This Week in the New Normal #70
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. Are they dialing back on the cashless society?
We’ve been covering the evolution of the planned “cashless society” for years, but recently it looks like the plan might be changing.
Public opion has always been, at best, divided on the cashless issue. Just a few days ago there was a protest against the cashless society in Bristol, and a recent petition, “Don’t Kill Cash” got 300,000 signatures in just a few days – but now there are signs of mainstream retreat on this issue too.
Last week the Express quoted Nigel Farage talking about banks limiting cash withdrawals in an attempt to “force” people to go cashless.
The very next day the Mail headlined “Backlash grows over banks’ push to turn Australia into a cashless society”
The reverse is coming from publications on both the left and right.
Last Sunday the Telegraph warned The clock is ticking to a cashless UK.
Then on Monday the Guardian published “Fears UK’s cashless society will leave more than just the vulnerable behind”
Earlier today Sir John Hayes MP gave an interview to his constituency’s local paper outlining all the ways going cashless would be bad.
Now, obviously, we’re not so reflexively contrarian we suddenly think going cashless is a great idea, but there’s questions to be answered here certainly.
Maybe they see conceding the continued use of cash as a fair price to pay (pun very much intended) to maintain the illusion the system works?
2. Former Covid chief takes job with Moderna
In a textbook example of quid pro quo corruption, Jonathan Van-Tam – England’s deputy chief medical officer during the “pandemic” – got a new job this week: Senior medical consultant for the mRNA vaccine manufacturer Moderna.
Van-Tam was a regular on British television during the height of the “Covid” crisis, forever spouting sporting metaphors to appeal to the public, and was also part of the UK’s “vaccine taskforce”. He was awarded a knighthood for his trouble.
Now, after spending three years promoting Covid fear and the need to get vaccinated, he’s got a job with a vaccine company…and everybody seems to be fine with it.
It’s not known exactly how much he’s being paid in his new role, but the smart money is on “a lot”, but since about three years of backpay is included I guess that’s fair enough.
Now, some of you might be wondering about future conflicts of interest. I mean what if JVT might use his government contacts to lobby on Moderna’s behalf? Or use privileged information to benefit his new employer?
But there’s nothing to worry about, according to the Financial Times:
The government has stipulated that, as part of his role at Moderna, Van-Tam is not allowed to lobby the Department of Health and Social Care or its executive agencies and is not allowed to have any involvement in bids relating to the health ministry or its executive agencies until March 2024, nor is he supposed to use privileged government information to further business interests.
See, he’s “not allowed to” and “not supposed to”. So that’s all fine.
Isn’t that a relief?
3. Movies rigging the box office
In South Korea, anti-corruption police have brought charges of fraud against major cinema chains, alleging that over 300 movies have been subject to “box office rigging” in the last 5 years alone.
“Box Office rigging” is the practice of claiming more tickets have been sold than actually have been – or studios and cinemas bulk-buying tickets themselves – in order to falsely claim box office success.
As Variety explains:
Exaggerating box office numbers can be a tactic used to make a film appear more successful than it really is. In the short term, the appearance that a film is doing well may increase audience interest in a title and cause exhibitors to program the movie in more theaters – thus turning fake success into real success.
This is interesting to me especially because, although this is South Korea, it’s a practice I’ve long suspected takes place in major Hollywood movies too, for several reasons.
Firstly, there’s the money angle. Variety’s explanation of this is broadly correct, but by talking in purely monetary terms they miss the interesting angle.
When you think about it, it’s a tactic actually more useful for propaganda purposes than advertising. A tool for promoting films that, for various reasons, can’t afford to fail.
A recent example would be the persistent rumours that Disney bought up Captain Marvel tickets when the film released in 2019, for the two-fold reason that the ultra-feminist message could not afford to lose face and that the Marvel franchise couldn’t afford a flop just months before Avengers Endgame came out.
Consider that, despite allegedly making 1.2 billion dollars at the box office, that movie’s main character had her role in Endgame greatly reduced in the final edit, and the planned sequel (now titled “The Marvels”) has been delayed half-a-dozen times. Very odd, considering she was supposed to replace Iron Man as the face of MCU.
That’s just one example.
For all sorts of narrative, political or messaging reasons, there will be films where it is more important they are perceived as successful than they are actually successful.
This all feeds into the inescapable idea that the entertainment industry is not actually a for-profit business any longer, but a marketing arm of the global elites run at a steady loss for propaganda purposes.
…but that’s a longer article for another time.
