WATCH: 2+2=5

2+2=5 is an award-winning Iranian short film written and directed by Babak Anvari. First released in 2011, but arguably never more relevant than today, it is a beautiful concise and powerful rebuke of totalitarianism.

Free speech and free expression have perhaps never been so threatened by groupthink as they are today. Watch and share widely.

2 + 2 = 4 ?
But Is this the correct answer ?
The answer is not as absolute as it appears
If you have 2 rabbits both male and you add 2 rabbits both female .
How long will it be before you have more than 4 rabbits. How long before 2 + 2 = 5.
If you mix 2 portions of white paint with 2 portions of black paint this should result in 4 portions of grey paint that is exactly half way between the black and white. But this is only theoretical.

If you break a stick in 2 you will have 2 halves. But in reality you will have 2 parts neither being a half.
If you take 3 from 2 the result is -1
If you have 2 apples how do you take away 3 apples. In the real world this is not possible.

If the video showed the teacher insisting 2 + 2 = 4 and the boy saying 2 + 2 = 5 and the boy being shot for saying it would this be better

If you drop 2 lit matches into 2 ounces of gunpowder you will be left with zero ounces of material. So 2 + 2 does not always equal 4 as stated. The suggestion that there can be only one correct answer must be questioned

But that isn’t 2+2 is it thats 2 + -2 because 2 matches is not 2 ounces of gunpowder they are 2 completely different things, which clearly cancel each other out ! How you would actually express adding two matches to 2 “ounces” of gunpowder and the resultant chemical reaction, would not be 2+2 it would be a far more complex chemical formula, made even more complex if you wanted to consider the exact chemical make up and composition of each individual match the location of the gunpowder, weather conditions ect ect ect ect.

Besides the fact your choice of measurement Ounces is completely arbitrary, you could choose to use grams which would make 56.699 grams or kilograms or pounds or Tonnes or an as yet undefined unit of measurement.
You’re overthinking the question and adding all sorts of variables into the sum, in the form of words, rendering it no longer 2+2 The question is clearly in the abstract sense and in that sense 2+2 is ALWAYS 4 !

Of course! You may even say that 1 + 1 =3.31 if you wish to say that 2 rabbits, male and female, make 3 rabbits after 31 days; or that 2 + 3 = 23 if you wish to express that the digits 2 and 3 stuck together in that order give number 23. There’s no limit to the ways we can create what in mathematics are called “Defined Functions”. Also, in prose and poetry, these kind of statements are not rare but poets don’t claim to write mathematics.

But in a mathematical context, these kind of statements exist always within a discussion in which the symbols used (symbol “+” and the digits from 0 to 9 in this case) have been already agreed upon to strictly mean specific things and none others throughout the same discussion. Hence, if you start a discussion you claim to be mathematical with “2 + 2 = 5”, without any previous definitions, then the universal meanings of the symbols “2”, “+” , “=”, “5” are implicitly assumed and anyone who has knowledge of basic arithmetic, from the South pole to the North pole and from the the Gobi desert to the Andes mountains will instantly know that the statement is false.

The reason the symbols of Arithmetic for the basic operations of “+”, “-“, “x”, and “:” and the digits from 0 to 9 have universal meanings by default, is for us humans in the so called civilized world be able to buy and sell with both sides of the transaction agreeing to the amount to be paid and received. This is of course the basest application of mathematics.

On a side note, some communities so called primitive, living in a stateless and moneyless settings haven’t acquired our notion of number, let alone addition, substraction, multiplication and division.

This video also appeared under another title, something to do with “the progressive mind”. A mind that doesn’t want to recognize any immutable principle, and to which the same thing could overtime acquire different and even contradictory meanings or become meaningless.

Unable to find worth in being its naked self, the only important thing to that mind is to feel itself part of this feverish race into a future which is always one step ahead, for the sake of a “progress” which is never examined. It finds pleasure and only meaning in that continual movement to nowhere. Stillness, contentment is what it dreads most.

I very much agree with what you say, but I think of the terminology in a rather different way:

The ‘mainstream-educated left’ are actually what I would call the right.
The corporate mainstream are fascists.
The real left has gone.

What most modern people consider to be the ‘left’ is actually neo-liberal, because their memories just don’t go back to a time when the left was a necessary and significant force in our society.
Nowadays, so many of us appear to think that being a ‘success’ means being a CEO, just as so many Americans apparently used to believe that success meant having a son who is a baseball star.

Real meaning and a balanced view of human existence are getting to be very hard to find.
Who today would consider their family to be a success if one of their own was a Beethoven, or a Mozart?
“Oh, those poor people!”, would probably be their neighbours’ reaction.

And Stockholm Syndrome. Prisoners identify with their captors after a certain period. Class war, socio-economic warfare and asymmetrical warfare has been waged on people for decades. Most are too psychologically manipulated and too uninformed to make accurate assessments of the vast amount of information and disinformation.

Many in the middle class falsely believe they are part of the corporate class, or the educated class. This makes them feel superior to the working class and those who have historically supported conservative, religious or traditional views.

Supposing 0 : 0 = 1, then if we let 0 = x – x, which is true, it follows that (x – x) : 0 = 1, then we would have by using properties fractions: (x : 0) – (x : 0) = 1. If you look that last equation, it says that a number, (x : 0), minus itself gives 1 which is false because any number minus itself gives zero.

The truth is that division by zero is not defined, including 0 : 0.

Sweet little Iranian film: comment image


The elderly couple are quoting Hafez of Shiraz. Hafez is known for his typically Persian sense of humour as well as his poetry; for instance, his diet advice:
“Up to a certain amount it carries you; beyond that you carry it”.

The same Persian sense of gentle humour made the Ayatollah’s return some intruding U$ Marines after dressing them in civvy suits and presenting each one of them with a bag of sweets.

Do you think people are going to start losing their shit soon over lockdown? Feels like when things begin to unravel it will do so rapidly. Feeling quite despondent at the moment. Lots of people having a hard time but still a lot of people buying into the narrative. In the history of the world we’ve never faced something like this on such a massive scale. Feels like we are at a very dangerous point.

The daily diet of fear porn from politicians and the media will keep the masses penned in for another few months.

Once it comes to spring and the weather gets warmer and deaths reduce they will find it harder to control the masses.

The issue is there’s no elected political party that’s challenging the lockdowns and the official virus narrative.

It’s pointless trying to protest as we now live in a police state where protests are outlawed and anyone questioning the narrative is being labelled by the media as a granny killer, a right wing conspiracy theorist, flat earther, anti vax etc.

Unfortunately we’re literally at their mercy.

Hang on to your hat.

Thanks Everyone for your replies and advice. I was feeling particularly low last night. But I count myself lucky I have a close group of friends irl and none of them buy into the narrative and we try to break the rules as much as possible. Sites like this have kept me sane. I have decided to take a break from arguing on social media for a bit and am trying to walk at least 4 or 5 hours a day in the countryside to improve my mental health.

