The Cult of the Brave New Normal

Dr Bruce Scott

(Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)

In March, it was just a three-week lockdown, to flatten the curve so as not to overwhelm the NHS. The narrative has quickly evolved. It has progressed from what seemed a reasonable idea of keeping NHS bed space free based on the completely false Neil Fergusson prediction that hospitals would be overwhelmed by patients suffering from COVID19.

This never happened. Many weeks passed where face masks were not needed and then suddenly in July, long after the majority of supposed COVID19 deaths had occurred, face masks were made compulsory.

Indeed, the UK government advice from the likes of Chris Whitty and the World Health Organisation was that face masks were not effective in stopping the spread of COVID19 or in contracting it; science does not change that quick – anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar.

The result is that we have now fallen deep into a Covidian Cult, a totalitarian psychotic narrative that has little connection to reality or to the facts.

The opposition to official government narratives regarding Covid19 are well known. I will not bother again telling you what is already known or can be readily ascertained.

Suffice to say, one just needs to type into Google “The Great Barrington Declaration” or ACU2020, where one can read about the doctors, scientists and lawyers who are opposing multi-governmental COVID19 restrictions and laws of social distancing, lockdown, mandatory/coerced consent to vaccines, and mandatory face masks, amongst other things.

Their essential argument, contra the multi-government policy on COVID19, is that virus is not the danger we are being told it is; the data on COVID19 is clear: we do not need to lockdown society, wreck the economy, or frighten people into death as they are scared to leave home for fear of catching COVID19 or seek medical treatment for non-COVID19 illness, which has happened.

Specifically, many doctors and scientists argue that face masks are not protective and could be very harmful. Dr Jay Bhattacharya, a signatory of the Great Barrington Declaration, which 40,000 medical, public health scientists and medical practitioners have signed, said that the use of face masks are not supported in the scientific literature. There is no randomised data to indicate if they are effective in reducing the spread of COVID19.

Indeed, face masks have no effectiveness in the spread of influenza. This is backed up by the fact that social distancing and face masks have not made a difference on yearly rate of influenza deaths in the UK.

On the 15th October 2020 the stark reality that we are being led by a psychotic Covidian cult narrative became even more evident; Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, announced with great glee that couples marrying would no longer have to wear face masks when tying the knot. Of course, the Priest, Vicar, or Registrar etc conducting the ceremonies never had to wear a mask to conduct the marriage ceremony. What kind of political leader would impose on couples, who for all intent and purposes will be living together and spending the night together after the wedding, have to wear a mask during their wedding ceremony? Would a mask be required for the happy couple to consummate their marriage on their wedding night?

This ridiculous face mask rule imposed by Nicola Sturgeon shows quite clearly the dark side of Scottish politics. It is ridiculous because Nicola Sturgeon (as well as all the other MSP’s and Holyrood staff) has met many people from other households indoors in parliament (before and after face masks were imposed), whilst at the same time continually telling the masses that they cannot meet people from other households indoors. One rule for me, one for thee.

The paranoid fuelled COVID19 rules delivered by Sturgeon on a daily basis during the week and even reiterated on her twitter account on a frequent basis, and the blatant inconsistent and illogical nature of these rules, are not meant to console or comfort the masses. No, they are a deliberate attempt to disorientate and control the minds of the masses.

Cult leaders do this to their followers to short circuit their critical thinking. Cult leaders will also change the rules or the narrative at a whim for no apparent reason. Hence the change of now being able to get married without a face mask, even though the COVID19 restrictions are being tightened again all over the UK; it makes no sense, its not meant to, and the masses are meant to follow, not question and obey.

Cult leaders want to make the masses follow chaos.

This kind behaviour is equally applicable to the realm of BDSM (bondage, domination, sado-masochism) or the Master-Slave dialectic. In the world of BDSM, a master or mistress will impose illogical rules, but demand to be obeyed. As a slave in BDSM scenario might say, “Mistress is correct even when Mistress is wrong”.

This forms the basis for a human subject becoming an object, of becoming alienated from themselves. This logical structure underpins the dictates from politicians in relation to COVID19 restrictions. The blatant flaunting of the dictates by the likes of Catherine Calderwood, Neil Fergusson, Dominic Cummings, Margaret Ferrier (and the many more we have not heard about yet) is testament to the fact that they don’t really take this COVID19 restrictions all that seriously.

This abusive objectification and alienation are what totalitarians and cult leaders want to achieve and impose on their followers. Initiation rituals like mask wearing (especially when getting married) and social distancing, attack a person with terror, pain, humiliation and subjugation. Of course, anyone who has been in an abusive relationship will tell you that pointless rituals or behaviours are demanded by the abusive and sadistic abusive partner to wear the other person down.

As is so often found in cults and individuals in abusive relationships, the cult members or abused partner will even go to great lengths to defend the cult leader’s demands or the person who abuses them. In our current predicament, this is highly ironic as the Scottish government have recently introduced psychological abuse as a crime.

This abusive dialectic that is playing out between the UK government/Scottish government/devolved assemblies and the masses might explain why so many people cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is being inflicted upon them right in front of them, or right on their faces in the guise of masks and up till recently masked up in front of the alter getting married.

The problem we have is this: people generally find it very difficult to recognise the delusional nature of a totalitarian master narrative. One case in point was Nazi Germany; cognitive dissonance was a prevalent characteristic of people during these times. People who cannot see the totalitarian moves made upon them are not ignorant or unintelligent; they have been initiated into a cult through the methods of initiation, chaos, confusion and the short circuiting of critical thinking.

We are being initiated and conditioned for a future way of life where there will be no return to normality, and it has nothing to do with a virus. This is why children are being socially distanced in schools, are made to wear masks in certain contexts, are treated like bio-hazards by their teachers and are frightened half to death by being made to obsessively wash their hands multiple times a day with an abrasive hand sanitiser.

Drawing on psychoanalytic thought, such directives pushed onto children will ensure that many children will grow up to be socially anxious and fearful of social interaction. It begs belief that the Adverse Childhood Experiences “movement” (ACEs) in Scotland are utterly silent about the harms being committed upon children as a result of these scientifically challengeable COVID19 restrictions and rules.

As the Centre for Disease Control state, the survival rate estimates for people aged 0-19 years for COVID19 is 99.997%, 20-49 years is 99.98%, 50-69 years 99.5%, and 70 years+ 94.6% respectively. And now we have a casedemic where the rates of false positives (89%-94% of positives potentially false) and the PCR test does not even test for COVID19 (See ACU, 2020). Of course, the politicians ignore the fact that the PCR test was never intended to be a diagnostic instrument to be used to inform public health policy, never mind mandate it.

The culture of deindividuation that the totalitarian abusive cult-like rituals of social distancing, mask wearing and not being able to meet people freely is also primed to be ramped up even further; Nicola Sturgeon has stated that she is considering face masks to be compulsory even in outside spaces-seven months into this COVID19 nightmare-another illogical and ridiculous idea with no basis in science.

We are now entering a precarious tipping point; not from the virus, but from deindividuated members of the cult slavishly following these new rules and not challenging the wearing of masks outside. No doubt the “nudging” from the Government will work a treat on the masses

This is because the UK and Scottish governments are manipulating, coercing and frightening us into following the rules and shaming us when we don’t. The UK and Scottish Governments are using applied behavioural psychology, breaking the ethical guidelines for psychologists, to deliberately ramp up fear in the population. A group of psychologists called Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours (SPI-B) of SAGE have been tasked with advising the UK and Scottish Governments how to get people to adhere to COVID 19 restrictions.

From their document which is freely available on the UK Government website, it is written:

A substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened.”

And:

The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging.”

The psychologists of SPI-B and the UK government knew fear alone would not be enough. Therefore, SPI-B suggested to government to use and promote social approval for desired behaviours, to consider enacting legislation to compel required behaviours, and to consider the use of social disapproval for failure to comply.

They have used the Mainstream Media and Social media, along with false fact-checking and censorship to get their message across and it has been working.

The tactics of the SPI-B psychologists informing UK and Scottish Governments’ policies on the COVID19 response are in my opinion contrary to the ethical and practice guidelines of The British Psychological Society (BPS); the psychology equivalent of the Hippocratic oath for medicine.

The mainstream media are silent on these unethical practices of deliberately ramping up people’s sense of personal threat, creating a culture of feeling shame to follow COVID19 regulations and encouraging people to shame others for not following regulations. From the reports of several mental health charities, UK and Scottish Government reports, mental ill-health is in a crisis because of the COVID19 response/measures.

Suicide risk factors have undoubtedly been hugely multiplied (house repossessions, unemployment, poverty and stress etc); when the official figures are completed, I have no doubt that there will have been, and there will be to come, many suicides because of the COVID19 lockdown and associated measures.

Our political leaders, despite their lip service to mental health, are aware of the mental health and suicide crisis that now engulfs us, yet they proceed onwards with the COVID19 agenda regardless complicit in more psychological abuse being foisted upon people, knowing full well that this will cause untold misery.

Vladimir Bukovsky, a Soviet dissident who was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital (enforced incarceration for political dissidents) described well our current predicament:

The peculiar features of the Soviet political system, the Communist ideology, the uncertainties and difficulties of the science of psychiatry, the labyrinths of the human conscience-all these have weirdly woven themselves together to create a monstrous phenomenon, the use of medicine against man.”
Forward from Russia’s political hospitals, 1977 (S. Bloch and P. Reddaway) by Vladimir Bukovsky.

