This Week in the New Normal #111
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. Anti-radicalisation classes for young boys?
The British government is going to start special “anti-misogyny” classes in schools, as part of their ongoing war against “violence against women and girls”.
It’s unclear if these classes will be showing Adolescence, but only a fool would bet against it.
The Times reports [emphasis added]:
All boys will be taught how to respect women and girls as part of the school curriculum under government plans to “deploy the full power of the state” to crack down on male violence and misogyny.
Has anything good ever come from “deploying the full power of the state”?
No, no it hasn’t.
Plus, these bizarre indoctrination classes — supposedly to tackle the totally made-up problem of radical misogyny — will actually just spread resentment and real misogyny amongst boys who feel they’re being punished for something they didn’t do and are inherently inferior to girls.
This counter-productivity is likely deliberate.
2. Australia down, is Ireland or the US next?
This week saw the official start of Australia’s “social media ban” for under-16s. As we’ve discussed, in reality, this is an age verification system for the entire country, which aims to undermine, if not entirely remove, the right to privacy and anonymity online.
And it works so well that other countries are already lining up to start their own.
In Ireland, Fine Gael is calling for “a complete prohibition on social media access for children under 16”.
In the US, Republicans have been vocally supporting Australia’s move and calling for something similar at home, while over on the “left” Bernie Sanders is clearly feeling around endorsing it too.
They won’t be the last; this is going to spread everywhere.
3. The end of Fat Cats?
After years of waiting, the world has finally been presented witha solution to fat cats. That would be literal fat cats, you understand?
Not Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, we’re not that lucky.
Yes, in the US, overweight cats have started taking Ozempic too. This is good news for cat owners who are not only too lazy to lose weight themselves, but too sadistic to stop feeding the house-cats they’ve institutionalised into gluttonous apathy.
Yay.
The NY Post reports:
Fat cats are taking Ozempic now — and it could be the solution to terminal feline illnesses
Don’t feel guilty about boxing a semi-wild animal up in tiny grey cage until it goes mad and eats itself almost to death, just give it a pill that will destroy its liver instead.
BONUS: Made up stat of the week
A stat doing the rounds in the British media this week is that no illegal immigrants have arrived in small boats for the last month:
BREAKING: No migrants arrived in the UK on small boats crossing the Channel in the 28 days to yesterday, the Home Office says.
It’s the longest period without migrants arriving on small boats in seven years.

We say it every time, but there is no way they can possibly know this. It is logically impossible.
It’s not all bad…
Good news this week comes in the form of people resisting tyranny — both individually and en masse. The major example is the large protests against Digital ID held in London on Saturday (you can read Iain Davis on why he was attending here).
On the smaller scale, there’s things like this tweet from the Merseyside Police, announcing their use of facial recognition tech.
🚨 We are starting to use Live Facial Recognition (LFR) to help keep communities safe and bring offenders to justice.
Our first deployment is in Liverpool City Centre on Monday 15 December.

Notice the ratio of comments to likes. Notice also how they had to turn off replies. That’s a sign of a populace bitterly resentful of authority…and that’s a good thing.

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention the pros and cons of UBI or the terrifying “fever proof bird flu”.
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.</h6

Rob Reiner contradicting himself (see attached video):
Statement A: The press failed to do it’s job in challenging Bush (W) over the Iraq war.
Statement B: This (i.e. the Trump admin) is the first time in American history that . . . a big chunk of the press is not doing their job.
Moreover, did Reiner ever do anything to challenge the 9/11 fraud?

