New Normal Gleichschaltung

Or “The Storming of the Reichstag Building on 29 August, 2020”

CJ Hopkins

On March 21, 1933, the Nazi-controlled Reichstag passed a law making it a crime to speak out against the government. The “Regulations of the Reich President for Defense from Treacherous Attacks against the Government of the National Uprising” made even the slightest expression of dissent from Nazi ideology a criminal offense.

This new law, among other totalitarian measures, was part of a process known as Gleichschaltung…the process of achieving rigid and total ideological coordination and uniformity in politics, culture, and private communication by forcibly repressing (or eliminating) independence and freedom of thought and expression.

GloboCap hasn’t done anything that heavy-handed in the course of rolling out the New Normal totalitarianism, but that’s mainly because they do not have to.

When you control the vast majority of the global corporate media, you don’t need to pass a lot of ham-fisted laws banning all dissent from your totalitarian ideology. This isn’t the 1930s, after all.

Over the last ninety years, the arts of propaganda, disinformation, and perception management have advanced to a point that even Goebbels couldn’t have imagined.

The skill with which GloboCap and the corporate media delegitimized the anti-New Normal demonstrations in Berlin, London, and other cities last weekend is a perfect example of the state of those arts.

I’ll focus on Berlin, as that’s where I live, and the so-called “Storming of the Reichstag” incident, but it works pretty much the same way everywhere. I believe there was a curious incident involving a person with a fascist flag in London, and that the UK media have now officially chosen David Icke to be the movement’s figurehead.

In Berlin, in the days leading up to the protests, government officials and corporate media propagandists did what officials and propagandists do … they relentlessly repeated their official narrative, namely, that anyone protesting the New Normal (or doubting the official Coronavirus narrative) is a “violent neo-Nazi extremist,” or “conspiracy theorist,” or some other form of existential “threat to democracy.”

This official narrative was originally disseminated following the August 1 protest in Berlin, the scale of which took the authorities by surprise. Tens or hundreds of thousands of people (depending on whose narrative you believe) gathered in the city to protest the New Normal and its increasingly absurd “emergency measures.”

The German media, CNN, The New York Times, and other “respectable news outlets” uniformly condemned them as “neo-Nazis,” or insinuated that they were “neo-Nazi-sympathizers.”

Despite the finding of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution that only “individual members of far-right-groups” had taken part in the August 1 protest, and that “far-right extremists had no formative influence on the demos,” both the German and international corporate media pumped out story after story about the ultra-violent neo-Nazi hordes that were about to descend on Berlin, again!

Der Tagespiegel, a major German newspaper, reported that the demo was being “infiltrated by Nazis.” Die Tagesschau, the German BBC, shrieked that “neo-Nazis are mobilizing!”

RBB, another public broadcaster, reported that the “traveling circus of Corona-deniers” was heading straight for the city! (N.B. Any reference to any kind of “deniers” in Germany evokes Holocaust deniers, i.e., Nazis). Ver.di, the German journalists union, warned their members that they were expecting reporters to suffer “double-digit physical attacks.” And these are just a few of countless examples.

The American and UK corporate media also did their Gleichschaltung duty, disseminating the official “Nazis are Coming!” narrative. (I don’t need to do the citations, do I?) And, of course, Antifa joined in the chorus.

On Wednesday, three days before the demo, having successfully whipped the New Normal masses up into a state of wide-eyed panic over the imminent neo-Nazi invasion, the Berlin government banned the protests. The New Normal masses celebrated.

A few concerns about…you know, democracy, were perfunctorily voiced, but they were quickly silenced when Interior Senator Andreas Geisel explained that abrogating the people’s constitutional right to freedom of assembly, and freedom of speech, and to petition their government, was not in any way a totalitarian act, but was purely a matter of “protecting the public health.”

For good measure, Geisel also added:

I’m not willing to accept a second time that Berlin is being abused as a stage for Corona deniers, Reichsbürger, and right-wing extremists.”

Then, in a particularly Orwellian twist, although the protest itself had now been banned, the Berlin government decided to approve a “counter-protest” against the banned protest. I’m not quite sure how that was supposed to work.