Like the Soviet Union today the monstrous phenomenon is again the use of science and medicine against the masses by many Governments in the battle against COVID19. Not only do our political leaders want to “keep us safe until a vaccine” but they seem to want to destroy the economy, create huge unemployment and destroy businesses. They also want to monitor our every move and impose restrictions on work, travel and social and family life.

There will be no end to this nightmare; there never is an end when one is in an abusive relationship. The goalposts always keep moving. The victim is broken down until they can offer no resistance.

Indeed, Bill Gates recently indicated that even if we get a vaccine for COVID19, there will be no return to normal as it will probably take a second or third generation vaccine to get us back to normal. Of course, we know full well, when we get that second or third generation vaccine, it will not herald a return to the old normal.

Unfortunately, at the moment there is not enough people (especially politicians and mainstream media journalists) with the necessary courage to call out the tyranny and call out the abuser. Historically this has also been a problem; politically and within an abusive context (e.g., the victim finds great difficulty calling out their abuser). In a critical remark and warning to the West, Alexander Solzhenitsyn said in his Harvard address in 1973:

A decline in courage may be the most striking feature which an outside observer notices in the West in our days. The Western world has lost its civil courage, both as a whole and separately, in each country, each government, each political party, and, of course, in the United Nations…..Should one (have to) point out that from ancient times declining courage has been considered the beginning of the end?”

Is this Scotland’s beginning of the end? Will the masses start to wake up to the dictatorial and totalitarian measures? Only time will tell. It might be too late. If it is the end, just don’t say you didn’t see it coming or nobody told you.

There is hope. We can learn from history and enact that famous dictum after World War II; it should never happen again. Perhaps our politicians should mediate upon the Nuremberg Code of guidelines for determining what constitutes a war crime and UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights Article 6.

Nuremberg Code:

  1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
  2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
  3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.
  4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
  5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.
  6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.
  7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
  8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.
  9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.
  10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights: Article 6 – Consent

  1. Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.
  2. Scientific research should only be carried out with the prior, free, express and informed consent of the person concerned. The information should be adequate, provided in a comprehensible form and should include modalities for withdrawal of consent. Consent may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without any disadvantage or prejudice. Exceptions to this principle should be made only in accordance with ethical and legal standards adopted by States, consistent with the principles and provisions set out in this Declaration, in particular in Article 27, and international human rights law.
  3. In appropriate cases of research carried out on a group of persons or a community, additional agreement of the legal representatives of the group or community concerned may be sought. In no case should a collective community agreement or the consent of a community leader or other authority substitute for an individual’s informed consent.

The Nuremberg Code and UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights Article 6 make for sobering reading when it comes to governmental mandates or ideas in the pipeline regarding COVID19.

Just think of face masks (especially for children), social distancing, travel restrictions, work restrictions, immunity passports and ideas about giving people a rushed out unlicensed vaccine for COVID19 (which will be indemnified) which has not been assessed for the long-term side effects.

The cult-like nature of the Brave New Normal that is COVID19 is insidiously pervading more and more aspects of our lives, with seemingly less and less science to back it up, and curiously being seen by those in power as an opportunity to reshape our society, not for our good, but for the good of those in power.

Perhaps we should all think about what all this means for us, our children, our grandchildren and democracy in the UK and wider world.

Nobody is immune. While this is an astute article the doctor nonetheless struggles to fully separate from the context of existing narratives. Sure cults are all the rage today. Everything is a cult and everything is a cult tactics. But this is pulp for the masses. A misdirection. What is going on here is no cult nothing. It is hard math and science. Game theory, cybernetics and eugenics. Your run of the mill cult leader is an amateur by comparison. Flying blind in the dark. They couldn’t pull off something like this in 100 lifetimes. And it cheapens the impact of the message to call this a cult, when it is something so much worse. That everyone needs to see.
Changing the rules of the game is a game strategy. Game Theory. It’s cheating of course, but it immediately makes you the game master. Unbeatable. Every government uses this strategy all the time. It how they project power. They change the rules of the game, throw one or more sectors into turmoil, then you beg them to stop or change. Masks are cybernetic programming. A conditioned Input/output response. Fear/mask. It’s self correcting as all cybernetic systems are. Mask Nazis scream and noncompliers to comply. Signs and messaging fix the parameters. You need them here you don’t need them there. Mask on mask off like a robot. And of course the tried and true trauma based mind control is hard at work. COViD is so serious you can’t even be by your loved ones bedside when they die. Now do you accept it and all it’s seriousness? These are all defined tactics taken directly from books that are 100 years old. These strategies are employed against you 100 times a day already. It’s a defined system that has been used on us for our entire lifetimes. It’s no cult. We’re all in it whether or not we joined or know it even exists.
Google The Minds of Men. The award winning movie by Truthstream Media. A great starting point. You need to see the forest for the trees before any of the doctors arguments are going to matter. You have to see the game for yourself and know it when you see it. Otherwise the playing field will ever be level enough for your complaints to matter.

after reading the various comments to this article, it’s clear to me who is in the grip of a conspiracy theory or psychosis regarding COVID19. It’s most of the readers of offguardian, I’m afraid. I’m sorry about this as the site has done sterling work in other respects. If people doubt the reality of COVID I would like them to explain the large spike in mortality documented at https://www.euromomo.eu/. This cannot be blamed on the lockdowns as the lockdowns were in place when it subsided, and spikes were also observed in countries without lockdowns.

I do respect your view… but if you allow yourself to dive deep, the spike in mortality is comparable to other winter seasons and you can even read on CDC site that only 6% of those deaths are actually a direct correlation to covid, others are just test-positive … there is a huge difference and if you want to inform yourself, let me know why there is a Barrington declaration of thousands of doctors signing

Wearing masks isn’t any sort of experimental procedure. Is something so old that it was already being done in the Spanish flu pandemic. The benefits of wearing masks to avoid infection from respiratory viruses have been well known for a really long time.

Yes they used masks in the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-19. I believe the mortality rate was about 300 times higher than for Covid-19. It’s almost like the masks didn’t work!

Completely false. In 1920 tests done on facemasks in response to the spanish flu proved that the amount of layering required meant hypoxia for the wearer. The only benefits are in stopping bacteria through exhalation. Hence the requirement of surgeons to change less than every 4 hours,due to bacterial and mould cultures forming.

In SURGERY. Bacteria are much larger (.3-.5 micron) than a virus (.04-.1 micron) and are stopped by surgical masks. During the spanish flu many contracted bacterial pneumonia due to continual mask wearing. Tony Fauci wrote a paper on this years ago.

I think the first lock down might have been when it says in the bible they built this city with a huge tower and then the people split up into different languages and were spread around the earth. Reason being the “social distancing” could have caused the isolation of language and fragmentation of the population into “bubbles”. Left/ right just different sides of the same coin. They talk about creating globalisation/ the threat of globalisation when really they are nationalists and always have been.

Seeing we are idiots,it should not be hard to provide indepent assessment of data proving masks stop covid? Plenty to suggest that a cold climate married to mask wearing will lead to bacterial infections and increasedrisk of respiratory infection,as mould and bacteria cultures form quicker when there is a greater temperature discrepancy.

If you are infected, wearing a mask may reduce your bio vapor spread distance. Wearing a mask will not prevent infection. It is stated on most mask packaging that the masks do not protect you from corona virus/covid19. Take note that this so called virus has never been isolated by anyone. So is it even a virus? In a stage 4 bio lab the techs are suited up in a space like suit. Yet we are to believe that a singular mask is going to save our butt. There are thousands of doctors all over the world speaking out about the inconsistencies involved in whatever this is.

New England Journal of Medicine in May 2020 noted that:18

“We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to COVID-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic COVID-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes).

The chance of catching COVID-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic …

It is also clear that masks serve symbolic roles. Masks are not only tools, they are also talismans that may help increase health care workers’ perceived sense of safety, well-being, and trust in their hospitals.

Although such reactions may not be strictly logical, we are all subject to fear and anxiety, especially during times of crisis. One might argue that fear and anxiety are better countered with data and education than with a marginally beneficial mask …”

Thank you Dr. Scott for pointing out some important aspects. There has to be a way to use these tactics of shaming against the very people that are able to so efficiently suppress dissent among the large mass.

People Prevented From Buying “Non-Essential” Items Due to Lockdown

People living under new lockdown rules in Wales have been prevented from buying so-called “non-essential” items, which are being covered with plastic sheeting at supermarkets.

“Non-essential items being covered up in supermarkets in Wales. Has it really come to this?” asked journalist Grant Tucker.

I’ve said a number of times on this site all ready that Scots are one of tbhe most supine societies out there. I’ve been outside of Scotland a couple of times since this started. My limited experience so far demonstrates to me that most amongst our number here are invertebrates.

There is a particular enjoyment taken from peer policing amongst low and middle status workers here. Whereas a recent trip to Italy left me with the impression that they have accepted the situation with a level of pragmatism, your average service industry worker here now visibly thrives on the opportunity to bark orders and chide subjects as they see fit. Add in the tartan patriotic duty dimension and it’s fucking unbearable.

