This Week in the New Normal #61
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. You will go nowhere and be happy
The age of “cheap flights” is over, Bloomberg reported this week. They go on to say that the cost of flying to Europe from the UK has already increased by over 30%, and that’s not just a temporary bounce thanks to the “pandemic”.
Tellingly, the article does not in any way consider this a bad thing – indeed, it goes out of its way to celebrate the passing of the age of “absurdly cheap” air travel.
This is all due to climate change, apparently, since airlines have to “decarbonise” they are being “forced” to increase their prices. Under European rules, airlines have to pay for their carbon emissions, and the price per unit is set to increase a lot over the next couple of years. Meaning air travel in Europe – and potentially the rest of the world – is going to keep getting more and more expensive.
This is all part of the Great Reset, clearly. The thinking behind lockdowns, and the Covid narrative in general, was about making our world smaller – physically AND conceptually – boxing people in and keeping them separate. Lowering people’s expectations of freedom and standard of living, whilst at the same time telling them it’s all for the greater good.
Oddly, the cost of flying in the US is also increasing rapidly, but for (allegedly) totally different reasons. It’s weird how much that happens recently.
2. New York’s Mayor declares war on meat and dairy
NYC Mayor Ernie Adams gave a speech this week signalling intent to crack down on the city’s food-related carbon emissions, specifically highlighting meat and diary:
“Food is the third-biggest source of cities’ emissions right after buildings and transportation. But all food is not created equal. The vast majority of food that is contributing to our emission crises lies in meat and dairy products,”
We’re all familiar with this campaign at this point, there’s no need for me to point out the fact meat and dairy are no worse for the planet than any other food production, or how much energy is going into convincing people to eat bugs.
BONUS: Creepy propaganda of the week
Presented without comment, is the USAID Sesame Street-style puppet show designed to indoctrinate Iraqi children encourage Iraqi children to get along…
Great to hear from Basma & Jad about the new friends they’re making in Iraq through Ahlan Simsim—a @USAID & @SesameWorkshop early learning activity that promotes inclusion, respect, and understanding by showing children from all different backgrounds coming together. pic.twitter.com/BtFfDH6So9

No, today isn’t Shakespeare’s birthday
The “good news” this week is replaced with a tiny history lesson. April 23rd is St George’s day, and is also said to be William Shakespeare’s birthday. It’s not, or at least nobody knows if it is or not.
According to parish records the man born William Shakspere in Stratford in 1564 was baptised on April 26th, so somewhere along the line they just sort of guessed he was born a few days earlier…and purely accidentally placed England’s greatest writer’s birthday on our patron Saint’s Day.
Of course, the questions regarding Shakespeare’s identity go deeper than just his birthday, here I’m referring to the “authorship question”, the theory which suggests the wool merchant/actor from Stratford was not the same man/men/person who wrote the plays.
I won’t get into it all here, but there’s a wealth of evidence that makes the question at least debatable, and either way it’s a fascinating subject.
In fact, this week’s “good news” takes the form of a viewing recommendation for a Sunday afternoon.
If you’re in the mood for a documentary, there is Last Will and Testament (2012). A very interesting presentation of all the evidence, alongside testimony from the famous faces who doubt the “official story”.
It’s very much a program of two halves, with the first (much stronger) half presenting the evidence against William Shakspere, and the second half falling into speculation. It’s much stronger to simply ask the question rather than force the answer, but it’s still a great watch.
For a fictional take on the same subject, there is Roland Emmerich’s Anonymous (2015), a fictionalised history of the subject which supposes that Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford was the real hidden author. It’s ahistorical, but well made and well acted, and a lot of fun.
Enjoy your Sunday viewing.

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention Macdonald’s first entirely automated restaurant or the UK’s “national emergency alert” test.
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.

If we are being studied, let us show we are moral and critical in thinking.
Algorithm definition: A finite set of unambiguous instructions that, given some set of initial conditions, can be performed in a prescribed sequence to achieve a certain goal and that has a recognisable set of end conditions.
Human communication is not definable by this kind of algorithm. It will never matter how complex you make this algorithm – it is beyond chess, and in my belief is spiritual also.
No group of people or computer AI will take this away. But if people merge with AI that is different. There seems to be a move towards this.
2% of people now wanting a smart phone-like chip etc. = 10% down the the line. It’s happening very fast – my computer science undergrad thinks it’ll be 50 years.
Most people here won’t live to see it while they still have societal power.
I thought a lot of things yesterday.
Wait I’m confused about the Sesame Street story. I thought they just killed Iraqi kids, I had no idea they were torturing them too, disgusting.

