This Week in the New Normal #10
Our successor to This Week in the Guardian, This Week in the New Normal is our weekly chart of the progress of autocracy, authoritarianism and economic restructuring around the world.
1. Cop26 Hypocrisy
We’re a full week into the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, and the hypocrisy could not be more apparent.
Last week, Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK’s Chief Scientific Advisor, issued a joint statement with many other “leading scientists”. Among many other things, the statement calls for less flying and less meat-eating:
There will be a move away from the extent of meat-eating we’ve seen in the past, and I think we all need to think about our flying habits,”
This week, over 400 private jets landed in Glasgow to discuss the “climate crisis” over a menu consisting of steak, haggis, venison and hamburgers.
2. Bill Gates is warns of bio-terrorism
In a sitdown interview with former UK Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt, Bill Gates warns of the possible impact of future pandemics, including “bio-terrorists” releasing small pox at airports.
What we need here is a good body language analyst.
Speaking as a non-expert, I think he oozes a weird mix of duping delight, furtiveness and incipient derangement – but don’t quote me https://t.co/19uj8xfdYB

Though the main thrust of the talk was about money – 1 billion year for a WHO-level “pandemic monitoring taskforce”, 10 billion a year for UK/US to research public health measures – he also discussed the importance of “germ games”. These are training exercises, like Event 201, which run an exercise concerning a fake pandemic.
Given how eerily prescient previous “drills” have turned out to be, this could well be something to keep an eye on.
3. Who cares about Owen Paterson?
I was going to do a detailed write-up of the Paterson situation…and then suddenly found myself thinking “why bother?”
Instead of any kind of detail, here’s quick rundown giving the story all the weight and space it deserves:
Owen Paterson is a British MP and corrupt sleazebag who made the mistake of getting caught.
Consequently, he is now at the heart of a “scandal” and being used by all the corrupt sleazebags who haven’t been caught yet to distract the public and/or fool them into thinking “elected” officials have any kind of accountability.
The End.
BONUS: Creepy ad campaign of the week
Pfizer have been trying to enlist kids in their vaccine trials by telling impressionable young children that getting vaccinated is like getting superpowers…
Superheroes come in all sizes 🦸🏽♀️🦸🏻🦸🏿♂️🦸🏼♀️ Watch as real kids express thanks to their superheroes; the 5-11 year old #Covid19 vaccine clinical trial volunteers. We’re incredibly grateful to the trial participants and their families 💙 #ScienceWillWin pic.twitter.com/A3I0ERr4TV

…yup.
It’s not all bad…
Our protests this Sunday come to you from Melbourne:
Extraordinary protest in Melbourne, Australia against interminable lockdowns, mandates, and the new pandemic law which would grant the executive indefinite emergency powers. No small feat, given past protesters have faced huge fines and police brutality.pic.twitter.com/tZIWXQHZP3

Of course, it wouldn’t be a TWitNN without a protest in Italy. From yesterday, in Milan:
Protest in Italy continue. The Streets of Milan are jam packed again as Italy says No to green pass… pic.twitter.com/jS5ORkr5MU

In other happy news, this week actor and rapper Ice Cube turned down a 9 million dollar paycheque because he refused to comply with the film’s vaccine mandate.
Also this week, NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers “came out” as unvaccinated, and gave a nice interview discussing the situation. US athletes have been under huge pressure to get the shot, and anyone who can resist that pressure deserves some respect, and when it happens on the national stage they set an important example to others.
There’s a lot more of us than the establishment would ever admit.
*
All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention unvaccinated patients being denied organ transplants or the Irish Independent comparing the unvaccinated to drunk drivers and saying “more force is needed” to compel people to get the shot.
There’s a lot of change in the air, a lot of agendas in the works, if you see a headline, article, post or interview you think is a sign of the times, post it in the comments, email us or share it on social media and we will add it to the next edition.