The night before the demo, an administrative court overturned the protest ban. It didn’t really matter, as the authorities knew they couldn’t stop the demo in any event. Banning the protest was just part of the show (and the Gleichschaltung process the show was part of), meant to emphasize the existential threat posed by the bloodthirsty Nazi legion that was on its way to sack the city.

On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of protesters (the overwhelming majority of whom were not neo-Nazis, or Nazi-sympathizers, or any other kind of monsters) poured into the streets of central Berlin. The police surrounded them, trapping them on the avenues, closed off the side streets so they couldn’t get out, and, once again, tried to ban the protest on the grounds that they weren’t “social distancing.” Everyone sat down in the street.

Cops stalked around in their masks and body armor, sweating heavily, and occasionally pushing people. Lawyers made phone calls. It was very hot. This went on for quite a while.

Eventually, the court instructed the police to let the demonstration go ahead. And the rest is history … except that it isn’t. According to the official narrative, there were no hundreds of thousands of protesters. There were “tens of thousands,” and they were all “neo-Nazis,” and “Nazi-sympathizers,” and “Coronavirus deniers,” and “stark-raving mad conspiracy theorists.”

(Full disclosure: I was there with them, and, yes, indeed, there were some neo-Nazis among the hundreds of thousands in the streets, but, just like at the August 1 protest, these far-right boneheads were a small minority and not at all welcomed by the majority of the participants, no more than the Trotskyists and anti-Semites were welcomed at the 2003 anti-war protests before the US invasion of Iraq, although, yes, they were definitely there.)

In any event, hundreds of thousands of protesters made their way down Unter den Linden, through the iconic Brandenburg Gate, and onward to the main demonstration, filling the Straße des 17. Juni from the Brandenburg Gate to the Siegessäule. By now, I assume you’ve seen the pictures. Or maybe you haven’t. It’s actually fairly hard to find any photos in the media that give you any real perspective.

And, finally, we have come to the main event … which, of course, was not this enormous gathering of totally non-violent, non-Nazi people peacefully protesting the New Normal totalitarianism, nor the speech of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. No, the “story,” the official main event, was the “Storming of the Reichstag building by Nazis.”

I’ll let Mathias Bröckers handle this part. Here’s an excerpt from his recent blog post:

Storming of Reichstag Averted – Democracy Saved!

How do you manage to delegitimize a peaceful mass protest against the corona measures in such a way that the media report not about a protest by hundreds of thousands, but about the “storming” of the Reichstag?

Quite simply: you approve an application by a group of Reichsbürger to assemble directly in front of the Reichstag (N.B. the official applicant for this assembly was Ex-NPD-member Rüdiger Hoffmann) and station only three policemen in front of the west entrance despite the large police presence everywhere in the area.

Then you let a crazy Q-Anon-chick scream into the microphone that “Donald Trump has declared freedom,” that “the police have laid down their weapons,” and that “everyone should now occupy the steps of the Reichstag,” and, presto, you have the images you need to dominate the coverage…a mob of a few dozen people with Reichsbürger flags “storming the Reichstag.”

Never mind the fact that the massive demonstration at the Siegesäule (i.e., Victory Column) organized by Querdenken 711 had absolutely nothing to do with this incident, which was carried out by a right-wing-extremist splinter group.

The demonstration had already been delegitimized as a protest staged by Reichsbürger extremists and tin-foil-hat lunatics in the days leading up to it, and now the visual confirmation was provided.

In a video of the lead-up to the “Reichstag storming” incident, Tamara K., a natural health practitioner, and pretty obviously a far-right wacko, is the “crazy Q-Anon-chick” in question. You can clearly hear her advising the crowd that “there are no more police here,” which the video confirms.

Or rather, the few police that were there had left the building completely unguarded and pulled back to well behind this assembly of obviously far-right-extremist-type clowns (who, remember, had been granted official permission to stage their assembly at the steps of the Reichstag). This, despite the days and weeks of warnings of a “neo-Nazi invasion” from government officials and the corporate media.

Go ahead, call me a “conspiracy theorist.”

