Fact-Checking a “Fact-Checker”: A Response to HealthFeedback.org
Rosemary Frei
IOmage source: Columbia Journalism Review
On July 12 an organization called Health Feedback posted a review of my and Patrick Corbett’s July 2 OffGuardian article on the bombshell revelations of Bulgarian Pathology Association President Dr. Stoian Alexov. They stamped it “inaccurate.”
This article is a refutation of Health Feedback’s so-called fact-checking. I show why Dr. Alexov’s statements, in fact, fit the evidence, and punch plenty of other holes in Health Feedback’s claim that our article is “clearly wrong” and has “very little credibility.”
Health Feedback’s review is fatally faulty right off the top, when the review’s unnamed author mistakes my co-author Patrick Corbett for James Corbett of The Corbett Report: the screencap at the top of the review is from James Corbett’s June 16 interview with me.
The review also takes a swipe at outlets that reposted our article: it notes Media Bias/Fact Check dubbs GlobalResearch.ca and Australian National Review “conspiracy websites.”
But Media Bias/Fact Check has long been launching bogus attacks. And in addition, the Media Bias/Fact Check website says it has “chosen the IFCN [International Fact Checking Network] as our standard fact-checkers because they all abide by the same rules. This is important, as the standards are high.”
Note, however, that IFCN is funded by the likes of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (see below).
By the way, there’s at least one other article claiming to debunk our piece: a July 8 article by Lead Stories. Facebook uses the Lead Stories review to try to block people from reading our July 2 piece. I focus on Health Feedback’s review here because it’s more detailed and covers the same ground as the Lead Stories piece.
I’ll just mention a couple of things about Lead Stories. First, it belongs to the IFCN (still more on the IFCN very shortly). And when Lead Stories’ co-founder and editor-in-chief Alan Duke and his buddy Perry Sanders started the company in 2015, Duke was ending his long career with CNN – which isn’t exactly known for its factual reporting. And Duke shows his blatant bias when, in this article on Lead Stories, he blames COVID-19 deaths on people who don’t wear masks or social distance, and says “misinformation can be deadly.”
Let’s now take a quick peek under the hood of Health Feedback. It bills itself as a “non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to science education.”
Its advisors include nuclear-power booster and MIT professor Dr. Kerry Emanuel. Another advisor is Thomas Malone, who’s listed as a founding director of the Center for Collective Intelligence.
The Center is funded by, among others, Wall Street giant JP Morgan and pharma company Takeda. Takeda is developing antibody-based therapies against COVID-19.
Health Feedback’s parent organization is Science Feedback, which claims to be “non-partisan.”
Science Feedback apparently is “certified through the non-partisan” IFCN and joined Facebook’s “fact-checking program” in April 2019.
At 21:57 in the video, and in this link in the show notes, of The Corbett Report’s June 19 podcast episode exposing the glaring conflicts of interest in the fact-checking industry, host James Corbett reveals that IFCN’s major funders include George Soros-backed organizations and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Also, Health Feedback is a member of the World Health Organization (WHO)-led project called Vaccine Safety Net. It “provides scientifically based information on vaccine safety” to counter “unbalanced, misleading and alarming vaccine-safety information.”
Its Advisory Group members range from Cherstyn Hurley, Immunisation Publications Manager for Public Health in England, to Catharina de Kat, a member of the WHO’s team that answers media inquiries regarding COVID-19, to Dr. Jane Gidudu, Vaccine Safety Officer at the Global Immunization Division of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The WHO is a public-private partnership, with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation being a very major funder and large vaccine manufacturers also providing large contributions.
[Note: If Donald Trump does pull the US out of WHO, the Gates Foundation will be their biggest single financial supporter – ed.]
This is just one of the many ways Gates’s strategic contributions give him and big pharma the global leverage to push vaccines, antibodies and anti-virals on billions of people in the pursuit of profit.
While we’re following the money, note that AstraZeneca sponsored the May 8 European Society of Pathology (ESP) webinar that’s the subject of the May 13 interview of Dr. Alexov that was the focus of our July 2 article.
AstraZeneca is one of the biggest players jockeying for the lead in developing and selling vaccines against COVID-19.
Also, the company will not have financial responsibility in many countries for injuries and deaths from the vaccine it’s developing against COVID-19 — and which it’ll deliver billions of doses of, starting as early as December, without having to first show the vaccine is safe or effective.
This indemnity reportedly is being granted because the company, which is the UK’s second-largest pharmaceutical firm, “cannot take the risk” of compensating people for the “side effects” they experience from the vaccine.
Among the major backers of the AstraZeneca vaccine are the US government, the UK government, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
Therefore it’s plausible that the company, possibly joined by other powerful players, pushed the ESP leaders to distance themselves from Dr. Alexov’s revelations. (A statement by ESP leaders attempting to disprove Dr. Alexov’s assertions is included in the review; in the error list below I show evidence, including quotes from ESP President Dr. Holger Moch, that Dr. Alexov is correct.)
AstraZeneca also funded the ESP’s June 25 webinar that I discuss below. Furthermore, it was one of the three top funders of the ESP’s annual meeting, known as the European Congress of Pathology, in 2019. And it was a major sponsor of the 2018 congress.
Without further ado, here’s the list of errors Health Feedback made in its so-called ‘fact check’ of the main eight ‘claims’ Patrick Corbett and I made in our July 2 article.
Error #1 – Claim 1
In the section on Claim 1, the Health Feedback review states that Dr. Alexov made the revelations described in our article “during a [May 8] webinar organized by the European Society of Pathology.”
Health Feedback repeats and extends this falsehood a few sentences later: Dr. “Alexov made his remarks at a ‘consensus of participants’ during the ESP webinar – with the implication that his comments were accepted as part of the scientific or medical consensus.”
We, in fact, wrote that Dr. Alexov made his revelations in a May 13 interview (bolding added for emphasis):
Dr. Alexov made his jaw-dropping observations in a video interview summarizing the consensus of participants in a May 8, 2020, European Society of Pathology (ESP) webinar on COVID-19.
The May 13 video interview of Dr. Alexov was conducted by Dr. Stoycho Katsarov, chair of the Center for Protection of Citizens’ Rights in Sofia and a former Bulgarian deputy minister of health. The video is on the BPA [Bulgarian Pathology Association]’s website, which also highlights some of Dr. Alexov’s main points.”
Error #2 – Claim 2
The section on Claim 2 in the review states that it’s false that no monoclonal antibodies for the novel coronavirus exist.
In our article we wrote that:
Among the major bombshells Dr. Alexov dropped is that the leaders of the May 8 ESP webinar said no novel-coronavirus-specific antibodies have been found.”
The review article asserts that:
This is false. Several published studies report the discovery of antibodies that bind specifically to SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, as well as antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in people who had been previously infected[1-4].”
The review also cites another study to try to bolster their position that there are novel-coronavirus-specific monoclonal antibodies (Reference 10, which they cite in the section of the review on Claim 4).
Health Feedback also obtained a statement from ESP President Dr. Holger Moch, ESP Director-General Dr. Raed Al-Dieri and ESP Secretary Dr. Aurelio Ariza. The ESP officials write that their statement summarizes the official position of the ESP, “which is not responsible for the claims and opinions of its individual members.”
The ESP trio’s statement addresses monoclonal antibodies and detection of the virus by saying:
Monoclonal antibodies able to identify different components of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) are certainly available. They are used by pathologists to demonstrate the presence of the virus in body tissues with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence studies.
“Other techniques (such as in situ hybridization and RT-PCR [reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) can detect viral RNA in tissues. Additionally, electron microscopy neatly allows the visualization of the spike-crowned virus (hence the name coronavirus) in the diseased organs.
“Coronavirus images as observed by pathologists in human tissues may be seen in the articles by M. Ackerman [sic] et al. (NEJM 2020)[6], I. Colmenero et al. (Brit J Dermatol 2020)[7], V.G. Puelles et al. (NEJM 2020)[8] and Z. Varga et al. (Lancet 2020)[9], among others.
In this section we’ll deal with the assertions about monoclonal antibodies by Health Feedback and the ESP officials. In the section on Error #4 below we’ll address their claims that pathologists have detected viral RNA in tissues and have used electron microscopy to visualize the virus.
If they’re correct and the novel coronavirus in fact has been found and is the causative agent of the deaths attributed to COVID-19, there should be monoclonal antibodies that are specific to it and only to it.
That’s because SARS-CoV-2 supposedly is distinct from every other virus, including its cousin SARS-CoV. So monoclonal antibodies used to detect the novel coronavirus should be specific to only the novel coronavirus.
But none of the five references cited by Health Feedback – References 1-4 and Reference 10 – prove the existence of such monoclonal antibodies.
One of the papers (Reference 4) doesn’t even mention monoclonal antibodies. Three of the others (References 1, 2 and 10) involve monoclonal antibodies to SARS-CoV rather than to SARS-CoV-2. And the fourth (Reference 3) uses two antibody tests, but neither has been shown to be specific to the novel coronavirus — or even to be accurate at all.
Also, the five papers’ authors also don’t provide any other objective verification that the novel coronavirus truly is present.
The details of my examination of those five references are in Appendix One.
During a June 25 ESP webinar, Dr. Zsuzsanna Varga, a senior attending physician in the University Hospital of Zurich’s Institute of Pathology and Molecular Pathology which Dr. Moch heads, gave a presentation on the methods to detect the virus in autopsy tissue.
She said (at 13:19 in the video of her presentation), in discussing a paper claiming to detect the novel coronavirus using among other methods monoclonal antibodies via immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence (which as it turns out is Reference 10 in the Health Feedback review), that few if any groups have been able to replicate these findings:
The problem that I see at the moment is that many pathology institutions face unspecific background stain and unspecific stains,” said Dr. Varga “…. We tried several clones [monoclonal antibodies] to get such nice and reliable signals [as the paper’s authors] [but] we are at the moment not at that step where we can say we have a good antibody and we have reliable signals.”
The details of this are in Appendix Two’s section on Reference 8. And I discuss Dr. Varga’s presentation some more in the section on Error #4 below.
Another problem with the assertion that monoclonal antibodies for the novel coronavirus have been produced is that none of them appear to have undergone objective and thorough antibody validation.
In this article providing a framework for robust antibody validation the authors state that “for commercially available antibodies, it is clear that what is on the label does not necessarily correspond to what is in the tube.”
The authors also emphasize that “for antibodies, one must demonstrate that they are specific, selective, and reproducible in the context for which they are used.”
And by the way, in case you haven’t guessed, the sale of monoclonal antibodies is highly profitable. It’s so lucrative they comprise the majority of the biopharmaceutical market. See for example this article and this paper on the booming monoclonal-antibody business.
Error #3 – Claim 3
The review asserts that Patrick Corbett and I were inaccurate in the way we described monoclonal antibodies.
This was our description:
The body forms antibodies specific to pathogens it encounters. These specific antibodies are known as monoclonal antibodies and are a key tool in pathology.”
The review points out that in fact the body produces what are known as ‘polyclonal antibodies.’ These are an array of antibodies that differ from each other. They state that polyclonal antibodies are used for the production of monoclonal antibodies, and that this can only be done in laboratories, via cloning of cells that produce specific antibodies.
I concede that our description could have been clearer. But the essence of our description is accurate.
As I wrote on July 6 in the comments section of our article:
what Dr. Alexov is saying and what we’re explaining is that mAbs [monoclonal antibodies] are necessary for verifying the presence of pathogens in tissue and that no such mAbs exist for the novel coronavirus. Obviously that’s because there have not been any antibodies found that are highly specific to the novel coronavirus; these are needed to produce mAbs.”
Error #4 – Claim 4
Health Feedback refutes the statement in our article that, because no monoclonal antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 have been identified to date, pathologists can’t verify whether the virus is present in the body and whether the disease or diseases attributed to the virus truly were caused by it.
In an attempt to show that our statement is wrong, Health Feedback cites this part of the ESP leaders’ statement:
Monoclonal antibodies able to identify different components of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) are certainly available. They are used by pathologists to demonstrate the presence of the virus in body tissues with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence studies.”
We dealt with this in Error #2, above.
They also refer to another part of the ESP leaders’ statement:
Other techniques (such as in situ hybridization and RT-PCR [polymerase chain reaction]) can detect viral RNA in tissues. Additionally, electron microscopy neatly allows the visualization of the spike-crowned virus (hence the name coronavirus) in the diseased organs.
“Coronavirus images as observed by pathologists in human tissues may be seen in the articles by M. Ackerman et al. (NEJM 2020)[6], I. Colmenero et al. (Brit J Dermatol 2020)[7], V.G. Puelles et al. (NEJM 2020)[8] and Z. Varga et al. (Lancet 2020)[9], among others.
In Error #2 above I addressed the assertions about the monoclonal antibodies. In this section I’ll address whether the virus in fact has been visualized.
I carefully examined References 6 to 9 cited in the ESP statement. I found that none of them can truly claim to describe the imaging of the novel coronavirus. Appendix Two gives the details of my findings.
On top of that, Dr. Moch himself has cast doubt on whether the novel coronavirus has been imaged in autopsy tissues of people said to have died of the novel coronavirus.
At 6:58 in the first of the six publicly viewable videos from the May 8 ESP webinar — in talking about “viral-like particles” shown in an electron-microscopy figure accompanying a Lancet Respiratory Medicine paper — he says that while many researchers claim to have imaged the novel coronavirus:
at the moment it is relatively controversial if [whether] these are true viral particles.”
The Health Feedback article also states, “the ESP webinar that the article refers to included a specific session dedicated to methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in human tissue. This session showed that pathologists are using a variety of techniques to determine whether a person was infected with SARS-CoV-2, including molecular techniques such as in situ hybridization (ISH).”
They’ve made another error there – the ESP webinar they’re referring to took place on June 25; it isn’t the May 8 ESP webinar that we discussed in our article on Dr. Alexov.
And as I mentioned in Error #2 above, in that June 25 ESP webinar Dr. Varga does discuss methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in autopsy tissues.
However, she concludes, when discussing a paper she and Dr. Moch co-authored along with other papers published to date on electron-microscope images that claim to show viral particles (and which is Reference 9 in the Health Feedback review), that visualizing the virus, via electron microscopy is:
demanding [and] time-consuming, and searching for virus takes sometimes several hours.”
Dr. Varga also notes that it requires a lot of expertise, because other structures and fixation artefacts can be mistaken for viral particles. The latter are distortions created during the processing of tissue sections for examination.
She suggests that, to be sure whether the viral particles are present in autopsy tissue, further study is needed with immune electron microscopy, which is even more painstaking – and expensive – technique.
(See Appendix Two for more on these quotes and other information on imaging viral particles, PCR, in situ hybridization, and visualizing the virus’s RNA and protein.)
Note also that Torsten Englebrecht and Konstantin Demeter asked teams of scientists who had claimed to have purified and sequenced the novel coronavirus whether the electron micrographs in their published findings showed purified viruses.
The scientists’ responses were essentially “No.”
The pair reported this in a June 27 Off-Guardian article. (I note this also in the section on Error #5, below.)
It’s striking that a virus which is supposedly a constant threat to all of us and overwhelms the bodies of hundreds of thousands of its victims is so extremely elusive. It should be easy to detect the virus in autopsy tissue, particularly the target tissue of the lungs, because viruses replicate until they’re present in large enough quantities to kill a person.
Based on all the evidence, the only logical conclusion is that it’s very uncertain whether these “viral particles” are the novel coronavirus.
Error #5 – Claim 5
The review also states that our claim is false that “novel coronavirus has not fulfilled Koch’s postulates.”
I stand by my and Amory Devereux’s June 9 Off-Guardian article in which we demonstrate that the novel coronavirus has not fulfilled Koch’s postulates.
I also stand by Torsten Englebrecht and Konstantin Demeter. As I mention in the section on Error #4 above, the duo asked scientists who had claimed to have purified and sequenced the novel coronavirus whether the electron micrographs in their published findings indeed showed purified viruses. The scientists’ responses indicated that they did not show this.
And oddly, the Health Feedback review first asserts that the Koch’s postulates are obsolete – and then it states that a microbiologist and epidemiologist Dr. W. Ian Lipkin “told Health Feedback that many published studies have already demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 fulfills Koch’s postulates” (with References 14-16 to support this).
And Dr. Lipkin again cites References 14-16 in this shot later in the article:
Conspiracy theorists are not persuaded by data. There are many studies of SARS-CoV-2 that fulfill Koch’s postulates.”
But one wonders who in fact isn’t persuaded by data: while References 14-16 describe monkeys developing COVID-19 symptoms after being injected with the novel coronavirus, among other defects in the papers is the lack of proof that the substance injected into the monkeys was purified novel coronavirus.
And by the way, a whole article could be written on Dr. Lipkin alone.
For example, the web page on him from Columbia University where he’s a professor gives clues regarding his allegiances. It includes the following (verbatim from the web page with bolding added for emphasis):
Dr. Lipkin serves as co-chair of the Steering Committee of the National neurology biosurveillance Advisory Subcommittee and as Director of the Northeast Biodefense Center and the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center on Diagnostics, Surveillance and Immunotherapeutics for Emerging Infectious and Zoonotic Diseases, the only academic WHO Center focused on diagnostics and discovery. He has ongoing collaborations and projects with the Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, USAID PREDICT, US Department of Agriculture, US Food and Drug Administration, Agilent Technologies, Pfizer, Roche 454 Life Sciences, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Google.org, Institut Pasteur, and OneHealth Alliance.
And the Wikipedia page on Dr. Lipkin notes among other things that he’s a proponent of gain-of-function research on pathogens.
[Note: For a rundown on gain-of-function research and how it applies to weapons programs, watch this interview with independent journalist Sam Husseini – ed.]
Error #6 – Claim 6
The review states that it’s false to claim that “no one has died from the coronavirus.”
It uses as support these two sentences in the ESP leaders’ statement:
As discussed in the two ESP webinars on the subject (May 8th and June 25th, 2020), the striking autopsy findings seen in the lungs and other organs of COVID-19 patients are unexplainable as the effect of any concurrent disease and support the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) as the cause of death in these cases.”
And:
There is evidence of a specific COVID-19-associated coagulopathy that can cause deadly thromboembolism.”
However, as discussed in Errors #2 and 4 above, the autopsy findings published to date have not conclusively shown that the novel coronavirus is present in the tissue of people deemed to have died of COVID-19.
Also, in the May 8 ESP webinar, during the Q&A at the end, a participant asked, “When we deal with the statistics, do we know who died of and who died with COVID-19?” Dr. Moch responded:
In principle we cannot say; we cannot tell. Because every COVID-19 patient has an individual cause of death. In my opinion, we should do autopsies and derive from the autopsy findings if a patient died with or because of COVID-19.”
(He added that “of course” the virus plays “a leading role” in intensive-care patients with very severe clinical symptoms. “But we have to better understand the disease course in patients that die at whom;” he said, because some patients arrive at hospital with very mild symptoms and within a week develop severe blood clots [thromboemboli in their lungs].)
Also, when leaders of the May 8 webinar were asked a few minutes later what autopsy differences there are between patients with COVID-19 and those with usual seasonal flu, Dr. Moch — after a period of silence and asking the question to be repeated — said:
It’s difficult to answer. We have very poor[ly] described morphology images [i.e., pathology findings] from the seasonal flu cases.”
(Dr. Moch then held up a thesis that he said is titled “The Spanish Flu in 1918 and 1919” and contains autopsy reports from more than 970 people who died the Spanish flu. “So I’m convinced these findings get a new emphasis in the COVID-19 pandemic,” he said.)
Error #7 – Claim 6 (continued)
As part of the assertion that it is false to say that “no one has died of the novel coronavirus,” Health Feedback claims that the higher number of deaths in 2020 compared to previous years in the US means there have been excess deaths with COVID-19. It cites one of their own review articles, published on May 22, 2020.
It also mentions an April 26 Financial Times article that indicates excess mortality has been observed in 14 countries.
The review draws the conclusion that, “The excess mortality observed across the world in 2020 can only be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, as there is no other factor which can explain this sudden increase in mortality compared to previous years when COVID-19 was not present.”
But that assertion is very unscientific: it isn’t backed up by any truly independent analyses of whether these deaths were due to the novel coronavirus or instead to other causes.
Here are a few of the many lines of evidence that challenge the underpinnings of the COVID-19 peak.
First, the PCR test relied on for COVID-19 case counts is highly inaccurate.
Also, it’s now well-known that the cases are highly over-counted. Several countries finally are admitting this. See for example this July 17 article by Off-Guardian editor Kit Knightly.
Second, Ontario Civil Liberties Association researcher Dr. Denis Rancourt performed an analysis indicating that the ‘COVID-19 peak’ of deaths occurred during the winter, which is when deaths peak every year.
However, he found the COVID-19 peak wasn’t consistent with any other peaks of all-cause mortality. The spike in COVID-19-attributed deaths in the US only occurred in a few hotspots such as New York City (and it didn’t take place in states that did not have lock-downs); was only four weeks long; and was almost entirely due to excess deaths in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities.
Rancourt concluded that:
the ‘COVID peak results from an accelerated mass homicide of immune-vulnerable individuals, and individuals made more immune-vulnerable, by government and institutional actions, rather than being an epidemiological signature of a novel virus, irrespective of the degree to which the virus is novel from the perspective of viral speciation.”
This fits to some extent with my May 26 article that suggests governments may have deliberately put in place the conditions that led to the high care-home death rates.
Third, there are many other major factors that could be linked to deaths but that haven’t been taken into account by Health Feedback, its masters the WHO and other ‘authorities’ such as the CDC.
Here are seven of those major factors:
- Serious medical conditions ranging from heart disease that are listed as mere underlying comorbidities on COVID-19 death certificates but that in fact are very likely to be the true killers;
- Officials may well have deemed many deaths from influenza as being caused by COVID-19.
And as noted in Error #6 above, when leaders of the May 8 ESP webinar were asked what the differences are in autopsy findings between patients with COVID and those with the seasonal flu, Dr. Moch answered: “It’s difficult to answer. We have very poor[ly] described morphology images from the seasonal flu cases.” - There were huge numbers of people barred from seeing a physician or getting life-saving surgeries and treatments during the shut-downs;
- There also have been higher rates of suicide due to the very large-scale job loss, social isolation and other pressures associated with the draconian measures undertaken on the premise of combating COVID-19;
- In addition there has been much more domestic violence due to those measures;
- There was heavy air pollution in areas deemed to have high numbers of deaths from the novel coronavirus;
- There are increased rates of vaccination in countries such as Italy where it is mandatory, leading to higher rates of death in the elderly.
An eighth fatality factor possibly could be tuberculosis (TB). TB has long been a true pandemic; according to the WHO it kills about 1.5 million people a year (although the ‘pandemic’ label has disappeared from the WHO’s description of the state of TB around the world). And TB’s symptoms significantly overlap with those attributed to COVID-19.
This highly contagious disease has been ignored during the COVID-19 crisis and therefore it may be spreading unchecked and deaths from it being attributed to COVID-19 instead.
For example, in the WHO’s Q&A for tuberculosis, under “What is the potential impact of COVID-19 pandemic on essential tuberculosis services?,” it states:
Modelling work suggests that if the COVID-19 pandemic led to a global reduction of 25% in expected TB detection for 3 months – a realistic possibility given the levels of disruption in TB services being observed in multiple countries – then we could expect a 13% increase in TB deaths, bringing us back to the levels of TB mortality that we had 5 years ago.
This may even be a conservative estimate as it does not factor in other possible impacts of the pandemic on TB transmission, treatment interruptions and poorer outcomes in people with TB and COVID-19 infection (Predicted impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global tuberculosis deaths in 2020, P. Glaziou). Between 2020 and 2025 an additional 1.4 million TB deaths could be registered as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic (Stop TB Partnership analysis).
Also, in March three of the four TB clinics in New York City were closed, even though TB rates in that city are double the national average. And other countries such as Canada have not been monitoring for TB, or screening immigrants or visitors for it, for years. The phenomenon of neglecting TB over the previous months and years appears to be nearly world-wide.
Error #8 – Claim 7
Health Feedback said we were wrong when we wrote in the July 2 article that “the inability to identify monoclonal antibodies for the virus suggests there is no basis for the vaccines, serological testing and immunity certificates being rolled out around the globe at unprecedented speed and cost.”
First the review states that novel-coronavirus-specific monoclonal antibodies have been identified. I demolish this in the section on Error #2.
Second, they note that the body produces an array of immune responses, from polyclonal antibodies to T-cell-mediated responses.
But that completely misses the point.
The serological tests developed to date all are based on antibody detection. And as I demonstrated in the section on Error #2, even the monoclonal antibodies produced to date are not specific to the novel coronavirus.
Therefore there’s a very low probability that tests based on far less-specific entities such as polyclonal antibodies would be able to pick out the novel coronavirus and not other viruses.
And would a vaccine that’s not specific for the novel coronavirus help combat it? That’s very unlikely. After all, researchers have been trying for 17 years to create a vaccine against SARS and have failed.
Add to that the fact that viruses mutate. For example, the best that the Ontario Ministry of Health can muster on their website promoting influenza vaccination is that:
When the vaccine is well-matched to the flu strains circulating in a particular flu season, it can prevent the flu in up to 60% of the overall population.”
So the dice are loaded against a novel-coronavirus vaccine being any use at all. Instead, we’ll be subjected to “side effects” unaccompanied by any benefits.
The review also asserts that “immunity certificates are not being ‘rolled out around the globe’ at the moment,” citing articles from April 10 and May 21. But this much more recent piece — a June 26 MintPress News article — credibly suggests the COVI-PASS is rolling out very soon in 15 countries.
[NOTE: The World Economic Forum was promoting the “immunity passport” app as recently as July 30 – ed.]
Error #9 – Claim 8
The Health Feedback article says we were incorrect when in our July 2 article we wrote, “Among the myriad ways the WHO is creating [worldwide] chaos is by prohibiting almost all autopsies of people deemed to have died from COVID-19.”
The review states that the WHO hasn’t prohibited COVID-19 autopsies. The review also cites the June 25 ESP webinar as proof that autopsies have been performed on COVID-19 victims.
And it claims that “several studies on COVID-19 autopsy findings from countries such as the US, Germany and China have been published.” It uses four papers to support their claim (References 17-20).
The review seem to be right about part of this: I searched for and found no such explicit pronouncement from the WHO.
However, there’s ample evidence that many countries simultaneously stopped doing autopsies. This in turn strongly suggests that behind the scenes the WHO — or perhaps some other powerful world body, but no organization has had the same global reach during the COVID-19 crisis as the WHO — was urging the cessation of autopsies on people deemed to have died of the novel coronavirus.
And this, in fact, is supported rather than refuted by the four papers Health Feedback cites.
The first of the four papers (Reference 17) was published in the June 2020 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Pathology. It describes two – count ‘em two – full autopsies done by April 4 in the state of Oklahoma of people who had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The second reference (Reference 18) was published on June 4, 2020, and describes the first 80 consecutive full COVID-19 autopsies in the German province of Hamburg. The authors state in the introduction that:
Contrary to the initial recommendation of the German Robert Koch Institute (RKI) to avoid autopsies of COVID-19 deaths if possible [1], this institution has recently changed its recommendation and currently acknowledges the benefits and value of autopsies in the context of pandemic control.”
This explicitly shows that some sort of autopsy prohibition was indeed in place, but that the authors pushed back and conducted autopsies anyway. (And the results were very revealing. More on this paper shortly.)
The third reference (Reference 19) was published in the May 2020 issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathology. But it isn’t a study of autopsy findings — it’s a guideline written by four UK pathologists on how to perform autopsies in people who are suspected of having died of COVID-19.
The fourth reference (Reference 20) was published on June 30, 2020 in Virchow’s Archives, which is the official journal of the ESP. The authors from the University Hospital Ruebingen in Germany describe the four autopsies they performed between March 20 and April 18, 2020. A whopping four autopsies.
There’s also other evidence of a coordinated, widespread move to minimize the number of autopsies.
For example, in early February the UK’s Royal College of Pathologists issued a briefing paper stating that:
In general, if a death is believed to be due to confirmed COVID-19 infection, there is unlikely to be any need for a post mortem to be conducted and the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death should be issued.”
The subsequent dearth of COVID-19 autopsies was the subject of media attention in the UK.
And as I wrote in my May 26 article on care-home deaths:
COVID-19-attributed deaths are deemed ‘natural’ by new rules released by the chief coroner [for Ontario] on April 9. In all but an extremely small number of cases, natural deaths are exempt from any further investigations or post-mortems.”
Also, as noted above, the high-profile Robert Koch Institute in Germany urged that autopsies not be conducted. Their near-prohibition was the subject of pushback by some physicians’ groups. Finally in late May the institute reversed course.
The few published studies on COVID-19 autopsies show that they can yield critically important information. For example, Hamburg pathologists found in the study described above (Reference 18) that among the first 80 consecutive full COVID-19 autopsies in that German state, only two of the deceased did not have serious comorbidities.
The remaining 78 may well have died from those comorbidities instead of the novel coronavirus. And it’s entirely possible, based on the information I’ve revealed in this rebuttal, that the autopsy information on the other two didn’t actually prove that they died of COVID-19.
Health Feedback’s masters the WHO, and in turn WHO’s financial backers Bill Gates and Big Pharma, wouldn’t be too happy with these facts, would they?

