Scottish Parliament votes to make Covid “emergency powers” permanent
Kit Knightly
Yesterday, Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) voted to make some the emergency measures – initially instated to “combat the pandemic” – permanent features of Scottish law.
Originally passed in March 2020, the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act established all sorts of powers never before claimed by the devolved parliament.
Now it is rebranded as the “Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) (Scotland) Bill”, and codifies a number of those “emergency” powers into permanent law.
These powers include permanently conducting criminal trials over video-link, registering deaths remotely, and other practices wide open to corruption.
Others grant parliament (or health bodies) the power to “restrict or prohibit access in respect of the whole or a specified part of an
educational establishment or of relevant premises”, as well as “make different provision for different purposes (for example, for different descriptions of people attending an educational establishment)”
For those who haven’t learned “bureaucrat” on Duolingo, that means ordering schools to close and/or exclude or segregate students of “different descriptions”. Unvaccinated ones, for example.
The justification for extending the powers is as weaselly as you’d expect, Deputy First Minister John Swinney told the BBC:
…the passing of this bill maintains those [powers] that will ensure we are better prepared for future public health threats, pragmatic reforms that have enabled more efficient or convenient public services, and some temporary changes to mitigate the impact Covid has had on our justice system.
So, just like that, emergency powers allegedly put in place to fight this “pandemic” are suddenly reasonably public health practices preparing us for the next “pandemic”.
The bill passed into law by 66 votes to 52 at its first reading.
After the UK passed its nationwide Coronavirus Act in March 2020, one defence the emergency powers granted to parliament were “only temporary”.
This was always totally untrue. Well over a quarter of the clauses in the Coronavirus Act specifically had no expiration date, and will last forever. On top of that, many of the “temporary” clauses were extended too.
Now the Scottish MPs have joined with their bosses in Westminster. And the UK is far from alone.
In France, President Emmanuel Macron has already extended the “state of emergency” on covid once, and is expected do so again before it expires at the end of next month.
South Africa has already extended its “state of disaster” twice.
Biden extended the USA’s “state of emergency” on Covid in February, in the long tradition of American “emergencies” that literally never end.
New Zealand’s COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 has a clause in it requiring extension by parliamentary vote every 90 days…and it passes every time.
Welcome to “emergency powers”. This is what happens. Every time.

This little country (five million) is really not that worth fussing over. They do it themselves with the racist white Celtic myth (debunked by DNA studies) and victimhood culture. Independent when it suits, ‘UK’ when not. Such a bore.
Add The Netherlands to the list, they are also trying to convert the temporary to the permanent.

Just window-dressing to try to curry favour with the masters. Hardly anyone takes ‘covid’ anymore – look around you. The failure of the covid coup is why the media seem so panicky. They hadn’t realised that their lies were so transparent or that their spymasters were so incompetent.
Great to see Offguardian socking it to the political puppets who inflicted the pseudo pandemic and the vaxfest upon us with such devastating results and are now enabling the Great Reset as a prelude to a new world order. However, I must confess to being somewhat surprised and disappointed that none of my favourite COVID watchers on Substack, including your good selves unless I am very much mistaken, appear to be interested in covering, let alone supporting, the Herculean efforts of Dr David Martin to expose the great vaccines fraud and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Few people seem even aware that in a few days’ time Dr Martin will launch a court case in the US against nine organisations and individuals behind āa criminal conspiracyā which he claims could result in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Among the listed defendants are Dr Fauci, the CDC, FDA, Pfizer and Moderna.
Is Doc Martin, an eloquent and urbane former adviser to the World Bank who clearly enjoys putting the boot into those he regards as public enemies, irrespective of their lofty status, simply too hot for you guys to handle? Or has the media campaign seeking to portray this intelligent, articulate and fearless investigator as an ego-tripping fantasist succeeded beyond the instigators’ wildest dreams?
Whatever one may think of the man’s style, the substance of his meticulously-researched evidence is impressive – as is the fact that he is risking his reputation (as well, one assumes, as a considerable amount of money) to throw down the legal gauntlet. Hereās a link to his latest interview, which includes an update on the pending court proceedings.

But you forgot Australia, and in particular that little state of totalitarianism Victoria, were premier Dan Andrews drew up Permanent Pandemic legislation six months in advice of the absolute last deadline for the emergency laws’ expiry, and then succeeded in pushing it through the Parliament with the help of bribery and blackmail of independents. Now we are stuck with it and the bastard who created it until someone does a better job of bashing the man up – though he has just appointed his successor pending this eventuality.
OMG! How ignorant! So glad I don’t live there. If I did, I’ve move to another country after this. Unbelievable!
The Caledonian Politburo, fight in the hills, fight on the streets, fight everywhere, die for freedom, because living in tyranny, nobody today can possibly know what comes afterwards, when the squeeze starts in earnest. My beautiful Scotland, descendants of warriors, lost forever because ignorance, greed and stupidity. Yes, it’s MY Scotland, MINE and all the peoples of Scotland. This is tyranny
Re: the trans issue: Isn’t it funny how the media exploded in wrath over the Jimmy Saville case … and then adopted a mutilating and eventually genocidal attack on kids everywhere that makes Jimmy look like a saint?
Scotland is doomed.