UAE Among Worst Countries for Press Freedom in 2024, Report Reveals
The United Arab Emirates has been ranked among the bottom 20 countries worldwide for press freedom, placing 164th out of 180 in the 2024 World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders (RSF). The UAE registered the second steepest drop from the previous year, reflecting an escalating clampdown on freedom of expression.
RSF attributes the continued decline to increasingly harsh restrictions on both domestic and international media. Authorities in the UAE enforce strict censorship, actively suppress dissenting voices, and target expatriate journalists, who face risks of harassment, detention, or deportation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates
UAE law does not allow trade unions to exist.[279] The right to collective bargaining and the right to strike are not recognised, and the Ministry of Labour has the power to force workers to go back to work. Migrant workers who participate in a strike can have their work permits cancelled and be deported.[279] Consequently, there are very few anti-discrimination laws in relation to labour issues, with Emiratis – and other GCC Arabs – getting preference in public sector jobs despite lesser credentials than competitors and lower motivation. In fact, just over eighty per cent of Emirati workers hold government posts, with many of the rest taking part in state-owned enterprises such as Dubai Properties and the airline Emirates.[280] Western states, including the United Kingdom, were also warned by the Emirati Trade Minister, Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, to keep politics separate from trade and the economy, as it dilutes the agreements’ main objectives. In 2023, Al Zeyoudi indicated that these countries should “tone down” the human and workers’ rights provisions in the trade deals, in order to gain greater market access and business opportunities.[281]

Trump Is ‘Mentally Unfit’ to Be U.S. President, Rob Reiner Says
Variety
Dec 13, 2017
President Donald Trump is “mentally unfit” to be president, Rob Reiner told Variety at the Dubai International Film Festival.
Not a peep from any of the conservative outlets I follow on restricting internet usage. With the exception of porn, that is. And that’s been a failure since Larry Flint was paralyzed by a gunshot to the abdomen. I spend most of my time on The Daily Wire (DW). (Officially a “lifetime subscriber”.) Just received my complimentary Leftist Tears mug for having done so. Such a deal. DW normally does not miss a trick. Maybe Dan Bongino will bring it up now that he is leaving the FBI. What was he thinking? All that money he was raking in. Must have raised the tuition at his daughter’s college. I digress. A couple doctors are doubling down on the benefits of the Covid Vaxx on X. They are so freaked out that RFKJ (Bobby) is trying to hold the Vaxx industry accountable. Leftist or not, the man is a hero. Every time a child contracts the measles an angel get its wings. That’s one less child risking adjuvant caused autism.

“We say it every time, but there is no way they can possibly know this. It is logically impossible.”
Maybe it is but I think it is also impossible that the ‘small boats’ have been arriving at all without the collusion of some element of the British authorities. The Channel is at least 25 miles wide and a key frontier, and even Channel swims are heavily regulated. So that being the case, the ‘small boat’ crossings look like a deliberate foreign policy or domestic policy decision, to stir up division or fear, as well as distraction from Johnson’s Brexit cover-up. If the British authorities were serious about stopping the crossings they would have used the Armed Forces or beef up the Coastguard. So I suspect, in fact, that it actually is just about possible to know that there have been no ‘small boat’ crossings, but the converse of that is that it was also possible to stop them coming all along, and this was a government decision.
More news this week:
Aussie have established a national team of Police Intelligence and Rescue workers that will use all the Commonwealth’s forces to eradicate anti-semitism not only in Aussie but globally!
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-16/coalition-launches-antisemitism-taskforce-after-bondi-terror-att/106151212 .
Well, you guys already knew this would arrive, so maybe it was not a news.
But, nevertheless your anticipations and predictions are thus confirmed from behind.
Bring back masks. All is forgiven.
Old cats typically die of hyper [overacive] thyroid ie wasting disease. I understand this is from eating petfood, which is mainly made of waste bread from supermarkets. This is thrown into mashers with a quantity of wrapping plastic, which screws up the cats organs.
A book could be written about what you don’t know about cats
Several, I should guess.
THE END OF FAT CATS?
The amount of vaccines they give pets is unavailable.
A new profit scheme?
Job for a Commissioner with a crowd of Inspectors tagging and chipping and QR marking all cats. All date collected through satellite surveillance.
All Porches in Russia suddenly stopped some in the middle of nowhere. ‘Deactivated’ by AI as they call it.
The company claim is was not deliberate but an AI error. But we see the pattern dont we?

