This Week in the New Normal #54
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.San Fran’s Killer Robots
According to a report from The Verge, the San Francisco Police Deparment has submitted a proposal that would permit robots to use “deadly force” on suspects:
The San Francisco Police Department is proposing a new policy that would give robots the license to kill […] The draft policy, which outlines how the SFPD can use military-style weapons, states robots can be “used as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option.”
To be clear, these are not “robots” in the science fiction sense of the word. We’re not talking RoboCop or the T-800, they are essentially remote-controlled vehicles, mounted with various anti-personnel devices to disperse crowds or bomb disposal equipment.
That said, it flies in the face of official justification of deadly force in the first place, which is that the suspect presents a direct threat to the police officer. The proposal argues that robots would be empowered to protect the public whilst not putting officers lives in danger.
Nevethtless, it doesn’t sit right that people could be killed by remotely controlled machines.
In the military sphere, we have already seen how drones have distanced killers from the their victims, and made the process of dropping firey death an entirely one sided and clinical affair.
It’s not hard to see increasingly militarised police going the same way.
2. holiday heart syndrome
Another week, another non-vaccine reason your heart might explode. This time it’s “holiday heart syndrome”.
Apparently cold weather, stress, alcohol consumption and dehydration can all coalesce into heart problems.
So if you or a loved one keel over soon, that’s why. It was not the vaccines, it was holiday heart syndrome.
That or the stress of high energy bills. Or you made your bed too vigorously. Or those evil anti-vaxxers stressed you into it.
Pick one. Pick several if you want. Just don’t use “the V word”.
At least HHS – unlike “post-pandemic stress disorder” – has the benefit of having supposedly existed since before the vaccine roll-out (the term was apparently coined in 1978).
Still, though, it is pretty weird how much they talk about heart attacks these days.
3. Canadian Paralympian offered euthanasia over late stairlift
A paralysed Canadian army veteran, and former Paralympian, has testified in front of parliament she was offered euthanasia after complaining about the delay installing her stair lift.
Testifying in front of the Canadian parliament’s Veteran Affairs Committee, Christine Gauthier claimed:
I have a letter saying that if you’re so desperate, madam, we can offer you MAID, medical assistance in dying,”
According to CBC, Gauthier has offered to show the letter to the media and parliament. You can watch the report below:
BONUS: Rewritten history of the week
CDC director Rochelle Walenksy made news this week when she marked the 50th anniversary of the Tuskegee Experiment by honoring the “sacrifice” of the men involved:
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the end of the Tuskegee syphilis study. Tomorrow, I will be joined by colleagues & #PublicHealth leaders as we honor the 623 African American men, their suffering & sacrifice, and our commitment to ethical research and practice. https://t.co/cbR8Shy0Db
— Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH (@CDCDirector) November 29, 2022
For those who don’t know, the Tuskegee Experiment involved the deliberate withholding of treatment from black men infected with syphilis, without their knowledge, in order to study the progression of the disease.
It was not “sacrifice”, it was pure evil.

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention how Graham Hancock’s “ancient apocalypse” theory is racist and should be banned or the African Union calling for a “new approach” to ending hunger…sponsored by Bill Gates.
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.

The top story in all alternative-news outlets really should be the total absence of coverage of the USA’s pending imposition of an income tax on anyone making over $600 in a single year. That’s right: take in only enough to cover, say, a month’s rent on an uninhabitable hovel, and the IRS will take part of it away from you. This plan, cooked up by the ‘Democrat’ wng of the US’s uniparty, is slated to begin on 1 January of 2023. The Guardian ran a piece (of shite) today about the dangers of living in Dem-run cities (Philadelphia in particular), blaming, of course, guns and poverty… problems which only Dem’s want -allegedly – to ‘fix’. No mention of the D-plan to drive into utter destitution the currently poverty-stricken. I have only seen one person mention this atrocity on any news outlet, anywhere. Watch this if you live in the US,… Read more »
Former military shill.
No doubt. I care about the message, not the messenger, in this case.
One of a slew of recent articles proclaiming the death of social media (ditto twitter and instagram):
https://dumptheguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/07/metaverse-slow-death-facebook-losing-100bn-gamble-virtual-reality-mark-zuckerberg
Of course, one could put this down to the old media merely dissing the competition. They seldom report on their own catastrophic decline, obviously. However, is there something more going on here? Has their data-gathering whizz turned around to bite them on the arse and they don’t like it?

