NYC Workers Pro-Choice, Anti-Mandate : Hold The Line!

 

 October 28, 2021. 11 am. NYC- outside Gracie Mansion.

On Nov 1st Mayor De Blasio will send city workers home. Fire them if not vaxxed. Creating a manufactured crisis. City workers who refuse to begin their vaccine series will be terminated ...

Fire and EMS unions have fought the mandate since its inception, claiming the weekly COVID tests for unvaccinated employees were keeping everyone safe. The Mayor should have hammered out a vaccination compromise with union leaders instead of threatening to take away workers’ pay, they said. [NY Daily News]

NY Post: FDNY firehouses shuttered

The FDNY’s vaccination rate was at 72 percent at the end of Friday. the city’s deadline for workers to get at least one shot of the Covid vaccine. The mandate is expected to be enforced beginning Monday. The NYPD’s number stood at 84 percent vaccinated.

A memo sent Friday to the members of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association said it was “still in negotiations” with the Office of Labor Relations “for an extension to the deadline as well as alternate methods of implementation to maintain the safety of the public and choice for our membership.”

The memo, which was seen by The Post, advised all members, whether vaccinated or not, to report for duty when scheduled and to make notations in the fire company’s journal about why they were asked to leave. De Blasio has held firm, saying Thursday the city would not extend the deadline.

Flickr Part 2 - HOLD THE LINE!

A high number of city emergency medical technicians and paramedics called in sick Saturday suffering side effects from their first COVID-19 vaccine shot, leaving the city down 40 ambulances, FDNY officials said. A majority of the ambulances out of service were in the Bronx, sources said.  [NY Daily News]

What follows are 6 short videos excerpted from an hour long protest outside Gracie Mansion.

Part 1 -excerpted from an hour long protest. First speaker, stressed accepting natural immunity. Why aren't they recognized. "We're not anti-vax we're pro-choice. We give our bodies and our souls to this job" (FDNY) Also, not political. not Left/Right.  (He was annoyed with political signs.) Hold The Line!

Part 2 ."We took an oath. We will honor that oath. we will be there to work on Nov. 1st. We're not sick. We will be there to work on Nov. 1st.We were told exemptions for first responders. We were keeping fire houses open. Yet our careers are in jeopardy. 9 days to make 'choice'. Over 70% FDNY are vaxxed. Where's the science!"

 
Part 3. "This is a manufactured crisis. We will have to close down fire houses. Sanitation workers, EMTs sent home. Police. If the mayor sends them home this whole system will collapse. NEGOTIATE with your workers. Respect them. WHY are they doing this. HOLD THE LINE."

Part 4. " We were there for NYC. The mayor says he's a friend of labor, but he has turned his back on labor/city workers.We built this country. These sky scrapers. All we ask is to be treated with dignity and respect. The mayor took an oath to protect the citizens of this city. He turned his back on us. Mr. Mayor: STAND DOWN."

Part 5.  A woman spoke, a powerful speaker, I think her name is Jackie. "We always showed up to work. We want to work. So I ask this question: If the weekly testing was working. Why are YOU , Mayor de Blasio eliminating it! We are not anti-vax. We are pro-choice. we should be able to make a personal medical decision. Not to be forced. No mandates. THIS is how to say thank you, mr. mayor, to the essential workers who take care of the citizens of New York."

Part 6 -  woman speaker continues. "The government of the United States cannot over ride our Constitutional rights. Our Health Care rights. Let me clear, we are not anti- vax. We are PRO choice. You are not alone. WE stand with you and your families. Hold The LINE."

NY Post: de Blasio won't budge . Creating a manufactured crisis. On Nov 1st  Mayor de Blasio will send city workers home. Fire them if not vaxxed. It's an OUTRAGE!

Rally For Freedom of Choice - No to Vaccine Mandates- Times Sq

 Oct 16, 2021. Another Rally for Freedom of Choice opposing vaccine mandates gathered in Times Square. It began at 1 pm, with speakers at 2 pm, followed by a media march at 3:30 to the NY Times and CNN HQ.

