Christmas Day Edition: UPLIFTING MESSAGES FOR CHRISTMAS DAY – Happy Christmas Everyone – but Remember those less Fortunate: Letter from Great Britain [12-25-21]

“The Financial Jigsaw” has been serialised here and is replaced by this weekly “Letter from Great Britain.”  NOTEIf anyone would like an electronic copy of the complete book, I should be pleased to email a free PDF on request to: [email protected].

LOCKDOWN UPDATE: Whitty, the chief medical officer for England, said that people should limit their socialising over Christmas to people and events that “really matter” and this, combined with a surge in Covid cases, led to dramatic falls in the number of people going to pubs, restaurants and shows.  No firm has been legally required to close under Plan B, which was announced by Boris Johnson for England earlier this month and which extended the legal use of face masks, required Covid passes for some venues and encouraged working from home. Ministers have not ruled out imposing further restrictions on socialising after Christmas, which could lead to calls for a further bailout for hospitality. Here’s a spoof for a laugh: johnson-reluctantly-took-the-call-why-did-everyone-expect-answers-from-the-pm

AND here is great news as reported by Owen Jones in the Guardian; he is an obnoxious Marxist and one of their columnists – can’t stand the bloke, but he has correctly written that the Brits are losing their patience over lockdowns (fewer than a quarter of our people support it)– an encouraging read:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/22/omicron-covid-restrictions

IN the meantime, here is a very sad report of real-life experiences for many people suffering the effects of this Covid nonsense.  Worth reading just to remind ourselves that not everyone will enjoy what we at TBP are likely to experience over the holiday period. ‘I can’t get a single present’: millions in US barely scraping by amid holidays:  americans-coronavirus-unemployment-holidays

A couple of weeks ago this comment appeared on TBP – Hat Tip: Archeaopteryx Phoenix and many thanks to AP for posting it: It can be read in the original comment here, {maybe our ruling elite will notice?) https://www.theburningplatform.com/2021/12/12/panic-us-mega-corporations-rush-to-abandon-vax-mandate/

“When the bubonic plague struck Geneva in 1530, everything was ready. They even opened a whole hospital for the plague victims with doctors, paramedics and nurses. The traders contributed, the magistrate gave grants every month. The patients always gave money, and if one of them died alone, all the goods went to the hospital.

But then a disaster happened: the plague was dying out, while the subsidies depended on the number of patients.  There was no question of right and wrong for the Geneva hospital staff in 1530. If the plague produces money, then the plague is good. And then the doctors got organized.

    At first, they just poisoned patients to raise the mortality statistics, but they quickly realized that the statistics didn’t have to be just about mortality, but about mortality from plague.

    So they began to cut the boils from the bodies of the dead, dry them, grind them in a mortar and give them to other patients as medicine. Then they started dusting clothes, handkerchiefs and garters. But somehow the plague continued to abate. Apparently, the dried buboes didn’t work well.

    Doctors went into town and spread bubonic powder on door handles at night, selecting those homes where they could then profit. As an eyewitness wrote of these events, “this remained hidden for some time, but the devil is more concerned with increasing the number of sins than with hiding them.”

In short, one of the doctors became so impudent and lazy that he decided not to wander the city at night, but simply threw a bundle of dust into the crowd during the day. The stench rose to the sky and one of the girls, who by a lucky chance had recently come out of that hospital, discovered what that smell was. The doctor was tied up and placed in the good hands of competent “craftsmen.” They tried to get as much information from him as possible.

            However, the execution lasted several days. The ingenious hippocrats were tied to poles on wagons and carried around the city. At each intersection the executioners used red-hot tongs to tear off pieces of meat. They were then taken to the public square, beheaded and quartered, and the pieces were taken to all the districts of Geneva. The only exception was the hospital director’s son, who did not take part in the trial but blurted out that he knew how to make potions and how to prepare the powder without fear of contamination. He was simply beheaded “to prevent the spread of evil”.  ~ François Bonivard, ‘Chronicles of Geneva’, second volume, pages 395 – 402

AND HERE is more hope for Christmas and the New Year – an appropriate eye-witness review of past totalitarian regime failures, in this case, Poland 1981: https://off-guardian.org/2021/12/13/forty-years-on-lessons-from-polands-lockdown/

“As I reflect on the experiences of East European post/totalitarian systems I come to a cautiously optimistic conclusion.  Both the Nazi and the Stalinist regimes embodied the totalitarian terror-based forms of power.  They caused untold amount of human suffering, and unprecedented numbers of deaths yet they were both doomed to fail precisely for their inability to sustain life.

All of the key actors involved were condemned by history.  After Stalin’s death a post-totalitarian system evolved in most countries behind the Iron Curtain with what Havel observes as a reliance of the system on self-disciplining compliant citizen.

Today’s power greedy controllers of the agenda are trying to orchestrate a shift to the New Normal without the population noticing it, and that must mean, without mass terror, and directly into a form of post-totalitarianism.