It’s significant that Graham Linhan got dragged into the hell of this in the following way:
Thus says the mighty Wiki – and you’ll note that they take the view of the outraged. Lineham’s self-defence comes as an afterthought.
Thats some crazy nonsense.
https://translanguageprimer.com/
The first paragraph (and I couldnāt manage anymore) has a question screaming in my head for every line:
?!
??!!
Ah so weāre going down the touchy feely wokey paradisal children of the soil untainted by Western civilisation routine!
Lots of explosions round that transgender community lately. I wonder why?
No, thereās now a countless number of genders and facets of gender experience created by a manufactured variety of words.
No, just creation.
āCreation under colonisationā ā ah the old bastards are still āoppressingā us. But ā triumphalist guffaw! ā weāre not going back! Never!
Nuance has been utterly removed from human society. Not by accident I’m sure. The absurd Woke culture, in lumping legitimate demographic minorities with made up minorities, has reduced legitimacy to a buzz word dependent upon Woken society for its value.
Black, Muslim, Gay, Asian, Indigenous – each demographic demonstrably discriminated against at one time or another; side by side with Gender Gifted, Pronoun Plureled, Genderless Obsessed, Catatonic, Aerobic Inclined – you name it, Woke will include it.
When real is combined with fantasy, the result is the same as combining meat with poison. (Hint: it isn’t the poison or the fantasy that suffers for it.)
Commenters at Graham Linehan’s site are having fun with those helpful examples for novice language-learners.
nasty (adjective): Blossom said: ‘The TERF is nasty.’
hate speech (compound noun): Lindax hates hate speech.
car (noun): Testicula said: ‘That is a car.’
I was curious about that blossom line there so I typed it into a search engine and was assaulted by an ocean where āshark infestedā will not suffice. Weāre talking Lovecraftian elder cities rising here. Amongst the delights on offer was this:
https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/9/5/20840101/terfs-radical-feminists-gender-critical
āThe rise of anti-trans āradicalā feminists, explainedā
Hint (as if you need one!): When an article proudly tells you it has āexplainedā something ā and even in the headline! ā then you know it’s mainstream hackwork. And donāt you love the implication that these āterfsā (a term suggesting some Doctor Who beastie) are painted as some external evil that needs accounting for?
Naturally these terfs āare working with conservatives to push their anti-trans agendaā. āConservativesā you see!
Next, the dreary pop-up tale of some dear little unassuming and ever so vulnerable regular trans person being harassed etc. But it does lead to one line of comedy gold: āI realize that some of you may have trouble understanding this. In truth, I have had to live with it every day of my life and even I do not fully understand it myselfā. Well no-one understands it really. No-one is meant to understand it. Everyone is simply meant to fume over it ācause we need something to fume over!
But hereās the meat (if I may be pardoned such an insensitive term!):
āOnline roots of the term TERF originated in the late 2000s but grew out of 1970s radical feminist circles after it became apparent that there needed to be a term to separate radical feminists who support trans women and those who donāt. Many anti-trans feminists today claim itās a slur, despite what many see as an accurate description of their beliefs. They now prefer to call themselves āgender critical,ā a euphemism akin to white supremacists calling themselves ārace realists.āā
Bravo! Not just that the terfs are equated with white supremacists but that the audacity of these terfs to critique the assumptions of this transgender talk is equated with the racistās blasĆ© assumption that the races really are different.
But this is Vox! So? It could be The Conversation, MIT, Open Democracy, the NTY, the Guardian, the BBC …. those Lovecraftian tentacles stretch everywhere!

Horses are just horses and remain as such. Men disappeared in a nebula of wokeness (witness US military) and feminism disappeared ladies.
When the chips are down and the Western economies implode nature will take its course. Horses will prevail, men will hunt and women will gather as is it has ever been when time compresses to accommodate survival.
All this ridiculous crap will be buried because there will be no time allowed to pontificate on hopelessly useless issues that offer no return as the strong act and the wimps? I’ll leave their destiny to your imagination.

They never say ”let’s share stories of 50,000 a year cancer victims, or 3200 a year suicides or the 1,000 babies under 5, or anyone much else. They get so much money from Gates their last brain cells have been fried.

It’s getting so we can recognize them on sight.
They look like the gangsters from an old James Cagney movie.
Which would seem to suggest that somebody, somewhere, recognizes this type, rather likes it, then sees to it that such Hollywood gangsters get the top jobs.
You’d think by now that they would be looking to brush up their image a bit, but no…
I can’t say I saw anyone. Maybe it was just a dream you were having?
By ‘them’, I just mean the insane people running everything today.
Even in Scotland.
I don’t know why you say “even” in Scotland. From the outset, it’s been clear that the Jocks have been mad for this stuff all the way along, with the Welsh not far behind.
I was shocked at first but am used to it now.
Even in Scotland? How about especially in Scotland?