German Claim to be Under the “Tyranny of the Unvaccinated”
Rubbish from the German authorities.. love this admission.
We’ve been repeatedly told we need to wear masks and avoid mass gatherings to impede the spread of this virus, but, now that’s acknowledged as delusional. Which of course it always was, but, that didn’t stop the liars from lying. An aside, sheds some light on the moon of alabama stance. (deluded)
“It is a delusion to believe that if you avoid mass gatherings and wear a mask on public transport, you cannot catch the coronavirus.”
Lying Cowards the lot of them…..
From Sunday’s Cyprus Sunday Mail:
I’m currently engulfed in the hot off the press annoucements as to the ‘effecacy/effectiveness’ of the vaccines.
Is it me or is their a duty on someone making such claims, the list and rule out any number of variables that may cloud the fanfare around such pronouncements?
For example. I was under the impression from Government/Media that the unvaxxed had let forth that other Covid variant, more infectious and yet less deadly.
Is this variable captured, mentioned and addressed with thin proclamation of vaccine exceptionalism, or shoud I cast statisiticians (some) alongside accountants (some) in the age old goal of having the approved answer and working back?
The following is of course a severely limited hangout. And there’s still a long way to go if it’s an indication of the level of truth which the average person can handle.

Wooz News is awesome….
That video is worth its weight in gold! They just arent trying anymore….
Once again they are able to pull a made up fiction from their rear ends, and use censorship and media control to ensure those targeted mostly willingly lap up the b.s.
I don’t watch much news media or TV in general but I have heard Paul Jay (former Real News Network) and several other previously truthful reporters state that they have seen evidence that the ‘violence’ on January 6th was far worse than they had originally thought.
Backed up by absolutely nothing. And in this day and age it seems that’s enough to get a huge percentage of the US on board. Fully take the word of another person they do not know with absolutely no evidence. True insanity.
I watched a few Real News videos when it first launched but concluded that it was a limited hangout operation. For instance, I don’t think they ever called 9/11 as a false flag.
Terrorist
Kill Gates is the terrorist. The arsehole has been getting less flack of late when compared to the start of the scamdemic. Something that should be remedied.

He deserves more than 24/7 flack for microsoft alone. He deserves to be hounded to the very ‘gates’ of hell for his part in the big scam.
The Enemy’s 5th Column is the Fear of Contagion when it governs our thoughts. Dr Freud labelled it ‘free-floating anxiety’. Dr Reich revealed it as ‘stasis anxiety’; said it was the driving force of The Emotional Plague.

Just to let you know your Nov 8th blog post “Seizing everything” when I click on it, it directs me to a search about ‘Too much is never enough’.

The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! ivmpharmacy.com
That’s if you are going the allopathic route. Alternatively, get vitamin C, vitamin D3 (and vitamin K2).
The head of the World Medical Council has just told millions of German TV viewers that The Unvaccinated are subjecting them to tyranny.

“Momentan erleben wir ja wirklich eine Tyrannei der Ungeimpften, die über die zwei Drittel der Geimpften bestimmen!” – Das sagte der Vorstandsvorsitzende des Weltärztebundes Frank Ulrich Montgomery am Sonntagabend (07.11.2021) im ARD-Polittalk bei Anne Will.
This creep has a medical degree (he is a radiologist), but he is in fact a career careerist who spends most of his time sitting on boards, including the board of a bank.

The hysterical hyperbole of ambition addicts is Satanic to say the least.

(No bad thing in my view, the abolition not the blame.)
The queues at 1:50 are horrific. I have seen the same here in Sweden.
We have our own Frank, his name is Matti Säll and he runs a vaccine company and a disinfectant company. And as a professor, he develops vaccines on the tax payer’s dime.
Newspeak is alive and well in 2021.

On Sesame Street, Uncle Tony Fauci tells the nation’s children he jabbed Santa Claus (“so it’s safe for him to come down the chimney and leave presents”). CNN’s two lizard moderators find this heartwarming, or at least they pretend to.

Still waiting for Medicare to threaten cutting my medical coverage. Also waiting for my insurance company to threaten to drop my life insurance without proof of vaccination. It is getting more real than ever.
I recall a a BUPA letter last year saying they will not pay out if one gets injuries from taking it. they even mentioned experimental in it
That shows the fat cats know what this is. I bet they’re not taking it, at least not the same the general population are.
Good riddance I say. Become your own doctor and stop paying into your death.
Bill Gate’s Germ Games comment jumped out at me. “Any one up for a Germ Game tonight”, is what came to my mind. WTF.