BONUS: Oops moment of the week
There was an embarrassing moment for Whitehouse Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre this week when she sent a tweet that was meant to be from Joe Biden through her own account…
FAIL: Biden Press Secretary KJP just tweeted a post meant for Joe Biden’s Twitter account. pic.twitter.com/cbUKLTfPZw

Or, possibly, the intern tasked with running all the social media accounts used the wrong one.
Either way, nobody believes Joe Biden mans his own Twitter, of course, the man is barely alive, but it’s still funny when they slip up like that.
It’s not all bad…
Good news this week comes from London, where the newly declared “Ultra-Low Emission Zone” (ULEZ) has been greeted with protests-via-vandalism.
In the four months since the scheme began over 300 of the newly installed surveillance cameras have been either broken or stolen.
Become ungovernable.
Also, this from the Babylon Bee is too funny not to share…

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention Barcelona University making it mandatory to study climate change or the lab-grown meat companies lobbying for funding from the 2023 Farm Bill.
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.

RUSSIAN WAR PLANES LAND IN NIGER TO FORESTALL COLONIALIST INVASION

Good cop arriving-
Found this interview with cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough in one of Dan Bongino’s podcasts. Interesting. He talks about a couple recent studies on myocarditis in young men aged 18 to 24. One in Switzerland and another in Thailand. The gist: 2.5% of the group suffered from myocarditis. Another statement (without foundation as I could tell) was that 90% of myocarditis cases were restricted to this age group. McCullough suggested that 58% of those diagnosed with myocarditis have permanent damage.
Not that long ago, McCullough stated that all of his patients that he tested had enzyme indicators of myocarditis in the blood. I never knew what percent of his patients were tested. Who knows. Even in that context, it is a huge change in his position.
Then he went off on manufacturing inconsistencies suggesting that properly manufactured batches are “safe” while others are not. A red flag in my mind. Which, obviously, suggests that better manufacturing could make all mRNA vaccines “safe”. Or. Did they intentionally vary the amounts of the ingredients in the vaccines as though it was an actual trial? That would be my inclination. Maybe that is why the ingredients were never made available.
Fuck me. Did McCullough express support mRNA technology?
Then he talked about spike proteins. He talked about how the natural enzymes in the human body are unable to break them down which is why they are persisting much longer than anticipated. You would think they would have known that in advance. Miraculously (I say in sarcasm), Dr. McCullough has developed a homeopathic treatment plan to help rid the body of the residual spike proteins which, apparently, vary wildly from one vaccine batch to the next. Plus he claims the same for the spike produced by the virus itself. I am most conflicted by this statement because my understanding of the spike protein is that it is only a short segment taken from the surface of the Covid virus DNA and is manufactured in the human cells as directed by the mRNA in the vaccine. Am I missing something?
What the fuck.
He sort of explained POTS and why so many vaccinated newsroom people were passing out on TV (and elsewhere) due to stress. Without clear support for his explanation he stated that the vaccine causes confusion between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which results in people passing out. Weird. No need to worry. We will figure it out eventually was my takeaway.
As implied, I get the impression that the doctor has turned to the dark side.
He started out as a leading crusader and now it is not adding up.
At all.
With good reason, I don’t trust any of them anymore.
Most disappointing.
Watch the video if you want to know what his supplements are…..
If it looks like a duck. Walks like a duck. It’s a quack.
https://rumble.com/v38hzgv-sunday-special-w-dr.-peter-mccullough-and-christopher-rufo-08202023.html
Yes, you’re missing something. Spike protein is in the VAXX, you know.
Elsewhere in interviews he’s talked about the WEF. And the pharmacological combine..
He tailors his message to his audience, so when he is presenting medical studies he doesn’t stray into motive, but restricts himself to what can be proven– that the lots had poor quality control, some even being macroscopically contaminated w metals, etc.
He was the very first to comment on the military’s being the supervisory had in the whole covid op– even before Sasha Latypova.
His position– like my own– is that there is a virus, but its effects are exaggerated.
All mRNA products into the future are not necessarily harmful. There’ve been a few published hypotheses for how they might be made harmless & a part of medical technology. No one can be “for” (or against) these products until if & when they exist.
Assuming the “spike” is already in the vaccine then why the need to “train” the cells to produce more of it? From the beginning the narrative was about the mRNA entering into and altering the cells to induce them to produce a short segment of DNA (referred to as spike protein) found on the surface of the virus. Something so small that it can find its way into capillaries of every organ in our body where it induces blood clots. What would be the need for the mRNA if the protein needed to initiate an immune response was already in the vaccine?
I totally disagree with your assessment of McCullough. He has been more careful than others as you stated, but when he suggested that the side effects are a reflection of batch problems that was it for me. He is clearly buckling to pressure.