An Italian friend just emailed me this April 29, 2020, medical paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7190281/#CR5 ‘The autopsy debate during the COVID-19 emergency: the Italian experience’
It provides more support for my contention in ‘Error #9 – Claim 8’ that there was a very widespread prohibition against conducting autopsies in people deemed to have died of COVID.
Interesting, isn’t it, that the Health Feedback folks didn’t cite that medical paper.
Here’s the relevant sentence in that paper:
“On April 1, the Italian Ministry of Health published an official document on autopsies during the SARS-CoV2 epidemics [5]. Below is a summary of the main indications:
For the entire period of the emergency phase, autopsies or post-mortem diagnostic studies should not be performed in full-blown cases of COVID-19.”
Thanks a lot for your work!!! I just want to ask you a question: May you please tell us something about the catholic fact checker that Pope Francis began in january 2022?
I really enjoyed both your articles. I sent the link alobg to a friend, and he was very skeptical and sent me these links to prove how wrong you are:
https://www.sinobiological.com/research/virus/sars-cov-2-antibody
https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2020/05/21/enlisting-monoclonal-antibodies-in-the-fight-against-covid-19/
Can you comment on these? Have they actually found monoclonal antibodies for COVID 19?
AKM, may I suggest you read my article thoroughly if you haven’t already? My article gives you all the information you need to debunk those two links (and all others).
My brother-in-law, who had a mild case of atrial fibrillation, so mild he didn’t know he had it, was put on statins and warfarin. He developed thrombo embolism about 18 months ago. His medical specialists were mystified as to how/why since warfarin should have stopped clots. He can’t do a lot now, his lungs are damaged and he is gradually getting worse. How do we know how long this strange thing has been circulating? I have read of other quite fit people getting ill with a severe flu long before anyone heard of COVID19.
There’s lots to digest in that and too much that non specialists will not be able to make a lot of use of. Still, It’s good to see someone non establishment (or relatively non establishment) push back against the establishment – which is ruined, mentally and spiritually. I had it out with my GP here in Toronto. He’s not willing to let me have my opinions. We are oil and water. When he asks me to explain myself (when I disagree with him), he then shouts me down, cuts me off and disparages me with the label of conspiracy theorist. I feel assaulted when I talk to him. If you read this comment Rosemary, I live in Toronto and would love a fellow Torontonian who knows GPs in Toronto to recommend to me some whom I could visit for the purpose of discussing switching over to one of them. I… Read more »
Arby, if you wish you can message me via Twitter re a GP.
I will do that. Thanks! I do do Twitter, so I’m not familiar with it. I guess I can join in order to do this and then quit it. I don’t do social media. Later…
Rosemary. I did that, I think. Maybe you’re busy. But I also am lost on Twitter. I find Twitter to be too busy and bewildering. It doesn’t help that the buttons don’t have helpful text pop up when you hover over them. Even the help section needs a help section, in my view. Regardless, I appreciate very much your reaching out. (Your re-tweet about Ontario outright faking numbers of covid deaths was interesting. I don’t know whether that’s on a regular website, but that’s what I could use.)
Under Error #7 – Claim 6 (continued), major factor #7 states: “There are increased rates of vaccination in countries such as Italy where it is mandatory, leading to higher rates of death in the elderly.” There are two links included that unfortunately cannot be used as support for this statement. In the first link, which deals with Italy’s mandatory vaccination program, ALL the mandatory vaccinations in Italy are for children. At the present time, there are no mandatory vaccines for older people. The second link refers to a study in Great Britain, NOT Italy, which says that mortality and hospitalisation rates do not decrease for vaccinated adults over 65. It does NOT say that either mortality or hospitalisation rates significantly INCREASE due to vaccination. As sympathetic as I am to Frey and Corbett’s arguments, the obvious lack of rigour with respect to this point, where I happen to have a… Read more »
Thanks for finding these apparent errors, klipfisk. I didn’t at all intend to deceive (although I don’t think you’re saying I was intending to deceive readers), but I do seem to have been sloppy on that point. I worked hard to cover a lot of ground and get everything right (and linking to my sources, primary sources as much as possible), but looks like this one slipped through the cracks.
I’ll look into it further. I’ll do more research on this point and report back in the next day or so on whether there are better references(s) to support this point or whether I was completely incorrect.
Thank you Rosemary, and of course I did not think that you had any intention of deceiving us. Your integrity is very much appreciated!
Hi klipfisk,
I’ve checked and indeed you’re correct – I can’t find studies that back up my assertion that higher mortality in elderly in Italy was linked in some way to higher rates of vaccination in that population. I’ll ask the editor if he can put some sort of note / correction in the article.
“Italians are still trying to understand why Bergamo is the epicenter of the epidemic. One factor may be that the city was vaccinated en masse, not once but twice, in the 2 months preceding the outbreak there.” – Alexis Bugnolo (writer) c. 2020-07
I don’t have the link.
I found the link for that quote: https://fromrome.info/2020/03/27/was-the-winter-flu-vaccine-pre-designed-to-promote-a-coronavirus-epidemic/ It continues: In the fall, according to records 141,000 doses of vaccine against the winter flu were administered by the local health board. Of those, 129,000 were Italians over 65 years of age. Of those, 129,000, 70% had grave heart problems. …It is reported that the anti-influenza vaccine administered at Bergamo was Vaxigrip Tetra, a product of Sanofi Pasteur, the same pharmaceutical company which is working on a vaccine for coronavirus! Vaxigrip Tetra is referred to in the Ministry of Health’s Publicity for the winter flu vaccine as a quadri-potent vaccine containing 4 strains of H1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses …It remains, therefore, of scientific possibility, that Bergamo, the epicenter for the Coronavirus epidemic, in Italy, and currently in the entire world, was prepared for susceptibility, wittingly or unwittingly. …The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has their fingerprints on every aspect of the Corona epidemic. And yes, their Foundation on October 29,… Read more »
A very belated thanks very much Clem!
Flu vaccine: There is no evidence that it prevents the *transmission* of or complications for flu. The evidence seems to discourage vaccination in healthy adults as a routine public health measure [Cochrane Collaboration meta-analysis of published studies, 2010 which it reiterated in 2014]. In fact, repeated annual vaccination reduces resistance to at least certain variants [US CDC research 2014-09]. The overwhelming majority of published research shows that getting an annual flu vaccine can actually increase your risk of contracting flu or flu-like illnesses. The vaccine increases the risk from covid-19 [US military “study: 2020-01]. The vaccine increased transmission of the virus by >6 times through breath [research in US PNAS, 2018-01-18]. The vaccine is sold with warnings on potential effects: immune, allergic, muscular, respiratory, skin, vascular, neurological and psychiatric diseases. E.g. convulsions, narcolepsy and Guillen-Barre Syndrome. Cochrane Collaboration emphasised the lack of evaluation for GBS. The warnings mention the lack… Read more »
Rosemary, under Error Eight, Claim 7 you quote the Ontario Ministry of Health: “When the vaccine is well-matched to the strains circulating in a particular flu season it can prevent the flu in up to 60% of the overall population”. But flu vaccines are nowhere near as helpful as that. The Ontario Ministry of Health seems to have confused absolute and relative risk. For instance, from a 2018 Cochrane Systematic Review, “Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults” (link at end):- “Healthy adults who receive inactivated parenteral influenza vaccine rather than no vaccine probably have a 1% lower risk of experiencing influenza over a single influenza season (2.3% versus 1%) (moderate certainty evidence). That is, the *absolute* risk reduction is just over 1%. Basically, in this scenario, if you don’t vaccinate you can expect 2.3% of people to come down with flu; if you do vaccinate everyone you might expect… Read more »
I don’t know what data the MOH use to arrive at their 60% figure. It doesn’t seem, though, that they got it from that Cochrane Review paper. Because saying ‘it can prevent the flun in up to 60% of the overall population’ is very different than saying there’s a reduction from 2.3% to 1% (for a relative decrease of 43%).
I wrote that section of the article fast because I was under a time crunch, and also because there’s so much that’s already been written about the problems with vaccines in general and with the vaccines ostensibly being developed against Covid in particular.
If I’d spent more time I could’ve found a stronger statistic to show the uselessness of flu vaccines, and also would’ve added info on how the dangers of flu vaccines far outweigh their benefits.
Heart-breaking. Things have become so evil, it feels unreal. Thank goodness for Whistle Blowers.
Health workers and government are conspiring to kill grandma, not to save her.
Under cover of applauding the NHS and flattening the curve to protect the elderly, the agenda was always to get society comfortable with euthanasia.
Killing people by starvation and dehydration or by stopping their breathing. How progressive and technocratic.
This lady calls it murder. I agree.
I used to be a care worker with the elderly back in the 1980s. It sounds schmaltzy, but it was a great honour to spend time with them and hear their rich life stories, to assist them in their daily lives, and generally just to be around them. It was over thirty years ago, and there were well over fifty ‘clients’ as Social Services called them back then, but I still recall each and every one of them. This breaks my heart.
Sadly these staff and officials are doing exactly what Bill Gates described in one of James Corbett’s videos:
Summing up the cost of those few extra years of life – and deciding those people aren’t worth it. David Rockefeller could have six heart transplants because, I guess, he paid for it. So he bought his right to a few extra years.
Just watched the video. Let me get this straight – care homes are being used as killing factories and the modus operandi is controlled neglect. Subsequent deaths are recorded as death from coronavirus?
It’s beyond comprehension.
Remember these parts of the capitalist mantra: productivity, efficiency, cost-cutting. The inmates are not productive.