That’s the first example of the practical application of Common Law to rights of freedom I have seen. I always thought it completely academic and the police would just force you whatever. I am pretty sure here in Australia the police would have no fear of reprisal and have no qualms about breaking their Oath if such exists.. It surprised me it worked in the UK, clearly something remains of Law. I guess it was mainly because the guy had the right solicitor. But his courage and cool are amazing. I am familiar with Common Law as in duty of care and harm and personal liability in your professional and personal life. But as I understand it if you contravene an Act you are in breach of Criminal Law. I don’t see why you need to personally agree to an Act, isn’t it that the whole point of legislation? Is… Read more »
Can’t say I’m an expert in this area, although I did get interested in it some years ago, although not paid it much attention recently until happening upon the above young man via twitter.
There is also the “freeman on the land” movement, or quasi movement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_on_the_land
Love that legal magic.
He’s wrong. In common law countries, there are 2 kinds of laws: statutory (Acts) and case law. Acts, by definition, are law. Him saying there’s a difference between Acts and Law shows he’s confused.
Think about it – what’s a point of an Act if it’s not binding for all?
The difference is that acts are commerce, are a contract. So yes, they are enforceable if a party breaks that commercial agreement. There are ways to circumvent all acts, how do you think very rich people and corporations do? That’s why it’s not illegal to avoid taxes by funnelling money via tax exempt foundations for example, yet it’s illegal if you evade them as it’s a breach of a contract for a service.
I recommend you watch the documentary he references, ‘Strawman’.. Your ‘legal fiction’ is bound by acts of Parliament. You are not unless you agree that your legal fiction is you!
Thanks for the reminder.
I presume this is it?
Interesting that there are a number of recent comments, perhaps people who were alerted to it by the guy in the rumble video.
Well you may be right, and my own knowledge in this area is scant. But going by Wikipedia (I know, I know…), Common Law isn’t necessarily identical in each of the countries that has a Common Law system.
Well, that video is now over a month old – he made it the day after he was released from the police cell. Maybe they did come back and get him later, as they seemed to be threatening. And/or maybe he’ll face issues when he tries to leave the country (as he wasn’t planning to stay in the UK long).
And maybe they’ll be waiting for him next time he returns to the UK, a bit better prepared.
Headline in mainstream media:
“Princess Anne’s Perfect Reaction To Child’s Comment”

– Colluding with the US in imprisoning and torturing Julian Assange
– The British propaganda campaigns that led to the massacres of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia

CCA II The Great Reset?
It only lasted a few hrs before being made private. So it’s probably worth watching.
Luckily someone was quick to re-upload to bitchute (100 mins): https://www.bitchute.com/video/hv5MlwBGP8PP/
Lays out the pre-planning for the covid scam, as a cover for launching the Great Reset, and detail of what they’re projecting.
Nothing new for most of us I guess, but it’s a good presentation.
The Q&A is well worth listing to (from 42 mins) Q “Why do you think it will fail?” A. As I said, it’s modelled on the Chinese economy, and the Chinese economy only works because there has been a free market to market it’s good to, and without the thriving middle class, or industrial working class/middle class middling business enterprizes, there simply is not the purchasing power in the economy for this kind of economy to succeed. It will be top heavy, it will be socialist on the ground, and it’ll be monopolistic on top. It’ll lead to all kinds of shortages in goods, and it’ll lead to all kinds of misery, social misery, and it’ll finally just collapse of it’s own weight because it doesn’t have the kind of viability that a free market has; free enterprizing individuals and groups who are making goods, and creating wealth, and exchanging… Read more »
But ImpObs, I don’t think they WANT the economy to work. Surely their vision is simply vast latifundia. They own the land, the resources and the slaves.
There will be no “economy”, just the new “Rhodes scholars” groomed to be the bright people who will program the computer-AI-slave system at the behest of the oligarchs.
An economy is based on voluntary actions, on production and demand. TPTB will not FAIL to produce this: IT IS NOT INTENDED.
Just been listening to Talk Radio. Their position is that the whole vaccination programme should be wound down since the jabs work, have worked, and we should be grateful for this and now we can get on with ordinary life. Well, that at least is some progress. However, what’s missed is that the jabs were the cause of the problem not the solution. In the normal course of events pandemics of this sort have an established pattern or path-dependency. 1. The occur, 2. They have an inflexion point, 3. They decline and disappear without any medical intervention. Such has been the incidence of pathogens since the Black Death in the middle-ages. Corona Virus and its dangers has been pumped up by fooling the people that the jab with make them safe, by both government agencies and mass manipulation, to be a deadly strain which will kill millions which was never… Read more »
that’s not quite their ‘whole’ position – they seem to be pretty completely for choice – no mandates, no passports, etc –

The WSW version of “they’re trying to kill us”. Eerily like right-wing versions of the same thing that you might find in places like the Unz network.
Gee, I find Unz.com pretty accurate. I’m not finding the whole right-left distraction very useful. Unz was the first to lay out the data showing that mortality INCREASED with the vaccine. They graphed it over many countries.