Climate change. The Great Reset. Build Back Better. These are all just excuses for bringing about Global Communism. (Twitter)

You are the ones who are standing up for your values. You are the ones who are going to save the country for yourselves, for your children and for the 67%,  when they finally come to their senses. (RFK Jr)

Flickr slide show: A large, diverse and enthusiastic crowd had already gathered by 1:30. "Say NO to vaccine mandates" was the issue across party lines. Dancers performed. The National Anthem was sung followed by a young, black woman who sang a lovely His Eye is On the Sparrow. Then two speakers from the Children's Health Defense, Mary Holland and Robt F. Kennedy Jr., who was the main speaker.The crowd showered RFK Jr with thank yous and selfies, before and even as he tried to leave.

Part 1 video (of 3 videos) of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaking. (Kennedy is the founder and chairman of Children's Health Defense) Excerpt text from Kennedy, Part 1:

"There is no PANDEMIC exception to the U.S.Constitution or the Bill of Rights.  (Even though pandemics during Revolutionary War,  small pox epidemic and the next summer, malaria in Virginia) : No Pandemic Exception.

They got rid of Property Rights.
Closed every business in this country for a year.
Constitution says you must have Due Process (a Public Hearing) and pay just  compensation.

They got rid of Freedom of Religion.
Closed churches for a year with no science behind it
(But, Fauci kept liquor stores open).

ACLU giving annual Constitutional Champion Award to Fauci (Boos) Do you think he s a constitutional champion (NOs)

 

Part 1 (Kennedy con't)  Censorship - Facebook. Instagram. (They shut down) any statement that departs from official government pronouncements or claims from pharmaceutical companies.

James Madison- re 1st Amendment- all the other rights depend of it.

The first amendment is a problem for them. They no longer believe people can be trusted. "We can no longer trust the people. We have to protect them from dangerous thoughts, from dangerous misinformation. We have to LIE to them. (It's) the only way to continue to have peace." That is the end of democracy - you have lost faith it. No longer call yourself the Democratic Party.

VIDEO Part 2 (9:49) - RFK Jr continues:

 

(Kennedy excerpted text Part 2) [re business lock downs]

60%, many black owned for three generations are closed forever. bankrupted. (boos)

Jury Trials and the U.S. Constitution. They got rid of jury trials. Cannot sue for injury - no matter how toxic the ingredient. No American shall be deprived of the right of a trial.   Jury of their peers. What if someone cripples you for life. What about due process of law.

Regulatory agencies pass laws. Can't get rid of them. No accountability. Can't vote them out. Tyrants.

Masking. Lock-downs. Social-Distancing. (paraphrasing) Did not follow any of the required methods of notification and public response, considering the impact. Nobody ever made a citation. Public hearings. (describes Fauci's)  diktats of a technocrat. Do what you are told and keep your mouth shut. They ordered us to behave.

Everyone in this crowd has a feeling of discomfort re what is happening to them. What happened to our country. How did all these countries in the world, in one lock-step move, pivot and end democracy. Impose authoritarian control all at once. All over the globe. How did that happen.

[a word I don't understand] that is a table-top pandemic simulation that was put on by Bill Gates WITH the CIA  in Oct 2019. Present were social media titans, Bloomberg News. Major power sectors of our country were participating. In October...

September is probably when the viruses escaped Wuhan, according to internet chatter. So a month later Covid is already circulating. They were practicing a drill: what will they do if a Covid pandemic. They did not practice how to make people well. To build stronger immune systems. How to protect the constitution during a pandemic. NO. What they were practicing was how to use the pandemic as an excuse to clamp down totalitarian control and eliminate the Bill Of Rights.