“West scrambles as Putin reveals his energy war trump card
Kremlin has spread its tentacles through the US and Europe – and countries are struggling to fight back”
-Telegraph
Scene set for “economic warfare” which will provide endless excuses for diminishing supplies and increasing impoverishment…. for the masses of course.
price increases for the “environment”, a senseless provoked wars, food scarcity etc all working towards the great reset
And how about the folks that put us through all this , will they be eating bugs travel less, no! these are the only parties that will HUGELY benefit from all this chaos, and we just let them do it
UNBELIEVABLE
TRANSGENDERISM LINKED TO AUTISM SPECTRUM
Warrier et al, published a detailed analysis (sample size 641,860) with gender dysphoria treated with transgender hormonal/surgical therapy. The results are striking. Compared to normal reference groups, transgender individuals had up to a 12-fold increased risk of autism.
“In conclusion, our study demonstrates that transgender and gender-diverse individuals have elevated rates of autism diagnosis, related neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, and autistic traits compared to cisgender (normal) individuals.”
— Peter McCullough
They’ve already linked autism to childhood vaccines. Autism is more prevalent in boys than girls – and especially African American boys.
So I have to wonder if this out-of-nowhere link of autism to transgenderism might be a distraction to focus attention away from the very clear and obvious vaccine connection?
Howard, Fever has many causes. Maybe autism does too. Also I wonder if the autism doesn’t PRECEDE the “gender dysphoria:” Article doesn’t say.
If you want to see how far “new normal” has veered off course regarding biology, watch this:
FEMINISM TO TRANS AND BEYOND
Well, bois and gails, the goobalists done skrew the voice.
Do we remain silent, afraid of opinion, or offer up our voice?
The firing of Tucker Carlson is a dark day for the media… I don’t care who you think owns it – whoever owns the media has stuffed a gag in the mouth or whatever object they favour in their clearly perverted view of citizenship and culture.
They are not normal by the standards of any society upon which they encroach.
This is a perversion, quite close to abortion – it is the ripping out of the human, which some apparently regard as a sacrament. It is close to transhuman – the castration of youth. It is the inversion of our culture by a people who do not share it.
I appreciate this is not the Off-G official tone, but “Comment Is Free,” as its architect, my dear friend, the late Georgina Henry, would have said.
FWIW, I try to always adopt a “wait and see” attitude toward such things – to see if they’re on the level.
Another such firing was Keith Olberman’s from MSNBC. I was angry because I liked watching his show. And subsequent events showed that his firing was NOT a ploy to increase his popularity.
But the gold standard of news firings, of course, remains Phil Donahue’s from MSNBC. Even at the time no “wait and see” was needed – everybody knew it was for real and precisely because of his take on 911.
treating “celebrities” as gods is an old illness. this man admitted lying. under oath. friar tuck is a liar and a con artist. just because he is your con artist means nothing.
Maybe some satanists regard abortion as “a sacrament”.
This kind of language twisting hyperbole is demonic.
Women seem to think of abortion as their personal health care decision, ie it’s nobodies biz and especially nobody with personal religious, my way or the highway, misogynistic beliefs.
I really don’t care about the cost of flights. I simply cannot bear the TSA molestation so I won’t fly regardless.
My gratitude to OffG for highlighting these important issues. However I just cannot understand links to Tw/Shitter, they are impossible to follow and so full of total *******.
Or maybe I’m just too old…
It is difficult to accept quick-anti-social-media as a valid reference.
It amazes me that so many commenters on this site, who tend to see a Eugenicist behind every tree, are so quick to accept that a common nobody like this Will character could not possibly have written all the plays attributed to him.
As Yul Brynner’s King of Siam said “Is a puzzlement!”
Excellent!
That was my opinion for years and it has merit. However, when you get deep into the weeds on the subject there is much to support the idea that ‘Shakespeare’ may have been somebody else.
Yes, you’re so right. All the data very strongly supports the claim that Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550-1604) wrote the so-called ‘Shakespeare’ works.
I own and have read more than 18 books on this subject, and literally NOTHING supports the claim that ‘Shaksper of Stratford’ was the author.
Did you hear the one about Will’s sister?
Howard, thanks for the Yul Brynner reference. It took me quite back to the evening I saw him in the role on Broadway. Was loverly.
Rupert Murdoch fires Tucker Carlson a week after the globalist caved to Dominion.
Can you count – how many tablets of stone do you need?
The odd thing is that Fox called Arizona for Biden in Nov 2020 ridiculously early and was effectively part of the same gaslighting operation as Dominion.
Was Fox concerned that the case would highlight its own role in the 2020 election — the Arizona call which caused many Fox viewers to abandon the network? Was $787 million a small price to pay to avoid further damage to the brand… rather than an admission of Dominion’s claims?
So why settle? Did Rupert Murdoch, 92, (check his mama – yes it’s relevant. How did he get his finance from boondock Oz to Fox) – did the old codger simply not want to testify? Murdoch’s preference for the shadow over the light does not relfect well on the news media and now he’s fired the only truth teller in the state corporate media.
Remember that the hackability and vulnerability of Dominion and Smartmatic was a concern to the Democratic Party in 2016. They simply changed their tune in 2020. Dominion/Smartmatic was criticised by the U.S. State Department when it accused the late Hugo Chavez of manipulating elections in Venezuela, where the Smartmatic system was created.
Ultimately, Murdoch is a globalist and he has served the globalist cause by appearing to validate Dominion. He has done what he needed to do to confirm the globalist narrative. He folded, in order to justify Dominion’s claim. And now he’s bought the stones on his grave.
https://moneycircus.substack.com/p/3-crises-kennedy-and-americas-struggle
all the news on “tv” is fake brought to you by whatever corporations advertise. ya’ll got some screws missing to think fox fake news is any different.
And once again I stumble on something I suspect must surely be a piss take. From the Graud:
Note “too sensitive and (sic) issue to address without care and precision”. Read: “Don’t you commoners dare thing you can say anything at all about this without turning to the ‘proper moral guardians’ who will speak for you!”
And “The Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity”? Oh fuck off!
https://lennyhenry.net/sir-lenny-henry-centre-for-media-diversity/
Lenny said: “This has been a long time under wraps but at last we’re out. I’m so chuffed to be a part of Birmingham City University’s efforts to facilitate diversity research.”
“Diversity” is a con. There is no diversity. Not because there are no ethnic groups but because they don’t matter – except in a purely cosmetic way i.e. each media representation of an ethnic group is a romanticised stereotypical construct that encourages imitation in a purely trivial way i.e. as if the ethnic traits amount to a fashion, a trendy image. So e.g. you can adopt the characteristics of Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, African, Indonesian, Italian etc. culture but, in the life you lead, you are in the same boat as others i.e. trying to stay afloat in a world in which you and your livelihood are constantly under attack.
Because the fundamental reality is that there are only two groups: the dwindling increasingly bloated super-rich who commandeer the world’s resources and, of course, the world’s media, and the increasingly impoverished masses who were always under attack but are now so under an unprecedentedly steepening curve.
And the “diversity” meme is a tool whereby the first group neutralise the power of the second.
It’s hard to know exactly how the concept of ethnicity works nowadays. Three or four generations into the new national identity, it’s difficult to understand how diversity fits in.
But it was very real back when so many immigrants (i.e., other than “illegal aliens,” a disgusting misnomer if ever there was one) clustered in urban areas.
My father’s people settled in the Akron, Ohio area (Yuk!) from Central Europe (Croatia, Austria). I can recall visiting my grandparents’ relatives, who did not speak English in their homes. Clearly, they still considered themselves to be Croatian (or whatever: my grandmother spoke several languages).
With all due respect, I assume you’re Scottish; and that Scotland has not had the influx of foreigners that the US has. So you might be underestimating the power of ethnicity.
The lesson from Diane Abbott is – who wields the raw power?
Since being ironic clearly risks misunderstanding then I’ll skip that with reference to this:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65374104
So what is Diane Abbott guilty of? See here:
So what is there to be offended about in that? Well – see if you can guess? And more to the point, see if you can guess who it was that got offended? Yes indeed, ever since Ken Livingston was made to dance the dance of humiliation, degradation, mortification – all to no effect of course – the Labour Party has been on the run and psychotically sensitive to the merest nudge of even commenting on … you-know-who. So our Sir Keir continues with his rabbit-caught-in-the-headlight face (or is that gonads-caught-in-the-vice?) and the pathetic remnants of what was once (in however slight a way) a peoples’ party are now completely crushed under the bellowing moral virtue-signalling vacuities of this new self-appointed priesthood.
The underlying irony here (and it’s not my irony) is that this vicious castration of Labour serves a good cause: it strips all of mainstream politics of the last vestige of “representation”. These clowns and cowards and hacks and charlatans do not represent me or you or anyone at all other than that class of vampiric parasites above – and these are parasites that have nothing to do with any specific ethnic group and most certainly not you-know-who.
I thought about the Diane Abbott alleged guilt yesterday – and concluded:
She had no need to reference the clear red flag to a bull ethnicity to make her point
Many teenagers today would agree with her point due to a lot of thinking about history/and or schooling that will likely produce those critical thoughts
We have no clear word in the English language in common parlance to differentiate between racism with an acknowledged and proved power differential endemic in the society, and on the other hand racism with that element absent.
Some of the problem is semantic.
Why did she red flag herself? She must have known the consequences.

