This Week in the New Normal #75
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. Euthanasia on the Isle of Man
The regional government of the Isle of Man – the Tynwald – is giving a second reading to a sweeping new bill on euthanasia and assisted suicide.
If passed the law would far exceed the UK’s national euthanasia laws. Right to Life News reports:
An assisted suicide and euthanasia bill, more radical than any similar legislation in the US or recently proposed in the UK, will be debated later this month in the Isle of Man.
The ‘Assisted Dying Bill 2023‘ is set to receive a Second Reading in the House of Keys, the lower house of the Parliament of the Isle of Man, Tynwald, on 31 October.
The Bill will not only allow for assisted suicide, in which a person ends their own life through taking lethal drugs, but also for euthanasia, in which a person’s life is ended by a medical professional.
According to the Bill, the lethal drugs can be prescribed by the attending doctor or “another registered medical practitioner”, including nurses and pharmacists, if they have been authorised to do so by their doctor.
Given the role played by illegal DNRs and associated medications during the COVID-19 “pandemic”, any further legalising of “assisted suicide” should be watched with a wary eye.
2. Canada Prosecuting Detective for Doing Her Job
The Ottawa Police Department is prosecuting one of its own members for attempting to investigate possible links between unexplained infant deaths and Covid “vaccines”.
Detective Helen Grus of the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit allegedly committed “discreditable conduct”, by contacting the families of nine infants who died suddenly and inexplicably independent of the official investigators.
According to the Ottawa Senator:
Investigators with the Ottawa Police Service’s professional standards unit allege Const. Helen Grus committed discreditable conduct when she took on a private investigative project to find the vaccination status of parents whose infants or children had died.
[…]
Grus has also been served with a notice of increased penalty, meaning that if she is found guilty of discreditable conduct, the service may seek dismissal or demotion as a penalty.
This is not a new story, but it was new to me until this week when I read a great detailed write-up of it by Christopher Brunet for The Dossier.
Detective Grus’s trial continues on October 30th.
3. Belgium sets a worrying precedent
The Belgian government is planning to use money seized from Russian nationals to fund its aid to Ukraine.
According to Reuters:
Belgium, where most frozen Russian central bank assets are held, expects to collect 2.3 billion euros ($2.4 billion) in taxes on the assets and use them to help reconstruct Ukraine, a spokesperson for Belgium’s prime minister said on Wednesday.
OffG has been as vocal as any outlet in refusing to take sides in the latest Russia-West conflict, but sides or no this is a terrible precedent to set.
That is Russian money, freezing it was bad enough, but using the income it generates to give to another country is pure theft and massive attack on the idea of state sovereignty.
Further, the idea of seizing money from “bad guys” and giving it to “good guys” who “need it more” is not one anybody should support. Today it’s nations, tomorrow it could be individuals.
BONUS: Bought politician of the week
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was chilling with Bill Gates this week…
The UK’s global leadership on net zero and health is vital.
That’s why transatlantic partnerships are so important. pic.twitter.com/SJV946C5Ih
— Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) October 13, 2023
…don’t be surprised if there’s a “snap election” in the UK’s future, which Labour win at a canter showing “the UK is ready for change*” or something.
*Spoiler alert: Nothing will change.
BONUS II: Buy physical media
This week US retail giant Best Buy announced they would no longer be stocking physical DVDs or Blu Ray discs in their stores, shutting down another avenue for owning physical copies of movies and TV shows.
Sometime soon you’ll only be able to stream these things, or purchase “digital copies”. Considering that, in the recent past, streaming services have been known to edit, delete or take back digital purchases, that’s not a good thing.
Buy physical media…while you can.
It’s not all bad…
If you want to laugh, here’s comedian Ryan Long struggling over what side to take in Israel vs Palestine…
*
All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention the latest edition of the endless pro-bug eating nonsense.
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.

“Buy physical media … “
I once respected Neil Young …
I bought “After the Gold Rush” in LP format when it came out.
Then, I bought my first auto and had to get the 8-track version. Meanwhile, after bringing my LP to numerous, raucous parties, I had to buy a new one due to skips, scratches and the like.
My next auto had a cassette player, so I bought the cassette version which was “eaten” after about two weeks. Luckily, folks were staring to “pirate” cassettes and I was able to avoid the need to purchase another “official” cassette.
Fast-forward (Ha!) … who was able to resist the CD revolution? … not me. I bought a CD of the same music. Time passed and I was persuaded that the remastered version of “After the Gold Rush” would provide me with all sorts of nuances that I had been missing the past 40 years and I took the bait.