What they are using instead, is sophisticated psychological operations deploying fear on all sections of society.  The fear of the virus in all its variants works on the mainstream population well to promote the jabs and the passports. But could it be, that we, in the resistance, are also subject to psy-ops?  What are we afraid of most of all?

The possibility of an introduction of vaccine mandates and jab passes with the threat of job losses is a powerful threat and it might work on some.  Yet, in Germany, UK and other places there are significant minorities who will never succumb to this pressure.  What is the regime’s next move?

Camps for the unvaccinated?  Forced vaccinations?  Somehow, I do not believe the regime can afford a move towards terror.  That would end the support of the many who are already unhappy about having to get boosters at regular intervals.  Those unwilling to vaccinate ad infinitum will only grow in numbers.  Forced vaccinations and a reliance on concentration camps would also create martyrs of thousands or millions of people at which point, credibility and legitimacy of their agenda would end.

On the morning of 13 December 1981, and in the months that followed, the situation felt bleak and indeed, the black and white images of tanks in the streets and long queues for food do give a true representation of the hardship and the loss of hope at that time.

Yet, we know something today that we didn’t then.  The one-party post/totalitarian centrally planned economies do not last forever.  Economically, they are inefficient and cannot respond to societal needs. But there is also something else that post/totalitarian systems fail at. The totalising system, based on the drive to control turns itself into a monolith. The more it tries to control, the more entropic IT becomes.

Havel calls it the ‘entropic’ regime which is doomed to fail.  ‘Life, by contrast’ writes Havel:  with its irrepressible urge to oppose entropy, is able all the more successfully and inventively to resist being violated, the faster the violating authority succumbs to its own sclerosis. In trying to paralyse life, the authorities paralyse themselves and, in the long run, incapacitate themselves for paralysing life.”

With our knowledge of what kind of transhumanist future today’s crazy totalitarians dream of installing this much is clear: life, as long as there is life, will resist and, as Havel writes: ‘it always survives the power that ravished it’

We have had many Poles living in my town of Bruton over the years and I love them.  They work hard, have lots of Vodka parties, good wholesome food, and fun to be with but also have a deep religious spirit allowing for a sound moral integrity so lacking in some of our indigenous Brits.  It’s sad that Brexit has seen many of them return to their homeland which is our loss – here’s a little about Bruton: visit-trendiest-town-somerset

 THUS moving on, let’s have some humour to spike our Christmas celebrations.  In our ‘woke’ world, with its tender snowflake generations being ‘offended’ at every insinuation, it is uplifting to have my hero, John Cleese (the comic messiah), hit the BBC hard in a recent interview.

“John Cleese has said he intends to put in a formal complaint about the “deception, dishonesty and tone” of a recent BBC interview he took part in.  The BBC World News TV interview covered ‘cancel culture’ around comedy and his upcoming stand-up tour in Asia.

The Monty Python star tweeted that journalist Karishma Vaswani had tried to portray him as “old-fashioned, uncaring and basically harmful”.  “I replied courteously and in full I explained that if parents were over protective, it did not prepare children well when they entered the real and often not-very-nice world,” he tweeted. “She then asked a disjointed question, clearly trying to portray me as old-fashioned, uncaring and basically harmful.”

He added that his response had been “totally ignored” by the interviewer, who had then asked about the pandemic and US comedian Dave Chapelle, who recently hit out against cancel culture. Cleese then removed his headphones, as it was “not the interview I had agreed to,” he noted. “Karishma had no interest in a discussion with me. She wanted only the role of [a] prosecutor. The BBC needs to train her again.” View this intriguing video clip and witness the propagandised BBC:   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59681167

OMICRON MONITOR:  This insightful report appeared in OffGuardian last week – Hat Tip, Kit Knightly – MORE GOOD NEWS for the coming year. Here is my edited version:

Our captured authorities are determined to make the “Omicron Variant” appear as frightening as possible, that means ‘manufacturing’ as many cases as they can and flipping all the way to the front of the Covid playbook.  Enter: “The 5 Signs You May Have Omicron Covid”, revealed an article in the ‘Metro’ MSM last week, and repeated in spirit across dozens of other media outlets.

For those of you feeling morbidly curious, here are the five signs of Omicron:

  • scratchy throat
  • Fatigue
  • mild muscle aches
  • dry cough
  • night sweats

The astute reader will no doubt pick up that these are the symptoms of every single one of the common cold viruses that infect millions of people all over the world every single year.

It’s just the old Simpson’s joke about “mild hunger, occasional thirst and tiredness at night”, only they expect us to take it seriously.  The odds are you’ve experienced these symptoms at least once or twice in the last year or so. This does not mean you had Omicron. It does not mean Omicron even exists.

Rather, it’s just a ploy to get you to follow totalitarian government diktat and, in the words of the article: “order a free PCR test as soon as possible” AND “get your BOOSTER SHOT” repeated ad infinitum across all our media outlets 24/7.