Crooks will be crooks. They are probably planning for much more deaths from the ‘vaccines’ and assorted terrorism. What is needed is for emergency efforts to find a cure for the injection to save lives and ofcourse to halt any further injections. Dr David Martin is saying it could be 700 million dead in the next 6 years:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/XpmDnQHzFn62/
That would be devastating with most of the drs and nurses, media, police, military etc. having taken the jabs. We will need to have our own organisations set up. The status quo is already irrelevant but this will become more apparent when it collapses entirely. We will need to be prepared to live without them. The best is to act as if they are already out of the picture. We need to declare a state of emergency and act quickly to set up a new civilization.
“Crooks” is too polite a term for the destroyers – the devourers – of the people comprising mankind.
They are black magicians, ruthless, narcissistic, parasitic sorcerers, as well as reminders that the word “evil” used to be reserved only for the worst of the worst.
They pull decent human beings down to damnation by pretending they have god-like powers. But they do not. They just have industrial-quality, heavy-duty greed, backed up by staggering amounts of money conjured up either out of thin air, or from us.
What about calling them x’s? Would that be ok? Short and sweet.
“Pieces of shit” comes closer, although not exactly ‘sweet’…

…. Interestingly my country Australia has only just started seeing the outcomes of vaccines. 40% higher ambulance callouts for heart attacks in the last year, Qld health minister quote. 1000% new born infants hospitalised from breathing complications. 17.5% excess mortality over other years.
It seems that Scotland isn’t what I thought it was…
It isn’t even what I thought it was. And I have lived all my life there!
What percentage of the Scottish people would you say fell for the “pandemic” scam?
Are at least some of them now finally waking up?
(Same questions about the “trans” lunacy.)
Difficult to say because we Scots have always been eager not to upset the cart. Iām including myself in that category. What we usually do is put up with something and then grumble to others. (A bit like myself on the net – but I have broached the topic with others face to face and it never ends well.)
But at the very beginning of all this cova-crap, one of my colleagues ā not āacademically brightā but very astute (whilst being even more extreme about keeping his views to himself) ā mumbled āUnless itās a con!ā.
Most others I know swallow the shite and Iām afraid itās because they only listen to TV news. That includes the wife.
As for the trans tripe, nobody accepts it! Everyone considers it a total joke.
Thanks, George. I still have very close family in Scotland, including several young nephews and nieces. I was at first incredulous, then dismayed, then horrified at how obediently and uncomplainingly my brother and sisters swallowed all this panicmongering, anti-scientific shite. There was simply no persuading them to consider that they might be being lied to, or even that TheSciensssss might not be infallible and 100% trustworthy
They’ve all long since submitted to the needle.
They want to put the Enlightenment back in the bottle.
But they can’t.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t massive suffering instore for a lot of us. I suggest in the long run they will fail.
For me the most important result of the Enlightenment is the codification of the rights of the individual over the mob, particularly in the nascent US.
Well, that codification never worked in the US, and it won’t work here either.
Looks good on paper, though…
What do you mean by it never worked? There have been countless cases where the rule of law has prevailed in the US and justice has been done Not near enough of course. I’m assuming what you mean is it that it isn’t perfect. Well you aint going to find perfect.
What alternative government structure would you suggest?
The individual over the mob hasn’t worked for a long time.
US history is peppered with the holes in their individual bodies.
As I said, codifying those rights is a nice idea, but it doesn’t mean they’re going to be respected in real life.
Right now, I wouldn’t give much for the chances of any individual against Capitol Hill if Capitol Hill didn’t like what they were saying, and the Supreme Court is by no means ‘supreme’ in any moral sense.
People can have their say, but the judges and panels just yawn and do what they were going to do anyway.
Then we also have the problem of what is ‘legal’ being defined by compromised politicians and career criminals. That sure doesn’t help.
I don’t deny that right now is a particularly bad time for the rule of law in the US. But the law is the law. It’s still there, everything in the Bill of Rights is still the law.
A politician can’t come out and say the Bill of Rights is obsolete and will no longer be enforced. They would be done.
Yes, massive injustices are taking place. The criminal gang that runs things have been able to get away with this so far by their use of the mainstream media to mislead and divide people. Not to mention bribery, blackmail and murder of individuals who have a following that they don’t control.
These criminal gangs are on the wrong side of history, doesn’t mean they won’t always be here, but they will always be resisted.
Here in the US my impression is that it’s going to take empty bellies by people who have never experienced hunger to get them started thinking about what is in their true interests as far as their corrupt government is concerned.
But then again I could be wrong and humanity could be headed towards a new and improved dark age.
Don’t think they haven’t thought how hunger might hurt them here in the US. That’s probably why they’re making such a push to allow as many immigrants as possible across the border – so that they have a ready made demographic for Americans to take out their anger on.
“It’s those fuckin’ aliens that’s taking all the food!” will become the war cry of most Americans when the psychos manage to destroy the capacity of the nation to feed itself.