But I still get an awful feeling that something big and nasty is going to happen maybe that’s my paranoia but in a way I guess it is already happening they are slowly killing people. But they are also killing culture as we are all forced to focus on “THE VIRUS” – music, art, theatre all diminishing- only the death cult is allowed to exist. We are truly in an all encompassing fascist moment and it’s scary.

I’m a bit more optimistic than Ooink though. I get the feeling that there is a lot more passive opposition to what is happening from people who feel they cannot speak up but ignore the rules as much as possible. I would break it down like this perhaps – 20% actively support the government usually because they benefit directly in some way from lockdown or are part of the sanctimonious “left” – some of these may not believe the narrative at all especially the profiteers. 30% believe the narrative and follow rules. But I think as many as 45% are passive dissenters at the moment- those that don’t believe the narrative and quietly break the rules and then 5% active opposition mainly through online sites forums etc but also physically active irl organising demos leaflets etc. So our target is the 45% of the passive opposition.

Anyway thanks for listening it’s going to be a hard slog take care everyone xx

I know exactly how you feel, Sofia. I live in South Africa, and our so-called gov is far more draconian than UK gov in the types of regulations we have here. Masks are mandatory, even if you have a doctor’s exemption letter they DO NOT care – no mask, no entry.

The level of fearmongering among people I’ve always assumed to be intelligent has been stupendous. They are the ones driving the hysteria in testing etc, and the corrupt gov is just lapping it up. I dread to think what will happen when the vaccines arrive…

Our beaches and parks have been closed for over a month, so there are limited places to get out to be alone. Schools will not open until mid-Feb now, kids are going crazy as it is mid-summer, so they need to be outside.

I’m just grateful our children are grown up now, but they both live in the UK so I worry about them all the time, and whether I’ll ever see them again.

Far too many buying into the narrative from what I can see. I’d say it’s 9 to 1. 90% seem to be totally on board. And it wouldn’t surprise me if it was more like 99.5%. That’s how it seems to me. Most people are hardwired into the system. They can’t afford to take their mask off or deviate from mandates. They’ll lose their job. Get kicked out, shouted down. All corporations are onboard. Everywhere you go…basically any shop, any place…all onboard. The State thumbs up or thumbs down everything, always has. You think any corporation is going to go against the State? Look around…it’s corporations all the way down. We’ve been swimming in this putrid filth our whole lives. We depend on the State. This is the perfect crime…we are all biohazards. The rest is sophistry and winning the war of perception. The individual doesn’t have media, science, health, finance, the food industry, education in their back pocket. The State does.

That’s been one of the biggest shocks for me this past year, that supposed anti establishment Left have fully embraced the establishment narrative.

As ever, c. 70% of the people we see on the street are unmasked, and people seem to be getting more brazen about flouting masking rules on public transport (lots of noses sticking out over the masks). The proportion between the coweringly obedient believers, the flamboyantly disbelieving Aware and those who casually go along with it all (young and/or apathetic) seems pretty fixed, but the balance may shift if the lockdown pushes further/ harder. This is a city that breaks out into riots as a yearly spectacle (some years more seriously than others), after all… I don’t think it’s farfetched to think some serious shit will kick off if TFIC overplay their hand. Which could be, now that I think about it, why TFIC suddenly got so “liberal” about the open use of weed (which you can’t walk two blocks without passing through a blue cloud of) relatively recently: you can buy weed-products in the Post Office now. Keeping the lotus eaters cool, eh? Weed and (Netflix) circuses may be the only things holding this potentially-explosive farce together…

Perhaps a protest that anyone could participate in is appropriate. Say, a rolling thunder-like banging of pots and pans nationwide at a designated hour, over several days for it build to a crescendo. I propose 7 PM local time.

Participants might move individualy, or in groups to a location remote from their home.

Can you answer this: Why is it (from what I’ve read here on offG) that in the UK, it seems like all businesses still respect/honour medical exemptions, while in Canada it’s up to each business or public service if they want to allow medically exempt people sans mask onto their premises or not.

The majority of chain stores and the library still allow me in without a mask upon flashing of my transit exemption card (worth its weight in gold at this point!), but smaller businesses are hit and miss: some will let me in, others not at all. I can state that in virtually every business I enter and roam unmasked at this point, I am the only one thus unmuzzled.

What is the difference between the laws (or rights) in the UK and those in Canada that allow shopkeepers to deny entry to the unmasked in Canada, but not in the UK?

I’m not sure. It’s against the Canadian Charter to discriminate. You could advise them they are breaking the law by discriminating on the basis of your religious or personal beliefs or your medical condition. They are not allowed discriminate against those with a disability or different dress such as those displayed for religious beliefs and the reverse is the same, insofar as if one believes that covering one’s mouth counters one’s personal or religious beliefs, it is discriminatory and illegal to bar admittance or refuse service.

As far as I can tell, there is not a difference in the legal edicts per se, there is a difference in the way the regulations and statutes have been disseminated. That is, provinces have not been advising enough businesses that they are allowed and legally obliged to admit the UN-masked.

I use deceptive practices. I pull a bandana up to get in and immediately pull it down upon entering. I don’t want to stand at the front of a queue, arguing with an uneducated, security drone, mask-Nazi about the law or regulations.

Once inside, if someone approaches, I tell them I have a medical exemption. Legally, I am not obliged to explain further.

I forgot to mention that the tactic they are resorting to now when you tell them that you have a medical exemption is to ask you to show a doctor’s note. If you do not, however, already have an established relationship with a physician or psychiatrist, getting one will not be easy (and will very likely require that you wear a mask for your appointment!).

Anyone in the UK reading this have any insight into why it might be that Canadian businesses can demand that you show a doctor’s note, while this does not seem to be the case across the pond? Can one enter Whole Foods in the UK without a mask??

From the time when Noam Chomsky still had something to say, he noted that the usual assumptions about newspapers were the opposite of the truth. Most assumed that the newspaper was the product to be sold and the readers were the customers who bought it. The truth is that the advertisers were the customers and the readers were the product being sold i.e. that the advertisers bought newspaper space to influence the readers. In other words, the “news” is just like the nice sweets the child catcher displays to lure the innocent into his van.

I would say this view is not only true but even too modest. It’s not just the papers (which probably have less circulation now than ever anyway) but all the media channels.

To put it more broadly, the true function of the media is to act as a conduit for the parasitical class to feed off the population by stultifying all development thus guaranteeing an army of drones who will ensure a constant profit and who also will occasionally dispose of themselves as cannon fodder.

It’s not that the “news” or, to put it more comprehensively, the entertainment – as the child catcher’s sweets – was entirely worthless. Yes, there have been, and even continue to be, programmes which, as entertainment, work very well and do so because the ones who made them really did believe in them, enjoyed making them and managed to impart some of that joy to the watchers. But the fundamental part of the media was always about control e.g. any actual news had to be consistent with the parasites’ wishes. And even the entertainment had to be closely monitored for unsuitably empowering influence. “Keep ‘em dumb!” was ever the motto.

