This Week in the New Normal #112: “What we’re not talking about when we talk about Epstein”
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. Facial Recognition Rollout hits London
The British Transport Police are launching trials of Live Facial Recognition tech in underground stations in London:
Today we’re launching our trial of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology in London.

Isn’t that smashing and convenient? That means they can track all the criminals, fare jumpers – and, of course, everyone else – wherever they might go.
And don’t worry about it, you almost certainly won’t be one of the people who gets misidentified.
2. Universal Basic Income on the horizon?
This week, Ireland announced a new scheme that would see the state pay artists a wage. This “basic income for the arts” plan is only the latest development in the UBI narrative.
This comes hot on the heels of a British government minister claiming UBI will be required after AI displaces thousands and thousands of jobs.
And the great protector of free speech, Elon Musk himself, has been talking up a future of “optional work”, and Nobel Laureates are agreeing.
Watch this space.
3. France banning open fires
By the end of the year, huge areas of France will have totally banned the usage of wood-burning stoves, open fireplace or both. The penalty for ignoring the ban is a fine, which varies by area, but doubles and doubles again for repeat offences.
Want to burn your own wood in your fireplace in your own house in Lille? That’ll be 1500 Euros. Merci.
And why? You don’t need me to answer that – it’s because of pollution and climate change and all the rest.
Most specifically, there’s the “growing concern” of indoor air pollution, which was a talking point at Davos last month, and has been a minor issue for over two years.
It’s a very serious issue, and not even slightly a pathetic excuse to hoover up more personal data. That’s why places like Abu Dhabi, famous for it’s humanitarian record on wellbeing and human rights, are deploying sensors to monitor pollutants. To keep people safe.
…ordinary everyday things are polluting your indoor air, and did you know many diseases can linger in the air for AGES?
Transparent stuff.
4. Store loyalty cards could save your life
Surveillance could spot your cancer early. That’s the line.
Major retailers using your loyalty cards to monitor your shopping habits and sharing that data with the NHS could spot the early warning signs of cancer, apparently.
A major study of 3000 volunteers is taking place, using data from Boots and Tesco, and working with “experts” at Imperial College (It’s always Imperial).
From the Mail:
Now experts at Imperial College London are working with Tesco and Boots to see whether data from their Clubcard and Advantage programmes can save lives.
They believe each form of the disease will have its own pattern of purchases, such as the frequency at which people buy painkillers and indigestion medicine and cut back on – or start to buy – certain foods.
Cracking this code could allow the NHS to catch more cancers earlier, when treatment is cheaper and much more effective and the chances of survival are greater.
A previous study by the same team found that they could successfully use shopping history to detect ovarian cancer eight months before a full diagnosis.
Their expanded study comes ahead of the publication of the Government’s National Cancer Plan on Wednesday, outlining how ministers hope to slash cases and improve treatment.
Oonagh Turnbull, the head of health and sustainable diets campaigns at Tesco, said in a statement:
We hope that with the help of our customers across the UK taking part and volunteering to share their Tesco Clubcard data, more lives can be saved by detecting certain cancers early, building on the success of the first Cancer Loyalty Card study.’
Do you guys think this new study will find that we should monitor people’s shopping habits?
Because I think it just might.

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention Russia’s “spy pigeons” or the UK rejoining the EU.
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.

Police are investigating a Labour Party campaign event where voters were told to hold up posters “if you want to get fed”.
The party faces allegations of attempting to bribe voters at a dinner organised for members of the south Asian community as part of Labour’s campaign to win the Gorton and Denton by-election.
Greater Manchester Police has confirmed it is investigating the event for alleged “treating” – the electoral offence of bribing voters with food, drinks or other benefits in exchange for votes.
The dinner was held at a restaurant and wedding venue in Manchester on Wednesday and hosted around 600 people, including Lucy Powell, Labour’s deputy leader, and Lord Khan of Burnley.
Attendees were asked to support Angeliki Stogia, Labour’s candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and were given a free meal.
Labour sources claimed the event was not in breach of electoral law, because the rules against treating allow “ordinary hospitality”.

