Robert West’s (SAGE) warning quoted in yesterday’s update is very instructive: “It [a zero covid strategy] sounds expensive but the alternative could well be a catastrophic collapse in confidence in the country’s ability to control the virus and the economic, human and social disaster that would follow.”

By “country” he of course means “government and establishment”. So the economic, human and social disaster he’s talking about is the loss of popular faith in government’s ability to protect.

This is a nobleman at Canute’s shoulder, saying, “Try again! Try harder! If people think you can’t do this, it’ll be an economic, human and social disaster!” And sadly instead of the pragmatic Viking Canute, who’d have burst out laughing and walked away, we have Boris Johnson, who believes it his manifest destiny to control the tides. That he’s on the brink of wrestling the tides to the ground. That a bugle call is about to announce his final, triumphant charge against the tides, to be celebrated by the panegyrists for generations to come. Just one more push. Next time, lads, we’ve got this.

West’s tantrum is deranged: the real “economic, human and social disaster” is already upon us, and it’s being caused by the government’s attempt to prove it can turn the tides. His outburst is also unbelievably psychologically childish. Politically, it’s a return to absolutism and the model of monarch as parent and subject as child. And it explains the infantilizing approach of the catastrophically successful terrorization campaign. If people’s faith in daddy government’s and mummy NHS’ ability to protect them is lost, that will be healthy and good and long overdue.

SAGE is not dealing in science. It’s dealing in 20th-psychological mumbo-jumbo and 17th-century French political philosophy.

Lockdown has always been a Public Relations operation.

Round our way the mood tends to dumb resignation, except among the ultrazombies, who are not in the majority but blight everything they touch. Others are waiting for the magic vaccine, much as people in a concentration camp, worn down by endless meaningless suffering, might await the coming of freedom with the Allied armies. Only to find that the Russians get there first.

This is a great post. It was West’s comments that prompted me to write the short comment I did yesterday: These people are psychopaths.

Ignore them. Live your life. Walk away from the TV. Hug your family, shake hands with strangers. Sing your heart out. These are the little things which make us human and these delusional madmen will not dictate our present or future.

There’s a lot of news globally today on this aspect of WHO approval of the “zero covid” approach.
This could well be to soften people up for even more restrictive mayhem next year.
This isn’t supposed to end , we are the early stages of a complete restructuring of society. It has to be countered.

319645 ▶▶▶ John P, replying to Bill Grates, -7, #30 of 2095 🔗

You are of course entitled to hold that view .
But,The vast bulk of evidence does point to the opposite and in fact what is being undertaken here is the well orchestrated and choreographed restructuring of the lives of the people of the World.

To read the musings of the creators of the forerunner incarnations of the UN ,who themselves were heavily indoctrinated by the 19C Marxist and Utopian ideologies, leaves no doubt as to the explicit intent to creat a one World system of control and government.
This is just the visible part .

The building blocks have been meticulously assembled over the decades and now the technology has reached the point where al these agendas are totally possible, they are also totally desirable by all the principal actors.

I don’t expect to change your opinion and I’m not listing documents, if you have faith in the low grade individuals like the politicians and public faces to all this thats fine. However the probable cause is there, the smoking gun is there, at the moment the victim is staggering but saveable . If you need to wait to see the body to be convinced it will be too late.

It must surely come to that , the present skirmishing isn’t going to achieve anything.
Only when/if a really significant mass of people are so far down they have nothing to lose will a turning point be reached.
The police/military will not supported the people unless they begin to suffer personally and the govts will go to great lengths to prevent that.

We have to hope people will turn before the “quarantine camps” are established.

There are those who HATE the ‘conspiring to control outcomes Theory’, and who read fiction or watch movies as if their own imagination – in and of which they think, perceive, predict, expect and accept as true.
They HATE such thought because 1. They have been told this is ‘Customary Procedure’ and 2. It might reveal them to their own imagination and they would no longer be ‘safe’ in the ‘what you are supposed to do to be safe’.

The intelligentsia seed memes as fiction and non faction, as part of groundbaiting the phishing to come.

The Virus needs to be investigated as a dramatic archetype, rather than via Expert Pronouncements over the the goats entrails or tea-leaves of computer modelling analysis of a protoplasmic soup (in which we live and move and have our expression and participation in life itself.

I think the process of democracy is being turned into its own spitting image so as to induce people to welcome technocratic rule with virtue signalling for carbon and biosecurity (sic).

King Canute sought to demonstrate the limits of power – presumably because too many around him assumed that as King he could make everything safe.
The modern iteration is a usurped sovereignty that feeds such magical superstition by using the law as a weapon against the people rather than as the protection for the people of the realm.
Likewise the mind as the means and medium of communication – both within and without – is being set in the use of its own lockdown, dissociation and masking over in magical thinking that of course is spellbound and unable to think or reflect upon its own capture.

“Everything is BACKWARDS; everything is upside down! Doctors destroy health, Lawyers destroy justice, Universities destroy knowledge, Governments destroy freedom, Major media destroys information, And religions destroy spirituality”. ~ Michael Ellner

But pause and consider whether in the haste of reaction to an already invested sense of self and world, we have not merely inverted our frame of reference,

The ability of the mind to ‘see’ according to predetermined primers or parameters, is then linked with its magnification and replication.

Looking for what is wrong, threatening, unlovely or hateful in any and every situation is a subconscious defence mechanism that runs beneath the surface, from a deeper sense of guilt and fear of exposure to pain and loss. It is part of a selfishness for survival in the human social world – that extended from the physical but in ways that have dissociated and alienated us from the direct presence of life.

Our social world can be seen as a modelling of predicates, parameters and projections.

In my posts I generally seek to invite looking at the mind that makes our world rather than ‘thinking’ in its program.

The experience of disclosure to ourselves includes a disintegration of our masking in a control reality – which has both inner masking from our being, and social presentations for acceptance and inclusion.

The loss of the illusion of control is seemingly regained by doubling down in a mind that rules out reality of being, so as to operate within a reduced framework of thought.

Take is an an offer or invitation, dressed up as a Very Persuasive Case.
But If you are not willing to deny yourself More and Even More – then of course.
Stop it and just Be.
Within being are other ways to see than WHO gets to Say What The Rules of The Game Are. And by releasing the tightness of such a mask, are other ways of seeing and being with people …and Everything.

The incompetence conspiracy theory was already blown out of the water by the middle of last April. Undoubtedly the UK government is a major actor in the globalist agenda to rid the world of the great bulk of its human inhabitants. It’s the only theory that holds water and the depopulation will be brought about by the unlicensed and liability free Covid-19 vaccines.

318906 ▶ Allen, replying to Allen, 20, #72 of 2095 🔗

Part One:

Robin Monotti has a substantial batch of tweets today regarding “medical procedures and treatments” in nursing homes that led to euthanasia.

As this gruesome reality comes to the fore not only does the entire Covid narrative disappear but the criminality of what happened is exposed. Keep hammering on this point people- these acts were premeditated. An entire can of worms comes open when this aspect of the Covid scandal is highlighted.

Much has been written and much more will surface.

Very important to stress this aspect of what happened in March/April- it explains the ‘spike’ seen in the 6 week period. It also shows further the vulgar cynicism of those who were bullhorning “save grandma” even as they were involved in policies that were killing grandma.

This illustrates again that there was no epidemiological event whatsoever there were policies of administrative euthanasia implemented throughout the Western World.

Midazolam is one of the drugs used in prison executions.

“CARE homes have been accused of using powerful sedatives to make coronavirus victims die more quickly.

Prescriptions for the drug midazolam rocketed during the height of the pandemic, with some claiming it has “turned end-of-life care into euthanasia.”

“Official figures show 38,352 out-of-hospital prescriptions for midazolam were issued in April – more than double the February figure. The monthly average for the past five years in England was about 15,000.”

“Whistleblowers have also claimed to have witnessed the misuse of sedatives – with staff told to give them to dementia patients to stop them wandering the corridors.”

“Retired neurologist Professor Patrick Pullicino, who publicised the wrongful administration of powerful pain relief to patients “believed to be dying”: “Midazolam depresses respiration and it hastens death. It changes end-of-life care into euthanasia.”

On the 19th March 2020 the WHO released this guidance intended for healthcare workers (HCWs), healthcare managers and IPC teams at the facility level & at national and district/provincial level:

Section 5 of WHO guidance on treatment of severe Covid19 begins like this:

“Management of severe COVID-19: oxygen therapy and monitoring – Give supplemental oxygen therapy IMMEDIATELY to patients with SARI and respiratory distress, hypoxaemia or shock and target SpO2 > 94%.”

“Management of critical COVID-19: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) – Recognize severe hypoxemic respiratory failure..and prepare to provide advanced oxygen/ventilatory support. Endotracheal intubation should be performed by a trained and experienced provide”-Avoid disconnecting the patient from the ventilator, which results in loss of PEEP and atelectasis.

-Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) should be used only in selected patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure.” “There is no current evidence to recommend any specific anti-COVID-19 treatment for patients with confirmed COVID-19..ongoing clinical trials testing various potential antivirals; these are registered on clinical trials dot gov or on the
Chinese Clinical Trial Registry”

The WHO was pushing oxygen & ventilators already on March 6th.

Tedros was framing the narrative of life & death as ventilator-no ventilator, completely ignoring standard infection treatments.

Who was working with Tedros on the narrative that was to lead to disastrous intubations? The Gates & the Clinton’s.

And let’s not forget the role of Klaus Schwab in all of this.

(Cont.)

318989 ▶▶ TJS123, replying to Allen, 7, #73 of 2095 🔗

We need to be careful about this data as midazolam is also used as a treatment for prolonged seizures especially in children and people with learning disability who are often in care homes. Lockdown has caused enormous stress which increases seizure frequency and severity, so midazolam will be needed more often. A bad thing in itself but not quite the same as being used in the way described. We need to separate out the differentvreasons for prescribing it to get a clear picture.

319010 ▶▶▶ SweetBabyCheeses, replying to TJS123, 8, #74 of 2095 🔗

What I’m hearing is that lockdown is very stressful for people in care homes (inc. children and people with learning disabilities!) so we need to sedate them.
What we actually need to do is not inc. them in the lockdown. How have we got to the point where quality of life is no longer a concern?

320114 ▶▶▶ Angryphon of Tunbridge Wells, replying to TJS123, 1, #75 of 2095 🔗

Midazolam is used subcut or through a T34 syringe driver to ironically control breathlessness and agitation.In combination with diamorphine a quick exit follows.I witnessed what I could only describe as involuntary euthanasia.

318907 ▶ Allen, replying to Allen, 13, #76 of 2095 🔗

Part Two:

“The WHO further justified this approach by claiming that the less invasive positive air pressure machines could result in the spread of aerosols, potentially infecting healthcare workers with the virus.”

“This is more theoretical fear than a real fear,” Dr. David Hill, a pulmonary and critical care specialist who has experience treating COVID-19 patients, and who is a spokesperson for the American Lung Association, told Time Magazine.”

“Hysterical epidemiological modelers, the same ones that had just claimed millions of people were about to die from COVID-19 in the United States, took to claiming that there was a mass ventilator shortage in the United States.”

“The WHO recommendation has opened up a continuing conversation in the scientific community about the medical ethics of potentially unnecessarily harming a patient to hypothetically protect one’s colleagues from a virus (And one that is simply not that lethal”

China’s reports reference the WHO report above. It is clear that the WHO influenced China’s approach, and vice-versa, the reports from China then influenced the WHO.
CHINA & US, April 17th 2020: “Based on a Chinese expert consensus, it is recommended that invasive mechanical ventilation be the first choice for moderate or severe ARDS”

June 7 2020, Canada, US, Italy: “The initial message from the Chinese medical teams was to intubate early.This seemed to stem from the accurate observation that many of these patients deteriorated precipitously and that they may be more safely intubated at an earlier stage”

“However, this also can come at a cost. Mechanical ventilation is inherently associated with a number of well described and accepted complications such as ventilator associated pneumonia, ventilator-induced lung injury, hemodynamic disturbances..sedation and immobilization.”

June 20th: “What is new in the current study – Current experience suggests that many patients may avoid complications of mechanical ventilation and possibly avoid clinical deterioration by the use of non-invasive ventilatory support.”

Our ‘critical shortage’ of ventilators disappeared very quickly after a couple of months. I expect that the medics on the front line realised the harm they could cause compared to non invasive procedures and started ignoring WHO guidelines.

“these acts were premeditated”

So was the removal of HCQ as an over-the-counter drug in France in FEBRUARY after the Chinese reported that Chloroquine was an effective treatment. Of course, even Fauci recommended it in 2005 but removed it for C-19 until vaccines were “approved”. So now HCQ and Ivermectin have been reinstated. Not sure what the situation is in the UK at the moment.

A stunning article:
https://thecritic.co.uk/boiling-the-bioethical-frog/

It makes you realise just how far we are now straying from the ethical administration of medicine against genuine diseases. As the author points out, we are now at the level of Matt Hancock in competition with Piers Morgan over who will have an unnecessary vaccine first, live on television.

Instead of doctors deciding what treatment their patients should receive, we have two twerps in a bragging contest effectively making policy for the whole population.

The layman’s view of medical treatments is being instituted as political policy. And this is not just vaccination but also extends to lockdowns and social distancing which are de facto medical treatments that prevent the sharing of microbes, thus affecting everyone’s immune system at a government ministers’ whim.

The realisation of this makes my head spin. It’s obvious that medical treatment is not something that Matt Hancock, or even an ‘expert’ at Sage, should be able to impose on anyone. How have we reached the point where it is being accepted so easily? The appropriate medical bodies or councils should have been all over this at the start.

I keep reposting this because lockdownskeptics won’t return email, perhaps someone else can get them to take note of an issue of interest to millions being pushed vaccines who aren’t being ethically informed of all the risks?

The Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer vaccine, and its briefing document for the review meeting, states there is an unknown risk of future vaccine enhanced disease (which includes other potential enhancement modes and not just antibody enhancement) after the initial immunity fades:
https://www.fda.gov/media/144416/download
“The Sponsor identified vaccine-associated enhanced disease including vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease as an important potential risk [….] risk of vaccine-enhanced disease over time, potentially associated with waning immunity, remains unknown and needs to be evaluated further in ongoing clinical trials and in observational studies that could be conducted following authorization and/or licensure.”

i.e. the study simply hasn’t gone on long enough to see if people have sterilizing immunity producing the initial good results that fades, and then when people do actually get infections: the immune response they learned from the vaccine might lead to a worse case of covid-19. Hopefully not: but the trials just haven’t run long enough to demonstrate that.