After that, who would have thought that audiophiles would finally return to vinyl?
I’m well into it with a good record player and a tube amplifier. Meanwhile, my hearing has diminished considerably and in all honesty, I can’t tell the difference between the vinyl and the CD.
I hope ole Neil Young will remember all the royalties I”ve sent his way over the decades as I continued to buy his physical media.
Ps I downloaded a digital version from iTunes store at the beginning of the year but obviously that doesn’t count.
Dont think Russia verses Ukraine can be similar to how you framed it.
Probably the most hopeful sign I’ve seen that the lockdown strategy has been shelved:
https://dumptheguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/16/uk-lockdowns-were-a-policy-failure-health-expert-tells-covid-inquiry
It’s not so much that he’s reached this conclusion – it’s more that he’s been allowed to express it at the Inquiry and the Fraud has reported it with some prominence rather than burying it or calling him an anti-semitic conspiracy theorist.
Part of the reason is undoubtedly that it’s being used as another stick with which to beat the Tory government. Presumably they think everyone’s going to forget that Labour and the Fraud itself made only certain criticisms of lockdowns when they were happening – that lockdown was introduced too late, was lifted too early and its terms were never stringent enough.
Just be climate lock downs next time..
I take the side of the Palestinian people, not Hamas. Not that hard actually if you’ve been keeping up with what has been happening in Palestine since WWII.
If the Western media were to show a photo of random man with a swarthy complexion, a paintball gun and a green headband with “EAT YOUR VEGGIES” written on it in Arabic and claim he was a barbaric terrorist, everyone would immediately believe it.
My understanding is that Hamas was formed possibly but very likely with the help of Israel itself to divide and conquer Palestinians and support for the PLO. That was in the late 1980s. At this moment I have no idea who is funded by whom, who obeys whom of the alphabet soup of groups that exist.
q.1 Why does the BBC say that Israelis are killed but Palestinians die?
q.2 If “terrorism” is defined as indiscrimiinately killing and injuring civilians on a large scale why are only non-Whites picking up arms in their own damn homeland to fight for basic human rights and/or resist occupying forces (think Hamas, Hezbollah, Taliban, Iraqi or Libyan army, Soleimani etc. etc.) considered terrorists but not NATO or the IDF?
If we go by the number of civilians killed and the length of time the killing is going on for, don’t NATO and the IDF have a higher terrorist score than Hamas?
q.3 Is it because Palestinians are not human but “human animals” according to Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant?
q.4 Why is NATO’s indiscriminate murder of civilians across the Middle East called “collateral damage” and not terrorism?
q.5 Why do we hear about the Israeli right to self defense against “human animals of Palestine” but Palestinians don’t have those rights?
q.6 why are we only hearing about 150 Israeli hostages in Palestine but not the 10,000-11,000 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails? Those would be the ones still alive who have not been tortured to death in Israeli jails.
q.7 Given that
-Hamas is the de facto government and “army / airforce / navy” of the Gaza strip
-that Gaza is an open air concentration camp
-that your average Hamas “terrorist” in his 20s has seen five brutal assaults on his little compound by Israel in his short lifetime and isn’t allowed to attend the music festival like his peers on the other side of the wall…..is he supposed to spend his whole life in that camp or should he just be murdered by carpet bombing Gaza?
Exactly. Can anyone tell me if war is not terror what is it??
Economist cover from 11 years ago shows Hamas and Israel fighting on hand gliders.
…And Obama on a “Pride” boat…
Perfectly accurate, only in today’s version, you can’t physically see the DEMONS for what they ARE. They don’t usually dress Grand Guinol. More often suits and ties.
This IS a level of HELL.
It doesn’t mean that we’ve actually been told the TRUTH about it, presuming there is one.
Thank you, Cela. Very useful …
OffG has been as vocal as any outlet in refusing to take sides in the latest Russia-West conflict”
OffG should take a side and that is the side of the people. The people of Russia and of the West do not want war. The oligarchs, pedophile-eugenicist-pharmaco-warmongers are warring against the people. It is not Russia vs West.
Anyone any clue what this is all about? Secret Merc army?

it appears something dodgy is afoot.
They are the future guards for the enternment camps and to enforce the future lockdowns.
