An anti-vaccination mother took to social media on Wednesday to share her decision to give out tainted lollipops for Halloween.

The Australian mother, who identifies herself online as Sarah Walker RN, shared in the private Facebook group "Stop Mandatory Vaccination" that her son, whose name has been redacted, contracted chickenpox and that she planned to "help" other children in the community by spreading the virus through candy.

"So my beautiful son [redacted] has the chickenpox at the moment and we've both decided to help others with natural immunity this Halloween!" Walker wrote. "We have the packaging open and closing down pat and can't wait to help others in our community."

Walker's message was screenshot and shared on Light for Riley, a page dedicated to protecting "babies & families from vaccine-preventable diseases" in honor of Riley Hughes, a baby boy who tragically died from whooping cough in March 2015.

"Have you ever seen something that instantaneously makes your skin crawl?" the post, written by Riley's father, Greg Hughes, reads.

The yearly Zwarte Piet or Black Pete wars have begun early in the Netherlands this year.
Since a few years a bunch of people want Zwarte Piet/Black Pete to be banned because they consider it racist.
Others consider it part of the Sinterklaas tradition.

Usually the anti-Black Pete people resort to violent protests and death threats (as they are close to the militant left).
This year however, the anti-anti-black pete people have 'fired the first shot' by storming a gathering of anti-Black Pete activists with fire works.
Or was it Russians trying to stir up political unrest.

Nintex · « **Reply #7827 on:** November 08, 2019, 04:18:48 PM »

Anyhow the Black Pete diversion comes at a good time for our government.
Apparently we bombed Iraq and innocents died and the government is sort of 'shrug, we don't recall' about it.
However, the special UN envoy to Iraq is none other than our previous secretary of Defense Jeanine Antoinette Hennis-Plasschaert.
And she was in that position when this war crime occurred, awkward!

Like other people of her stature she tweets and she tweeted something that the Iraqi's didn't like. So now she has somehow
become a target of their protests, being refered to as a lapdog of Iran as well.

The UN together with Iran the Iraqi's say are only there to take their oil.
Iraq has arrived at a crossroads where they hate both the US/NATO/UN and Iran/Russia.

They hate her guts and we're like: "Wait, how the hell did she fail upwards to get a job as UN envoy LMAO"

Quote

French newspaper Libération quoted five women (in French) who said they were offered tea or coffee during the interviews and then taken on walking tours of heritage sites near the ministry in Paris.

When they became overcome with a desire to urinate, the man took them to the embankment of the River Seine and offered to shield them with his coat while they relieved themselves beneath a bridge.

"I urinated on the floor, almost at his feet. I was humiliated and ashamed," one said.

The UK election is bonkers.
The polls say Boris is winning, but everywhere he goes he gets tomato's thrown at him and his campaign launch was attended by about 100 journalists and 50 party members.
But Jeremy can't capitalize on that because he's an anti-semitic IRA loving cunt according to... prominent members of his own party.

There is no coup.

The vice president will take over and then there will be fair elections.
Half the government had already resigned as well as the board overseeing the elections.

I don't want to be too sympathetic to Morales here. For one thing the guy got two terms in, was a popular president, presided over a large economic boom that genuinely funneled extraction profits into general development and large standard of living increases for most people, and kicked USAID and NED out, so his time in office was pretty consequential. Secondly, he nearly won this election in the first round (and imo he did win it), but made it controversial for no reason because he wanted to avoid a runoff. Now there's violence everywhere, politicians are being run out of their towns, and he's fleeing the country. Complete fuckup that didn't have to happen.

Yup, he overplayed his hand Maduro style but in this case it didn't work.

I never understand why Presidents insist on more than 2 terms. After 2 terms everyone is getting sick of your shit and wants someone else on the TV broadcast.
Had he done 2 terms and resigned, people would've considered him a good leader. Now his legacy is fleeing his country after rigging an election.

Same with Putin, Merkel and Bibi.
Merkel would've been the respected Mutti Merkel who made Germany 'recession proof', not the crazy old hag shaking uncontrollably when listening to the anthem.
Bibi the one that brought safety and security with the Iron Dome and set the stage for new peace negotiations.

Putin the President that brought Russia back from the brink but didn't turn his back on democracy and the west.
At some point like every other eternal leader he'll die a lonesome and senile death in the Kremlin or he'll get strung up on the balcony.