Bad news from sunny France: from the direct experience of friends, people are wearing masks outdoors, even where it is not compulsory yet (more and more towns are making them compulsory outdoors, but its still in most of the country the mask is only compulsory indoors, not outdoors), even in villages. The mask is making people disconnect from their surroundings, so people are not seeing whats around them, they dont see you, they dont see signs you may be putting up against the measures, they just past them. They are living in their own little bubble, which has become restricted to their bodies. The problem in France is all dissenting people are being oriented to one site, and there is no voice that has clearly stated there is no pandemic. That site (which is likely controlled anti-narrative) and the general anti-narrative attitude is mainly: there was a pandemic, and its… Read more »
Those who didn’t lift a little finger to inform themselves (and tv doesn’t count) deserve the ruined lives they are now living. The problem for the minority who care (and caring is knowing, as I always say) is that we now have to endure their abuse as they proceed to fill up their empty lives with covid 19, becoming amateur government (fascist government) agents, in Randolph Bourne’s words.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way—in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
That reminds of me of the dutch women who had their heads shaved and were tarred and feathered for sleeping with German soldiers at the end of the war.
Antifa is pro fascist. Only in Covid 1984! But really, Those women should not have been there, supposing that they were for real.
Have you got any reason to suppose they weren’t “for real”?
I didn’t say they weren’t. Give me a reason to suppose that they are for real. That’s what I’m asking for.
I’ve seen a lot of fake stuff over the last decade or so, but these two women look real to me. And there were a lot of people with cameras so it would have been difficult to control any sort of fakery. Here’s a different camera:
Re: “Those women should not have been there.”
Apparently, it’s where they live. It’s THEIR neighbourhood.