Covid may be real but is it or was it the cause of the “Event”. I still believe it was a normal flu outbreak that was turned into a pandemic through the use of faulty testing. We know the modeling was wrong. Survival rates were the same as a normal flu outbreak. etc. etc. Over 99% were safe with medical intervention and most others were safe with ivermectin. We all know that drill.
Based on variations in the batches, personally, I think this effort to vaccinate everyone in the world was just a trial as was loosely and unintentionally implied by McCullough. The emphasis on making sure everyone knows their batch number is telltale in my mind. Maybe they brought him into the fold to shut him up. Maybe they made him an offer he could not refuse. He has been outspoken for quite a while and suddenly he is showing positivity toward the clot shots?
From the beginning, because of early VAERS data, McCullough was calling for banning the clot shots. Now he is calling for tighter manufacturing standards. That’s quite a change, wouldn’t you say?
It was enough to piss me off.
On a positive note: Dr. Robert Malone is sticking to his guns. He posted this interview recently: https://link.sbstck.com/redirect/83114f8f-e364-45b7-8ca8-bf530e27cf90?j=eyJ1IjoiMWRvejd6In0.RAaYTxXQHFOACThhlSSyTxhLwBzwx6k2XCHtKwUm-co
“McCullough was calling for banning the clot shots. Now he is calling for tighter manufacturing standards. That’s quite a change, wouldn’t you say?”
He has consistently called for their being banned. His talking about ‘hot lots’ is reasonable especially given the cunning of the genocidal perps running the show. They don’t want to kill everyone at once–too obvious. Even for the sheep. He has called the shots a bioweapon and the entire program planned long before most said tbese things.
And he rarely makes factual errors especially not as many as you have chalked up in your couple of paragraphs here.
The other thing that tanked my opinion of McCullough: His supplement coctail to break down the spike proteins (or would you call it spike mRNA and other stuff) in the vaccine. (Were people reacting to the ingredients or were they reacting to the proteins (spike) being manufactured by their own cells?)
Went down the supplement road when my wife was dying of cancer. Still have a bad taste in my mouth from that fiasco. Struck a nerve.
Quacking sound started up in the back of my mind when he went there.
There are rumours of 3 batches. One placebo, second normal, third toxic, to sow maximum confusion.
After seen the statistics of raised death rates I lost faith in this side of the story.
We will probably never get the full story before 20-30 years are gone, as we constantly “will be presented for new realities to study”.
Just like the thalidomide fiasco. It took several decades for the details to emerge. To top that one off, thalidomide was repurposed and, last I read a couple years ago, back in use in South America (Brazil, I believe). What could make anyone think that thalidomide should be repurposed for anything.
“Am I missing something?”
Only what most people are missing: that the Covid-19 Spike carries a badge Made in U$A (U$ Patent App 2016 by Moderna). This GMO piece of RNA is what makes Spike Cov-19 attack Human Bloodvessels so fiercely.
Ah. The confusion clears up a little. Spike RNA makes spike protein. One adjective applied to two separate nouns. Duh. But the basics still apply. The spike manufactured in the cells of the body are so small that they find their way into the capillaries of all the organs of the body where the damage is done. I like to simplify.
I never touched on the other anomaly. McCullough was calling the Covid virus itself a spike protein which really causes more confusion. He was attributing “long Covid” to that spike.
Early on I watched a couple videos linked by Off-Guardian about the immunological confusion in the human body because the the “spike protein” was so small. It does seem like the intent is to muddy the waters to create a distraction.
I firmly believe that so called long Covid symptoms are actually vaccine side effects.
They will never stop lying to protect themselves from being prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
The unvaxxed are their burden of proof and they want us gone.
Dr McCullough does not sell homeopathy products. He sells supplements Nattokinase and Serrapeptase, for example, which break down proteins.
“Research shows serrapeptase possesses significant anti-inflammatory, proteolytic (protein dissolving) and fibrinolytic (fibrin dissolving) properties. It reduces scar tissue, improves tissue healing and supports a healthy respiratory system. Nattokinase has powerful anti-inflammatory and fibrin-degrading activity”

Sadiq Khan’s office tried to discredit and “silence” scientists who found that his ultra-low emissions zone (Ulez) policy had little impact on pollution, The Telegraph can disclose.
Such a conclusion (continued pollution) would be common sense if consultants did not exist. After all, this is a city or region surrounded by regions and even countries where regulations are more lax. Also, who will pay (later) to clean up the “dirtiest” industries or to compensate their employees?
This was quick (and it’s not the only example):

QUOTE: “In the four months since the scheme began over 300 of the newly installed surveillance cameras have been either broken or stolen.”