VIDEO Part 3 (9:47) - RFK Jr. conclusion

 

(excerpted text Part 3) How do we make money on a pandemic. (That's what they're practicing)

How do we get the social media and MSM to keep people from talking about the possibility of a lab generated pandemic. That's all they were talking about. How do we shut people up. They were worried. How do we stop people from talking. (How do we stop Bobby Kennedy on IG when he says we should investigate) 100's of thousands of people practiced these simulations. And they were not practicing how to heal people.

Researching the CIA (re a $1200 manual that is almost impossible to get):

How to go into indigenous countries/impose foreign centralized control ... by the CIA. Destroy local economy. destroy social and family relationships. erode institutions. pump up fear. scapegoat. all the alchemies of totalitarianism. Once they have sown total chaos, come in with centralized control and take over.

CIA for many years did research and how to control individual and mass behavior. How to impose mass control on a population. (150 universities in this country were made to be apart of this study for mass control) most famous in mid-60s was at Yale (home of the CIA). Cross-section of the country and a man in a white lab coat (claiming to be a doctor) 67% did what they were told. Even though they were in tears. Violating their conscience. They found that authority figures control values and conscience.

(Like) Fauci. The guy in the white lab coat. Never treated a patient. Telling us to violate our conscience. 67 % co-operated. BUT 33% REFUSED. (CHEERS- Freedom. Freedom.)

600 people on the West Coast said they are going to lose their jobs. He (Kennedy)  said you really should think about that. They said no, we're going to die on this hill.

A generation of Americans in 1776 felt  it was better to be dead then to lose your freedoms. And because of them we have the United States Constitution, so we could enjoy the Bill of Rights that the 67% have given away for free over the last year.

We need to go get it back.

You are the ones who are standing up for your values. You are the ones who are going to save the country for yourselves, for your children and for the 67%,  when they finally come to their senses.

(Cheers from crowd. Thank You's. We Love You and Bobby. Bobby. Bobby.)

Next VIDEO (6:31) excerpted clips of attorney,  Mary Holland (Children's Health Defense) as "We Will Not Comply" rang through the streets.

 “Once I learned about the extreme liability protection that industry and healthcare providers enjoy, and the suppression of accurate science and information about vaccine risks and injury, I understood the need for immediate, radical systemic change. I have been devoted to that change ever since.” (M.Holland at Children's Health Defense)

"The reason that Hydroxychloroquine and other therapeutics were blocked is because if something worked, they couldn't give emergency use approval to the vaccines. It all makes sense now." [Twitter]

Last video (2:09)Excerpted clips of opening speaker and the crowd boldly challenging the vaccine mandates.

 

Re the Black/African flag seen in the crowd created by artist David Hammons.  (The African-American flag) "...  a massive political statement for the African-American community, inspired by two contrasting symbols: the U.S flag and the Pan-African flag, the two flags merged to expose the feeble history behind the flag of the United States and the mixed messages it conveys about their history."

A political statement flag at a 'No Vaccine Mandate' Rally seems to represent separatism, instead of unification of purpose.

The Media March to the NY Times and CNN HQ at 3:30 was covered by Scootercaster:

As the challenges roll on:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Oct. 21 called for a special legislative session to consider bills countering vaccine and mask mandates. The move follows a series of CCP virus vaccine mandates imposed by the administration of President Joe Biden. This does not sit well with the Florida Governor, and he has “had enough” of federal interference into state business ... [Epoch Times]

Courts Aren’t Stopping Vaccine Mandates But Workers Are

The U.S. judiciary system is doing a poor job of stopping, blocking, and delaying COVID-19 vaccine coercion, but workers who have toiled throughout the pandemic are using their voices to pressure companies into laying off of forcing the jab.

The courts’ lack of vigor for reinforcing personal freedom has resulted in the firing of many people, but workers are determined to fight back. Employees all across the nation have protested, and some of their efforts are being rewarded.