Anyway, once the Reichstag steps were thoroughly occupied by far-right loonies and the Reichsflagge were in the right positions (approximately four minutes into the video), the police finally arrived to mount their defense. It was touch-and-go there for a while, but at the end of the day, democracy triumphed.

Naturally, there were plenty of journalists on hand to capture this historic drama and broadcast it all around the world.

And there you have it, the official narrative, which Saskia Esken, SPD co-leader, succinctly squeezed into a tweet:

Tens of thousands of far-right radicals, Reichsbürger, QAnon followers, Holocaust deniers, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists, and esoterics, who declare the media, science, and politicians ‘guilty’ and openly call for the storming of the Reichstag and a coup d’état. That is the 29 August Berlin demonstration.“

Oh, and yesterday, as I was writing this column, I saw that the Berlin Senate had passed a new regulation requiring the participants of any future protests to all wear masks…so I take back what I wrote in the beginning. It looks like GloboCap, or at least its German branch, has some ham-fisted totalitarianism left in it.

I’ll keep you posted on the Gleichschaltung process, and the advance of the New Normal totalitarianism, generally. In the meantime, remember, this is just about a virus! And the Nazis really are coming this time!

And looting is a powerful tool to bring about real, lasting change in society…oh, yeah, and the chocolate ration has been increased!

That was an excellent report. I’ll be using it in my next blog post titled “More Good Cop Bad Cop?” A snippet from that blog post follows: === = Powertrippers ‘enjoy’ bullying. Just having power doesn’t make you a powertripper. C.J. Hopkins’s above linked-to article reveals clearly that facet of the psychology of self-modified people whose values and desires are perverted and twisted. Nazis – fascists – calling their victims Nazis, when they are not, is off the charts obscene, not to mention another example of ruined people calling to God to “Bring it!” This may also be an example of projection, but it’s not unconscious or involuntary projection. There’s no way that, for example, a group, namely Antifa, whose raison detre is supposed to be opposition to fascism, is not conscious of the fact that the desperate protesters who they are calling Nazis are in fact not Nazis.

As a former German I know about Gleichschaltung. We are now gleichgeschalted to create a fuss and then we are so tired that we accept all they dish out.

The whole of human history can be reduced to three words: “Controlling The Masses.” You can pretty much throw out all the history books (or, as philosopher David Hume said, “Commit it to the flames). History is just window dressing and bunting draped all around those three words.

I happen to be of German descent. My grandfather was raised and educated in Germany, and later became the owner and editor of a small Catholic newspaper named “The Wander”. He was a very conservative man, and often wrote of the dangers of societal disinformation and manipulation of historical fact. I digress… The misuse of the term “Nazi” disgusts me, as it is nearly always used in a pejorative and slanderous sense. Here is actual origin of the term: Ashkenazi Any of the historically Yiddish-speaking European Jews who settled in central and northern Europe, or their descendants. They lived originally in the Rhineland valley, and their name is derived from the Hebrew word Ashkenaz (“Germany”). After the start of the Crusades in the late 11th century, many migrated east to Poland, Lithuania, and Russia to escape persecution. In later centuries Jews who adopted the German-rite synagogue ritual were called Ashkenazim… Read more »

That is not the origin of the term. The term “Nazi” is derived from the similar term for their opponents, the “Sozi”, short for Sozialist. The “So” was just switch for “Na” for Nationalist. The fact that the word “nazi” is at the end of the word Ashkenazi is just a coincidence.

Sorry, what’s GloboCap? I googled it. No Wiki entry! but i found this:

“We remember watching (and futilely protesting) as GloboCap prepared to invade, destabilize, and restructure the entire Middle East, as countries throughout the global capitalist empire implemented “emergency security measures” (which, 18 years later, are still in effect), as the corporate media bombarded us with official propaganda, jacked up The Fear, and otherwise prepared us for the previous “New Normal” … some of us remember all that clearly.”