Yet the FDA isn’t telling patients about this risk, nor is the media. The FDA’s fact sheet for recipients of the Pfizer vaccine for covid-19 is here and there isn’t a peep about it:
https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download
Nor is there in its doc for healthcare providers, nor is it in the UK’s NHS or Canadian equivalents.

An International Journal of Clinical Practice article on
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ijcp.13795
“Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID‐19 vaccines worsening clinical disease”

explains that the vaccine trials didn’t meet medical ethics standards regarding fully informed consent since the issue of vaccine enhanced disease wasn’t explained in a way they’d comprehend. The FDA’s information doesn’t even mention it, let alone explain it in the way people comprehend, which seems an obviously major violation of medical ethics. Its also doesn’t make sense: since enough people will likely risk it anyway, but they should get that choice because even some experts wouldn’t yet.

If they don’t correct this soon, and chalk it up to an oversight in the rush to get this out the door: it risks a backlash in a few months if the public becomes generally aware of it, akin to the backlash after the Tuskegee study where participants weren’t fully informed. They’ll wonder: “If you didn’t tell us about this risk, what else aren’t you telling us, why should we trust it?”. People can understand that trials are still ongoing: they won’t understand not informing them of risks since it looks like a coverup, even if in theory they could have hunted through the FDA’s more technical documents to find it.

Experts apparently don’t agree on the magnitude of the risk: which is why its particularly important for it to be disclosed for public debate. Media in countries hit hard by COVID-19 haven’t called attention to the issue to date. In contrast a Japanese paper quoted the director of the Japanese Society of Clinical Virology: “Concerns over ADE still remain. I am an elderly person myself, but if I were asked, I would say I don’t want to get a shot.”

Elsewhere he explained: “In the past, a dengue vaccine proved effective in tests and was widely used, but then it worsened symptoms for people who were still getting infected.”. A leading professor of Immunology testified to Japan’s House of Representatives: “There’s no doubt that their effectiveness is quite high, but their safety is not guaranteed at all”.
Its also the case that many studies *do* see concerns over potential vaccine enhanced disease in this case. Severe covid isn’t due to a lack of immune response: but a dysfunctional immune response. One study termed it an “uncoordinated” response. Will the response that occurs after the vaccine fades be a functional one, or an “uncoordinated” one? That paper suggests there is a risk that vaccines that only target the spike may be at risk of vaccine enhanced disease. Regardless, since they don’t understand fully the broken response with severe covid-19, its unclear how they can yet be certain what the odds are the vaccine will be more or less likely to trigger a broken immune response that leads to severe illness. Hopefully not: the tests just haven’t gone on long enough to demonstrate it.

The links to the various studies I mentioned are on BuildVaccineTrust.com where I put together information out of frustration that I didn’t see it being addressed. Its focused on government and academic journa

…the tests just haven’t gone on long enough to demonstrate it.

As I see it, it will never be possible to definitively demonstrate anything with the immune system – it’s all just probability. All we plebs can do is to get a feel for whether the ‘experts’ involved are sincere people engaged in a genuine effort to benefit mankind. To my untutored eye, the answer is: “You’ve got to be kidding!”

The problem of course is that this isn’t “anti-vaxx”, the risk issue comes directly from FDA documents. Unfortunately the issue is it seems almost everyone is afraid of being lumped in with scientifically illiterate ant-vaxxers if they express any critique. The author is someone that thinks vaccines are very important and has taken all the prior recommended ones and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. Its actually because I don’t wish to see a backlash against all vaccines that I think its important to note risks that the FDA, Pfizer, and Moderna all acknowledge.

318932 ▶ annie, replying to annie, 5, #121 of 2095 🔗

I read the following in Wikipedia. OK, not necessarily the fount of all wisdom!

Herd immunity applies only to contagious disease, meaning that it is transmitted from one individual to another. Tetanus for example, is infectious but not contagious, so herd immunity does not apply.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity

Now, is Covid contagious or infectious? Makes a difference, don’t it? Medical experts please clarify.

319023 ▶▶ J Cook, replying to annie, 5, #122 of 2095 🔗

So covid would be both infectious and contagious – but this is an interesting point that you raise. Im no medical expert, but surely this concept (infectious vs contagious) contradicts the new WHO definition of ‘herd immunity’. Take for example Tetanus – this is an infectious disease (caught from the bacteria Clostridium tetani), but not contagious (not transmissible via person to person contact). The Oxford Vaccine Group clearly states the obvious that that “there is no herd immunity for tetanus” https://vk.ovg.ox.ac.uk/vk/tetanus&nbsp ;
So the new WHO definition for herd immunity which states “with herd immunity, the vast majority of a population are vaccinated” doesn’t fit diseases such as tetanus, where the term herd immunity couldn’t be used even if the majority were vaccinated. The new WHO definition seems to fly in the face of previously accepted concepts – as usual they seem to be throwing out decades of prior knowledge to fit current narratives.

319067 ▶▶▶ J Cook, replying to J Cook, 2, #123 of 2095 🔗

Im just thinking through my own post – the new WHO definition does refer to herd immunity in the context of viruses – which could be a counter argument to mine above. However the concept of herd immunity has been scientifically accepted for many Bacterial vaccines (such as the Pertussis vaccine and Meningococcal vaccines) as well as for Toxoid vaccines (such as Diphtheria). So surely the WHO need to expand their new definition of herd immunity to diseases caused by bacteria and toxins too – but then in doing that they would be tripped up by diseases such as Tetanus.
This has got me thinking. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

318937 ▶ Laurence, replying to Laurence, 33, #124 of 2095 🔗

I read with great interest the Matt Ridley article in the Telegraph: “Lockdowns may actually prevent a natural weakening of this disease”.
It seems blindlingly obvious that Lockdowns will be detrimental for the weakening of the virus, and go against millions of years of evolution, and thousands of years of science. To call lockdowns ‘medieval’ would be positively flattering.

Why would the human body get ill when we get a virus and not just let it do its job of killing us if it’s going to. Surely because ill people can’t participate in society and keep themselves at home away from others, meaning that those uninfected people who are out with others are more likely to meet those who have a less toxic strain of the virus. Now it would seem apparent that evolution would favour humans (and other animals) who get sicker with a more toxic virus as they are less likely to have the worst forms of the virus circulating, and so will only spread weaker strains (those with the stronger ones are out of circulation), and those communities are more likely to survive.

100,000 years or so on, in a supposedly scientific society: we remove those with a weaker form of virus from society as well, so that we can now spread the more toxic viruses just as easily as the weaker ones.

Could anyone imagine a more ridiculous idea !

318943 ▶▶ Richard O, replying to Laurence, 29, #125 of 2095 🔗

Agree. And Facebook is even worse with people virtue signalling by posting selfies of themselves in masks and even with visors. Some even go further by even showing off masks they made themselves.

And children in masks are the worst. Parents are not aware that by putting them on their children they are aiding and abetting child abuse. Of course they will say that their kids are fine, it won’t harm them and its protecting them but I don’t think they’re aware that any psychological damage is hidden and by the time it emerges it will be too late to reverse the damage.

They will reap what they have sown.

319558 ▶▶▶ Silke David, replying to Bart Simpson, 4, #178 of 2095 🔗

I watched a very good discussion on Bittel TV on Monday re children and mask wearing. There was a study done in South Tirol, where they measured illegal amounts of Co2 between the mask and the face.
Also a lot of children are very stressed and have dangerous amounts of adrenalin for hours on end circulating in their body. Even if they feel fine, their body is reacting with stress.

319641 ▶▶▶▶ Bart Simpson, replying to Silke David, 2, #179 of 2095 🔗

I happened to be in the city last week before all hell broke loose on the northern beaches. There was a masked woman with 2 masked children in the public toilet. She told them to come wash their hands and they said, ‘we don’t want to.’ She said, ‘ok’, and off the three of them toddled. (Yuk).

Not sure how much more I can take, my sleepless nights and anxiety are back. I’m supposed to be having a break in the run up to Christmas but working is taking my mind off things. Being awake to this deception while so many around you are being deceived and misled is so hard. I’ve questioned my sanity so much, even asking if I’m on the ‘spectrum’, whatever that means. Even talking with like minded friends doesn’t help that much as we’re still such a minority. I really didn’t think this website would still exist or be necessary in December but here we are.

318963 ▶▶ Danny, replying to Moomin, 23, #200 of 2095 🔗

I’m with you. The hardest thing for me is that very same thing. Living through tough times and government oppression is one thing. But having to persuade people that we are being oppressed seems like a greater insult.
I always think it is akin to living through another night of the blitz, bombed house and everywhere, and then in the morning you see a neighbour with an untouched house and remark “wasn’t it terrible last night?” Expecting some connection, the neighbour looks genuinely puzzled and says “what was terrible?”

318967 ▶▶ annie, replying to Moomin, 45, #201 of 2095 🔗

Moomin dear, get this: YOU ARE THE SANE ONE. Sanity, as Orwell pointed out, is not statistical. Even if there are a million Covilunatics all round you, you are still the sane one. But not the only sane one. There’s us. And the brave souls who speak out in the media. JP and Andrew Lawrence, on You tube, are mighty forces for good – with laughter.
Don’t worry too much about sleepless nights. When your body really needs sleep, it will take it. You may already be sleeping longer than you think you are – it’s a common experience. Sleep takes up no conscious time, wakefulness does. Try my trusted remedy: go to sleep with an audiobook playing, and if you wake in the night, put the audiobook back on. It will distract your thoughts.
In the morning, brew a cup of nice hot tea, or whatever you prefer, and take it back to bed with you. Charity never faileth, and neither, in my experience, doth tea.

I have had a lot of nights where I struggled to sleep too. I found it was where I was either reading something on here or seen something on YouTube that had annoyed me about this shitshow and I kept playing scenarios over and over in my head and could not sleep. So I now take myself away from everything lockdown by 9:30 and then look at motorbike videos, golf instruction videos, comedy videos. I then read a book, some sci fi or fantasy something miles away from the current situation.

Anither nugget from C. S. Lewis. In Narnia, some animals are rational and have speech, but if they revert to purely animal habits, they lose that rationality and can no longer talk. Lucy speculates in Prince Caspian (quoting from memory):

“Wouldn’t it be awful if, in our world, men started going wild inside, but still looked like men, so you could never tell which was which?”

Now it’s happened, and it is awful. Unspeakably awful.

Warning about the article recommended today, Philippe Lemoine’s article about Lockdown and Sweden. This is a terrible article to read with almost verbal diarrhoea. This man was pro lockdown in March but has changed tack but is a mask fanatic. He has also published outrageous articles supporting the Chinese approach of C-19 and hiding the concerns about the origin.

He is clearly not informed about several aspects of the Swedish situation. He cannot understand why the spread of C-19 was so extensive in Sweden compared to the neighbours. He has no idea that the school holidays was in a particular week where many Swedes went to the Italian and Austrian Mountains for skiing, especially from Stockholm. This was not a pattern in Norway, Finland and Denmark. He has no idea of badly run, under staffed, under paid staff at the big care homes in Stockhom. The Norwegian care homes have employed many nurses from Sweden with double or triple pay since years with much higher standard, well run, smaller care homes than Sweden.

It is almost laughable the authors strict recommendation of the number of persons gatherings would have reduced the infection rate in Sweden. He is an ego maniacal in his description of his advice(incl masks).This is a rubbish article.

‘A Pandemic of Pandemic Hysterias’. Sanjeev Sabhlok

https://sanjeev.sabhlokcity.com/Misc/PandemicHysterias-draft-sabhlok.pdf

‘According to Dr. Markus Kühbacher, a specialist investigating scientific fraud such as dissertation plagiarism, Dr. Drosten’s doctor thesis, by law must be deposited on a certain date with academic authorities at his University, who then sign a legal form, Revisionsschein, verified with signature, stamp of the University and date, with thesis title and author, to be sent to the University archive. With it, three original copies of the thesis are filed. Kühbacher charges that the Goethe University is guilty of cover-up by claiming, falsely, Drosten’s Revisionsschein, was on file. The University spokesman later was forced to admit it was not filed, at least not locatable by them. Moreover, of the three mandatory file copies of his doctor thesis, highly relevant given the global importance of Drosten’s coronavirus role, two copies have “disappeared,” and the remaining single copy is water-damaged’

‘If the stakes were not so deadly for mankind it would all be material for a comedy of the absurd. The world health Czar, WHO chief Tedros is no medical doctor whose WHO is financed massively by a college dropout billionaire computer manager, Gates, who also advises the Merkel government on COVID-19 measures. The Merkel government uses the Drosten PCR test and Drosten as an “all-wise” expert to impose the most draconian economic consequences outside wartime. Her Health Minister, Jens Spahn, is a former banker who has no medical degree, only a stint as a lobbyist for Big Pharma. The head of the German CDC, called the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler, is not a virologist but an animal doctor, Tierarzt. With this crew, Germans are seeing their lives destroyed by lockdowns and social measures never before imagined outside Stalin’s Soviet Union.’

I don’t see an issue with the head of the German CDC being a vet and not a virologist. The issue isn’t the theory or modelling. It’s the source data. There should be engineers involved in verifying the source data first before any models or theories are used.

But of course that would show this whole thing as an ugly fact nowhere near as serious as made out to be. Theorists love to scream their Eureka, and indulge in doom porn.

Reality is however a lot less exciting in that sense, but brutal in others.

Nice that Claire Craig is saying what a lot of us were saying here for months: that respiratory diseases are just being relabelled and that deaths due to Covid going up is simply an artefact as overall deaths are the same.

But as ever this information is not displayed in context with previous years.

What gets me is that the great medical profession takes months and months to realise something that is often obvious to engineers and applied scientists from the start.

And we’ve seen this before: crime statistics going up or down depending on the flavour of the month, just because they get relabelled.

Not all doctors, Malcolm Kendrick and Sam Bailey for example, but they are GPs. Hospital physicians tend to be specialists and unable to think outside of that. An anecdote from when I worked in A&E, a patient was brought in after being stabbed in the chest. Cardiothoracic surgeons were called and operated on the patient. We get a complaint because the wound was below the diaphragm and hence was not cardiothoracic but general surgery.