Our treacherous leaders know the army would not take out its own people, so they have imported these mercenaries…
I was saying this 2 years ago about the so called illegals, they are not, its government approval, and I was laughed at and given the usual conspiracy theorist brush off. People smugglers my arse. The UN have been involved in prepping these scumbags from day one. Why on earth would all these single males of fighting age be coming in otherwise and be located in all parts of the UK. It proves that the government rhetoric is a lie and will not ever stop this infiltration until the numbers are deemed sufficient to start the mass oppression, herding and killing UK people. Its why governments are determined to disarm its people before this can start. Its why the Americans who are switched on, are determined to keep the right to own guns etc. I envy their stand and wish people in the UK were not so fucking stupid and gullible. If anyone doubts that our biggest enemy is our government, who are placed, not elected whatever lame brains think, just look at the callous distraction methods used such as Ukraine and now the poor people in Palestine. MPs are sick, controlled bought and paid for liars, just follow the money as usual.
Aye, little brown men, usually quite ignorant cunts (but not all) have increased tenfold around this backwater in the past year, i’ve even seen them harass women, TRUE. It is notable, and we indigenous honkies note well. These fuckers are due a shock if they believe their masters/lies. We’ll kick their fucking heids in, then take their alleged guns . . there’s still a lot more of us than them.
Regardless, I find this tale above a tall tale, part of the fear porn. Show us the pics/proof. Otherwise I have 40 decapitated babies to sell to Hillary…..
If it is true, you are only worried if you are a coward.
Bring it on, fuck them all, the .gov first and foremost.
Not really ok, rubberheid. Let’s keep the gammon under control, if we can. Thanks. A2
They are not all little, granted Sam, and i don’t care what colour people are, but I do care about why, where, how??? And now?
Give us a break, it wasn’t a racial slur, just a certain reality that may well be unfolding..
But aye, I’ll try and keep a lid on perceived verbiage, okay.
National Post:
Ooh I’m getting deja vu here. Intact terrorist passorts in the Twin Tower rubble?
They are not very smart, using the same tricks again again, expecting we will never find out.
Israel is more evil than many realise: it has exported arms and technologies of mass death, destruction and ruthless crowd control (e.g asphyxiation and tear gas grenades and other chemicals used by riot police in shitholes like Greece) to over 100 countries and has trained unknonwn numbers of military and police forces to brutalize people more effectively…
https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OVY3pEYEImLCx5pDWTsuv
We are trying to keep cool and stay with the Israeli population who are victims in this game too.
“shitholes like Greece” Could you kindly confirm that this is really what you wanted to write? And at the same time give a list of “non-shitholes?”
Believe it or not, human beings live in Greece.
Many thanks for highlighting the likely enactment of yet another of the dangerous euthanasia bills being passed by more and more countries and US states. I was part of the campaign in NZ to make people aware of how dangerous such laws are; however a majority of the population voted Yes in the referendum enacting the “End of LIfe Choice Act.” in 2019. These law, no matter how narrowly worded when put in place, almost always expand, so that laws that allowed “assisted dying” for the terminally ill, can come to allow it for many others — including the handicapped and mentally ill. And then, of course, there are laws which are outright euthanasia — where no consent is required — of infants. All these laws are, to my mind, immoral, but that is my personal view. What should be of concern to all thinking, caring people is that these laws all have one great flaw: there is no way to ensure that an individual’s decision is not due to outside pressure, real or perceived. Does grandma want to die because she thinks she is a burden on her family? Does the handicapped or mentally ill person chose death because they have been unable to access treatment and care that would make their lives more fulfilling? Is part of the motivation of the parents who seek to have the life of their deformed infant ended that they don’t want the burden or can’t face the ongoing cost of the child’s care?
Thank you for your efforts. I had never thought too deeply about the implications of assisted suicide until I received a pamphlet in the mail in 2020. David Seymour is a real scumbag, being the bag man to bring that particular evil globalist agenda item to the table.
I am absolutely shocked by this..
Sir Kier of the labour party (notice the emphasis off the labour party and U>K government in every other article never once mentioning the ‘Conservative as the U.k Government’ ) is brought politician of the week.
some one else is clearly brought, YOU.
The new Gaza campaign which is funding isl is fully ok.!!!! then by you>>>????
then the OG LOL moment was struggling over what side to take in Israel vs Palestine…
woke right Ryan is sooo funny to the sickfuck idiots who cant see a psyop.
who ever write this joke of the week in new normal which mileswmathis calls the zoinst blog faking it as ex lefties alt media outlet sure sells the needing 4k a month, so better suck Conservative cock for $hackles.
The only thing missing from the article was a turning point U.K logo.
Off G Nope!!! Off shill more like.
Also this week:
https://davidicke.com/2023/10/16/reiner-fuellmich-taken-from-german-embassy-in-mexico-on-passport-errand-flown-to-frankfurt-and-arrested/
There are some very interesting links in this link thanks.