“Teenagers could be at risk of rare diseases after a drop-off in vaccinations during the Covid pandemic, UK health officials are warning.”
Jag uptake against tetanus, diphtheria, polio and meningitis is down. Which suggest that whatever crap they are putting in the “covid vaccines” is now going into the old favourites too.
One forever trustable lab coat said, “These vaccines offer the best protection as young people start their journey into adulthood …” Or not – if they’re on medically recommended puberty blockers.
“Last week the UN agency Unicef said there were worrying signs that confidence in life-saving childhood vaccines was slipping worldwide, partly because of vaccine hesitancy and disinformation.”
Ah the roll call of magic noises to guarantee the proper twitching in the masses: “vaccine hesitancy”, “disinformation”, “surge”, “anti-Semitic”, “hate”, etc.
Please note that we the anti-Ovids, or whatever the name was, are causing millions of small children’s death, disorder and disability, that could easily have been prevented and saved if we have been duly informed about “reality”.
I would guess that there are lots of people like me and my wife who are expecting a new baby in August and who have resolved to keep her completely unvaccinated because we’ve done some research into the vaccine industry and have concluded that it’s in our unborn Daughter’s best interests to avoid it altogether. My son from a previous relationship will not be having any morer “vaccines” either. Thankfully his mother is on the same page as me over this one. The covid scam has certainly woken a good deal of people up.
very wise of you. i am ‘fortunate’ enough to have a mum who eventually became a homeopath because of my youngest sister being ill from a baby (not badly ill but enough to know there was something wrong ie she did not have much energy for running around the playground like other children and always colds snotty nose etc)) to ten years old when a friend recommend that my mum take my sister to a homeopath (after trying various specialists that did not have a clue why she was ill) he diagnosed it was vaccine damage as a baby. he treated her for vaccine damage. her teachers were amazed, as a few weeks later she was running about like the others. none of us in my immediate blood family are jabbed i am pleased to say or subscribe to the state i.m. cult
Inconsequential.,polices are set by World Central Bank. Home front digital curricula by feminist practising transitionals. imo
Please elucidate Clive.
Perhaps you could ‘flesh out’ how the curricula is being practised in terms of ‘transitionals’ as opposed to progressive radical feminism?
Does it have to be digital in nature and if so how does it relate more to the ‘home front’ as opposed to the public private space. Is there an analogue home front?
Is there a possibility that the home front and the public / private sphere can overlap through the curricula digitising into forming a single homogenised feminist space?
Well who would have thought? Toilet roll scarcity fear as EU cuts back on supplies over concerns of “deforestation”. They couldn’t be more obvious could they? That old early covid psy-op re-introduced.
If they were concerned about “deforestation,” they would demand the military stop spraying the skies with toxic filth that kills trees wholesale (by depleting the ozone layer and by killing soil nutrients and by coating the trees with flammable material).
At the rate they’re spraying, soon there won’t be enough trees to make toilet paper and funny money. So we’ll have to go digital currency and it’s back to corn cobs (two red then a white to see if you need another red – as the old timers say).
Not to mention to on-going felling of timber. The timber industry is booming in australia – we just lost the last koala habitat in my local area due to widening of unnecessary roads.
Perhaps allowing cheap flights will deter liberal funding of those fuel saving military aircraft. You know. The one’s that burn cheaper aviation fuel, and fly all over Hell 24/7.. > Aviation fuel – Wikipedia
Bad news from Russia: Sber Bank and Ministry of Education about to globalise and “transform” Russia’s traditional schools and universities to global liberalism.