“opportunist politicians” my arse!
Another big disappointment.
I see he’s been quoting the Guardian as they gush about some new medical breakthrough.
I recently had a polite argument with an elderly gent of the left who tried to get me anxious about potential fascism. Weirdly, he seemed sincere enough.
It is astonishing how quickly the “socialists” wound down the antiwar movement after the big 2003 marches.
Thanks for explaining about Aaron Rogers. I had read the Grauniad article and had worked out that he was clearly a bad person but hadn’t worked out why.
I’m certainly not a body language analyst. However, I am an actor, and I can usually recognize bad acting – that is lying. The constant waving around of Bill Gates’ arms strikes me as what actors refer to as ‘indicating’. It’s a sign of someone who’s trying very hard to get people to believe that what he’s saying is true, even though he, himself, doesn’t believe it. That is, he’s lying.
So, situation normal for Gates.
👍
Similarly I find myself fascinated by the arm and hand gestures constantly deployed by politicians in interviews or when public speaking. The gestures are well over the top and rarely coordinate with what is being said. They seem incapable, or unwilling, to keep their arms still.
This behaviour has been ‘the norm’ since the Blair era. I vaguely recall mention then that politicians were receiving (acting) lessons in how to accentuate what they were saying, and how to give the impression of sincerity, with the use of elaborate hand and arm movements. From what I can see, and the very odd, unnatural gestures used, I have no doubt that they are still given such lessons.
I’m in the US. Since I’ve never subscribed to pay TV (cable/satellite), I’ve made do with OTA (“over the air”) TV, aka “free TV”. The end of the year is the annual “open enrollment” period for health insurance plans; insurance corporations aggressively advertise insurance for senior citizens for the following year; nowadays, so-called “Medicare Advantage” plans are all the rage. Since OTA TV has a captive audience of low-income viewers, it features endless cheesy pitches from celebrity shills– notably Joe Namath and Jimmy “JJ” Walker. They’re pitched to low-information or brain-dead seniors, and promise “free” benefits including transportation to doctors’ visits, meal delivery, and even, yes “gift cards” when the member gets a flu shot. The ads direct interested viewers to make a “free” phone call to a given number to speak with a “licensed insurance representative” with no obligation. I think that all “celebrity endorser” advertisements are depraved and creepily manipulative,… Read more »
Are we allowed to say that these days? 😉 I know what you mean and I couldn’t have summarised it better myself! And your comparison with Italian mannerisms…perfect.
Since you raise the question: I know the word “spastic” was long ago added to the Streng Verboten list of ideologically unacceptable terms because it and its derivatives were/are used as vulgar, vicious, offensive pejorative epithets.
The term survives in medicine, although I assume professional caregivers avoid using it because of this taboo: spasticity is a condition in which certain muscles are continuously contracted or tightened. This contraction causes the muscles and joints to be stiff or tight, resulting in jerky movement and speech and walking difficulties.
I typically humor sociopolitical correctness and avoid using fraught terms prophylactically– i.e., to forestall tiresome bumptious correction. But once in a while I throw caution to the winds and use the term appropriately. BTW, I trust it’s obvious that I’m not implying that your facetious question is intended as a “correction”. 😉
Sometimes one simply has to call a … er, garden implement a garden implement!
Thanks, Ort. It is definitely frustrating the number of appropriate and soundly based words which suddenly become broadly taboo even when used in the original, objective context, just on someone’s subjective and peculiarly sensitive say so.
And, no, have no fear – it was clear to me that you were responding with a ‘nod’ to the intended tone of my comment!
Not to open a can of snakes, but without hunting for links you may be aware that several years ago, an aide to the Washington, DC mayor was “forced to resign” after publicly using the word “niggardly” correctly.
Apparently after blowback from sensible, reasonably educated grownups, the mayor conceded that this was an “overreaction” and the aide was reinstated. Again, I haven’t researched this, but I’ll bet that aide never used the word again. ‘)
FWIW, there’s another reason I dared to use “spastic”: ever since the decades-long ascension of identity-politics ideology and “political correctness” transmogrified, or culminated, into full-blown “Wokeness” over the past few years, I’ve become so fed up with obligingly and politely walking on semantic eggshells that I’m deliberately rehabilitating language deemed unfit for acceptable discourse.
I’ve noticed hand & arm gestures a lot too in recent decades, and not just among politicians, but just about anybody on TV, and I guess to some extent in real life, but not as much.
In my generation, when growing up, anyone who did that sort of thing would probably have been accused of fidgeting or wanting attention. We phlegmatic Brits would quietly mock the excitable Latins for such extroversion.
But now it seems we are all at it.
Thanks, Mike. I was amused to see your last remark about demonstrative Latins, having read Ort’s comments along the same line. 🙂
😊 Well, we should be careful of generalisations, but the Italians really do seem to specialise in this, in my limited experience. I remember sitting in a pavement café in a town in Tuscany once, and watching the people go by walking and talking, and some of them really have it down to an art form….quite elaborate gestures which presumably express nuances in whatever it is they are trying to express. I would have assumed that the Spanish were the same, but no, at least in my even more limited experience. They seem quieter, more thoughtful, more serious, and nothing special in the way of hand & arm gestures. The only exception I can remember was when I was on a language course one time, and the head of the course was on the phone, trying to sort out some technical problem I think, and he was putting on a… Read more »
Too bad Zoom or an equivalent wasn’t available.
If the person on the other end of the phone could’ve seen the non-verbal component of the dialogue, I’m sure that the technical problem would have been sorted out far more quickly. 😉
“…Our understanding of the intricacies of the handshapes used in signed languages is really just beginning. The human hand is able to make a vast array of possible shapes.”
Thus the coaching to cross his arms so they dont flail as much
But doesn’t crossing arms in body language analysis denote defensiveness and dishonesty? Oh…hang on a minute. Perhaps he would have been better advised to sit on his hands!
watch Kamala Harris at work, case study (I know, it’s hard to stomach, but for science, you know ..)
Karmella is awesome.
Psychopaths tend to more frequent and larger hand movements (beats) and exagerated facial gestures.
Mr Carroll sums it up: Jabberwocky BY LEWIS CARROLL ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in… Read more »