But the most fundamental thing to bear in mind is this: The media is not your friend. And all appearance of affability has now practically vanished with the new “war mongering”. Once again, the masses are called upon to sign up as cannon fodder. Only this time, the war, as represented, is entirely illusory. This is a war in which you, the proles, are now coerced into sacrificing yourselves by sheer self-mutilation alone.  

As has been noted, this pandemic recalls the Pimpernel: They seek it here, they seek it there, they seek it everywhere. But where is it really? It has been implanted inside you. And all it asks is for you to listen to its siren voice.

A must read.

The Department of Health and Social Care…. adopted a policy,… that led to 25,000 patients, including those (known to be) infected (with Covid-19, and also those who were) possibly infected with Covid-19 (as they) had not been tested, being discharged from hospital into care homes between 17 March and 15 April—exponentially increasing the risk of transmission to the very population most at risk of severe illness and death from the disease. (This, while being denied) access to testing, (being denied) personal protective equipment, (while having) insufficient staff, and limited (and confusing) guidance.

(As expected) care homes were overwhelmed.

I looks to me like ‘the terror’ as I described it in the Guardian today, before I was deleted, seems now to be timed with the vaccine.

You will only be free from the UK lockdown after you take the vaccine. France is behind the UK in vaccine delivery, so have not locked down completely tonight, only a little ‘terror’ of a 6 o’clock curfew, but in two weeks they shut the lid totally, and go for total horror like the UK.

And the french will be terrorised onto taking the life long vaccine. This is now the target. Remember they failed with the stupid tracking app. We need to make them fail with the vaccine. So get viceroys get beat up again.

No. That is a lie by governments to manipulate people into taking the vaccine.

Once deaths start rising from the vaccine and severe lockdown measures, restrictions and lockdowns will continue and a new variant will be announced.

Then more pressure will be brought to bear on those who haven’t taken the vaccine. Threats will be issued, “spreaders” or “asymptomatic” people who refuse the vaccine will be blamed for the spread of the non-existent virus, and detained.

They are not. It is almost impossible to find these reports. They are sporadic. In the US the only reports are from Facebook posts of relatives who have someone die or become ill. We have no idea of the real number of adverse events or deaths because no government is admitting the total death numbers from the vaccine. The real number is far higher. You seem to be unaware that deaths occur from vaccines all the time. It’s never in the news because the hype from governments and manufacturers are that they are safe, which is an outright lie.

I agree with Jura and researcher. I wonder how many vaccine deaths are not reported as well because of trust in the medical system. I have heard or read over and over “oh the doctors and staff gave the greatest care in treating…” and I have thought; why then is your friend or family member dead, if they had such great care? Inherent trust in a corrupt and incompetent medical system. Here is another nursing home report I haven’t seen (may have missed) on these pages.

But this is the thing that most of the believers don’t understand.

There’s no claim from the vaccine manufacturers that the vaccine prevents you getting it or transmitting it and this figure of being 95% effective is basically pulled out of thin air as it’s based on flimsy studies already highlighted by Off Guardian.

But the likes of Sky News and BBC are claiming the vaccine provides immunity when it does no such thing.

Even if you believe there is a virus the mRNA vaccine is alleged to be programming the immune system to recognise the genetic code of the spike protein of the virus.

But despite never producing a gold standard isolate they’re claiming the virus has mutated 40,000 times and changed its genetic sequences.
So if this was the case then the vaccine being rolled out would be rendered useless.
When quizzed about will the vaccine work against all these variants the official line is there’s no reason it shouldn’t.
This isn’t science. It’s crap.

Interestingly as well the official line is the new PCR test to test for the variants is just to drop of the S gene and it picks up the variants.
Bullshit it does.
You can’t sequence any virus from a PCR swab.

I know more people who are starting to question this vaccine as they’re now being drip fed they’ll still have to wear masks and do antisocial distancing and lockdowns being introduced.

The authorities and big pharma have really messed this up big time.

The vaccine narrative is to be frank just unbelievable.

And the vaccine passport would be useless if everyone who takes the vaccine is actually not protected.

Good point. The aim is trap people into the passport-digital ID-social credit-digital currency-biomonitoring system of medical compliance. Those people may be free to travel for a short time, but the reality is if they are being injected with synthetic pathogens, travel isn’t in their future because they will become too ill in the long term to travel.

This is a trick to harm people and gain mass compliance for forced medical procedures, quarantines and detainment for non existent threats.

She has not yet gone on a vaccine tirade, but I know that’s coming, and soon. As for that vaccine, I will say and do say to people that it won’t stop me from spreading it, so what IS the point?

Bombshell: John Solomon on the drive-by impeachment of Donald Trump. (video)

No wonder the impeachment was done so quickly
Evidence is emerging about the that Capitol invasion:

  • Metro Police and FBI knew attack was coming
  • they knew several of the individuals involved
  • knew of conversations about “killing cops”
  • U.S. Attorney is bringing a conspiracy case — which means it was planned
  • if attack was planned, Trump could not have caused it
  • planners may have given maps of the Capitol to the perpetrators

The icing on the cake:
Solomon says key Capitol officials including the Sergeants at Arms of both houses and the Capitol Police Chief were interviewed about collusion with the invaders (all three have resigned):

Solomon issued FOIA request for details of Congress officials questioned.
Police refused to name names because it’s “personally embarrassing” and “invades privacy”.

“These are public officials. Their job was security. What they did is a matter of public interest. Something tells me what’s in those documents has some bearing on what happened on the Hill. And the question I have is what did Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell know.”

None of the existing laws you cite have any relevance under emergency powers. Courts are somewhat of a trick anyway since they are entirely comprised of employees of registered corporations.

For instance the ICC was created by the same cartel who created the UN, the WHO and the WEF.

Governments are incorporated entities enforcing contract law through unlawful, legal fictions or straw men, created in your name through the issuance of birth certificates.

The fraudulent test was created as a statistical and legal tool for human kidnapping and forced disposal of uncooperative, unwanted and excess people. This is not about compliance it’s about depopulation.

Like a lot of ‘1984’ it needs context. This is why I tell people to read the book — the various movie versions are entertaining but they miss a lot of the core concepts that are embodied in the text. In this case the idea behind this expression ‘2 + 2 = 5’ is not to introduce some novel form of arithmetic but rather to reinforce to Winston that the Party’s realty — what Dick Cheney opely described as our ‘aternative reality’ some years ago — is what you should believe regardless of your experience or even logic.

If I recall correctly, once Winston freely admits this equation is correct then he is released to live out his days, a broken man hunched over a chessboard with his Victory Gin. He even comes across Julia but there’s no spark of a relationship left, they’re just two irrelevant people passing in the street.

(In a bizarre modern twist I’ve found that ‘1984’ is now invoked to describe attempts by ‘the world as we know it’ to intrude on an alternative reality. That is, if you don’t subscribe to “Stop the Steal”or any one of a number of Covid related conspiracies then you’re obviously an agent of Big Brother.)