Labour Party CAUGHT BRIBING VOTERS: Gorton & Denton Election
Jarmain Unfiltered
Feb 17, 2026
MANCHESTER – Footage has emerged of Labour MPs seemingly offering free food to vote for Labour candidate Angeliki Stogia in the Gorton & Denton By-Election.
I would vote for anyone who gave me beer and free meal.
A country in which immigrants can buy not only a seat in the “upper” house but a pedigree like Lord is a true democracy. 😉
They used Macdonalds in USA 😉
One whopper and I am yours.
Many things may be a distraction and it’s very good to be reminded to stay focused on everything. However, the Epstein connections pervade multiple layers of government, corporations, etc. to the highest levels and across countries, so it is very important to pay attention to the Epstein Sex Trafficking crimes and demand justice. Sex trafficking of children is used to blackmail and control people that dictate what happens in our society from pandemics, legislation, mass-surveillance, etc. So, it is important to be organized, recognize the attempts to distract and stay focused on all. As the UK Column said in its 2/16/26 news (not verbatim), there is a reason they are trying to suppress this information and confuse us with how it is released.
When they use data for health, I have to wonder if that is also to increase insurance costs for those eating unhealthy.
In the U.S., there will be mandatory kill switches in new vehicles that the government can shut off, supposedly for drunk driving. Not only is this a NO for privacy reasons, but safety concerns are an issue. So, they are gonna just turn a car off in traffic, leave someone stranded, etc.? Hmmm. I never heard of Leo before this story (link below), so I can’t vouch for him yet; however, I am grateful for this article. He posted this in Jan and I just found it last week. I have not heard anyone else in independent media discuss this (not on what I review, which is a lot, but not as much as others), which is quite shocking, as this is another huge breach of freedom & I suspect will tick a lot of people off – to say the least.

