This week in the UK we witnessed a revision of the tiered lockdown rules and it is not pleasant. It’s time to review the facts.  I have spent the past nine months scrupulously examining the facts; I am a committed unbeliever.  I do not wear the mask of allegiance marked out by a lanyard around the neck.  Here, in UK, our government propaganda continues without remission, only complete divorce from the outside world can afford protection.  This is brain-washing on a global scale.  The incremental take-over of advertising slots by the government’s ‘nudge unit‘ is complete.  Even adverts by the usual corporates and the big supermarkets are made nauseous by mealy-mouthed assurances of “safe” shopping.

Why this campaign of terror, I ask?  Why, in the midst of a genuine pandemic, would anyone need to be reminded unceasingly that death is dogging their footsteps?   The short answer is, they wouldn’t.  In a genuine pandemic, this constant mental battering would be superfluous which gives the lie to this crazy situation.

Our government has bought the mass media lock, stock and barrel, at vast expense, with the sole purpose it seems, of hammering home a message of impending doom.  Instead of calming our fears with facts and rational arguments, they have seen fit to flood the airwaves with slogans calculated to maintain panic; with disingenuous appeals to the emotions; with out-of-context death counts, wilful obfuscation of the difference between cases and infections, a fraudulent PCR test https://www.globalresearch.ca/coronavirus-scandal and graphs and computer models carefully selected to emphasise the worst possible eventualities.

Not content to cow us into submission with a constant diet of skewed and incomplete information, they have unleashed the army’s 77 Brigade to troll social media exchanges and snuff out any lingering dissent – described as, “misinformation“.  The aim can only be to induce maximum public terror in the face of a virus which, without all this deceptive propaganda, would hardly have been noticed by the population at large.

Why are they doing this?  Surely, by now, they must be aware that increasing numbers of highly esteemed and experienced scientists contest policies which are killing vastly more people than they are saving, and which will go on killing well into the future!   One question is both fundamental and easily answered:  are excess mortality figures for this year significantly above average?  Only a huge and sustained divergence from the norm would indicate the presence of a new disease deadly enough to justify the extraordinary measures the government have taken.

The EuroMOMO charts for the UK show no such anomaly.  In Northern Ireland there has never been any substantial increase in deaths overall.  In Wales, too, mortality has hardly diverged from the normal range.  Scotland had a well-above-average peak in the spring, but since then has remained almost entirely within the bounds of normality.  Even populous England, despite a death rate which soared sharply to a great height in March before falling equally sharply back by the middle of June, has spent most of the year chugging along below the “substantial increase” line, with the usual increase as winter approaches.

Another chart at Covid-19 in Proportion?  shows levels of mortality in 2019/2020 very similar to those suffered in 1999/2000.  So it’s not the Black Death, then, nor even the 1918 influenza. Yet now we are being told that only mass vaccination against this fairly run-of-the-mill virus will allow us to return to any semblance of normal life.

By special dispensation, millions of doses of insufficiently tested vaccine are already in the pipeline, with a guarantee of no come-back for Big Pharma or for doctors turning a blind eye to the precept “First to do no harm”, should those treated be hit with damaging repercussions on their health.  I am told that I should accept the suspect panacea regardless, in order to beat “this dreadful virus: “it’s quite safe – honest, you’ve got my word for it”, says the government mouthpiece, Matt Hancock.  Yet, side-effects apart, there is no assurance that the Pfizer vaccine, received with jubilation on 8th December by its first grateful recipient, will be effective in preventing either the disease or its transmission. Even if it does turn out to offer initial protection, this may last for as little as three months, so presumably regular repeat injections will be required.

Are the young and healthy facing a lifetime of booster shots against a disease that is dangerous almost exclusively to the old and sick?  If this isn’t crazy enough, we are being told that, even while being turned into human pin-cushions, we will probably need to go on wearing masks and holding our friends and family at arm’s length well into the future: a future of health passports and routine mass surveillance if we wish to travel on public transport or generally engage in life beyond our doorstep.

Sometimes I think it would be better to be one of the masked zombies.  Trusting, obedient, they live in a world which, though threatening, they understand and accept.  It is real to them.  They know, unquestioningly, that a dreadful plague has been visited upon us, a plague which threatens to wipe out the species: and they know that if they wear their masks faithfully, wash their hands a thousand times a day and steer clear of other human beings, they will be doing their bit to save the nation, and, eventually, be granted the supreme unction of a vaccine; after which, they believe, everything will go back to normal when the nice, compassionate government promises us all a Universal Basic Income?