Sleepy Joe’s main attribute is that he is “not Trump”. Its difficult to explain this to people inside the bubble but I know personlly many life long Republicans who despise Trump. The numbers explains why Trump lost but on balance Republicans did rather well at the polls. I doubt if the result would be the same if the election was held today — Trump and his team’s conduct post election is a bit of a turn off for many voters and I reckon it contributed significantly to the loss of those two Senate seats.

Questioning the accuracy of the results “Kracken” style didn’t work because Trump signaled well in advance what the GoP’s post election strategy was to be. This allowed interested parties to take precautions to ensure that the results were bullet proof. From my reading of the situation Trump’s team was caught off guard — they expected a closer race with the Democrats disputing the results, a similar situation to 2000, and were ill-prepared for what unfolded which explained the amateurish attempts to challenge the results in the courts. As these got rebuffed Trump then resorted to bullying state officials which had the exact opposite effect he wanted — assuming Raffenberger had accidentally ‘found’ 12,000 votes then by the time that phone call was over he’d have probably ‘lost’ them again because, frankly, by that time everyone was fed up with Trump and his constant bluff and bluster. The events last week just sealed his fate — Trump could have retreated with honor to fight another day but he’s going to be lucky to win a local race for dog catcher now (and that’s assuming he stays out of jail).

Incidentally — the most egregious example of “2 + 2 = 5” in recent history was in the run up to the second Iraq war. Nobody I know had the slightest doubt that there were no “Weapons of Mass Destruction” in that country, nothing that would pose a threat to us, and yet this line was pushed by the government, repeated by the media and anyone influential disagreeing with it (Blix, Rather) was taken out.

” If I recall correctly, once Winston freely admits this equation is correct then he is released to live out his days, a broken man hunched over a chessboard with his Victory Gin. He even comes across Julia but there’s no spark of a relationship left, they’re just two irrelevant people passing in the street.”

Winston’s drive and purpose throughout his battle against state conformity was his love for Julia. Once, to his horror, he realised that the ‘telescreen‘ that everyone was forced to watch in the self isolation of their room was actually watching and listening to him, he realised what was lying in wait for him.

He was taken to Room 101. This is the room that contains your worst nightmares ; your deepest fears. Winston’s was Rats.

His head was enclosed within a cage while his limbs were restrained by straps. Rats were released into the cage and walked all around his face and head . Hungry rats.

The mental agony( a key to enslavement) becomes too much and he screams and pleads for release. He tells them to kill Julia and let him go. Winston finally breaks.

The system broke him. He had held a clear view of right and wrong and of what is moral and immoral. But, in the end, his humanity was as flawed as all humanity. It just took a lot to find his and break him. But break him they did.

Orwell was on the money in every area. He left us the warnings. But quoting him isn’t working.

I believe Orwell’s protagonist was based on the future he knew he wasn’t going to live to see( he was racing against the clock to finish the book before TB took him). He had his son with him throughout. His son would have been around the same age as Winston Smith by 1984.

What we need to learn from the story of 1984 and of Orwell is that we need to become an army of Orwells, not of Winstons.

The film reminded me of a traumatic day in my life when as a seven-year old I volunteered to spell “teeth”. I was invited out to the front to write it on the blackboard.

In my neatest handwriting, which wasn’t very neat, I wrote “teef”. A few laughed. Then everybody else who could not spell it laughed. You never forget a lesson like that.

Now in this dystopian world we put on our masks, stay two metres apart, lockdown, wash our hands obsessively and obey all the rules Newspeak sets for us. We have no idea how many times we might have brushed our teef over the years, and don’t care, but if we get told it’s 55,480 we accept it.

And when I write “we” I really mean “they”! I learnt my lesson many years ago.

Good film!

I know you are far-right, but I think political ‘passionate demonstration’ is needed now and again, in the fight for justice. It just is. Perhaps not the CIA launched type in Hong Kong but in the USA, yes…..The US is never going to be at pease with itself until this boil is lanced. The political system there has so failed the population it is no longer fit for purpose and revolution is the only way out and revolutions are never tidy.
However costly & destructive that will be, the US political system needs to be pulled down.

No health care for the population in over 60 years, when the rest of the world has it…..the exploitation has just gone too-far now. if the politicians don’t bend soon, and they won’t, then people will cheer into power a hitler or kick off a civill war.

This film is a sign of the unfortunate times we live in.

Yes it’s simplistic. Very simplistic. It doesn’t try to over explain the finer points of anything.

It’s a tiny allegory. It’s the internet version of political discussion and literary criticism. The Boy is Orwell’s Winston Smith. The School is the state. The teacher is the agent of Big Brother. The prefects are the thought police.

Winston stands against the state and refuses to become part of it’s apparatus and determines to cling on to his personal sovereignty. In front of his fellow citizens he has his brains shot out as an example of why that’s not wise ; of why conformity is your only choice in reality. The teacher refers to Winston’s corpse as that ( ”get that out of here”). He is reduced to mere meat and litter and disposed of as such. The clock has finally ‘struck 13‘.

Once there was an age when the deeper, darker themes of 1984 were discussed and explored. It’s themes, it’s plot and sub plots and it’s characters.

But we live in an age when the average Joe believes he deserves a degree in Philosophy if he can recite 5 out of 8 mystical quotes he saw on a tumblr poster. It’s a time when a tweet is seen as sufficiently deep or involved enough to qualify as a worthwhile discussion.

Hopefully this is the way to teach the sheeple who question nothing. Translating the deeper, complex machinations that are twisting them out of shape and leading them to the concentration camps, into bite sized easy-to-digest nibbles.

I hope it works. After all, every picture tells a story. It’s how great teachers have operated for a thousand years or more. Everyone who can see can read when we use that technique. And if it’s simple enough, it sticks.

“average Joe believes he deserves a degree in Philosophy if he can recite 5 out of 8 mystical quotes he saw on a tumblr poster.”

This is the dirty underbelly of what passes for the muddle class (muggle class — were the Potterists self-describing?) (See JK Rowling’s Mitford obsession, vague personal history and reported lack of acquaintance with her own work at PotterCon – i.e. a hidden hand?).

In many countries parapsychology has replaced the daytime TV chat show. Britain has a GS Chancellor of the Exchequer deep into Thelema.

On my reading list is Aleister Crowley: The Beast in Berlin: Art, Sex, and Magick in the Weimar Republic, where we may confirm or deny or at least get a pointer to the linkage of Thelema to the rise of the Nazis in a manipulated, international context.

Bear in mind that in the U.S. at the same time Jack Parsons was gyrating with L Ron Hubbard in a Thelemic happening to conjure up his Strange Angel and the spurt to the moon.

Filmed in the 1920s by Rex Ingram. Ingram inducted Michael Powell, the greatest British director after Hitchcock and possibly David Lean, into the industry.

Some of Powell’s films are full of occultism like ‘The Red Shoes’ (the blood they have to walk through for success?) and ‘Peeping Tom’ which portrays trauma-based min control and childhood sexualisation producing a serial killing psychopath. He also made a number of films glorifying the Britsh military and intelligence services (like ‘Battle of the River Plate’, a hugely dubious wartime narrative).