Neighbors confront destructive Portland protesters, get splattered with paint

On the second night of vandalism outside the Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct, two neighbors stood up against protesters responsible for the destruction.
Thanks for the info.
The woman’s heart is in the right place and her courage is inspiring, but she’s misled about BLM.
A government report provides an estimate of the how many people died (and will die) as a result of the lockdown measures. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/907616/s0650-direct-indirect-impacts-covid-19-excess-deaths-morbidity-sage-48.pdf
The authors of the report are, for obvious reasons, at pains to minimise the lethal effects of the lockdown. Yet, they cannot but acknowledge that the lockdown measures killed tens of thousands of people and will continue to kill people into the future. Moreover, they also are forced to acknowledge that the lockdown measures were more lethal than the virus when measured by the standard quality adjusted life years.
The report is dated 15 July 2020, but like the earlier 8 April 2020 report, it has been kept very quiet.
There is no evidence of a pathogenic virus so how can a fantasy have caused any deaths? Deaths were caused by the injection cult poisoning people and causing terror. The definition of SARS and Corona or Covid-19 states that atypical pneumonia is considered to be the disease characterizing the disease. If known pathogens can be detected in pneumonia, pneumonia is said to be a typical, if not an atypical one. One of two factors that are decisive for the SARS and the corona crisis is that at least 20–30% of all pneumonia is atypical. The causes of atypical pneumonia are very well known and therefore must NOT be given as the cause of an unknown virus.This fact is suppressed by infectious diseases and virologists and is the basis of current anxiety generation and panic, because it gives people, the general public and politicians the impression that atypical pneumonia would be… Read more »
I don’t need entertainment. I need information. If one comes at the expense of the other… I am not a fan of Alex Jones’s type presenters. I’m not saying being robotic. You can always quip and smile and frown, etc.. But it’s like spice. Is a food super spicy so you can’t tell how bad it is or because the chef just really likes spice? I don’t want to have to guess.
I was not aware of this and very surprised they would have bothered with a extensive report on the lock down consequences.
As I see it’s 188 pages and needs a bit of time aside to comb through the pertinent stats but what’s the simplified conclusion?
Have they included in the likely hood of excess deaths from hospital surgical appointments and cancer patients and potentially people unable to get diagnosed as of a result of the cancellations?
Any ball figures of the Numbers of dead potential that they are guess-timating from the lockdown specific?
Changes to emergency care estimated to cost QALYs 147 000.
Care homes estimated at 10 000 deaths.
Changes to mental health estimated to cost QALYs 21 000.
Changes to primary care estimated to cost QALYs 3 500.
Impact of social distancing estimated to cost QALYs 134 000.
Impact of reduced economy estimated to cost QALYs 157 000.
Yes, the COVID “holding pattern” is keeping firm i.e. the permitted stage for public inspection has shrunk to a tiny little corner. All attention on the “safest” mask to wear, how to tie them, how – and how often – to wash various parts of your anatomy, how close to go towards people, how many people you are allowed to meet, how many items of regular media discourse can be refashioned for “COVID presentation”, what items of regular media discourse will have to be forever relegated to the dustbin etc.
Meanwhile – lots of shuffling going on in the background – but move along now, there’s nothing to see here!