Who can say no when the Bankster is rattling with the money bag?

The whole Kit Marlowe debate all over again. Read most the books and the only definite is the great Bard was not above plagiarism, a scene or three from playwrights like Marlowe and others. The Romeo and Juliet fight (sword & dagger) fight between Mercutio and Tybalt is one. Apparently Shakespeare was a witness to a fight where Marlowe was involved and used the scene pretty much as it happened.
I’m not fussed who wrote all those plays and until there is proof that some or other bloke did, Shakespeare is the man. Shakespeare never left Briton, so how did he write so vividly about place abroad, is one of the conspiracy theories. But before i first traveled from South Africa, I had read so much about certain places that I knew the street names of many places I had never visited and in my cups could convince many that I’d been there. I have a very (upper British accent) so I could hide the fact that I was born in Bloemfontein.
Had lots of fun.
‘Bloke’?, back in the GLC 80’s I was persuaded William Shakespeare was a feminist collective.
It took just a few short years to go from the war on terror… to the war on dinner.
new normal in ausralia:
amid the worst ever rental crisis in the country, house owners can issue no-grounds (no-reason) eviction notices to tenants. this way they can make more money because the increase in rent for a new tenant is usually much larger than a rent increase to an existing tenant!
“in Queensland, no-grounds evictions were the most common form of eviction,”
The working class, screwed again.
Sorry to hear, even though you’re coming up on at least three years too late I’am afraid. Where I’am privately living in the US a couple has been here for 13 years. He just died and she’s left to live with her brothers.
Would add that the release of AI tools is also a huge development. Pandora’s box is emptying & any using them are feeding into their own planned obsolescence.
If any are inclined watch Truthstream Media’s latest video. They’ve been on these & other social engineering developments for a long long time now.
Some people even respond to purely abusive bots, even on this site.
We now get to meet a new facet of Democracy in America. Per the Washington Post, the DNC has announced that, at least for now, “the national Democratic Party has said it will support Biden’s reelection, and it has no plans to sponsor primary debates.” Not that it will make much, if any, difference. But it should be obvious that there’s a principle that’s being violated here: Democratic party voters will have no choice as to who represents them in the upcoming presidential election.
https://archive.is/sDQCo
The article ends with this ominous and disturbing statement: “… voters should return him to the White House to ‘finish the job.’”
And so it goes.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” – Frank Zappa

The Democratic party voters couldnt care less about who is in charge as long as they get their blood money for all their fake do-goodery.