319074 ▶▶ SweetBabyCheeses, replying to mhcp, 15, #291 of 2095 🔗

Absolutely. The problem is, when did we ever label them in the first place?! Until recently, we had cold (struggle on bravely) or flu (sick enough to stay home.) One could also make an argument for man flu but that’s another story . If it didn’t pass, you may have been diagnosed with “chest infection” or similar and received antibiotics- but again, who really knows? GP doesn’t test you do they – they treat the symptoms, although I suspect sometimes the prescription pad comes out just as a pacifier. Hospital? That was pneumonia.
All this time we didn’t give a flying f that what we actually had was influenza A
influenza B
rhinovirus
parainfluenza
adenovirus
coronavirus
human metapneumovirus
mycoplasma pneumoniae
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
Etc
Why are we so obsessed with categorising covid? Take RSV for example – if you caught it now, you’d probably just think you had a cold. No one is is suggesting you isolate or get tested for it. Yet if you pass it to a young child it can be serious – around 30k hospital admissions and 80 deaths per year just in the UK. Most of us would avoid babies if we had a cold, especially premature ones, but no ones suggesting you’re a Baby Killer for not suspending all activity and that of everyone you’ve been in contact with?! There were 83 more baby murderers in the UK last year – call the Police! Worlds gone f-ing mental.

Great update today and I think we know the answer to the headline. Lockdown 3 was in the cards all along. January and February tends to be colder than November and December anyway plus there’s the usual flu season so they will spin that out as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Virus to justify Lockdown 3 and the gullible will lap it up despite experts saying its nowhere as virulent as the old one.

Baroness Macgregor-Smith is barking up the wrong tree. Instead of calling to throw more money at the problem why doesn’t she and her lot call out for the end of lockdown and restrictions?

I personally believe that stony, unrelenting silence is the only effective countermeasure. Then, if the account in question is used to spam the site in an attempt to provoke a response we can legitimately ask the site administrators to mute that account’s posts.

We have a mushrooming network of multiple small groups across the country delivering simple, clear and powerfully worded leaflets to local people. In lockdown that means door to door delivery, otherwise they can be handed out in the street. We already have 155,000 leaflets in circulation and more are being ordered daily and in larger quantities. We aim to reach 1 million citizens.

I do sympathise with Steve’s view; it seems that it doesn’t matter how many arguments we win this government will ignore them all.
Recently, for the Covid 19 Assembly, I ‘tagged’ the blog posts for the days 19/8 – 28/8 and that was a distressing experience. I do NOT regret doing it; on the contrary I was glad to do it, but it did take an emotional toll.
I then related two such incidents to Christians whom I know and NEITHER had heard of these stories. One was the story of the police in Greater Manchester breaking up a party for a terminally ill child, the other was the story of a funeral being stopped by a couple of jobsworths in Milton Keynes. And then there are the underground churches. I can only advise getting these stories in front of people, because few know about them.
Somehow we must fight on, with hope or even without it. It is not too much to say that the whole of Western civilisation is under threat.

Reply from Costco
Good morning

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for taking the time to submit your valuable feedback. Given the current situation with the pandemic, we have taken the decision to take every possible step to prevent the spread of Covid19 by requiring our members who are unable to wear a face covering to wear a face shield instead.

This updated policy may seem inconvenient to some, however we believe the added safety is worth any inconvenience and additionally the vast majority of our members have expressed their unconditional support for this added measure during these challenging times.

Our goal is to continue to provide a safe shopping environment for our members and guests, and to provide a safe work environment for our employees.

For members who are unable to wear a mask or face covering, Costco has delivery options available on Costco.co.uk

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The government is following the strategy leaked in the Canadian Report closely. Lockdown followed by “economic restructuring.”

https://thecanadianreport.ca/is-this-leaked-memo-really-trudeaus-covid-plan-for-2021-you-decide/

Their behaviour reminds me of what happened to Russia following the collapse of communism in the nineties. The country was looted by the corporations and multinationals, lost control of its’ national assets which were expropriated by the new breed of oligarchs, who invested their stolen private wealth in the London stock exchange.

Ordinary Russians lost their healthcare, pensions and finances, were destitute and were selling their possessions on the streets for food.
This was called “Shock therapy” and necessary for a successful changeover to capitalism, by the banks who were asset stripping and making off with all Russia’s wealth.

Putin blocked this asset stripping, and protected the Russian people from further depredations which is why you never hear a good word about him in our MSM and why he is so popular with the Russians.

With the collapse of western capitalism we are now being treated to the same looting of our wealth by the supranational elite.

His description of the fall of the USSR is particularly interesting in the parallels we face as a society today.

The letter from the NHS doctor is the most interesting. It shows that the observable consequences of COVID are the same as normal seasonal infections, except that the response of the NHS has had the effect of reducing capacity. In terms of his observations, if we were not testing, we would not know there was a pandemic.

And then we have the announcements of the public health professionals. Here I observe nothing more than excitement at new tools to explore the spread of a virus. It is all deeply interesting. How does it spread? Who does it affect? What strains do what. Fascinating stuff. But here’s the point. None of this is evidence that it is any different from normal seasonal infections.

I don’t think the middle class professionals in the public sector, in the BBC, in large corporates, have realised the scale of the damage caused by spending £1 trillion on this hysteria. Pensions and investments will be wiped out. It is the biggest act of self-harm I have even seen.

Idaho.Two further anaphylaxis reactions in the US.Probably just a question of time before CDC will contraindicated this vaccine for someone experiencing such a reaction earlier.Or the US lawyers will get into action.

https://bonnersferryherald.com/news/2020/dec/22/healthcare-workers-experience-rare-severe-reaction/

“The Idaho Division of Public Health has received reports of two health care workers experiencing severe allergic reactions, also referred to as serious adverse events, after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
The allergic reactions happened in northern Idaho and the Treasure Valley. Both incidents are ongoing, but one person has recovered fully, and one is hospitalized in stable condition but expected to be discharged.
In the news release, both people had a known history of severe reactions after receiving injectable medication.”

“The CDC considers a history of a severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis to any vaccine or to any injectable therapy as a precaution, but not a contraindication, to vaccination,” said Dr. Christine Hahn, medical director for the Division of Public Health.
According to Dr. Hahn, “In light of these events, we are concerned about the risk to people with such a history and recommend that anyone with a history of severe reaction or anaphylaxis to any vaccine or injectable therapy defer taking this vaccine until more is known.”
“We will continue to update vaccine providers and the public as soon as we know more,” Hahn added.

So 8 known and now these 2,10 so far. Probably 1 per 60 000 doses which is 16 times more than 1 in a million for other vaccines incl flu.

Our public health experts have been incredibly stupid. Everybody knows that anaphylaxis are more rare among elderly(due to the declining immune system). They should have rolled out all vaccines for care homes and over 80, having risk between 5-10 % of death by C-19. And afterwards depending upon reactions going lower in 10 years interval for risk groups.

But Big Pharma is for profit and need maximum numbers therefore now including health care workers now having 16 times higher anaphylaxis risk than ordinary vaccines for HCW. There is no way this vaccine can be mandatory with this side effect profile. There maybe more bad news coming about the vaccines as hedge fund managers have acted.
“mRNA stock getting crushed today; bntech too. I wonder if big hedge funds – which regularly pay well-connected physicians to “consult” with them about data and clinical trials – are hearing about adverse events that haven’t become public (yet). We will see.”

“”may be due to a compound in the packaging of the messenger RNA (mRNA) that forms the vaccine’s main ingredient, scientists say.

URGENT Call to Action – schools must remain open

Write to your MP today using the text below. Remember to add your address at the end.

———————————————————————-
I am writing as a very concerned parent and member of campaign group UsforThem. In March, the government closed schools to the vast majority of pupils. At that point, the government did not perhaps know the damage that would be caused by this action. By the end of the Summer term 2020, schools remained closed to approximately 83% of children, and 94% of vulnerable children had not been in school.
Since then, the massive and devastating collateral damage to our young generation this action has caused has been well documented. Report after report has highlighted the catastrophic academic, social and mental health effects on children, especially the most vulnerable. The gap between the wealthy and disadvantaged has widened and may never be recoverable. It is a tragedy for a young generation robbed of their potential. All children are now, to some extent, vulnerable. They live in a state of constant uncertainty over whether their schooling will continue, are blamed for ‘killing granny’, deprived of interaction with extended family and friends, and suffer poorer physical health with restricted access to sports for an extended period.
Unicef stated: “The benefits of keeping schools open far outweigh the costs of closing them, and nationwide closures of schools should be avoided at all costs”.
Yet- here we are again, with the mood music indicating that schools will close again in January for a month or perhaps longer. Remote learning in the Summer term was an unmitigated disaster for millions of children- there can be no pretence that it is a substitute for face-to-face schooling.
I despair at the low regard in which the government and opposition parties alike appear to hold our children. The entire premise of the COVID-19 response has been to ‘protect the vulnerable’. Children are also vulnerable. Yet their right to education is now contingent on hypotheses about their role in viral transmission. I implore you to oppose school closures and protect our young people. As a parent, I will not be able to forgive or forget this wilful destruction of our children’s futures. I suspect you will find that the children themselves, when grown and faced with the ballot box will be similarly unforgiving.

Every inpatient will have a TEP (treatment escalation plan) – they’ve not been called “DNR’s” for ages… and this is agreed with the patient if they’re able. The form may just say “for full resuscitation”, or it may mention other treatments such as whether antibiotics are to be given etc. You can just ask your local hospital for access to your notes or ask your GP specifically. Also, the heart has to stop first, and there’s usually a medical reason for that which is only occasionally reversible.

He’s just FOMOing. He’d love to have had a “crisis” like this when he was PM.

Not sure exactly how his proposal works in general. There are regulations about how drugs and treatments are approved for good reasons. Is he suggesting these can be overruled with “emergency” authorizations by the government?

What if Hancock decides that it’s a good idea to inject everyone with radium in a year? He might “know” it’s a good thing because he heard it from some science guy in a tie with a white coat, who is also his mate, and happens to own a radium mine.

In theory the one-dose strategy makes sense but you can’t just bend rules like that. We seem to be buying far more doses than we need anyway so I think he can probably calm down. The one saving grace of Bozo compared to Blair is at least he is more incompetent.

CDC update report about the strain in UK.Seems UK is doing more sequencing than US.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/scientific-brief-emerging-variant.html

The VOC 202012/01 variant has not been identified through sequencing efforts in the United States, although viruses have only been sequenced from about 51,000 of the 17 million US cases. Ongoing travel between the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the high prevalence of this variant among current UK infections, increase the likelihood of importation. Given the small fraction of US infections that have been sequenced, the variant could already be in the United States without having been detected.
Of the approximately 275,000 full-genome sequences currently in public databases, 51,000 are from the United States. (The UK currently has the most sequences, with 125,000).

His first wife (Boris’ mother) Charlotte Johnson Wahl “made her name as a professional portrait painter” for Crispin Tickell; the UN spook who first convinced Margret Thatcher to introduce the concept of CO2 driven ‘climate change’ into mainstream British politics in a speech she gave to the Royal Society, in September 1988.
Sir Crispin is a direct descendent of Thomas Henry Huxley (known as Darwin’s bulldog), one of the first promoters of Darwinism and Eugenics (leading to Government sterilisation policies all over the world).

More than suspicious. It’s downright impossible for there to be, as claimed, a pandemic of a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus ‘ripping through the country’, yet to have far fewer deaths with the clinical picture you’d expect from a SARS virus: respiratory symptoms.

I think this is the source data set.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales

On the Weekly Figures 2020 tab there are 2 rows:
“Deaths where the underlying cause was respiratory disease (ICD-10 J00-J99)”
and
“Deaths where COVID-19 was mentioned on the death certificate (ICD-10 U07.1 and U07.2)”

and a comment above “Note: Deaths could possibly be counted in both causes presented. If a death had an underlying respiratory cause and a mention of COVID-19 then it would appear in both counts.”

Which, to my mind makes this data problematic in principle unless we know the extend of the overlap.

Although we should be able to say that all those dying OF Covid appear in the respiratory disease row. And the mentioned row contains those dying WITH Covid e.g. heart failure.

The answer that I hear is something along the lines of “but the kids are still at school” “it’s those people not wearing masks” “i’ve been out at shops and people aren’t even observing social distancing”. people are still stuck in the details. Debating tiers and the nuances of rules. The behavioural team have done an exceptional job of dividing our nation through multiple avenues.

We are miles off rejecting it all for a return to normality. As many seems to agree on here we are not going back to normal and from what I gather the population don’t seem to want normal anyway.

I hate to sound bleak but I don’t see how we win the fight back to normal. I don’t know what outcome would be considered a success at this rate?

319219 ▶▶▶ Charlie Blue, replying to JHuntz, 5, #461 of 2095 🔗

I agree that many don’t seem to want normal. After 9 months of fear mongering and infantilisation their expectations for themselves and our society seem to have shifted, perhaps irrevocably.

Like many others here I have always thought that the shift will come when enough people feel the economic pain, but who knows when the magic money tree will finally wither. People are gradually joining the ranks of the unemployed, but the gradual drip, drip and lack of attention to this from MSM seems to ensure that the magnitude of the disaster remains obscured. I wonder whether this will prevent the sense of shared grievance and anger ever reaching the critical mass. Will people just remain in their physical and psychological isolation and accept defeat?

I’m sorry that’s not hopeful, just wondering aloud….

Great post and we need to consider this properly. The 1930s are often seen as a terrible decade economically. They certainly were for those who were unemployed with little financial support. However real wages grew for the great majority in work which lessens the political pressure for change. I think there are strong parallels with today.

Also I know someone who lost his job at M and S in November as they got rid of large numbers of jobs. Now he was always a huge lockdown zealot and he still is!! He blames his job loss on ‘the pandemic’ and not the lockdowns. So maybe we should not be too complacent about economic pain changing minds. I used to feel sorry for him but now I have little sympathy.

The WHO has gone full witchcraft and has certified itself as being officially corrupt with its new definition of herd immunity.
As Gatti, Montanari and CHD have stated, scientifically, the exact opposite is true: medical evidence for herd immunity through vaccinations simply does not exist.

But at least their take on it is now officially confirmed: that herd immunity is an entirely theoretical computer model concept without any medical evidence, invented by computer modelers, aka epidemiologists, on behalf of the vaccine industry, to justify the vaccination of all people, so, in particular of everyone not at risk of a pathogen or disease, in order to reap even more gigantic profits and bribes and in order to be able to pursue eugenic agendas more easily.