Facebook wants to put facial recognition into it’s Ray Ban smart AI glasses! The AI smart glasses w/o facial recognition is a horrible violation of privacy, but now they want to do facial recognition! Since 3 links will flag my post, I found that at the Futurism dot com website.
I see people write about or hear them discuss, line in the sand and/or hill to die on. We’ve been long past that point before any of us were born.
I keep thinking of the experiment where people think they are electrocuting someone (they aren’t) and they keep pushing the button, even though the actors are screaming out in pain. I don’t want to be the one pushing the button because it’s status quo – I choose out & am wrapping things up for that path. I am not going to commit crimes to try to stop crimes. I am not for a means to an end. I am for an end to the means.
I’d say more on that last paragraph, but considering most people have already read and commented I will save that for another post. I tried to post yesterday, but it said my post was too long, yet it was under the character requirements??? I sent Off Guardian an inquiry and hope they will please respond soon, so I can understand what I did incorrectly or if it is a system issue. Many thanks!
Peace and Love!
This is rather blatant agenda pushing lol A2
The experiment is called the Milgram experiment. He made 18 similar experiments and they all showed the same: 65% plus of us are conformists who are willing to everything if some Authority is responsible and command us to do it.
That’s it! Thank you, Erik! I did not know he did 18 experiments. I am going to look into those.
65% is high. I am honestly surprised that percentage isn’t higher. Glad it’s not!
It is. I just wouldnt go into details. But 65% is the average. If people are in uniform, public service, the % goes up to a whopping 90%.
So somewhere between 65-90% would participate in Abu Ghraib torture and the like, if an isolated situation happened and their Boss told them to do it.
We could also say only about 10-15% up to 25% are able to say NO and take a stand. These figures also fits with the latest Corona vax issue.
Good point about the corona vax issue. If we think about paying taxes, even though we know the atrocities those go to, it is near full compliance + other capitalism engagement. I like knowing how the mind works, so I can catch myself and hopefully prevent myself from falling into traps and hypocrisy. Thanks for this exchange, Erik!
As the dust settles on Bangladesh’s 13th National Parliamentary Election, with the Election Commission (EC) declaring the 297 candidates elected to our parliament, a major source of disappointment remains: the systematic lack of women’s political participation. While a total of 85 women contested the polls last Thursday, including 66 with party nominations and 19 as independent candidates, only seven have been elected.
Well done CIA.
Brave seven women.
Well stated Antonym: “Well done CIA.”
May I add: With the help of Jeff Bezos!
I recently commented on the Bangladesh elections re: an article ‘Consortium News’ wrote about them. It mentioned a January 22 article that Jeff Bezos (Trump-supporter/Tech- Oligarch/military-space contractor/overall Amazon arsehole) published in his CIA-conduit, the ‘Washington Post’, just prior to the elections. In short: CN stated that US intentions supposedly had back-fired in trying to sway voters, and had ACCIDENTALLY! thrown the election to the Hindus.
I couldn’t help but point out to CN that what most likely was actually the case, is that the WaPo ‘story’ was a “false flag” planted by the CIA in the WaPo, since the ‘accidental’ outcome actually benefits US interests the most, geopolitically, in the whole of the Asian region, and even cozier relations w/Modi.
The old “bait and switch”: The “bait” illusion that the US(CIA) was not involved, because the new virtuous US had “switched” to loving Muslims!
Since Pakistan was included in same ‘story’, I pointed out that since its very inception as a newly-minted “independent” country torn off of India in 1948, it has been operating as an on-going US proxy dictatorship-state, hell-bent on blood-shed, and the assassinations of almost every puppet dictator it’s installed.
So was it ‘accidental’ that CN “moderated” my comment directly into the trash-bin?
It wasn’t accidental, yet was most appropriate, that the above should happen shortly before the WaPo’s “Democ(k)racy Dies In Darkness” light was purposefully extinguished!
Not one criminal will arrested due to the cameras. They are all about control and the digital prison being set up.
I wonder if thay have heard of bio fuels , true chopped down and made into pellets and shipped half way around the globe!!
But Jean Michel is the crmunla because he burned a few logs to keep warm.
When does the revolution start?
Jean Michel caused 500 socialists to die because they bypassed his unlawful home-furnace and were sniffing polluted logs from this guys home.
Is it more important that Jean Michel keeps warm, or is it important that 500 socialist dont die? Just asking a question.
Dont answer with some anti-science conspiracy theory.
i’m willing to wager a pound-to-a-pincha-shiite that the facial recognition camera data will be collected by a company alligned with data-Centres in Israel as is everything else concerning data-privacy. Someone please prove my suspicions wrong.
What’ll ya wager that yer database record will contain a property identifying the target as an anti-Semite [y/n]…
That said, I expect all non-Israeli Zionists will be flagged as anti-Semites.
STORE LOYALTY CARDSYou got be a twat to shop in Tesco’s, it sell’s absolute shit.
Most of the people look in-between downs and retarded that go in there.
Well, dang, it’s a good thing you all talked about this shit instead of the Epstein files. I can feel the progress toward liberty and freedom just oozing out of it. Good direction by the blog puppeteers.
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?
Also, just wtf kinda transparent agenda pushing is this, Big Al? Why all this contrived sarcasm and weird complacent attitude? Careful you don’t out yourself too much lol A2
Part of me resonates with this, but I’m still glad I took the Red Pill – instead of the blue one.

FACIAL RECOGNITION ROLLOUT HITS LONDON
goodie, this mean good quality terrorist attack videos at last.
You can be sure that when anything ‘big’ happens, the facial recognition cameras will go the way of the CCTV, and mysteriously be switched off or be found to be faulty. ‘We want to catch the bad guys… no, not that bad!’
When was the last time camera evidence from a police station or prison was used in court for the death of anyone?
Exactly. The idea of police wearing bodycams, and cameras in law enforcement facilities, is based on the concept of a technological “Fair Witness”. Theoretically, or ideally, the cameras are supposed to provide objective “best evidence” of actual events, as opposed to subjective and self-serving or biased witness accounts.
I’m sure that official written policies provide for strict checks and balances to ensure that obvious abuse of this technology will not occur.
But in practice, it seems obvious enough to even a moderately skeptical or cynical observer that an absence of recordings that are unfavorable to the police can be easily explained by variations of the familiar “Oops!” excuses common to high-tech equipment: “somehow the camera(s) wasn’t working”; the video files were lost– the hard drive crashed, or gremlins inexplicably deleted the recordings.
Of course, videos that vindicate police action will prove more reliable. 👮🏻 📹 🤨
Another Munich Security Conference:
https://news.sky.com/story/the-end-of-the-world-order-as-we-know-it-what-the-munich-security-conference-means-for-the-uk-13507983
Amusing to see Germany lamenting the death of the rules-based order while still doing nothing about the blowing up of Nord Stream 2.
Rubio played “good cop” to Vance’s “bad cop”. However, the message was the same. It’s that Pax Americana is not going to abandon Europe to Globo-Maoism. Hence, the torching of the Huawei 5G network, the blowing up of Nord Stream, the demolition of the Climate (Net Zero) agenda, the support of free speech, and the highlighting of the current battlefield – i.e. genocidal, replacement immigration.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Munich Security Conference (Transcript)
February 14, 2026
In a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people. We made these mistakes together, and now, together, we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward, to rebuild. . . .
The fundamental question we must answer at the outset is what exactly are we defending, because armies do not fight for abstractions. Armies fight for a people; armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way of life. And that is what we are defending: a great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history, confident of its future, and aims to always be the master of its own economic and political destiny.

