Introduction \u2013 Oct 16, 2020<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"\"<\/a>We are witnessing the emergence of totalitarian rule by stealth. Ostensibly to contain a \u201cglobal pandemic\u201d, the governments of the world are acting as one. Imposing restrictions on work and movement with barely any consultation.<\/h5>\n
Such is the urgent need to stop the spread of Covid-19 these measures need to be imposed. Or so we are being led to believe.<\/h5>\n
Now French President Macron has announced what amounts to a curfew in Paris and eight other French cities. Resident will not be allowed outside between 9.00 pm and 6.00 am.<\/h5>\n
Similar restrictions are being imposed in parts of Britain too. With Wales having just imposed what amounts to a travel ban<\/a><\/span>.<\/h5>\n
Germany has likewise announced that tougher restrictions<\/span><\/a> will be imposed to curtail a surge in the number of cases there. As has Belgium, although the restrictions in Belgium <\/a><\/span>wont be as severe as the French curfew.<\/h5>\n
There\u2019s only one problem. There are many who believe that these measures are an overreaction to Coronavirus, which is little more than a variant of the sort of seasonal flu we see every few years. In fact no less than the World Health Organisation has admitted as much<\/span><\/a>, albeit inadvertently.<\/h5>\n
Sweden is the exception that proves this. It has not imposed lockdowns or such severe restrictions on movement and travel and yet it has the lowest Covid-19 fatality rate<\/a><\/span> in the whole of Europe.<\/h5>\n
In fact tens of thousands of doctors and medical experts from around the world have spoken out<\/a><\/span> against the imposition of lockdowns. Although you wouldn\u2019t know it because the corporate media has pointedly ignored this while it broadcasts non-stop about the supposed threat posed by Covid-19.<\/h5>\n
As with 9\/11, the corporate media is working hand-in-glove with the powers that be to usher in an oppressive new reality. With 9\/11 we saw the start of the War on Terror, the introduction new anti-terror legislation and the onset of new wars around the world. Some of which, like the war in Afghanistan, continue to this day.<\/h5>\n
With Covid-19 we are witnessing restrictions being imposed on movement and association for ordinary citizens, ostensibly to contain a pandemic. Ed.<\/h5>\n

Covid-19: Macron announces four-week curfew in Paris region and other cities, starting Saturday<\/h1>\n

France 24 \u2013 Oct 14, 2020<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday ordered a nighttime curfew for Paris and eight other French cities to contain the spread of Covid-19 after daily new infection rates reached record levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a televised interview, Macron said residents of those cities \u2013 which combined are home to close to a third of the French population \u2013 would not be allowed to be outdoors between 9pm (1900 GMT) and 6am (0400 GMT) from Saturday, for a duration of at least four weeks, except for essential reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have to act. We need to put a brake on the spread of the virus<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,” Macron said, adding the measure would stop people visiting restaurants and private homes in the late evening and night.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are going to have to deal with this virus until at least the summer of 2021,” Macron<\/strong><\/span><\/a> said, saying “all scientists” were in agreement on that point.G<\/span><\/p>\n

‘We won’t be partying\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He said new daily coronavirus cases must be brought down to “3,000 or 5,000”, from current levels, which have reached up to almost 27,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Paris and its region, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Rouen, Saint-\u00c9tienne and Toulouse were being targeted by the measures, Macron said. That meant that around 20 million people would be affected out of a total population of some 67 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We won’t be leaving the restaurant after 9pm,” Macron said. “We won’t be partying with friends because we know that that’s where the contamination risk is greatest.”<\/span><\/p>\n

FRANCE 24\u2019s chief foreign editor Rob Parsons said that the curfews\u2019 9pm start time will hurt businesses that depend on evening patrons.<\/span><\/p>\n