319200 ▶ George Mc, replying to George Mc, 18, #489 of 2095 🔗

Brilliant article:

https://www.thebellows.org/the-great-covid-class-war/

“The pandemic is a convenient scapegoat for the largest upward wealth transfer in modern human history. Under the pretext of a public health policy, elites have successfully waged a counterrevolution that will result in the erosion of working conditions and quality of life for generations to come.
…
Lockdown fanatics have helped manufacture consent for a brutal reorganization of labor that will plunge millions of people into serfdom. The work-from-home lifestyle is only possible through the labor of logistics workers who transport, sort, and deliver goods. Currently about 10 million jobs that existed in February have not been replaced. Many workers have been forced to take on part-time, no-contract work, a labor model that is rolling back decades of hard-fought protections.
…
At the start of the covid crisis, vocal segments of the American left argued that economic shutdown was a way to resist billionaires and capitalism. This demonstrated a deep misunderstanding of the way financiers can profit from economic contraction. Many on the left chose to ignore the Biblical scale of the destruction that economic stoppages would cause, arguing that the covid crisis was an opportunity. Today the left continues to advance the illusion that meaningful relief is possible, while workers’ pensions are plundered, children’s futures disappear, and 150 million people are pushed into extreme poverty worldwide. Lockdowns were not bungled by incompetent leaders. They were in fact executed perfectly, because their purpose was not public health but rather the rapid installment of a regressive neoliberal agenda designed by the nonprofit industrial complex. ”

They were in fact executed perfectly, because their purpose was not public health but rather the rapid installment of a regressive neoliberal agenda designed by the nonprofit industrial complex.”

And so it goes and will continue to go. The “incompetence” meme has been the great calling card of the Left and of the “radical satirical writers” every step of the way. The Spitting Image sketch with its schoolboy fart humour is a marginally more moronic version of this Leftist “subversion”. These self-congratulating “rebels” launch their “incisive” attacks on the establishment without ever showing any awareness at all that they are simply puppets playing a role in a theatre that has been set up for them.

319230 ▶▶ BeBopRockSteady, replying to George Mc, 6, #491 of 2095 🔗

Superb but horrifying. More so than new strain of Covid that’s for sure.

Once you add in the fact that people will soon come face to face with the personal costs of all this, the political upheaval will be huge as they also realise they’ve also given up freedom, job security (job insecurity is a good thing for the elites remember) and any semblance of secure incomes.

319239 ▶▶▶ Noumenon, replying to BeBopRockSteady, 2, #492 of 2095 🔗

Job insecurity is only good for the elite if kept within certain proportions. If unemployment becomes too high that part of the population can become a vocal and existential threat to the elite. Carrot and stick only works if the stick is under a certain length.

Am I being particularly stupid?

New mutant strain discovered September but “ PHE did not alert the Government or its scientists to the mutated strain’s existence until December, by which point more than 1,100 people were confirmed to have had the new version of the virus.”

But Google’s cases data shows that after the original outbreak at the beginning of March cases were running at 4-5000 a day after about a month. Meanwhile the new 70% more infectious variety has taken 3 months to get to 1,100 total cases? The only thing that seems to be 70% more infectious is stupidity.

I took a cross country car trip yesterday mainly travelling on motorways. This would be a very boring message in normal times as there were no problems whatsoever. There was quite heavy traffic and a lot of HGVs. My journey took me from tier 2 to tier 3. I saw one police vehicle the whole journey. Motorway signs informed me of the current tier status although i’m uncertain what relevance this has to driving. Do I go faster in tier 3 to outrun the virus? There was some pointless message about travel documents to the EU on some message boards. It seemed to me if you understood the message (I didn’t) then you would have already done what was required.

I was a bit anxious about going into services mask free but no problem there. When you have an eating area others are mask free so I didn’t feel out of place. As suggested to me by another contributor (thanks!) I now carry a lanyard under my jumper. It is not really visible at all but helps with confidence. Maybe a bit like having a cross to ward off vampires.

Later that evening I went to the local morrisons to get Christmas grub in. It was fine being unmasked there too. Lots of staff were out restocking the shelves nearly all mask free. Everyone friendly. It felt almost normal. Not really any sign of panic buying. They were out of sprouts (panic!) but other than that I got everything I needed.

The data showing that the new mutant super-strain results in higher viral load. Well maybe. A bit.

https://t.co/UvNhqdPvkN?amp=1

Looking at the box plots you can see that they’re pretty close together. They do some statistical analysis the results of which are in Table 1. Basically it’s saying the odds of your having high viral load if you catch the new Y501 mutant are somewhere between 1.111x and 23.218x what they are if you catch plain old N501. Because that range just excludes 1 this counts as statistically significant. By a whisker.

By “high viral” load they mean greater than >= 10^3 on their diagram. It’s not clear if they cherry-picked that threshold to just scrape past 1 on the odds-ratio.

Conclude from this what you will but it’s not a smoking gun.

This is not really a place for converting people. It’s more a place of r&r, reinforcement, resupply, and inspiration for those already disillusioned with the elite dogma.

As RickH points out, one of the primary uses of this place has always been disseminating information and arguments that counter the prevailing propaganda. I know a number of people who say they read the atl material but never come to the comments.

And alongside that purpose has always been the other goal that you describe of providing a meeting place for like-minded antilockdowners. One of the main goals of elite propaganda and censorship has always been to make dissenters feel isolated, alone and insane – as it was done to “racists”, so it is being done now to lockdown dissenters and “anti-vaxxers”. The parallels are stark for anyone who has observed these developments honestly over the past half century Places like this counter that directly.

So there are twin primary benefits of LS to the antilockdown cause. Neither should be underestimated in its importance, imo.

From the update:

“The big difference between this year and previous winter ‘crises’ is that Hospital staff are now being repeatedly tested for Covid…”

No, they are being administered a PCR, which is represented as – when positive – indicating the presence of a virus called SarsCov-2 (which according to the CDC has not been isolated) which is presumed to cause a disease called covid-19, the symptoms of which are virtually identical to those of other repiratory diseases.

My nearest hospital had 3 new Covid-19 patients yesterday. They are not overwhelmed on that score.

However they are overwhelmed in areas like cancer treatment. My sister is a cancer nurse and they have a large backlog of cases due to the shutdown earlier in the year. The cases they deal with are more serious (again due to the shutdown), they have fewer staff (because of a number off isolating), and they are able to treat as many patients due to the Covid cleaning rules.
It sounds like an awful working environment.

Why is the BBC running cover for Sturgeon? They claim she took off her mask at a funeral. No, it was at a wake, not a funeral.

They note it is an offence punishable by a fine but do not contact the authorities to find out when she will be prosecuted.

They carry no negative comments from her political opponents.

She’s been lecturing everyone for best part of a year about how important it is to follow the rules in order to save lives. Now she is trying to make out it was just a silly mistake and nothing to do with saving lives or endangering them. Sorry that’s not good enough from one who is so po-faced, hectoring and moralistic about the issue.

Communism suits them, because it freezes – or attempts to freeze – economy and society in its present condition. It eliminates competition and prevents rival businesses from accumulating capital, and therefore challenging those who are already on top.

It also regulates stable markets providing them with reliable sales and profits.

As noted here before, it depends which fascism you are talking about.

Franco was basically conservative and therefore of the right. Hitler was basically radical and therefore of the left, but also used many tropes of the right to attract support. Mussolini was somewhere in between, but probably closer to the left.

I’ve never really understood why it should matter much whether the thug running a vast soul-destroying enterprise protected by the state “owns” it by monetary or by political means.

Novelism – where only a machined intelligence (sic) writes the Script.
Seriously we are simply talking of deceit. Not deceitism. For every ism there is an anti-ism by which to persist the conceit.
Truth is free of deceit. Hence there is no truth in the world Model through which a manipulative mind plays out its script.

The technologising of insights and behaviours works at a deeper level than a scripted character can recognise – because the mind is framed or identified predicates, presumptions and beliefs that operate ‘automatically’ as a machine intelligence.

At some level we made such ‘thinking’ and operate out from it.
One could call it a masking ‘reality’ – but
WHO told you you were naked? (said the Lord).
Well that is a pointer to a mind of imaginative deceits that CAN freely align in the Creative – as the participation and Extension of a Great Music – or can freely identify in self-image, as a temporary bubble of private meanings – that set up a dissonance of fear by which to maintain the masking bubble as a sense of oppositional defence against the projection of one’s own reflection or feedback loop.

That humankind is largely a long way down multiple rabbit holes of self and Self evasion is the feedback of what THEY are doing – regardless the different meanings assigned in the formula.
Even if we allow that WE are doing, this still presumes a self exception for the one who would ‘tell it’.

Some of the best quotes come from those who see the truth that they chose not to align in – but would rather possess the insight than yield to the living Source of insight. No blame here. But there is a Pattern in operation that seems protective and yet sets us up for a Fall guy. Over and over again, like a clockwork fruit.
If insight is New Wine then the mind we took to be our own is the old wine bottles.

Think about words like “corporatist” and “technocrat” and you will be nearer the mark. The aim is clearly a controlled society with a permanent ruling class, which is above any criticism.

This will set policies to “fight disease”, “fight climate change” etc, all of which will be very profitable to these elites. All this will be legitimised by pseudo-scientific justifications.

319356 ▶ OKUK, replying to OKUK, 14, #653 of 2095 🔗

We are all a little puzzled as to why the public are following the rules with such a high degree of compliance. I think there are two powerful
psychological factors at work which help the government in this respect.

Firstly although we supposedly live in a modern rational world, I think the vast majority of us are still very superstitious. We might not believe in ghosts and sprites, but I think statistics have taken on the role of “fate” in people’s lives. And people still very much live by the rule of “don’t tempt fate”. To doubt the statistics, as presented by the government, is to invite statistical retribution – for you or a family member to be harmed or killed by the virus. People are subconsciously very frightened of that I believe. And of course the government does everything in its power to encourage that fear.

Secondly, a lot of people quite reasonably ask themselves – as we do here – why would the government do all this unless it was strictly necessary? How could it be in the government’s interest to destroy the economy, the health service, sport and culture, family life and our education system? This is a reasonable question to ask and does not have a simple answer. So people tend to stick to the idea that the government must be doing it because it is strictly necessary.

Agreed.

Masks, for example, clearly have a talisman fundtion. A visible sign to ward off the evil spirits.

As for motives – so few people have an understanding of the basic financial/economic situation, and simply cannot think at the scale that is necessary in order to comprehend what is going on.

319530 ▶▶▶ TheBluePill, replying to calchas, 5, #662 of 2095 🔗

Yes. So many people just cannot comprehend what a number greater than a few hundred or smaller than a few hundredths actually means. Not surprising as there is no evolutionary advantage to that. So they take a cognitive shortcut (which does have an evolutionary advantage) and just approximate whether it is good or bad, taking accompanying propaganda hints into account.

This can be pinned on massive failure in primary maths education.

319510 ▶▶ TheBluePill, replying to OKUK, 4, #663 of 2095 🔗

I think it’s really complicated to understand what is going on. I’m begining to think it is in a big part an inability for individuals to make up their own mind on anything by themselves. They need a consensus (a herd if you will) and until they get one they are quite literally deaf to any discussion that goes against the right-think. It may be a consequence of prolonged exposure and submission to PC fascism. I’ve noticed that if I try to talk one-on-one with someone they visibly switch off and don’t listen to a word – it’s a weird defense mechanism. In some it is almost like all congnitive activity has just been paused. They don’t even know they are doing it. However, if I confidently defy the collective in a group situation (work meeting for example) they will listen and begin to think and even show support. It’s like it is permitted to think about if the herd don’t oppose what I am saying. If you get one covidiot in the group who recites the propaganda then it is all over, but if it is a group of scared sheep then progress can be made. It’s all very, very odd.

Have they identified transmission chains and deduced objectively that the ‘R’ number is higher for this chain? Or just done some high-level mathematical analysis of relative rates of one strain vs another over time, derived from the dodgy testing data, in conjunction with untold numbers of dodgy assumptions. I highly suspect its the latter, in which case like most so-called ‘science’ this year is more akin to the reading of tea leaves than what we used to know as science.

Last night I collected a takeaway from our favourite restaurant to try and give them some support during this madness.The owners daughter said they have not received a penny of help from the government since lockdown 1 in the spring and that help didn’t amount to much ,this time around they will soon have been closed for eight weeks with absolutely no hope of being open probably for months yet.
I have overheard conversations and seen posts on other websites where members of the brainwashed mass claim that there is no problem with businesses being closed to ‘save lives’ because they are all being generously helped financially by the government so they should stop moaning.
It is frightening that so many people have been hypnotised into thinking everything is rosy and it is all going to be just fine and one day things will just carry on where we left off.

The problem is that the overwhelming majority of people in this country are economically illiterate.

Go back to April when furlough started, I saw countless people telling those who were furious about not being able to work that “the Government it literally paying you to stay at home and watch Netflix, stop complaining about things”. Normally added something about NHS heroes as well, it’s a key part of any virtue signal.

People don’t understand where the Govt obtains money from, almost as if they though furlough was paid from some magic pot of money they found in Westminster.

I have asked my MP:- “Why the government is investing such a huge amount of money in unproven vaccinations, developed at unprecedented speed and with acknowledged risks, when there are already proven prophylactic and early treatments available ?” A response is awaited.

I just cannot believe that nobody is raising this issue. Here are two relevant links:-

On the Treatment of Covid-19 – Swiss Policy Research (swprs.org)
Ivermectin is effective for COVID-19: meta analysis of 24 studies (ivmmeta.com)

These sites provide numerous references to international, peer-reviewed studies demonstrating very high success rates for the treatments, which are relatively cheap to implement. They evidence huge reductions in severity and fatality rates.

Why is SAGE / the government not, at the very least, recommending people to take the easily available, non-prescription dietary supplements Zinc, and vitamins C and D, to boost immunity ? I am not aware that the health service is making use of Ivermectin, Quercetin and Bromhexine for prophylactic / early treatment – do any medical professionals here know ?

As far as I am concerned, based on my research, the government and health authorities have not done everything possible to fight this pandemic. How can the strategy of ‘lockdown restrictions’ be justified, with the associated detrimental effects on overall mental and physical health, and human rights, with the impossible aim of ‘defeating the virus’, when simple, and apparently highly effective treatments have been ignored ?

Is it not time to retire the ‘Mathematical Modellers’ and Psychologists from the SAGE group, and replace them with experienced medical scientists ? Then the government might be able to follow the relevant science, rather than the relentlessly negative group-think which delivers such destructive advice.

One thing this whole situation illustrates very well is how our institutions have become completely and utterly corrupted over time.

I agree completely, John Galt. It has laid bare the shortcomings of many UK institutions (the NHS, the BBC, universities, the civil service, the broadcast media, the professioriate, science and the medical profession). These shortcomings have been, above all, ethical. But the situation has also laid bare their intellectual and logistical weaknesses.

My theory is that this is the culmination of what happens when you have a whole generation of centre left politics/politicians and the rot in the UK was cemented very firmly by Blair. He made not secret of putting leftwing and New Labour placemen in all of our institutions which have, over time, become increasingly woke and at the same time a generation of kids grew up under his tenure that were educated into snowflakes for whom any disagreement sends them crying. Therefore anything that “offends” them is shut down by the institutions.