Yes, I think we can now take the idea of a permanent pandemic as being given. Boom, boom. Easy peasy. Now just let it seep into the popular conscience of the public and hey ho it will no longer be up for discussion.
I am just wondering what impact – if any – there will be on Joe Public. Time will tell but I think that the PTB may have bitten off more than they can chew.
In Australia they squandered $1 trillion propping up most of their mates. Today a battered woman on the run from danger, clearly abused, was given $500 credit card but no ability to access the fucking thing to even buy $36 of food for 2 days. I paid for her, it is a disgusting shit hole in Australia
I didn’t even know you could receive covid financial assistance. I’ve been in a private economic battle since 2009.
Today is Canada Day and on that occasion I’d hereby like to send a message to the Scottish Parliament and the assholes residing therewithin to go fuck themselves, eat shit, and shove their emergency powers back up their ass.
We the people will have none of that and if they try to exercise any such powers, they’ll be met with our wrath, so they’d better think twice.
Speaking about Canada, I’d like to remind all of its citizens of their ancestors who came to that country with nothing and despite the scorching heat in the summer and the freezing cold in the winter made the land one of the best places to live in the world. The same can be said analogously about other countries, where our ancestors worked and fought hard to achieve today’s prosperity.
So, the time is for everybody to grow some fucking balls and put the wokeian-covidian bunch in their place. Fuck them already. It’s not their fucking world. It ours, everybody’s.
Think of that if ever some shithead tries to exercise emergency covid powers on you, preferably with a fucking baseball bat at the ready.
Reading between the lines I’m guessing you’re not too happy with the current situation?