Graud urgent announcement: “Sturgeon told Scotland’s climate targets are ‘in danger of being meaningless’ Committee on Climate Change says nation is highly likely to miss 2030 carbon reduction goals because of lack of plans to reach them” Those mysterious carbon targets MUST be met. Here are the scientifically verifiable problems: “Despite pledging to stop the sales of all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, sales of electric cars in Scotland had fallen behind England. Scotland’s plans to rapidly decarbonise heating in buildings “were still wholly inadequate” despite recent funding increases. Scottish ministers were failing to tackle high levels of meat and dairy consumption, key causes of CO2 emissions from farming. Scotland was meeting only half its target to restore 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) of peatland a year. Scottish ministers were failing to work collaboratively with other UK governments on shared climate strategies.” So – More electric cars Freeze the buildings… Read more »
I didn’t realise our governments were actually stating this as an aim of theirs (thought it was more surreptitious). Wow.
American’s FrontLine Doctors turns out to be fraudulent/controlled opposition:
https://reinettesenumsfoghornexpress.substack.com/p/americas-frontline-doctors-all-roads
AFLDS and several other “health freedom” doctors promote the narrative there really was a novel virus in 2020. Some of these individuals claim to have treated thousands of patients with Ivermectin + HCQ, etc. What if that’s all fake? What it they’re all Controlled Opposition who promote the reality of SARS-COV-2? I live in an area that supposedly had high “COVID” deaths (which were really due to sedatives, Remdesivir and ventilators). Back in 2020, I only knew 3 people who tested “positive” for COVID and only one guy had symptoms (loss of smell). In 2022, I know 10 people who tested “positive” for COVID and they’re all vaxxed, of course.

The latest article by the excellent American writer, Gary D Barnett (he’s been posting these spot-on pieces re. the global coup and all its horrific aspects since the start):
“Depopulation and Democide at every turn: this is the planned future you have voluntarily accepted”, at:
https://garydbarnett.com/depopulation-and-democide-at-every-turn-this-is-the-planned-future-you-have-voluntarily-accepted
N.B., the writer, Gary Barnett, does realise that not everyone has complied… he knows that not everyone has ‘voluntarily accepted’ this plight that we find ourselves in.
Stop your “climate inaction” or else…

Feigned reluctance is one of their favourite tricks (see Britain’s entry into both world wars). So is pretending something engineered is just sort of happening (is there anything more annoying about normies than their insistence that because they believe everything is just random shit happening they are the grown-ups in the room?)
Anyway, coming next week… how anyone who thinks geo-engineering is a thing is a crazy conspiracy theorist.
In fairness, the Guaridan article linked to above about Hancock’s new movie doesn’t have much to say about racisim. However, it did contain this little nugget:
I never knew archaeology was so subversive!
The Graud article has the feel of something written on automatic pilot by someone who had never even viewed or read or heard of Hancock. Indeed, it is an article that may have been software generated.
“Sleepwalking”?… as if nobody’s been warning about this! Truly, alt-sources are unpersons!

you forgot the anti-vaxers ….
Italian photojournalist Giorgio Bianchi, who has been reporting from the Donbass since 2014, has returned to Donetsk as of yesterday.
You can hear his first of a planned series of eye witness reports by following the link.
He is interviewed on Visione TV by the redoubtable Francesco Toscano. Unfortunately for many, the interview is in Italian. It contains numerous, so-far unreported details of life in Donetsk, as well as Moscow.
https://youtu.be/t3JxLxUTXho
PS OG editors, I’m sure Giorgio Bianchi would be happy to do an interview for you. He speaks English. I believe some direct information from these newly enfranchised parts of Russia would be of great interest to the OG community. Maybe Riley can get in touch with him?