Toby, thank you so much for your reply. That’s a huge relief. Goodness will prevail. I read this in a different article: [The lawyer was charged for incitement yesterday, with her attorney sounding the alarm bell over her treatment. “I shouldn’t have to add Bahner’s claims of very grave abuse have untoward connotations of the darkest chapters of German history,” he said. “The mere fact she claimed to have been so badly abused was what prompted me to write to you. Bahner is in the company of over 50 well-known experts in criticising the nationwide lockdown; I would be glad to furnish you with a list of their names. If it really is the case lawyers critical of government measures can now be intimidated using the state legal apparatus or psychiatry, and can be professionally and socially destroyed, then it is five minutes to midnight in this country.” Bahner has won three cases… Read more »
She’s a heroine of the highest order.

Since this COVID thing began, the media have gone into a “holding pattern” whereby real news has been marginalised or even blocked. Somewhere out there the real world is proceeding with all manner of changes thanks to COVID and yet these changes have been relegated to a kind of “privileged space” where the “professionals” will decide what happens. In the meantime, the public has been transformed into a completely inert mass who are called on to just sit tight and obsess over the minutiae of face mask protocol etc. And the cherry on the cake is that “the Left”, who you would usually expect to be the first to object and recommend definite action, are the first to fully back up this COVID protocol. Indeed, the moment anyone queries the situation, this “Left” leap on them and denounce them for being “Right”!
I do believe you are quite correct!
I am seeing it daily…the detractors are denounced as the “right” while the conformers are the “left”.
Is this how the Stasi was formed?
The “left” is now the neoliberal progressives?
The germ theory is based on politics. For the right the germ is the left and for the left the germ is the right. The public are pursuaded it it is the germ that is the problem rather than their own actions or inactions. That they choose to read and watch obviously dodgy media with nothing beneficial to offer. That they participate in the abuse of animals and eat cooked stodge devoid of life force. That they hand over money to sponsor wars killing children. It is the terrain that is what matters not the outer delusions of germs. People can very easily learn how to live in paradise and take control of their own health and future.
That, then, is a fake Left. Which means that those people are rightwing.
But the professionals who decide what happens still enjoy their very large salaries and super – especially the public health officials and politicians. How can they possibly understand the terror of a future where just to pay the rent and buy food will be an enormous challenge?

The symbolism is striking, the message: don’t speak those words. The come at him like the living dead. If COVID don’t getcha, the police will. They know they are being filmed. It was all over the web. Who is listening and who instructs police to pounce? In my experience from student demonstrations years ago, police never listened. Somebody probably took names and monitored – but now certain words trigger police incoming. Just like the trolls online.

Moneycircus, one main issue here is the woman who alerted the police. No one forced her to, but she did. If you read how Germany became a police state in 33, you see the same thing as today: the police, or Gestapo, were very few to begin with, and did not have to power to coerce people. Basically the people did more than they were asked to do, they all denounced each other, schoolteachers, headmasters and so on took it on themselves to change the behaviour of the people. And the other thing is as laws changed, whatever particular persons may have thought of the policies, they abided the law, because its to do the ”right thing” to abide the law. Hitler’s coup d’état did not require force. The later coercive state could come into being precisely because the vast majority participated in some way in bringing it about. That… Read more »
hope, the “Mark of the Beast” quotation is a warning against tyranny. It may be historical, it may be allegory, it may be prophecy but its meaning is clear. That makes it powerful. Whether or not you believe in God, those words have a clear meaning in our present circumstances. The Mark of the Beast is common in popular culture. The quote is an Internet meme. It is no longer some obscure religious text. It exists beyond and outside the Book of Revelations. A non-believer will interpret the words in the same way as a maker of microchips or an authoritarian. The words are powerful because they animate people.

Regardless of the fact I discarded my roots, I am fascinated by the book of Revelation. I have read that there is a belief John, exiled on the Isle of Patmos, was under the influence of some mind-altering substance when he wrote it, and it is not difficult to imagine that upon reading it. We are likening this current situation to 1984, but perhaps Revelation is not so far from the truth either. Flee to the hills, I say again!
… under the influence of some mind-altering substance…
That is a commonly stated viewpoint. It might be asked though, what other comparable works of literature have been produced by that method? But I suppose for an unbeliever to accept the book’s opening statement (that it was the “Revelation of Jesus Christ”) would not really be an option.
You might have to ask Timothy Leary about other writings under the influence of LSD. And of course believers attribute this to a divine hand: I am not disputing this. I don’t think I have come across an atheist’s opinion – e.g. Richard Dawkins.
There certainly is something going on. Since these people do not possess the requisite testicles, they don’t have the guts to come right out and tell us what they are really up to. We can safely put the cronyvirus story to bed. It was a crock of shit from the beginning.
At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if The Age just made up that quote from that “family member”.
Now that’s a good point.
The corporate media could indeed incite the readers with an underhanded fake quote from a “family member”
How mundane and edible is that?
Indeed, everything is possible given they’re now using people to control the dissent, and the anti-narrative. This would then be a means to create the behavioural change that we denounce one other, and to make people abide the law without realising that a legislative change can in itself be a coup d’etat.

That’s why the controlled opposition is so intent on defending the virus theory. If its not covid then the flu is for sure caused by a virus. They need to maintain the fear that gets people to forget all other considerations and the virus fantasy is at the core of maintaining that fear.

‘We are the fact checkers. We decide which facts we are going to check up on and which factoids we will let slip under the radar. We are very mindful of the fact that our funders will not appreciate us showing any of them up in a bad light, so opinions which are critical of our funders will always be subject to ascerbic ‘fact checking’.’ That is about the long and the short of it. Gates funds the fact checkers, he funds the UK Government advisors who have been so cretinously incompetent. He funds the WHO, which has modelled its Covid19 actions on the IPCC’s ‘settled science’ approach to politics. So who out there is NOT funded by Gates who is prepared to fact check every assertion, right and often wrong, put about by that billionaire who equates his monetary power with competence in healthcare? It is not exaggerating to… Read more »
Gates seems to have bought every UK politician too, including Nicola Sturgeon.
Non-stop sales pitch is what you get from these creeps. They realized in the early 2000’s that these engineered pandemics meant the creation of an entire constellation of economic opportunity- that’s the story and it’s out there for anyone who wants to look.
Can someone fact check this interview:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-vaccine-bill-gates-multiple-doses/
When nobody else has any integrity left, Rhys, your own integrity must be in eternal doubt on every single assertion you may care to make.
“There were 61 new cases in Preston in the week to August 4, the equivalent of 42.6 cases per 100,000 people – up from 21.7 per 100,000 in the previous seven days.”
That’s not even half of 1%. Total insanity.
‘Cases’. Were they actually ill, or just testing positive for some coronavirus or other using antibody- or PCR tests?
A ‘case’ can mean someone who feels perfectly healthy. Yet someone who’s dying of cancer will be neglected.
I did have a bird called ragieregdub. Very sexy bird, I used to launch her from my feet, She used to lay eggs, She could fly and was a lot faster than “Whisky” my cat..then some idiot opened the window, and she flew off determined to find a male budgie and make more budgies. Personally, whilst Breadfan is very good, and well I reckon Geddy Lee copied at least some of Burke Shelley – both play bass guitar and both sing really well… My wife on hearing this, just walked into my coven – my back room with all the toys and the mess… She says her favourite is “In For The Kill” – I said they won’t like that..

lol no. there is no such thing as covid so how can there be covid restictions? absolute nonsense. There is social closening regulations to help recover from the lockdown crime.
These are just drills to get everyone sufficiently prepped for the upcoming compulsory vaccination purge.
When the population has been completely reprogrammed and made obedient then restrictions will lift and vaccinations will be sucked up by the braindamaged victims.
An easy intro to the psyop on this site.
https://nofakenews.net
We knew they would be be doing this ever since the “lockdown” meme started. Their plan is blatantly obvious and the longer this aberrant behaviour continues the more people will realise that this is indeed a scam fabricating their *deadly virus” agenda . The sheep will begin to realise what awaits them when the roundup begins .

They won’t take any notice from me, and I ain’t far off 70. On the plus side, I think I will last longer than them. The stupid b@stards won’t move. They are glued to their TV screens “40% of their waking time” They don’t get any exercise. They don’t go outside. They don’t need any 5G – that won’t have much effect. and much to my embarrassment, I am beginning to agree with Gordon Duff, and I reckon he nicked my graph. I posted it here first.

I am not far off that view myself.

Most of these folk are doomed and think if there’s any real long term damage from this through Vaccines or lockdown o mental health It’s your own fault. This is survival of the fittest You don’t get a manual to tell you all the death traps and deceiving and gaslighting that’s being used. You use your intuition and intelligence to figure that out.

At last we are going for a few days peaceful camping, where no loud music is allowed at all, and you are only allowed to talk quietly around the campfire after 10pm – which is allowed – they will even sell you the wood…(we have been there before) So if I am in the mood to do it, on the final morning, at about 9:00 am , as we are packing to leave, if I am feeling wicked, which I probably will be, if I see anyone wearing a mask, I may put this on extremely loud. Even I am amazed at the undistorted volume of the sound system, that came in my old car. I am not allowed to do this at home.. This is LOUD. It’s The Heavy from Bristol.

