Footage of the group was filmed at the Tesco store in Princes Road, Chelmsford, on Saturday after the protest was advertised on social media.   

An image posted on Twitter invited participants to "join us for a spot of maskless shopping."

The 'event' was described as "a perfect way to peacefully protest while buying your weekly groceries."

And in a video posted online, dozens of maskless shoppers were seen entering Tescos, marching to a tune with the words "don't believe the propaganda on TV."

The bizarre song in the background sung lyrics about "indoctrination camps", "vaccine scam" and "technocratic sham."

On the way out, at least 34 people clutched their shopping bags following their protest, a woman could be heard shouting "come on warriors."

Residents do not deserve to be let down now by a small, selfish group

Chelmsford City Council

The council and police are now working to find out how this maskless protest was able to happen.

NHS Million, a grassroots campaign run by NHS staff to highlight gratitude of the health service, said: "This is a slap in the face to all NHS staff who have worked themselves into the ground and risked their own lives to keep people save. 

"Organising a maskless shopping trip is not big, not clever but it is illegal."

Customers are required by law to wear masks inside all shops, unless they are exempt for medical reasons. 

And social distancing must be enforced unless you are from the same household or bubble.

A spokesman for Chelmsford City Council said: "Chelmsford City Council is extremely disappointed to see that a small number of people chose to shop without masks in a city centre supermarket on Saturday.

"Although lockdown restrictions eased slightly this week, it is extremely important that we all continue to stick to the rules in order to keep moving forward and avoid more people becoming ill or dying from Covid-19.

"This action risked the health of many others: both those who were in the shop at the time and others with whom those people have come into contact since.

"The incident was dealt with at the time by police and we are working with them and with the supermarket to review how this happened.

"Chelmsford has patiently borne restrictions over the past year and residents do not deserve to be let down now by a small, selfish group."

A Tesco spokesperson said: "Since the start of the pandemic, we have focused on ensuring everyone can get the food they need in a safe environment.

"To protect our customers and colleagues, we won't let anyone into our stores who is not wearing a face covering, unless they are exempt in line with Government guidance.

MASK MAYHEM

"We are also asking our customers to shop alone, unless they're a carer or with children.

"To support our colleagues, we will have additional security in stores to help manage this."

In a statement about the protest, Essex Police said: “We were called to Tesco in Princes Road, Chelmsford, just after 12.30pm on Saturday 27 March, following a report of a large group of around 20-30 people entering the store together and not wearing masks.

“When asked by staff to wear masks, they refused.

“They left the store several minutes later and, when our officers arrived on scene, the group were in the car park.

“We engaged with them and encouraged them to leave the area. Enforcement is a last resort for our officers, but one man was issued with a fixed penalty notice and a ticket for driving whilst using a mobile phone.

“No further concerns were raised and the group left the area.

“We would encourage anyone who has information about Covid breaches to continue to report them to us and we will respond to keep people safe.   

“We’d like to thank the majority of Essex residents, who have been working hard to keep themselves and others safe throughout the pandemic.”

en esta irrefragable montaña fue tentado el señor por el diablo cerca de jericó

 

THE SACRED SITES OF JERICHO

    

Towards the Jordan

The ancient Biblical region with its history, place-names, architecture, art, and traditions attracts the attention of many people. Believers have a special attitude towards it: Here the Bible comes back to life and the desert wind blows away millennial boundaries. Though my trip was planned in advance, it took place not immediately but coincided with my birthday, as a gift from above. The itinerary was formed of opportunities and wishes, and one of the main wishes was to immerse myself in the waters of the Jordan River. The bathing place is located seven kilometers (c. 4.35 miles) from the town of Jericho. And, as it turned out, the town itself is quite interesting and likes Russian speech.

    

The City of Palms”

The town of Jericho lies thirty kilometers (c. 18.64 miles) from Jerusalem. It is mentioned in the Bible as the “City of Palm Trees” and it still lives up to its name today. The settlement lies in the Judean Desert 260 meters (c. 853 feet) below sea level, so it is much warmer here, and your lips become dry from sun exposure. According to the archeologists, Jericho is 10,000 years old.

The trumpets of Jericho

The first thing associated with this area is “the trumpets of Jericho”—the Biblical narrative of the city’s capture by the Jews who arrived to the Promised Land. For six days the Israelite army six times walked around Jericho with their priests blowing trumpets, and at the seventh time on the seventh day the city walls fell (see Josh. 6:1-20). The ruins of old Jericho lie to the west of the modern town center—both ruins of the walls and remains of the palaces of the Hasmonean Dynasty and Herod the Great.

The Mount of Temptation

The Mount of Temptation (also Quarantania, “Of the Forty Days”) towers on the northwestern outskirts of Jericho. There is a Greek Orthodox monastery on its slope, whose main relic is the stone on which Jesus Christ prayed during His forty-day fast, preparing for His ministry on Earth, and where He was tempted by satan.