A plague of purple kid photos! Only one answer! “Preventive anti-biotics”! It may be something, it may be nothing, but The Science is unequivocal and the streptococus parawheegics are multiplying in a truly perambulatory fashion! There’s no time to lose! (Look! Here’s another purple kid strapped up to life support!)
Oddly enough my step-father (who is 89) had a nasty strep A infection in his gut a month or so back. He is vaxxed and boosted. It does make me wonder if this is another adverse side effect…
Cheesy bathos:

“We’ve just welcomed the 8 billionth member of the human race on this planet. That’s a wonderful birth of a baby, of course. But ….”
(Ominous chord!)
“….we need to understand that the more people there are, the more we put the Earth under heavy pressure,”
Shoot the evil little new-born fuckers!
(Organ music to introduce the sermon)
“As far as biodiversity is concerned, we are at war with nature. We need to make peace with nature. Because nature is what sustains everything on Earth … the science is unequivocal.”
Hallelujah! Praise The Science!
And here come “the five horsemen of the biodiversity apocalypse”!
(Subtle, eh? It’s remarkable how Biblical this “Science” is!)
On the collapse of the Discord option, I considered it to be like a kind of cyber pub whilst it lasted. It was really heartening to have a spot to pop in on and just let rip in a more intimate way than with OffG. Now that it has gone, I recall one of the most ominous moments of the covid ploy: that time that a furtive gathering in a darkened room simply to play a game of dominoes was …. routed! (And it occurred to me at the time that the story was so absurd, it may have been staged but that kind of makes it worse – as in “Don’t think you can get away even with something as intimate as this!”) The rulers loath the thought of anyone out there converging into groups and drifting away from the designated course of received wisdom from clone sites like… Read more »

What does this portend?: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/02/even-now-nobody-wants-confront-awful-truth-britains-pandemic/ It sounds like a confession: “Even now, nobody wants to confront the awful truth about Britain’s pandemic lockdowns” But there’s a little dodge right away: “As the Chinese people protest against zero Covid, some reflection on our own awful experiences might have been expected” (Also note that this is by Douglas Murray, a “Right Winger”, and therefore up for programmatic dismissal by the “Left Wing” of the media formation.) So we get a little morality tale from James Thurber that is based on a panic created inadvertently. So you already know where this is going. Murray urges us “not to downplay the seriousness of the Covid pandemic” but “for most of the population, the actual threat of the virus was as minimal as a puddle around their feet”. Murray then considers various draconian cases of repression.… Read more »
Telling half the story years late is always the tactic by the media on news important to the government. Remember how long it took them to expose even some of the lies about the Iraq War? These are people who are supposed to be top professionals and have daily deadlines! Of course, what they’re really doing is leaving the truth until the liars are no longer in office and the moneymen and women have filled their pockets.
And until people no longer care so then they can say never mind all that, it’s ancient history and we need not pay any attention to the past. And most will happily go along with that, some will even get extremely angry when confronted by how that history not only still matters, but is being repeated every day. The liars who should swing from a rope count on just that herd mentality out of the majority, and it works for them still.
The delay allows the destruction of incriminating evidence or stashing away of gains safely. So, why bring up the crime or blunder? To distract from something current, usually bigger.
I call it “afterwise “journalism.After a nice safe distance -once all the terror has been enacted-these “reporters” do their job.
Like David Icke said many years ago, so called journalists are repeaters not reporters.
For me the pushing of assisted death was the alarm bell that told me government wanted some of us dead.
Really? That did it for you? well, better late than never.
In the 90s I should have said.
I’m sure you were not awake to this in the 90s smarta$$.
Most of my family was awake in the 70s mate let alone the 90s. None of this is new. My awaking started in 1969 watching the so called moon landing bollocks at 16 years old with my Dad telling me to question everything.
No shit Sherlock.

