is a seismic shift of wealth from west to east. China and Russia have helped with the scam, sure, they’ve provided… Read more »
I agree with you on B but I also think the opportunity to make money out of this is also a huge driving factor, and of course the power trip for these people in Government who are largely failures in life is intoxicating.
This is a plausible explanation, but it overlooks the innate competition and factionalism within ‘the Inquisition’: i.e. the component parts of the ‘New World Order’. I can’t believe they all agree on all this stuff, since many actors want their own victory, their own predominance. There is also no absolute economic consensus, presumably. So, as a Catholic, I still favour a supernatural element in the explanation, which accepts ‘tangible’ realities but does not minimise the reality of the ‘mystery of Evil’.
The other question is: what if they all declared the ‘pandemic’ over tomorrow? Ended all coercion? Dismantled their propaganda machinery? Would it disprove our theories, or what would it take for us to ‘deflate’ our own assessments? Can normality be restored? Are we all mad? Is it just perspectival bias? (I try to doubt my own perceptions, if I can.)
So maybe a combination of ‘money, evil, factions, and an ‘x factor’ (what will happen tomorrow?)’ just about covers it for an initial stab at an integrated description of what is going on.
All straw for the winds, of course 😉
As I said below I am completely open to the influence of evil on this situation. As a lapsed Jew who thought himself a rationalist, I have spent the last few months re-examining my presumptions. I’m more open to spirituality that I’ve ever been. We lit a menorah this year, the first time I’ve engaged with any Jewish custom in 30 years. That’s how historic and significant I think current times are.
Why do they need everyone to be jabbed, if B is the answer? Wouldn’t, say. 80% compliance be sufficient? They would then actually still have a divided society, whereas if, as the likes of AM get their way, everyone is injected, where will be the division?
There is another possibility – that they underestimated ADE and they are terrified that a 20-30% control group will clearly reveal this in the next 2 years. They are, rightfully, petrified by this thought.
It seems implausible to me that the effects of ADE would have been unknown to the various scientific advisers. We certainly managed to find this information didn’t we.. I’m saying (somewhat optimistically) that they will not achieve 100% (they can’t without going full Judge Dredd and then the veneer of credibility is gone); they will simply drive society to breaking point, sowing division and fear and ‘othering’ a minority. Perfect conditions -or as good as they get- If you need to pull the economic rug from underneath everyone with plausible deniability?
Or to put it another way: How long did we seriously think we were going to be allowed to buy cheap goods from China with wealth that doesn’t exist?
You could well be correct, but I just wonder if they miscalculated the speed and extent of ADE’s appearance? That would certainly explain the stench of fear emanating from a lot of political leaders.
Entirely possible!
Never underestimate the sheer ignorance of the people who lead us, including ‘scientific advisers’. If anyone gets to the top in public life, it’s not through knowledge or ability in their discipline, even if they happen by chance to have those qualities; it’s through their ability to get to the top itself – a quality quite separate from anything else.
I’d have no trouble believing that Whitty, Vallance et al. are either unaware of ADE, or are too dim or lazy to understand its implications even if they did.
By the way, when assigning motivations, don’t fall into the trap of assuming that everyone’s motivations are necessarily those of the Great Conspiracy, even if there is one. It’s perfectly possible that lockdowns etc. are a plan to allow endless printing of money to sustain asset prices, while controlling inflation by dialling liberty up and down (I think on balance that that is indeed the case): while at the same time Merkel et al. are motivated by a messiah complex to save the ignorant masses by forced vaccination. They really do believe this rubbish.
Yes I understand that there are many, many motivations and moving parts but the simultaneous nature of seemingly insane, self destructive and despotic policies across US, Canada, UK, Aus, NZ and Western Europe requires an explanation. I have seen some tyrannical policies in other places (looking at you The Philippines) but this is a western phenomenon really, so we must try to identify an overarching.. Hate to say it… conspiracy.
Just some humans doing what some humans have always done – grab power by whatever means they can get away with, and keep doing it until someone stops them. Folly and evil – closely related.
But why now? The status quo was pretty good for our current tormentors !
Good work CG.
Unfortunately I believe we are living through point a).
Gates has openly and repeatedly stated that he wants to see 7 billion of us removed from the planet, Schwab is certainly on board as are the Windsors.
Bozo’s father is a well known eugenecist, Jabid has revealed his utter contempt for his fellow man with his “so what?” tweet. And look at some of the others:
Krankie, Jacinda, Andrews, Biden, Bozo, Michie, Trudeau, Macron etc. Their contempt for their fellow humans is off the scale.
It’s the Reset and Agenda 2030.
It’s the explanation I am loathe to accept HP! I guess my question would be why now, and why at such risk when the status quo was working so well for them?
“we will see the downfall of these wretched people.”
Well, we know where they live!
Just needs her fringe pushed across a bit more and a Charlie Chaplin tash.

I also love the fact that both politicians and public health officials conveniently, completely and blatantly ignore the now proven fact that the vaccines do not prevent transmission. It’s like this fact doesn’t even exist.
I mention it to people, and they often say ” yes, I know”….and equally often add that even so, it’s “better than nothing”.
No! Your immune system is the best thing of all for the vast majority of people! But that doesn’t seem to get a look in.
Johnson admitted this at the beginning of November – the MSM completely ignored the implications of his statement.
My thoughts exactly. The big, fat elephant in the room that never gets acknowledged by the science-deniers! As the meme says, “If the vaccines work, why mandate them? If the vaccines don’t work, why mandate them?” If this is not the ultimate proof they’ve an ulterior motive and this is nothing to do with public health, I don’t know what is. It’s staring people right in the face!
Allegedly they prevent transmission by a certain percentage. I still have no idea whether this is true or not. Some say yes, some say no.
The daughter of a prominent East German Stasi member neglecting to mention the fact that 70% to 80% of Covid patients in hospitals are double vaccinated. But to paraphrase the words of Chris Morris – that’s ‘good covid’.
It’s not true for German hospitals (yet).
A leopard never changes its spots.
Germany and its neighbour, Austria, oh so easily put those old tyrant boots back on again…
So where is the worldwide condemnation?
Yeah. Funny how things in the past started in Austria and then spread to Germany!
