The “Russian vaccine hack” is a 3-for-1 deal on propaganda
Apparently, that mean old Putin is stealing our magic vaccine to fight the “deadly virus”.
Kit Knightly
The Guardian, and all the other predictable voices, are currently reporting that Russian “state sponsored hackers” have been attempting to steal “medical secrets” from British pharmaceutical researchers.
At this stage they offer no substantiation, but it does serve as good teaching exercise in the techniques of modern propagandists.
First the lack of evidence. Observe the Guardian article, note the complete absence of sources or references. There’s not a link in sight. There’s no content there beyond the parroted words of UK government officials, whose honesty and/or competence is never interrogated.
Second, the lies by omission. They don’t mention, for example, the Vault 7 revelations from Wikileaks that the CIA/Pentagon have developed technology to make one of their own cyber-attacks appear to come from anywhere in the world, Russia obviously included. This is clearly vital information.
Third, the multitasking. When you splash a huge red lie on your front pages, it’s always best to make it serve several agendas at once. In fact, an unsupported statement which serves multiple state-backed narratives at the same time is one of the telltale signs of propaganda.
With this one completely unverified claim, the Guardian – or rather the people who tell the Guardian what to say – back up three narratives:
- The further demonisation of an “enemy”. Russia is portrayed as pursuing “selfish interests with reckless behaviour”, whilst we (and our allies) are “getting on with the hard work of finding a vaccine and protecting global health.”
- Promoting the vaccine. The vaccine is coming. It will likely be mandatory, it will certainly have been insufficiently tested, if tested at all. They need some pro-vaccine advertising, and nothing sells better than “our vaccine is so good, people are trying to steal it”.
- Most importantly – Enhancing the idea that Sars-Cov-2 is a unique global threat which puts us all in danger. The unspoken assumption is that Russia needs to steal our research because the virus is so dangerous we all need to be afraid of it…despite it beingharmless to the vast majority of people.
Whether it’s the (totally unsubstantiated) allegation that Russia put bounties on NATO servicemen in Afghanistan, or the (very predictable) “leak” that “Russian interference” was backing Corbyn in the general election, it’s clear that any Globalist deal on the coronavirus is dead and buried, and it’s very much open season on Putin’s Russia again.
Nothing shows just how much the Guardian has become the voice of the Deep State more than its coverage of anything Russia-related. And nothing serves as a better exemplar of how modern propaganda works.