Scotland can be a vile, as well as severely corrupt little country. Every time I see Oor Wee Nicola and that creep, Leitch (who is fucking revelling in the fame) take to the TV I see a striking similarly to those ridiculous pressers with Blair and Dubya.

People who have followed the Covid script diligently have also shown to be incredibly “triggered” when you point out the associations of more surveillance and dangerous, frightening new laws coming in under the guise of “safety”. They don’t care about the many people, including children, who have suffered incredibly because of these incredulous, hostile laws and tactics; used against all of us. They will defend their position fiercely even if it means using personal attacks on those that don’t agree. Job losses, mental health, suicides and bankruptcy is irrelevant. They won’t read, they are too lazy to be inquisitive and they have no ambition to question and research anything….instead they continue living their selfish lives inconsiderate to the many who are suffering and every bit inconsiderate to the future of our children.

Their inability to not see the tyranny now is inexcusable. Data, science, statistics and time has proven governments around the world have over-hyped the fear and over-reacted the response….yet they still refuse to open their coward little safe bubble.

I have had enough of them. They infuriate me as they are literally keeping this scam going along. They are scared little cowards who cannot cope with what is happening and would rather live in a false fear than face having their ego bruised. Nothing can help these people. They are all lost spiritually.

I completely agree with this – and it has even affected my relationship with family members… I’m just completely gobsmacked by their complete refusal to look at pure data, as well as their ridiculous conflation of alternative opinion with ‘alt-right’. This is so far beyond the fake left-right divide, but then again, a lot of them actually believe in that chimera. I suppose, then, my gobsmackedness is in line…

Consider it from a religious angle: some people are looking for solutions to accept wholesale. They bask in the acceptance, and view counter-arguments as deviance or attempts to confuse. As an extreme, consider the dystopian movie Omega Man.

Yep. As I keep saying and I’ve posted many comments on this blog to the effect that these imbeciles or ‘masked zombies’ as I often refer to them as, are the collaborators of this war. The true enemy that walks among us.
Yet they’re so gullible or just plain stupid, they don’t realize they are are being enslaved. They’ve literally been hopelessly indoctrinated by the incessant, fear porn blasting out of their TV’s and radios, or on Facebook, which they believe every lying word of; being pumped into their simple, non-inquisitive minds.
What rational and psychologically ‘normal’ person would acquiesce to, or even welcome the notion of a ‘new normal’ society, where just the mandatory requirement for everyone to humiliate and degrade themselves by wearing dehumanizing face masks everywhere (for no logical reason), and to obey so-called ‘social distancing’ mandates, as though their fellow humans are all toxic biohazards? If people really were that sick and infectious they pose a health risk to others, chances are they would not be in shopping malls spreading whatever infectious disease they might be afflicted with, but more likely: either dead, or seriously ill and safely isolated in hospital.
Not only are these fools simple and bewilderingly stupid, they are bordering on what many would consider dangerously psychotic.
Seriously…There have already been one or two isolated incidents in the US where such deluded loonies (aka ‘Karens’), have shot people in shopping precincts for what they consider the heinous crime of not wishing to join their army and wear a hideous, dehumanizing Darth Vader face adornment in a store.

I wouldn’t be entirely sure the madness goes quite so far … although fair enough it’s gone waaaaaay too far as it is. They’re always pressing our buttons and ramping the hysteria up a notch on each side. I’m not saying loonies haven’t actually shot people but you always have to bear in mind that so much alleged news is simply faked for the purpose of button-pushing and anything that sounds a little OTT I’d be very wary of.

With all due respect Ana, I think this is a misreading of “ordinary people”, because it applies to most of my friends and relatives whose intellectual capacities and sense I never specially doubted before. It is as Bruce Scott says, the work of SPI-B and the governments’ advisers and spin masters who have bypassed the cerebrum with their fear-porn and gone straight to the emotional centre where soothing messages of togetherness and respect for “heros” calm their fears and displace them onto anyone who might threaten this safe little cocoon.
It is as fiendishly clever as it is inhumanly malignant, and what they have destroyed is now beyond estimation. Much as I would like to blame the “credulous” for their “ignorance and stupidity”, and can’t feel sorry for their submission into victimhood, I can’t do so in all honesty, any more than I can wear a mask knowing it to be useless.

this is an interesting read from a Swedish woman who was living as an expat in The Netherlands and now returned home

“I’ve realize unfortunately how much this virus and pandemic has controlled my daily life and the actions I take and what I do, because I live in a place affected by it. Hearing myself speak these past couple of days, I realize how it’s occupied and taken over my entire life.

I think in restrictions, what am I allowed to do, how long am I allowed to do it. How many people at a table. How many people at home. I wake up and go to sleep only thinking in RULES.
 
Long thread that might not make any sense but long story short I feel like I’ve gone mad and now arrived at rehab.

Hi, I find this surprising to be honest having lived in North Holland as an ex pat to the UK throughout this damned affair.The city in which I reside has been pretty mask free. I wore one at the beginning 2 our 3 times as I was so terrified, but I was an outlier.
However, over the past 2-3 weeks there has been a huge media campaign to wear masks. I’ve no idea what the poor people have been watching on tv/hearing on the radio but over night I saw lines of people starting to Q up outside supermarkets, masked up with terrified eyes peering over the top. They scrubbed their shopping basket handles thoroughly. The same people who strolled about before and since March quite happily, mask free and not bothering to wipe everything down. I’ve seen a fair few alone in cars masked up and cycling. Sad and very oppressive. But new to here.

having been in an abusive relationship myself I can confirm. I have after this studied a lot on narcissism and I can spot manipulation techniques from afar, using my gut feeling. It has never failed me until now and all my alarm bells are ringing very loudly with every day of this ‘crisis’ proceeding.

At one point, you just become so exhausted from the constant changing of the script that you just give up and obey, I remember. When I thought I had resolved one issue with him, the next day he would introduce the next issue. One day he could say the sky is blue, the next it was green and because I was so confused I just gave up on protesting and followed along. Of course, every now and then I would be given one nice day where things seemed ‘back to normal’ and he was kind, only to take it away again after some time. Just as what we are seeing now, all of our freedom is gone but if our leaders give us one relaxation we are so happy with it, we tend to forget about all the rest. And we can be sure that in the future, more freedom will be taken away. The longer I stayed in the relationship, hoping it would get better, the more it turned into a nightmare. The only solution was to walk away, refuse to play the sick game and never look back. Before things got out of hand, or else it could have become dangerous for sure.

What makes me feel pessimistic about all of this, is how many people indeed who haven’t experienced it are totally oblivious about it. Also when you haven’t experienced it, it is so difficult to explain to anybody else. It’s almost impossible, people will look at you as if you are the crazy one. If you’ve never viscerally experienced true evil, it’s really hard to recognize, also because it disguises as the opposite of evil.

Thanks Anthony, well appreciated! The problem is they don’t indeed, it’s difficult to wake them up, and the abuser counts on many people being oblivious. When I was stuck in the relationship, I remember there were a few people trying to get through to me, but I just didn’t listen. I was ‘programmd’ not to listen, I locked people out and my ex said they were crazy. He tried to isolate me from any kind of outside information that would break the spell, just like you see labeling as ‘crazy’ up until even censorship of alternative media. Patterns of totalitarianism are the same everywhere, on a micro and macro level.

That’s so very interesting, Ilse. I have a friend who was married to a narcissist but he was a covert narcissist and had everyone fooled – I thought my friend was so very lucky to have this wonderful guy (as did her other friends and family) and his narcissism didn’t take the form of trying to lock out her friends. In your experience of narcissism I can see how much it resembles what’s going on now. Just as you were programmed not to listen so are people who rabidly believe in this virus. This casts a new perspective on it for me. I know it’s a psyop but I obviously don’t appreciate the full extent of the “psy” part.

Number 3 of the Nuremberg Code brings animal subjects into the mix – with its blessing. Unfortunately, this ever present feature of experimentation brings into the mix, as well, those considered to be little more than “animals” – as if being an “animal” makes their use as resources acceptable. And with COVID-19 and its ensuing “bio-security,” all humans (except for the elites and scientists) are fast becoming “animals” – ergo, acceptable subjects for experimentation.

Added to that, our Factory Farming regime has already tested “animals” in a controlled, inescapable, totally abusive scenario; and found it to be very workable and profitableat Now we’re ready to extend the scenario’s reach to include human “animals.”

“They have used the Mainstream Media and Social media, along with false fact-checking and censorship to get their message across and it has been working.”

Correction, the network of distribution is the cult network of mass man’s democracy, his journalistic and social media. The cult is democracy, a collectivist cult, the cult leaders are the representatives chosen by mass man himself. The architects who have seized on this cult, through its own channels of distribution, the democratic media, and through its own representatives and authorities, are those who have ammased mass amounts of funds and power on the basis of the activities, beliefs and values of the mass of participants of this cult, which is modern society itself.

Unfortunately the foreign intruder concept which lies as the foundation of the covid scare, a concept which allows for solutions like masks, distancing and vacinations is as primitive as the blame a global elite theories of the opposition. It doesn’t matter here whether the enemy is real,the conceptual logic is what counts. Such ‘intruder’ blame theories as both are do not look at how our modern societies all are ‘spiritually diseased’ bodies, extremely susceptible to the influence of ‘alien’ substances, whether in physical terms, or psychological.
Because the crowds of the opposition including the commenters here are democratic crowds who’s main tendency is to be hostile and to blame, who’s capacity of self-reflection is poorly developed, and who’s capacity of big thinking in despite of their seeming grasp of the situation -which is mostly deceptive- is nihil. In other words, the democratic intelligence, that of mediocrity, and their tendency towards hostility is no match to the intelligence of the dictatorial forces.