Yep, I see America as Nazi Germany but all grown up and wearing a new dress( paperclipped together in strategic areas).

I tend to assess and judge by the actions of somebody or something or a nation rather than the words they spit.

One stand out in this dark area is the opinion, life, work and reputation of one freak- Michael Aquino.

On the label it says Aquino was a ‘ military intelligence officer specializing in psychological warfare”. In English that means he was paid a lot of money to deceive and was connected to all the right people and organisations. That’s pretty US and traditional so far.

Then you get to the meat ‘n’ potatoes. he also founded The Temple Of Set while being this CIA officer. He describes his religious belief as Setianism.

He ands freak show) refer to this crap as esoteric. He s closely connected to some disturbing MK work on young boys. He was closely associated too with one Larry( Laurence) King, the televangelist who preached the Lord’s gospel then went out to rape children.

You’d expect the US high rollers to distance themselves from this twisted little dog or have him put down. But he wasn’t JFK or Martin Luther King Jr. Instead he got to do the chat show circuit dressed as a dickhead.

I believe he can still be witnessed talking nonsense on youtube..

None of this should shock I suppose. After all the same American Intelligence( not a deliberate oxymoron I promise) funded Albert Stubblebine ( yes it’s a real name) to create ‘super soldiers’ who were magic.

He also tried to train them to make goats blow up through the power of their mind.When he attempted to train his soldiers to ‘become invisible to walk through walls’ he demonstrated how to do it. Or tried to. Much to the shock of everyone who didn’t have a brain, all he did was walk into the f***g wall. That might explain a lot actually.

This is all from the US. The country leading the chase via Gates and Fauci to kill a virus that has no identifiable form but keeps changing shape. They’ll be saying they landed on the moon next.

And the beat goes on…

CEO of Moderna, Stephane Bancel, says the coronavirus will be around “forever” – despite talk of the vaccine being an answer. Instead he says its highly likely that COVID-19 will become an endemic disease.

1/ Coronavirus already is endemic (but it’s not a disease).
2/ Repeatedly injecting people with mRNA variants is clearly an experiment not vaccine.
3/ Moderna has no track record and is one of Fauci’s pet scams.
4/ Stephane Bancel is a conman, a fraud, and a criminal under the Nuremberg code.

One convenient aspect to the covid coverage is its seemingly infinitely extendable “infection” to all parts of the news. Just glancing over the BBC headlines (which is all I can stomach) I see the following covid related stories:

  • “UK-bound arrivals from South America and Portugal to be banned from Friday over concerns about the Brazilian coronavirus variant”
  • “Covid has ‘calamitous impact’ on surgery wait times”
  • “Are we really staying at home?”
  • “Find out the rules where you live”
  • “When might you get a vaccine?”
  • “Key NHS services ‘in crisis’ after Covid surge”
  • “England’s cancer, critical care, A&E and routine treatments all hit as hospitals accommodate virus patients.”
  • “Row over half term free school meals plan”
  • “Couple with Covid have ‘final meeting’ in hospital”
  • “Covid vaccine centre closed amid heavy snowfall”
  • “Infections levelling off in some areas – scientist”

Apart from the overall covid programme, this huge con is also a boon to the news industry who can now adopt an automatic pilot mode with so many promising angles for endless padding:

  • Celeb stories: there will be no end of these fame junkies deprived of their normal avenues for exposure, who will therefore be eager to supply whatever sensational heart warning tales of viral confrontation they can spin.
  • Personal vignettes from the everyday punters exploring every conceivable angle – the tragedies, the tales of overcoming all etc.
  • Vengeful attacks the “incompetent” MPs. This an old one given a new lease of life with a new focus.
  • Tales of past pandemics recounted and given a recasting whereby they look like nothing compared to covid.
  • And then there is the vaccine angle which provides a whole rich array of avenues similar to the above – perhaps with a competitive angle as to which country “gets it right” for the moment of course since there will clearly be no permissible end to the mighty saga.

And, apart from the gravy train of virtually self-generating news stories here, there is the capacity for diverting everyone away from actual news (which will be decided by the Big Knobs above on the basis of “Nothing to see here, move along now!”)

Poor dear OffGuardianers, when you publish a piece of trite, maudlin, platitudinous trash like this in the absurd expectation that it will “give us some insight into our present situation”, you just confirm that you really would have done better to write a letter of apology to whatever neo-fascist runs the Guardian Comments page and carried on like you’d been doing for years before that.

“Once there ruled in the distant city of Wirani a king who was both mighty and wise. And he was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now, in the heart of that city was a well, whose water was cool and crystalline, from which all the inhabitants drank, even the king and his courtiers; for there was no other well.

One night when all were asleep, a witch entered the city, and poured seven drops of strange liquid into the well, and said, “From this hour he who drinks this water shall become mad.” Next morning all the inhabitants save the king and his lord chamberlain, drank from the well and became mad, even as the witch had foretold. And during that day the people in the narrow streets and in the market places did naught but whisper to one another, “The king is mad. Our king and his lord chamberlain have lost their reason. Surely we cannot be ruled by a mad king. We must dethrone him.”

That evening the king ordered a golden goblet to be filled from the well. And when it was brought to him he drank deeply, and gave it to his lord chamberlain to drink. And there was great rejoicing in that distant city of Wirani, because its king and its lord chamberlain had regained their reason.”

One thing should not escape our attention. Long before the 2+2=5, there was something terribly wrong going on – something which has gone on and continues throughout the world: the abominable treatment of children.

School should not be, but so often is, a kind of prison, where children are rigorously and vigorously forced to obey arbitrary rules set by adults who, themselves, were victimized by the same abusive system.

If we want a better world, we must be prepared to abandon the systematic mistreatment of our children.

The Wave – 1981 (HD Better Quality)

Based on a true story — The Third Wave was an experimental social movement created by California high school history teacher Ron Jones in 1967.

Unity was central to the Third Wave’s ethos, and the group made banners bearing their logo, which read “Strength through Involvement” and “Strength Through Discipline.” The students were also prohibited from gathering in groups larger than two (though a school newspaper from the time says it was three).
The students were told that if they went along with the experiment, they’d get an “A.” If they tried to overthrow Jones in any way, they’d get an “F.” If they refused to participate, they’d be banished to the library.
Perhaps most importantly, Jones told them that participation in the Third Wave was all-encompassing: the rules applied in class and at school, but also outside of school, and even at home.

By just the fourth day, Jones felt he was losing control over the experiment. It had attracted the attention of other students and the movement had grown — there was even an active resistance to it. Jones decided it had to end.

Thank you. There is a documentary, too, for which I can only find the trailer: Lesson Plan (2011)

Interesting to note from the article linked above that:

  • prohibited from gathering in groups larger than two or three
  • polarization: get an ‘A’ for compliance or an ‘F’ for challenging
  • quarantine: refusal meant banishment to the library
  • universality: rules applied at home, even when out of sight

Kinda like Covid.