“Moscow as Mordor”???!!!!! And look at that photo. Evil silhouette of Putin with menacing Sauron castle in background.
So – pulling out all the stops now! But perhaps this means that the interminable Hitler references are starting to pall? Well – you see, the generations come and the generations go and they’re all forgetting that Great WW2 Show. But Tolkien is still in the picture so we can recycle him instead.
And note the jaw dropping opening of the last paragraph:
No longer Moscow as Mordor. Moscow has become Mordor!
The Russian ambassador said “there’s no sense in the accusations”. The end.
You’re all very mistaken, the Russian are trying to get their dirty hands on everything we may have re c-19, Baron has it on more than solid authority, he talked to a source very close to the man in the Kremlin, some five inches close or less, it’s 96.3% certain it was Putin, so impressed was he by the results of the virus response in Belgium and Britain, he allegedly said ‘look, leave the Belgians alone, it’s mostly EU apparatchiks, millions younger ones are available in the EU members states, culling the old occasionally has to be done, but the British success one finds impressive, the 2nd place in the world mortality table guided by the science, now, that’s something totally different, there’s alot we could learn from it, go and heck what they have on the vaccine’. Would the KGB need more to jump? Of course not, they’ve… Read more »
I’m reading, but I’m visualizing the story almost in panels, despite myself, since it reads like a graphic novel.
One question not asked is, even if this hacking story were true, what harm would it do if the Russians knew the details of US research into COVID? If this virus really is as deadly as claimed, would it not be of benefit for the whole world to share information on how to work on a cure?
Scientists (that is genuine scientists) publish their knowledge; they do not keep it secret. If it is kept secret, it isn’t science.
Ah, yes, but how could you maintain the propaganda that the Russians are Satan himself if they appeared to be interested in doing something for the benefit of the whole world…?
Thats what’s always been so ridiculous and transparent about fascist propaganda, or just plain western (corporate) overall, you have to accept the utter selfishness of the slant to even get it.
That is what is so hilarious about the whole “scoop”. They are so confused by their own stratagems, theyre unaware that if this really is Bubonic 2.0 as it’s been pitched by the scandalized, they should really almost have to explain why they don’t want to share breakthroughs, as is.
Did I miss something? Shouldn’t they apologize for not expediting a joint effort? Instead of crying “foul”?
All so ridiculous.
Yes, but you’re looking at it from a common sense, not profit-motivated, standpoint.
The guardian has to be system conform or they will be hounded like Associated Press under Tom Curley was. Better them than nothing at the moment.
We need plenty of vaccines.
That was not in the print edition, Angela Merkel’s interview, end of June:
“Indeed, the example of China shows that even an undemocratic state can be economically successful, which is a major challenge for our liberal democracies. Then came the challenge of Islamist terrorism, particularly the attack on the United States of 11 September 2001. Add to this the disappointment that followed the Arab spring. In short, we have not yet been able to furnish absolute proof that the liberal system is about to win the day. That worries me.”
She was also a disappointment.
4th Industrial Revolution unlikely to happen due to economic collapse. No more vaccines. No more lockdowns. Probably – no more food as well…… latest article by the consistently good writer/economist Gail Tverberg:
https://ourfiniteworld.com/2020/07/17/why-a-great-reset-based-on-green-energy-isnt-possible/#comments
A Covid vaccine may never be developed. For those worried about the prospect of a compulsory injection containing DNA, etc., etc. – this is good news.
https://www.sfchronicle.com/health/article/With-coronavirus-antibodies-fading-fast-focus-15414533.php
Oh, I suspect they will come up with something they call the vaccine, but it will be neither safe nor effective.
You’re probably right, Steve. Main aim is to create a demand and make a big profit.
So who cares what’s in the vaccine – saline fluid?
Saline – well at least that would have the benefit of being relatively safe.
No. Much worse than saline fluid. That, we could survive, but the authorities would apparently prefer us not to survive. I think we all agree that we are too many, so I am selling my children for random scientific experiments on Monday…
I’ll settle for sugar pills, I’d just rather not be strangely pharma-poisoned.
They’ve invested billions in this hoax. Ergo…
the world health authority has decreed compulsary togetherness for all sovereigns. exemptions are available but not recommended. the old normal led to lockdowns. the new normal is togetherness and embracing fulfillment of our potential. https://youtu.be/PxLh3DlWUrY
The new normal, gag, is happytalism. I kid you not. And the ‘happiness’ envisioned by the self-modified, who have sought to replace God, is like the happiness in the tv show NOS4A2. In that show, a vampire, Charlie Manx, sucks the life out of children and deposits what remains in a dimension created by his imagination called Christmasland or something like that, where happiness is against the law. When happiness is the law, of course, it’s not going to be true happiness.

Toward the end they recommend The European Union Collective by Christopher Story.

A theory: “Russian hacking” and “Russian interference” are codes. There’s hacking, there’s interference, it’s a country, but it ain’t Russia.
Q: what is being hacked?
A: the Maoist World Order (MWO)
DOG POOP Periodic Russophobic propaganda is a regular part of US mainstream media news. These warmongering alerts by a slew of commentators are similar to a deranged person in a crowded dark movie theater dressed in disguise shouting fire. The sociopath quickly sneaks out of the cinema leaving a panic ridden crowd shrieking in fear trying to escape the mayhem. In the end, after hundreds are terrified and dozens are injured by the stampeding crowds the perpetrator successfully eludes capture leaving moviegoers in a state of shock–the damage has been done. The mainstream media acts just like the above sociopath who screams fire in a jam-packed movie theater. They create a sensation with misinformation and then sneak away like a dog who just pooped on a expensive carpet knowing they will never be required to clean up the mess. When the warmongering news alerts turns out to be total fabrications the media “might”… Read more »

Excellent article
The Russia story is getting lots of talking heads on the News meanwhile
https://financial-press.uk/2020/07/17/matt-hancock-launches-urgent-review-into-the-way-phe-counts-coronavirus-deaths/
Oops It seems once you have had covid you have got it for life , or till death us do part.
Maybe they will also look at the way even if your just tested or suspected of having the infection , well might as well count that as having developed the disease and add that to the covid numbers.
Nothing to see here please move on now.
In effect, the covid counts are tallied differently by each country and are really meaningless. They’re just a transparent excuse to alter policies as wished, and to control: people, events, generate news (shaped and shaded propaganda) about events.
It’s like voting currently, in many countries. They come up with the counts they prefer. It’s proveable, but “they” will just ignore the proofs.
Times haven’t got better, and official criminals “masque”rading as statesmen abound.
Maybe Russia did steal something. And the lie is that it is a vaccine and not some mind control poison. The “vaccine” has probably been designed for years now. And they are just ramping up production waiting for the right time to pull the trigger on mass injections.
I’m sure the russians have plenty of good scientists of their own and can develop their own vaccines if they are going along with the agenda.
I imagine the important governmental meetings in the Kremlin involve a far higher level of intelligence than the twaddle leaking out of the foam rubber which passes for a political brain in today’s Westminster.
Unfortunately, it seems to be a fact that utter stupidity can be as effective a weapon as a well-disciplined military when it comes to creating diplomatic stalemate.
It’s a question of genuine leadership vs. clowns taking up a political career because Daddy thought it would be a good idea. It’s certainly hard to imagine Putin surrounding himself with such useless specimens as our own recent leaders have done – following, of course, the American model.
The Russians probably vivisect kittens on prime-time TV too, for that matter…
Apparently people still need to be reminded that it is no longer 1950. Millions of western Europeans have been to Russia, lived in Russia and got to know the Russian people, and, guess what? They are just like us, except they speak Russian… Just imagine!
1950 is now 70 years ago, and we have all moved on since then. Yes, ALL of us.
Do try to keep up.

