[PJMedia] One of the main problems with overly stringent laws is that only some people will follow them, while others will ignore or even exploit them. The result, all too often, is that law-abiding citizens will be put at a disadvantage vis-à-vis law-breakers.
Overly restrictive gun laws offer a prime example: only those who already "play by the rules" will obey such restrictions, whereas criminal elements will naturally ignore them. The result is that those who merely seek to defend themselves may end up being disarmed, whereas those targeting them will be armed.
Unsurprisingly, this topsy-turvy phenomenon is also evident in the "brave new world" ushered in by COVID-19. Not only, as a John Hopkins study recently revealed, have "ill-founded" and draconian lockdowns had "devastating effects" on economies and societies; but in some cases, they have even empowered murderers and disempowered their victims.
This comes out clearly in a recent report titled, "Militia Failed to Obey Covid-19 Lockdown, Killed 24 Christians Observing Government Orders." According to it, a group of Islamic forces of Evil "wielding AK-47s and machetes ... killed twenty-four people, who were observing COVID-19 lockdown orders"—and, as such, were sitting ducks.
The [lockdown] order was issued by the state government. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... this group of Fulani ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity... gunnies failed to abide by the order and managed to pass through military stations on their way to the Kaura village. The attack, which took place in a Christian village, lasted about thirty minutes.
Such stories can be heard repeatedly in the surrounding villages ... and hundreds of others across Nigeria’s fertile Middle Belt.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a community leader explained how, along with lockdown rules, gun bans are also leading to the exposure and subsequent massacre of Christians:
The government and security agencies have failed us. We don’t know where to go, we don’t know who to believe in. It is the constitutional responsibility of government to protect lives and property, but this government has failed us woefully. People are asking why the government allows herdsmen to move about freely with guns to kill people? Since the government has failed in tackling these killers, we should be allowed to also carry arms like them.
Finally, and perhaps unsurprisingly, "The community leader said the gunnies claimed more lives than the pandemic in his village. ’We can’t farm or go to school. The Fulani gunnies will attack you. We are suffering.’"
To be sure, this is just one of many examples of how COVID measures have been used to discriminate against or persecute Christians throughout the Moslem world.
A view from the other side of the line of contact, the Ukrainian side.
For the first time in Russia, they officially started talking about mass graves in the Donbass, these reports are not new and contradictory. [Korrespondent] Literally the next day after the statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin that "what is happening in the Donbass" is "genocide", the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia published a report on a criminal case in connection with "mass graves of civilians" allegedly found on the territory of Donbass controlled by militants. persons".

[Sledcom] Disregarding international agreements and acts, since April 2014, representatives of the Ukrainian security forces have been constantly shelling the settlements of Donbass, using indiscriminate lethal weapons designed to most effectively destroy people and infrastructure. The consequence of this was not only the destruction of residential buildings and life support facilities, but also the death and injury of thousands of civilians, Russian-speaking groups that do not participate in the military conflict.
The intent to exterminate the inhabitants of Donbass is obvious - the Russian investigation recorded hundreds of such facts, qualifying as the use of prohibited means and methods of warfare. In the course of the investigation of these crimes, data were obtained on spontaneous common unmarked graves, which were forced to be formed outside specially designated places in connection with the ongoing hostilities.
So, in August - October 2021, in the area of the city of Snezhnoye, the town of Slavyanoserbsk, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe residential area Sokogorovka of Pervomaisk, the village of Vidnoye-1 near Lugansk and on the outskirts of the village. Verkhneshevyrevka, Krasnodonsky district, 5 spontaneous mass graves were discovered. Of these, the remains of at least 295 civilians who died as a result of indiscriminate shelling by Ukrainian armed forces in 2014 were exhumed.It is already known that among the remains there are bodies of women of different ages.
The Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation initiated a criminal case on this fact under Part 1 of Art. 356 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - ill-treatment of the civilian population, the use of means and methods in an armed conflict prohibited by an international treaty.
The Investigative Committee will continue to take all possible measures to implement the principle of inevitability of punishment for those responsible for committing crimes in Donetsk and Luhansk lands. Says Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
PS. The United States officially refuses to consider what is happening in the Donbass a genocide.
Who knew the Russians had an official sense of humour?
The Russian Foreign Ministry has called on Western media outlets to publish a full list of dates on which Russia will invade Ukraine for the year ahead, so Russian diplomats can schedule their vacations accordingly.
[TASS] Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has jokingly asked American and British media outlets to release a schedule of Russia’s "upcoming invasions" of Ukraine for the current year.
"I’d like to request US and British disinformation: Bloomberg, The New York Times and The Sun media outlets to publish the schedule for our upcoming invasions for the year. I’d like to plan my vacation," the Russian diplomat said on her Telegram channel Wednesday.
The West and Kiev have recently been echoing allegations about Russia’s potential invasion of Ukraine recently. Western media outlets keep enthusiastically announcing "the date of invasion," which has been repeatedly postponed. In particular, according to the Politico newspaper, US President Joe Biden claimed that Russia could allegedly attack Ukraine on February 16. This steady disinformation blitz by the Western media has already resulted in a sharp deterioration of Kiev’s economic situation, with investments and businesses fleeing Ukraine, while the energy prices in Europe are growing. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov castigated these statements as an "empty and groundless" escalation of tensions, emphasizing that Russia posed no threat to anyone.

