European Leader Predicts COVID Hell Will Trigger Monumental ‘Populist Backlash’

Finland’s leftist Prime Minister Sanna Marin has warned that lockdowns and other restrictive COVID measures will trigger a huge ‘populist backlash’ against governments and politicians in Europe.

Speaking with the Financial Times, Marin predicted that draconian restrictions “will cause protests more and more, and it’s a breeding ground for populist movements across Europe.”

“When you’re closing an economy and people’s workplaces, it will cause political instability. Populists come with easy answers to difficult problems, but their solutions are rarely the right ones,” she added.

The Prime Minister’s solution? Globalist integration, obviously.

Marin wants a EU wide coordinated strategy to deal with the pandemic, touting her country’s own ‘robust test and trace regime,’ which has seen over half the population submit to a tracking app, as well as ‘targeted restrictions,’ such as quarantining and testing almost all people coming into the country from Europe.

The Prime Minister, who is yet to face second wave of the virus in her country, touted increased testing, contact tracing, and joint EU rules on travelling.

Marin argued that the EU must make a “conscious decision that we want to get the virus under control. I haven’t seen the decision made together that we want to suppress the virus as much as possible.”

“The situation will get even more difficult if we don’t implement a common strategy together,” Marin added.

“I think that the situation might get even worse and people might get even more tired. The situation has got worse in the autumn. People often want to find someone to blame and often the easiest ones to blame are the governments and politicians,” Marin said, predicting more uprising in response to restrictions.

Anti-lockdown protests are already raging across Europe, with angry citizens taking to the streets in Spain, Germany, France, Italy, the UK and beyond:

POLICE STATE: UK Bans Protests

Police warn that “People are going to be extremely angry” and protest more

With the entire population of Britain now under de-facto house arrest as of Thursday, the move to a full on police state has edged closer with the announcement that protests are now banned.

The Times of London reports that a ban on demonstrations of more than two people will be made illegal under the second national lockdown.

Ironically, the move seems to be a response to the fact that Black Lives Matter were allowed to hold huge protests during the first lockdown, while families were not allowed to gather together in small numbers.

So now, any form of protest is apparently banned under the emergency measures.

The vagueness surrounding the overturning of a fundamental human right is chilling, with a A Home Office spokeswoman telling reporters that “the right to peaceful protest is one of the cornerstones of our democracy,” but adding “any gathering risks spreading the disease, leading to more deaths, so it is vital we all play our part in controlling the virus.”

“People must follow the rules on meeting with others, which apply to all gatherings and therefore protests too,” the government spokesperson added.

While police have been told by the government that they will have to break up protests, some officers have expressed a concern that the move will only embolden people to take to the streets.

A police source told The Times that “this is going to cause a lot of trouble.”

“People are going to be extremely angry and there are concerns they’ll protest the fact they can’t protest,” the source added.

In “Brave New World” Epsilons were the lowest class of workers, but in order to make sure they’re happy serving in this role, they are deprived of oxygen but pumped with hormones that make them physically strong but unintelligent. Further, they’re conditioned to feel that they’re privileged to be strong. Change hormones to authority and you have 2020 workers who are self-appointed hall-monitors for lockdown.

The move adds to the already growing litany of disturbing emergency “laws” that have been brought in under the guise of battling the pandemic.

Anyone attempting to leave the country ‘without reasonable excuse’ will now be fined up to £6,400.

Previously, people, including families, were not allowed to gather in numbers of more than six, now that number has been decreased to just two.

Shops in some areas have been told to only sell items they deem to be essential, which led to some, particularly in Wales which is run by a leftist Labour government, cordoning off entire sections, including those containing books and writing materials, and even clothes and bedding.

It has also been reported that police are quizzing people on what they are about to purchase before they enter grocery stores.

Meanwhile, people are reporting disturbing stories of being hounded by police for refusing to download the NHS coronavirus ‘track and trace’ app.