Really want to see the documentary: you have fellow teachers and some students accusing Jones of promoting fascism. He says he was exposing it. The giveaway is a former student who admits they “felt trapped”. Clearly that was not by Jones but by the influence of the mass upon them.

I say Jones was courageous. If you dare to expose the behaviour of the masses, you risk them projecting upon you and destroying you.

My last choice was “The Wave” itself, which was excellent although too short. The parallels with the COVID fraud are many (as I relearn whenever I try to talk to mask fanatics).
I had last seen that film in 1989, as a student in Philip Zimbardo’s “Psychology of Mind Control” course. I did not know then that his course would be more relevant to understanding the world of today than the myriad mathematics and physics courses that I took for my degree. Alas.

The other day I was discussing with a friend the lockdown/border restrictions/mask policies in Australia.

False. The numbers are generated through fraudulent, non specific, unreliable tests.

Not lockdowns, restrictions, or masks.

So the differences in each nation’s figures aren’t from actual infections of any virus, current or past, but an outcome of the number of tests administered, the primers uses in the tests – some countries use different genetic sequences – and the cycle threshold (number) of the tests which determines their positive or negative outcome. The higher the cycle threshold in a country, the more positive tests.

These numbers can be directly controlled by the government through health department directives to hospitals and testing centers. Governments are also controlling the labs so they can control the outcome of the statistics generated depending on the political need.

Absolutely right.

SC2 virus was not isolated as Koch postulates not fulfilled, no cause of “COVID” firmly established after one year of COVID hysteria.

The paper of discovery of alleged new betacoronavirus (referenced 5000+ times) misleadingly suggested SC2 as a likely cause of allegedly new disease was published in February 2020 in NEJM entitled “A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019”

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2001017

A quote from Chinese NEJM report:

“Positive results.. obtained with use of a real-time RT-PCR assay for RNA targeting to a consensus RdRp region of pan β-CoV (although the cycle threshold value was higher than 34 for detected samples). “

“Virus isolation [K: not exactly as in fact centrifuge for cleansing was used to remove some large cellular debris and then flushed with saline water, that is not full filtering and isolation procedure which is used fulfilling Koch postulates where all other existing in a sample pathogens must be identified and one by one removed] from the clinical specimens was performed with human airway epithelial cells and Vero E6 and Huh-7 cell lines.”

Was RT-PCR that reliable?

from NYT
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html

“From Ct [of] 32 onwards, it becomes very difficult to culture the virus or to extract a complete sequence, which shows the completely artificial nature of this positivity of the test, with such high Ct levels, above 30.”

Apparently PCR used was not reliable as six months and millions of tests later ct 25-30 was found to be maximum threshold for live virus detection.

All of that alleged SC2 virus cause of COVID not only was questioned and repudiated by other research but was clearly refuted by Chinese authors themselves in the same February 20, 2020 paper talking about implication not proof that only satisfied Koch postulates can provide.

“Although our study does not fulfill Koch’s postulates, our analyses provide evidence implicating 2019-nCoV in the Wuhan outbreak.”(ibis).

Moreover, Massive discrepancies between PCR test and clinical diagnosis of COVID were found in England.

https://www.pandata.org/wp-content/uploads/PANDAArticles-The-PHE-data-that-goes-against-the-narrative.pdf

FDA concurs and adds clause of inherent non specificity i.e. warning about unrelated to SC2 virus other genetic material load Detected by PCR :

From FDA approval letter for Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., RTqPCR test.

“Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses.”

Manufacturers explicitly address issue of non specificity and other viruses interference with PCR tests allowing wrong interpretation of ct as having anything to do specifically with SC2 load and not with other commonly present in people viral load such as common cold 200 viral strains.

as far as lockdown is concerned it is self fulfilled prophecy as we will never know empirically (in specific location with specific demographic structure and infrastructure that affects mortality and vulnerablility) what would have happened if there were no lockdowns as this false argument is often used by cult Covidians peddling propaganda that without lockdown it would have been much worse having no shred of evidence to prove it as such option was denied.

These are arguments of now fervent peddlers of lockdowns against lockdowns of the past calling them scientifically baseless and useless according to empirical data.

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/what-they-said-about-lockdowns-2020
From den of JHU cult Covidians :

  1. A team of Johns Hopkins scholars say quarantines don’t work but are pursued for political reasons. (September 2019)

In the report, they explain how quarantine is more political than related to public health: “During an emergency, it should be expected that implementation of some NPIs, such as travel restrictions and quarantine, might be pursued for social or political purposes by political leaders, rather than pursued because of public health evidence.” Later on, they explain the ineffectiveness of quarantine: “In the context of a high-impact respiratory pathogen, quarantine may be the least likely NPI to be effective in controlling the spread due to high transmissibility.”

and more.


In March 2020, Michael Osterholm – now Biden’s Covid-19 advisor – also argued that lockdowns are not a “cure” for the pandemic, listing multiple costs from a lockdown. Yet, Osterholm’s New York Times article in August reveals a contrasting viewpoint, stating that “we gave up on our lockdown efforts to control virus transmission well before the virus was under control” by opening “too quickly.” Osterholm and (Neel) Kashkari promote a mandatory shelter-in-place “for everyone but the truly essential workers.”


Also in March 2020, these findings from the listed works and many others culminated in an open letter to vice-president Mike Pence signed by 800 medical specialists from numerous universities throughout the country which pointed out: “Mandatory quarantine, regional lockdowns, and travel bans[…] are difficult to implement, can undermine public trust, have large societal costs and, importantly, disproportionately affect the most vulnerable segments in our communities.”

We’ve done mass testing for about 6 months now, so we can accurately predict how many cases there are at one time. There are clearly more cases now than there were a few months ago. You can also look at percentage of tests which come back positive; this has also gone up.

If false positives were as common as you say, how come it’s the case that as positive cases rise, so do deaths?

You’re right, not everyone with COVID-19 gets very sick, but many people do. Therefore hospitals become overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients to the point that there is no capacity to treat people with other conditions. People aren’t being denied treatment because of lockdowns, they’re being denied treatment because there aren’t enough doctors to treat the hoardes of people coming in with COVID-19 and the people with other illnesses.
This, along with people dying from COVID-19 complications, is what is causing a huge death toll.

This is complete bullshit and you are either ignorant or a plant, provocateur.

To some extent, it is correct that people are being denied treatment because doctors are too busy with COVID horseshit, but it’s not because COVID is dangerous; it’s because of all the stupid protocols that have been put in place, including closures of hospital wards, and so on. All of that is artificial, made up, not based in reality.

Stop the fucking testing and “cases” disappear. Only the normal seasonal respiratory diseases will remain. Plus, it would take some time before people recover from the massive scaremongering. Also, surgical wards might get somewhat overcrowded due to all the motherfuckers behind COVID getting treatment for kicked asses, smashed in faces, that sort of thing …

If you stop the testing, you still have lots of patients coming in with severe shortness of breath with their X-Rays showing a bilateral pneumonia (a finding which is otherwise extremely rare). This is real, and this is terrifying.

They are killing people.