In the same way they could then deactivate all cats if they were not vaccinated. If they became vaccinated they could also be deactivated if the same cats didnt ‘behave’ yes?
Won’t they let you in if you use Bluesky instead of X?

Of course that might seem like something none too bad until the other side get in and flip it….
It’s probably all just a scare story to “encourage” self-censorship.
Lawmakers in the United Kingdom are proposing amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would require nearly all smartphones and tablets to include built-in, unremovable surveillance software. (AKA Client side scanning software, which circumnavigates any encryption)
They’re trying to sneak it in under the radar via amendments to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
The amendment text specifies that any “relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”
It further defines “relevant devices” as “smartphones or tablet computers which are either internet-connectable products or network-connectable products for the purposes of section 5 of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022.”
Under this clause, manufacturers, importers, and distributors would be legally required to ensure that every internet-connected phone or tablet they sell in the UK meets this “CSAM requirement.”
There’s a link to the proposed amendments in this piece from Aletho News

cannot be underestimated far enough!
Any classes for girls on how to respect men?
This is just a further attack on boys & men.
How about the children learn directly from their parents to be polite with any other children or older people, like we use to do?

Tell us something we don’t know.
I just read the article this morning. Very interesting. Worth the read.
Apparently, Mossad is now working with Australian investigators
to find out who-what-when and so-on, behind Sunday’s mass
killings… That should greatly assist the Australians to discover
any Incrimination Evidence…
Are you serious les?
Every Muslim in Australia over five years of age better start packing their bags.
Or Mossad could just reveal how they planned it and what they intend to happen next.
Apparently Mossad informed The Australian Authorities some months
back that A Terrorist Plot was being plotted. Netanyahu also claims he
told the Aussie PM “I Told You So ! Now Will You Do Something About It!!”
Mossad must learn about all The Plots through its super-duper spyware
installed in everyone’s SMART phone’s ? (Wonder why they dont just
explode plotters heads using their Lebanese Hezbollah Decapitation
Trick ?)…
If Mossad informed the Aussie authorities about the impending terror attack then they obviously must have “learned about it” some way, super-duper spyware or otherwise. Perhaps something more mundane? Just as Israel knew all along about Oct 7. Perhaps they were already in on it? Perhaps they were behind it?
So why did they “warn” Australia? Because it fits into the “They didn’t take it seriously” angle which of course leads to the “Oh my God, we’d better step up the surveillance” angle.
Off topic but

Well of course the lessons against misogyny are deliberately counter productive. Exactly like the endless hysteria about catching the flu and illness in general. Every time they said “Stay safe!” they were trying to instill fear thereby hypochondria..
I reckon that deliberate counterproductive thing also extends to matters like sexuality and race. We have the gay thing and the mixed race thing shoved in our faces so much that everyone starts to resent it. Thanks to all that I’ve actually felt old prejudices resurface and the old offensive terminology bubble beneath the surface even within myself. “Oh not another fuckin’ p**f!”

There need to be classes to teach women to respect men, not to steal from them and not to see marriage as a prelude to a life of alimony from the divorced man.
Boys need to be taught the need for a pre-nuptial, they need to learn that women can be totally sexist, they need to be taught that Asians can be completely racist and that Africans can be homophobic.
Suggestion:
Classes for girls how to respect themselves so they be(come) respectable and men automatically respect them.
Or they can just find all that out for themselves eventually. 😂
‘Marry in haste and repent at leisure’ is certainly a timeless piece of wisdom.
I would instead suggest classes about how ideology, that socialist ideology castrate both the male and female roll.
In countries where poverty is big I will not rule out socialism and UBI, but it will help a lot for all if people knew the background for our failure to ‘love our neighbour as ourselves’.
How our society and moral and penalty law is build on the Bible’s principles, but were hijacked into a variation of ideologies.
Then both young girls and young men had the opportunity to not fall into these stereotype traps you mention.
“We say it every time, but there is no way they can possibly know this. It is logically impossible.”
As an expert in logical logistics I would claim it is possible:
If the British government plan and agree every single little refugee boat with refugees with their ‘partners’ in France and/or elsewhere, they are off course aware of the statistics of such.
Remember, the government always try to be ahead of things by planning the accidents beforehand 😊 .
Anglo West is being overrun by Globalist totalitarians; PR China already is. The Brussels EU / NATO is trying its worst too. Better support the remainder of the world, still plenty of people, the majority in fact. Poorer in digital money, richer in mental and physical freedom and safety.