In conclusion:

"A generation of Americans in 1776 felt  it was better to be dead then to lose your freedoms. And because of them we have the United States Constitution, so we could enjoy the Bill of Rights that the 67% have given away for free over the last year. We need to go get it back." (RFK Jr)

From the Left: Women's March NYC Defends Reproductive Rights 2021

 October 2, 2021. 2 pm. Foley Square.
"Build mass mobilizations as the road to victory
the real power is in the streets"
(and they weren't just talking about abortion rights)

The Annual Women’s March drew a huge crowd of men and women (from the LEFT) focused on Supreme Court abortion cases, so they claimed.

It was so much more than just abortion since the protestors represented the usual hard core Left, aka Communist/Socialists.

  The 'right-wing' bogey man motivates the crowd:

''The right wing’s self-named “vigilante justice” will not restrict its tactics to reliance on the law. This law is fascist in nature by giving all men the right to deny the rights of every woman. The only way to defeat this law is for a new women’s movement – linked to other civil rights movements, fighting by any means necessary – to give all woman the ability to retain control over their bodies and to defeat Trump’s misogynist policies.''

One-party country - no opposition - means They win/We lose.

Their dream. Our nightmare

-boy oh boy - do they HATE Texas

 

Independence is frowned upon ... bigly.

Flickr Slide Show- Part 1 . Repubs NOT welcomed.

Convinced they are under siege, at WAR with anyone not embracing the New World Order aka Republicans, the Left's woke/progressive plan will lead to a totalitarianism ''utopia'': the End Game.

Therefore: The RIGHT must be stopped.

.Part 2  Lots of signs (some crudely) illuminating the One Party. One Rule players.

. Listed on posters and banners were many orgs from the Left protesting the "Fascist Right". They are Believers in the dogma: Defending Women's Rights to Abortion BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.BAMN- https://www.bamn.com.

Marxism on the Rise, Socialist Revolution,Freedom Socialist Party,Workers World Party, Ethical Culture, RevComs.us, LeftVoice.org, Refuse Fascism, Physicians for a National Health Program, Spartacist/Syc, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Socialist Alternative, National Organization of Women, Repro Justice Now, NWROC, BK Forge, Village Independent Democrats For Choice, Upper West Side Move On, Step Up New York, East End Temple.

The Party Line Rules.

Part 3 Slideshow - Since birth or abortion means a woman bleeds, don't see what DRAMATIC bloody white pants achieves. Unless. ...  just asking ... will a legal abortion not bleed?

Link to the NY Daily News report on the march after they left Foley

Seems the Women's March still fears President Trump!

''.... many Trump supporters who are prepared to contest for power have a full political agenda, including driving out immigrants and minorities, subordinating all women to the whim of every man, and creating an authoritarian government with Donald Trump in charge.

We know that a majority of white voters elected Donald Trump president in 2016. Trump’s racist, misogynist, crazed cult followers are perfectly willing to do anything they can to place Donald Trump back in power, even if that means giving up their Constitutional rights and accepting fascist rule.''

The ranting of fools.
Its not just about abortion rights

. 

The Time is NOW to END the Tyranny of the Left.

NYC No Passport/Mandates Walk Out #2 - Foley Sq

Democrats have destroyed:
-Science with climate crap and covid
-Medicine with Obamacare and covid
-Elections with election fraud
-Academia with communism, CRT, Jew hatred
-Government with corruption
What’s left?

Sept 27, 2021. Walking to Foley Square for the No Passports/Mandate rally, I passed by City Hall where the sidewalk was busy with NY's beleaguered Taxi drivers and their on going protest

NY Taxi Workers@NYTWA
[https://twitter.com/NYTWA]

"Debt forgiveness now. If you want to see the power of drivers, come out The@nyctaxiproposal won't end the crisis of drivers earning below minimum wage as income is absorbed by high mortgage payments. Thousands will eventually lose our jobs & face liens on bank accounts & our homes. They created the crisis & want to keep us locked in it."