This week’s top prize (so far) for an attempt to fuse together two of their ridiculous narratives:

This week in the New New Normal: The Yellow Vests are 4 years old: By Ramin Mazaheri and cross-posted with PressTV Iran “On December 1, 2018, the Yellow Vests announced themselves to France, the world and the history books with their slogan: “The Yellow Vests will win”. They went on to become the biggest, most organic, most devoted and most truly revolutionary threat to “Western” [Anglo-Capitalist] regimes. The world never expected a genuine resistance movement to sprout in France, one of “the West’s” worst imperialists, and yet for the next six months every single Saturday was a war zone across France. France was truly in a revolutionary situation, and the Yellow Vests bravely endured 11,000 arrests, 1,000 political prisoners, 5,000 protesters seriously hurt, 1,000 critically injured, scores maimed for life and 11 deaths. I’m not sure what was worse – the repression by the French regime, or the way “Western”… Read more »
heres something that merits a minute or two,
the position re vax damage, “geography” and “creation” will hit a nerve with many, the discussion moving on re a “saviour” will set alarm bells ringing, further investigation of who promotes this inc rothschilds and rockellers may give a hint as to how the now imminently exploding pressure cooker will be vented…..
and if you thought standing against vax doctrine was hard…. you just try standing against a “global solution”, it will be interesting to see how many of the “awake” fall for this one?

With Dr. Sam’s interpretation of the Spanish flu contagion experiments (sick soldiers spitting into well soldiers’ mouths) in my mind, I fearlessly, sans mask, firstly, witnessed and lived amid my aged father-in-law’s sudden fever and severe headache, soon, via some test (unsure of type) diagnosed as corona. A day later came my mother-in-law’s fever and sleepy weakness, also named corona. Then my wife came down with a fever and headache (untested) and lastly me, now with a cough, no fever yet and purposefully masked. I and my wife are up in snowy Sapporo near the Arctic Circle in supposedly the hottest of Japan’s corona hot spots helping the folks out. Hard for me now to deny the contagion germ/terrain theory argued about in these pages. I caught whatever I got from somebody else.
The absurd gaslighting mentioned about heart attacks, and covered in more depth by OffG previously – that it is the ‘anti-vaxxers’ talking about the side effects that causes the side effects…Just had a normie friend casually send me a message telling me I am partly responsible for the deaths of millions of people.. Told him it’s time for us to have a proper conversation, a video call (different countries) with screen sharing. I will show him MHRA yellow card, VAERS, Eudravigilance, powerful video clips, official government acknowledgements, COVID figures revised after manipulation, leading cause of death in UK is ‘unknown cause of death’… I said I’m open to debate and discourse, but whatever he cites cannot be “experts said…” or “the general consensus”. He has to back it up. Total silence so far. It’s dependent on whether or not we will meet again in real life. Last chance to try… Read more »
Anyone who would feel the need to casually tell you that YOU are even partly responsible for the deaths of millions of people is first off an idiot, secondly, really just an asshole and not your friend at all. I had one tell me it was my civic duty to get that shot and guess what, we no longer speak and will probably not ever speak again. She is no big loss and really, I should have known long before that remark that she really never was a true friend at all. I wish you luck in the deprogramming, but I don’t hold out much hope your normie non-friend will hear you, much less take the time or make the effort to think about one thing you will say. Facts slide right off of them in their zeal to condemn. My only hope is one day all the idiots like… Read more »