The Covid-19 HOAX The Covid-19 HOAX can be seen in the way Covid-19 spread. It spread to the whole world but jumped over the major Chinese cities. You know Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, etc. On March 16, about 2 months after the lockdown, Beijing Municipality had only 442 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (population 20 million), Shanghai Municipality had only 353 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (population 23 million), Guangdong Province had only 1,357 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (population 104 million), Hong Kong Region had only 141 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (population 7 million). Get that… it didn’t appreciably spread (before or after the Wuhan lockdown) to any of the major Chinese cities. But there was a tremendous spread of the disease (before the Wuhan lockdown) to Iran and Italy. How’s that? The Washington Post reported that 5 million people left Wuhan… Read more »
I’ve been saying the same for months. It didn’t spread the way a virus spreads. Lots of others asking, but apparently the USA media has lost their ability to be journalists and critically think … since a basic run of the numbers would raise this question. You would think it would be news.
I don’t actually believe this for one second as Russian scientists have always been capable. Also, surely if this virus is so deadly to the whole planet, the least these organisations can do is SHARE their research open source with everyone so all parties have full information to study it. One of the biggest criticisms of China is that they weren’t adequately sharing medical data and now we are openly admitting that we aren’t adequately sharing medical data with the world. Is that not contrary to WHO guidelines?
It’s never been about the virus.
As the the World Economic Forum said, ‘Covid-19 offers a unique window of opportunity’ .
No, its never been about the virus, but it’s the tip of their spear, and unless it’s blunted, they will keep using it as a rationale to do any number of extra-legal, extra-judicial things to us.
Unless it’s really discredited, deeply and broadly, it’s a really useful, global CYA. It’s a one-size-fits-all tool for fascism anywhere and everywhere.
Having a rough go in the Capitol, or the governor’s mansion? Just impose masked martial law.
So easy.
“The Virus is back! We’re having a Pandemic!”
If other powers: courts, congresses, et al., don’t really push back, what’s to stop it?
Could become a wearisome Game Plan.
The relatively cheerful posture most people seem to have, seems less about courage or mindfulness, than the shock of denial.
Contrary to the thesis/premise behind the Russia hacking story – the very reverse is true. The fact is that Science is the one area that largely escaped the Cold War. In The Power of Systems: How Policy Sciences Opened Up the Cold War World (2016) the author Egle Rindzeviciute wrote: “The idea for this volume began when I encountered a puzzling question: how is it possible that both Soviet and US governmental elites embraced the same scientific methods of governance… and, moreover, closely cooperated in development of these methods during the Cold War? “Surely, one would think, government of communist and capitalist societies could not be amenable to the same techniques of discipline and control? But this was the case when the science of governance, cybernetics, and its sibling, the systems approach, circulated between East and West, beginning in the 1950s. “As is so often the case, an apparent… Read more »
Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science? – The Guardian. “The scientific article has essentially become the only way science is systematically represented in the world. As Robert Kiley, head of digital services at the library of the Wellcome Trust, the world’s second-biggest private funder of biomedical research, puts it: “We spend a billion pounds a year, and we get back articles… even from the most brilliant person in the world … doesn’t count for anything unless you have it published,” says Neal Young of the NIH. If you control access to the scientific literature, it is, to all intents and purposes, like controlling science.” “The Butterworths directors, being ex-British intelligence themselves, hired the young Maxwell to help manage the company, and another ex-spook, Paul Rosbaud, a metallurgist who spent the war passing Nazi nuclear secrets to the British through the French and Dutch… Read more »

