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

“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.
Not Pakistan of course, that hotbed of Islamism.
Australia:
Andrew Wilkie warns Parliament that Australia is becoming a police state – 10 years ago!!
.
Sometimes even the hardest cynics and unbelievers have to swallow their doubts:

We need more Andrew Wilkies.
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 ?
Gates, Bezos et al as fat cats?
Nah.
More like morbidly obese BEHEMOTH$$$$$$$$$$$.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…!
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…