Excellent article but unfortunately it’s structure in most part precludes it from becoming effective deprograming tool for those millions who are slowly waking up from torpor, making their first baby steps out of matrix of COVID cult and out of believing in COVID dogmas. Much more effective way to achieve such a goal than precise rigorous and tedious scientific elaboration only few can grasp in such concise form presented step by step destroying credibility and legitimacy of COVID cult “revealed” assertions would be blatant attack on self declared blanket credibility, legitimacy of rendering authoritative judgment in supposed interest of public , and expertise on all subjects including COVID phenomenon claimed by fact checkers and pointing out huge irreconcilable conflicts of moneyed and ideological interests making Fact Checkers merely proxies for representing vested interests of COVID propagandists in politics, Wall Street and medical establishment far from what they claim to be,… Read more »
I have consciously tried numerous and varied tactics. The one that has worked the best by far is to open up with a question, listen to their answer and then give what is the actual answer for in virtually every encounter the answers given are way off target. I do this numerous times a day and the one fact that currently seems to be working to open up eyes and mind is the average age of “death from Covid” and how this exceeds normal longevity in the countries mentioned. I open up by asking what they think the average age is and the answer normally given is around 50-60 years old. When I tell them (and list off countries) that it is 81 with 2 or more comorbidities they are always surprised and most often curious. This opens up more pathways. If I were to go into, “Does Covid even… Read more »
Judging from this and other articles I’ve read, plus a video by James Corbett specifically refuting the “Fact Checkers,” I get the impression both “fact” checking and refutations of “fact” checking is more about form than content. It all seems to boil down to a “He said, She said” controversy, with the actual “facts” being discussed coming in a close second.
Perhaps that’s how it must be; but the lay person comes away thinking “I still don’t know any more than I did when I started.”
Why are the police exempt from wearing face masks?
I’m glad of this, personally. Imagine how inhuman they might become.. I’m quite sure many of them see this for the farce it is.
What scares me most, is that most people know this is a fake ‘plandemic’.
80% of the people I’ve chatted with when I’ve been out have voiced the same opinion: “the masks thing is garbage” said one. “This is a giant hoax” said another.
The Gov knows we know, but is pushing ahead with fascism regardless. And the fake Left who’ve spent decades waving their socialism flags (George Galloway, Owen Jones, The Morning Star, the SWP, WSWS, the Labour Party, the unions) have gotten into bed with the commandants.
I spoke with an old mate earlier who said he knows he can get an exemption from wearing a muzzle on the bus cos he’s asthmatic but he does it anyway to make people feel better… I don’t wish to argue with such an old friend.. I’ve sent him info… it’s depressing there is nothing you can say to some people.. all one can do is keep uncovered and smile. It takes a lot of energy.
PS the MU were quick to support musical silence in support of BLM (including the support of a list of various organisations including trans activists, natch, etc.) and similar because Wiley said something terrible apparently… no-one canvassed memebers for their opinion… and they never replied to my message months ago about when they were gonna stand up to the tyranny which basically made being a live musician illegal.. that’s just the unions.. essays could be written about the likes of Owen Jones…
Just to tediously point out my usual:
There is no evidence of isolation of SARS-CoV-2
There is no evidence of any virus causing COVID-19
This is a psyop (which would never in a million years have any use for a real virus) and the evidence points to it from a number of different angles loud and clear.
https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/blog/coronavirus-hoax-jan-2020
I don’t mean to suggest people aren’t getting sick or dying just that it’s from all the usual reasons, not any special virus.
There is/was a virus, but it is nothing more than an ordinary virus that is now measured and of which the positive result is called ‘Covid19’, while we used to call that flu or common cold. For the rest I am in full agreement with you (that Covid19 is used as a psyop)
Where’s the evidence of a special virus, Willem, if:
— there is no evidence of isolation of SARS-CoV-2
— there is no evidence of the alleged SARS-CoV-2 causing the infectious disease, COVID-19?
There is no special virus. There is a new technique (quite faulty, yet with some sensitivity) of testing for common cold/flu. That’s all.
Hasn’t been isolated properly yet
Or met the 4 Koch postulates yet
Great way to put it, Willem.

‘ He who is silent is taken to agree.’
I agree. But I also agree with ‘when the truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie’
Isn’t it the problem that opinion that challenges the narrative (and there is plenty of that) is silenced?
I also agree with ‘actions speak louder than words’
Remaining question: what type of action is needed? So far, my action is
– not to follow the narrative,
– boycott all institutions, colleagues and friends who are with the narrative (since I already gave them plenty of homework by means of sceptical Covid articles for institutions, and sceptical questions about the covid mania for friends and colleagues).
– make friends with anyone who is not taken in the covid scam (plenty of people to chose from)
But that works in NL for now. Not sure what to do if you live in Melbourne…
Impossible to leave without a watertight reason as all the state orders are patrolled by power hungry police who mean business.
“Staying Apart Keeps Us Together”
Orwell must be spinning so fast he’ll be burrowing towards the centre of the Earth!
All of the above is fascism. The woman who snitched on the anti-mask protest might have doubts herself when she’s forced to take vaccines for life or risk losing her liberties and rights.
Hi Moneycircus
Pubs, cafes and restaurants are not open. 6 week closure except for takeaway. These businesses basically haven’t been open fully for 3 of the last 4 months.

HealthFeedback.org are amongst a growing number of well-funded mouthpieces of vested interests that try and obscure facts in the way Big Tobacco once tried to obscure the links between cigarette-smoking and lung-cancer.
One of the newest is NewsGuard (newsguardtech.com) which certainly guards you against news – and guarantees pure, genuine propaganda!
The facts around covid no longer matter the myth has been sold to the sheeple . That fiction is fully serviced by our rulers and their minions . It will only become more draconian as the fall flu season approaches.
Could people be so gullible? That is a question for me, but also a question for them!
Anyone who takes 2 minutes for himself can shred the covid narrative in 1000 pieces. That must trouble the narrative makers..
Was it Einstein who mused “one should never underestimate the limits of human stupidity” ?
I don’t think it troubles them at all. They wouldn’t have made the narrative if they had thought it might cause trouble. They know their sheeple well.
My personal hunch is that countless millions of people know this is all baloney, but they don’t dare to rock the boat by speaking out.
I agree but people need to start speaking out now.
They must speak the truth and back it up with facts.
Once people stop complying the madness stops.
Isn’t the problem that the people who could effect change are not listening to people who speak the truth? How can we change THAT?
The facts are indeed the facts, but our parasitic so-called representatives don’t want to look at them.
The self proclaimed Fact Checkers are on their face dishonest. They claim to be checkers of factual accuracy, but what they actually do is decide issues of judgement, rather than matters of fact. And issues of judgement are just that: reasonable people, who do not disagree about any relevant facts, can (and often do) disagree about the judgement that one reaches on the basis of the relevant facts. If the fact checkers were just fact checkers, there would be no problem and they would be providing a valuable public service. But the fact checkers could not care less about actual facts; what they care about is bolstering official narratives.
Thanks for this, especially the revelations about who is funding science fact-checkers. I should have guessed! My own account takes a different tack: I fact-checked the individual scientists who freely volunteer their expertise to ClimateFeedback.com (a subsidiary site of fact-checkers ScienceFeedback.com) after a close friend used them to rubbish claims by expert critics of ‘climate crisis’. In 2019, about 600 climate experts officially petitioned the UN to listen to sceptics and not just constantly platform alarmists like teen activist Greta Thunberg. They provided cogent reasons and arguments why talking about ‘crisis’ is absurd. But Climatefeedback experts claimed these knowledgeable experts and their message that ‘there is no climate emergency’ were either fools or frauds. Not once did they condemn the teen activist with no scientific training and whose parents and friends are all firm believers in extreme left group Antifa. Suspicious, I analysed all scientific stories rubbished by Climatefeedback (around… Read more »
Climate crisis and COVID-19 “pandemic” are diametric opposites which should never be lumped together. The creme de la creme of ALL “facts” being floated by the media and checked by any and every one is the always noted but never refuted “Follow The Money” (to which, of course, one may add “And The Power”). Global elites have already profited handsomely from the “pandemic” (in the US alone to the tune of trillions) – and it’s still in its infancy. But apart from the Green New Deal scam, there is if anything the potential to lose money, not gain it, from the climate crisis. Fossil fuel is the premier culprit; but until the “pandemic” replaces Big Oil with Big Pharma as Numero Uno in the world, Big Oil still rules the roost. (I refrain from allotting the Military Industrial Complex top place simply because it subsumes almost every other industry.) Therefore,… Read more »
The climate crisis has validity because big pharma hasn’t taken over from big oil yet? Not quite resounding proof methinks. Big Money owns them all, including Big Climate. They don’t care what they put their big money into as long as they have all the money and can make anything they want Big.
Big Money proposes; nature disposes. For years, decades, centuries, even millennia humans have ravaged the planet. It is naively optimistic to presume such ravaging has had no effect on planetary cycles. It matters not what Big Money, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Climate say or do; all that matters is the accumulated effect on the planet. If one accepts that human activities are so benign and insignificant as to pose no problem, then of course one must reject not only the tenets but also the gauged readings of climate science. If, however, one accepts that human activities are anything but benign and insignificant, then one must reject the notion that there’s nothing to see here. More than 2000 nuclear devices have been test exploded. If radiation were essentially insignificant, then it would seem Earth’s magnetosphere is Much Ado About Nothing. Whereas the magnetosphere can keep solar radiation from entering the… Read more »
Guaged readings of climate science? If you had a look at Tony Heller’s Real Climate Science, you’d see how “guaged” they are. Raw data, not cherry picked and 20th century newspaper article reproductions tell the story.
Have you realised government policy is being determined by the unproven alarmist lobby in science?
The thing is, government policy is neither proof nor disproof of any particular phenomenon. Any sane person understands, e.g., that dumping toxic material into waterways is bad – yet the current government policy in the US is to allow such dumping.
Government policy is determined by lobbyists only to the extent that the lobbyists represent the wishes of the ruling class.