Just listening to the BBC radio news . “We are almost certain …99% certain….pretty sure….they are saying they didn’t but of course they WOULD say that….really almost sort of could have been …..” etc.
This morning on BBC Breakfast, the BBC had an “expert” on who informed us that he can tell when Russian denials are lies by the way they deny. He said the way they have denied these accusations shows them to be lying. The BBC is beyond satire or caricature.
What we know of the latest Russian Blame Game is just as much beyond satire, as it is the centerpiece of a big hoax to cover, or distract from, the “Biggest Hoax… in human history” (Vernon Coleman). Like the BIGgest HOAX, the One which we are busy trying to survive (at least ontologically and intellectually, among other) it’s odd how much of it is founded on rationales that are barely plausible, if at all, forget about the plausible deniability. To wit: what is the damage done, as somebody else has noted here, in the Russians hacking the very crême de la crême of the best research, of anybody? The question raises many interesting questions that are new and Cold War themed. It’s like Cold War Nostalgia at play. One of the astounding things, for an era survivor, that Schotz’ great book “History Will Not Absolve Us” brings out, is his… Read more »
Just a casual covid-log entry: after going the first 4 months of this without a single person saying ghey knew anyone who had had it, I get two people in 24 hours, less, who had a lot of storyline: a co-worker last night I’d not seen since end March said “two relatives had died” (almost certain BS, but whence?) and a bank teller, whom I’ve talked to before, said her pregnant sister, her niece, and some other relative, had got it. Two were asymptomatic, but her sister had it full blown, yet recovered fully after a bad spell with no real problems. I suggested it may have been a flu, but not Covid, even if it’s “going around.” Telling her about the unreliabilty and dubiety of the tests. “Yes, I’ve heard that.” The teller was very interested in my rant, all the details, and spent several minutes listening, asking questions,… Read more »
It’s like Cold War Nostalgia at play. Yes, that’s exactly what it is, and “play” is the word. It’s a game. The same mindset which glorifies Remembrance Day still, even though nobody remembers WW1 any more, and very few remember WW2 either. The game always involves the hushed tones of the BBC’s latest reincarnation of Richard Dimbleby, following with the greatest reverence every step of the children and grandchildren of those who gave their lives following, and giving, orders as they did their useless best to give the impression that the British Empire was a holy thing which God had ordained must rule the world forever – however many millions of foreign and domestic lives that might cost – cost the soldiers, of course, not the officers, who, strangely, have the same BBC voices as those now covering Remembrance Day in perpetuity.

That’s it in a nutshell. “To watch themselves every day on closed curcuit t.v., to make sure theyre still real…” wrote Roger Waters in The Final Cut.

Once again, GKC had the last word, or pretty close to the very bone:
“The real argument against aristocracy is that it always means rule of the ignorant. For the most dangerous of all kinds of ignorance is ignorance of work.”
(I know all kinds of conservatives in USA who claim GKC as their pet, but the above isn’t too conservative. It sounds almost Marxist, in tone. I wonder if they know him at all, or just the several various “graphic novel versions”.)
Yes I think I can see a pattern here. The original – and obviously dodgy – claim is made but before anyone can fix on it, the claimants seamlessly switch to denials of the claim which are denounced as lies and then everyone is directed to focus on the nature of those “lies” thus deflecting attention away from the original crap. They did the same with 9/11. All attention was on the alleged absurdity of the “alternative” theories while the official account is quietly presupposed.
Reminds me of the Salisbury nonsense.
UK: We know you did it. Just co-operate, tell us how you did it and why.
Russia: We didn’t do it.
UK: Look at their response. Can you believe it? Goes to show that they can’t be trusted and they must be guilty as they are deliberately refusing to co-operate and are withholding information.
I expect it will be messy, but sooner or later, this kind of idiocy will be rooted out – either by us, if our patience ever runs out, or by Nature herself, who can usually find a way to prevent the widespread further evolution of cretinous genes.
The cause is probably a lethal mixture of generations of upper-class incest and drugs, but, whatever it is, it is not going anywhere but into a cul-de-sac.
Well, maybe they might say something like that … I suppose it’s just possible …
Reminds me of a teenage girl in Iceland during the “child-molestation pandemic” of a few years ago (now superceded, like everything else, by Covid). She accused a man of assaulting her, and when pressed to give at least some idea of what he had actually done to her, she came up with this: “Well, he was standing in the same room as me, and I just felt that he was thinking about doing something, and that made me very uncomfortable”… Thank God the case never even got to trial, but it still filled the mainstream media for several days… Talk about Thought-Crime…
“But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”
not everyone has read the book… you might say what it is for their benefit.
but I suppose a google (spit) search will do.
Please do me a favour and don’t use Google 🙂
What search engines do you recommend, or others?
IF humanity were facing viral annihilation then perhaps co-operation and sharing the research, not profit, may be safer, faster and more fun. Some may consider it immoral that anyone should ever need to steal ‘medical secrets’.
for sure they are up to no good. thats why they want to keep it all secret.