The effect of this is a mollycodelled society and also of now young adults who can’t accept a different point of view, including that people in life also die, policitians who daren’t say exactly that and/or are so woke themselves (e.g. the unConservative party), a BBC that is full of the woke who can’t/won’t challenge and on and on.

It’s the infantilization of politics and anyone who challenges it is demonized (Brexit-voters, Trump’s Deplorables etc.) and shut out/down.

I’m prettey sure this applies across Europe too but I’m not knowledgeable enough other than to know/notice that any criticism of Merkel opening up Germany to refugees was slated (including the rise of the Alternativ fur Deutschland party) and ditto Matteo Salvini in Italy, Marine Le Pen in France. These countries seem to lag in their wokeness but I have no doubt it will come to them too. What they have got, though, is the same left-leaning politicians/globalists runnint their countries.

319466 ▶▶ Victoria, replying to sumy, #735 of 2095 🔗

Absolutely right.

The majority of people on antacids should rather improve their stomach acid to improve digestion – wobbly teeth in older people are due to a lack of nutrients as the body is unable to absorb calcium and other nutrients

If not sufficient stomach acid then the food putrifies in the body leading to symptoms that ‘looks like’ too much acid and result in many health issues.

What are the chances to have the 2 slowest moving visible planets of our solar system meeting exactly in the 1st degree of Aquarius?
The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21st, 2020 may well be that final ‘ cosmic push ’ that will mark the official beginning of the Age of Aquarius .
Change is around the corner and will come sooner than we expect. Humanity’s next chapter is currently being written, right in front of our eyes.

Age of Aquarius (2000-4000) As long as the ego is separate from the soul, we won’t have freedom and progress (Aquarius’ higher manifestation), but instead will have division and will continue to attempt to use machines (weapons, robots, or the internet) to justify one side of the story – either “the ego” or “the soul”.
However, sooner or later, at the end of this ‘cosmic battle’, when we’ll reconcile the YING and the YANG, and we will eventually find a “ new Renaissance ” – or the triumph of Aquarius’ highest values: humanitarianism, knowledge, reason, innovation, and people who work towards a greater goal.
?resize=613%2C605&ssl=1
As we are shifting from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, we will learn that each individual is important – not as an amorphous mass easy to maneuver (Age of Pisces).
Every single one of us is born for a reason, and we all can bring our own contribution to the development of society. Every single one of us can make the world a better place .
Aquarius is the opposite sign from Leo. Leo is what makes us unique. Leo is the creator, the leader. Aquarius takes Leo’s unique qualities to the “next level” putting them into a higher context.
“Me” is put into the use of “We” – so that we can create something much greater than the sum of individual efforts. But of course, to get to “We”, we need to acknowledge each person’s unique qualities.
In Greek mythology, Aquarius is Prometheus, the Titan God that stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humans. The fire is, of course, a symbol for the light of knowledge, but also, quite literally, Aquarius is a symbol for electricity and other types of renewable energy.
?resize=600%2C835&ssl=1
During this new Age, we can expect new types of energies to be discovered. Other likely developments are artificial intelligence, space travel, and connections with other forms of life.
Aquarius is the most global sign of the zodiac – it rules networks and communities based on a mutual vision. In the next 2000 years, there’s no more place for top-down, hierarchical cultures or extreme political doctrines.
Aquarius is a democratic, egalitarian sign; the types of top-down systems that have dominated our society in the last millennia will simply cease to work.
The Age of Aquarius will come with a completely different “operating system” – something we haven’t seen yet… at least in the last 26.000 years.
We have, of course, started to witness the influence of the Age of Aquarius already since the late 18th century, with the discovery of Uranus (Aquarius’ modern ruler) which also coincided with the discovery of electricity .
These Aquarian influences have since then intensified, especially in the last 50 years.

Well seeing as the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction was at 0 Aquarius in the Tropical zodiac (seasonally based, and out of alignment with the constellations) and the ‘Age of Aquarius’ (a Theosophical society invention, which should tell you all you need to know) is the apparent precession of the Spring Equinox into the constellation of Aquarius, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Sounds exactly like the manifesto of the UN which is a New Age manifesto with its roots in the works of Bailey and Blavatsky.

That is a direct contradiction to biblical truth. As its very likely that the people coordinating the current shit show are also movers and shakers in the UN and its subsidiaries I think we can already begin to see the fruits of this ‘new age’.

The ‘we’ not ‘me’ also sounds a familiar tenet with its roots in communism or as its currently being re-badged communitarianism. The green agenda is just one of the current drivers towards this new normal.

The ego of self-image set in mask, is a construct set against nakedness to truth
Or more simply you are never what you think.
The idea of an awakening will become weaponised and marketised – by the ego of possession and control.
But awakening is the undoing of the mask to the revealing of the devices that run beneath its appearances.
And so the craziness and ghastly parody of life is coming up to be released.
Therefore it is not the beginning of a process of overcoming or eradicating ‘ego’ but the timing for the harvest of all that is true to a conscious alignment in truth rather than a broken or divided will or love made captive to hate.
If it be your will.

The golden rule gives or serves as it would in truth receive. This is not sacrificial or coercive. To recognise our self in others is not sacrificial or coercive.
But to seek to make a system of enforcement for masking in images and behaviours of ‘virtue’ is sacrificial and coercive.

Jesus said – they know not what they do.
We call it cognitive dissonance.
The thinking possesses the minds of the thinker to run a bot-net of automata.
Perhaps indeed the Script is already written and our freedom is to witness to truth … or self-illusion.

Proof that political dissent against the government is not tolerated in Britain.

I was in London on Saturday. As I walked up Regent Street there was a large demonstration against the Indian’s government policies (as I understood it, their policies would harm farmers). There were no police in attendance.

Less than two hours later I returned down Regent Street and now there was the demonstration against the U.K. government’s Covid policies. This time there was a massive police presence and the police were seizing individual protesters as they walked, throwing them to the ground and violently hand-cuffing them. The brutality of the police was shocking.

This clearly shows that political dissent against the government is no longer tolerated in Britain: a protect giants the Indian government is permitted but one against the British government – in exactly the same place and the same day – is violently suppressed.

Off-Guardian warned at the very beginning of this doomsday show, that we were being subjected to such an oceanic surge of media terror that it was impossible to even hope for any rational discussion i.e. that we were facing war propaganda. It has hardly let up and is now accelerating.

From the actual Guardian:

“Exclusive England’s hospitals set to treat more Covid patients on Christmas Day than ever before”

(Unintentionally funny ambiguity there. Is that more Christmas Day Covid patients than ever before?)

“Guardian analysis will add to concerns about ability of NHS to cope with surge in cases over winter”

(Magical premonition there!)

“More of England ‘ could move into tier 4 from Boxing Day”

Hmm.. no chance of leaving us along for one fucking day at Christmas then!

And just on cue:

“Live Coronavirus: new variant already in ‘great majority if not all’ European countries , says expert”

“Live” coronavirus? Is it going on tour then?

And just to keep up the celeb front:

“The French president, Emmanuel Macron, is showing signs of improvement after testing positive for Covid-19 last week, his office said. Macron, 43, is in quarantine …”

There is plenty of evidence of Gates being linked to sterilising vaccines before and you only have to watch his videos to see how he thinks regarding population control – it’s scary. ANH’s video regarding the vaccines is very balanced and ask good questions, so I am recommending people watch this and then make up their own mind.

I remember seeing a video ages ago, purporting to have info from a Pfizer whistleblower saying that the vaccine sterilising effect would show up first after 7 years when there would be a massive drop in fertility, with the time delay making it difficult to prove the link..

I know your comment is more wit but fear and hate of life is underneath much of what passes off as real.

Some under such a conviction can project and divert the hate away from a masking sense of control that displaces toxic consequence onto others.
“Now see what you made me do!”

Others become magnets or targets for the hate of others on top of their own – and often end their lives to escape pain.
“Now see what you have made of me!”

Hate and blame are synonyms.
If we release it we are released.
But all that we seek to lay on everyone else has some part of our own mind – that will never leave you – for it contains a denied facet of our wholeness.

The mortal condition is life set in fear of pain of loss even to death.
Recoil against fear sets up the attempt to get rid of it.
This leads to the Great Unconsciousness – which works contra to life as a sense of limitation and overriding will.. Also known as the Adversary or indeed the ‘ego’. Its hate aspect works a cynical scorn that takes delight in undermining, breaking and destroying. You can notice this ‘voice’ in your own mind as that of self-hating.

Peace is part of wholeness of being, but the unconsciousness of life made normal, sets a narrative illusion of peace that is really a restless pattern of shifting evasions, that become more and more unwieldy until something breaks in to violate a peace could only seem to be, as the result of exclusion that we had become wilfully unaware of.
It was the excluded fairy that set the spell of Sleep.
But the mistaken attempt to reverse this is the forced inclusion – as if you must love what you hate and so make the form of love an act of coercion and denial.

Love is the capacity to be with what is and recognise truth here.
The recognition restores the peace.

The world entered the Great Depression on a Gold Standard.

This time, there is no limit on the ability of the Central Banks to print.

The Debt-Berg is also much bigger now than it was then.
All of this means that we are headed for hyperinflation this time, rather than the grinding deflation of the 1930s.

It will still feel like a depression though for most people,

The greater the role we acord to market forces though, and the smaller the role we accord to central planning, the quicker we shall recover.

A few weeks ago, I texted a family member that our reaction to this virus is staggering given that all but 1700 people without pre-existing conditions had died.

Next thing I knew, she’d taken to her twitter mob and all the usual FBPE suspects were calling me a Nazi who was promoting eugenics, was uncaring, callous etc. and basically advocating killing people.

Their ignorance is as staggering as their lack of curiosity/understanding as to what “pre-existing conditions” really means i.e. serious underlying and often terminal conditions. One woman said I was advocating her death because she has arthritis. What I’d actually intended was to show them reality for most healthy people i.e. go out and live your life because the risk to most people is miniscule.

The battle we have is massive becuase these types simply cannot and/or will not look at facts because their “feelings” get in the way and my belief as to why is per my response to your earlier post about the infiltration of UK institutions.

https://pastebin.com/4h905TPU

Whether this would work with the people you described? Probably not, haha, but it’s another angle at least.

I’m absolutely fascinated by the psychology behind all of this. Why do we see through it but others just cannot? The facts are the same for us all. It’s not like anything is being held back or hidden. I really need to find a book explaining how and why people differ regarding their susceptibility to propaganda.

319699 ▶▶▶▶ Sceptic in Oxford, replying to John Galt, 5, #895 of 2095 🔗

I’ve been trying to understand it too and I’ve decided that a huge part of it is about your personaliy and whether you:

look at facts (or go with feelings)
are in business or in the public sector (sometimes down to feelings also)
are a risk taker
are outgoing or insular
your political persuasion (again, often about being in the public sector)
your exposure to earning your keep/staying afloat/the commercial world i.e. your business acument or, wether, per the public sector, the money just keeps coming.

To my mind, this has morphed into a (broadly) public vs private sector argument because the vast majority of public sector workers are cossetted and have no idea about really and properly earning a living or the real world i.e. if the customer isn’t happy, they go elsewhere and if it happens enough, you go bust.

That doesn’t happen for them AT ALL.

BUT they are simultaneously able to say that they’re more caring because they can cite the short-term/immediate facts of current deaths wherease longer term facts like those for cancer etc. are projections and, hey, they that’s another fight for them another day.

I know there are some in the public sector on here and I’m not saying it’s all of them by any means. As I say, I think it’s a mix of all that goes to making one’s personality.

Good afternoon Sceptic in Oxford,

Im sorry to hear about this.

Sadly it reinforces the impression that my wife has of a number of her work colleagues.

Completely emotionally driven people without any ability to use rationality or logic. They seem terrified but actually would probably struggle to sum up if asked, just why they are so fearful.

She said that, in her opinion these particular people have other issues pre-dating all of this, such as lack of confidence, anxiety, body image etc… in other words this situation has given them an outlet for their problems which is actively encouraged.

Obviously the above is only anecdotal, but seems fairly plausible.

I certainly know of another family member who has been tipped over the edge with this. She’s mid-40s and in good health but now rarely leaves the house. My amateur psychologist’s assessment is that she’s always wanted a career but has been a mum and housewife for 13 years now and although she loves her kids and husband, is unfulfilled, maybe feels a failure (I don’t know) and this has tipped her over.

Isn’t being over 80 a pre-existing condition in itself? I don’t mean to be glib, but I don’t know anyone over 80 who doesn’t have some health issue or isn’t on some kind of medication. Just the less robust immune system of an elderly person is a pre-existing condition of sorts, or can at least explain why a virus could cause death where it wouldn’t in a much younger person.

319768 ▶▶▶ John Galt, replying to Lisa (formerly) from Toronto, 1, #904 of 2095 🔗

Yes, definitely. Like you say, the immune system gets worse with age, which was an accepted part of life until this year!

Aging is accompanied by remodeling of the immune system. With time, this leads to a decline in immune efficacy, resulting in increased vulnerability to infectious diseases, diminished responses to vaccination, and a susceptibility to age-related inflammatory diseases.

Great stats. We should all share these as widely as possible. The shocking truth is though, that even that 4% number is overstated. The reason being that the sheer numbers of people being tested will mean that many of them who may have died in a motorbike accident or falling off a tall building or similar, If they happen to have had a positive Covid test three weeks ago, they will be registered as a Covid death. In the 0-19 age group I did read that the only deaths without a serious pre-existing condition were infants dying at or shortly after birth who had tested positive for Covid. This was never the cause of death though. This is why at the end of the day, no matter what the spin, it will be very hard for them to show any material excess mortality over the entire period of the ‘pandemic’ due to Covid. Covid just does not kill people who are likely to live much longer in enough numbers to do that. Over a short period, if you seed it into Care Homes like our Government, and many others did, yes .you will see a big spike, but once that is stopped. mortality rates quickly revert to normal levels.

Just back from a last minute trip into Truro. Still in Tier ! so everything is open (excluding the businesses which have already expired due to lockdowns), but it was more like a wet Sunday in January than the day before Christmas Eve. In HMV there were three other customers (last Christmas it was a 10 minute queue for the tills), and in Waterstones the customers were outnumbered by the staff. Also noted quite a lot of ‘Sale’ posters in shop windows – if we do go full lockdown again I don’t expect all of the smaller local businesses will survive. On street mask compliance at about 10-15%, but only one other maskless in a shop. All in all not a very seasonal experience, who knows when I shall venture into town again..

Letter to The Supreme Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Mr. Kim Jong-un.