I fear “Canadian wrath” isn’t what it used to be…
I know what you mean, but then again, the most notable movement against the covidist horseshit came out of Canada – the Freedom Convoy.
Also, if there is a Western politician who makes sense it’s Pierre Polievre who is running for Tory leadership and quite likely to be elected prime minister.
I live in hope, Jacques, although the Tories spanning my lifetime have generally been a great disappointment – as much as the new ‘liberals’, who aren’t liberals at all.
I know and I don’t have high hopes that Pierre will bring things around, but he certainly says the right things.
We comment means shit has your assistance come to an end, and for all I know you could be an alien immigrant.
Citizens of this Country…ok, dumb fuck.
Look up the term “coherence” and see if you can incorporate it in your gibberish.
I have no idea what the fuck you’re trying to express through the shit you spew.
Covid was not only intended to demonstrate that long established covert global government could become overt at any time, but also that it is totalitarian, i.e. not subject to the will of the people, but their subjugator.
Thus, not only can the credulous masses be easily persuaded to drink the Koolaid, but they can be easily persuaded that illiberal, inegalitarian, and divisive measures are not only sensible, but totally compatible with libertƩ, ƩgalitƩ, et fraternitƩ.
So, any state can easily disregard the liberty of its citizens.
All that’s going on now is a process of consolidation, such that the ovine no longer need to worry about a lack of legislation in support of the draconian measures they fully embrace – Stockholm Syndrome style.
The message to the sapient is “This wasn’t a one-off. More, and worse, is yet to come. Prepare yourself.”
Resistance is futile.
I know that you used “resistance is futile” ironically but resistance is one thing they fear.
If they weren’t worried about resistance they wouldn’t invest the time and money they they do.
They are walking a tightrope.
It only needs a military coup or a police revolt to turn the tables.
That’s why they use different countries for different behavioural experiments.
If they tried the Australian or Canadian experiments worldwide the results would have been different.
They’ve found the resistance levels which was the purpose of those experiments
So, they’ve gained a lot of knowledge.
They know they can’t bulldoze the whole world at once
Time to bring on the financial turmoil and artificial shortages that we are seeing now.
When people can’t get food things will REALLY change.
I wonder what they’ve got planned for that because, as sure as eggs are eggs, they WILL have a plan.
I knew that most people would think I meant it sardonically (or ironically), but as I’ve tried to gently point out previously, unfortunately, it really is futile.
Not only is it way too late to mount any resistance (you’d need a time machine to go back at least 300 years to have any chance of success), but if you look deeply enough into what is going on, and the reasons for it, you end up at a Dark City style epiphany.
The mind-fuck that awaits you is the realisation that it is TPTB that are actually The Resistance.
Yeah. You don’t want to hear that, and it can’t possibly be true… etc.
Let’s put it this way: If you did a Rambo, and, with a bunch of mercenaries, tried to become a thorn in the side of TPTB, and, after all your mercs were neutralised, you were so respected as to be able to accept a ‘persuasive’ invitation to commit apostasy, and be fully informed as to what was going on, you’d understand why your resistance was futile.
Fortunately, if you do the leg work (research), you can obtain that understanding beforehand – before you waste your time (or your life) resisting.
IF… you’re sufficiently perspicacious.
Step 1: Don’t drink the Koolaid.
Go sell your bs somewhere else. As I said and I will keep saying it. Only a fool can believe what you believe to be true: that good can be done through evil.
Resistance is not futile and it will never be and the demons running this will find their necks hanging when we reach the end of all this. As an overly educated oxbridge fool you believe the satanic global controlling system of the anglo-saxon ruling classes is eternal. It is not. You have no fucking idea what you have awaken. Regardless of all the social engineering attempts, their soft and hard power will evaporate like a fart in the wind when enough people will have enough. And by the way this is going, it won’t be very long. Destroy all hope for the vast majority and you will figure out how resistance looks like and how safe pompous fools really are. And the chaos will be of such scale that no order will come out of it.
Look Mr Shiller, all the sapient readers will know that what is of concern here is what is happening in the world and TPTB that are making it happen.
Ad hominem is a distraction. It doesn’t matter whether I’m Jesus or Satan, wise or fool, Oxbridge or Camford. Let’s not distract the more easily distracted from remaining on topic.
Naturally, the credulous who love their government, that more or less represents them, warts and all, will have no inclination to resistance, except perhaps adjusting their vote at the next election.
You’ll then get the likes of those who’ve been brought up to believe that resistance is always available, and has always been used to good effect in overthrowing despotism. Thomas Paine helped here with “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it”
But we also have Mr Solzhenitsyn’s classic whinge:
What few appreciate is that Solzhenitsyn was trying to deflect his own ‘burning’ regret or blame upon himself (for not getting the heck outta Dodge when he could) on to those of his fellow men.
The lesson to be learned is not “This time, we’ll all rise up” or “We’ll all do our bit to resist the police state”, but that the people never rise up – unless TPTB contrive to make it happen.
It doesn’t matter how many times the ‘something must be done’ crowd proliferate this quote, the people will not rise up. Voting is an impotent comforter, and protests are only televised if TPTB have arranged them in the first place. Indeed, the French Resistance of WW2 was started by Britain’s Special Operations Executive (and French counterpart) precisely to avoid a tiny few loose cannons rising up (and shooting the wrong Nazis). Moreover, even if the masses could be fomented into action, it would be like a flock of sheep taking over the controls of a shepherd’s pie factory.
Ultimately, the only non-foolhardy act of resistance left to the sapient individual is to get the heck out of Dodge while they can. That is the only heroic act available to them – and it takes a lot of gumption (as Solzhenitsyn regretted not having).
Look here, mr. smart-ass, knows it all, no empathy psycho. The only shill around here is you. You are promoting some really out of the ordinary unsubstantiated theory. A theory that is based on the philosophy of fools: trusting that psychopaths that are doing obvious evils are doing that evil for the purpose of a higher good. Pure satanic thinking.
You show the exact same traits and techniques as the psycho elites:
You didn’t correct me or even comment – classic trait of the current perpetrators: ignore information that is against the official narrative or which can put the narrative in a new light – when I pointed out on a previous article that the highest elites of the most esteemed British universities are worshiping satan. I assume you know that for a fact and that you are actually serving the same master. It’s pretty clear that you are educated in the same spheres and have deep insights into the esoteric knowledge these elites use to recruit their acolytes. This is where your theory originates. You were presented while educated in one of these universities with some supposedly hidden knowledge and you bought it hook, line and sinker. You never figured it out that this supposedly higher-level truth is just gaslighting and a tool the elites use to recruit power hungry fools to do their bidding.
The fact that you can’t see where the fallacy lies when it comes to the philosophy behind the theory you and the elites promote tells plenty about your character. The fact that you don’t care about the suffering of others, that people are deceived, lied to and exterminated and it’s all a game of perspicacity to you reveals deep rooted psychopathic traits. I could go on but it would be pointless. You have chosen your master and you will serve him to your demise.
Those fortunate souls living in a bubble, out of whose rose coloring they view a lovely world filled with other fortunate souls in their own little bubbles who would resist the evil machinations of “TPTB” till the end of time – those, in other words, who have never noticed people by the score walking about reverently holding, caressing and obeying their smart phones: those dear Pollyannas will never accept such a concept as “Resistance is Futile.”
One can only hope Amazon will have a sale on bubbles in the near future.
So what you are saying is accept slavery? Accept injustice towards yourself and family? Are you saying we should all learn to grovel. And to grovel with dignity?