But for those of us guided by rational thought and the evidence, we know that we are at no more risk from Covid-19 this year than we were in previous years from one of the more aggressive strains of influenza; but as soon as we venture into the outside world, everything contradicts our inner reality: and though we may not participate actively, we are condemned to acquiesce silently in the grand illusion being played out all around us, under the direction of our government.

If it were ever possible to put the enormities which have taken place since last March down to mere blundering then now, it is not possible.  The argument that the government has simply blundered, and is now trying to save face by digging itself in deeper does not wash.  Neither does the argument that “we are saving the NHS” which has regularly survived winter flu seasons with beds lined up in corridors and staff rushed off their feet.

It was obvious from the start to anyone with a basic education, who bothered to check the facts that closing down the economy would be more damaging to life and limb than any virus.  Even granting an initial surge of panic when faced with hysterical predictions from the Imperial College, Neil Ferguson’s fortune-telling team, it would have been possible to withdraw in fairly good order after the first lockdown, when many scientists were already saying that the danger had been exaggerated, that the virus was now endemic, and widespread natural immunity was in sight.

Why do the government insist on sticking to the advice of SAGE, and continuing to give credence to the serially failed speculations of Neil Ferguson, rather than attending to the more balanced suggestions offered by Carl Heneghan and Sunetra Gupta?  One by one, the small businesses which survived the first onslaught are giving up the ghost, and it seems that our rulers will not rest until every last man, woman and child in Britain has been thrown into the linked arms of corporate and state dependency.

As countries throughout the world commit consensual suicide to a rousing chorus of “Build Back Better!” what makes more sense?  I shake my head in puzzlement, that so many nations, with one accord, should not only have made exactly the same mistakes earlier this year, but are now insisting, in unison, on entrenching the evils that have been unleashed?

Or should we contemplate the possibility that a network of powerful supranational agencies – billionaires, banks, corporations, NGOs  –   have for some time been collaborating to direct the course of world events through place-men and beneficiaries in local and national governments and their attendant bureaucracies, and that “the novel coronavirus” is being used to achieve the final push into an era of artfully camouflaged “global governance”.

This is an era where policies devised by centralised, unelected committees are handed down to elected heads of state in the shells of what were once independent nations, and passed on by them to regional mayors and administrators for implementation and enforcement.

And why is this all happening – because 2020 was GloboCap Year Zero? The year when the global ruling classes did away with the illusion of democracy and reminded everyone who is actually in charge and exactly what happens when anyone challenges them. GloboCap is not insane, however. They know exactly what they are doing, which is teaching us a lesson, a lesson about power; a lesson about who has it and who doesn’t.  For students of history it’s a familiar lesson, a standard in the repertoire of empires, not to mention the repertoire of penal institutions.  https://consentfactory.org/2020/12/16/year-zero/

If COVID 19 ever was a population level threat, it isn’t the most pressing any longer. We, the people, are under attack by our own States. All the necessary components of a fascist technocracy are rapidly being assembled.  Make no mistake, in the hybrid information war, we are the enemy; there is a Silent War going on against which we must pushback like we have never done before.  https://off-guardian.org/2020/09/22/covid-world-resist/

This Wednesday has seen more draconian tier 3 measures being imposed in London under the dubious precedent of a ‘new mutated version’ of the virus.  “Business leaders have warned that thousands of jobs are at risk because of the government’s “illogical” decision to close pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels across London in response to surging coronavirus cases.

In a move described as “another nail in the coffin” by the pubs trade body, at least 15,489 venues in the capital, as well as parts of Essex and Hertfordshire, will be moved into tier 3 from Wednesday.  They will join a list of 35,742 that are already effectively closed in areas such as Greater Manchester, Kent, the east Midlands and parts of Yorkshire. The change means more than 53% of English hospitality venues will be unable to offer anything except takeaway and delivery.”  https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/14/london-move-to-tier-3

Britain heads into the festive period this weekend with a warning from Boris Johnson that families should have a “smaller, shorter and safer” Christmas break in a bid to stop another ‘devastating spread’ of the coronavirus. Desperate to avoid back-tracking on rules about Christmas gatherings that were only put in place three weeks ago, Boris urged households to consider postponing get-togethers with elderly relatives and friends until after they have been ‘vaccinated’.   Although he wanted to see a common, UK-wide approach, the Welsh government had no such compunctions about restricting social mixing when it announced it would reduce the number of households permitted to mix at Christmas from three to two.