In the US, capital punishment sentences are often contested on the grounds that the prospective execution violates the Eighth Amendment provision of the US Constitution which prohibits the infliction of “cruel and unusual punishments”. I started to comment, somewhat facetiously, that the proposed killer robotic devices (as opposed to “robots”, which for me is close to a distinction without a difference) would surely violate the above-cited clause. But then I suddenly realized that, as far as I know, the popular US police practice of summary executions– “suicide by cop” and otherwise– is never contested on the grounds that such summary execution is “cruel and unusual punishment”. So whether the executioner is up close and personal, or a remote device operator, such spontaneous killings are apparently exempt from Eighth Amendment challenges. Of course, since the victims of summary executions prior to arrest, trial, and conviction are deceased, perhaps such “challenges” are moot. Very… Read more »
Shoot first, ask questions after!
Or in line with CV19 protocols: shoot first and no questions afterwards.
No questions, complaints or compensation. It is The Science. As Judge Dredd said: I am the Law.
If only the designers of the US Constitution had had the foresight to make the concept of “Cruel and Unusual Punishment” (plus the other nine members of the Bill of Rights) part of a Woke Culture instead of a Constitution, everything would be fine. Cops wouldn’t have guns and killer robots wouldn’t be sent out to roam the streets.
But oh no, they had to go and put in a Constitution so it could be forgotten!
The police in America are but a step away from full on military intervention on their citizens and this includes ‘robots’ which is just another ‘natural’ development. On watching a few episodes of Cops on Utube you find that many are ex Afghanistan/ Iraq servicemen or women who see their duty to ‘safeguard’ the public by adopting the same ingrained tactics and attitudes they used in foreign lands and they do this with manic devotion to the cause. One such episode shows a young man riding a bicycle with a faulty tail light. On hearing the siren he tries to flee but is tasered, caught and brutally handcuffed. They remind him that running from the police is a felony even although the guy was terrified by the event. One then sees 3 police cars and 6 officers making much ado as a tiny quantity of grass was found in his… Read more »

I suppose the killer robots will be nicknamed Nancy in honor of the retiring speaker of the house. Only republicans will be targeted. “We got some conservatives out here protesting the Covid vaccines again. Let’s bring bring in Nancy”………………..
Nancy is busy getting sloshed.
you mean “hammered”
She may have been the one doing the hammering……. For some reason the details on the incident are being concealed. A good chance she was caught on the body cam in the middle of a sloshed hammering……
The CBC and the federal govmnt are working overtime to discredit her.
Censorship of any questioning that paints the govmnt as lacking in anything is standard op.

NB, Grammar Nanny Alert: “Walensky” is misspelled (mistyped?) in the line below the sub-headline. __________________________________________________ That pedantic correction made, Walensky’s Orwellian “rewiting history” tribute to the Tuskegee Experiment victims reminds me of Obama’s reprehensible spin on the subject: In 2021, Obama and former NBA superstars Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley “starred” in a “COVID” jab public service announcement. This article from “The Grio”, a corporate mainstream site geared to a black audience, provides the background– which may be unintentionally revealing despite its nominally approving factual content: Obama, Shaq and Barkley record PSA encouraging Americans to get vaccine The PSA was created to address the “problem”– bewailed and flogged by hand-wringing, patronizing, supercilious, sanctimonious vax-mongers– of “vaccine hesitancy” in the black community. The “hesitancy” was attributed to the prevalence of abiding anti-vax ignorance and paranoid fear in the community, which in turn was attributed to the general belief by skeptical and cynical Persons… Read more »
You are right on target with your comments. The Black men in the Alabama “experiment” were told they were participating in a study for “bad blood”. They were lied to the whole time because penicillin the new drug to treat syphilis which was available at that time was deliberately withheld and the men suffered horribly. This “experiment” lasted forty years! Like with Shaq and Obama the face of the operation was Eunice Rivers Laurie a Black nurse who had gained a degree of trust within the Black community when she worked for Tuskegee University and the Alabama Health Department. She ultimately sold our community out and was active on the project mostly on a part time basis during the whole forty years. This is why the US government spent so much money and time targeting the Black community with pro-vax propaganda and marketing. They were trying to combat “vaccine hesitancy”. They… Read more »
My best friend’s father was part of that experiment. She did not know that until just a few years ago. He told her how he was taken from school one day, along with several other 14 year old boys, to a hospital, no prior notice to his parents, of course. He was there a week, and he did get the penicillin. He still has some kind of marker, if you will, in his bloodstream and they found that when he had to get medical attention for the very early stages of dementia – at first the hospital thought he might have tertiary syphilis until they did some tests. The horrible irony is he’s 92 now, is experiencing full blown dementia, is extremely physically healthy as he worked out a lot all of his life, but had to be shot up since he’s now in assisted living.