ON the air fare question i have a question. How much government subsidy goes into air fare and airline companies and how do we feel about that? Personally, i’d like to see airlines run like any other business and if it costs 8 million dollars to fly across the world then that should be the cost. If it costs 10 cents then that should be the cost. Why do governments need to be in the middle of air travel and airlines and every other G.D. Thing? Educate me but that is my question regarding airline companies and airfare.
they are in the middle of everything or have you not noticed!!
I have noticed and my question is why?
erm the usual i would say money ie power ie control, psychopathy etc etc etc, because they can and that is their m.o., pretty obvious really
I agree. I wish things were different though.
They bought out travel agents in our home towns, your right. backpeddle right back to City investment districts bingo. Whos to blame..no-one. Business, nope. business partnerships well, You invested in it..Where from..everywhere. And so it begins..December 1968.
The reason air flights have been offered so cheap is that they are being paid by the governments (our money) to carry and deliver the chemtrails and this is why certain airlines had very restrictive luggage tariffs due to the lack of hold space. Its not rocket science as no commercial airline could survive charging 30 quid to get to Spain etc. If I knew how to upload some photos of symbolism in chemtrail patterns taken over Cornwall last week I would but am a complete numpty with IT stuff.
Is it not strange how peeps deny what they can see.
Gordon McRae, A days pay for a days work? Those days went some time ago for many of us. Where the money comes from keeps changing, I believe bands used to do gigs to sell albums, now they make CDs and do spotify to pack out gigs. Merchandise, youtubing an activity, teaching, can all be the money earning aspect of a free masterpeice craft/artwork.
Right well maybe i am trying to be a simpleton. It’s probably a question of priorities or of what is actually important. Apparently airlines were important…. I guess in case we needed to drop bombs on the bad guys. In the new world technology and biotech are the new battleground and so we are all required to pay for all those things. It would be nice if we weren’t in a constant state of war and crises. Anyway…. Maybe it was a naive question but i think we need to get back to basics in how we view the world. Reducing the size of govt. would be a good starting place.
They dropped Ocean Liners ’68 or didnt you notice the Puddles Mister Grasshopper.
Now you clowns wear the life Preserver on your heads, your idiots,. piss off.
It looks like an AI program has responded to me.
Educators in all Florida public schools for all grade levels will now be banned from teaching students about gender identity and sexual orientation in a sweeping move announced by Ron DeSantis’s board.
So it’s not all bad news. Just wish DeSantis wold stay there in Florida where he can do some good.
Time to wake up, politicians are all part of the game
But how much could DeSantis possibly do for his Zionist backers as a Florida governor? They want him in DC.
This is exactly why fake issues like gender identity exist: so politicians can rack up points either promoting or criticizing such meaningless issues, depending on their constituency.
Same can be said for the meat and dairy issue. It allows politicians to take a bold stand either for or against.
All designed to give the illusion of choice in politics.
When things like what we call our sex organs and how much our cows fart become front and center, you know TPTB are starting to get a bit worried that too many people are catching on to them.
It makes me worry about those things too – I would really like to know for example about cows and methane – but there isn’t any source in media. I might as well talk to the…
We seem to be in the calm before the storm. What will come next?
CK Maybe “the Russians” will attack the US or UK power grid– supposedly after a provocation like the use of depleted uranium munitions. Since the availability of water is linked to it the
casualties. . . .
The Russian are absolutely and completely impotenced to anything other than pulling their pants down and being equal partners.
Due to speculators, usurers and the oligarchy, economic collapse will not be slow.
In ICT, the vapid advice from cyber-security authorities suggest that they have no solution; the battle is lost. AI will only speed up the mayhem.
Or the newest generation of AI will be programmed to put out the most plausible whitewashing excuse possible – modelled upon the output of the greatest of all geniuses and designed to conceal the most egregious act of deliberate wickedness in mankind’s history – and everybody will believe it…
Alien invasion is already underway and living it up in a hotel near you!
We cant do anything about it other than sit on our thumb with open mouth and hope something will show up.
Sharpen your pitchforks and lets get ready to rumble. Detestable though they are you gotta respect the French as they do get off their arses, if only the hard of learning would wake up here.
Heads up – I saw an alien space ship – and they were far in advance tech wise. Perhaps we are currently a petri dish? This was circa 2016. But what if aliens are just us returned from other planets after eons? Now that would be frightening!
Part joke part truth comment – algorithms: go figure as they say in the beloved U S of A.
It doesn’t much matter what comes next.
Whenever a major tyrant feels threatened by what ought to be his fellow citizens, something will be dragged out of the Hammer Horror archives to distract us from whatever might be unsettling the poor thing.
Economic collapse will most definitely NOT come next – because it’s already happening!
Vaccine injuries become the dominant theme of German reporting on the mRNA jabs, as the Covid vaccinations face unacknowledged yet ever wider cultural and social repudiation
The number of unflattering press stories has been growing since the bivalents flopped last Fall.
https://www.eugyppius.com/p/vaccine-injuries-become-the-dominant?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=email
It looks like Lauterbach is in big trouble…
Lauterbach seems to be a classic wretched germaphobe, à la Howard Hughes.
Toward the end of his life, Hughes reportedly preferred to lay naked in bed in darkened hotel rooms converted to the equivalent of hospital operating theaters, i.e. what he considered a sterile, “germ-free” zone. He allegedly wore tissue boxes on his feet to protect them. And he burned his clothing if someone near him became ill.
I hope Hughes didn’t burn the chambermaids too, but history is silent on this detail. Anyway, I can easily imagine the haunted-looking Lauterbach doing the same on a lesser budget, mutatis mutandis— and striving to implement these health-preserving protocols into German law and regulation.
The mandate crazed mayor of Montreal had a stroke. What goes around comes around.
I’m sure it wasn’t the vaccine because it’s never the vaccine LOL.
For the record, former mayor, (2013-2017), and I don’t mean deceased — but, with any luck…
Valerie Plante is the current mayor, since 2017, unfortunately not having a stroke or other potentially fatal condition.
Thanks for the correction.
Another tragic death caused by the still-mysterious NTDWTV* Syndrome.
* NTDWTV = Nothing to Do With the Vaccine
Complete fake news. Wishful thinking. He was never mayor, not even involved and not even dead. Bad joke.
Some might say, couldn’t have happened to a better kont. Not ‘I’ but some …
Excellent speech from David Clews of Unity News Network about the war crimes and evil of the depraved and morally bankrupt state of the USA. Filmed a the US Embassy so takes some guts to do this.
NOT OUR WAR – DAVID CLEWS – FULL SPEECH AT US EMBASSY (bitchute.com)
That’s a must listen. Thanks for posting. NATO should’ve been dismantled after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 90’s.
Noble Lies and Perpetual War: Leo Strauss, the Neocons, and Iraq
“The neo-conservative vision is commonly taken to be about spreading democracy and liberal values globally. And when Strauss is mentioned in the press, he is typically described as a great defender of liberal democracy against totalitarian tyranny. Youve written, however, that Strauss had a profound antipathy to both liberalism and democracy.
The idea that Strauss was a great defender of liberal democracy is laughable. I suppose that Strausss disciples consider it a noble lie. Yet many in the media have been gullible enough to believe it.”
Great speech but no mention of the convid nightmare.
In the film PIMPERNEL SMITH (1941), Leslie Howard tells a Nazi that he should know more about Shakespeare and then gives him a biography of the Earl of Oxford to read. Howard was originally Hungarian (real name: Steiner) and looks very like he was an intelligence asset.
Oxford’s life certainly seems to follow parts of both HAMLET and the sonnets. I don’t hold with him being the sole author though – the works are more likely to have come from an invisible college made up of a team of writers. Ditto the songs attributed to Lennon-McCartney – “the one and only Billy Shears” looks like a nod in that direction. The official story of ‘Rubber Soul’, for example, is wildly implausible becuase of the simple lack of time they had to write the songs.
“Shakespeare” was a prolific author but left not a single manuscript, diary nor letter in his handwriting. Diana Price’s book has shown that this is unique among Elizabethan writers and can’t just be dismissed as “it was a long time ago”. Socialists have been enlisted as “useful idiots” to prop up the Shakespeare narrative by claiming authorship doubters are mere snobs – but Marlowe came from a humble background and nobody questions his authorship. It isn’t impossible some genius auto-didactic could have taught himself all the knowledge of law, medicine, plants, the military, foreign countries and so on that’s in Shakespeare’s plays but it’s incredible that he could have done this without leaving any trace of how.
Shakespeare is likely just a name.
What sort of “trace” would you expect there to be if someone was not formally trained in one of the few elitist educational facilities?
We have become so inured of the absurd books called “biographies” and now the even more absurd “auto biographies” that we cannot even conceive of someone of genius not leaving a paper trail.
Sorry for a second reply, but I forgot to say that Christopher Marlowe had nowhere near the literary works attributed to him that Shakespeare did. So it really doesn’t disprove anything regarding Shakespeare’s humble background.
“NYC Mayor Ernie Adams…”
Is actually ERIC Adams.
I like the idea of a glove makers son writing all that stuff, not some hoighty toit. However the “glove maker” does suggest the father of the glove that covers the hand that writ the screed. It’s a world of deceit, ain’t it.
Tree of Liberty is eagerly awaiting a new set of tyrants..
How about McDonald’s open up a restaurant with no “food”.
I’d actually go to that.
I didn’t think they served food now
never did
Be careful what you wish for … the burgers and portions have been visibly shrinking in size. So, give it time …;-)
Remember several years ago when Cadbury came out and said the price goes up and the grams go down. Less chocolate for more money. You will eat the overpriced shrunken chocolate.
Ah yes Cadburys – their prospective new owners assured parliament that production would continue in the U.K. if they acquired the business and so upon acquiring the business moved production into Europe. Naturally no parliamentarians challenged the lies as hey that’s big business at work.
However I, for one, resolved that none of their products would be purchased by me and that resolution has been adhered to.
Orig.Licorice all-sorts, nope.
horrible, God knows what they put in them. Overpriced crap, in the US I actually threw the bag out. UK Newkie Brown nope brewed in NH it’s terrible.
They even slimmed down their name by getting rid of the “s”.