“Deadly virus”, and not one statistic relating to age groups and co-morbidities. The insanity is laid bare when public servants begin the groupthink mentality and assume that instant death is inevitable if we stray from the duplicitous narrative. Interesting to note that a vaccine solution is not mentioned ….yet.
Nazi style totalitarianism in Melbourne. Draconian measures enacted around the world. Politicians silent. The ruling class are testing the waters.
When will socialists wake up and realise lockdown is not about public health?
I am a Socialist in the spirit of Eugene Victor Debs. I am here. Unfortunately there are not many of us left.
Same here.
While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.
Eugene Debs
I often claim to be the last king of Scotland , unfortunately few agree with me , unless I’m buying their beer..
From what I’ve read and him, Eugene Debs was impressive. That he was an American within the ‘American Dream’ is all the more remarkable. I’m not surprised he was thrown in jail by the establishment.
At times i believe i’m the last king of Scotland unfortunately most folks don’t share my opinion ?
Not claiming to be royalty.
PS That also is against the Socialist principle of EQUALITY.
People are, however, not equally stupid.
That fact has to be reckoned with.
Socialism was never about Equality in any of socialisms various iterations . It is simply an improvement of capitalistic management systems , which produce an illusion of equality in unionized workplaces.
When will they wake up and realise that those who say HCQ offers great hope (and prove it with masses of evidence) are not in fact Satanic or evil Trump supporters?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/jail-fauci-massive-international-study-shows-countries-early-hcq-use-79-lower-mortality-rate-huge-talking-120000-american-lives/
I know people who would rather die than be cured by hcq stuff just because Trump suggested it. Actually they would sneak some when no one was looking,I bet.
The CORPORATE FASCISTS are doing this because THE PEOPLE are not fighting them.
“This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
~ Frederick Douglas, 1857
Unfortunately Eugene and Fred aren’t sacrificing billions of dollars to save them from the Apocalypse Virus of Satan which is going to turn them inside out.
Do you dislike the fascists more than the people?
It appears that so called socialist leaders are leading the charge on the vicious shared delusion that covid is deadly and extraordinary. Which to me belies another fiction , that socialism actually exists as a form of opposition to capitalism ?
Socialist leaders? Name one
Jeremy Corbyn if English Bernie Sanders if American .There are millions on that particular bandwagon.
You seriously call that socialism?
Corbyn and Sanders are both decent men, but the socialism which once existed goes much further than they ever could.
“Socialism-Lite” serves no purpose whatsoever, while Thatcher and Blair destroyed the blueprints for the real thing.
The” no true scotsman defense” , hardly original or helpful at this point? Socialism as you seem to envision it has never been successfully implemented ?
I am making no attempt to be “original”, but I considered it might indeed be helpful to remember what socialism once was, and no longer is.
For a start, my comment is no “defense”, as you call it, since I am not being attacked in any way, and therefore have nothing to defend myself against.
And I don’t understand how your last sentence relates at all to my comment. I most certainly did not say that.
The “no true scotsman defense” is a rhetorical device employed by fractious scots, mainly against each other, for centuries. ? I generally agree with your assessment of both Mr Corbyn and Sanders .But I have no idea how you would then define a modern socialist?
I was born very near Scotland, and know their ways well. When it comes to defining a modern socialist, however, I have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing. Money, and the pursuit of it, have turned what could have been decent socialism into just another form of capitalism – at least as far as any partisan representatation is concerned. But then most political “isms” get completely wrecked by the undermining of individual thought which results from their particular “ism”. People then lazily let the political group do their thinking for them, and that inevitably leads in a reverse evolutionary direction – one which is of no use to individuals at all and discourages them from pursuing their particular talent. There are few political groups today which can see clearly enough to be able to modify either socialism or capitalism to the point where they could serve… Read more »
Anyone who had followed politics in Vermont since the 1970’s knew what Bernie Sanders was. He was the waterboy for Benny and Jerry’s and Tony Pomerleau. Murray Bookchin even wrote a piece about him in 1986, “The Bernie Sanders Paradox: When Socialism Grows Old.” What a hack.
Amen! 😉
I don’t disagree but many would . I was responding to Basher in kind to his dismissive response.
Nevertheless Mr Sanders represents a flavor of socialism to millions of Americans in the context in which i referred to him. .
Neither are ‘leaders’ of anything. I guess you’re backtracking if you can’t actually think of one ‘Socialist leader…leading the charge on the vicious shared delusion that covid is deadly and extraordinary”
I’m in France though, maybe you could enlighten me as to who my Socialist leader “leading the charge on the vicious shared delusion that covid is deadly and extraordinary” is then?
I’d guess you are wrong and auditioning for the role of socialisms apologist as you define it ?
You made the comment. Just name ONE socialist leader.
In fact name one country, that is playing ball with WHO etc over this covid BS, that has a socialist leader. Just back your comment with evidence. Please. Just type the words….
I did not make that statement I responded to it and named 2 modern era socialists ! In fact I see no operational differences between modern socialists or capitalists , be they disciples of the redefined versions of Adam Smith or Karl Marx. Ms Thatchers TINA declaration is somewhat true it appears.
“so called socialist leaders”
Beware of fakes. Langleyland-CIA sites or operations spouting Corporate Fascist Propaganda BIG LIES but mixing in a little Marx, Engles, Lenin or Trotsky with “their spoutings” are not Socialist. They are charlatans and frauds.
MASK NAZIS of the World take off your masks and breath in the fresh air, as NATURE had intended. Send the children back to school. Do not mess up their minds or their futures.
Historically and logically, socialism can only exist after capitalism, never before it. This is because it is a political system and ideology that produces no wealth itself, only policies and laws to control those who do produce wealth. As far as possible, socialists take command over the means of production and the fruits of our labour, which they redistribute according to socialist ideals of the collective good. By contrast, capitalism can exist and thrive without socialism, because it is an economic system in which freely-agreed trade to mutual advantage is the foundation. It needs trust and freedom to function, and imposes no political agenda or ideological visions on the producers of wealth. How people use the wealth they create is their business, not the government’s. In sum, socialism is necessarily derivative of capitalism and dependent on it. Socialist regimes control and feed from our economic activity, but they never do… Read more »
Your first sentence contradicts the rest of your post? Both socialism and capitalism are aspects of materialism , now melded as a new global religion , based on the ideas that unlimited growth is possible and that the purpose of humanity is profit seeking through servitude . The notion that the masses must serve the few, aka slavery is the most stable state of human existence is taken for granted even by Marx..
When will revolutionary socialists, Marxists wake up to realize that lockdown is not about public health but about preemptive counterrevolution. It is about unifying oligarchic class via unprecedented FED bailout and powerful counteroffensive in class war waged by ruling elite for decades which only just a few years ago spurred unprecedented international working class struggle for unity in their class interests and self defense amid deliberate collapse of mainstream economy by Wall Street parasites and capitalism itself, trying to invent itself in a form of Green or COVID capitalism preserving calcified power structures and financial dominance while praising phony political radicalism.
All that is veiled by ideology of postmodernism, reducing politics to identity politics of division and neo-feudal socioeconomic relations of forced dependency on financial capital via commodification suffering of humanity.
WSWS IS STILL IN WINTER HIBERNATION.
I suspect WSWS, and many others are infiltrated and exist as controlled opposition and narrative management.
Years ago a number of people cautioned me about SEP. I sluffed it off to “sectarian rivalry.” Their website appeared reasonably intelligent, well written and following along the lines of the writings of Leon Trotsky. Although, they did not take critique or even mildly divergent views or discussion very well.
In light of the present situation, perhaps those who cautioned me about them were not that far off the mark after all. But in all honesty, PSL and Workers World are more or less lock step behind the corporate fascist viral infection pandemic BIG LIE as well. One may as well be reading pages from the Economist. Sad.
Mr Stalin a full time tyrant, who at times claimed he was also a socialist, had Mr Trotsky and millions of other dissenting voices silenced.
That was certainly Chestertons somewhat tongue in cheek estimation revolutionaries in the Victorian era
Marx was not a revolutionary socialist. Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao, and Castro initially were.
If the virus is so deadly, why is the government in England having to test over a hundred thousand people a day who are not ill in order to find cases?
Notice how THE ROYAL MAFIA CRIME FAMILY CONTAGION is still not under house/palace lockdown and arrest.

The Corporate Fascists are playing THE PEOPLE for chumps… and THE PEOPLE keep taking it.
East Kent Hospital Trust tested all 9000 workers recently and found 15 ‘positive’,possibly unsymptomatic and now self isolating!…..that’s ‘frontline’ staff!
Cos they want us all weeing ourselves at ‘Clusters’ (of test results) and ready to take THE VACCINE!
Combine all these measures with a systematic public information campaign stressing that things are not ‘back to normal’ yet, that premature removal of restrictions in the midst of a deadly pandemic threatens to squander all the sacrifices of lockdown and that strict compliance with restrictions now will make a full return to normality come sooner. The public messaging must be done in a culturally acceptable manner to reach all communities especially those that have been disproportionately affected such as the deprived and ethnic minority populations. When a vaccine will become available, it is unlikely to provide “sterilising immunity” and in any case is very unlikely to be provided to all individuals in the UK within the next year. So, collective punishment (aka local lockdowns) for another year at least. I agree that these people are almost certainly insane and are subject to a murderous group-think.

Objective‘s post below got hijacked into a meat argument. “So how do we protect free speech whilst protecting against lobbyist & activist groups subversion of democracy?” I don’t think you can protect free speech. You can only demand it and exercise it. Use whatever technology you like. The touchstone of free speech changes with the age. At one point it is religion, at another, pornography. Sometimes the Organs of State Security are opening letters, at other times emails, sometimes listening on street corners and in bars, but always they are promoting pliable mouthpieces to overshadow and crowd out the talented and opinionated – and that is the same whether you are working as a published author, within a news organization, a community organization or for a company. Means of distribution is essential. Newspapers emerged faster in Continental Europe than in England because of the repressive Tudor police state. The mass… Read more »
If you burn the rainbow flag (or the EU flag when in Germany), you are a bigot practising hate speech and risk severe punishment by the state. If you slander or burn the US or UK flag, it’s free speech and no punishment awaits you. Likewise, those who say ‘Britain first’ and oppose endless mass immigration are called dumb gammons or little Englanders, racists or white supremacists, and risk government surveillance and even arrest. But those who put the EU first or promote multicultural or Islamic Britain are enlightened, progressive heroes and never face social stigmatisation or arrest. I could go on. The point is that leftists should explain why ‘the system’ they say they hate because it oppresses us all protects the leftist haters of nations but punishes those who oppose their causes.
‘Britain first’ and oppose endless mass immigration are called dumb gammons or little Englanders, racists or white supremacists, and risk government surveillance

hijacked into a meat argument? Is that you trying to suggest my post was not PC enough for your liking? I even had Admin 1 calling me an hysterical idiot. lol. I suppose you were up in arms when the sun stopped printing page 3 models but hey the state of the media doesn’t have anything to do with the bacon sarnie eating publics taste for gutter journalism?