Dear Mr. Kim,

I am writing to you in desperation to ask if you can help our country. The people of Britain are being kept under constant house arrest, forbidden to see families and friends, allowed out only to collect food which is now in very short supply and subject to rationing. Our national media has been gagged and now broadcasts nothing but government propaganda 24 hours a day. Our health service has been ‘cancelled’, our judiciary has been coerced to only support government policy, our right to demonstrate peacefully has been suspended and any attempts to do this are brutally curtailed by armed, masked thugs, masquerading as policemen, all cultural activities and any form of worship have been outlawed, our MP’s are supine and acquiescent to anything our government wishes, our very right to breathe freely is under threat.

Could you please use your good offices to bring these abuses of human rights to the notice of the United Nations, I feel you are the only hope we have left.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Old Bill

The low lights are ““It might seem strange, but wearing a face covering inside is a really good idea when you’re in the presence of another household indoors,” says Dr Fitzgerald.”

“I would recommend leaving the food in the kitchen, and people going in to serve themselves,” he says. “However, if you are going to be bringing food to the table, and passing somebody within less than two metres, then wear a face covering when you’re moving around.”

“You could swap presents by the door, then go on a long walk together. Bring some snacks (and sanitiser) on the way. By being a bit inventive with your day, you are less likely to miss doing all the traditions,” says Prof Yardley.

How about dividing the comment threads in to two sections?

One for the sane and rational people who just want Johnson, SAGE and his cabinet in jail and all the restrictions to end

and another for the nutters who think this is “all planned” by Gates and Schwab for their apparent sadistic pleasure and that it is all “supposed to happen”. It’s all part of some devious plot and that Johnson is a robot programmed to obey every whim of Schwab, or is some cunning actor who is pretending to be miserable.

It’s paranoia.

If one could make a cast iron case against the necessity for lockdown and compulsory masking , and also for a more rigorous examination of the need for a vaccine, then perhaps one could manipulate a classic “turning” exercise .
If the power of the 77th is as strong as sometmes claimed then using its power against, say, the BBC would destroy that institution’s defences fairly quickly.
The only influence on the Govt at present (neglecting the possibility of corrupt financial dealings which are just supposition) is the BBC.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist in the slightest. I don’t buy pizzagate, I don’t buy 9/11 stuff, I think we went to the moon, etc.

But there is a limit to what I can believe is possible through simple incompetence and hysteria. This year we have seen the complete and 100% transformation of nearly every aspect of life in nearly every corner of the developed world, and much of the developing. Every aspect is bring us closer to a completely totalitarian society, and all of it is based on a falsehood.

As implausible as a coordinated conspiracy seems, the alternative – that we have conjured a world-war level global crisis out of thin air and almost everyone has fallen for it – is starting to look equally implausible.

I’m not saying I buy any specific theories about Klaus Schwab being the puppet master to all global leaders or suchlike, but it’s all getting fishier by the day and there are certainly people out there benefitting, both financially and in terms of power and ego. It’s also being used in a very obvious way to further climate change policy and other globalist-type interests which also sets my alarm bells ringing.

319942 ▶▶▶ Muzz Off, replying to Muzz Off, 1, #959 of 2095 🔗

To follow up on this, I had a thought about the most frequently-cited psychological reason that people are said to believe in conspiracy theories. This is that they believe things are hoaxed (e.g. mass shootings) in order to protect themselves from the horrible reality that there are truly evil people out there wishing to do them great harm.

In this scenario, you could argue the reverse. People are refusing to believe that this is even a little bit planned because of what that implies. They have to believe it’s all a mistake because if it isn’t, the world is a very dark place indeed and the light may not return for a long time.

To be clear, what I envisage when I think about how this might have been ‘planned’ is not shadowy figures plotting in dark rooms or on private islands. It may not even have been ever discussed explicitly by the main orchestrators. I think of it more as a hive-mind type event, where over several years or more, large and powerful international organisations put together plans of how they would combat the next respiratory pandemic, and coincidentally how they would use such a crisis to their advantage.

Note that such organisations believe above all in their own righteousness, so in their eyes planning in this way isn’t even sinister – both combatting a pandemic and furthering their globalist goals (combatting climate change, online ‘disinformation’ etc) are morally correct actions.

As the convergence of interests become more and more clear to all those involved, planning increased and the search for new viruses intensified. This was always bound to yield results. Seek and ye shall find. And what might otherwise have been a totally unnoticed event, or perhaps a relatively minor 3-6 month panic a la SARS, instead triggered the enaction of a grand global plan of coordinated and severe action.

If you think such a plan wasn’t around, you only have to watch Event 201 on Youtube to see it being discussed. This was an event organised by the Gates Foundation, John Hopkins University and the WEF, just months before SARS-Cov-2 was discovered, which simulated a global response to a new coronavirus pandemic. It both eerily presages our current reality and involves key players in the global response to it. I cannot believe this is a coincidence. If you haven’t watched it, you must. Again, these people weren’t laughing in smoky back rooms after the event at how they’ve just announced their grand conspiracy to the world and the plebs haven’t even noticed. They probably sincerely believed in their own importance and the importance of their work that day. But it primed them all to expect the big one to arrive, and when it seemed to, they swung into action.

Of course, I won’t shy away from the idea that some of the key players truly knew the score and privately understood that this scenario could have ended up playing out even for a minor virus. But they stood to benefit and probably in some way convinced themselves that the transformation in store was also for the good of humanity in the long run. Utopian revolutionaries always do before they lay waste to society.

319986 ▶▶▶▶ George L, replying to Muzz Off, 1, #960 of 2095 🔗

Good post.. the only thing I’d add is that total World Control has been a desired objective for perhaps two hundred years, and during that time the so called elite have nearly always signalled their intentions for the more astute to find. Knowing that the masses would never believe those astute few who sounded an alarm.

But there is a limit to what I can believe is possible through simple incompetence and hysteria. “

I would absolutely concur with that.

I think there are many more people, including some of my friends – who I would never have thought would do so – are starting to wonder how we could have such an astonishing series of coincidence of events and responses to bring us to where we are now.

I think, from my research of some of the members of SAGE et al, who have very dubious “interests”, both financial and political, and are “advising” a dithering pillock (PM) and a power freak (Wankcock) would normally be strange bedfellows but, it may be that they are using each other to their own ends.

Add in the fact that huge sums have been made by the wealthiest from this in online commerce etc, then they are not likely to complain.

Perhaps surprisingly, some others around the world still trust that the UK is a sensible place and that “our” opinion is worth considering (God help us!) and, probably encouraged by forces of political dissent from within their own countries, are doing a similar thing.

What perturbs me most is that the bloody BBC is still revered by many worldwide and when the scientists that are of much greater credibility (Barrington Declaration etc) than the twats in SAGE, try to make themselves heard, they are ignored or dismissed as “nut jobs”.

That I think is mostly how we are where we are – but I don’t discount at all, the perfectly verifiable financial (and probably therefore ideological influence) involvement by the likes of Gates and others in WHO, academic research grants, etc.

It may also be that those who DO have intention of a “Great Reset” are also taking advantage of the situation too.

Or I may be wrong!

What I do hope is that we don’t stop debating all this here.

For a long time I subscribed to the Toby incompetence theory but I now find in his weekly arguments with Delingpole that I increasingly find in favour of Delingpole (even though I dislike his support of hunting). Its just hard to imagine most other governments of the world would wreck their own economies because of mutual stupidity and especially for 9 months. Even Sweden is now coming under global pressure to succumb to the favoured strategy. The dodgy US election,the forcing through of Green New Deals,the ever increasing censorship…..these dont sound like manifestations of incompetence to me.

Unfortunately your description of all those who don’t see it as you do as “nutters” won’t help.

There is a whole raft of beliefs varying from those who think it is just a bit of a mistake by “poor Boris” to the “looneys” who think little green men from mars are the problem.

Most are somewhere in between, and if you discount all of those that don’t accord with you then you might find a few problems with posters who’s responses you label as “nutters”.

I have been subject to some strange things happening to a couple of posts I made a few days ago – having posts from a “contributor” I had robustly responded to deleted, and comments “made” by me which I had not made.

I have not had a proper, definitive answer as to what had happened, on here.

People here have said posts are not deleted by mods/admins, which they possibly aren’t, but I have discovered that posts made, can of course be edited or deleted by the original poster, within a certain period.

I have also discovered that as a registered poster you can in fact post as another existing user, something I was astonished to discover was possible!

I tested this by posting a stupid “response” (as a well known troll on here), and, apart from a short period of the status being”awaiting approval”, the post was made!

So it’s possible some stuff you see posted may not have even have been the original poster!

I agree that there must be some attempt be admins to stop this sort of thing happening by changing the ability of an existing confirmed poster being able to post as another existing user. THAT is bonkers!

I highly recommend reading “The Strange Death of Dr David Kelly” by Norman Baker. Recommended it to many, few have the guts to confront what our oh so civilized government is capable of doing.
Norman Baker, 15yrs MP for Lewes, knows Westminster inside and out, painstakingly researched the level of corruption involved and how he came to the conclusion after actually having analysed all the evidence that Kelly was murdered and the British Gov has his hands in it even if they themselves didn’t do the deed. The 2003, 45min dossier disaster, the corruption from all echelons of the establishment, the inevitable lead up to Iraq war and the destruction of their livelihoods, culture and society.
Fast forward 17 years and you are watching yet another dossier moment in this country, only that this time it’s psychological and economic warfare against its own people for agendas most fail to understand as it’s too big and too scary.
If you cannot see the greater picture behind it, I highly recommend listening to Catherine Austin Fitts, Solari Report, former Assistant Secretary of Housing, who has been chasing the missing 21 trillion in the US gov… maybe then, you will understand why Schwab is mentioned… the dots connect, they always do, they do with the Kelly affair too.
The only question Baker doesn’t answer is – what did Bush Jr hold over puppy dog’s Blair’s head that made him jump through hoots to please his master…? My suggestion would be to look to Epstein and the dirt he and Maxwell had on politicians… but of course then I may be labeled a conspiracy theorist to which I say – “unlike you I have not surrendered my capacity for critical thinking and I follow the evidence wherever it leads”.

On a side note: friend inside the HSBC (high up) confirmed the HSBC is actively working on switching over to e-Euro. The flick of the switch as per order of the Central Banks is a matter of time UNLESS we throw a stick in their wheels. Because whether it’s “just the e-Euro and the e-GBp” or a “digital world currency”, the point is that many billionaires benefited beautifully from this crisis and the average man and woman has been thrown under the bus, and we are not really going to have a say in those e-currencies, are we…? Unless we put a stick in their wheels… that stick is waking up to the bigger picture. You are witnessing the greatest bank robbery against the ordinary decent human of all times and the best YOU have to offer is label people who call it out as “nutters”? Clearly you know fuck all about the financial system, derivatives bubble, non-backed currencies like ours…?
How about showing us the evidence the assumption of the digital world currency agenda are wrong (which is just one of many by the way)? Hard evidence I mean…? What is YOUR evidence other than that you cannot fathom a real ugly truth about our government and you feel the need to lash out because you are triggered by your own fear?

But this situation is bound to spark attempts at finding motivations. Conspiracies are just part of that.

I try to avoid discussions about motivations – simply because it gets in the way of the prime task of getting over the basic fallacies about Covid in terms of the hard data. It’s too easy to get side-tracked into fruitless arguments.

319850 ▶▶▶▶ George L, replying to Julian, 5, #987 of 2095 🔗

Julian.. there is no speculation its all out there in plain site but it does take a lot of research. The desire for total world control is nothing new if you study history. The initial plans for world government were incorporated in the plans for WW1 via the British Empire. A war by the way that was not wanted by Germany, but by a cabal including British Royalty, Rothschild, Alfred Milner and toadying politicians etc.

Skip a few decades and the world governments signed up to the UN Agenda 21 sustainable development goals at the Rio Earth summit in 1992. Those goals include depopulation, rewilding of large areas of the planet, abolition of private property, removal of people from the countryside, abolition of private vehicles etc et.

This initial summit was organised by a man called Maurice Strong (a Rockefeller cronie) He was also responsible for the founding of the IPCC and the consequent climate scam. This very same man called for the collapse of western nations, and said it was their cabal’s responsibility to bring this about. Strong was a member of The Club of Rome, and they actually wrote a book with their ideas in it called The First Global Revolution.

So there’s a start for you, and yes, by the way.. people like Gates and Schwab are just bit players. The real power never surfaces, and that’s held by the likes of the City of London Crown Agents, old aristocratic European families and their intertwined relationships with Royalty and International bankers.

One thing is absolutely true though.. those powers that I mentioned above want total world control over a much reduced populace..

Self-isolating means eating Christmas dinner in your bedroom – Dr Colm Henry https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40195872.html

Dr Colm Henry, Chief Clinical Officer with the HSE, said the 14-day isolation advice means that anyone who came to Ireland from Britain from December 11 onwards should self-isolate in their bedroom.
“Self-isolation means staying in your room in so far as possible, except for essential purposes,” he said.
You should stay in your room to ensure you are not the means of transmission of this more transmissible form of the virus within the house.”
Asked if it means eating Christmas dinner in their room – Dr Henry told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland: “yes, sadly it did mean that.”

(3 of 3)

That is why I sometimes think that the conspiracy nuts are actually being paid to spread their Gates/Schwab nonsense.

The idea may be to :

(1) discredit Toby Young
(2) deflect attention away from Johnson and his government
(3) to drive lockdown sceptics insane (they’re driving me mad!)

But I am mindful that when I do think this that I have no evidence, no proof of this.

And despite the fact that these people are impossible to reason with, it may just be that they genuinely believe that Schwab (who I have no fondness or regard for) is some sort of latter day Bond villain and that it is “all planned” by him and people like Gates and Soros despite the fact that they have no evidence for their beliefs.

So I don’t indulge my own paranoid thoughts when they arise. I dismiss them.

I don’t know the future. I don’t know what other people are thinking and I don’t know their motivations.

I disagree with what seem to me like the more exotic theories, but I don’t think it’s unfair to doubt their sincerity or imply they have ulterior motives – some may, but I think both “sides” should assume the other “side” is sincere unless proved otherwise definitively.
I am torn – I believe in freedom of speech and robust debate, and these are important issues, but maybe they are taking too much of our energy and sanity, both of which are in short supply.

Here is a brief account of my surreal experience with our local library: having reserved 3 books-still allowed,although obligatory quarantining delays delivery-I received a message today advising that the books were now ready for collection.

Straightfoward,one might have assumed; not so. Since The Sturgeonator saw fit to confine us in Tier 4, the council has removed library opening hours from the website, although would be patrons are advised to check the hours on said website as Tier 4 now in operation.

I phoned the library,no answer; rang the council helpline: no information available, even though the council stipulates the permitted opening hours; went round to library-closed with obsolete opening hours notice on front window.