And the devil said unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking Him up into an high mountain, shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto Him, All this power will I give Thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If Thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be Thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. And he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto Him, If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a season (Lk. 4:3-13).

The mountain is 380 meters (c. 1246.7 feet) high. There are numerous small caves on its different levels and this is testimony to the fact that hermits lived here from the first centuries of Christianity. It will take you twenty to thirty minutes to climb the mountain along the serpentine path. If you want to reduce the distance you can use an elevator. At the monastery you can submit intercession lists for health of the living and repose of the departed, all names should be written in capital letters.

    

The Dependency of St. John the Baptist

In 1867 the Chief of the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem Archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin), “the gatherer of Russian Palestine,” whose 200th birthday we are celebrating this year, obtained a plot in Jericho for receiving Christians who made pilgrimages to the Mount of Temptation and the site of the Baptism of Christ on the Jordan River. This is how he describes this spot in his diary: “By three in the afternoon we reached our pilgrimage center in Jericho… It is bright, clean, and cozy here, and the house is spacious… There is a big garden attached to the house with olive trees, lemons, orange trees, pomegranates, even bananas, to say nothing of the huge fig trees and branchy willows. But the most amusing are grape vines of an incredible size.”

    

The House of Zacchaeus the Publican

The bought site is above all notable for the fact that it was here that the house of the repentant tax-collector Zacchaeus stood. This is what the Gospel tells us about him: And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who He was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him: for He was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received Him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That He was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost (Lk. 19:1-10).

The tomb of Venerable Cyriacus the Hermit

As a result of excavations carried out on this site columns of a sixth-century Byzantine church along with the mosaic headstone of Venerable Cyriacus were discovered. A chapel in honor of St. John, the Holy Prophet, Forerunner and Baptizer of the Lord, was erected in order to preserve the tomb.

    

“The altar of our church stands on the grave of Venerable Cyriacus the Hermit—the greatest fifth-century saint,” Sister Anna (Garmider), the dependency’s senior nun, relates. “For 1,500 years the Lord has kept the mosaic above his head along with the Greek epitaph, reading that here rests the grave of the Venerable Presbyter Cyriacus, ‘who built this church’. And we discovered another mosaic when we planted trees. This place was marked on old maps as the Lavra of Cyriacus the Hermit.”

    

The plot of Zacchaeus was returned to the Russian state by the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat in 2000. Then there were stables in the pilgrims’ hostel, which in the nineteenth century had even accommodated visitors from the Imperial House, and dirty streams from the first floor (that had been added to the chapel) flowed down through a hole right to the tomb. Metropolitan Theeodosius of Tambov and Rasskazovo, who then headed the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem, with the help of his assistants cleared up and put things in order at the plot. Services were resumed at the chapel and the hotel’s restoration was begun.

“Recently a new gate was installed, and a pavement along the hotel’s façade and a fence around the building were made. We could only dream of this before,” Nun Anna continues. “Earlier, merchants used to hang their goods right on our walls and windows; we had to turn on the light in the day time. We couldn’t open a window because someone from outside might stretch out his hand and say hello to us. And now even our façade is illuminated at night, so today the hotel resembles old Moscow.”

Among the forthcoming works are the restoration of the chapel’s frescoes and a number of separate buildings of the dependency. “There are vaulted ceilings there, small rounded windows, iron ornaments on wood—these are very beautiful and their spirit of antiquity gives you comfort,” Sister Anna recounts.

“The fresco of Venerable Cyriacus inside the chapel, to the left above the table of oblation, along with the whole west wall of the church are very vulnerable to mold growth. We cannot restore them because then whole layers start crumbling away. Damp-proofing is needed first of all,” the nun explains. The budgeted cost of the work scheduled is $80,000. “We should preserve this plot and beautify it for pilgrims among whom there may be another Zacchaeus, who first was a chief tax collector but later became Bishop of Caesaria in Palestine, an apostle, and eventually was martyred for Christ,” Nun Anna added.

    

The Russian Museum and Park Complex

By a decree of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev a museum and park complex was built on the central street of Jericho, which is adjoined by another Russian plot—Joasaph plot—which was obtained by the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society in 1883 and returned in 1994. On the territory of the park, among the plants mentioned in the Bible the giant Zacchaeus’ fig tree (ficus-sycomorus) still bears fruit. The finds of the joint Russian-Palestinian archeological expedition dating from the first century B.C. to the eighteenth century A.D. are displayed at the museum. Among them are Jewish, Byzantine, Roman, Muslim coins, dishes, household items, church vessels, and sixth-century Byzantine mosaics. On the basis of the discovered artefacts the archeologists have suggested that a monastery may have existed on the site of Joasaph plot. The locals have grown fond of the park: newlyweds come here to have their photos taken, and the street was named after a Russian politician.