This is routine marketing practice – not just in quantity. Most brands hope you don’t notice the change. Every trusted product gets taken over and subverted.
Even the Fuji water bottle used to have a pretty pink flower with green leaves. Now it’s just the flower. They will cut any and every cost.
Yes, I lived in a country where you’d find products with packagings identical to those of very expensive grated cheese, only the packaging says just “grated”.
You wouldn’t know what you’re putting on your pizza…
Don’t forget Hershey’s. (Okay, Hershey’s may not be particularly unforgettable.)
But they’ve been trying for at least a decade to get the US Dept of Ag to let them substitute other things for chocolate – and still call it “chocolate.”. I don’t know if they finally succeeded.
It’s Hershey, the old Cadbury went yonks ago.
Ah, “shrinkflation”: the sharp practice of paying as much or more for a lesser quantity and/or quality of merchandise 😡:
This is really one of the biggest traumas in my life when they stole these 5 chips from my bag.
I loved Dorites and still do, but this manoeuvre made me lose all confidence to mankind. So thats how cruel the world is.
I cant love anyone more or think positive of any of my fellowman after that.
A more effective tactic is to keep the size of the packaging, put in less of the product and fill-up with air. It’s been done.
Even more expensive if its organic, sustainable air!
How about a nice McBug sandwich instead?
Classic! Me too.
McDonald’s are now trialing a no-staff, completely automated restaurant. No problems with unions I guess.
May be problems with the onions though!!
Why? Will onions make the robots cry?