Slavery is what we’ve enjoyed for a long time (aka exorbitant peculation).
I am saying that resistance is futile, that if you do enough research you’ll find this out for yourself.
I am certainly not saying give up, but continue. If anything, redouble your efforts toward enlightening yourself.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Let’s put it this way, if you resort to violence against the state you have demonstrated your lack of sapience, and can look forward to joining the ranks of the vaxxed.
You present that argument in any debate on the planet and you will lose. Except perhaps in a western university.
It’s not about winning an argument, but learning, and helping others to do so.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
You’ve certainly got that bit right!
“You can lead a horse to water but you canāt make it drink.”
You can if you submerge it.. (The Pinochet Method.)
You can lead a man to “vaccine” but you can’t make him roll up his sleeve, unless you’ve lied to him for months, terrorised him with antiscience, excluded him from society, and threatened him with the loss of his job. That usually does the trick.
Implication: If you don’t resort to violence against the state, you can look forward to avoiding the ranks of the vaxxed?
Oldies, back flip leap frog to explain the present.
A 2020 summer classic, 300yrs, isn’t that a bit greedy for an investor, a Lot more than usual?
Nah, 55yrs, let’s go back to 1967. What happened 67-74, rather a Lot.
It can’t possily be true because it’s a total contradiction.
TPTB are resisting the depredations of a superior power.
Don’t be coy, O Bodhidharma. Enlighten us, please.
They can’t handle mass disobedience. Hell, they can’t even handle free speech. Notice that Musk is out of the public eye? That’s because free speech was destroying them. People kept calling out SpaceX for putting up the prison grid and showing pictures of his mother doing the one eye symbol.
Other topics they shut down include the vaccine patents crossing the blood brain barrier, politicians supporting Chabad, Noahide laws calling for the decapitation of people who don’t worship Enki (Aquarius, the new equinox), the Internet of Bodies, carbon nanotubes causing cancer, and programmable currency.
Each and every one of those would be viral articles, but shill sites (like this one), will never talk about any of them.
People should look up Noahide laws. US presidents sign them and every traitor politician supports them.
Also, Enki is the 14th piece of Osiris and the constellation sits above the Southern Fish. Its where all the 14 and Fish stuff comes from and is also why #14 was put on the rifles at the false flag shootings in Buffalo and Christchurch. Uvalde simply used the 14 students and a teacher to symbolize Enki (the teacher is Fomahault (the Pope, used to be called Dagon).
Close, but no cigar. š
Anyway, “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.” and you should know that Aquarius is the sign of the son of man, and Matthew is his emissary. “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Keep up the research…
It is a good thing that they are coming out into the open.
For instance in the Middle East there is this thing called the Abrahamic accords. This is where all the corrupt ME potentates get all lovey dovey with the Israelis. These corrupt leaders have been in Israel/US’s pocket for years, but always were against Israel for public consumption.
Now many of them are publicly in bed with the Israelis.
The thing is in order for this to happen and continue the citizenry of these countries must be held down. Egypt is the perfect example; one of the vilest police states in the world.
Only the corrupt leaders and their status quo flunkies (ex the Palestinian Authority in Palestine) support this. The vast majority of citizens do not.
So, it’s going to be very interesting the next time Israel starts slaughtering Palestinians like they are going out of style, how the masses of ME citizens respond to their leaders licking Israel’s boots.
Nothing will change. The Palestinians are Unpeople, they have no human value. Like the people in the Donbas. They are all Ay-rabs, towel head sand niggers. They simply don’t count. 15,000 massacred in the Donbas over 8 years with nary a word from the corporate whore media. Down the memory hole. Airbrushed out of history. Or 400,000 in Yemen, millions starving and dying of cholera. Or half a million children under 5 in Iraq. No need to worry about them. Just remember to wear your little blue and yellow ribbons for Ukraine.
The end goal is transhumanism and the Internet of Bodies.
Their future doesn’t happen without carbon nanotubes and neural implants put in your body.
It is absolutley necessary for them to put needles in your body, but too many people know that covid and the vaccines are a lie. So, the emergency powers will stay in every country.
The powers that be have to find a way for you to fear some fake pandemic, or protest so that you can be subverted and the military can be put on the streets.
The Internet of Bodies requires technology to be put in your body that will enslave you and shorten your life span. Carbon nanotubes are NOT biocompatible, they cause cancer. They have to shut down natural body processes, like VEGF, in order to make them biocompatible.
They know that people will not volunteer for the bullshit, so they have to find a way of forcing it. The vaccine patents are designed, among other things, to set your body up for the Internet of Bodies. The vaccine crosses the blood brain barrier, installs carbon nanotubes, shuts down the immune system and VEGF, but they have to have needles in your arm for it.
Shill sites will never report these facts to you, and its how you can tell that they’re shills in the first place. Vaccines crossing the blood brain barrier would be a massive story for any site, but shills still won’t report it.
Taking covid tests is a trojan horse, so stop taking them. If one person tests positive, then all of their close contacts and family members are “presumed” positive and eligible for quarantine and isolation (camps). Once in the camp, you will no longer have any rights. They can force you to take the injection because you’re under medical authority.
Their contempt for people’s intelligence means they always spell out the agenda behind an operation sooner or later:
https://dumptheguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/30/polio-virus-britain-london-sewer-vaccination
The agenda is clearly that the mere elimination of a disease isn’t reason to halt vaccination. As people are starting to realise, vaccines like measles and whooping cough were introduced when those diseases were 99% reduced. Measles and whooping cough aren’t scary enough though – so send for polio!
US “emergency government” was unilaterally decreed by Trump in March 2020. The Democrat Party Platform leading into Nov. 2020 election states that it will not end “emergency government” (decreed by Trump) even if the pandemic ends until certain job numbers are achieved. Citing Covid, the Republican Party didn’t publish a 2020 “platform.” They say the 2016 GOP Platform is still in effect. Covid didn’t prevent Democrats from writing a platform. The entire political class is thrilled with “emergency government.” House and Senate would prob. vote unanimously to make it permanent.
Edwige, I don’t know about whooping cough, but measles was a near-universal experience for schoolchildren until the measles vaccine. I know that from personal experience, and that was not due to some problem with hygiene or nutrition.
That said, the measles vaccine may be a bad idea for all except very sick children who might be killed by measles.
“Everyone knew” that the childhood diseases built the immune system. Minor diseases which affected the whole system– skin, lymph nodes, gut, etc– conferred a degree of general immunity that a measles or chickenpox vaxx cannot. That was the theory & it has a lot to recommend it.
Itās Weasley for sure ! The powers donāt need to be made permanent . Objectively we are still in endemic phase if you were discussing management . However permanent ruling does confer with a greater agenda
US pilots say “staff shortage” due to the vaxx mandate:
A total of 1,800 flights have been canceled so far this 4th of July week in the US, according to the Hill, and between June 16 and 20, there were more than 5,300 flights canceled, according to CBS News.
It wd be good news if so many pilots quit rather than accepting the poison. But sadly, some of those non-flying pilots have acquired heart problems due to the vaxx– and others may be flying with “minor” chest pain.
Looks like about 3.7% of males get heart problems after the full vaxx schedule!!
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/a-37-rate-of-myocarditis-in-our-latest
Could this be right? Seems awfully high.
I think it’s correct.
Carry that through to it’s logical conclusion – people won’t WANT to fly.- which was the goal.
More vaxxed friends this week down with “covid” as “cases rise”
You gotta admit the bastards are clever.
Pure evil – but clever!
Potential threat to flight crew.