    

The Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael

The distance from Jericho to the Jordan River is seven kilometers (c. 4.35 miles). On the way you’ll find the Greek Orthodox Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael, where St. Zosimas of Palestine lived in the sixth century. According to a tradition of the Middle East monasteries, monks used to retreat for the period of the Lenten fast to the desert or caves for more intensive ascetic labors and return (not all would come back—some could die) a week before Easter, on Palm Sunday. Following this rule, Monk Zosimas once retired to the wilderness where he met St. Mary of Egypt, a former harlot who through the power of her repentance achieved sanctity and told elder Zosimas her own story.

The Monastery of St. Gerasimus of the Jordan

There is also the Monastery of St. Gerasimus of the Jordan in the Jordan Valley. It was founded in the fifth century around the cave where the Holy Family stopped on their way to Egypt. An ancient fresco depicting Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, and St. Joseph the Betrothed has survived in the lower church-cave. St. Cyriacus the Hermit, mentioned above, was among the disciples of St. Gerasimus. About the year 575, these places were visited by the Byzantine monks John Moschus and Sophronius (afterwards a patriarch) of Jerusalem—they jotted down on papyrus numerous accounts of monks, hermits, anchorites, and laypeople and then compiled a book based on these stories, The Spiritual Meadow.

The monastery acquired its present appearance after the reconstruction of 1882-1885, undertaken on the initiative of Archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin). The upper church is adorned by the iconostasis which was gifted by the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in 1884. The columns and walls are adorned with frescoes depicting monks and hermits who lived in The Judean Desert or the founders of monasticism: Saints Anthony the Great, Euphemius the Great, Hilarion the Great, Chariton the Confessor, Zosimas of Palestine, Mary of Egypt, George the Chozebite, and others.

    

The Jordan River

The water of the Jordan River is earth-colored, and reeds grow along its banks. For Christians, immersion in its waters is like the second baptism—the cleansing of sins by those who come here with repentance that was preached on these banks by St. John the Baptist 2,000 years ago. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins (Mt. 3:5-6). And it was here that the Lord Jesus Christ was baptized. And Jesus, when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased (Mt. 3:16-17). In the nineteenth century, many Russian pilgrims wished to be buried in the shirts in which they immersed themselves in the Jordan River.

People come to the desert seeking tranquility. Come to Jericho!”

The everyday hustle and bustle of modern Jericho is interrupted only by the loud calls of a mullah. “But he also reminds Christians of prayer,” Nun Anna believes. She once again invites everybody to come to the Dependency of St. John the Baptist to have a rest, to work a little, to walk mountain trails, and to immerse themselves in the waters of the Jordan. “People come to the desert seeking tranquility,” she recalls the words of one Florentine pilgrim and repeats, “Come to Jericho!”

 DICCIONARIO SECRETO OBRA DE ARTE

El hombre es la medida de todas las cosas el sexo inclusive se lee en el prólogo citando a Cratilo y a las cosas hay que llamarlas por su nombre, las palabras no erosionan el lenguaje no son buenas ni malas la maldad o la bondad están en el animo del que las oye o el que las pronuncia. “las palabras se prostituyen o se angelizan, se degradan o ascienden de categoría mediante el uso” este puede ser el caso de conde. Su origen es comes lacayo o caballerizo y asciende de categoría en la Edad Media se convierte en una dignidad palaciega. “No digas

Domine meo que es termino muy feo digas Domine orino que es termino más fino”

 

ARBAS PUERTA CERRADA

ARBAS PUERTA DEL CIELO
Porta coeli
Y estrella de la mañana
cuando seguimos el rumbo de casa.
Cancel que abre la entrada a la meta soñada.
Searching fo the big meadows,
alta montaña,
altar de Santa María,
ara sagrada
 reconstruida
por Menendez Pidal
Aires del romancero
Sobre Pajares
balcón vacío
mirando hacia la Sierra de la Demanda 
barrancos y cuchillares
Campomanes en la bajada
oigo sonar las gaitas
un grito telurico
ijujus de aquellas romerías
gritos de amor y de guerra
que yo oía conduciendo mi Seiscientos
Balcón triste 
que viste
cayado y bordón
no hay carretera sin barro
bueyes duendos arrastrando
la carreta
la tralla del mayoral arreando la diligencia
puerto y puerta
para el que va
de paso
por el borde de tu antojana 
viste
pasar a tantos peregrinos
una fuerza extraña
me une a estas montañas
que son la entraña misteriosa
de Asturias madre galana
fue mi destino
cuantas veces en mis idas y venidas
en mis subidas
y bajadas
me santigüé ante  el quicio y dintel del arco escarzano
del beaterio de Arvás
puerta cerrada
No me contaste tus historias
de monjes y de cantos
pero yo me las se 
vi el resplandor de velas y cirios
ecos de misas rurales
y perdidas plegarias
retumbando en los montes
los ángeles no respondieron
a mi llamada
mano de hierro
en la aldaba 
herméticos silencios
guardan la cerradura oxidada
Siendo ellos la clave
de los misterios
de España
Sic ad astra
sic ad arva
laderas en lo alto
de la gran cucaña
sobre las nubes se yergue
en punta el pico
 Aramo con su cayada pétrea de nieve
Asturias en la mirada
El paraiso que yo anhelaba