The most thoughtful must now be able to see that it is this monster created by democracy, the media, this church of the people itself is thé distributor of the collective delusion, that in despite of facts, it cannot be stopped. That it are the representatives of the people cracking down on the people everywhere. That this monster called democracy, this system of a thousand little dictators, this collectivist system, in context of amplification of power made possible by modern technology is at the basis. That modern democratic states are the most hyper-regulated societies ever on the face of the Earth, that the extent and the grip of the state has never been so great. That such states are the basis which make possible a totalitarianism.

BRILLIANT ARTICLE!
Here’s more to add to it…
>>The first duty of an MP is to Uphold Parliamentary Democracy.
That democracy has suffered serious erosion since the passing of the Coronavirus Act in early 2020 under the pretext of “dealing with” the COVID19 outbreak.
We have suffered as a consequence a dangerous transition towards rule by Prime Ministerial edict and ministers arrogating to themselves powers un-tempered by oversight by the elected Parliament.
It is inconceivable that members of Parliament are unaware of what has been engineered or of the way the COVID19 outbreak has been spun and misrepresented so as to manufacture an excuse and justification for it. Their inaction and failure to rise to the defence of our democracy – an issue vital for the immediate and long-term future of the country and the wellbeing of its citizens – cannot be construed as anything but collaboration with an enemy.
A “debate” and vote in Parliament on 30th September,2020 in which the Coronavirus Act came up for review, saw collaborative MPs neglect the opportunity to restore that oversight and bring to an end the virtual coup carried out by a criminal faction within the incumbent government.
It should be borne in mind that the members of that criminal faction are only able to do what they do because their fellow MPs have taken no action to curb their excesses and force them to behave responsibly.
That negligence on the part of MPs reveals them to be accessories to the crime, in betrayal of the trust placed in them by their constituents. We contend that they should not be allowed to hide their true allegiances or lack thereof behind the collective action of party politics, propaganda, sophistry or spin and they should be named for what they actually are: enemies of the people.
By the same token, credit must be given where it is due; the small number of MPs who did do their duty should be named for what they are; friends of the people.
For now, the designation of Friend or Enemy will be decided on how they vote on the Coronavirus Bill.
Future votes on this Bill and other Bills affecting the survival of democracy itself will be monitored and the door will remain open for any MP to change his or her designation by his or her voting behaviour.
We start then with simple lists of Friends and Enemies.
Thank you!

I don’t see on the list of Enemies the names of the Labour MPs who followed the party whip and abstained on the bill (and will no doubt abstain in any future bills). Surely they are as complicit as the Tories who voted in favour of further restrictions. I’ve written to my MP who falls into this quisling category and have received no reply, not a word. Are they too ashamed of themselves (unlikely) or do they think they are now immune from the job of representing their constituents and happily settled on their careerist / job-for-life trajectory?

about the evidence for the usefulness of masks:

“We have provided the first clinical efficacy data of cloth masks, which suggest HCWs should not use cloth masks as protection against respiratory infection. Cloth masks resulted in significantly higher rates of infection than medical masks, and also performed worse than the control arm. The controls were HCWs who observed standard practice, which involved mask use in the majority, albeit with lower compliance than in the intervention arms. The control HCWs also used medical masks more often than cloth masks. When we analysed all mask-wearers including controls, the higher risk of cloth masks was seen for laboratory-confirmed respiratory viral infection. ”
https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577
“It would appear that despite two decades of pandemic preparedness, there is considerable uncertainty as to the value of wearing masks. For instance, high rates of infection with cloth masks could be due to harms caused by cloth masks, or benefits of medical masks. The numerous systematic reviews that have been recently published all include the same evidence base so unsurprisingly broadly reach the same conclusions. 2 However, recent reviews using LOWER QUALITY EVIDENCE (my emphasis) found masks to be effective. Whilst also recommending robust randomised trials to inform the evidence for these interventions. 5
https://www.cebm.net/…/masking-lack-of-evidence-with…/
Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza.
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article
Conclusion: This systematic review found LIMITED (my emphasis) evidence that the use of masks might reduce the risk of viral respiratory infections. In the community setting, a possible reduced risk of influenza like illness was found among mask users. In health care workers, the results show no difference between N95 masks and surgical masks on the risk of confirmed influenza or other confirmed viral respiratory infections, although possible benefits from N95 masks were found for preventing influenzalike illness or other clinical respiratory infections. Surgical masks might be superior to cloth masks but data are limited to 1 trial.

Yeah, many of the boxes those masks are packed in (typically 50 disposable face masks), have a warning printed on one side, which clearly states that.
So WTF are they mandating the use of something which even the manufacturers themselves warn are ineffective and useless?
The only reason I can think of is that our treacherous, lying slave masters can use them as a kind of ‘yardstick’ to easily measure their efficacy, but not of preventing the spread of a relatively harmless virus, but the efficacy of their propaganda and rampant fear-mongering; and right now, they should be delighted with its apparent success.
That also being the very reason why everyone must refuse en-masse to wear them and comply with any of their bizarre and illegal mandates, designed purely to crush us and enslave us all.
But the real dilemma we (wide awake, rational thinkers) face, is how to awaken the compliant and sleepwalking masked zombies from their mainstream media induced stupor.

 Cloth masks may prevent transmission of covid-19: 

“We believe that these decisions should be informed by evidence. Although no direct evidence indicates that cloth masks are effective in reducing transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the evidence that they reduce contamination of air and surfaces is convincing and should suffice to inform policy decisions on their use in this pandemic pending further research.”

Your credulity bar seems to be rather low

No direct evidence that it reduces transmission but convincing evidence that it reduces contamination…now pray tell, would that not count as transmission, or at least a vector of transmission?

Now, read carefully before you throw away this old study: The virus can spread from an infected person’s mouth or nose in small liquid particles when they cough, sneeze, speak, sing or breathe heavily. These liquid particles are different sizes, ranging from larger ‘respiratory droplets’ to smaller ‘aerosols’.
Other people can catch COVID-19 when the virus gets into their mouth, nose or eyes, which is more likely to happen when people are in direct or close contact (less than 1 metre apart) with an infected person.
Current evidence suggests that the main way the virus spreads is by respiratory droplets among people who are in close contact with each other.

https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-how-is-covid-19-transmitted

Which to anyone able to read and interpret the written text means that the: main way the virus spreads is by respiratory droplets among people who are in close contact with each other.

The important thing to realise is that when you understand the nature of the alleged COVID-19 pandemic, all discussion about number of cases, mortalities, masks, social distancing, lockdowns, increased suicides and other repercussions are rendered moot.

There is no need for any discussion beyond the fact that the science says there is no “novel” virus.

The science says there is no “novel” virus. That is all we need to know. Everything else becomes irrelevant except to say, of course, there is zero justification for any measure of any kind.

Not only does the science say there is no “novel” virus, no “novel” virus disease and, of course, no pandemic, all the indications are that this is a Trauma-based Mind Control Psychological Operation in the form of a massive “live” pandemic exercise pushed out as a real pandemic situation. It shares many parallels with 9/11 as pointed out in Kevin Ryan’s presentation, https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/14/watch-the-parallels-between-9-11-and-covid19/.

It’s good to get clear on the scientific fraud.

— No distinctive specific symptoms for COVID-19

— Admitted lack of gold standard test for COVID-19

— PCR test used inappropriate for viral testing (its purpose was manufacturing not testing). Clear example:Faith in Quick Test Leads to Epidemic That Wasn’t .

— No clear evidence of origin of RNA used in test

— Authors of scientific papers claiming isolation of virus admit that purification of virus not actually done and seasoned virologist admits lack of awareness of any paper showing purification of virus

— No evidence of what is said to be the virus, SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19

— Test results are irrational (many individuals producing different results on multiple tests) which would only be expected when the testing method used is against scientific testing protocol

— The test contains “q” in its name, RT-qPCR, which should stand for quantitative, however, it is admitted the test is qualitative meaning it cannot test viral load which means they cannot test how many viral particles are carried in the body. For people to be considered infected a viral load needs to be determined.

— High Cycle Quantification (Cq) values undermine validity of test and some PCR tests have high Cq values (Drosten test has 45). The inventor of the test, Kary Mullis, has this to say: “If you have to go more than 40 cycles to amplify a single-copy gene, there is something seriously wrong with your PCR.”

— Before starting with PCR, in the case of presumed RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, the RNA must be converted to complementary DNA (cDNA) with the enzyme Reverse Transcriptase—hence the “RT” at the beginning of “PCR” or “qPCR,” but this transformation process is “widely recognized as inefficient and variable,”

The above issues clearly show that there is no evidence at all to believe in either the virus, SARS-CoV-2 or the alleged illness COVID-19. The clear inference to be made is that all illness and death ascribed to COVID-19 has, in reality, another cause.

It is also extremely telling that the “fact-checking” website attempted a very poor debunking of the above article to which the authors made a rebuttal … and to which no response has been made by the purported debunkers.
https://off-guardian.org/2020/07/31/open-letter-refuting-politifacts-fact-check/

We also see strange omissions of reference to isolation of virus from alleged source, for example, from a “German traveller” in paper, Comparative pathogenesis of COVID-19, MERS and SARS in a non-human primate model.