It’s never been a question of hating Greta. I think most people on the sceptical side know that she is being used.
On the other hand, as she grows further into adulthood, she will be expected to be more accountable for what she proclaims and represents.
It is interesting that she is becoming more cynical. She declared that she expected to be disappointed by COP26 before it started, and has now proclaimed it to be a shit show (maybe not in those exact words….I seem to remember there was a “blah blah blah” in there).
She is now legally an adult, although still a young one, and young for her age. But she will mature, and hopefully, so will her judgement.
She does stir a creepy misogyny in some people, and let’s face it, not all Covid and climate sceptics are nice individuals.
we’re a damn sight nicer than the other bunch …..
…and let’s face it, not all Covid and climate sceptics are nice individuals.
So what. Being nice won’t get us out of this mess.
i DON’T get why anyone has to hate her, she is not dangerous, she is autistic and actually very clever. Grown adults demonising a child like child is ridiculous.
So long as the natural resources and the products we require for survival are owned by a fraction of 1% we cannot be free– or even safe. Please begin now to discuss the most equitable manner to redistribute what has been stolen from us.
It would be wonderful if Off-guardian would carry an article laying out some of the means of theft that have resulted in our dispossession.
Since the thieves also control the money supply, local currencies are urgently needed as a means to preserve the exchange of labor.
Some sort of IOU system – perhaps utilizing blockchain technology and peer-to-peer networking (none of the bitcoin nonsense) could be evolved as an effective debt-based currency. This sort of open source system could easily be created (by the same people who are currently busy building the globalists digital currency trap) and could be made pretty much unassailable unless the entire internet is collapsed. The seeding of debt could be almost anything fungible. A peoples’ cashless system. If we can build it for ‘them’ we can build it for us.
Sounds like the qortal project. http://www.qortal.org
Yeah – sorta (from a brief glance) – the infrastructure – but this is another “minting” trade and get rich scheme rather than a simple exchange and payment system. A sort of hippy version of bitcoin.
I was thinking something with a little more intrinsic value than a meaningless encrypted string- like a shovel or a backhoe that is sold to someone for an IOU which can be used as currency to buy something else from someone who accepts IOU’s as payment..
The nodes could be local and you could always take possession of the shovel.
Eventually, a web based barter system could operate without IOUs, given so many people had exchanged so many things for so many others, it would eventually be possible for algorithms to calculate what anything was worth in terms of anything else.
Initially, I’d try to start without monetary IOUs, and use credits/debits instead, e.g. I’m down a basket and a bucket, but up a flowerpot and an umbrella.
Perhaps to kick-start it, it would be necessary to allow exchanges of physical silver coins, in order that a monetary valuation could be obtained.
TRM, Thanks for posting about the qortal project. I’ll try to find time to learn about qortal and block chain. Sounds promising. Decentralization certainly seems to equal virtue.
DM, I was thinking of something more local. There is a long history of local currencies, even in the US. Also there have been and possibly still are Barter Clubs including bartering for labor. I recall reading about one where there were two prices for labor: One was for unskilled, and the other had double the worth, was “skilled”. The club kept track of how many labor hours a person had earned, and it was a condition of belonging that one accepted this accounting. I’m sorry, I’m making this sound more complicated than it is. (very tired). When local currencies become more widespread they can merge of course, or recognize one another. — But one must also begin the conversation about the criteria for redistributing the stolen wealth of the oligarchs. So long as they control it all, more & more people will be economically compelled to take the vaxx.… Read more »