Brawndo: It’s got what cats crave!
I decided to go without a coupla beers at my next visit to my local, use
the money to buy local print media, read their versions of Sunday’s Bondi
Beach Incident…
First, i learn that though The Authorities were yet to decide if it was A
Terrorist Attack, the press had no reluctance. It got me wondering ‘what
made it A Terrorist Attack, not A Mass Shooting ?’ The decider seems to
be one of two thing (or both): the religion or nationality of The Attacker/s;
the religion of The Targeted… The Attackers were Arabs, ipso facto,
Terrorists… The Targeted were members of a Special religious minority,
ipso facto. The Attackers were Terrorists…
Second. Two of The Victims were members of a religious minority – this
info was stressed, elevated. The remaining Victims remained unnamed,
maybe because some or more were not from the religious minority group.
In Hollywood movie terms, they were Extras…
Third. Reports did not state the religious minority’s presence/party was
the Direct Target of The Attackers… But who else was in the vicinity, what
other activities that were taking place at the very popular Aussie Beach,
gets no mention. All said the minority was partying in the vicinity…
One of The Named Victims was a retired (at 61) detective … That detail
appeared in only one paper’s coverage…
The leader of The Only Democracy In The Middle East asserted it was a
Terrorist Attack ‘on his people’. He seems to be better informed than local
and national Authorities…
Yeah, sure, this is about Yesterday’s News, but though msm attention has
quietened down somewhat, and we’ll be teased by the trickle of the latest
‘revelation’, that’s only ‘the pause’ during which The Authorities decide
on what, henceforth, will be The Official Version…
Terrorist Incident, or Mass Shooting ?
Corporate print media is only good for one thing:
Weed matting in the garden.
This week in the New Normal, and this is a New Normal, Trump continued to expose and embarrass himself and American Christians (the hypocrites that support his ass) with his statement on the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. He issued this statement:
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.
“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before.”
Just when you think the asshole and his supporters can’t go any lower, he and they do. Even some republicans (a few trotted out for appearance because the rest are chickenshits afraid of the blowhard) are calling him out on this one, but in keeping with their trance like cult behavior, the American Trump Christian Cult (ATCC) loves it and are almost unanimously behind their Great Cult Leader (GCL). The support by them of the stealing of the Venezuelan oil tanker is almost unanimous for example and no amount of insults to anyone can stir any empathy from these so called christians. Not to mention their total support for the Gaza Genocide. I’m ashamed I ever called myself one (for a few years in my 20’s), but at least I “saw the light”.
The new normal we’re being subjected to by about 1/3 of the population is to endure a deranged psychopath as President who has a constant and increasingly warped mouthpiece that reaches the youth of this country. The total impact of his Operation Warpspeed to our youth won’t be tallied for years, even decades, and the total impact of his cruel and ignorant mouth won’t either. The fucker is becoming more and more unhinged every day and I’m far from the only one to see it, and his cult’s rationalizations are becoming increasingly more disgusting and hyper-hypocritical.
On the bright side, Trump’s credibility is now so shot that he would find it difficult to rally anything close to 50% of the public behind him on any key issue. That could have — and may already be having — an impact on foreign policy. Thus far, the American public has not any appetite for war against Russia or Iran, so now Trump is reduced to blowing up Venezuelan fishing boats becuz muh Fentynal. I’m not saying we’re out of the woods yet; but honestly, I was afraid of far worse things happening by now. We’ll see …
Ya, it ain’t over til it’s over. But he really is getting worse as time goes on, mentally and physically, how much longer this can go on is definitely a question. I would bet a large amount that it can’t last 3 more years.
Gates, Bezos et al as fat cats?
Nah.
More like morbidly obese BEHEMOTH$$$$$$$$$$$.
This same technology is welcomed by the Chinese, so it can’t be that the technology is inherently bad/intrustive. And the same surveillance data goes to the same agencies, our respective governments. So it can’t be the data.
Could it be related to the fact that the PRC has the most trusted government on Planet Earth, because it is.
Western governments have lost the trust of their people which, Confucius warned, means they cannot survive.
So GMOs are good, eh. Man, are you a shill. Yikes. So blatant.
It would seem those opposed to UBI want the many who lose their
jobs to AI to try to live on fresh air and sunshine…
The most common objection to UBIs is they will have Strings attached.
It seems to never occurs to the them that by taking up mass reliance on
UBIs they could demand “no strings’ when such ideas are implemented,
and even that they be a Liveable Wage, not at the miserable level that
unemployment payments, with their severe ‘compliance’ strings, are.