Patriots, freedom lovers, truth seekers and tellers, protectors of liberties, and seekers of justice, we call you to unite as one on 8th August 2020 at 2pm, at one of many locations, to speak your truths and take back your power and sovereignty

Leftists cannot unite anyone until they realise that burning national flags, hating patriots and independent nations is a fool’s game because it betrays their mission to talk of peace and tolerance, divides the plebs and so helps the global elites deepen their unaccountable rule over us all. Seek the truth, leftists. Patriots are driven by love, they are not the enemy. You can be leftist patriots who love all your people regardless of their political views, as did George Orwell. Face the truth: Intolerant leftists today only accept other leftists as their equals. Don’t be the useful idiots of the globalists who also hate independent nations and free peoples beyond their control.
I’ve spent the past 6 years or so tackling Big Chem which operates on very similar lines to Big Pharma, and often utilises the same people and institutions to push or protect its products, e.g. Imperial College, Burson Cohne & Wolfe, Sir Patrick Vallance, Matt Hancock. Most of the Big Chem people I deal with are kind of second level operators, not the very top of the pyramid. For want of a better word, I believe the top is in the control of psychopathic intentions that might as well be called mad. But the secondary level is occupied by people who aren’t necessarily evil or psychopathic themselves. Instead, they’re a mixture of half-beliefs, twisted “facts” and convoluted self-justification. In my area – flame retardants – there is a pattern, not a million miles away from vaccines which is that the FR industry puts out a new chemical they claim is… Read more »
Re: the industry’s claim that “vaccines equal good health”
They (the industry etc) don’t even claim that vaccines are “healthy”. Instead, they claim that vaccines are “safe and effective”. They don’t say: “healthy, safe and effective”. The term “effective” means that each vaccine prevents (or minimises) a specific illness. “Safe” means a low probability of defined adverse reactions within a narrow time interval. But the concept of “health” is entirely ignored.
You’re right. “Health” was my loose interpretation. Now I think about it the flame retardant industry also only claims safe and effective, not that they maintain good health (because of course they do the opposite). I think, though, the vaccine industry has been good at strongly implying that you will experience good overall health if you take their various concoctions at the right times.
You’re both right. To offer some corroboration from another angle: I’m in the USA, and my generally positive feelings about my primary care physician, Dr. L., have become problematic since the Megadeath Virus of Doom narrative and draconian government response was launched in March of this year. Dr. L. worked for a local well-regarded hospital (now “medical center”); several years ago he terminated his relationship as an employee of the hospital, and set up a so-called independent “concierge” practice. His new practice was still located in the hospital, so the transition was seamless and convenient for me, except that I now pay a hefty annual fee. I provide this background information because when he decided to leave the hospital-based practice warped by corporate oversight and control, he invited patients to a presentation in which he discussed his reasons for making the change, along with making a pitch for the pricier merits of… Read more »
Thanks. Great story, with a twist ending! But how does he equate “early detection” and “preventative measures” with heavy use of vaccines? Unless for him they’re part of the same.
Another vaccine scam area is with pets. I recently wanted to insure our cat but soon discovered it’s impossible unless you either agree to have it vaccinated on a yearly basis or pay for cover that does not include anything vaccines are alleged to prevent. I spoke to several vets’ offices and not one of them was able to explain why humans need only one vaccine shot for most things and it’s optional where life insurance is concerned but pets apparently need regular boosters (which just happen to coincide with the yearly check-up – double ker-ching! One assistant assured me this is because we’re different species . . .
Well, that’s the question. My best guess is that he was so effectively indoctrinated, conditioned, and programmed in medical school to uncritically accept the dogma that vaccinations are the equivalent of a “medical sacrament” that despite the better angels of his nature he still “believes” in them. BTW, fortunately I’ve been in good health this year– except, ironically, I had a nasty flu in January that I am certain was the dread COVID Megadeath Virus of Doom. It persisted to a point where I thought I might have a respiratory infection, e.g. acute bronchitis. But, having the typical male reluctance to “rush” to the doctor, I procrastinated and recovered without contacting him. Frankly, at the time I also wanted to avoid the prospect that he might sternly inquire whether I’d gotten the annual flu shot he always piously recommends. However, I have gotten occasional “boilerplate” e-mails from his office. Depressingly, they all conform to the… Read more »
Indoctrination . . . I think there are levels to this. For example, I deal with government experts who have been appointed to advise on various issues such the toxicity of fires, in particular Grenfell Tower, and covid-19 (although I’m not so directly involved in that). The highest-ranked one I suspect works fairly consciously in favour of Glaxo Smith Kline but the others are not so conscious about it. They seem to believe in their independence but suppress or are unaware of who they’ve really been brought in to support. For example, I recently took part in a discussion between the experts appointed to look in to the toxicity of Grenfell fire. I asked quite a few questions live but was not satisfied with the answers so followed up afterwards. One of the experts – just appointed as Chief Scientific Advisor to MHCLG (gov. department handling the Grenfell inquiry) –… Read more »
Thanks for this interesting and thoughtful response!
the effectiveness of a vaccine refers only to the creation of an antibody response rather than any real prevention of specific symptoms. In the case of flu vaccine for example the victims may be at increased risk of symptoms (due to poisoning) but the vaccine is effective because it acheived the stated goal (creation of an ‘antibody’ response) rather than what people assumed it was supposed to acheive.
According to big pharma and allies, HCQ is a dangerous risk even though only 20 people have possibly died from it since 1963, and it has saved many millions of lives. No-one ever feared HCQ before 2020 and wu-flu. But unnamed vaccines are now being promoted as no risk and healthy even though they aren’t even available yet! Talk about a dumb deceit. Can any posters here not smell the lies and the dollars?

Big Chem and Big Pharma share the non-criminal goal of making profits but also adopt similar tactics which are certainly unethical and/or criminal. A favourite includes corrupting the expert groups advising governments by stuffing them with industry stooges. These allies promote their employers’ solutions and rubbish rival or truly independent opinion. Public safety and future costs get ignored or hidden. But advisors and experts can also be controlled through fear. For example, many doctors and advisors trusted the Lancet research saying HCQ is a risk rather than a wonder drug for victims of covid19. Some still do, like the corrupt and incompetent WHO. Many trusted what was one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals. Then the research was exposed as fraudulent, as set up by Pharma giant Gilead to discredit HCQ and promote instead its very expensive Remdesivir, the ineffective new drug that will cost us taxpayers $3,200 per… Read more »
Thanks, I’ll check out your link. Need some help! I was just leaked some papers which show that the Dept. for Business (who is responsible for the UK furniture flammability laws) is secretly setting up a “experts” group with absolutely no due diligence. 8 of the 11 have close ties with the flame retardant industry and the other three are not exactly against them. Every stakeholder (including myself) who is against flame retardants has been excluded. But it’s difficult since, as you say, most of the research is controlled/paid for by Big Chem. Having said that in this case we have the government’s own published papers that prove the case against flame retardants but such is the lack of oversight on the doings of government departments, nothing changes.
with the massive amount of data now readily available to all about the coronavirus pandemic can somebody point me to one thing the government of the uk have done or change that reflects it’s a nonsense?
do we have ‘law’ in the traditional sense anymore in the uk?
to whom do the people turn to seek recourse for this tyranny?
how long are we going to leave it before real action is taken?
UK Government trusts industry data or MSM news, not the independent advice and free media outlets so widely available online. Government is less informed than the citizenry, so becoming a threat to the nation.
There you go again trying to use facts to prove a point of view. Truth is sedition Ignorance is strength Facts are meaningless. Emotion trumps facts The UKColumn has come under attack from these constructs called factcheckers. Think “checkers” as in “body checkers” a sporting term that is extremely apt. To “bodycheck” in sport you deny your opponent space, you block him all the time doing nothing overtly aggressive, you just happen to be in his way, blocking his progress. The gambling industry now calls itself the gaming industry. Game theory is said to be a very popular theory within the Cabinet Office, we are all being gamed. Just in case anyone hasn’t noticed, Parliament too has been told to go home, lock themselves away and not to worry about running the country. Big Mutha has control It is a time of peace. Our awesome weapons have guaranteed peace for… Read more »
Nice work on the etymology. Truth is a close synonym of light. Indeed, truth needs light. Yet look at the names of the fact checkers: NewsGuard. To guard the news. Where is it? In prison? Reality Check. Suggests the people don’t live in reality. Thanks, BBC. NoRumours FactsCan MetaFact FeedBack. Loop? I can’t find one with the name Open or Free in its title. Poynter says there are now about 200 such fact checker set-ups. Only the unobstructed light of day reveals whether the truth is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. In the light I can see what’s missing. If they De-Bunk something, taking the ‘bunkum’ out of it, what does that leave? All the good stuff, as the folksy Google Corporatists like to say? Not necessarily. I can tell you 5% of the full story and, while it may be true, the other 95% may be… Read more »
All fact-checkers I have looked at are defenders of established knowledge and privilege, like medieval clergy defending the established ‘truth’ that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Establishment authority and credibility depend on preventing criticism and new knowledge overturning their narratives. Today’s climate alarmists deny all challenge to their ‘facts’ that humans threaten nature and future, and their fact-checking will go to absurd lengths to peddle the scary story controlling their perceptions: our house is on fire! These fear-mongers do not realise that they are abandoning the scepticism and free thinking without which science and progress become impossible. This tragic illiteracy about science actually makes the fact-checkers anti-science, because the only ‘facts’ immune to scepticism are religious or ideological dogmas such as ‘God is good’, or ‘God doesn’t exist’, or ‘capitalists are evil’. By contrast, all scientific knowledge must always submit to criticism and scepticism to be scientific, because “science… Read more »
The Plandemic is about this:
1) Remove Trump
2) Reverse Brexit
3) Vaccinate and kill off large swathes of the population which think they are being helped.
4) Reset the fraudulent fractional reserve currencies around the world
Wake up people they are succeeding.
WRT the list of objectives, I would add that for those they deem sufficiently productive to survive the mass culling, the Davos Reset also includes a neo-feudal, AI control grid.
Re: “Wake up people they are succeeding”
Yes, there needs to be a lot more people who wake up to the reality of it all. However, the overall scam is a total train wreck. They were supposed to get Hillary in power by fixing the 2016 election. Staging a coup against a sitting President was never part of the original plan; and the ongoing failure of the various coup attempts is leading to a significant waking up.
Wake up people they are succeeding.says the voter !!! LOL
you cant be that brain dead
Imagine believing that ; Greta Thunburg is a scientist. George Soros is a philanthropist. Harold Shipman was a humanitarian. Bill Gates is a Dr. The UK/USA is a democracy. And masks and lockdowns are for our health and safety!
just as dumb you thinking plandemic is about trump and Brexxit ritual
trump has been a massive help during the process he speeded up there plan, he has mind controlled you and many others and to be honest that wasn’t that difficult….
The votters electors are the most easiest too be mind controlled
Wrong – Brexit is from exactly the same playbook as the coronavirus scam, led by the same people.
I’d include profiting from our fear and death, in terms of cash for the corporates, and power for their political allies. No wonder the corporates hate Trump, who as a billionaire businessman always boasted that he ‘could not be bought’. Haters should either falsify that claim or at least respect Trump as corporate foe if they cannot.