No, it’s just a phantom vaccine, saline solution, more or less, but 99.2% effective against Phantom Virus(es), present, past, and future.

That’s my fear. But I could be wrong. We’ll see …
Only yesterday (16 July) Patrick Valance, the government’s senior scientific advisor, was telling the House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology that the world is working together to find a vaccine for the virus. This claim completely contradicts the implied assertion in the Russia hacking narrative that the UK is keeping its knowledge of the virus secret. It could be either one or the other; it cannot be both simultaneously. But it is probably neither.
what ever they are doing is associated with lockdowns and thus banned.

assuming they even believe their own lies about Corona wouldn’t it show a sociopathic attitude towards the Russian people that they’d want to leave them to “die from the deadly pandemic”? Doesn’t anyone question why a supposed godsend cure would need to even be a state secret in the first place?
this is a good video about the medical cult. amandha vollmer asks the pertinent question. since these injections do not prevent disease what exactly are they trying to do to people? https://youtu.be/fj6pw6Jx2-M
They are psychopaths experimenting on people and animals, just because they can
an interesting bit in the video i posted is amandha pointing out she learnt in naturpathic school the kochs postulates. so we can deduce this is learnt by all mds as well. like kaufman was on the highwire saying the postulates were designed by germ theorists and had to prove the isolated virus could cause same symptoms. if we watch stefan lanka in pandemic theatre we learn that koch introduced the fraud only similar symptoms were needed. so all these drs are being tricked in school and kaufman is on the highwire claiming that these postulates are something they are not. it is strange this guy appears out of nowhere when there is people like amandha who have much more knowledge of terrain theory that actually mention the lymphatic system.
Sick fucks. Fucking monsters. Evil to the core. An abomination.
Really, it is far beyond time for all UK prostitutes who scribble lies every working day to have to sign a document saying they will go to a Labour Camp in Siberia for 10 years if they willfully invent nonsense about Russia, Vladimir Putin or shill lies for Bill Browder.

Forgive the charged cultural meme, but your “stupid Russia/cunning Russia” schizoidalism brought to mind suddenly a ghost: the O.J. MSM Carnavale.