Now that UK has left the EU, I will comment on relevant EU – UK events as they arise

Last week Boris promised a final decision on Brexit by Sunday.  As usual he has ‘U’turned again and now negotiations will continue, if necessary, up to the deadline on 31st December.  The EU’s Barnier said negotiations with the UK had come down to finding settlements on fair-competition rules and fishing rights, and appeared to contradict Boris Johnson, who said a gulf remained between the sides when talks were adjourned last Sunday night.

The EU’s chief negotiator said Johnson’s acceptance of the need for “a mechanism of unilateral measures” should regulatory standards diverge over time had unlocked the talks despite difficult issues remaining.  Both sides are teetering on the brink of a no-deal Brexit departure. They have committed to a final push in talks in the run-up to 31 December, when a transitional period following the UK’s departure from the bloc is to end.

To be continued next week.

The UK government is in lockstep with Agenda 2030. They are weak, unaccountable , pandering puppets taking orders from their masters ,while they systematically destroy the livelihoods, freedoms and rights of their citizens. Like all other global governments following this agenda, their actions are clearly designed to inflict maximum damage on their countries and it’s people, making way for the coming great reset and a dystopian future.

My mother (82) received a letter from her GP offering the vaccine in 2 doses, 3 weeks apart. The NHS booklet enclosed said it was ok for people with cancer (including Myeloma which she has) and a list of other diseases and conditions to take it. Which conflicted with the Govt’s own advice that anyone with a compromised immune system should not have it.

It also clearly stated that having the vaccine would NOT stop you getting Covid-19 (or any other variant) or from passing it on to others. Interesting that this ‘vaccine’ is claimed to be 95% effective even though the current flu jab (which she was offered the week before) is only 40% effective despite being around for years with considerable data to use for research and analysis of its effectiveness.

Yesterday we had a visit from her cancer nurse and asked how many cases were in the local hospital. She said about 80 but agreed that very few people were now dying from it. Claimed it was because they’d worked out an effective treatment regime for it. We said that neither of us would be having it and can only hope they don’t try to make it mandatory before her next course of treatment in the Spring.

The objective is to destroy the old system and offer some new Communist system.

the objective is to kill all the weak.
if you are influenced by propaganda, you need to stop ingesting it.

the whole concept of social isolation, imposed on social creatures, informs you of the evil intentions of these doom porn stars

reject all information that is not 1st hand.

I’ve been to hospitals, and drs offices, I know what is happening, and my experiences are in direct conflict with all msm info.

There are many, many millions of people all over the civilized world who know that the entire establishment of all of their nations, states, counties are actively engaged in an attempt to eliminate huge numbers of people they find useless (old, sick to start…) and virtually enslave the rest. Millions and millions of us, dead certain, with all the evidence any personor curt would ever need and yet… nothing.

The old world is gone. The new world they have planned for us is utterly horrible, but might include some nice electronic gadgets. And yet we do nothing. The plans are not secret, not just hopes and dreams of the Establishment, but concrete, achievable goals that they publicly endorse and further daily. And yet we do nothing.

We are in for a damnably hard time. The only way I see to make it less bad is to eliminate all of the Establishment and their top minions, and as quickly as possible. We could do it very easily, especially since the small number of chiefs are served by lesser minions who know the true score, and could get their bosses and associates. These people are inside the fence. You people know who you are. And after consolidation, you will be in the first purge. That is the way it is always done. Move now, or wish you had.

The time to be silent, alone, sneaky, mean, merciless, quick and non-celebratory is now. In a few months, it is going to get a lot harder to do anything. In a few years??? Forget about it.

I wish admin would get rid of that annoying coda at the end of articles: “Emigrate while you still can!”
There’s no emigrating to a “better” place in the globalist hellhole.
What is the recommendation?

The young nurse who took the shot at a news conference to demonstrate its’ safety and then collapsed has disappeared from the MSM news but an alt-media source blogger reported that her obituary has appeared in her hometown newspaper; I can’t say it’s true or not. If so, at least she didn’t have to suffer a death from cancer caused by the cancer cell genes in the fetal culture MRC-5 as reportedly discovered by an Italian Lab. But for certain: TPTSNB’s plan is to ruin small businesses and millions of people; take their property and business for big corporations and banks; bring on Collapse & Chaos; implement the NWO; replace all currencies with Central Bank e-money and enslave us within a Social Credit System; effect a 90% cull of the Goy population. CV-19 rules and shots are a Means to their Ends. We must rebel or be murdered/enslaved.