You couldn’t make this up! I have no idea whether,as assured by the council website,that I will be able to collect the books before 1pm tomorrow, after which time the library will close for another 3 weeks,while The Sturgeonator considers options for future punishment.

This lot couldn’t run a charity stall. Utterly, utterly bonkers, inefficient and disorganised.

Isn’t it curious how in times on global communication each dear leader (and non elected maniac) chirrup on about the same three words. Does each of these dear leaders mean the same thing with these ambiguous/meaningless jargon words?

Is Building Back the same in Canada as France? Is Better the same for the Maldives as for China. Does Merkel (mess weg) mean the same thing for the people of Germany as Biden does in America?

So many questions over so few words. Why oh why are they so meaningless yet popular to spout?

The Greens/Extinction Rebellion are the biggest liars on the planet. Not a pip from them about the scourge of discarded face masks polluting the oceans.

Apart from perhaps China, the world’s biggest polluter (apparently) is the United States military. Seeing a photo opportunity of Greta Thunberg shaking hands with Obama (who’s droned multiple countries during his presidency) was all I needed to realise Extinction Rebellion is disingenuous.

Right here goes, some green bollocks factoids

It will take the Tesla battery factory 500 years to make enough batteries to store just one day’s worth of Americas electricity use
Currently alternative energy sources supply just 3% of the world energy
Windmills and batteries and solar panels are all built from non-renewable materials

A single EV battery weighs about half a ton, making one requires digging up 250 tons of earth somewhere on the planet.
Building a single 100MW wind farm to power 75000 homes requires 3000 tons of Iron ore, 50000tons of Concreate, and 900 tons of plastic. For a 100MW solar farm would need 150% more of these materials.

Rare earth metals, the world will need 200 to 2000% increase in mining for elements such as cobalt, lithium, copper, iridium, and dysprosium. Massive new mining operations all over the world will be needed. Mostly in remote wilderness areas. The mining itself requires massive amounts of conventional energy as do the refinery and manufacture processes.

These products have a life of about 20 years or less.

The international renewable energy agency calculates that by 2050 the disposal of worn out solar panels will constitute double the tonnage of all of the worlds plastic waste. Wind mills and batteries will add even more non renewable junk into the environment.

Although they announce them as daily deaths e.g.691 yesterday, the date of the deaths vary. The chart shows the deaths by date of death which gives a balanced picture. As you can see for yesterday, the orange bars represent the deaths announced yesterday.

An important pair of diagrams – note the weekend effect on the reporting date graph ( fewer deaths reported on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays) and the catch up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Of course mainstream journalists do not seem to notice or care

To show how announced deaths are spread out – Today’s announced deaths in English Hospitals were 416 comprising
55 deaths on 22 Dec
190 deaths on 21st Dec
64 Deaths on 20 Dec
37 Deaths on 19th Dec
32 Deaths on 18th Dec
12 Deaths on 17th Dec
and 26 Deaths spread out on various dates up until 19th of April

Daily deaths in English hospitals have been averaging at about 280 since mid November – The English Hospital data is available here – https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-daily-deaths/ and is updated daily about 2 pm

At the risk of being regarded a “nutter”, “bot” or “troll” – as I have posted most of the following in a reply to another post by “John P” earlier – I would like something done by Site Admins about the following:

I have not had a proper, definitive answer as to what had happened, on here.

People here have said posts are not deleted by Mods or Admins, which they possibly aren’t, but I have discovered that posts made, can of course be edited or deleted by the original poster, within a certain period.

I have also discovered that as a registered poster you can in fact post as another existing user, something I was astonished to discover was even possible!

I tested this by posting a stupid “response” (as a well known troll on here), and, apart from a short period of the status being ”awaiting approval”, the post was made!

So, it’s possible some stuff you see posted here may not have even been made by the original poster!

Some attempt must be made please, by Admins to stop this sort of thing happening by changing the ability of an existing confirmed poster being able to post as another existing user. If this is not addressed it will at some point undermine the credibility of the comments section!

THAT is bonkers!

319823 ▶▶ Ben, replying to dhid, 5, #1088 of 2095 🔗

I posted a screenshot from the ‘Ernst Wolff #Corona – The Collapse of the System’ video from YouTube yesterday, which disappeared

319837 ▶▶▶ dhid, replying to Ben, 4, #1089 of 2095 🔗

True – but being able to post as another user (very easily I discovered) is ridiculous and likely to cause problems for the site.

319865 ▶▶ Mabel Cow, replying to dhid, 3, #1090 of 2095 🔗

FYI, by my reckoning just under 4% of posts end up being deleted.

I have come to that conclusion by comparing the comment id (a monotonically-increasing integer) to the actual number of comments that I have scraped from this website whilst building Panscepticon .

For example, as at 13:36 today my database contained 307,703 comments, whereas the last comment id was 319,644. From this I conclude that 11,941 posts have been removed (or never published) since this site went live.

I presume the majority of the missing posts were spam, but I don’t have any inside information one way or the other.

@dhid: If you can find your masquerading post on Panscepticon, I can see if I can find a way to detect such tomfoolery in future.

319883 ▶▶▶ dhid, replying to Mabel Cow, #1091 of 2095 🔗

OK – thanks.

What concerns me most is the ability to post as another verified user which I believe happened the other day, as the post id numbers of the (insulting) posts “I” had made were some time later than the real posts above then which were me.

Obviously the ability to edit or delete by the poster is needed for mistakes etc, but it does mean that if others posts are made as someone else (something I find extraordinary that it’s possible) can lead, as it did the other day to some serious misunderstanding!

319893 ▶▶▶▶ dhid, replying to dhid, #1092 of 2095 🔗

This is a post by Mabel Cow, masquerading as dhid.

319983 ▶▶▶▶▶ Mabel Cow, replying to dhid, 3, #1093 of 2095 🔗

It would seem that post masquerading is definitely a thing (see my post above: from me, but labelled with dhid’s name).

Here’s an example of a post from 2020-12-21 that was allegedly written by dhid but quite obviously wasn’t.

The underlying user id attached the masquerading post correlates with the id for the JohnB account. I don’t know whether this is a bug in the wpDiscuz software or actual malfeasance.

Excellent work by our resident IT expert Mabel Cow and by dhid for spotting it in the first place. The administrators need to fix this masquerading issue quickly, otherwise the enemy will start to take advantage of it to bugger up the site, as the technical expression has it.

Yes I’m glad I figured what had happened to “my” posts and having Mabel Cow respond and confirming it by test – I was starting to think I was going mad!

Also thanks that user Mark confirmed his previous experience with a link elsewhere in thread.

319894 ▶▶ GiftWrappedKittyCat, replying to dhid, 1, #1103 of 2095 🔗

It’s probably best if you contact the site’s admin by email as they probably don’t read all the comments. There is a link to the email address above the line.

319948 ▶▶▶ dhid, replying to GiftWrappedKittyCat, #1104 of 2095 🔗

Agreed and thanks – I can’t find a verifiable address for site admin though.

Given this simple, and I would have thought fairly obvious (and dangerous) “loophole”, it does make me a little worried if they will be able to fix it!

I’ve done system development for software and intranet sites where we made security issues like that a top priority. Even more important on a publicly accessible net site like this, especially given the subject.

I think some of us at least have been aware of this for a while and in general it hasn’t been abused

It’s not ideal, for sure.

320102 ▶▶▶▶▶ dhid, replying to Julian, #1106 of 2095 🔗

Hi Julian,

I guess accidental “duplication” is one thing, but what I have highlighted was masquerading by another user with mall-intent, which was being used, which made me look like a scumbag, which I don’t think I am, too much, anyway!

As I expressed at the time, I had mentioned a certain numbered organisation of verifiable existence, (which contains the number two a couple of times!) which might have been the trigger – I don’t know.

320113 ▶▶▶▶▶▶ Mark, replying to dhid, #1107 of 2095 🔗

I discussed the issue at some length with the admin rms who basically confirmed that there seems to be no fix within the software for this.

https://forums.lockdownsceptics.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=562

Frankly I was as amazed as you are that the software does not automatically require unique posting (and display) names. After giving it some thought I presume it is because the site uses a blog comment system designed for occasional comments beneath separate blog posts, not for sustaining long term discussions and IDs.

Frankly I don’t recall ever using a forum that allowed duplicate posting names in this way – the potential for confusion and outright abuse is obvious, but it’s a few years since I was particularly active, so perhaps it’s more common now.

320146 ▶▶▶▶▶▶▶ dhid, replying to Mark, #1108 of 2095 🔗

There was a third Mark though who persisted in posting under the duplicate ID for a while even after it was pointed out to him.

320141 ▶▶▶▶▶▶ dhid, replying to Mark, #1112 of 2095 🔗

Presumably that was a genuine person, but who didn’t want to give up the ID?

If no fix is possible that is very worrying – I find it extraordinary that anyone developing software could not have realised that it was likely to be a serious problem!

Perhaps “Prof.” F£rguss0n was involved…….Lol!

320171 ▶▶▶▶▶▶▶ Mark, replying to dhid, #1113 of 2095 🔗

I think it was – just a bit inconsiderate and unresponsive.

My fault in a way for choosing a common posting name back when I started commenting here, but if I’d given it any thought at the time I would just have assumed duplicates would be prevented by the system anyway.

320193 ▶▶▶▶▶▶▶▶ dhid, replying to Mark, #1114 of 2095 🔗

DARPA’s Early Investment in COVID-19 Antibody Identification Producing Timely Results

DARPA’s Pandemic Prevention Platform (P3) program, launched in 2017, focuses on rapid discovery, characterization, production, testing, and delivery of efficacious DNA- and RNA-encoded medical countermeasures against infectious disease. This foundational technology pioneered by DARPA under the Autonomous Diagnostics to Enable Prevention and Therapeutics (ADEPT) program provides the body with instructions on how to immediately begin producing protective antibodies against a given threat. Just two years into a four-year program, P3 has performers at AbCellera Biologics, AstraZeneca, Duke University, and Vanderbilt University, all of whom have been able to quickly pivot to rapidly identify antibodies for COVID-19 in less than 90-days. This process traditionally takes several years to complete.

So US military been financing how to do RNA vaccines for a few years now:

Hopefully a helpful tip. It is often worth speaking with the organisation information officers before placing a FOI. Part of their job is to ensure FOI are submitted in the correct way, that is, they are public services who happen to be employed by the council/NHS etc. Speaking to them about the question you want to ask can guide the question to a more effective wording and also cut out rejections. If you go through all of that and still get a fob off you know there is rotten corruption at nhs/council/gov officer level.

Anybody not exempt from leaving their home will face an instant £1000 fine or 1 year imprisonment. Anybody who refuses to comply will be shoot dead. Those already not vaccinated have a further 3 weeks to do so, failure to comply will result in you being taken to an isolation centre where not only will you be given the vaccine but you will also be fined £3000.

From change.org

This Christmas, thousands of NHS staff will be working on the frontline. Some of them are having to pay for parking at the hospital they work at. Petition starter Daren is calling on the Government to support NHS staff by abolishing car parking fees for them across the UK. So far hundreds of thousands of people have signed his petition – will you support frontline workers this Christmas by signing?

Several points to make here.

NHS staff work every Christmas, as far as I’m aware, and have managed to pay for their own parking up to now.
Lots of other people work at Christmas too, and are not subject to such ridiculous hero worship.
They have guaranteed jobs and income, unlike millions of other people, so why do they need extra help?
NO I BL**DY WELL WON’T!!

Have no sympathy, the NHS is not fit for purpose . My son was refused treatment at one hospital 2 weeks ago and another hospital gave him a food supplement to keep him going for a week. I’m not sure what was supposed to happen at the end of that week. Well yesterday he collapsed, malnourished, exhausted and dehydrated. We told them this would happen by Christmas if he was not treated. This could all have been avoided. So now he’s in over Christmas because people in two hospitals couldn’t do their job properly. And, icing on the cake, they’d given him an outpatients appointment in mid January. When clearly he’d be dead by then.

Hancock now says there are two cases of another new variant in the UK.
Both are contacts of cases who have travelled from South Africa.
“We are incredibly grateful to the South African government for their science,” he says.
“This virus is yet more transmissible and appears to have mutated further than the new virus.”
He says the UK is quarantining new cases, and placing restrictions on travel from South Africa.
Anyone who has been in South Africa in the past fortnight and anyone who is a close contact of someone who has been in South Africa in the last fortnight must quarantine immediately, he says.

Found this dating back to march 2020, a testimony from a RAND Corporation to the US House of Representatives on the impact Coronavirus might have on smalls and medium size businesses in China and the supply chain:

https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/testimonies/CT500/CT524/RAND_CT524.pdf

A good quote is:

The most recent data show that COVID-19 is likely to be more contagious but less likely to cause severe clinical symptoms and deaths than SARS and MERS.

Recommendations:

Social distancing-based public health interventions, such as mass quarantines, extensive travel bans, and transportation system disruption, can shock the economy and shrink the market demand in the service sectors that are critical for many SMEs that rely on visits by regular customers. When considering using these interventions, the cost on SMEs should be considered.

One thing that was certainly NOT done and still hasn’t been done properly, that document our idiots put together recently was a complete joke.

An this:

Risk communication and coordination are important: Both the public and the health care sector will need well-planned, persistent, and targeted risk communication to help prevent the hysteria associated with an acute outbreak.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the pro-lockdown brigade will only change their mind when they are directly and severely effected i.e. not just the inconvenience of wearing a mask and their kids being home more, but seriously impacted i.e. they or a loved one: needs cancer treatment or dies from something treatable, they lose their job and can’t get another, they can’t pay the mortgage etc.

It’s inconvenient that their kids are at home more and for many people no longer having to commute is actually a blessing. It’s only when they really feel the impact on them and their livelihoods and/or health that this will change.

And Sunak has kicked that into the long grass with furlough extended til April.

319984 ▶▶▶ Andrew K, replying to Sceptic in Oxford, 8, #1182 of 2095 🔗

Yep the effects of unemployment has yet to be felt by many. Suddenly when car sales drop, or people no longer buying insurance or choosing food over internet. Then all these people working from home thinking they are safe may well find they’re out of a job. No doubt they will blame the non facemask wearers and unemployed beach goers for their fate.

While the number of cases attributable to the old variant is holding steady or tailing off in some areas, Dr Harries says there has been a very sharp rise in cases of the new variant.
This is translating into rising pressures on hospitals, she says.

Sorry to hear about the nastiness. Many of us enjoy reading your posts and updates. You have been on the front line on a lot of battles. I’m T4. I thought cafes were opem for takeaway, which is not much consolation. I expect some people order less if they don’t have anywhere to sit and enjoy it.