Dr Morse says he has never seen anyone die from pneumonia. The only reason they are dieing is because they are getting drugged to death, terrorised, intubated, force fed and sedated. They are the ones saying these are cases of “covid” so it can’t be heart disease or anything else but the drugs and intubation. They are in the same league as the nazis gassing people. Nobody dies from the flu. It is a natural detox process that improves health.

crime syndicate approved pseudoscience. It is very well known and understood that respiratory illnesses dry up in the spring time which is exactly when these crooks decided to implement their lockdowns knowing full well that the spike caused by the terror campaign would subside into the spring and then increasing “testing” (i.e. targetting victims with a device that doesn’t actually prove “infection” with “sars-cov2” much less a “case” of illness) could be used to generate more “cases” in the summer despite actual respiratory illness having dryed up. In case it needs pointing out you would have needed scientific evidence before hand not just implement it into a known period where it would give the desired results. We know full well vitamin D levels in NZ were still high at that time of year. As it stands you are criminals in the same league as the nazis putting people in gas chambers.

That article is very poor, as it runs a regression to find a correlation between cases and lockdown stringency, but as no good data or even an agreed definition on what a case is with not even testing standardised, with different countries using different procedures such as on cycle thresholds. Taiwan for example tends to run lower levels of cycle thresholds. In the UK, the US and many other countries cycles of 35-40 are used, when you are running that high a cycle threshold the virus detected cannot reproduce itself in host tissue, as Fauchi admitted. The other problem is the lack of randomised representative testing over time, giving the % infectious over time, if you had a reliable standardised test, as selection bias means you have no real idea what the % infectious are, or what R is without good data from randomised testing. Initially only the sick were tested and now very different people are being tested with very different procedures so no safe inferences can be drawn. The only country that has got close is Iceland, but even here early on people were self selecting for testing, even when asymptomatic so was not fully random.

Given the problems with non standardised testing, particularly between countries, comparison of infection rates is worthless comparison using worthless data. This is why using lagged Covid 19 deaths per capita and comparing them to lockdown stringency is more reliable, although far from ideal given the the lose non standardised definitions of a Covid 19 death between countries and the manipulation of the data. The BMJ also has a similar poor paper of a regression between cases (whatever they are) and lockdown stringency. The Oxford Government response tracker provides time series data on lockdown stringency as a percentage for a regression against per capita deaths for each country, it is also better to control for other variables as more credible studies, such as a peer reviewed study in the Lancet have done .

https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/coronavirus-government-response-tracker

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(20)30208-X/fulltext

This Lancet study above does regressions between lockdown stringency, pre existing medical conditions and both infection rates and per capita deaths. Increasing caseloads were correlated with medical co morbidities, GDP, delayed border closures, and inequality. But it also states “Rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and wide-spread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people.” My inference from this (not in the paper), is that some measures will slow the spread, reducing the caseload, by slowing the spread, but this will not alter cumulative per capita Covid 19 deaths as Covid will still spread until herd immunity is reached, this is why some limited measures reduce the rate of infection but not the number of deaths.

This is also suggested by a much earlier University of East Anglia study that only limited social distancing measures were effective in reducing the death rate, such as banning mass gatherings, some educational establishments (although did not suggest at which age range) due to Teacher to Teacher transmission, and high contact hospitality. Stay at home orders (that produced slightly higher Covid 19 deaths), closing non essential business and masks were all ineffective in reducing the per capita death rate. Masks also were not shown to be effective, although they were unsure of this finding, needing further investigation.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.01.20088260v2.full.pdf

Even these limited more effective measures I would suggest are unlikely to be effective when a highly infectuous repository virus is endemic in the population. The herd immunity threshold seems to be between 15 and 20%, due to innate immunity from previous similar infections. After all only 17% of the passengers on the Diamond Princess ended up testing positive for Covid 19, despite the enclosed environment and the average age of the passengers being 70. Another Study suggests only 20% of those living with someone having Covid 19 end up getting a Covid 19 infection, far below the absurd assumptions of those susceptible, and the case infection rate in Neil Ferguson’s model.

Ferguson, N., Laydon, D., Nedjati-Gilani, G., Imai, N., Ainslie, K., Baguelin, M., Bhatia, S., Boonyasiri, A., Cucunubá, Z., Cuomo-Dannenburg, G. and Dighe, A., 2020.

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-analysis/covid-19/report-9-impact-of-npis-on-covid-19/

This paper supplying the ‘evidence’ for lockdowns is not even peer reviewed, and gives random outputs with the same data, so is not reproducible, assumes no cross immunity (without evidence) that everyone is susceptible, so 70% have to have antibodies for herd immunity, and an infection fatality rate of 0.9%. Bingo would be a better application of Neil Ferguson’s rather limited abilities.

This obviously is easily countered with oh yes thats because the lockdowns masks and social distancing are working so well. A big win for the vaxx cult courtesy of antivaxxers establishing what a success the measures have been at reducing the death numbers. What people actually die from is eating unhealthy, low vitamin D levels, medical treatments and generally being misinformed by germ theorists who push the notion that there is a virus to blame when there isn’t any such thing.you are dealing with psychopaths that plan all these arguments so they back fire and drag people further into the snare.

That doesn’t mean viruses exist. At all. Increasing Vitamin D levels leads to a decrease in respiratory illness. So the cause is more likely to be nutritional deficiency – low D levels. Stress, lack of sleep, toxic drugs could also be contributing and/or exacerbating factors. Or a combination thereof.

In order to claim viruses are causing illness, scientists need to first prove they exist. They have not done so. Then they must show that these isolated, invisible zombie entities cause illness in anyone exposed. Otherwise they are not the cause of illnesses, they are simply a common factor in healthy and ill people. Correlation is not causation.

It’s simply not enough to have virologists receive billions in funding from pharma and govt., to use unscientific and pseudo scientific methods that ignore first principles.

Dane Wigington of geoengineeringwatch.org explains this beautifully. In Shasta County, California (where he lives) there were 30 cases of corona virus before the lockdown/masking/social distancing protocol went into effect.

Months after the lockdown began, there were 3800 cases.

Do the math.

I don’t know if there is any way to get to them through logic, facts and common sense. It’s magical thinking: someone “official” they respect tells them to do X because of Y, and that’s it. No amount of argument will convince them because they can always find “counter-arguments” like “yes, but if it weren’t for us doing X, it would have been worse”, etc. Your have to induce a magical thinking to undo another magical thinking: some State official expert they respect must step up and declare: “Ok, no need to do X any longer; Y has proved to be harmless”, and like magic, everything goes back to normal.

I used to wonder about that whole facial recognition under the mask mandate, thinking wouldn’t that mask screw that all up for them? But with 5G coming I think it’s a moot point. I know a bit about 5G, certainly no expert, but if it is the case that technology can penetrate anything – no more dropped calls when one drives under an overpass, yay! – then why not a mask? Sure, that probably sounds loony tune to someone who still seems to believe wholeheartedly that the virus is the killer the hype makes it out to be, but if 5G is truly that great a technology that it can reach anywhere, it makes sense that once it is fully rolled out some damned face muzzle isn’t going to impede its reach. And hell, by then we’ll probably all be wearing full haz-mat suits, otherwise we’re all going to die, right?