That an infinite number of monkeys pounding infinite keyboards could have written the plays and sonnets of “Shakespeare” is no more preposterous a proposition than that the semi-literate Guiliemus Shak-sper of Stratford could have done so.
Re McDonald’s fully automated resaurant- see X-Files final series episode 7. Fully auto Japanese, also a fully auto taxi a la Uber w/o driver.
Hilarious but a warning of things to come or here now!
The problem is CIA, DHS, FBI overshoot.
They sought to influence the Democratic Party and ended up inseminating its DNA.
“All the three-letter agencies are trying to do is to protect you from bad thoughts. The only reason you could object is if you are a kooky conspiracy theorist.” Protecting you from speech that harms you or democracy.
“It’s not a conspiracy theory when you can hold it in your hand,” says Glenn Greenwald.
Then you get impregnated.

Phone on, and no message? A damp squib?
Phone off – of course. It’s normal state. The lie that it would not work until you reply? No message waiting, several hours later, when the phone was powered up. Relieved to be off the grid.
The latest cutting edge research from the labs of “The Science” have established that covid’s awesome destructive power extends to money and even the smallest dispersion of corona-pseudopods can cause massive rises in prices everywhere. Naturally all governments are trying to keep the prices down but you can’t argue with the inevitable biological magnification of dosh. This of course also combines with climate corpuscles to dilate the costs.
Meat and dairy products are out because of …. “emissions”. Presumably these products emit too much. Or the painfully complicated process of producing them causes massive emissions. How the farming industry managed to last for countless centuries without collapsing the world’s environment is a total mystery. But I’m sure “The Science” is on to it.
Puppet shows aimed at the benighted Iraqis are clearly being voiced by stoned terrorised narrators whose voices get higher and higher probably because whoever’s voice is lowest gets shot right after the show.
And if a new docu on “The Bard” is veering more towards DISproving the common assumption of Shakespeare’s authorship then I can only assume that, in these times of distraction, it’s more profitable to throw another sacred cow under the bus than the more usual practice of keeping up tradition.
And in other news, it seems that the scientifically proven link between all forms of Left Wing thought and anti-Semitism has once again been verified when Diane Abbot started to speak wiss zee eefil Tcherman acksent, doing goose steps and, though she did actually mention other groups, it was clear that the ones she was really “attacking” were the of the Hebrew persuasion. Every decent politician and journalist has expressed profound outrage over how utterly outraged their outrage is!
Right on the culling edge.
People still seems to prefer to use “the science says” instead of “scientists say”…I suppose such
is because scientists are human, and fallible (unlike The Pope); whereas the reification, “the science”, has had Authority projected onto it that is then reflected back making “The Science”as being Godlike ?
‘proven link between all forms of Left Wing thought and anti-Semitism has once again been verified’ – interesting to see you repeating that trope here George.
At least I suppose we get to see where you stand on free speech as well as shoring up the zio lobby narrative …
What postures as “the Left” today is astroturf left. That’s been evident ever since Clinton’s Third Way Dems took over.
Ever heard of irony? How ironic considering that my entire post was clearly a parody.
Irony is normally found to draw the opposite inference from that what is stated providing humour where it does so.
Stating that meat and dairy reductions are because of ’emissions’ is exactly what is happening.
As is the deconstruction of the Shakespeare narrative.
Arguably so is the line I drew attention to because that trope is very much a right wing talking point currently doing the rounds on the Daily Mail.
So while some may have been ‘ironic’ at least half could have a case made that its ‘factually accurate’.
And from Howard’s response below apparently I’m not the only struggling to see ‘the humour’…?
Really? So some of the shit isn’t shit? And some of it is shit? Well who would have thought? Since “emissions” is presumably shit that is not shit then I assume you disagree with this?:
Frankly the deconstruction of the Shakespeare narrative is only “meaningful” in the sense that the powers clearly think they no longer need that prop irrespective of its epistemological status.
I presume the “right wing” trope is the Diane Abbott thing? Well Jesus fucking Christ, what I wrote was so steeped in irony that I now suspect you are being deliberately obtuse.
Well I clearly must step back and respect the “factually accurate” stuff (love the scare quotes!) since that is the shit that isn’t really shit – but really is anyway!
Sure, George.
I presume you are being ironic when you write “naturally all nations are trying to keep the prices down….” Because, of course, all evidence suggests the opposite – at least if by “nations” you mean the so-called “elites” who set all policies in motion.
I may be the last Shakespeare defender on the planet; but I REFUSE to accept the clear implication of the “he couldn’t possibly have been the author”! that genius ONLY occurs among the “elites.”
The “elites?” Those with in-born traits toward abominable behavior and violence against all other living things? They’re the ONLY geniuses? So it’s ONLY to them we must look for anything brilliant?
NEVER will I accept that rubbish!!!!!
You presume correctly. Unlike Seansaighdeor above.
I am a fan of the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship which is by no means restricted to the De Vere tendency. It is a wonderful platform for scholarship with no party line.
For example there is a running debate over the influence of the Cecil/Burghley/Salisbury dynasty and its constraint on 450 years of British politics.
The only truth we hold in common is to refer to the author “known as Shakespeare,” or, more accurately Shaksper.
Anyhoo, the past week has indeed been niet normaal: 2¢.