They can’t allow blacks who refused the vax to appear in any way justified.
The victim mindset is a major barrier to equality. Yes, the government crapped on a bunch of black people way back when in a reprehensible experiment. But that was then, this is now. Black, white, brown, yellow, red — it doesn’t matter your color any more if ‘they’ are doing it to you then you’ve got the same information as everyone else so use it. Empower yourselves. Don’t sit in a well of self-pity because that will not do any good — when it comes to shafting people the government has definitely been equal opportunity. . The only reason ‘they’ got away with it back then was the low level of education among the black community. This isn’t something to celebrate then and its definitely not something to celebrate today. (BTW — The only treatment for syphillis when the experiment was started was arsenic based drugs (Salversan). This replaced earlier… Read more »
Wow, you’ll say damned near anything, won’t you? It was all just the state of Alabama then? If that’s in any way true, why then does our former President feel the need to USE that atrocity to justify yet one more medical experiment on innocent people? Jesus, do you hear yourself? It is glaring obvious you do not.

“Oh, it’s that they didn’t give them the medicine! Oh, what a relief. We thought it was just pure evil neglect, malfeasance and murder.”
And the way he said it. Like Mr. Roger’s explaining something to the neighborhood kids.
I have come to the conclusion, unpopular as it may be, that these guys and gals are no longer seeking money and power but are totally, at this point, controlled. By threats to themselves and family.
Because I don’t know how you can record a video like that, or the famous Pelosi fancy freezer at the beginning of the cvid nightmare, and actually believe what you are saying.
Yeah, Obama personified the government and healthcare-authorities’ “Stern Parent” approach, in all its utterly patronizing and condescending ingloriousness.
The assumption was that Authority Figures of Color had to both cajole and scold recalcitrant blacks into “taking their medicine”, exactly as refractory and disobedient children are persuaded to take bitter medicine or eat despised vegetables.
There was, of course, another embedded assumption: all reasonable adults (see above) accept that the “medicine” is good for them, exactly as the marketers, advertisers, and scamdemic authorities insist. How dare the black community refuse the masters’ plea or demand, on the astute grounds of refusing to be fooled twice!
We must posthumously commend Role Models like the late Hank Aaron, Marvin Hagler, etc. for rejecting the slough of victimhood and unwarranted, perverse, mulish cynicism. Surely it’s more honorable and commendable to recline in a casket rather than flounder in a well of unjabbed self-pity! 🤔
You’re copying the guardian with headlines that contradict the story. Burn in hell.
A fair point.
Thesis/antithesis to synthesis… or just permanent antithesis ad infinitum. Which is it?
The limitations of Hegelian ‘world spirit’ dialectics. The ‘Either/Or’ of Kierkegaard being more appropriate for life decisions

Thank you for this link. While I found the entire article of value, I treasure these quotes:
“there is no evidence that any ‘germ’ is the cause of any disease and that no disease is sexually transmitted, which inevitably includes syphilis.” AND
“The words of Voltaire remain as true in the early 21st century as they were in the 18th century,”
‘Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.’
“The Psycho Nazis and their demented pedo sock puppet Groper Joe can Go To Hell!
“Still gloriously and proudly un-Cull Juiced“
“Why are they so worried about China when people are literally dying in Ukraine?”
“So little time so many Dog and Pony Shows”
“Sock Puppet Groper says: support the War Racketeers and NATO Nazis Money Launderers, bust the Unions. Call in the scabs. Every prole should have the opportunity for gig slavery.”
Are you a Vax Virgin? I am.
These observations are without doubt appalling, but for whatever reason they now make me laugh…what are we coming to?
Before we lose any sleep over killer robots, the San Francisco police department has assured us they won’t be armed with guns, only bombs.
“I come in peace.”
Just go upstairs that will fox them.
I come in peace – you will leave in pieces.
They’re not robots. The headline is a lie.
I think OG should introduce emojis below comments, especially the LOL emoji.
“Surprise!”
“I Lied”