VERY OBVIOUS INDICATORS OF A PSYOP

Nonsense miracle survivor stories

82-year-old North Staffordshire grandfather with dementia makes miracle recovery – with antibiotics. How is this possible if antibiotics are said not to be a cure?
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-grandfather-dementia-miracle-recovery-covid19-185739628.html

Two US “miracle survivors”

1. 90-year-old Washington grandmother makes miracle recovery from “death’s door”, potato soup being her secret weapon. No images of her suggest she is ill.
2. A 52-year-old Miami man, “gaspin'”, “on the brink of death” and thinking his “days were done” recovers miraculously with anti-malarial, hydroxychloroquine.

Nonsense media stories about an alleged COVID patient (only one example)
The Telegraph shows us 39-year-old London patient, Tara Jane Langston, in ICU.

1. Completely against protocol that a COVID-19 patient would be in an ICU coughing all over the place infecting other ICU patients. In a ventilator OK, but she’s not in a ventilator she only has an oxygen tube.

2. If she’s ill enough to be in ICU it seems very odd that she’d be well enough for an interview not to mention the fact that surely interviewing in ICU would also be completely against protocol.

3. Notice how when she coughs her head goes out of view (when she coughs away the cough sounds real but there’s nothing to say it’s not inserted audio). She shows us her wrist with what looks like taping of tubes and says, “They’ve had to sew that into my artery.” That makes no sense. She tells us she has a cannula, another cannula and a catheter. The nasal cannula makes sense but it’s difficult to know what she’d need the other cannula and catheter for. Her laboured breathing is not particularly convincing.

In this article about Tara in the Guardian, Woman who filmed coronavirus warning receives online abuse, we are told:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/20/dont-take-any-chances-warning-of-woman-with-covid-19-shared-online

“And then the trauma was compounded by online trolls who flooded the family’s inbox with messages accusing them of a hoax.”

1. How would trolls get the “family’s” email address?

2. As it would seem very strange for online trolls to be doing such a thing why doesn’t the article author question this strange behaviour?

Thank you, Maggie, I appreciate the compliment, but it’s more “psyop profiling” as it were. They invest so much in profiling criminals to make the detective work easier and it’s the same for psyops. When you know the MO it’s much easier to work out.

Two distinctive features of psyops are:

1. They alway give us gratuitous signs above and beyond any naturally occurring anomalies in the story, eg, Robbie Parker, alleged father of a Sandy Hook child, walked to the microphone with a big smile on his face, pausing to ostentatiously hyperventilate himself into a state of emotion and then gave a 17-minute press conference whose purpose was simply to plug the fundraising site set up for his daughter who’d died the day before – yep that’s how brazen they are; Larry Silverstein said he said to “pull it” in relation to WTC-7 (of course, Larry would never have said that, it’s just one of their “signs”)

2. They never, ever cheat by faking evidence so well that anyone who believes their story can brandish it in defence of it, eg, they could show us convincing COVID patients but they don’t. It’s not just Tara Jane, no patient looks convincing.

In great support of the existence of these two psyop features is the fact that no one has responded to any of my five 10-point Occam’s Razor challenges despite my engagement with many people who believe the official story of these events: three exercises on 9/11 (WTC-7, planes and death & injury) and one each on Sandy Hook and the Manchester bombing.
https://occamsrazorterrorevents.weebly.com/5000-challenge.html

When I first suspected psyop, as I recall, the first three things I did were:

1. Check Wikipedia for clues – it’s edited by intelligence agents (see https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/07/wikipedia-a-disinformation-operation/) and I believe it is intelligence agents who are responsible for scripting the events with the gratuitous clues – they come up with some corkers, they really do. Sure enough, there was complete nonsense about a Chinese research team publishing a paper showing evidence that Chinese cobras and many-banded kraits were “reservoirs” of the virus – there is no trace now of this page. Right there and then I knew COVID was a psyop … unless, of course, any evidence presented itself to the contrary … but it never did.

2. Do a search in YouTube for “coronavirus miracle survivors”. We have nonsense miracle survivor stories in many psyops including 9/11, Christchurch and Pearl Harbour. Immediately up popped “potato soup” granny. That’s how easy it is.

3. Do a search in YouTube for “coronavirus patients”. Because the injured in psyops never look convincing I assumed it would be the same for the coronavirus patients. Immediately up popped Tara Jane and other patients. (JudyJ alerted me to a story about Tara Jane participating in a bridge competition. Doncha love it? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8830533/The-Bridge-contestant-reveals-genuinely-thought-going-die-Covid-19-battle.html)

So when you know the MO it’s generally very easy to work out if an event is a psyop or not. When all the other epidemics occurred they were either before I woke up to psyops or not really on my radar as possible psyops but now I know about COVID, I’ve looked back at the other ones and they are obviously psyops too. I did think the alleged characteristics of Ebola were very strange but it just didn’t occur that it might be a psyop.

The Great Fire of 1666
Where I do feel I’ve been a bit of a detective is for the Great Fire of 1666. Gloria Moss’s fantastic article on the fire indicates it was a psyop – the number of connections we can see to 9/11 are astonishing.
https://off-guardian.org/2019/09/01/the-great-fire-of-london-cui-bono/

So I wondered about the alleged dead as the evidence suggests that they avoid killing people in psyops unless they want them killed. Only a few people were alleged to have died, one of them being the playwright, James Shirley, 70 at the time. We are told he and his wife were set up in a refugee camp after their house burnt down and they both allegedly died on October 29 – one source tells us James died from “fright” and “exposure” while another source simply says “exposure”. As the fire was from Sep 2-6, it’s hard to see how James died from “fright” nearly two months later and that they died from exposure also seems odd because he seemed a rather illustrious person so you’d wonder how he somehow wasn’t taken better care of by the authorities. That he and his wife died on the same day seems a little odd as well. I wondered if ol’ James might have had a desire to disappear for some reason – did he perhaps owe money or something of that nature?

Well, you’ll never believe it, Maggie.

I looked up his oeuvre and what did I find? A play entitled, “The Gamester”.

The Gamester is a Caroline era stage play, a comedy of manners written by James Shirley, premiered in 1633 and first published in 1637. The play is noteworthy for its realistic and detailed picture of gambling in its era.

Doncha love it?

Cobraa and kraits are also “reservoirs” of deadly poisons, but that’s neither here nor there. It goes without saying that other species tolerate pathogens dangerous to us, and vice versa.

I too saw a coughing elderly lady, maybe on Sky. The “brave” interviewer was sitting maybe 1 metre away.

To summarise the points raised: what exactly is the disease, the pathogen (or other cause), the benefit of the treatments selected (as opposed to others), the rationale for social restriction and advice.

Who will be held responsible for the devastation of physical and mental health, livelihoods and local economies? Other issues include the dogma of viruses, the germ theory of disease, the utter corruption of science and the criminal negligience in government services. Behind all this is oligarchy, fascism and capitalism.

Meantime, in Kafkaland, formerly known as Victoria, demented Daniel Andrews may renege on lifting restrictions tomorrow, coz, you know, 7 cases. Getting ‘cases’ from using a fraudulent test to test for something that’s never been isolated. Andrews has issued ‘notes of caution’ and for ‘Victorians not to bank on all restrictions being lifted’. He also mentioned waiting on the results from thousands of other tests. Sigh.

The sad and exasperating aspect of reports of “positive” results from dogs’ backsides and puddles is that at least some terrified and traumatized True Believers will conclude that what I call the Megadeath Virus of Doom (MVD) is so pervasive and treacherous that it can be “caught” from dogs, puddles, and even the pieces of fruit that reportedly tested MVD-positive.

The fraudulence of the whole thing is breathtaking. And we know about the pawpaw, goat and engine oil all testing positive in Tanzania.
The obscene criminality of the media pushing this whole fear mongering day after day. And a lot of people are now brainwashed.

‘Cases’ (which may be asymptomatic) from a test that’s not fit for purpose, used to justify destroying human rights, and half the population’s happy about it. ‘My rights don’t end where your fear begins’ sums it up.

It’s the cruelty of it though. Imagine a person with depression trying to cope on their own in a tiny flat and their only reason for living comes from interaction with friends and family outside. Imagine a ‘tester’ testing this person against their will, the result showing positive and the person being forced to isolate for two weeks. Many will choose suicide.

The Corona Scandal is the biggest crime against humanity ever perpetrated. Restrictions are designed to induce suffering but fools believe the corrupt politicians and the MSM are keeping them safe. They cite government ‘incompetence’. I suspect Desmond Swayne MP exists to offer false hope and the illusion of democracy, and there’s one in every country.

Half the anti-lockdown movement seems like controlled opposition. No one’s asking where the instructions for lockdowns are coming from. The neighbourhood snitches will realise their terrible error when it’s too late.

Also agree with you about a lot of the opposition to this. Here in Australia there seems to be a right wing, nationalistic, pro capitalist bent to a lot of posts I see, especially amongst the more high profile anti lockdown activists, which I find unsettling. Especially when they seem to point fingers in the opposite direction as to who the actual culprits behind the scamdemic are.

People are rightfully angry because they’re being treated like prisoners when they’re innocent.