Yawn… Reading the first line of the linked article, they could not help themselves, 339 damaged cameras reported to the Met. Sigh…Someone please make them stop with this schoolboy, vacuum salesman nonsense. Or perhaps we should encourage them to continue, even the thickest of people are beginning to wake up and switch off this bullshit.
Furthermore, if one wants to participate in something constructive and active checkout the “call out cashless business” FB page. You don’t even have to use FB to view it, I don’t.
However, be warned, if one is going to participate it may cause inconvenience a little. This means one may have to change ones shopping habits, or God forbid pay little more somewhere else. So it’s not for everyone, many will continue to buy their own rope to hang themselves with.
A lot of people here refuse to accept the reality of numerology being used by the occulted morons.
Even though the evidence for it is overwhelming.
Seems odd to me you would discount valid evidence, unless denying it achieved some agenda…..
A lot of people think the jab is “safe and effective”.
Tomorrow on the 23 Aug 2023 at 03:30 pm all the cameras will have been replaced again.
😌
Probably correct but if people did not comply by not paying the charges and not paying the fines and insisting on having their time in court the system would collapse but the spineless hard of learning will just shrug, say what can we do and then ask who is on Strictly this year. We are millions they are a few thousand at most, WTF is wrong with people?

Cashless is rediculous in the size of the UK for everyday people coming going in and out every which way. These crackpots keep dreaming of limiting our socialising and taxing freedom of our supple bodies. Yea, The Stiffs,
Its not cashless that’s the problem. When I lived in the UK back in the 70s and early 80s life was effectively cashless, and it worked very well. It just meant that wages and payments were made directly to and from one’s bank account. No bigge. BUT…..
When people talk about ‘cashless’ today its more in the context of control. I’d like to know what happened to people over the last 40 years that made cash important such that ‘cashless’ is now seen as ‘new and improved’ and viewed by many with suspicion.
It’s not ‘cashless’ per se that is the significant worry – it is the ideas behind CDBC and its control agenda that is the cause for great concern. In Australia, are already seeing reports of banks limiting cash withdrawals and questioning what they are for. Also, one bank in particular, the Commonwealth, is limiting spend on crypto-exchanges to $10,000 per month – no ifs or buts. My money, my choice, even if the choices are idiotic or not wise.
In the 70s and 80s? Okay then mate. You must have had a very different experience of life in the UK to the vast majority of people here then. Half of my work is still paid in cash, in 2023.
Same with me through 60s,70,80s,90s, and now I still insist on cash and use cash for everything.
The tap and go morons are fuelling unemployment which I have tried to explain to the various staff on tills in supermarkets, they will not have a job if it all goes self service. People are so stupid that they think self serve is brilliant but fail to realise that part of what they pay for each item is to pay staff wages, NI, tax etc so why are items not cheaper via the self service route? YOU are doing their job.
Another example why cash is king, if someone wants £100 for an item and I pay £100 in cash he/she/it has got £100. If I pay by card he/she/it actually only gets about £97 due to the bank charging for card use. If everyone else uses their cards in the purchase or sale arising from my initial purchase of putting £100 into the system, at the end of it all the banks have acquired all of that £100. If we all used cash that £100 would still be out there purchasing and profiting for businesses. Its one of the many tools used to fuel inflation as you get less and less for your money and more and more has to be charged to cover costs etc.
When I started work for about 25 years I was paid via the little brown envelope on a Friday after lunch in cash every week ( I have never been in debt and I am just coming up to 70 and have NEVER had a handout). Our money was then stolen for 3 weeks when most places went to monthly pay into your bank account and they made interest on the money you had earned for them. Its part of a slave system and the hard of learning just do not see or understand it.
How many people can honestly say they know where their invisible money has gone when they tap that card??? That money does NOT exist and is not tangible, its called control. The fiction money that we may be allowed for, lets say, a mortgage, does not exist it comes into reality by paying interest on it which you have to earn. Cash is king just ask Charlie boy, you know the one in fancy dress we see on the telly now and again.
“Its not cashless that’s the problem.”
Tell that to Carstens of the BIS who said CBDCs would be a “massive” transformation. That’s in the speech where he said they’d give the banks “total control”.
It’s the three step process with these changes: 1) It’s not happening and only crazy conspiracy theorists think it is 2) Maybe it is happening but it’s no big deal (the current CBDC stage) 3) It is happening and it’s a good thing.
If there was NO prospect of programmability, I would welcome digital with open arms.
Unfortunately, programmability is THE attraction for TBTB.
Prorammability is just a euphemism for fine-tuned pervasive totalitarianism.