At work yesterday, I was allowed to sit down in the seating area of the canteen and enjoy my lunch. I dont know why that was allowed, but simple pleasures. Then I felt silly for being grateful for being allowed to do it.
Odd experience sitting alone in a canteen with a hundred or so chairs.

Enjoy your posts. Hope you can keep the shop open. We would all give you lots of business if we could.

Photographer Anthony Carbajal has advanced ALS (otherwise known as motor neurone disease or Lou Gherigs disease). During his illness he lost use of all his limbs and most of his body, and he lost his wife. Yet he maintained a positive outlook and continued to take wonderful pictures for as long as he could. Thank goodness I didn’t get that long covid he said. You can get a bit tired with that. Must be awful.

Jesus was tortured, mocked, and beaten and Roman soldiers place a crown of thorns on his head. He likely was bleeding profusely before even being nailed to the cross. Forgive them father he said, not only do they not know what they have done. But it could be worse. Could have got covid. He said. Always look on the bright side of life he added.

I was talking to god earlier. He wish he had thought of this vaccination thing. 4.5 billion years old our planet. Life has existed on it for about 3.5 billion years. Modern humans for about 200,000 years. Some 7 billion people on the planet. Africa’s population has trebled since LiveAid. The first vaccine was developed 220 years ago. God feels he really dropped a ball. He just came up with this amazing immune system when all he really needed to do was create Bill and Melinda Gates.

I said.. cheer up God. Your amazing engineering has cured us creatures of lots of plagues. Don’t get me started he said. I wasted all that time punishing the pharoe with frogs and locusts and boils. I could just have given them covid. No symptoms or a cough would have shown ’em. Released those Israelites he said. Oooooo ooo the Israelites I said.

This is all about creating demand for the vaccine. The plan is to vaccinate millions per week from January with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, which is going to be approved by the MHRA next week. It’s not an mRNA type, so there are no supply chain limitations as with the Pfizer one.

I can foresee the case numbers being deliberately reduced during this critical vaccine rollout phase to give the impression that it is working. Perhaps by a reduction in PCR test cycles or extensively using the LFT instead.

Then, once enough people have had at least one shot, and can be assimilated into the immunity passport programme, the door will be slammed shut for good. Those who refuse will be excluded from society in perpetuity.

When Johnson said we will be living in a “very different world” by Easter I take this very seriously indeed. How I would love to be proven wrong, but I’m afraid the catastrophic descent of our society in 2020 has made me more cynical than ever.

I have no problem with being criticised for being a conspiracy theorist. The burden of proof is on my side, always. I have remained courteous in all my exchanges on here regardless of what has been said. Also, I can understand why these conversations have occasionally degenerated into vitriolic attacks. People are losing it, we are all under a great deal of psychological pressure and need to let off steam somehow.

320226 ▶▶▶▶▶ Nick Rose, replying to Richard O, 2, #1258 of 2095 🔗

Cynicism and scepticism are two different things. I’d like to see your theory proven wrong too – for the same reasons I expect you hope for also, this isn’t a personal attack – but I do question its strategic aim. This is the major problem I have with the “internationalist” conspiracy. It makes no strategic sense.

320216 ▶▶▶▶ Nick Rose, replying to Bugle, 3, #1259 of 2095 🔗

You don’t need to accept any conspiracy theory to refuse the vaccine.

320407 ▶▶▶▶▶ Bugle, replying to Nick Rose, #1260 of 2095 🔗

No, but. If we’re dealing with mere incompetence, things will eventually return to normal. If we’re dealing with an agenda, things may never return to normal.

As I’ve said before, if the public realised they were being done a deliberate injury, they would rebel. The propaganda agencies are vigorously suppressing any such idea. Why? Given that the Reset, UBI, CCCP-style social credit, censorship and voter fraud have been ‘around’ for a while now, there are strong reasons to suspect a conspiracy.

What you say is true: I will refuse the vaccine on a number of grounds which do not involve a conspiracy. 1. The use of foetal cell line material. 2. Opposition to animal experiments. 3. Possible adverse reaction and 4. Little probable difference – in terms of symptoms and immunity – between accepting the vaccine or contracting the disease.

I will also refuse it for ‘conspiracy’ reasons. Gates has a bad reputation in Africa and India. I am suspicious of big Pharma. The Pfizer vaccine amounts to genetic engineering. It contains nano-particles. It may be linked to a digital ID system, which may be linked to accessing finance and society.

You are free to disagree of course. But I am also free to express my opinion.

Why don’t they just put everyone in tier 4? Two reasons. Firstly something akin to a national lockdown will bring more pressure for a parliamentary vote and secondly having a complex and dynamic regional system helps give the impression they are in control and using sophisticated science beyond the capabilities of the proles to understand.

FAQ
Vaccines
Although we’re not directly involved in developing or regulating the use of vaccines, we understand that doctors and their patients will likely have questions about the rollout of new coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines, and how this will impact them.
We answer some of those frequently asked questions below.
My patients are asking when they can be vaccinated against COVID-19, what can I tell them?The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the independent regulator responsible for making sure medicines, devices and vaccines work and are safe for use. For a vaccine to be approved for use in the UK, the MHRA has said that robust standards of quality, safety, and effectiveness must be met.
As each vaccine is approved, it will be rolled out in phases.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has published updated advice on the groups who should be prioritised for vaccination . This states that residents in care homes, care home workers, those aged 80 years and over, and health and social care workers are expected to be amongst the first to receive the vaccine.
As a doctor, should I be vaccinated against COVID-19?In Good medical practice we say at paragraph 29 that doctors should be immunised against common serious communicable diseases , unless this is contraindicated.
While there is no absolute duty to be vaccinated against any particular disease, there is a potential risk of inadvertently spreading coronavirus to vulnerable patients. This weighs in favour of doctors being vaccinated unless there are good reasons why it isn’t appropriate in your individual circumstances.
We recognise that you may need to take account of any underlying health conditions. In some cases, there may be other appropriate options for managing any risk to patients and colleagues.
If you have good reason not to be vaccinated, you need to be confident that there are measures in place where you work to manage any risk of transmission to patients. You will need to take appropriate steps to reduce risks and prioritise patient safety.
What information is available about the safety of the vaccine?For a vaccine to be approved for use in the UK, the MHRA has said that robust standards of quality, safety, and effectiveness must be met.
Public Health England has published clinical guidance on the vaccine rollout. We expect the health services in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will produce similar information.
This information will help doctors to give clear, accurate and up-to-date information to their patients so they can make informed decisions about vaccination. Our Decision making and consent guidance will support you to have these conversations with patients.
How will doctors seek patient consent for the vaccine?Doctors must be satisfied they have consent or other valid authority before they provide treatment to patients ( paragraph 17 in Good medical practice ). Our expectations are the same for doctors before they administer vaccines.
As part of this process, registered healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and many other professionals, will be responsible for speaking with patients to find out about allergies, their medical history and any contraindications.
We also expect the health services across the four countries of the UK to provide guidance on how consent should be recorded. This will include information about whether healthcare professionals should use a standard consent form.
In all cases, doctors should familiarise themselves with our Decision making and consent guidance , in particular the seven principles and paragraphs 21-26 on discussing benefits and harms and uncertainties with their patients.
For adult patients who lack capacity, paragraphs 87-93 of our Decision making and consent guidance explains the ethical basis and process for treatment decisions. It also covers the differences that apply in Scotland.

Deaths within 28 days of positive test by date of death shows a very different picture to the deaths within 28 days of positive test by date reported.

Deaths by date of death – each death is assigned to the date that the person died irrespective of how long it took for the death to be reported. Previously reported data are therefore continually updated
Deaths by date reported – each death is assigned to the date when it was first included in the published totals.

‘Unherd’ interviews conducted by Freddy Sayers have been very informative over the last few months, so I was massively disappointed in his ‘on the one hand and on the other’ article about John Giesecke v. Ferguson. As if the two were opposite sides of a scientific debate.

All this reminds me very much of MSM media’s reaction to austerity and the Work Capability Test and PIP Assessment. Very sick and disabled people were told they were fit to work if they could press a button or walk a few steps. The advice of their doctors and consultants were ignored and sick and disabled people went hungry and were left destitute I personally know a very sick lady who lost her home as result. The BMA estimated over 100,000 died as a result of austerity. (where was the outrage then?) The MSM (apart from occasional articles in the Guardian and Daily Mirror) never said a word and the victims portrayed as liars, cheats and a burden on society.

The pandemic has caused a temporary halt to the flawed assessments carried out by unqualified people and wildly inaccurate but the sick and disabled are terrified they will be scapegoats again once the Government starts trying to pay the covid bill.

Media manipulation and lies and unqualified people carrying out tests, sheer incompetence and complete indifference to the suffering caused is sadly nothing new. I found many people refused to believe the Government were cruel and incompetent then just as we do now.

I’ve learned never trust the Government or mainstream media. This was a shock to me when I first became aware about 12 years ago and I realised I didn’t live in a fair and just country. Sadly their covid response is just as corrupt as their treatment of the vulnerable.

Sturgeon’s Mask-gate:

In a statement, Ms [Miss] Sturgeon said she had “briefly” removed her face mask while attending a wake, calling it a “stupid mistake”.

Addressing MSPs at Holyrood, the first minister said she wanted to express “how sorry I am for my breach of rules that I ask all of us to follow [that someone managed to photograph me]”.

Ms [Miss] Sturgeon said: “I want to be clear that regardless of the circumstances, I was in the wrong. There are no excuses, [even though masks are useless, but they help to keep you proles under control, and dehumanise you, and that can only be good].

“These rules do [not] apply to me, just as they do to everyone else, and the rules really matter [however stupid they might be].

“I am kicking myself very hard – possibly harder than my worst critic ever could – but more importantly I’ll be making sure I don’t drop my guard again [and so make sure those rogue elements of the normally compliant MSM don’t catch me].”

My current red line was thinking this new killer virus was actually a dangerous thing. After watching all the hysteria about Ebola and Zika, I thought that there was no way this crazy over reaction to a virus could take hold here. Or in Europe and the USA.

It was obvious to me that it was just a virus that really posed very little risk to anybody in comparison to all the other risky stuff people do all the time. I didn’t think the scary bullshit would catch on. Especially in sensible old UKofA.

After “the data” came out of Italy I was certain that it didn’t poses that much of a risk to all but the old, the very unwell and a few unlucky people here and there.

I watched in horror as the terrible story started to unfold.

I think my red line was drawn years ago anyway, we are way past that.

Full lockdown January. Mass testing and vaccination programme Jan-March. Seasonal respiratory virus goes away March onwards. Government claims victory of policy. It’s all so fucking predictable.

320186 ▶▶ Ben, replying to Achilles, 10, #1435 of 2095 🔗

It’s the vaccine passports I’m afraid of. Tech shareholders want to see a return on their investment. The vaccines will never stop, so I predict the virus will never go away too.. And so it continues indefinitely

I tend to agree with Achilles – I don’t see them maintaining it forever, at least not at the same pitch. This is orchestrated but like music they need to alternate the tones a bit because the constant jackhammer of lockdown might eventually trigger rebellions.

Yes, they can keep it going for years, just test lots of people and misdiagnose deaths. If people haven’t caught on yet they probably never will. In time the desired strange behaviour will become the social norm and they can wind down the operation.

320220 ▶▶ Cranmer, replying to Achilles, 6, #1441 of 2095 🔗

I actually would not mind if that happens. I’m becoming more and more convinced that the goal is permanent lockdowns, destruction of all small businesses and hospitality/sports/churches etc, in fact anywhere where people can freely meet.

I have no doubt, as governments tighten the screw and life becomes less and less tolerable, that violence, civil unrest or even revolutions may happen. I wish it was not the case, but humans can only take so much

They want civil unrest, tyrannical governments such as Johnsons regime can then justify harsher measures such as military martial law and use it as an excuse to clamp down hard on any dissenters. The TSG in London certainly don’t look like the police, they are military in all but name.

Look at the way the intelligence services are using propaganda to turn the population against each other, it really is disgraceful this is happening with complete political support. They have full control of the narrative via the BBC and other state propaganda channels.

Back in the day I used to play a table-top role playing game called Paranoia.

“Paranoia is a humorous role-playing game set in a dystopian future similar to Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, Logan’s Run, and THX 1138; however, the tone of the game is rife with black humor, frequently tongue-in-cheek rather than dark and heavy. Most of the game’s humor is derived from the players’ (usually futile) attempts to complete their assignment while simultaneously adhering to The Computer’s arbitrary, contradictory and often nonsensical security directives.”

It was great fun because, you know, it could never happen. Well it just has. I don’t know how Hancock kept a straight face as he introduced yet another “variant”. Actually, he didn’t. He was smirking away when asked when this would be over, because never, because he seems to love the power and comes over as a complete sociopath.

It’s depressing to think that so many people are still volunteering to be tested. Although I suspect a large percentage of those are being done in hospitals and care homes.

I got an unsolicited text from my GP surgery yesterday (must be open after all) telling me there were 44 cases in the area. It’s interesting when the testing centre has been open once in the past 3 months and the GPs won’t see anyone with symptoms.

Noticed something for the first time today, in the Post Office. There was a big poster about social distancing, masks, using hand jizz etc. But not a single mention of Covid nor Corona.

Thank Goodness the Christmas greetings will stop soon. I’ve had a virtue-signalling round robin letter today about virtual choirs, enjoying new activities in lockdown and doing x y and z when “allowed” to followed by a text with a photo of mask-wearing dogs! My overseas friends have watched the news and are anxiously begging me to “stay safe”. They must think the UK the most dangerous place on earth from news bulletins. Still no clue if I’m going anywhere for Christmas as my friend’s husband is a covid hysteric who plans to eat out of doors and won’t live with his wife. He was telling her off on Sunday for having both me and another mask exempt lady in her car and no open windows. He was wrong as I did have the window open.

He really does deliver a truly vomit inducing performance, he did his ‘tiny tears’ act when he talked in heart wrenching terms about all the people who are dying everyday of this terrible disease. This wringing out the death figures is really the lowest form of propaganda, does he really think that all these people died just of Covid and but for Covid would be alive today, giving the country the lowest death rate for many years?
This disgraceful misrepresentation of deaths is insulting and disrespectful to the people who died and their relatives and it is taken in, hook. line and sinker by the Covid zealots as justification for lockdowns.

320400 ▶▶▶ James007, replying to Steve Martindale, 4, #1490 of 2095 🔗

I’m no longer afraid. Even my psychologist said this to me a few days ago.

A bit like what happened during the Blitz. Unfortunately the majority of the population were stoic then and are certainly not now. I am disappointed at their cowardice (to say the least!), most of these feckers deserve to have the harshest lockdowns possible.
