Anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine passport protests erupted across Europe on Saturday, according to media photos and videos.

Thousands upon thousands of demonstrators were seen in London, Dublin, Paris, Rome, Athens, and other cities across Europe, according to footage and news reports.

The demonstrations in France appeared to be the tensest, with riot police firing tear gas as clashes erupted in central Paris.

Police sought to push back demonstrators near the capital’s Gare Saint-Lazare railway station after protesters had knocked over a police motorbike ridden by two officers, news footage showed. Scuffles between police and demonstrators also broke out the Champs-Elysees thoroughfare, where teargas was fired and traffic was halted, it showed.

France’s Interior Ministry said that about 160,000 people partook in the protests on Saturday—sharply up from 114,000 a week before that, reported Reuters.

The reason for the protest, in part, was due to pending legislation in France’s Parliament that would set up a vaccine passport system as well as a vaccination mandate for all healthcare workers. The passport bill would force people to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test result to enter restaurants and other public areas—which critics have described as needlessly draconian.

Protesters railed against the proposed bill, saying, “no to shameful pass” while denigrating French President Emmanuel Macron as a “tyrant.”

“We need to wait a little bit before the French people can decide … I think a part of France is always going to be unwilling and that blackmail and threats won’t work,” protester Ayoub Bouglia, an engineer, told The Associated Press for why he’s demonstrating.

Thousands of Italian demonstrators gathered in Rome, Naples, Verona, and Milan on Saturday, according to videos and photos published online.

In Verona, thousands chanted, “No Green Pass,” referring to Italy’s government decision to implement a vaccine-passport-like system for people to enter local fairs, stadiums, theaters, and other gathering areas.

Also on Saturday, demonstrators in Dublin, Ireland, emphatically called on the government to rescind lockdown and mask measures.

London, England, also drew significant anti-vaccine demonstrations, with protesters waving flags and singing songs.

Some 4,000 people, meanwhile, appeared outside of the Greek parliament in central Athens to protest against mandatory vaccinations, DW and other news agencies reported. Greek authorities used tear gas on some protesters.

Booger says
https://summit.news/2021/08/16/businesses-are-refusing-to-enforce-frances-vaccine-passport



Anecdotal evidence detailed by former Google software engineer Mike Hearn strongly suggests that most restaurants, cafes and other businesses in France are not enforcing the country’s controversial vaccine passport system.

As we highlighted last week, on the first day the new program was in place, police were visibly patrolling bars and cafes demanding customers show proof they’ve had the jab.

However, this seems to have largely been a bluff as just days later, businesses and venues have become very lax at checking people’s papers despite the threat of large fines.

“I decided to do a simple experiment to find out: always present an expired test even though I had a valid negative one, and see what happens,” writes Hearn.

“Over a four day stay I was required to show a valid pass exactly zero times; that includes at the airports in both directions. Compliance is absolutely min viable and often lower.”

“At small businesses enforcement was non-existent: sometimes the pass requirement was ignored entirely, other times we were asked “do you have a pass” and our answer wasn’t checked. One restaurant had come up with a clever way to detect police stings without requiring customers to actually present a pass. As expected, enforcement was stricter by larger firms, however even there we saw the following:

– Test certificates being checked once and then swapped for a token that doesn’t expire.
– Expired tests being accepted.
– People accepting paper test certificates without scanning them.
– Scanning tests and then not looking at the screen to see the results.
– Accepting QR codes that failed to scan.”

Hearn also reveals how mask mandates in theme parks and other venues are also not being followed, despite signs everywhere ordering people to cover their faces, while social distancing is also a “forgotten memory.”

Images showing empty cafes and bars on the first day the system was introduced may have spooked venues into taking a hands off approach.

In passing the law but failing to ensure that it is enforced, France is following the same model as Israel, where the point of introducing the system wasn’t really to enforce it, but merely as a means of bullying young people into getting the vaccine.

As we highlighted last week, despite the odious and draconian nature of the vaccine passport system, President Macron asserted that the it was actually introduced to protect people’s “freedom,” which is like saying putting you in prison is for your own safety.

"This Has Gotta Stop"

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

I knew that something was going on wrong
When you started laying down the law

I can't move my hands
I break out in sweat
I wanna cry
Can't take it anymore

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

I've been around
Long long time
Seen it all
And I'm used to being free

I know who I am
Try to do what's right
So lock me up and throw away the key

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

Thinkin' of my kids
What's left for them
And then what's coming down the road

The light in the tunnel
Could be the southbound train
Lord, please help them with their load

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

This has gotta stop
Enough is enough
I can't take this BS any longer

It's gone far enough
If you wanna claim my soul
You'll have to come and break down this door

France: Protests Against Covid-19 Vaccine Health Pass Continue For Sixth Consecutive Weekend

Police, protesters clash as thousands march against COVID curbs in Berlin
Thousands of protesters gathered in Berlin on Saturday to demonstrate against government leaders considering restrictions on unvaccinated individuals.

Tens of thousands of people in Germany and France protested against COVID-19-related restrictions and vaccine passports over the weekend, saying the restrictions infringe on their rights.

German police had banned nine planned demonstrations for Aug. 28, including one from the Stuttgart-based Querdenker movement, the most visible anti-lockdown movement in Germany. A court ruled in favor of allowing one event, planned for 500 people, on Aug. 28 and 29.

More than 2,000 police officers were stationed around the city to respond to those who showed up despite the protest bans. At one Aug. 28 protest in Mitte, Germany, German media reported that police used pepper spray to disperse a crowd. The crowd eventually thinned as it began to rain.