On Thursday, one NHS nurse publicly resigned while wearing her uniform before releasing the real numbers of COVID patients in her hospital, which is vastly fewer than the government has suggested, and denouncing the government’s disastrous lockdown policy.

China Uses Presidential Debate To Attack America, Promote Global Authoritarianism

“America has no choice but to come to some kind of way to live peacefully with China”

Chinese state media once again attacked diversity of opinion in the US to promote the Communist state’s brand of global authoritarianism, this time reviewing the Presidential debate between Trump and Biden, and noting that Americans must be “disappointed.”

Suddenly appearing to become television critics, China’s Global Times on Wednesday described the debate as “full of personal attacks and disruptions which jeopardized the audience’s viewing experience”.

The State run outlet described the debate as “epitome of U.S. chaos,” and a “representation of the sharp division within U.S. society.”

The piece also covered “racial issues”, suggesting that they “are triggered by the fundamental divergences over US values and where the US heads within its society.”

“Such divergences are implacable. What is worse, the US leadership is intensifying the divergences, making conflicts between different races more difficult to resolve,” the article proclaimed.

Given the communist Chinese government’s fondness of internment camps for Uyghur Muslims, using them as forced slave labor based on their ethnicity, which was even mentioned in the article, it is hardly in a position to lecture America about “racial issues”.

Another state publication, The People’s Daily, got in on the act, lamenting on how bad it feels for Americans because their politicians won’t make nice with communist China.

“The US can neither achieve lasting unity by “making” foreign enemies at the expense of America’s own interests nor deceive the public for a long time by playing a dangerous game of misleading the world about its relationship with China, as truth will come to light sooner or later,” the article proclaimed.

“It should be noted that the extreme words and deeds of the US for grabbing attention and gaining private profits will harm the country’s future,” the piece also threatened.

It also claimed that America’s “political shows to deflect attention and shift the blame to other countries are not conducive to solving the increasingly serious systemic crises inside the US,” adding that “Instead, such practices have caused damage to international relations that should not be overlooked.”

The piece concluded that “short-sighted political calculations are doomed to do more harm that good to the U.S.,” further claiming that “America has no choice but to come to some kind of way to live peacefully with China.”

Commentator Gordon G. Chang noted that diversity of opinion and heated debate is actually the cornerstone of a free country, something that the Chinese government knows all too well, and therefore has almost completely eradicated:

Others joined in analysing the ridiculous claim that America’s political system is inferior to China’s:

Videos: Madrid Explodes As Police Violently Crackdown On Anti-Lockdown Protesters

Over a million residents of Spanish capital are now living under curfew

Anti-lockdown protesters in Madrid were met with violence at the hands of police this past weekend, after the local government enacted restrictions in more areas of the capital city.

Restrictions on movement, gatherings of more than six people, and 10pm curfews have been mandated, mostly targeting poorer neighbourhoods where, it is argued, sanitary conditions are worse.

In affected areas, residents are allowed to leave their homes only for work, medical or educational purposes and must carry papers proving that they have been granted permission to do so by the government.

Over a million residents of Madrid are now living under such lockdown conditions, with police having support from the Spanish army in scores of districts.

The political situation in Madrid is somewhat complex.

Many protesters in the locked down low income areas are angry with the conservative regional government, with those more on the left (some extremely leftist) adamant that the localized government lockdown represents class-based discrimination.

Meanwhile other centrist and conservative protesters are just generally against the stripping away of basic freedoms by the central Spanish government, no matter where it is focused.

Footage revealed the chaos after police stormed protesters this past weekend:

Health advisors from the leftist central government are pushing the local conservative government in Madrid to impose the restrictions on the entire inner city, which would restrict close to 3.5 million people.

So far, however, the conservative regional leader Isabel Diaz Ayuso has resisted a second total lockdown, saying that the economic impact would be too devastating.

“We’re destroying ourselves … I don’t know how many companies continue to lose jobs and opportunities every single day,” Ayuso told reporters Sunday.