Clearly, it is the West, but is there any more precise definition? Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Geisel, Steinmeier and Merkel: all three are former SED staff.
The whole Reichstag episode was indeed staged.
But they have hereby also started to dig their own grave: as with anti-semitism, when you denounce ANY criticism of Israel’s policies as being anti-semitic, you denigrate REAL anti-semitism, and you lower the bar for more and more people, who can and will just thereby see through your scam and true intent in ever increasing numbers, for criticizing Israel’s policies.
Transferred to Corona: if all people to the right of Esken&co are denounced as Nazis by them and their propaganda outlets, more and more people just therefore won’t buy it anymore, and the bar to engage yourself against the establishment narrative is lowered ever more, as is the one to vote for the AfD.

Interestingly, Geisel, the name of the Berlin minister who declared the demonstration illegal, has a name which means “hostage” or “abduction victim in German. The Victoria provincial premier in Australia is administering a legal system reminiscent of the Reichstag Fire decrees mentioned in the text. The latest video of the Victorian provincial “filth” seizing a pregnant woman who had posted a resistance comment on the web and is now threatened with a $20,000 fine (similar to the 10,000 quid demanded of Piers Corbyn for organising a demonstration against coronafascism in Britain) reveals the odium which all of this has engendered.

Another neat piece CJ. Many commentators have remarked how difficult it is to reason with the terrified masses. Reason does not prevail. We rationalists are classified as selfish and uncaring, putting the economy above lives of old folk – just as the propagandists and government push. It occurs to me that we should (must) reverse this tale. Repeatedly demand of the maskers, ‘distancers’ etc: “why are you so selfish?” “Why do you put your own health concerns over the minuscule threat of severe effects of an obscure virus above that of the destruction of the economic and psychological health of millions of adults and the severe effects that this attitude has on the education and mental health of a generation of children.” “How can you be so selfish to only think of yourself on the pretext of protecting people in retirement homes?

that’s a good tactic. I suggest incorporating the word “paranoia” into the argument, to emphasize that the “health concerns” involved are highly irrational, and that people who object to the utter destruction of functioning society are not the ones who are pathological.

They’ll sniff that out as a veiled rational argument, and reject it out-of-hand.

The thing is, their hysterical emotional state is already decided, and it is continuously vindicated by their televisions sets, which (if you haven’t noticed) has credibility to them precisely because it is on television. They will never accept an appeal to emotion that doesn’t come from their beloved and “Society-Approved,” Telescreen Emotion Generator(TM).

The mass media aren’t there to present the news, but to manage it on behalf of the powers-that-be, which by the way own them. The whole notion of “the media” as being something apart from the corporate world is absurd, the media outlets are large corporate entities who care about bottom lines as well as maintaining the social status quo. The New York Times honest motto would be “All the news that fits.”

CJ, you are usually pretty good, but you missed the ‘history’ bus pretty big time here – serious propaganda did not start with Hitler and Goebbels, you go back to WWI when the bankers who had just taken over the US money system decided they wanted to get into WWI, even though Wilson had promised to keep the US OUT of WWI – the propaganda got into high gear to justify the US getting into WWI, and they never looked back – shortly after that the century of HATE THE F***ING COMMIES!!!!!!!!! began, and has been relentless ever since, except for the sort period when Stalin suddenly became the good guy to help beat Hitler. The big propaganda story of the 1930s was not Hitler somehow brainwashing the Germans, which he never did, they generally loved him for restoring the German economy etc – but again the bankers REALLY hated,… Read more »

same problem, the comment immediately above of mine was ‘held for moderation’, and eventually allowed, but I can’t see any reason to flag it originally, so the rules for flagging things maybe need to be made a bit more clear somewhere (has happened before, I got a note from the moderator saying their automatic system need adjusting, but that was not that satisfactory of an explanation)

If they listed a bunch of special words to be flagged, that’s going to be a problem for anyone like me who tends to counterattack the enemy using his own preferred words against him.

But in today’s comment that had a problem, the most severe word I used was “fraudulent”.

At any rate, prior-censorship is a foolish way to moderate, if that is what the filter is doing. So far as I’ve seen the commenters themselves do a perfectly good job dealing with trolls, which is as it should be.