It seems pretty obvious that the populations of the US/EU are being prepped up for a war against Russia. This is the longer-turn goal of the US deep-state and its neo-con crazies. The first stages are the propaganda war, Russia bad, NATO good … followed by colour revolutions along Russia’s borders, Georgia, Ukraine, economic sanctions, militarising the MSM, conducting military exercises along Russia’s western frontiers and so forth. The whole gambit is utterly predictable. From a foreign policy viewpoint the internal affairs of a sovereign state should be a matter for that state. But that of course isn’t good enough; the west should put things right, that is to say launch a war against that naughty country. This is the absurd rational for unending war as seen in the middle-east and the dismemberment of Yugoslavia. Normal diplomatic relations are a surrender to the eternal enemy. This is so… Read more »
Time to campaign to break up NATO and end the Special Relationship, me thinks.
If NATO means war with Russia, NATO is a clear and present danger to our future safety.
Israel can be ditched as an ally too. They are just a US nuclear missile silo in the Middle East, after all.
Waging war against Russia would be suicidal. Even the elites ought to be able to see this.
I agree, but I wouldn’t bet on the elites having that level of understanding.
I am confident that they do.
No, no, ve vill be in Moscow in six weeks, well before the winter!
Jawohl, mein Fuhrer!.
It’s horrifying.
The capitalist ruling class are literal psychopaths. Human lives are inconsequential. In their game of chess human are expendable.
A Twitter account I follow hypothesised that the wilful destruction of the economy and the resulting unemployment and poverty is creating is planned, in order to create millions of poor who will be so demoralised that they’ll willingly join the military to fight against the targets we’ve been taught to hate.
The United States is the axis of evil.
All believers will line up to get the shot. setting them free. The silver lining is obvious. Together with other promotions, world population will drop. The main goal.
It’s “highly likely” that this is more Russophobic disinformation aimed at a very gullible western public, softening them up for more sanctions against Russia, even military manoeuvres.
Yes, and those military manoeuvres against Russia could well come in the Don Bass with the the Ukie army armed, paid for, and egged on by the US/EU/NATO. Of course the western populations will be softened up for this initial onslaught but Russia itself will be next in line. Russia will be forced to intervene and then get blamed for starting the hostilities in the first place. I never thought that the British MSM could sink this low. It is nothing more than the mouthpiece of the security state of spooks, retired Generals and neo-con fruitcakes. Good article by Saker sums it up.
OFFG do your duty. Respond to new GUARDIAN nonsense. Coronavirus direct cause of 89% of pandemic deaths in Italy – study Angela Giuffrida Covid-19 was found to be the direct cause of death among 89% of the pandemic’s victims in Italy, according to a report on Thursday by the country’s higher health institute and national statistics agency. The study was based on the death certificates of 4,942 people who had tested positive for Covid-19 and carried out until 25 May, by which time 31,573 people were officially reported to have died of the disease… It almost exactly reverse finding of what Italian authorities reported in the and of April of all deD by that time. What is obvious that it is about 10% sample (why not all) and that study is not based on autopsies reports but on what was written into certificates per catch all directives specific to COVID… Read more »
What has this got to do with Russian interference? Oh I get it, trying to throw confusion into the mix. As one of my favorite Scottish YouTubers says at the end of his videos. Go Away Now!
It’s astounding, it’s become Statistics by Fiat, reviewable and reviseable by official whim. Talk about revisionism. Very skanky too, considering Italy was used pretty much as the MSM trigger for the UK and USA Lockdowns, then their health chief specifically clarified that they were deaths “with” the virus, and then he added that they were not “from” the Magic Virus. Now this? The whole process is bankrupt of any credibility. Mass Denial is enabling this. I just had some coworkers tell me this is real, this is deadly, all the very worst, it’s all true. They gave me that pitch because we have a friendly, if financial, relationship for some years and we hadn’t seen each other since March 29. I challenged one guy, and he offered personal stories, “No, I have two close relatives who died recently. It’s real.” I restrained my jaw from dropping, my eye brow was… Read more »
The lockdown strategy started in Wuhan, not Italy. They saw the seriousness of COVID and acted very switfly once they realised the infection rate was multiples of traditional flu.
Or do you believe that the Chinese who are being attacked by the US and UK would somehow go along with the western narrative? That’s some very strange conspiracy you’ve concoted Mr Ervin.
I’ve seen your comments here before and I catch the drift. Most others do as well. Enough said.
the medical cult opperate in most countries. there is as much evidence of a pathogenic virus as there is for the tooth fairy. it is their preconceved belief that made them believe in a pandemic. counting fraudulent test results is like counting teeth snatched by parents playing the tooth fairy. https://youtu.be/Cdq80ijbj-I
Notice that the point in Speaker’s post is made by way of implication and not directly expressed. If you draw out the implication and express it directly it says that Sats-Cov2 is proven deadly, not by scientific evidence, but by anecdote and credentials. Speaker has an anecdote backed by media credentials: the media story handed on down to us is that China behaved first and also, like the West, as though the virus is problematic ergo the virus is truly novelly threatening and deadly.
You see why he leaves it to implication: it is so silly when dragged out into daylight.
Strange that a similar thing happened to me recently. I was complaining about the silly rules. The response was well people are dying. I replied people always die. Then he came back without any emotion in a very pat way, I have lost two family members to it. I said I don’t believe you. He replied I am not in the habit of making up deaths. I left it there but it was obvious he was lying. The total of Covid RELATED deaths in Bridgend is 91. Bridgend population is 145,000. The odds that I had met someone that had lost two family members is vanishingly small. Is 91 winter/spring RELATED deaths of very old and sick people over five months in a population of 145,000 so incredible. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/excesswintermortalityinenglandandwales/2018to2019provisionaland2017to2018final Shows winter deaths have been falling from the 1950 high of some 120,000 but still reached nearly 50,000 in 2017-2018.… Read more »
Most interesting account: this is why I share these pedestrian tales, feedback pops up like that. This guy I’ve talked to him before, and he comes off as sincere, but I find much is just theatrics these days. When he said “two” it sounded 2 convenient.
Sounds coached. So many people have some agenda, usually for pay.
I looked at Japan tonight. Very densely populated, as most people know. 125 million there.
985 deaths as of tonight.
Three figures for total deaths does not a pandemic virus make! I don’t care how high it is elsewhere.
Ludicrous situation, ours. Eh?
As all death certificate reporting is now nonsense, any studies of it are ergo nonsense as well.
No one should take any notice of any analysis of death figures because death certificates have been forged en masse.
We call the reports “Euthanisms”.
To try to analyze the actual stats? Well, all of those would just be euphemisms.
Italy are big pharma whores. Why would you believe them easily corrupted fucks.

There aren’t enough pikes to mount all the oligarchic heads that richly deserve such treatment.