How a handful of politicians have the power to destroy people’s lives and freedoms is mind boggling. I don’t have it in me to be an anti-lockdown activist, so I admire those who are marching on the streets. I saw a video of a man in Wales pulling plastic sheeting off items in a supermarket deemed ‘non essential’. We’re coming up to winter and the Welsh parliament decided children’s clothes are ‘non essential’ and therefore banned from sale. I understood his anger. There’s some sadistic psychos making up these rules.

I’d be grateful if an asteroid puts us out of our misery.

I’m starting to wonder if Simon Dolan is controlled opposition. He doesn’t understand that the WEF will eventually eat him for breakfast. The ‘New Normal’ future is exclusively reserved for the multi-billionaires.

Hi Jay, yeah, I’ve seen a few photos of the plastic sheets in the Welsh shops. This whole agenda is deeply cruel and callous and it’s about dehumanising us and also conditioning us to give up our way of life. It’s about a complete transformation of society.
The politicians are just puppets who are doing the bidding of those behind the scamdemic. Yes, they’re the ones at the coalface implementing these vile measures, but they’re answering to those they truly serve.
These slime are doing it for three reasons, or even a combination of all three in my opinion:
1) They’ve been promised very cushy very well paid jobs.
2) They’ve been bribed, you know, secret bank account in Jersey.
3) They’re being blackmailed. A lot of them will have dark secrets in the closet they want to keep hidden.

The Science of the coronavirus responses is pseudoscience. All of it.

Indeed, the rules are so absurd one would have thought they would have provided comedians with endless material: perhaps that’s why they shut down the comedy venues. https://viewsandstories.blogspot.com/2020/10/coronavirus-pseudoscience.html

“Comedy” is alive and well on “The News Quiz” on BBC Radio 4. Now in what seems like the dim and distant past, TNQ used to be one of the best comedic shows on Radio 4 (admittedly a low bar nowadays). But it started going way downhill after the Brexit vote and into the era of the Trump presidency. The “jokes” of the right-on cool comedians just became that much more predictable. It’s even worse now. Not having an audience doesn’t help. These “radical” “comedians” don’t even draw attention to that.

At least it’s not quite as dire as “The Now Show”.

I notice in the photograph above that some of the masked are wearing masks with a release valve. I see these masks when out and about, and will even get the occasional glare from someone wearing a mask with a valve.

But it is well known that these valved masks only protect the wearer from dust, but allow a free flow of air in an outward direction. These valved masks are even more useless than a non valved mask in stopping the spread of disease. This information has been given to the public.

So doesn’t the wide acceptance of valved masks expose mask wearing for what it really is? Nothing but a show of compliance, an expression of virtue, and a pretence of solidarity. If these people really believed in masks, and believed in the ‘science’ that they have swallowed, then surely no one would be wearing a valved mask.

if it wasn’t already clear from the PDFs, I am strongly encouraging people to actually print these (on any colour printer), and post them up, wherever the official fear propaganda might be found.

it is my fondest hope that if enough of these go up, some of the sheep can be induced to actually insert a pickle up their nose, at which point the transformation of western society into an absurd parody of itself, will be complete.

this was produced by editing an actual NHS propaganda poster, as seen below. a vast trove of such propaganda material, suitable for similar comic meddling, may be found at the following link:

https://coronavirusresources.phe.gov.uk/resources/posters/

the face mask was already present in the original poster. when I removed it, I found that the poor person underneath, had neither a nose, nor a mouth, nor even a chin. perhaps this is how HM Government sees the population: as nameless, faceless, soulless drones, who must meekly submit to whatever indignities the Proper Authorities, in their boundless wisdom, choose to impose upon them.

I’m sure the poor man is happier now, since I’ve restored his face. however, he’s still frowning, not smiling, because of course, he has a pickle up his nose. not even to mention the demented fascist regime he’s compelled to live under.

We didn’t have mobile phones. We could speak to each other on our Parent’s Landlines, when we hoped they weren’t listening, but because we didnt have the internet, nor email, the only thing we had was each other names and adreeses..and we used to write letters and poems to each other, sometime with a liitle bit of poetry and hand drawn art. WE didn’t photoshop anything but sometimes exchanged photos – developed at the chemist taken on film..occasionally someone whould take a photo of us together – and we would exchange them, but it wasn’t really like it is now….we would just be with each other and just naturally talk for hours, or if we couldnt be together for work, distance whatever…we would talk for hours on the phone

No one put a pause in, recorded it to a computer, and changed what we actually said..we just said what we thought without any fear of anyone else listening in.

What we were saying was between us no one else’s business.

No one else could give a shit. It is nothing to do with you…so keep your nose out

We are just good friends – we text each other and support each other, even occasionally phone each other – when someone in our families has died or are in great diistress. I am human too and sure I will ocaasionally talk to my ex, but we mainly communicate now by sending photo too each other of our Grandkids – who are pretty close in age

Of course I hug her when I see her, and so does my Wife. She’s a Lovely Girl and Actualy goes to London on Demos – demanding Her Pension with The WASPI Women

My wife and I normally meet her at gigs…She is 63 and still looks 23..Both of Them. I just can’t quite keep up with these two girls…they go running off and laughing together. I guess things could be worse and almost certainly will be…oh dear…but they will get better..maybe not for us old people but for our Children and our Grandchildren

I loved the sound of Tony Chapman’s voice it always gave me goose bumps, but I didn’t care for the look of him. My favourite Family song was ‘In Your Own Time’ The same went for Van Morrison and Paul Carrick, who lived down the road from me. His parents had a Decorating shop which his brother John took over, but he retired about five years ago. I knew them well becasue my Dad who was a Builder used to send me up there for paint and stuff. Joe Cocker who I knew, also lived down the road from me and used to frequent our local, The Punch bowl, in his smelly Afghan and long greasy hair, he’d lay across the seats with his girlfriend of the time. Most people would avoid going in the room when they were in rather than tell them to get off, but my boyfriend(still husband) and I didn’t care, we were also young? I never dreamed they would be famous.. and now they are three of my favourites.

Well we are Engaged now – we have both got each others rings…

I have been offered a job in London after a year on the dole – with full relocation expenses….Will you come with me…

And she Blushed Again and Hugged Me..She Says Yeh…I am coming with you…

It was Really Tough For Both of Us…We didn’t know Anyone in London..

So I found a Flat in St Margarets, just over The River from Richmond Park…and invited her down, once I had started my job..She siad O.K. – I’m coming and got her job transferred from Lanashire To London.

She was dead shy on her first day at work..so I took her on the tube and train…You are working here now in the City of London…Most of her mates then came from Essex.

We worked our balls off, sometimes on opposite shifts, just trying to earn enough to pay for the mortgage

Our local pub for quite awhile was The Marquee in Wardour Street, Soho. They had a lot of good young bands on including her mates..so they all crashed round our place for a night. The 70’s were O.K, but I thought the 80’s were the best…

We had just arrived in London, and she was still 24 going on 18 and I was 28 still all suited and booted in The Marquee..we often used to meet after work..The Girl in the Cloakroom was great..but we weren’t with the band, so we couldn’t use the changing rooms. It was just incredible fun.

I thank my Ex for introducing me to just a little bit of London before I met my wife.

They get on Really Well. They have love of the same live music, and they have also put up with me. They are on a different level – They have all been denied thir Pensions at Age 60, that they paid for all their lives, working often for pin money whilst bringng up their kids at home. It’s called Family and its about love..its about a Mum always putting her Baby First, and me helpinh to Express her Breast Milk, and fill up the bottle with the best milk in the world, when she she had to go to work on the early shift, and I was on the evening shift..

When the second came along She Resigned and Became a Full Time Mother and Childminder

She is just like My Mum, except we just had two kids. My Mum had 5. No contraceptives allowed, or I wouldn’t be here. I was their last mistake. My Dad -says – You Pregnant again..She says Yes..So I turned up. My 8 year older sister looked at me with her older brothers and Sister…

We have got a Baby (that was me).

Such is Life.

Question: Who is really free?

from KABC

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A majority of Black residents in Los Angeles County don’t intend to take a COVID-19 vaccine if it were to become available this year, according to a new social media poll.

The new poll, conducted by Black Women Rally for Action, garnered a total of 335 responses and found that 93% of Black residents would not opt to receive the vaccine.

A number of those surveyed.. referred to the Tuskegee study back in the 1930s in which Black patients were unaware they were part of a syphilis experiment.

Those syphilis experiments were nothing but criminal weaponizing of communicable disease by medical authorities to deliberately commit genocide in order to “advance medicine” and “save” lives by.. taking them.

Are college educated Liberal millennials embracing lockdowns and swallowing false COVID narratives paralyze by Existential fear new slave class in US?

I have Real Hope for Our GrandKids….The important thing is to smile and make friends

They bring their friends home whenever they can

Nana and Grandad have No Censorship so long as you and your friends are well behaved

When I met a girl I never even thought about what religion she might be
, nor what job she might do.

So Nana, Grandad and Dad were wondering where the kids toothbrushes were gone…Nana found them today, in the most obscure place that only a 2 and a 4 year old would think of….When she found them she burst out laughing…

Look I am trying to explain something fundamental here…I knew my Dad wouldn’t like her, so I couldn’t bring her home, then he dropped dead…Wrong Colour…????