HEIL CORONAVIRUS! Prior to last Saturday the US mainstream media news never mentioned the planned Unite for Freedom event.  US Commentators are determined to give the impression everyone is complying with COVID restrictions except for Trump’s lunatic base who are comprised of gun toting Nazis or tin foil hat conspiracy theorists.   Thank heavens for Ruptly! They covered the demonstrations throughout Europe allowing viewers to obtain an untainted view of hundreds of thousands of protesters.  I mostly watched the demonstrations at Trafalgar. The crowds were a heterogeneous mix of young, old, black and white. No one looked like Nazis, to tell you the truth some looked more “hippie” than fascist.  Protesters carried British flags or signs with a variety of messages about COVID.  In any case, you’d never see such a demonstration in the US.  There were a few Liberate Protests during the height of the lockdowns, but no mass protests questioning the COVID-19 craziness. For the most part, the… Read more »

Correct. The London protest was attended by freedom supporting people of all religions and races and political leanings. Off Guardian have repeated the lie about the fascist flag photo which was from a different protest not even held during 2020! The state propagandists are trying their usual divide and rule and disinformation tactics. The MSM are beyond saving and are pretty much incapable of telling the truth now.

As usual, Hopkins provides another informative, trenchant report and analysis.

I enjoy his biting wit and satire, but I appreciate his ability to “dial down” the snark when the topic requires more straightforward reporting and analysis. I don’t know if he consciously decides to be more “serious”, or if it’s instinctive– and even when he is being more serious, he doesn’t lapse into standard pundit supercilious humorlessness.

As a US citizen and committed carnivore, however, I’m 110% behind the notion of banning Reichsbürgers. My high-school German is kind of rusty, but I assume they’re some kind of new veggie-burger manufactured from rice. Who needs it?

Now, on the protests, the more I reflect on in, the more it strikes me that this event was deliberately precipitated by the establishment, specifically as a show of their inescapable and all-encompassing power. Not only are they able to force the protestors to abide by the very uber-neurotic compulsory rituals that the people are ostensibly protesting, but then the media gleefully depict the proceedings in a blatantly ironic fashion, demonstrating that they can and will harness any act of dissent, however meek or powerful, and twist it to their own ends.

Totally with you, Judith. I think THX helps explain the mystery below (thanks THX!), in why it’s possible to have 2 URL’s or page addresses for the same page. The URL is the designator (or address) at the top of the page starting with https://

It makes sense to have two of these URL’s to provide the alternative of having an image of the video appear, or simply an address starting with https://

THX has avoided having the video address automatically go to image by messing with that particular address (inserting spaces). Any slight change will do this and make a URL inoperative.

Utah mask facts – exempt if wearing a mask makes you anxious, or could bring on a panic atack ?…..am sure you feel ill-at-ease wearing one, who in their right mind wouldn’t – therefore, dont – but if you do, there are masks of all shapes and sizes, all manner of creatures to be crafted to speak for you, stimulate or provocate others even

not sure where you live…I’ve had experience with not wearing a mask and wearing one, well actually a face shield…depends on the store…big places like Safeway might ask you if you have a mask but just say you don’t wear one…I had a long conversation with a district mgr of Safeway after a customer viciously harrassed me…Safeway guy was great…he just wants to sell groceries so basically he could care less whether or not I was wearing a mask smaller stores, like local health food stores, have more to lose so they are willing to be the goons for the governor on days when I just don’t want the hassle I wear a face shield which I use a bit like a mobile billboard…I attach signs to it saying things like “gov’t never lies…right??” “Illegal to sue vaccine makers”, “Big Pharma…No Lives Matter”, “Covid 19? Follow the Money” just try… Read more »

Thanks all for the advice and encouragement! I have the “Under Duress” mask that someone from this site linked to. I get a lot of compliments on it. Also will be writing “CONTROL” with Sharpie on the next plain mask. I DO get panicky from wearing a mask. Where I live, the local distilleries have “pitched in” making hand sanitizer since there was supposedly a shortage. When I go to a place where they forcibly sanitize you with this strong smelling bootleg alcohol stuff, plus the mask, I get so nauseous I can never linger in a store, my strategy is to run in and run out. I’m also considering the baby step of wearing the mask down under my chin to see how people react. I am afraid of being accosted over a mask. Regarding pepper spray/being armed, I did take the class to get my concealed carry permit… Read more »