The middleman is the difference. The middleman was the one Jesus kicked out of the Temple.
The usury middleman is the one every philosopher and religion have talked against, because usury is a negative destroyer of societies.
With e-money you must through yet another approval gate before your own money is in your own hand.
From Employer and shop owner to and from your hand. Not with middlemen in between.
It would be good if they studied climate change and not the changed climate change. Entertainment has always been propaganda and very strictly controlled especially when they’re pushing the opposition.
CBDC isn’t dead. My understanding is there was always going to be massive resistance to it but we’d be forced to accept it anyway during the next big “crisis”.
Dollar down -17% from 73% to 56% of the world market’s currency exchange over 22 years.
Less than -1% per year. 56% is still overwhelming. Meaning in 2045 we could expect Dollar part of the world market to be 40% after a lot of wars.

X may soon add ID verification for ‘preventing impersonation’
The feature was spotted several months after rampant impersonation derailed the launch of Twitter Blue.X appears to be working on new ID verification features several months after rampant impersonation temporarily derailed the company’s paid verification plans (Bullshit). The platform is now working on an additional verification feature that requires users to upload a copy of their government-issued ID and snap a selfie, according to a screenshot shared by app researcher Nima Owji.
Owji, who often uncovers unreleased features in X, first spotted an “ID verified” badge on Musk’s profile earlier this month. Now, he’s discovered an in-app message detailing how it works, suggesting that it may be getting closer to an official launch. “Verify your account by providing government-issued ID,” it says. “This usually takes about 5 minutes.” It explains that users will need to provide a photo of their ID and a selfie.
It seems X is partnering with a third-party “identity intelligence” company Au10tix on the feature. The fine print notes that information shared for verification will be seen by Au10tix as well as X. X will keep “ID images, including biometric data, for up to 30 days” and will use the information “for the purposes of safety and security, including preventing impersonation.”
An Au10tix representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The company’s website advertises “8-second verification without even partial human involvement” and “first-of-a-kind tech detecting synthetic fraud patterns globally.” The company says it’s previously worked with companies like Google, PayPal and Uber.
X didn’t respond to a request for comment. But the feature suggests the company is looking for new ways to combat impersonation on the platform. Right now, X offers verified status to anyone paying for an X Premium (formerly known as Twitter Blue) subscription.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all connection to the internet required I.D. proof in the near future. The content would become incredibly boring as most internet users are likely to be boosted mask-wearers and covid, c. change believers. Internet censorship may become redundant as no truth would filter through.
Hopefully, those of us who resist the I.D. hoo-ha will interact and organise locally.

Essentially, destroying illegitimate equipment in the interest of natural justice is legitimate.
Agreed, if one is being hit with a big stick, how stupid would one be to not take it off that person and snap it in two. Seems Mt Arnold thinks it would be a crime to act in self defense.
I do think he is on to something with Farage though. This guy is far to much of an influence to not be on the pay role.
Furthermore, Mr Farage seems to think that Tony Blair is a pillar of ethics and seems to believe vaccines are good for us. The guy is simple another distraction looking to become your next guru.
The sooner people wake up to the fact that nobody is coming to save them the better. We all must save ourselves. It’s easier then you think, just unplug from the main stream.
Am I being unnecessarily critical when I point out just how certain OffG (and James Corbett and a host of other pundits) was that going cashless was a done deal that because of the majority’s too easy acceptance of the scamdemic was now inevitable?
And how any who doubted that conclusion were pilloried (though gently if patronizingly)?
The globalists can only railroad the people if the people are on board the train.
I think you’re confusing “going cashless” with “CBDCs”, which unfortunately show no sign of going away. I don’t remember anyone being pilloried. I must’ve missed that.
Also, “going cashless” isn’t necessarily going away. Its just being put on the back burner in terms of mainstream narrative. Intelligence agencies still need cash to carry out their drug deals and pay foreign mercenaries. Government officials still need cash to stuff brown envelopes for their lobbyists. When cash isn’t needed by the powers that shouldn’t be to keep their dirty deeds untraceable then it may go the way of the Dodo.
You can always change the laws on how you pay your pet government officials. Legislators and judges don’t cost that much.
Cashless rolling back?
Nah,
Government are “conceding” a little to make it look like they’re responsive.
That’s why experiments like Ethiopia take place.
Deny people cash and see if they swallow it.
They didn’t !
So, UK decides to allow cash for a bit longer.
BUT….. This will be a transition period.
CBDC will be introduced and then the squeeze on cash will begin in earnest.
As I’ve said before, they’re clever bastards……..
But they’re still bastards.