 Moving on to Foley, I found a small protest against vaccine passport and mandates. I had expected a much larger crowd.

 Jo Rose, co-organizer. Kevin Peters, a co-organizer of the rally,“This is not just about health, it’s about control it’s about surveillance, its about tyranny, and restructuring our entire economy, health system, and education system.” [Epoch Times]

 

The press was hovering and SVU was lined up to film .... and one protest leader was being very snippy with the press (ABC in particular). I noticed the reporter did manage to find a willing person to answer questions.

 Otherwise everyone seemed to be just hanging and chatting so I left after an uneventful 30 minutes.

 

Flickr Slide Show:

.Flash forward three hours: Who knew (and WHEN did they know it) that the event would grow in to a very large protest. Definitely frustrated to have missed the actual rally at the end and their very strong opinions.

Blk speaker: "I don’t care if the vaccine is approved by the FDA, the CIA, the FBI… if it’s not approved by G-o-d, I don’t want it inside of me”

@ScooterCasterNY was there when the crowd expanded.

Meanwhile, the plandemic drama continues to grow with warnings of virus mutations, causing the gullible to panic and obey [ NY Daily News]

 [https://gellerreport.com/2021/10/tyranny-biden-vaccine-madate-iunterstate-travel.html/]

But, the leftards do not relent, smugly characterizing anti-mandate vaxers as the neanderthals aka the enemy to mankind.

Oct 4, 2021- "The anti vaxers are a hellish stew of MAGAs, QAnon, anti vax, anti mandate, 'my body my choice' (which oddly has been a pro choice chant for 50 years) stop the steal, conspiracy theorists, 5G chips in your brain. I just don't get it" S Bachom

As this report winds down, caught a link to this video at rumble:

InfoWars /War Room: "... the shocking amount of news that is being ignored by the masses as the true danger of the COVID vaccine is being revealed by victims hurt from the jab." [https://rumble.com/vndn8j-tens-of-thousands-dying-from-jab-and-no-one-wants-to-talk-about-it.html]

"Inside hospitals, they say the vax is BS; FDA wants to treat the unvaxed like Nazis treated the Jews. For the authoritarian Left - dialogue not allowed  Globalism vs Nationalism. This is now a political war. (NBA player) Not L vs R. GWB was always a globalist. They are politicizing medicine (Bill Mayer) Worldwide goal, no medical freedom."

BUT ... WHY...

"The Global Great Reset: Annihilate/Destroy to Build Back Better."
(the 3 b's = 666)

"COVID is the TOOL to bring in the One World Government."

"FEAR is the tool to get you to accept it.
The Vax says you have no autonomy.
The government is in charge of your body."

"So my 7 year old daughter was just kicked out of her NYC school due to inability to wear a mask even with a mask exemption from a physician in place. This is the world we are living in where a 7 year old child is denied an education and outcast like a problem due to an illegal mandate and no one bats an eye. Almost a month later my LOI is not approved and I was sending her because I didn’t want to affect her attendance plus she loves school so I promised her one more week. It’s sickening how little they actually care for our children. I will not comply and allow my child to sustain further physical harm from mask wearing!" ( Face Book)

And now, Virtual Students have to get the jab.

... The tyranny rolls on ....

Eve Ensler (V) Calls for the Women of Afghanistan to Rise Up

 

NYC- Sept 25, 2021. As the U.N. General Assembly met in New York City, a Global Solidarity Action called RISE FOR AND WITH THE WOMEN OF AFGHANISTAN gathered within sight and sound of the United Nations.

"We cannot underestimate the power of our solidarity. Bearing witness to the violence and fear the Taliban is unleashing on Afghanistan will send a powerful message to the Afghan people – and women specifically – that they are not alone.''

" Just as importantly, it will remind the Taliban that we see what they are doing and will not back down until all Afghan people live with the full human rights they deserve."

Testimonies from Afghan women on the ground and RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) will be read.