“Anyone can create money; the problem lies in getting it accepted.” – Hyman Minsky
Plus 100.
“blockchain technology”
“peer-to-peer networking”
“bitcoin nonsense”
“minting”
Could you explain? or Link to a Glossary of Digital Currency?
I like your idea of Local Digital Currency because there are already digital bulletin boards “For Sale or Exchange”; but I do not see how an “Electronic IOU” would turn into a currency. For instance, if I were a plumber, how would my “Electronic IOU” for the fresh produce that I bought from you today be “cashed” in terms of my doing some plumbing for you in the future?
Depending on the Internet is like a house of cards. It can collapse, say due to a CME from the Sun. No doubt, money would then be the least of our worries as there would be almost no electricity, or operational vehicles (due to the chips), lifts or factories left.
On reflection, this is all a waste of time.
What needs to be done is bring down these globalist governments and central banks, restore nation states and create national currencies.
Simple.
The realist would say…nah…not going to happen…ever…ever. This is life. What you’re proposing would be called, at best, “slave morality”. Not really my words. Just sayin’.

By our dispossession do you mean like the Highland Clearances and the English Enclosure Acts or something more general like Capitalism?
Real capitalism– free enterprise, private property, etc– isn’t dispossession. There have been quite a few different schemes by which the oligarchs have stolen wealth. For example: –Buy a company, sell its assets, declare it bankrupt & by this means screw the employee retirement plans, shares, etc. –Get govt research paid by taxpayers to develop the technology you want, then takeover the patents and charge the public for use of the technology that the TAXPAYERS paid for in the first place. –Direct theft. Catherine Austen Fitt could give specific examples. Like just before 9-11 when trillions went missing from the military spending. –Monopolies which occurred through judicial/legislative bribery.

Covid-related political advertising has fallen off sharply as a result and strategists are advising candidates to shift their focus. . . . The demise of the Covid-centric campaign is, in part, a natural reaction to improving conditions surrounding the pandemic, with deaths declining, schools and businesses reopening and vaccines available in abundance. But the political fallout may be severe, especially for Democrats who ran hard on the pandemic in 2020, capitalizing on public sentiment that largely favored their party’s management of the crisis. As interest in Covid fades, Democrats may lose one of their most compelling campaign planks a little more than a year before a critical midterm election in which the party is already facing headwinds.… Read more »

So perhaps the result of the next election boils down to which of the two parties will come up with an equally frightful threat to replace it…?
No sane human being would vote in today’s ‘elections’.
Nothing which WE consider to be our vote is, in fact, a vote.
The results are engineered by our owners, and our votes only count if they fit the ‘narrative’.
Who hasn’t grasped that yet?
Who still thinks it is difficult for extremely wealthy organizations to bribe menial officials to do what they want?
Could be. Also a result of a lack of positive reasons to vote for someone. So fear becomes the best way to draw votes.
I think that was true in old-normal politics, that the apparently oppositional sides were effectively in agreement on which fears would be promoted and exploited in order to segmentize and corral the population. But we’re now at a stage when the threat of the re-education camp is becoming increasingly evident and “they” really are coming for the children.
But just simply not voting seems so pathetic somehow. What can one actually do?
“Polls suggest the pandemic is fading as a voter priority.” They can’t keep the fear going forever, and calling for lockdowns is clearly no longer a vote-winner (last year it probably was in many places).
One of the problems the Dems are going to face is that there’s a great deal of regional variability. For instance, the fear is still so real in NYC that the mayoral candidate could get away with implying that the jab would be mandated for children. Though I think he’s walking it back a bit now.