The war of the 1% against the rest of humanity continues to ratchet up with no end in sight – save for their favored “Lockstep” scenario.
The courageous Dr Carrie Madej tell us the frightening reality of this proposed vaccine. It will affect our DNA permanently with unknown side effects. Our DNA will be patented (owned) and exploited for profit by its makers. Nature will never agree. Neither will I.
Watch this before utube remove it.
It provokes a generalized immune response, modifying DNA/RNA and it’s experimental. That already puts the mRNA vaccine – if mandatory – in the realm of forced medical experimentation and the Nuremberg code. Will the first version cause massive side effects? meh. The second version may perhaps give a clearer picture of the way ahead, open a pathway and perhaps they’ll test it in Liverpool. The third version may provoke an immune response on the level of auto-immune disease or HiV and may provoke depopulation. All of these – HiV, auto-immune disease and experimental mRNA – are presented to the pubic as ‘shucks happenstance’ (shit happens, to you and me) and shrouded in unknowns. Yet we’ve already seen the deliberate and relentless spreading of HiV through contaminated blood: we’re told it was just business. OK, so thanks for admitting it was deliberate. Was it also an experiment? Perhaps… Read more »
Look, mate: siRNA drugs have been tested on humans for over a decade, so there is absolutely nothing new about injecting RNA into humans. Absolutely nothing.
There may be problems with mRNA vaccines, there may not be. But there is nothing new about what is being done.
I agree with your conclusion, but the more I read about Corona vaccines, the more sceptical I get, and I never had and do not have that attitude when I get vaccinated for and with traditional stuff. First, their efficiency doesn’t rhyme with the (low) immunity stories (pitched with a different bias, of course) and what we see with flu vaccines. Second, they are all most definetely rushed and often not even tested on animals. The huge ethical question of justifying giving them to the vulnerable first and thereby using them as guinea pigs is neither raised nor answered yet. Third, their annual cost will be prohibitive, if stories about 650£ a shot are correct (£50bln p.a. in UK alone) and they are likely just as useless and to be admistered annually as the flu ones. Fourth, they are probably not even necessary in light of the other effective treatments… Read more »
The elephant in the room, which is being ignored by vaccine apologists, is the *coercion* element.
Gate’s vaccines might not be ‘mandatory’. Instead they’ll be tied to liberties, freedom to travel, freedom to work, eligibility to claim state benefits, eligibility for health care and general and insidious ostracisation from mainstream society.
The unvaccinated will be become society’s pariahs.
From what I read, mRNA vaccines are new. If an mRNA vaccine was approved for coronavirus, it would be the first of its type. Prof. Bekeredjian-Ding said, ‘It’s a very unique way of making a vaccine and, so far, no (such) vaccine has been licenced for infectious disease.’ https://horizon-magazine.eu/article/five-things-you-need-know-about-mrna-vaccines.html Eugene Gu The Independent 19 May 2020: Completely new and revolutionary. “Moderna’s messenger RNA vaccine, on the other hand, is completely new and revolutionary to say the least. It uses a sequence of genetic RNA material produced in a lab that, when injected into your body, must invade your cells and hijack your cells’ protein-making machinery called ribosomes to produce the viral components that subsequently train your immune system to fight the virus…In many ways, the vaccine almost behaves like an RNA virus itself except that it hijacks your cells to produce the parts of the virus, like the… Read more »
The difference this time, is that the vaccine being developed for a virus they can’t seem to isolate, or that hasn’t killed anyone or left antibodies (according to pathologist Dr Stoian Alexov) and is on the wane with no signs of a second wave, is being rushed through normal safety testing protocols that normally last 5 or 6 years, to be ready in 18 months.
Gates himself said fast tracking the vaccine will make it less safe. He stifled a grin as he explained that some people may get sick two years down the road, but it was up to individual governments to decide *indemnity* measures.
We are ants to be exterminated.

Just had a look over at the comments section on both Sky News, and BBC news YouTube channels. The general consensus is why we are not sharing this data anyway, we are all supposed to be in this together. It looks to me that the public (even the BBC demographic) are not buying this propaganda. I feel this will backfire big time.
I know when I looked at the “breaking news” report on the sky news web page last night I just laughed, anyone with half a brain knows this is absolutely ridicules.