The local Tesco has now appended a large “card only” section to its self-checkout area. So I reckon the cashless thing is still very definitely on the agenda.
Most of Europe has had “card only” self checkouts for a while.
You have to queue and wait to use a self checkout with cash.
Its a slow push so people think they have made the decision themselves.
The nudge units must be so proud….
Then self checkout bombed with the coin slot defects, went back to card only and fewer cash checkout ladies.
Recently relocated back to UK.
Terrifying that I have accepted DIY tills within FOUR weeks.
And our Waitrose just done it. Even the illiterate shop there in Transition Town South East.
What about your antique items 100 years old. In your flat you’ve bought, desased family members in your homes, single member collections. You will end up selling This system sounds like it will strip you of your personal items you enjoy, scarce rare collectable up to and back from 101 years each and every year forward. Filling their own coffers….first your bodies then your freedoms then your stuff ….by Countries.
Wow !
We all may as well pack up now then, sounds like they having in the bag.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/verifying-your-identity-on-twitter-will-require-taking-a-selfie
Twitter is working on a new way to verify a user’s identity, and the process involves submitting a selfie alongside government-issued ID.
The personal information submitted is handled by AU10TIX, an identity verification company based in Israel. The process requires users to consent to X storing their information for up to 30 days and sharing it with AU10TIX for an identity check to occur.
Fuck me, what will we do? Oh, hang on, I simply will not use Twitter. Now there’s a thought.
Your welcome… For more life changing tips tune into my comments more often.
Where are the articles about the fires in Hawaii, Canada, Tenerife and mass immigration into the UK?
Obsolete. Today in the new reset world we are discussing cashless and oops moments.
But I gave a thumb for heart. I acted.. 🙄
In new normal they discuss nothing of relevance…
BTW Off Guarding done migrant 8 star hotels that was season 2 of covid.
The cashless thing is baked in, this is just the part where it’s ‘ strong opinions’ on each side of ‘democratic debate’ and ultimately it’s cashless by stealth. What after all can anyone do about it.
We should be getting ahead of the gatekeepers who will no doubt be calling for moderation and question whether the move to cashless was conspiracy or old fashioned acceptable incompetence…again
I’ve said it before and I will say it again nobody predicted that the Apocalypse would be so relentlessly boring…but it is.
NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN…
“the man is barely alive”. Pls allow me to criticise this discrimination of elderly.
Whoever we are, elderly, doos, blacks, females, males, children, whites, chinese, we should be taken for our words and actions, and not by discriminating arrogant labels of colour, age, sex, nationality, religion.
And his words and actions indicate … that he is barely alive.
I agree in theory, or when referring to the general public. But this guy is the president of the United States…he must be physically able to carry out his job, and he should determine if he is getting too up in years to do that.
Getting old is inevitable, and sometimes, most of the time, when we reach a certain age we start to not function well. Yes, that should be treated with regard and respect…but only when you don’t have the lives and well being of hundreds of millions of people in your hands. POTUS is always subject to criticism and ridicule, it is the name of the game. Biden can step down, as anyone in his condition should.
Being of a particular color, sex, nationality, or religion, has no impact on a person’s competency and ability to perform a job (in this case, POTUS). Being too old, in this case (not all) does.
Hello, Todd … please forgive me but could you write a piece about the Lahaina (Maui) “wildfires” and their unique qualities?
Sorry to importune your.
No need, Mathis has already beaten him to it.
Thanks, WCH! What a relief. So no need to think about the children …
Just goes to show (once again) that the TPTB are mostly just jolly pranksters and would never actually sacrifice a human life, let alone a single child …
Probably not even the real Biden!
There is so much wrong with Biden, his past, his actions, his son, his history, his connections, his visions.
In 4 weeks Biden had killed more civilians overseas than Trump did in 4 years, so they say.
This is not the only article mentioned this feature age about Biden, its general in the Western media world.
I mean everything else could be justified criticised. But the man stand up, he travel, he speech, he works, he is on. I dont get it, dont buy it.
The man is a wrecking ball. He is destroying everything in his path. He is a danger to himself and others and needs 24 hour nursing care. Best descriptor (as per Dan Bongino): Rotting bag of oatmeal. He spent most of his lifetime trying to become President. A perfect example of the “Peter Principle”. He has risen to his level of incompetency. It would be the same even if he was young. As Obama said of Biden’s Vice Presidency, Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck something up.
You are confusing the person with the party, in this case the war party.
Obama was referring directly to Biden. True, the party is the problem. But Biden simply signs off on everything being proposed by the Cabinet with no clue as to the ramifications. He is a follower. Not a leader.
Tread lightly as the leaders compete just to become survivors.