Icke makes a lot of sense in his explanations.He talk about low frequences in unhappy fearful people, and that history in all regions and religions of the world during times up till today talk/write about demons sucking energy.
When we ask why is it necessary to make atrocities on defenceless children, women, unarmed, etc, actions which makes no human sense.
Going digital, is a historians nightmare but a revisionists wet dream
BBC: “Steve Bell sacked by Guardian in antisemitism row over Netanyahu cartoon”
Somebody drew a link between Bell’s cartoon and Shakespeare’s Shylock. All of which was news to Bell.
We are now reaching pathological levels of paranoid censorship.
The “gentlemen” protest way too much…. Neanderthalyahoo doesn’t need caricature, he is an abomination before he even opens his mouth.
It reminds me of the Guardian calling that Illuminati bankers mural “anti semitic” when there were no visible “chosen ones” on display….
They are basically admitting that the “racist” conspiracies are true and that a certain pseudo-tribe (birthplace: Ukraine) is indeed pulling a lot of strings..
Have you heard the latest: Dr Reiner Fuellmich has been arrested…
see the link below (at the bottom of the page, at that link, is a link for the full story):
https://davidicke.com/2023/10/16/reiner-fuellmich-taken-from-german-embassy-in-mexico-on-passport-errand-flown-to-frankfurt-and-arrested/
Celia Farbe on Truth Barrier posted about this today. Lots of comments.
Ironically, I had just viewed the two part interview of David Icke on Reiner’s new bitchute podcast.
What a world.
Yes, it’s Celia Farber’s substack post on this that’s given as the link to the full story, at the Icke link which I provided, above. I read through a lot of the comments.
You’re right, of course. What a world… The situation for the human race is becoming more dire with every day that passes. When will the ‘sheep’ wake up and realise what’s really going on…? I’ve given masses of information to relatives and friends from early 2020 (had been doing so re. other subjects for decades, having been ‘awake’ for 40-45 years), but still they all choose to blindly believe what the people on their beloved TVs ‘tell’ them…
Thanks for clarification. I did not go to the Icke link.
I tend to think along the same lines as Icke. It’s all top down. The “sides” are created as diversion, devisiveness, destruction.
I believe there are people that want to do the right thing. And want to expose lies and criminality. But they can be “got”. In many many ways. The least of which, in my thinking, is money.
They face loss of reputation, loss of career, loss of credibility, physical harm, and the ultimate – threats of harm to family and friends.
There are so many instances we know of, and so many many more, I imagine, that we don’t.
Does anybody know what he is arrested for or accused of? I cant read this from any of the links.
One or more of the comments posted underneath the Celia Farber Substack article (accessible by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Icke item, in the link in my post, above) say that they think Fuellmich may have been arrested because of the claims made (a year or so ago) by his now former colleague, Viviane Fischer: she claimed that he’d ‘appropriated’ a large amount of the donations made by members of the public to their now former ‘Corona Investigative Committee’.
I have no idea whether he did or he didn’t. Further information re. his arrest will no doubt be made public, as time goes on.
Thanks. I read that somewhere too. It looks like an Assange case, false witnesses with invented accusations which can drag out for decades.
Not Funny
I didn’t find the comedian a bit funny. Does he find apartheid funny ? Genocide ?
Comedians, musicians and other entertainers are part of the propaganda system. As we saw during the long dark time that was the scamdemic. The very same entertainers are now supporting the war crimes now in progress.
aye, but the Pale-stein did raise a grin.
He that woke alt right that dickheads who think there awake laugh at.
This week in the NEW New Normal
From Alexander Mercouris:
Russia Ceasefire Proposal, Russia-Turkey Plan Gaza Relief; Iran warns Israel; Israel Delays Offensive
https://youtu.be/B6OJMuA0Y4o?t=13
Funny how ppl want to pick a side in the Gaza conflict.
Funny how most dont realize Hamas is a Israeli/US construct.
Funny how the msm literally QUIT reporting on the Ukraine theatre show overnight and replace it with this gaza theatre. Almost as if there’s an agenda behind it.
It’s all scripted nonsense.
101- don’t do what I did, when I thought I could swim at Heron Road Baths in Oldham, though it was funny..when someone dropped the rope – on the other side of the swimming people, when the girls were changing…
I deeply exhaled, whilst no one was looking..and jumped in to the deep end.