The best part if the secret Covid-19 conspiracy is the Russian act of pretending to have 752.797 fake SARS-CoV2 “infections” and 11973 people pretended to have died from this.
Actually, I found it rather demoralizing to see Putin’s Russia play along with this crappy hoax and hysteria. Proves to me that Putin is also part of George Carlin’s “Big Club.”
I remember reading some article many years ago about russia and putin. How russia and putin are fighting the west .Some guy put a comment that putin is “one of them”. The guy was totaly destroyed by other readers. Now it seems to me that I myself was not very bright back then as I commented that he is a f^^^g idiot and he has no clue what he’s talking about. I no longer lough at people who say that putin is “their guy”. Now I say/claim that Russia is not a counterweight to NWO. Russia is part of NWO. And I am demoralised by this as well.
Yes, I scan RT every morning though no longer comment there as my name appears to go directly to the “moderator.” As a chemist, I see this scamdemic as a total hoax in order to accelerate the coming of the NWO and the Hunger Games society. They just have so many tools at their disposal, and most people are in a state of hypnosis. I think Dr. Andrew Kaufman has it right. Russia seems to be in the forefront of coming mandatory vaccines. RT is full of the coming miracle vaccine undergoing “testing” though it is never mentioned whether it is an RNA/DNA vaccine with gene drive thrown in, which will turn everyone and their progeny into GMO’s. Will they then patent us? Let us not forget historian Antony Sutton who proved that Trotsky visited the Wall Street Rothschild banks in the spring of 1917 where he was wined and… Read more »

The anti-Putin branch of the five-Ayes is much more active than the anti-Xi Jinping branch: the only logic I can imagine is that Russia has oil contrary to China and that US big business makes more money of China than of Russia. Doesn’t make it any less daft in view of Anglo regional security, but billionaires actually live in Caribbean tax havens so don’t care about that; they consider passports commodities like hookers.
The South China Sea imbroglio is all about oil that the US wants to get its hands on.

As it was anti-Russian I expected it to be accompanied with a Luke Harding byline but this is from the Defence and Security Editor, Dan Sabbagh, Harding, as well as being a plagiarist, has written four anti-Russian books including “Collusion” about how Russia helped Donald Trump get into power (using the discredited Steele dossier as his main source). Here Aaron Mate interviews him leaving him totally uncomfortable by the end.
This is a favorite piece on Harding, published by Spiked in 2011:

I don’t think he needs an incentive, Rhys.
John, I’ve watched this interview a number of times …. I need cheering up again.
Anti-Russian narratives are so disingenuous.
The truth is, some millionaires and billionaires, who also happen to be *Russian* are meddling in politics, just as millionaires and billionaires around the world are meddling in politics. But for political point scoring a nationality is highlighted.
It would be more honest for the MSM to say ‘the rich are meddling in politics’. And I wonder how it works when American politicians receive cash from Russian donors. Are they still playing the Russiaphobia card?
Good point Eyes Open.
Some billionaires who also happen to be Jews are meddling in politics. But you can’t say that. You can’t even say they are Russian Jews. But you can say they are Russians.

Off topic, but yesterday on Newsmax network in the US the guest COMPLETELY ripped into Gates and Fauci. Newsmax is a major conservative media outlet that has both a TV network and website with millions of viewers/readers. You can watch it here:

wow what rebels a bit late to the party by 4 months.
Yes, but at least large numbers of people are going to see it.
Ironically, by the rule that my enemy’s enemy is my friend, if this Newsmax piece becomes known to the Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd, it could enhance Gates’s, Fauci’s – and Biden’s – popularity immensely.
To paraphrase Galloway, you can always tell a Russian agent because they have snow on their boots.
THAT’S why le Carré/Cornwell gave us “The Spy Who Came In From The Cold”.
Brrr, it is a real giveaway. The snow on the boots was a plot spoiler.
Someone here said they’ve been pinning the rap onto the Russkies since Catherine the Great. If you’ve been looking deeper, the heirs of the Allemani, the Teutons, nay, the Goths of the Dark Ages, have infested from the West with their patented ancient elixirs of Nazionalism, and lusts for Russian real estate, since at least the 1200s, when they were ousted by Alexandre Nevsky. That’s as far as I got so far, but I bet deeper digs will turn up even more, long before?
You would enjoy Adam Zamoyski ‘The Last KIng of Poland’.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll also be reading Zamoyski’s Phantom Terror: Political Paranoia and the Creation of the Modern State, 1789-1848
I have begun on that. It brings home the extent of social destruction at all levels left after Napoleon.
‘Holy Madness: Romantics Patriots and Revolutionaries’ conveys how few people were involved in the Age of Revolutions. Zamoyski leaves you to join the dots, but ‘Warsaw 1920: Lenin’s Failed Conquest of Europe’ speaks for itself.
Anyone new to Zamoyski should start with ‘1812: Napoleon’s Fatal March on Moscow’ and ‘Rites of Peace..’ and meet Tsar Alexander. A sheer pleasure to read.
Count Zamoyski, to you sir. But seriously, the man has a certain princely mien about him, a princess for a mother, and sounds like a provocative history he has amassed, both his and the Polish. Thanks for the ref, wilco.
I used to have lunch with a church staff in Paris, nearly 50 years past, a small group including the two janitors, and the lady at the head of the table was a Princess (Bagration, of Georgia).