Even if he were completely healthy and full of vitality, Biden would not be governing; he’s purely a figurehead or front man.
The fact that he’s old doesn’t disqualify him; the fact that he’s obviously and increasingly physically and mentally incompetent does.
Trump is the same age, roughly, and in terms of energy, runs rings around people half his age. Trump fell afoul of the system because he believed that being elected President meant you actually get to govern: as he found out, you don’t.
His words:
“Cornpop was a bad dude.”
“Poor kids are just as smart as white kids.”
“America is a country that can be defined in a single word- asufutimaehaehfutbw.”
“Putin is clearly losing the war in Iraq.”
His actions:
-funneling US money to the 9/11 conspirators via the Pakistani military
-receiving massive kickbacks from shady deals in China, Ukraine, etc.
-sniffing women’s hair and grabbing little girls
-sleeping on camera during government conferences
-soiling his pants in public
Don’t forget that he was “the big guy” that got a cut of tens of millions of bribes which he has consistently lied about even though investigators have shell company bank statements that prove it. He then had a Ukrainian investigator fired for investigating the company his son worked for which was paying the pay to play bribes.
He digitally raped an intern who was later shouted down as a liar by the Democratic party. The same party that was championing women’s rights when a Supreme Court justice nominee was accused of a similar offense. Funny how that works.
He showered naked with his teen aged daughter which she wrote about in her diary and accidentally left it behind in the mental hospital in which she was staying. The diary was later authenticated. Biden then committed an illegal search and seizure act to get the diary back.
Classifed documents, accessible to anyone in his family and staffers at a Pennsylvania college, were stored at his home (next to his Corvette) and the college. Trump was later indicted for it (at least, that is the way it seemed).
We all know how the Afghanistan pull out went. A General Milley plan that Biden approved. But he approves everything. Of course Milley had previously committed treason by going behind Trump’s back to confer with Chinese military leadership. Trump was at fault for not having Milley arrested. It may as well have been a coup. And the fucker is still there (which is Biden’s fault).
Who am I to judge. He is just doing what he is told.
Robert Peters, aka, “Pedo Pete.”
Maybe we could collect all this to, “the man is barely alive” or “a senile joke”, just to make it short. I get your point.
1. Backlash against the banks? Not from the banks. From the people, whose power amounts to little more than another petition to power, like the banks and the rule of law protecting the law of rule. Sounds like more PR storylines to persuade us we have some say-so in being marched down one-way streets to a dead end. If all goes according to plan for ze great reset, some form of cash or monetary means of exchange will likely remain, even if it’s cowrie shells or soylent green. It will be reserved for rejects from the way things are (because they told us so), eking a living at the margins of the brave new abnormal, underground microeconomies where maladjusted malcontents will go the way of those left behind by progress, new Neanderthal remains to be dug up by our mutant replacements merged with machines.
2. I misread this one as covid chef, only to consider that correct for the crooked cronies cooking up god knows what concoctions of biotech. Of course, this is just a small slice of the traffic constantly passing through the revolving doors of the corporate state now fused for fascist control every step of social engineering, regulation of the rabble for our own good by routine conflicts of interest from the organized crime. U$ constitutional coup conspirator James Madison early on summed up the racket: those who own the country ought to govern it.
3. Box office rigging has got to be going on for any feature attraction. Who can afford the cinema any longer? Fun for the whole family, for a fortune. Phasing out this public pastime in favor of private content directly downloaded into one’s head courtesy of Neuralink. As for fraud, there’s the film industry itself pretending to art, especially those Pentagon franchises pumping out pulp propaganda of military superheroes saving helpless humans from ourselves. Who even wants to see the crap they’re cranking out these days for our entertainment to death? You will think nothing and be happy.
The bonus of the oops moment is that it reveals, again, the bona fide blank slate that is Biden, or his doppelganger (Brandon?), and how he must constantly be scripted by ghost writers making sure his Manchurian presidency isn’t mistaken for the mess it is. A never-ending duty no doubt for aides, who can’t help occasionally confusing themselves with the character they’ve constructed, in all its unlikely roles as a competent and coherent representation of leadership.
And thankfully it’s not all bad, and there’s monkey-wrench gangs at large who keep the spirit of resistance alive, even as all’s not told of a very hectic week with rumors of weaponized weather, from Hawaii to Hurricane Killary, brokering real estate deals and depopulation to keep us moving along into the new abnormal.
Meet the New Normal, same as the Old Normal.