I’m really looking forward to Craig Murray penning his next anti-English vitriol article – it will make for interesting reading him claiming that the soon-to-be-founded Utopia of Independent Scotland is going to be a bastion of liberty, tolerance, bottom-up innovation and the like…..

Yeh, Scotland’s not the only malevolent govt.
US govt just bought 100 million more doses,w an option to buy 190 million more.
Actually, there DOES seem to be another wave of covid– among the boosted.
CBS admits that vaxx boosters increase covid incidence– then attempts to explain it away: The boosted & vaxxed are overconfident; hence engage in risky behavior.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-vaccine-booster-shot-infection-rate/
COVID-19 is more than twice as prevalent among the boosted, compared to those who quit after the initial series. Their rate of 119.94 per 100,000, contrasts with 56.44 per 100,000 among those with the primary series only.

AIDS-Like “Chronic Covid” is Taking Over Europe, Australia and NZ
The Boosted Cannot Clear Covid Easily and Keep Getting Reinfected
Almost everyone I know now who is vaxxed (which is almost everyone I know) has had “Covid” (or said they had), which was not the case pre vax.
Could be “risky behaviour”, but I doubt it.
Offguardian restores voting. Scottish politicians prepare to wind down democracy. What the politicians learned from Hitler seems to be “It’s best to do it by stealth.”
Looking at the photo: in session, with so many stage lights shining on them the pollies must perform like actors; with so many cameras pointing at them – clearly their masters dont trust them ! (A Panopticon designed as a parliament .)
In about the eighth paragraph it looks like a typo. I think by reasonably you meant reasonable
Whatever you may think of Glenn Greenwald, the quote here is spot-on. Of course, for most of the regular readers of this site, nothing new here. But you may want to consider sending this to someone you know who has succumbed to the real plague that is currently ravaging society – the Pandemic of Mass Formation.
“Whether by design or not, the effect of cultural battles is that Americans end up bitterly divided one against the other, rather than focused in unity on the malice and treachery of ruling class power centers and their self-interested schemes of corporatism and militarism.”
There’s no such thing.
What you’re seeing is the stupidity and ignorance that’s always there and always has been there. It’s observable now because people have been told to believe stupid things, and as always they willingly oblige.
However one wants to define it, and regardless of how long it’s been around, I think we can agree we have a problem.
Absolutely, although I think “problem” is a bit light on descriptively.
I posted this very quote today.
In the U.S., because of the false flag attack on 9/11 and the resultant State of Emergency, anyone 21 or younger has now lived their entire lives under a manufactured state of emergency which apparently will continue until they die. The absurdity of human life on earth has now reached completely nonsensical proportions. But hey, just wait til next election.
All part of trying to legitimise the destruction and harm they have caused from being advised by overpaid medical āexpertsā who are the criminal enablers of the scamdemic.
A long way from Braveheart.
Looking to Mel Gibson films for accurate depictions of reality?
In his recreation of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, where’s the bridge? Luring an outnumbered English force over the bridge, cutting them off and massacring them maybe looked a bit too unheroic for Mel. And don’t get me started on that woad…
‘Conspiracy Theory’ is a documentary in comparison.
Mel Gibson is an actor.
All he is required to do is look the part.
He’ll do fine as an inspiration to real Scotsmen resisting English arrogance and pomposity.
I’m English myself, but I’d take my grandfather’s Scottish side against them any day.
Just as Chomsky rightly says that the Ukraine ‘war’ could be fixed overnight if Zelensky would just declare his country’s neutrality before dinner-time, English foreign policy could similarly make sense once again, if we just stopped picking our Prime Ministers from trailer-park trash whose lottery money got them into Eton.
No disrespect to genuine trailer-park society intended.
That’s your opinion.
The only good thing to be said for that film is that it gave a lot of Scottish students an easy summer job.
And that’s why you’ll never get a dime from me. Pity, as I truly do respect highly Kit Knightly and Ed Curtin – but if my criticism of your stupid wanking countrymen is too much for you that you feel it is valid for censoring – well — fuck off, fake freedom-seekers, fuck off!
Your comment is there. Both of them are.