Then yeh she was Brilliant…they all thought we were going to married…

And so I am again back to Square Zero I knew I couln’t bring my next girlfriend home, cos my Mum woudln’t approve (2 kids and skint) – though we were together for a year…then I get blown away again, and I am losing my job. I know I am going to get fired…

Sometimes life is sh1t – but she did chuck me away – and said find another girl.

Now I had nowt again and I was losing my job but she had a good job, and had just split up with her boyfriend and she liked the same music as me. I told her everything -and she kind of said me – just the same..

Then My Mum knew, and we used to take her on holidays with us…till she was 79…and she was fine with a week on a boat on The Norfolk Broads with our family…She was determined to get off the boat and go wherever we did..a Bit Fragile she was Great..she had done this many times with us..

She gets home, feeling great but now alone..and goes to sit down – and misses her chair i n her kitchen and breaks a bone in her body for the first time..She couldn’t move, but then My Brother walks in…”You had a good Holiday Mum?”..He didn’t know she broke her hip, so he calls the ambulance..and she is there in well..its The Moreton side of The Water…and they rebuilt her hip, and she could walk freely again at the age of 80..she didn’t need any walking sticks and just carried on as normal..We suggested she should give up her Meals on Wheels and Thing delievering food to people some of who’m were much younger her, when she had a slight accident in her Morris Marina..No one was hurt..and then The Scouse Doctors checked her out..and said we don’t normally do operations on people as old as you…so they did – they gave her a new Heart Pacemaker at The Age of 80…another good 10 years left in you yet…She made 86, and I witneseed her going straight to heaven if any person or soul ever went to heaven, my Mum Did

She Never Gave In..She just Kept on Going. Total Angel.

It’s hard to explain these things

It’s just that some people are really nice.

Are You?

‘Would a mask be required for the happy couple to consummate their marriage on their wedding night?’ Funny you should ask that because the top doctor here in Canada publicly stated this exact opinion a while back. At first I thought it was some kind of joke but I saw her interview on the Canadian Bullshit Corporation (CBC).

  • Consider keeping contact information for your partner(s) so that you can reach them if one of you develops symptoms.
  • Before and after sex: Wash sex toys thoroughly per the manufacturer’s instructions. Most, but not all, can be cleaned with mild unscented soap and water. Do not share them with multiple partners.
  • Wear a face covering or mask. Heavy breathing during sex can create more droplets that may transmit COVID-19.
  • Avoid or limit kissing and saliva exchange.
  • Choose sexual positions that limit face-to-face contact.
  • Use barriers, like walls (e.g., glory holes), that allow for sexual contact but prevent close face-to-face contact.

My Mum was both a trained Nurse and a Dispensing Chemist with lots of Practical Experience…

She knew I wouldn’t like it up my bum, and she knew the temperture in my armpit would be wrong,,,so she looked at me, and stuck the Mercury thermo meter in my mouth. and said just gently suck..she touched my brow – is he sweating profusely??? Has mys son got a Fever??

She got the correct temperature from my mouth, and told me to go to school..She hadn’t seen the porn mags under my bed, but knew I was hot not for teacher but for a girl in my class…same age as me…

It took a long time, but when I had met her, and we just knew we were together forever..

My Mum knew as soon as I Brought her home

We kind of knew – almost instantly

My Mum just fell in Love with My New Girlfriend The Moment She Saw Her..Just Like Me..

She Knew where were going ..She just Knew we were going to Get Married and Have Children.

Mum’s are Very Perceptive and Predictive….

Well He Certainly Ain’t Gay

I am not going to Make a Roman Catholic Priest out of Him (me)

When I was about 8 years old, I had my Appendix surgically removed at Oldham Royal Infirmary..I can still remember 10-9-8-2-1 the countdown – I don’t know what gas they used but I was well gone (My Grandfather died of Appendicitus in Northern France after surviving WWI ,whilst bring up my Mum as a Peaseent Girl in France – So My Mum was Pretty Tough and Well Educated.

When I came round I had all these really pretty lovely nurses looking after me..al through the night playing games with me…and after having my appendix out, I got constipated – my sh1t was rock hard and come out..

They said we have got to do this to you Tony..it might be a bit painful..

They held me down and it seemed like they were sticking a bar of soap up my bum.

It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced…and the nurses were so nice..

And I got better, and it got bigger…

I guess some people enjoy pain, but you ain’t going to make Babies doing That.

Never Tried it Myself…

I do not have a problem with the people who do.

I might sometimes look as if I am Gay..but its just me being friendly – having a life, everyone can see me eyes – the girl I am looking at..thinking who is he going to ask to dance with him next..whilst I buy her a pint of Cider..and it gets passed down the bar at the back of the pub

We want that Back – and You Bastards Have Shut us Down.

Or Just sit in Your Designated Place

Well Fuck You.

I will Not Comply.

I am not going to wear a Mask, and Told to Wear to Sit…

If I Can’t Dance and Be Free in The Pub with whoever I want to Dance with who wants to Dance With Me..

Then I Aint Going.

I am Not going To Compromise..AND I will Not Wear a Mask

I will Not OBEY

When I go out and I see You All Wearing Your Masks…

You Disgust Me…I want to Throw Up at The Sight of You Brainwashed ZOMBIES

My wife says keep calm…and tries to explain..

She is more Eloquent and Diplomatic Than Me, though Fuming Inside when told to Sit Down. Do Not Sing. Do Not Try and Dance Do Not Talk, and Do Not Clap, except Silently

BE QUIET

No Cuddles and Hugs Either – We Have Got Our Cameras Out The Back

Its not quite my thing

But it was Brilliant Today..She had been away for a few days..It was almost like the first time.

I see that Johnson and ‘the science’ are still playing games with the minds of the masses. On the one hand Johnson yesterday reassured us that his “ambition” was that we should be able to celebrate a family Christmas. This is obviously meant to reassure, pacify and give people misguided hope but it is in reality a hollow statement.

On the other hand we simultaneously had a scientific adviser stating that “without taking action, a normal Christmas was wishful thinking in the extreme”. Perfect example of the good guy/bad guy stuff. Very odd phraseology from the adviser but I interpret the true meaning as being that ‘even if you do what we say, you’d be a fool to think Christmas is on the cards’.

So I think I can confidently say that Christmas is definitely cancelled this year.

Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. 
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? 
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? 
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. 

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God’s help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

Just as you say, this sounds like the public-health version of “Good Cop/Bad Cop”.

What’s worse is the impossible hybrid alternative that synthesizes these views: yes, we can have a “family” or “real” Christmas, bearing in mind that in the New Abnormal families and real Christmas celebrations require masks, social distancing, abstention from singing or eating from shared/common bowls and platters, etc.

They don’t call it the New Abnormal, of course; that’s my term.

I skim the local newspaper website, Inquirer.com, but don’t actually read the articles– especially since they put in a paywall and became obnoxious about detecting ad-blockers.

But since March there has been a dedicated space for “Helping You Through the COVID Pandemic” articles. Even the headlines and blurbs make me apoplectic: the tone is that of a smarmy, know-it-all Adult sweetly guiding mewling, whimpering, panic-stricken, confused and helpless Children.

The headlines often take the form of anxious questions. An early example was “Must I Launder My Clothes After Returning from Outdoors?” Or instructions on how to properly wear and sanitize masks, etc.

I braved the paywall and actually skimmed the article about how to have a “safe” Thanksgiving meal. As I alluded to above, it involved eliminating snacks and appetizers served “buffet-style”, e.g. potato chips or veggies with savory dip. It also recommended that at dinnertime, the food should be “plated” individually in the kitchen– no passing around of serving platters.

I don’t remember if they recommended a protocol for getting second helpings, so maybe they just borrowed the philosophy practiced in Oliver Twist, and discouraged extra helpings entirely.

I expect that Christmas stockings may still be hung by the chimney with care, as long as recipients access them one at a time. After all, in the New Abnormal masks and other PPE make perfect stocking stuffers!

He knows what he’s doing is wrong. Of that there is no doubt. He’s permanently got a very guilty look on his face.

He knows he’s going to destroy people’s lives. But he’s willing to do it anyway as he’s not brave enough to stand up to whoever is really running and directing the British government.

He will always be remembered as the man who destroyed the UK.

I suspect what the goons who run everything expect is for people to police themselves to such an extent that there will be no need to “cancel Christmas” – people will make it so uncomfortable that by next year, no one will even want to have a Christmas.

Of course, here in the States, we have Thanksgiving first; so the goons can evaluate how that goes then decide whether our policing skills are up to par.

BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

COVID is a perfect conundrum. It required a diabolical mentality to know a coronavirus was a way to tear apart the West. COVID is the easiest and most effective method of bringing millions to their knees.  All you need is a phony test and a compliant mainstream media convincing viewers COVID is here to stay.  

What I find particularly disconcerting is how some high-profile women match masks to their outfits. Pelosi, and last night Jill Biden matched her floral printed mask to her dress. It’s a way of saying this is “sooooo normal” it’s now a fashion statement. There’s probably an array of matching mask accessories for shoes, handbags, and phone cases. All sending the message the mask is forever. It’s enough to make you barf in your mask, leaving it smelly and unsanitary.

Pelosi wore a kente cloth mask to honor George Floyd. I’m sure Nancy possesses a sizable collection of masks with numerous identity politics themes. Isn’t it interesting, how Pelosi who is 80 was caught on camera “maskless” unconcerned about catching COVID, but determined to see her hairdresser whose business is closed to everyone else because of COVID restrictions. Hypocritical politicians use masks as another prop for political theatrics.