“Germany is quietly building a “huge surveillance apparatus” that risks creating a denunciation culture similar to those of the Nazis and the Stasi, ”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/08/19/germany-whistleblower-protection-law-surveillance-stasi-afd/
The precise figures are dubious (11×3=33) but there’s something going on in Australia with excess deaths:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12245877/Excess-deaths-Australia-11-3-cent-average-not-Covid.html
The MSM ignore it (the odd “fact-checking” debunk aside) and the Australian Parliament hasn’t responded to calls for a royal commission (not that anyone should have much confidence in those).
The contrast with 2020-22 when “one death is too many” when it came to masks and jabs couldn’t be starker. It must now be obvious that such slogans are nothing more than cynical attempts at behaviour manipulation.
Finding the cause of excess deaths in those who are vaxxed now, is as difficult as to find the cause for lung cancer in smokers back then: experts look in all directions except for the most obvious direction.
With the money, grants, prestige, and PR bureaus that companies have, they easily can buy ‘genius’ (aka academics) who know everything that is needed to know, except the obvious, thereby creating endless ‘debates’ and ‘controversies’ that need time to settle (for the causal link between cigarettes and cancer >50 years) creating the much needed revenue companies can get over the back of the happy consumer.
Or as Chomsky said: ‘ The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.’
Chomsky would know. He’s an expert at it.
Plain and simple: It is all lies.
They will never stop lying. They are all in on it.
We are not dealing with Phillip Morris this time. We are dealing with all the rest.
Government. Academia. MSM. Medicine. Big Pharma. All other Corporations.
Hard to maintain a smoke screen this large.
Just the idea that they still recommend jabbing children (including infants) indicts them all.
Disease rates across the board are abnormally high and they all have the same thing in common. Simple population studies can expose it all.
We (the unvaxxed) are their burden of proof and they want us gone.
Stats don’t lie.
The excess death are only due to clima change and this is a fact. Everyone who disagree with that is a self hating doo.
I think they were telling that tale on CNN not too long ago.
wow the comments are a joy, I don’t think anyone is buying the lies anymore…
It seems Barcelona University was FORCED to give a mandatory course on climate change by groovy student protestors. You know, just like the lockdowns were FORCED on governments by “wildcat strikes”. Doesn’t it make ya proud that “we” have so much influence to FORCE the authorities to do ….. umm, what they were going to do anyway?
They’re using Nudge Psychology on the government, you say ?
The Graud is funnier:
“The announcement came after a seven-day occupation by a group from the anti-fossil fuel organisation End Fossil Barcelona.”
Which led some professor to announce the good news:
“The trigger was the student occupation but it shows a general cultural change. Ten or 15 years ago the university would have sent in the police. But now you can’t kick them out because you know they’re right and society supports them.”
See! “They’re right” and “society supports them”.
Society! Gosh that’s you and me!
“A committee of experts and academics largely nominated by the activists will meet to discuss the content of the course.”
Hang on! “largely nominated by the activists”? Good God, these disruptive unruly rebels seem to have acquired one hell of a clout!
But wait! There’s one vital element missing! The Bad Guys. Oh here it is:
“The decision to launch the course came as Isabel Diáz Ayuso, the conservative president of the Madrid autonomous region, said in a speech that there had always been climate change and dismissed “apocalyptic claims” as part of a communist plot.”
Ah yes, that Evil Right Wing getting in the way of us groovy Lefties!
All of which only goes to confirm the utter irrelevance of the pathetic theatre that is the academic establishment.
Been a very useful tool for the parasites. The identity it affords people is something they don’t relinquish willing and tend to weld as a form of supposed superiority. Institutionalised much. Appeal to authority fallacy.
An argument could be made that the contemporary university/college campus model is an anachronism, a 800-900 year old legacy based originally on a scarcity of printed material, or books of knowledge. In those earlier ages when the concept originated, persons desiring to become educated were required to gather in centrally-located places where ‘readers’ provided lectures to the assembled group from these scarce texts. In the current age, with the preponderance and ready availability of electronic media, this centrally-based system could be considered obsolete. In fact, the content of entire degree programs from certain institutes are currently on-line.
A lot of spelling and grammar errors in this one. Might want to give it a check.
Were you once, are you now, have you ever been a school ma’am ?
Maligning educators is a low trick of ignorant tyrants.
Surely you aren’t one of those…?
well said and if MSM write this bad they would say something.
From the NEW New Normal:
“Two smart Alecs discuss the expanded BRICS+ meeting in South Africa”
https://youtu.be/z8i9zFpWDEI
60 Nations attending. Oil-rich Iran and oil-rich Saudi Arabia apply to join oil-rich Russia & goods-rich China. Agenda will include a BRICS currency to replace the U$ petro-dollar in global trade.
BRICS? The information-management, run from Goldman Sachs and the CIA?