First sighting of a UK “no jab, no job” policy:

The new totalitarianism will be partly imposed by “private” companies and their HR departments. See, it’s not totalitarianism if it’s a “private” company!

Businesses are not liable. Healthcare workers delivering the jab are not liable. Government is not liable. Manufacturers are not liable.

If someone in the U.K. is seriously injured from the vaccine they would have to lodge a claim under the Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme. That is, of course, publicly funded. Therefore tax payers are liable as the government is corrupt and the legal system is skewed towards racket protection and corporate profiteering.

The vaccine damage claim would have to be approved and that would entail months or years of evidence, paperwork, red tape and pushback from the legal team of the vaccine manufacturers and the government. A tiny percentage, “may” get a payout.

The maximum payout is a one time payment of £120,000 for individuals who have been disabled.

If a recipient dies a year or so after taking the vaccine from a fast acting cancer, causation would be almost impossible to prove because of the time elapsed.

During the vaccine trials, those who developed MS and transverse myelitis were told the conditions that developed after taking the vaccine were pre-existing conditions.

Bullshit. The leaders of trade unions were aligned with the mafia and they were controlled by the corporations to control the workers.

No matter what rights workers supposedly won, they were still working under a tyrannical system whether they were members of a union or not.

You are living in denial about the world we live in by pretending that the left and the right are two separate opposing entities and not two false sides of the same system with the controllers of the system managing both sides. The system is a top down authoritarian control system.

I recently lost my own brother to ‘the virus’ the one Off-G writers/commenters have isolated. My brother and I haven’t really spoken in months though he was one of the first people I reached out to when circus began in March. We used to be quite close, inseparable. He is almost 10 years younger than me, both of us very young post 9/11. We were intermittently employed/unemployable, spent our time researching/writing and more often drinking to what we both saw as imminent collapse of the US/global capitalist hegemony. 9/11 was our 2+2=5, and it spurred us to various forms of action, some effective, some very much not so. After several years working we got to the nadir, and we ‘expatriated’ to South America to learn organic farming, in a societal environment that had ‘already collapsed’. We were serious (also seriously deluded)! When we came back to the US, lives starting over, we continued. He left 6 years ago. Myself I continue in the ways I can on a few different fronts. Our relationship’s been drifting off for years but I did not know the extent of his political reversal (and the fake left’s) until korona began. You can guess the dark punchline probably, he’s a full-blown cult member, MORE cautious and extreme than my 70+ in-laws (and they watch 10 hrs of msm TV every day). We stopped speaking after an exchange in which he compared me to Bill Barr, comparing lockdowns to slavery. He demanded we not talk of the korona anymore. As many have experienced I told him that was impossible–“could two brothers in Berlin and Munich not talk about the nazi’s in 1943?”; no reply, silence, only pictures of cats, texts about the levels of fitness he was achieving in his work from home utopia and more or less perfect buddhism and recovery centered life…The other day he called each of my nuclear family to tell us he was getting married, but that we were not invited, not even his own mother because “it’s irresponsible to travel” and “not enough of us will be vaccinated”. This rift, very personal, irreparable probably, is to me a microcosm of the wholesale abandonment of principles we see all around us in formerly solid work/family/social relationships. For the fake left, as George Mc and moneycircus consistently point out, it is The Big One, the one that will ring in the jubilee and collapse of capitalism has arrived. What they don’t want to question is, has been for some time, revolution from above (problem/conflict/solution). Fake left has cultural currency, yep, pays to be normal for sure, feels good to be on top! Sick. Perhaps the kakistocracy’s drive to create real time ‘civil war’, is just the last manifestation of decades brewing hostilities. ‘Brother against brother’, in my case, feels though more akin to a good book ending than the desire to annihilate. But the book has ended, and I feel lucky to have escaped my brother’s fate. And I gain new brothers and sisters everyday. NAMASTE

Though I’ve discarded many of my former ‘heroes of the left’ over the years and with MUCH greater acceleration recently (Chomsky, Pynchon, Marx) the betrayals of gatekeepers definitely didn’t start w kovid….In the working class environment I’m in everyday at work, I really hesitate to dismiss the left in general at least the baseline principles (solidarity, anti-imperialism, anti-authoritarianism, equality amongst people and the earth, cooperation etc) still very much exists. It’s the nihilistic, navel gazing, “educated beyond their ability” (Ivan Illich) that are the loudest and most articulate, but probably a very tiny % of those that are not invested in the rigged systems outcome (wealth, privilege (gasp!), stocks, golden handcuffs etc) .

Thanks—that series of articles on Chomsky is gold and was the nail in the coffin for me though I’d largely dismissed him after his stance on 9-11 I justified and still read his shit;
RE Marx, his disruption/authoritarian flexing over the anarchist and artisanal/tradesman organizations in real time at the international conferences always struck me as strange, in the watch what they do not what they say kind of way. Marx does have many many valuable insights but Bakunin/Kropotkin were just as popular in that time and their work for me has always been much more approachable to me. Just look at title of Kropotkins books I don’t think he was obfuscating nearly as much.

He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his (ad)life will lose it, and he who has lost his (ae)life for My sake will find it.”

Nobody lost anyone to a virus. We lose relationships due to psychological manipulation and propaganda. Brainwashing starts very early on in school, as this movie demonstrates.

The left isn’t real and neither is the right. They are false paradigms, false identities created to trick people into believing there are two opposing sides, values and belief systems. Governments do this on purpose to stop people from investigating that they are corporate entities that trick people through birth certificate fraud into complying with rules and regulations that are unlawful and tantamount to human slavery.

I understand people who remain silent on the covid matter through, as it were, a strategic move i.e. they realise that if they express scepticism, it will only kick off counterproductive acrimony and perhaps even get them into trouble with “The Management” (as Hale and Pace used to say as comedy characters who seemed funny at the time but now seem ominously prophetic). But when it comes to those like your brother who seem to believe it all to the point of hyperventilating over it, I can’t help wondering if there’s an element of “bully denial” i.e. they are deeply suspicions themselves that there’s something funny going on but they can’t let themselves think too much about it since it’s too disturbing. And perhaps there’s an element of the old witch hunt dodging i.e. they feel that if they don’t “get on board with the programme” in the most aggressive way, they’ll look like “traitors to the covid cause”.

If they don’t get on board they are ignorant right wingers, science deniers, racists, sexists, you name it, whatever ugly pejorative they have for the other side they are afraid they will become. As another here put it, a very subtle but perfect game they’ve played with right and left for decades, the false lines of argument completely internalized into the very personality of the believers. To truly admit that’s all a sham is too much to bear, it means questioning everything and to admit that they too were deceived. Very painful and most simply refuse to do it. Better to get angry at the one who made you think about it for even a second. And then you can simply dismiss that person and remain comfortably in the hive.