Led by Afghan activists and artists Fatima Rahmati, Leeza Ahmady, Farah Arjang Vezvaee, Matin Maulawizada (co-founder Afghan Hands), Halema Wali (Afghans for a Better Tomorrow), poet Wazina Zondon, Sonita Alizada...

... with women’s rights activists "V" (formerly Eve Ensler) (founder of V-Day/One Billion Rising), Zainab Salbi, Jodie Evans (co-founder of CODEPINK), Manira Alva (Vice President, Political and Civic Engagement, of Vital Voices) and NYC Public Advocate, Jumaane Williams, musicians Morley Shanti Kamen, Chris Bruce, Neel Murgai, Trina Basu, Arun Ramamurthi, Broadway stars Kathryn Gallagher (Jagged Little Pill), Anastacia McCleskey (Waitress), and Gerianne Perez (Waitress).

 Factoid: Re the woman now called "V" : Since the 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina, she chose this as her new name, no longer wishing to use the surname of the father who abused her.

But, why no mention of the criminal actions of Biden and Company that caused this crisis. Biden restored the Taliban to power, causing the death and torture of the people of Afghanistan - not just the women. Their whole country was handed over to the tyranny of the Taliban.

Biden lied, they died.  That’s no longer just an accusation. It’s now a fact, with Tuesday’s Senate testimony shredding President Biden’s nonsensical fictions about Afghanistan and confirming that he alone made the fateful decisions that created the chaotic and deadly withdrawal. 

And WHY has Biden's government denied landing rights to the refugees from Afghanistan - but given Haitians free unfettered access to our southern border. ("Every single one of them should be let in to this country"- Eve Ensler)

Flickr slide show

Organized by (Cut the Pentagon's Code Pinko and Vagina Monlogue's Eve Ensler aka "V",  One Billion Rising Events seemed unaware of the Falun Dafa protesting next to them, who are suffering and being murdered by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).

No surprise, since they PRAISE the murderous Winnie Mandela as a woman to be admired. However, since she has been exposed as “Mugger of the Nation” this is a stunning delusion (as is their belief that the Taliban will listen to their demands .... and change their ways).

Keeping with their delusional mindset, Ensler said today she is "Rising to Cut the Pentagon Budget;stop... (to stop) war and destruction until we create a feminist world foreign policy which really is reflecting human security and care and connection."

Tell the U.S. Congress and the White House to STOP funding the Department of Defense and use those funds to create change and better lives for its people.

Put the funds into education, housing, transportation, environmental needs, end mass incarceration.

Time for a Reality Check, ignoring their touchy-feely gobbledy-gook: "President Biden’s policy pronouncements may look great on bumper stickers, but they have fewer calories than Coke Zero."

"When the Global War on Terrorism started, the US identified something like 300 key al Qaeda leaders to be taken out. By the end of Obama’s presidency, we had killed about 3,000 of them.

Yet the core of al Qaeda hid in Iran and now are coming out to repopulate the movement. Donald Rumsfeld was right — you can’t just kill your way out of global terrorism.

In addition to hunting terrorists, what really kept al Qaeda and their ilk down all these years is that we deprived them of safe havens in places like Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria."

(Didn't have my better video camera, couldn't adjust camera for intense back light off the East River.)

Concluding with this statement from "Rise For Revolution": "Women of the world and our allies stand with the women – and all vulnerable groups – of Afghanistan against imperialism, militarism, fundamentalism, and fascism. None of us are free until the women of Afghanistan are free. We believe the women of Afghanistan have the right to education, to travel, to freedom of movement, to jobs, to security, just having freedom to be able to breathe and be. We cannot underestimate the power of our solidarity at this moment."

#1BillionRising told the United Nations NOT TO recognize #Afghanistan as a country! Told the world to be BETTER and not forget the Women of Afghanistan! We Are A Witness; We Are A Threat; We Are A Refusal; We Are A Wail; We Are A Joining; We Are A RISING!