I went straight to the bottom…I kind of thought, I would naturally come up to the surface again, but didn’t..I had no bouyancy whatsoever, but did not panic..I did however think “oh sh1t”
I kicked my feet and used my arms and legs and kept my gob shut and didn’t breathe until I got to the surface. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone, but many years later, I did take diving up for real…and was taught well.
Number 1. Do Not Panic – stay calm and practice swapping breathing masks
still here at 70. I’m amazed too.
Watch this for a good laugh:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why-do-democrats-keep-farting-camera
“1. Euthanasia on the Isle of Man”
i went to the Isle of Man when I was 17. Just my Mum, Dad and me
Two motorcycles and one scooter…
We stayed in the flat over the diving shop in Port Erin.
Whilst I liked motorcycles, I was bored shitless..so I kind of asked…about diving….
They all looked at me, and said you will e’ffin’ freeze to death….
“Get a Girlfriend First..hopefully a girl who can swim”
I tried my best….she is not a natural swimmer either, but both our kids were…
We took them swimming when they were babies. They kind of just did it… Our son is exceptionally good. His 3 kids are learning.
Well, IoM is a tax haven so no surprise they are with the program.
Is there such a position as “trans-opinion” ?
Like, You’re for one group but maybe for the other ?
Or is that just being “fluid” ?
Ha ha good one
I’m opinion fluid and inclusive of all answers
One cop speaks up; BANG!
The rest shut up; Job done.
Why doesn’t ol Billy stick to what he knows best? Clunky, shitty software.
Once streaming becomes the only source they will also have a monopoly on pricing. Ain’t digital Capitalschism wonderful?
Keir Starmer is such an idiot to hang with Gates knowing that just pumps up the truth that these guys try to hide.
Starmer’s Labour Party is mentally ill. They all belong in the booby hatch.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/10/15/labour-party-to-make-misgendering-punishable-with-two-years-in-prison-report/
Barkin mad.
They’re nuts.
Does fluoride in the water remove people’s intelligence and sense of humour or what?
Something like that has definitely happened.
Maybe it’s the heavy metals in their Beluga caviar or the pesticides in their Dom Perignon.
“Does fluoride in the water remove people’s intelligence?…)
Yes. Go to pubmed.gov and type in the search window the following words for three separate searches:
1) fluoride IQ
2) fluoride cognitive
3) fluoride Alzheimer’s
etc etc
or maybe they are fully evil cunts? enjoying themselves too?
‘Misgender”.. from the mentals who endlessly mis label any one who disagrees with the current thing as “right wing,white supremacist and hater.”
No no – ‘far-right’. The right is always far. The left, not so much.
Seems to be the same with leftists all over. Ideology makes people sick.
Unsurprising to see Starmer here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Friends_of_Israel#Sitting_MPs
Also on there Yvette Cooper and Labour’s emissary to Bilderberg David Lammy. BTW Labour wom a by-election in Scotland (totally not contrived by the sitting MP’s “breeches” of Covid rules) and compounded by a SNP MP defecting. Labour need at least some recovery in Scotland to be certain of winning the next general election. The plan seems to be not only that they win but win big so as to guarantee a decade in power. Rawnsley’s column in yesterday’s Fraud on Sunday was virtually a victory lap before the election is even won. I expect things will change once Labour are in power – the New Normal will get rocket-boosters. Remember the Bank of England’s CBDC “review” coincides with what’s likely to be Labour’s first year in power – how much did Labour say “no” to bankers last time they were in power?…
On the subject of physical media, I don’t think the name Kindle was chosen by random accident. Kindling is what ignites fires. It’s a book-burning joke. They’ve already been caught tampering with Kindle versions of print works.
No need to ‘buy’ ebooks from Amazon if you already have a Kindle. Download ebooks from other places on the net (e.g. Project Gutenberg). If they are in .epub format you can convert them to .mobi (compatible with Kindles) using Calibre or Amazon’s own Kindle Previewer 3 (both these are free; Calibre’s author asks for a small donation).
Then, important: store the ebooks on your own physical media and keep backups. Having done that, ‘sideload’ the ebooks on the Kindle. That is to say, plug your Kindle into your computer using the USB cable provided. The Kindle will show up on the desktop as a removable drive. Navigate to the ‘documents’ folder and drop the ebooks there.
Happy reading! I’m currently working my way through all of Trollope from PG (top notch editions). Cost: £0.00. VAT: £0.00.
That’s good advice, not forgetting Library Genesis. Kindle is quite happy with epub format these days and they seem to be moving away from mobi gradually. So no real need to convert.
Yes, thanks, though only the newer models are OK with epub.
He can count on the Covid believers to vote for his Mk.2 Tory party.