 LA POLITICA ACÁ REÑIDERO DE GALLOS


Iglesias mr. Churches un pícaro debe de haber salido de las paginas del Buscón o del Lazarillo un advenedizo que se hace pasar por intelectual y no ha cogido un libro en su puta vida. En un año se hizo millonario enchufó a sus coimas en el gobierno un palacete en Galapagar con un adarve de maderos de la GC a sus espaldas porque el tipo no es muy valiente que digamos, le arropa Julito el Rojo que hizo los cursos de piloto en West Point y llegó a jefe de los guardias, la derechona le acusa de comunista castrista y venezolano pero esta recriminación es un cover up para identificar en falso a los mentores de este pijo flauta descamisado. Casado, Cantó, la Arrimadas, son patas del mismo banco. La política es un sumidero de haraganes y de ineptos y el periodismo otro tanto. El que se mueva no sale en la foto coche oficial y ordeno y mando ellos y ellas rebuznan desde sus escaños. Es la imagen del perfecto esperpento. Lamentable espectáculo. Dicen que van a despertar a España estos tipos adláteres de ese Sanchete monclovita biznieto del “Carnicero de Badajoz” un mal legionario que no se atuvo a las leyes de la guerra fusilando a mil milicianos en la plaza de toros, pero está dormida y casi sin pulso, al borde del colapso. 

Spain awake... not at all. Our homeland is soundly asleep casi durmiendo el sueño de los justos bajo la gobernanza de tunantes y malandrines a punta pala. Con estos bueyes no se puede ir a arar

DESEO A LOS LECTORES JUDÍOS DE ESTE BLOG BUENA PASCUA SHALOM

 PASSOVER PASCUA


Judíos de todas las naciones de la tierra se juntan para celebrar passover la pascua en familia, comen cordero lechal, beben vino judiego puro y sin conservantes, el pan ácimo, escarolas, rábanos y ensalada de lechuga. 

Al principio el paterfamilias arropado en el tefilot paño de oración entonará el cántico del paso del Mar Rojo agradeciendo a Adonai por el maná que alimentó al pueblo hebreo cruzando el desierto camino de la tierra prometida. 

Se guarda esta tradición milenaria desde hace muchos siglos. Estipulan los cánones que el ágape ha de hacerse deprisa sin mezclar las viandas; es un pecado en el judaísmo la ingesta de carne en mezcla con lacticinios. Deprisa, porque los enemigos de Israel vienen arreando.

Estas costumbres fueron observadas por muchos años en España.

 Segovia mi provincia es la tierra del cordero lechal guardando la tradición de que éste ha de ser recental de no más de un año. 

La pascua judía y la pascua cristiana coincidían durante los primeros siglos de la Iglesia; enseguida el calendario gregoriano teniendo en cuenta que el calendario israelita es lunar que acorta el mes del calendario juliano, solar, en dos días, lo difiere una semana a continuación.

 Los bizantinos empero que cuentan el tiempo a tenor con el almanaque establecido por Julio Cesar celebran la pascua dos semanas más tarde que los católicos como poco y cinco como mucho en un correturnos de la epacta según los años. La fijación de la fecha de esta festividad religiosa dio lugar a una gran polémica en la Sorbona durante la edad media.

Los hábitos pascuales han dejado huella en nuestras costumbres. 

En Segovia besamos el pan cuando se cae de la mesa, a muchos de nosotros no nos gusta el jalufo aunque en Cantimpalos vendamos el mejor chorizo del mundo y a todo decimos Amen la palabra más importante del acervo judaico QUE PERVIVE EN NUESTRAS BOCAS PECADORAS. 

Luego hacemos lo que nos da la gana. 

Aprovecho la ocasión para felicitar a mis lectores de las Doce Tribus de Israel

Me consta que son muchos. La religión a la que amo cuyas oraciones rezo y cuyos mandamientos trato de guardar es una cosa y la política otra. 

Para mí Israel no es un estado cualquiera. Eso mismo me decía una vez a mi en una entrevista sobre España la matriarca del estado judío Golda Meir. Así que buena pascua, hermanos. Amen.