Isn’t the whole point of UBI a ‘we have all the power, we deliberately destroyed all the jobs you used to do’?
It’s a reintroduction of slavery without the need to work. No rights, no freedoms, nothing. Just what they deign to give you.
When you are well and truly inside the UBI trap, it can be turned off. This can be for any reason such as not seeking work, not taking addictive meds, unlawful expression or a thousand other near-covert violations being added to laws or local regulations.
We can’t even have fresh air and sunshine anymore. Haven’t you noticed. Look up!
Those who oppose UBIs, rather than fight for a Living Wage UBI, are
likely to support the idea of one half of the unemployed digging holes,
the other half filling those holes in. The left – clearly Everyone’s Bete
Noir these days – are very catholic in their belief that ‘man should toil
by the sweat of his brow’… They’ll Find Work for the unemployed to do
in return for a UBI, just like the Soviet Union solved unemployment by
having them, and pensioners, stand outside public toilets selling loo
paper for a kopek per sheet…The Soviet Union had Full Employment…
Have you ever seen a fisherman worshiping the fish he caught with love songs? Ridiculous. The poor animal is mercilessly filleted. The same applies to women: bait is put out, and then, bang! She’s hooked and begging for mercy! And she loves it.
Jewish “feminists” have convinced women that men should be turned from “perpetrators into victims.” Unfortunately, that is exactly what has happened. The ‘women’ who are no longer women are now “conquering” the men who are no longer men.
This is possibly one of the most unconvincing comments I’ve ever read. A2
Shame I thought I won that award.
Second prize.
What?!
The trouble is, they got ya there. Keeping children off of social media is a good thing. Of course, they often make good things into bad things. But it’s hard to prove it. People can only go one step in. Ban children from social media = good thing. Ramifications? = too far in.
Keeping children off antisocial media is the responsibility of the parents, not the government
Isn’t this issue being looked at from the wrong perspective? If age verification takes place for social media, everyone of whatever age has to give up info on who they are and what they’re looking at. It’s total control so that when sites such as this are deemed too subversive we will all have a black mark against our social credit rating. I got called subversive recently for pointing out that Santa is an anagram of Satan and Claus is a homophone of ‘claws’. Satan’s claws are well into the jugular of critical comment nowadays I’d say.
Yeah, I know. I just now wanted to copy a link to a photo of a guy shooting blanks at Bondi on Twitter, and I got this age verification warning–which really meant I had to sign up for Twitter, which I’m not going to.
That’s to Protect you from Disinformation…
There is always xcancel.com
‘though it’s probably a truism that those adults who besmirch Santa’s
good name probably missed out on the presents they really wanted
when they were believing kids…
You are completely correct. It also won’t do anything to prevent children from seeking out adult content, on the contrary, they will look for more “shady” sites and means to get there.
It’s not about preventing children from social media to protect them.
That’s the cover story being used to get adults to ‘voluntarily’ get
digital ID, something which there’s widespread objection to. The
Authorities get complete adoption of digital ID by adults without
having to overcome widespread resistance…
It took 20 years, but it is finally here: The drivers license for the internet. It used to be pitched as a way to stop terrorists from doing evil stuff (it was the days of 911, Iraq invasion, and all that after all) but in the end they went with “won’t somebody think of the children!! 😧”
And now it is here. Finally. I’m surprised it took them this long.
Yes, it was a clever bit of work. The government asked its Nudge Unit how best it
could get mass uptake of Digital ID – believing, rightly, there’d be mass resistance
to a frontal assault…
Nudge Units are tasked with getting the masses to do whatever government wants
them to do – and for the masses to insist “It Was My Decision. No one, not even
the government, made me do it !!”
So Australian Adults are scurrying to get digital ID to avoid the inconvenience of not
being able to gossip online; and the government is increasing pressure on the social media tech companies – “there’s still too many kiddies accessing online sex porn
sites” – to ‘encourage’ individuals to make the decision that the government wants individuals to think they made by themselves…
So they’ll go to the peer to peer networks like TOR & Qortal.
Yeah I’ve been experimenting with those since my teenage days. I saw this coming a long time.
The Orwellian state is almost here.
“Police could use street cameras to read our emotions, identifying criminals by their eyes, voice or even the way they walk.
Ministers launched a consultation yesterday on emerging technology that analyses ‘motions and emotions’ and could help catch criminals, prevent suicides and find missing people.
Under the draconian plans, which critics fear could usher in a ‘surveillance state in everything but name’, the Home Office is consulting on the use of technology which ‘analyses the body and its movements to infer information about the person, such as their emotions or actions’.