I live in the US. I have not worn a mask since this thing began. Just can’t/won’t do it. The exception being 2 wakes, out or respect for the families – and a critical visit with a family member who is very very concerned. I do not wear a mask into stores. I had a masked fellow my age stop me yesterday in a store and politely ask me if people said anything to me for not wearing the mask. He does not like wearing one. So we had a good chat. I told him I bring my laminated Medical Condition card with me and when staff ask I just explain “medical condition” and most times it’s fine. If they ask at all! I have had two unpleasant experiences with a bank and a post office. I just don’t go to those branches anymore. (In the case of the bank… Read more »

Judith – Do they have actual exemption clauses written into their mandates in the US, like they do in the UK? You don’t have to wear one here if it causes you ‘distress’.

My partner and I don’t wear masks. We both have our ups and downs with the experience and feelings it can create. I’ve succumbed once to wearing a mask ( was having a bad week and was very emotional and not coping well). I felt worse for dping it. I’ve not worn once since. The lesson I’ve learnt is that my personal integrity means far more to me than what I think others may be thinking of me.
We each have our own personal threshold and only you know yours. You shouldn’t be knocked for doing what feels like the right thing for you. Good luck.

Thanks Andrea! Good to hear you guys are doing it together. My family is more compliant and I seem to be the only one in my close circle who hates what’s happening. I am partly worried about being denied entrance to stores. Some of them have created a new job – someone posted at the door to hand out free surgical type masks and put hand sanitizer on people as they enter. For the places that don’t have that, I’m worried about being yelled at by other customers. Once, shortly after the mask mandate went into effect here, I was in a store when a bold, beautiful, man entered with no mask. Shopper glares were directed at him from everywhere. Hard to know what’s under the masks, but some might have just been envious that he was so brazen and free (I’m thinking of the freedom speech from Easy Rider).… Read more »

Here in the UK we do have a get out clause if we need to use it. I think someone earlier mentioned it. There is of course the Nuremberg code that could be utilised too if needed. Ie as the mask is a medical intervention you have the right to informed consent. Others here will know much more anout that than i do so may be able to advise.With regard to the glares. I do get some genuine glares however sometimes I do think that maybe that’s just my perception . Often I just don’t notice anymore as I just get on with living my life and shopping as I would have in the past. I also think there are more people than you realise that are envious of the strength of character they think it shows and wish they had the balls to do it. Be true to you… Read more »

‘Coronavirus’ shares parallels with the Holocaust dynamic. The public believing MSM propaganda. The police, military and authoritian personality types obediently enforcing draconian rules. State cultivation of a snitch culture. Increased poverty. Demonising those who dare to speak against the prevailing narrative. Increased involvement of corporations. Attempting to silence dissenting voices (Beate Bahner).

Yes, and “atrocities” should be a category to investigate and enumerate, as with the young Aussie woman arrested report, and all in the name of “protecting the health of the nation.”

Tangentially related: My daughter is back to her public jr. high school full time as of a week ago. The students have to wear masks to school (which she agrees is stupid) and some other isolating/dehumanizing measures which is annoying but I’m glad they get to be back in school. In my state, Utah/USA, it is amazingly easy to get a vaccine exemption certificate for school. You go to a website, watch a 20 minute pro-vaccine propaganda video, then you can print out a certificate with your child’s name and which vaccines they are exempt from. I printed the certificate and told my kid to drop it off at the school office. She said that if any other kids saw her, their parents wouldn’t let them hang out with her for fear she would give them a disease. I asked her what she was talking about, and she said “kids… Read more »

yes, indeed, there were some neo-Nazis among the hundreds of thousands in the streets, but, just like at the August 1 protest, these far-right boneheads were a small minority 

Nazis are Socialists and therefore “far left”. Thanks for playing though.