The UK government site for ordering PCR tests shut down quickly due to millions of panicking Brits. OffG have repeated, ad infinitum, that these tests are scientifically meaningless, and return huge numbers of false positives, [and are even to be scrapped at the end of the month according to the CDC in USA.]

Nevertheless, millions of PCR tests are violently attacking a person’s deeply sensitive nasal passages for nothing but mild cold symptoms and in the nasal swab lays the incipient “Omicron wave” according to our mad scientists whose Big Pharma agenda always allows them to find what they are asked to look for.

This is why Sajid Javid, our rabid Health Secretary, is on TV saying he expects cases of Omicron to “dramatically increase” in the run-up to Christmas and beyond, because they are going to make it happen.  Then they’ll probably have BoJo announce new restrictions for the New Year, before parliament returns, so they can’t be reviewed or voted on.

It’s the same old trick, again and again and again. Hopefully, people will stop falling for it soon – or not – whatever.  For God’s sake let’s sack these interfering arrogant scientists and public health Nazis once and for all in the New Year.

AND is it really science that the politicians are following, or rather, scientism? “The science” emerged long before 2020 as a potent source of authority for politicians. Yet while the scientific method is a powerful tool for advancing human potential, the belief that it alone can guide us is an example of “scientism.”

Scientism is, in the words of public intellectual Scott Masson, “the belief that moral or evaluative judgments are merely subjective and that only the ‘hard’ sciences—think physics, chemistry, or biology—furnish legitimate objective knowledge.” While few American politicians would openly endorse this position, the actions many have taken during the COVID-19 pandemic reflect scientism in deed, if not in word.

Scientism lets politicians off the hook for their decisions. They didn’t really make a decision—they merely “followed the science.”  As a scientistic credo, “Follow the science” doesn’t just abrogate leaders’ accountability as decision-makers. It also does violence to the nature of science, which seldom offers the clear-cut, politically useful conclusions that politicians want”   https://www.theepochtimes.com/follow-the-science-a-potent-source-of-authority-for-politicians_4149874.html

I hereby declare my New Year resolution for 2022 to be the year of FREEDOM and LIBERTY and will fight tooth and nail to ensure the message finally hits home in the hearts and minds of naïve Brits.

VACCINE REACTIONS: Here is really good news for the unvaxxed in UK at least: “For months the British public have been deceived with tales that there are just 5 million people in the United Kingdom who have refused to take up the offer of a Covid-19 vaccine. But today we can reveal that this is a lie.

It is a complete fabrication that has no doubt been used to make those who have refused the jab feel as if they are part of a minority, because an official UK Government report proves that in England alone there are approximately 23.5 million people who have not had a single dose of a Covid-19 vaccine”. https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/17/23-million-not-vaccinated-in-england/   AND the propaganda that 95% of hospital patients are ‘unvaxxed’ is more government fabrication unbacked by any published facts – the authoritarian Nazis are fighting a losing battle now.

Have a great special day – free from worry and unwarranted fear – eat, drink and be merry in the certain knowledge that we are wining.

To be continued next week.

Happy Christmas, Peter!

Until the culprits of this worldwide scam are hanging from lamp posts, this will not end. No amount of protesting will stop this. The criminals running the scam will pull back when their lives are in jeopardy.

Stucky

First of all AusPete, I am not going to wish you a Merry Christmas because you would feel obligated to wish one back — even though you already wished such upon me in another thread — but, you would do so again because British sensibilities and all that, and I’m sure you have enough to do today so, even though I won’t say it, you ought to know that I may be thinking it. Now, with that out of the way ….

=====

You are a news junkie, like me, and you may not have seen this as pretty much no one is reporting it. Dementia Cockroach just signed The Uighur Forced Labor Prevention Act .

It bans all imports of goods sourced fully or in part from China’s Xinjiang province …. where there are prison camps and forced labor and torture unflicted upon Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other minority groups.

HOW banning products from that province helps the minorities is not clear. Dementia Joe doesn’t give a fuck about Uighurs, I can guarantee that.

The law was surely passed to hurt Xi, hurt China, and bang those war drums. America wants war. We also want to drum up support to boycott the Olympics. … pissing on China at every opportunity. Well, maybe China deserves it, considering the incalculable damage they fostered upon the entire world with Chink Covid Crap. Me no likey Chinks.

China is not fooled by any of this. America is hell bent on poking the Russian Bear and Chinese Dragon simultaneously. Shit is fucked up and shit. One of these days we’re gonna get what we hoped for. I hope I’m dead by then.

The Chinks are smart enough to continue the forced labor manufacturing and ship the finished goods to another mfg plant that is not on the ban for export to the US. As long as it is not coming directly from Xinjiang province, the corrupt, creepy, old, senile pedophile gets his “win” and Xi continues funneling money to Hunter with 10% for the Big Guy. It is a win-win for Xi and the resident.