Not to forget the “mysterious” military drones that were reportedly flying around Dublin Bay about ten days ago—an incident that was shortly followed this week by the largest-ever investment by the “neutral” Irish government in military-industrial hardware.
Apparently, “mysterious drones have caused disruption in several European capital cities, including Copenhagen and Brussels” (Irish Times). They always seem to be mysterious, even though they are allegedly flying over major European cities—and yet not a single photograph exists (coming soon, no doubt). Millions of people carry smartphones and would happily send photos of a party balloon to radio stations and newspapers in case aliens had arrived, but somehow not one person managed to capture a single image.
The Dublin Bay drones were supposedly sighted from the deck of a naval vessel in the bay. Personally, I believe they were the Brent goose model—well known for their night-flying abilities and impressive range. They are launched from the High Arctic and migrate all the way to Ireland, so they might indeed have been Russian…!!! Dublin Bay is home to thousands of Brent geese during the winter months—geese that make our political class and defence forces look like a bunch of turkeys.
Of course, it might well have been Santa, carrying out an early reconnaissance flight. There are strong suspicions that he, too, is Russian—what with the red outfit, communal workshops, bear-like appearance, reindeer-based transport system, Arctic origins, and links to Lapland, etc. Perhaps he was keeping an eye on the bad little midget dwarf from Kyiv who happened to be in Dublin, allegedly stealing all the little children’s money…!
An Irish drone?
Was it flying erratically, or in a straight line?
salmon of knowledge 😂
to easy, your handwriting has a similar style.
actually the Russians don’t believe in ol Saint Nick, they have their own special Christmas miracle worker, a certain Ded Moroz, who in addition to rewarding obedient children with treats, thrashes naughty ones with a sort of bludgeon, and hence could quite handily kick Santa’s buttt with the efficacy of a hypersonic Oreshnik
Keep communities safe!!
Bit lare for that we are in a death serial of crime and decay.
Another attack on males to undermine biblical guidance and a strong family unit…
Good ole Biblical guidance hey?
•Thou shalt not kill.
•Thou shalt not steal.
•Thou shalt have no other Gods.
•Thou shalt not covet your neighbour’s wife.
Holy shit! That makes 99•9% of politicians and CEOs sinners.
No wonder we’re in a mess.