Well, now you have zero excuse not to pop a penny in our jar. š And welcome to the site! A2
Totally tangential remark, but I have to say it:
This is the first time I have ever seen a photo of the interior of the Scottish Parliament Building. I would go insane within fifteen minutes of stepping foot inside there. It’s absolutely ghastly. How could any of the poor souls who have to abide in that place make a rational decision?
We return you to the germane discussion …
An appalling “eclectic” mess, a suffocating maze, a criminal waste of an extraordinary location, a blot on the landscape and the city.
In managing to be both obnoxiously ostentatious and utterly unimpressive, it’s the Lady Gaga of architecture.
The luxury-favela look:
The designers were definitely ripping off MC Escher with this offensively grotesque would-be homage. I suppose that this influence is appropriate to the surrealistic, dystopian Through the Looking-Glass nature of the body it houses.
Walking around it with my daughter on a visit back to Scotland in 2008, I thought (and said, though probably a wee bit less charitably):
What is the actual fucking point of those wonky poles?
What is the actual fucking point of those wanky windows?
What is the actual fucking point of that grotesque and utterly superfluous “staircase effect”?
All this junk is slapped onto the surface of the building, and no one knows why. None of it is either functional or decorative, none of it is beautiful or even useful. It’s all senseless and as ugly as sin. It’s headache-inducing. And that’s before you even venture inside…
Is it meant to look and feel like a jerrybuilt jail?
“Star architect” Enric Miralles dropped a big smelly turd on Edinburgh and got rich doing it, at the people’s (huge) expense. The building is a perfect symbol of Scottish politics and society.
All that reminds me of Michael Gove’s most edifying idea of supplying every school with a big facsimile 400th anniversary edition of the King James Bible (a snap at 40 quid each). As one teacher remarked, these were the most expensive doorstoppers in history.
I’d have given every school in the UK a football or a punchbag with Gove’s face printed on it. Would have done wonders for the kids’ fitness.
Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room,
Only to find Gideon’s Bible.
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

66 voted in favor, who would have thought. It would have been 33, only it would not have been a majority.
Anyway who cares. The official purpose of government is to represent the will of the people, to preserve their freedoms. We are government. Governments function is not to impose rules upon the people.
However, it’s clear this is whats happening under current quasi governments running the global systems today. These are not governments, they are corporations. They offer services and security to live under their jurisdiction and unknowingly we have consented. Some may even prefer this system as it removes all responsibility from the individual. However, it also make one a minion of the system.
Humans, in fact all sentient beings don’t live well under these natural conditions and it takes massive amounts of resources to keep their lies out of sight. Drugs, alcohol, tv, porn, sport and other bullshit around the clock. Even with all this, their scam of world dominance is always on the verge of collapse, as it is now.
We can be forgiven for not understand what’s going on in the past, but not anymore. In the past 3 years we have all felt the effects of the system and we have all been forced against our will. We can no longer claim ignorance.
The few that still don’t get it can’t be helped, but I believe these are a small minority. If someone threatens your livelihood if you don’t participate in a clinical trail and think this is normal you are delusional beyond repair.
How you fix it? Stop using their services, it’s that simple. You get to vote every time you open you wallet. All the corporations are not independent they are subsidiaries of the corporation called government. Hence why they all use the same masonic logos and move in lock step when it comes to surveillance, jab policy, masks, etc.
STOP using their services. Always chose the local small independent plummer, builder, grocer, coffee shop etc.

One way in which governments are becoming like corporations is that corporations may have monopoly but they don’t have sovereignty.
Unjust laws are to be ignored.
And their authors held to account.

“Emergency powers” have been the enabler for most state arrogations of power and removal of freedoms. None of the “pandemic” restrictions or removal of safety criteria on Covid “therapies” would have been possible w/o them. It’s odd that they haven’t been a particular subject of study here.