I love this bit about the protests:

At various times events linked to the protest have reached more than 10,000 people, but Facebook has continued to delete groups and pages associated with the event citing “misinformation that could lead to imminent physical harm”.

But, perhaps predictably, the lead up to the protest has been plagued by internal division.

Perhaps predictably? I would say totally predictably considering the way the media have chosen to derail and misrepresent the protests – not least by Facebook deleting groups and pages associated with the event.

I am in total support of demonstrations for opposing these measures from our Government, but as another post mentions, Corbyn is controlled opposition.Are we really to believe that “they” are going to allow organic protests? From their perspective the direction and message of the opposition must be controlled, it makes perfect sense. Until a tipping point is reached in the volume of dissent we are at the mercy of our most vocal and prominent radicals.

Now you see it, you can strategically call the Anglo-Zionist empire ‘GloboCap’. Or like David Icke, you can run the story that Zionists are the victim of a small ‘cabal’ which has nothing to do with Zionist Jews (Icke would be out of business in no time if he would target those who are also responsible). You can run the story that some group of people have masked themselves as Jews, fake Jews. But eventually, if the opposition can find one minutely small link to Nazism (read antisemitism), they will run the usual story. So all strategies of hiding and masking and not naming the thing for what it is, however well intended, or however a well intended self-deception.., or whatever motives for self-censorship, are in vain. How come, do you think, that the Western media always runs this Nazism far-right story to the point of utter obsessive ridiculousness. Western… Read more »

One theme I have noticed is the covid cult seem to be picking on females. In Melbourne they arrested this woman for a facebook post and then there was other woman who didn’t wear mask the other day and in Germany they violently attacked a woman. They also were holding down this pregnant woman and the one is Australia was also pregnant. I suppose its not that unusual. Behing the lip service to feminism they really are always targetting women. They give lip service to feminism to make the men think the women are ok when really they are the prime target of the cult. They want to destroy children and so the attacks on pregnant women. On the plus side atleast she avoided a ultra sound session.

Thank you for your excellent post. I don’t think anything of what has happened has ever had anything to do wth a virus. Sure, a ‘virus’ has been used to frighten and control people. I think the plan was and still is about ‘How complient will the plebs be’ and it’s worked and still is working. In England I am begining to see the ugly head of eugenics becoming more and more apparent. If I am honest what we are going to see is those who are ‘useless eaters’ slowly disappear…In lock down hot spots in UK people are being paid £13 a day to self isolate….desperate people who are poor will willingly line up for £13 a day. What they are not being told is that to qualify for £13 pound they must have a PCR test. This test throws up many false +ve results for whatever it is… Read more »

Very true, but it will take decades to complete just to deal with the sheer number of bodies and the best way to achieve that is through sterilization.

There’s a series of Stargate episodes dealing with the scenario and the Utopia series is also worth watching for an insight on how it is to be done.

I know and it will spread eugenics is the end game. So, far in England poor people are basically being ‘paid’ on the proviso of a PCR test. Many, if not all will show +ve .
What we need to remember is no test exists and thousands of people have ‘died because of covid-19.’

The poor, the needy, the old, the sick, the disabled – (‘Useless eaters’ what a term, Kissinger I think’ ) Will end up in quarentine camps. Remember these people are +ve for something. We know just how ‘deadly this virus is’ ergo sum they die ……excuse ? covid 19. Oh my, Mr Gates et al are going to make even the Nazis moderate in comparison.

There is only one solution to the neo nazi covid cult press. Switch it off. All that happened was some people climbed up on some stairs. Not exactly news worthy. Why continue watching such media expecting them to change? There is other more wholesome media like Kilez More was there singing this song. It doesn’t seem very right wing.

I have stopped watching most news. I still do visit this site, listen to The Corbett Report, Joe Rogan, Ben Swann. I also compulsively check my local news channel, which is thoroughly propagandized. Ideally I would just skim headlines so as not to give them the satisfaction of a click, but I do sometimes read articles, and post comments (which are usually moderated, but it’s sometimes cathartic to type out my vitriol).

But what good does my restricted media diet do if my parents and siblings, who are my closest friends, are watching 24/7 CNN?