Oh, by the way can someone explain why people are forced to wear masks to and from a venue, but not when they’re sitting around eating dinner with a group.  Does COVID suddenly disappear when it sees food. Why can’t everyone see the illogical contradictions and say it’s all ludicrous.

Not to mention, the thousands of false positive asymptomatic cases where every cold or flu is immediately diagnosed as COVID causing statistics to cumulatively mount heightening fear, resulting in additional arbitrary edicts and lockdowns.

 How do we get out of this COVID Twilight Zone, if the state-run mainstream media news persists in advancing the COVID narrative. Today on “Morning Joe” obnoxious Donny Deutsch said Biden should spend the next two weeks just saying COVID, COVID, COVID…….  If that isn’t an indication of how a virus has been politicized nothing is. Pelosi doesn’t even want to agree to a relief bill because it might show Trump in a good light– working-class be damned. 

But I’m digressing from the real problem–that is, the already opened COVID Pandora’s Box allowing Globalist rulers, billionaire techies, the pharmaceutical industry, etc… to implement a planned agenda intending to devolve neoliberalism   
into neo-feudalism by applying heightened bio-identity surveillance to control the population. Maybe, that’s why political leaders say they want to “keep us safe until a vaccine,” but also seem to want to destroy the economy, create huge unemployment, destroy businesses while they monitor every move by imposing restrictions on work, travel, social, and family life.

 Will the sleepy stupefied masses accept this fate, or will they wake up before it’s too late.

2020 is the year the human race became divided.
Everyone has an opinion on current events, masks, what needs to happen etc and everyone thinks they are right and can’t understand why other people don’t agree with them.

I try to listen to everyone’s perspective and I listen to those who believe everything their spoon fed.

The damning things for me are:

1) with Neil Fergusons terrible record on modelling pandemics why on earth is he still employed.
Are we meant to believe not one member of Sage noticed his models were based on wild assumptions and full of bugs that made the models not fit for purpose. No one has ever acknowledged or explained this.

2) Weeks into the ‘pandemic’ we were quickly bombarded with the message we must prepare for a new normal. How could this be predicted so early?
As Sars-CoV 2 is allegedly very closely genetically to Sars why was it not going to follow the same pattern of quickly burning out. It simply cannot scientifically be possible for it to be a seasonal virus.

3) Why are using PCR non diagnostic test to declare someone infectious when PCR cannot distinguish between viral and non viral RNA?
Even if we’re to accept that PCR is best available method to try and determine an infection then why are we running amplification cycles of 45 when anything over 25 cycles of amplification is considered inaccurate and can lead to huge false positives?

4) With the obsession of keeping R rate below 1 just how exactly are they calculating this R?
As PCR cannot diagnose infection and being run with double the recommended amplification cycles there is just no way they have any accurate data to work with

5) how can they claim there is a new disease called Covid19 when it’s a pneumonia taking on a new name based on a non diagnostic PCR test

6) why is Bill Gates with no medical qualifications now a global health expert?

I’m sure there’s lots of other things too but there’s no way they’re not lying to us.

“with Neil Fergusons terrible record on modelling pandemics why on earth is he still employed.”

Prof.Neil Ferguson (anti-vaccine for B.Liar, pro-vaccine for the Johnson regime) is secure in his employment for the same reason as High Court Judge Lord Hunt (Bloody Sunday, Dodgy Dossier and David Kelly RIP): they are “a safe pair of hands” who can be relied upon to serve any regime by delivering any Learned Opinion the Con-men want.

It’s easy for Bill Gates to be the world’s premier global health expert. All you need do is excise medicine from science and healing and attach it to economics and politics and – Voila! – any businessman worth his salt can become Doctor Health.

If you look this up, you will find that many of the highest level tech lizard overlords are most definitely practitioners of S and M. I always thought it was strange to look at such people as some kind of moral arbiter of what you are allowed to see or think on “social” media.

That would be a strange group to look to for protection from anything. People who go to bondage clubs are telling you a great deal about how they look at other people. There is a lot of sadism in covidland, and a lot of masochism as well.

Masks are ritual abuse and they mock the wearer. US National Public Radio just said today that we don’t have a vaccine so the best thing we can do is have everyone wearing masks until we get one. Masks are pushed really hard, everywhere, all the time. And it is getting worse.

A pregnant woman just told me how blessed we are to live in a place that doesn’t force kids to wear masks all the time. I do not feel blessed to live under tyranny. I’m really getting sick of adults making children do harmful things so adults around them won’t be afraid. This is a role reversal and it is both cruel and stupid.

I watched the parking lot of three stores yesterday. Everyone went in after grabbing their mask from the glovebox, purse, back pocket, sun shield, etc. This is definitely human experimentation. No one is even wearing these in a manner so as not to make themselves ill.

In the meantime, store owners are forcing themselves and their workers to wear masks to keep insane customers happy. These people lost a lot of money when they were forced to close. They cannot afford to turn away customers. A young woman at one store was having trouble breathing. She can’t get a job that doesn’t force mask. This is the least restrictive place for her. Fortunately, her mom will support her so she can quit. This is evil. It is blackmail and it is psychological experimentation as well.

My husband has PTSD and he gets really shaky going to stores because you don’t know who will yell at you. It really feels like a cult to me and I observe that people are even more obedient when they are nervous, which everyone is because of the election.

Yes these are sadists.

Jill, I hear you. When this started, there was a young cashier at a grocery store I go to–she had asthma and was really bothered by the masks. She’s no longer there. The store’s turnover has increased, and I have an idea their management is a serious mask convert. I’m glad I don’t work there. Masks cause me anxiety and I hate to even go into stores now, so I can imagine what your husband goes through.
it is sadism, but i think here in the US the whole thing has tapped a punitive puritanical streak in the populace. Cromwellian. There’s an aura of masochism i see in the populace–“punish us, we’re dirty!” to it as well.
Ugh.

Lorie,

Thank you for the kind words concerning my husband. Yes, there is everything you point out going on. This is my personal breakdown. At the top are the S an M, often pedophiles, satanic? ritual people. Below that layer are the same type of people taking orders, all the way down.

Mask wearers break down 1. by force as in struggling store owners and employees. Many people seem to enjoy this forcing (many wealthy people especially) because they get a servant class who they like to see wear masks and even gloves etc. It makes them feel important and they love to see others be hurt. This is a class thing, but not entirely. It’s a way of being “powerful”. These are quite evil people.

Then there are those who derive pleasure from force masking their employees and customers. These are real sadists. They even know very well about disability rights but they know people have difficulty enforcing those rights in today’s environment. They love hurting people and it’s what they get up for in the morning.

Next are people who are genuinely afraid. This group contains people who also love to berate others. That is really messed up. This group will attack on sight if they think they can get away with it. They like to pick on those who they think are weaker than them, when they are in a pack. Profiles in courage!

  1. People who are afraid of killing their parents if they don’t wear a mask. These people are sincerely trying to help others.
  2. People who have difficulty thinking things through. They are truly vulnerable to manipulation and they believe what they are told. All of it, all the time. Even people with brain cancer who should not be wearing a mask, will do as they are told because of this problem.
  3. Dolts who think they are fashionable.
  4. mgeo, sorry I wasn’t clear. If you wear a mask that is pulled out of your wallet, glovebox, purse, sunvisor, etc, even if you wear it for 5 minutes, you are likely going to be sick. I pointed to this aspect of mask wearers because I feel that is human experimentation.
  5. someone, I agree and THX-the right mask for the right time!

“No one is even wearing these.. so as not to make themselves ill”

Perhaps you meant “wearing these to fit the nose and mouth well”. This is a Catch-22. The better the fit and quality of fabric, the greater the scope for them to (a) accumulate pathogens (b) undermine normal breathing, especially during a physical task.

Yeah, not surprising that so many of them are pedophiles as well. They get off on control, abuse, humiliation, and children are easier to manipulate.

not a coincidence; it’s supposedly what the plague doctors wore during the Black Death, in the seventeenth century. it’s just part of a hazmat suit.

Yes,the text on the left and right alternates German and Latin for comic effect. It is supposed to have been drawn from life by the artist in Rome in 1656. There was the English outbreak nine years later and then,mysteriously, plague seemed to disappear from Europe.
I saw the same engraving on an “ANTIFA” poster pasted to a wall in Athens – more of the left in Greece and Covid skeptics than elsewhere, it would seem.

She appears to have been handed around quite a bit, before she landed the jackpot with Bojo who probably ”likes the same things”. Nudge nudge, wink wink.
Makes me wonder now why the Police were called to an affray, that was probably just role playing?

Shock May… There are allegedly 7 new ‘cases’ here today, and Andrews has issued a ‘note of caution’ about further restrictions on easing the lockdown measures here.
I’m also trying to confirm whether Jane Halton, who attended the Gates and John Hopkins sponsored Event 201 last year, whether Halton’s husband is Trevor Sutton. Does that name ring a bell?
Here in Victoria, the deranged Chief Health Officer is Brett Sutton. Are Trevor and Brett brothers? We already know that Brett Sutton worked at the Burnet Institute which received very generous grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
A lot of questions that the filth media refuse to ask. I wonder why?