Most interesting irony this week was that “Earth Day”, founded by the Sierra Club, was all but ignored. Based on good old John Muir’s birthday.
As I recall there was a story (I dismissed it and figured it would fade away as unfounded propaganda) about him being racist recently. Apparently, Muir has been canceled as has Earth Day because of it.
The lengths that the woke will go.
The Sierra club (founded by Muir) cannot get more environmentally sound. You would have thought that Muir was a founding member of the KKK.

by using the word “woke” you are showing the world you can’t think for yourself.
Fools. Shall I define “The Woke” for you? I could have said leftist, extremist, lunatics but most people today have their own complement of adjectives that their brains automatically substitute when they see Woke. Why would I want to interfere with that thought process. Only The Woke would take issue. I try to interchange the adjectives depending on my mood and my blood alcohol content. There are so many possible adjectives. Fools. Idiots. Anti (whatever). Stupid. Socialists. Fascists. Antifa lovers. Trannies. Fools. I always come back to Fools. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to shake the adjective. Fools.
This one blows my mind. I remember reading the PNAC (Project for a New American Century – Rebuilding America’s Defenses) document and doing a review of the U.S. defense (imperialism) budget from the 90’s up to around 2010. I remember warning people back then, “it’s going to hit a trillion!. We have to stop this!” Now it’s closing in on a trillion (actually more if you count aid to Ukraine and all the black ops) and some want to double it. Wow. Ya, let’s cut social security and double the imperialism budget. Maybe it’s time for another antiwar movement since the last one (2003?) seems to have been flushed down the toilet.

The real author of “Shakespeare’s” works was Edward de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, though there is a significant possibility that some of the minor plays were written by a group of his “collaborators” which appeared to be a guild. The evidence for this is practically a slam dunk. If you are willing to invest 5 US fiats in Kindle and an hour, the late and limited Liam Scheff, nailed it down nicely in chapter 7 of his Official Stories titled “Shake-Speare, not Shakespeare.” De Vere was a favorite of the tyrannical Elizabeth whose love of the chopping block almost rivaled her father, Henry 8th. De Vere was a favorite of Elizabeth until he knocked up one of Elizabeth’s coterie of official virgins and had to flee to Italy to save his skin. His father-in-law was Elizabeth’s chief adviser after which he modeled Polonius in a detailed, mocking tone in Hamlet. Both the butcher and theater horse holder and minor actor, Shakespeare, and deVere died several years prior to the publication of the Complete Works. Beside Shake-Speare, Schiff wrote 10 other great chapters debunking our favorite false flags and other official, entrenched bullshit in a hilariously snarky fashion. Scheff describes Elizabethan England as “It was a seedy, dishonest, and treacherous an age as, well, it’s just like now. But smellier.” One of my 10 favorite, non-fiction books.
Scheff was far from limited. Should have read “late and lamented.”
No chance of Ms Power’s tweet being ironic, I suppose. Unintended humour is the best.
Every airline has been ripping off the customer for a long long time. The engines do not burn half of what the companies tell you. The power comes from the air being compressed and then escaping. There’s a great video on youtube which goes into some detail about it. Go see how you are already being ripped off.
I’m betting that most of samantha’s friends now look like Basma & Jad. Such is life in puppet central.
The author of the works of Shakespeare left his name all the way through the works themselves. There is no way on Earth that a glove makers son had the knowledge of royal courts and the workings of international politics and intrigue.
I’m guessing that the real author and Shakespeare must have met at theatres in London and between them cooked up the ruse to protect the real author, who was a very senior governing figure of the time.
International Finance
England was to be launched as the new imperial power. The embarrassing lack of literature produced by the country had to be addressed by ghostwriters funded by international finance.
I don’t know. But in a period of seven seconds one fantastic name came to mind: Chaucer. Unless he too was a “fake” author? Anyway, England had nothing to be ashamed of in the way of literature.
An author with a good imagination would need no first hand knowledge of “royal courts” in order to construct a fairly accurate picture of them – since the occupants of such courts were/are almost by definition one dimensional.
And court life necessarily consisted/consists of obsequious attempts to gain and keep favor with the monarch(s). The only exception might be the few queens who “get thee to a nunnery.”
As for “international politics and intrigue,” except for one dynasty trying to take what another dynasty had, there was nothing mysterious about geopolitics. England, France, Spain, Holland, Portugal all wanted the same things: resources. Period.
So basically, the works of Shakespeare were not written by this bloke called Shakespeare, who we know next to nothing about, but some other bloke, who called himself Shakespeare, and who we know next to nothing about?