Australia and New Zealand’s pandemic response has been abysmal and without doubt heavy handed, what has been good is the amount of people who are starting to see through this b/s. I think Bill Gates should come to Australia and feel the love.

I wish we wouldn’t use propaganda phrases like “pandemic response”. We are in the most incredible psyop in history. Heavy handed is an understatement for pig excesses including the firing of rubber bullets into retreating protestors.

Silly me! The true meat is bang right in the middle of that article:
“The harrowing cycle repeats itself over and over, and only gets more grim.

The entire process is downright “Darwinian,” like a super-sped-up form of natural selection, Victora said. The weaklings are weeded out, leaving just the sharpest and strongest behind.”
Well have you figured it out yet? The highlighted part isn’t about a virus at all!
The Atlantic is published by “a not-for-profit entity” called the Atlantic Monthly Foundation. And this latter provides the register for The Council on Global Terrorism which, according to its website “the Council aims to facilitate dialogue between the most knowledgeable minds on “terrorism” and promote information-sharing that will have a direct impact on our ability to prevent and respond to future attacks.” (Wikispooks)

Yes, they can. They are doing it all the time with pollutions in the air, poisons in water and food, chemtrails, pharmaceuticals, fluoride in water, forced medicine in prisons and asylums, forced vaccinations in many countries, etc etc.
Didn’t read the article, did you? Legal challenges are being made on the wrong grounds. This NSW police officer did it correctly, and was paid off. Evidence included, so is worth your time.
Further, this NHS nurse offers sound advice.

Did you read the comments? ‘They’ will do everything in order to get what they want, including forcing people to take poisoned food, water, medicine and vaxx. They are doing it already in prisons, asylums and in many countries. There are laws already in most countries that if you are a danger to others and yourself you can be forced to take certain medicine, etc.
Wake up, girl. Be prepared to protect yourself.
What comments are you on about? READ the ARTICLE. Or stop spouting nonsense. Why do you think the govt PAID her OUT???
There are laws already in most countries that if you are a danger to others and yourself you can be forced to take certain medicine, etc.
Bottom line, is that governments can force medicine/vaxx on people, as they do this already legally.
You don’t even have to pose a danger. “Leading democracies” in the “free world” have laws permitting criminal actions or at least indemnity for those caught. UK passed such a law that protects several govt. departments this year.
So, they can do what they like.
Victorian legislation, I think, states the chief health moron can literally force you to take whatever potion they think needs to be taken by individuals to help the greater good etc. It’s all right there in the Vic legislation…as far as I have seen.

I caught a headline about a pregnant woman dying in connection with covid and the vax and I briefly thought that sanity has prevailed and she had died from the vax and they had admitted it’s all shit.
But no …
“The family of a woman who died with Covid before getting the chance to hold her newborn daughter have urged pregnant women to get vaccinated. …she told her family: “It’s too late now, when I’ve had my baby I will get my vaccine.””But she didn’t get the chance,”…” etc.
All of which inevitably leads to:

As I’ve often mentioned, I visit the aptly-named Yahoo site to see what kind of trash-tabloid infoganda du jour is being shoveled into the public maw.
I even, perhaps perversely, began “clipping” clickbait headlines/blurbs showcasing lurid scamdemic morality tales, e.g. “ironic” reports of stalwart Megadeath Virus of Doom skeptics allegedly coming down with severe or lethal COVID– and sometimes repenting on their deathbeds.
I never actually take the clickbait and read the stories, because the headlines/blurbs reproduce the gist of it.
But after I read your comment, I went back to actually read a story; the ambiguous headline had caught my eye earlier.
I regret posting a link to Yahoo, but it’s a good example of iniquitous vaccine-mongering:

She recommended the research and recommendations released by the CDC, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, all of which recommend vaccinations before or during pregnancies.”
So … “legitimate” = “vaccine”!
I wonder if they also used to recommend Thalidomide?