Demonstrators in Dusseldorf held banners that read, “Stop police arbitrariness,” “Protect the fundamental right to demonstrate,” and “Repel attacks on freedom of assembly,” German media outlet Deutsche Welle reported. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia is planning an assembly law that its critics say limits their ability to protest. The state government said that the proposed law is needed to prevent demonstrations from turning violent.

https://spectatorworld.com/topic/macron-covid-passports-causing-intergenerational-warfare/


Jérôme Fourquet, a veteran political analyst, warned last week that the protest movement is potentially far more dangerous to France than the Yellow Vests. Their anger was directed at the president and his government, but this time ‘it is a confrontation between citizens and incidents could be more numerous and less controlled.’


Fourquet’s bleak depiction of the state of the nation is echoed by the writer and former advisor to Nicolas Sarkozy, Maxime Tandonnet. He described the division not just as generational but also one of class. ‘It’s a constant in the history of France,’ he noted, ‘that those who are the first to rise up in the defense of liberty…are in the general the young and the less fortunate.’

What worries Tandonnet specifically is that those who are most in favor of the passport are ‘bien pensants’ who don’t conceal their contempt for those participating in the demonstrations each Saturday. The disdain is mutual, says Tandonnet. ‘Rarely in recent history have the French hated each other as much as they do today…the situation is terribly volatile and explosive.’

The COVID passport has been a success in that it has achieved Macron’s objective of boosting vaccine uptake among the most reluctant. But at what cost to society? The young will not forget the way they have been bullied and threatened by their president, and nor are they likely to forget the selfishness of the 68ers who are as spoiled now as they were half a century ago.

Macron’s vaccine passport is uniting French anti-fascists and nationalists
A troubling fissure is emerging between the generations in France

August 2, 2021 | 12:01 pm

Two weeks ago, according to the government, approximately 114,000 marched; and last week it was 161,000. To break the 200,000 mark is an indication of how the protest movement is growing.

The demonstrators come from all cross-sections of society, and are overwhelmingly passive. The march I witnessed in Paris on Saturday featured an impressive array of fancy dress, dozens of children, a lot of dancing, and scores of placards relaying various messages, none of which were complimentary to President Macron.

What was also notable was the low-key police presence. I saw none of the riot squad, only the regular Paris police, some of whom chatted happily to the demonstrators as they filed past.

Unfortunately the coverage in much of the British media has reflected none of this spirit. The headline on the Sky News website on Sunday morning was ‘Vaccine passport critics clash with police in Paris.’ Underneath was a brief video clip of a few angry demonstrators confronting riot police at the Place de la Bastille.


The British press is entirely corrupt as well, in the pockets of globalist Pharma companies.

It's nice to have Europeans protest tyranny for a change!


https://www.rt.com/uk/533344-london-vaccine-passport-protest/


Protesters have packed into central London in a demonstration against the government’s ongoing plans to introduce so-called vaccine passports. Though largely ignored by the media, “thousands” of people reportedly took part.
The protest march kicked off at Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon and set off across Vauxhall Bridge and toward Clapham Common. London’s Metropolitan Police reported road blockages and bus delays along the route, and officers remained in close proximity to the marchers at all times.

Video footage showed a dense crowd of people in attendance. Some waved religious banners, some held placards opposing vaccination full stop, and others demanded the government drop its plans to require patrons of certain venues be vaccinated against Covid-19.

I'm telling everybody here:

If this vaccine IS a jab, it is our moral responsibility to kill off everybody that pushed this vaccine and to sterilize all their progeny. I don't care if the kids are 8.

If they're really pulling this shit, we end their genetic line, not just them.

It is certainly the government's moral responsibility to try, and then hang, everyone who is proven to have participated in this crime against humanity, starting with Fauci.

If the government will not provide justice, then the government is not legitimate and must be replaced, exactly as the Declaration of Independence states.

But children are innocent until they commit crimes of their own.

If the French don’t revolt, then they really are as cucked and a bunch of pussies as we always thought they were.


Come on - if the French are pussies, Americans are the pussy's pussies.

We have LGBTQ nonsense being taught in grade school. Kids are being asked about their "gender preference" in Kindergarten. We've bombed 7 nations in the last 20 years - who supports that? Nobody opposes it. We've been in lockdown for over a year, over a 14 day "flatten the curve" emergency. We allow our press to constantly lie to us. Most Americans continue to use websites that censor them. Tons of Americans allow a fucking telescreen from 1984 to be in their home in the form of Alexa, or Google Home, or just a plain old smart tv. We allow the government to make illegal immigrants "illegal" and don't demand they enforce the law. We allow our current "president" to accept bribes by his crackhead son selling bribes in the form of "art". This is our current president and his son:

We put up with BLATANT hypocrisy.

We are told we are the land of the free and the brave. That's complete bullshit. We allowed an election to be stolen. We allowed George W. Bush get away with lying us into a war, which we know for a FACT he lied us into a war.

Don't criticize the French when you're an American. We're the biggest fucking cucked pussies in the fucking world.
81   AmericanKulak   2021 Sep 2, 9:32pm  

The French get up to plenty of bullshit in Africa, it's just done on a smarter and more limited scale because of the constraints of money. They don't have the world reserve currency.

The French also elected Hollande who promised not to touch worker's pensions, hours, and wages, which he promptly welched on. Macron was a compromise candidate to avoid LePen, really.

Also, France has a long tradition of public dissent displayed in riots and are far more 'expressive' than Americans.

That being said, however, I agree that at this point, Americans are in no position to criticize France.

Not with scores of people in confinement with no bail for some misdemeanors.

Thousands Protest in Turkey Against COVID-19 Vaccine Passports

Thousands of people gathered in the Maltepe district of Istanbul on Sept. 11 to protest against COVID-19-related restrictions, including vaccine mandates, saying the restrictions infringe on their rights.


I admire them. It is really dangerous to protest in Turkey.