Maria Zakharova just wants to know when and where she needs buy her fancy green uniform in an army surplus store so she can join all those Russians "holidaying" in Donbass.
She may not qualify as a little green man though.

a lot of Russians are intelligent and have a sense of humor -- and a lot of these have emigrated to the US or Germany

There is a new 9 minute briefing from Brandon, and the admin's grasp of what is going on.
It is......sad. It's sad.
He talks like he just had a peanut butter sandwich, doing the squinty eye thing which make the whole ocular look black like a doll's eyes, and I think somebody does a giggle "Goodbye" when he just quits and leaves.
He and his administration have lied so brazenly, so preposterously, about so many things, that literally nothing this sick muppet blathers has any credibility now.
They lied about Trump being a Russian agent when in fact Trump was ten times harder on Russia -- and got far better results re restraining Russia -- than any president before or since.
They lied about the Blessed Martyr St George Fentanyl.
They lied about "peaceful protests."
They lied about Afghanistan.
They lied about their spectacular, surreal abandonment of our southern border.
They lied about "temporary" inflation.
They lied about their failed 'vaccine' "stopping the spread by Fall" 2021.
They lied about our history.
They lied about parents as "domestic terrorists," "insurrection," "white s'premacy" in the military, and on and on. They lied about his worthless, shit bird, doper son Hunter.
This decrepit, corrupt, dessicated old pervert and his freakshow cabinet do nothing but lie, fabricate, sneer, slander, and silence their opposition.
They're lying now.
They neither deserve nor can expect anyone's deference or obedience.

Here is how I see what will happen.
NOTHING, until after the Statues of Of Limitations, runs out. Note: Murder has no limitation.
WHY NOTHING?
My own personal example...Just 2 weeks ago I was hammered hard and accused of infecting and killing others by not being a VAX'er. All by 2, now UBER Pro-VAX'ers, that I have known for over 20+ years and had called friends.
Despite the fact, they knew I was just out of the hospital from C-19/22 and I now had acquired Natural SURVIVOR Immunity meant nothing to them. Getting VAX'd and boosters was all they had in their heads.
BUT!
How the rest of the group reacted mimicked how most of America also handles the facts. They went quiet, despite the official data and numbers staring them in the face.
WHY? As we have read, again and again. Likely because of the fear that the social media blow torches would be aimed at them if the engaged in the discussion. Like how REAL Experts opposing the mRNA VAX were portrayed as genocidal villains by MSM, DC, and others with far far less knowledge of the virus.

It's a religion for people who don't believe in God. Just like gerbil worming. You can't reason with a religious zealot. You should not waste your time trying.

Their religion is more serious than your religion, because they have disciples like Tony Fauxi, Joy Behar and Lester Holt.

"others with far far less knowledge of the virus", I have seen this replayed many times. Family children now adults browbeat mothers or fathers, one a well established endocrinologist and a just retired Virologist. Then just retired FP doctor retired after 45 years who believed in natural immunity. All but the last got vaxed to shut up non medical family brow beaters. One called her mother several tines a day from LA to Maryland. Now boosters demanded. Then another doctor who has successfully treated all who came to her with covid (100%) had to close her practice and go Web MD to continue but they still are trying to have her medical license revoked. It is like talking to a Democrat, Biden is the best president we have ever had. Best economy. Seriously this is my real world contacts to many every day.