Secretary Rubio delivers remarks to the Munich Security Conference
U.S. Department of State
Feb 14, 2026
Isnt this a bit self-contradictory? On one hand we should keep migrants out of our countries to preserve ourselves, on the other hand we shall conquer all other countries people?
The contradiction is inherent to the human condition. “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”, etc. Or is it “God” who dictates? If so, whose god, whose bible? Is it written in the book, the stars, or the hearts? Whose thinking, reasoning, perspective, interpretation, vision, funny feeling? How is “good” and “bad” to be decided?
There are ethical dilemmas. Do we fight or turn the other cheek? Do we slay (or be slain by) one’s own kith and kin? Is that question inherently racist? If so, is racism necessarily bad? Shall we go forth and multiply? On genocided land? Ditto from before.
Maybe evolution decides? Greed is good? The will to power? Or maybe manifest destiny?
From my own perspective, however, the liberty to ask such questions in the highest good. Moreover, that same liberty seems to correspond with the capacity to enforce. As the man with the plan said: “It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.”
we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration
The oligarchs, not “we”, open the doors everywhere, just as they cause the vast tragedies in the source countries. The excuses and means don’t matter as long as wages go down.
That’s who he’s addressing. And where he’s presumably speaking from. They’re all in the same club!

Orwell’s Newspeak is one step closer to reality.
“Tech giant Apple has quietly paid nearly $2 billion for a “pre-speech” tech company whose employees helped Israel commit genocide in Gaza.
In the second-biggest deal in its history, Apple paid this money for a company that doesn’t have a product, doesn’t have any revenues and whose website is a single page containing 15 words.
The company, Q.ai, is developing sensors which map the imperceptible movements of a human face to determine the words someone is thinking before they’re spoken. They call it “silent speech,” or “pre-speech” — and it appears to be exactly as sinister as it sounds.”
Apple buys Israeli ‘pre-speech’ tech firm implicated in Gaza genocide – The Grayzone
Whatever it is, at least it tells us what is going on in their own minds. They want to crawl into people’s brain and be it’s host.
The goal of Newspeak – is to control what you can, and cannot say to limit critical thinking by outlawing it.
This is the world of Alice In Wonderland. Australia paid several billion $ to US for “nuclear” subs to be delivered “later” for “defence”. Last year, we heard that US would get Korea to build them. A couple of days ago, we heard that Australia itself would build facilities to build them. Trump has been extorting Japan and Korea for hundreds of billions of $ in “investment” or payments he personally controls.
Yes I commented on that further down the thread – Paul Keating an ex-Aussie PM said the AUKUS deal was a complete rip-off – and for the huge amounts being paid for the few nuclear subs – Australians could’ve had 20 diesel subs that would better protect Aussie waters.
I wonder if they spied on writers who post articles on here.

Sky News Australia has Lefties Losing It:
OFF Wokain has this week in the new normal.
No research, no journalism, just pure reposting of MSM Plus news and regurgitism as real news to the naive viewers OUTRAGE PORN:.
Anyone with a brain cell (sorry editor, this doesn’t include you) knows
The UK has had facial recognition tech in underground stations in London and all over for decades: the camera on trains.
If this is too complicated for the OFF Wokian readers , if it is able to read your number plate/bike plate, it can read your face.
The millions of cameras on buses, train stations , CCTV all over the cities, and even the electric bike hire scan your faces, and every city cab by law has to have CCTV in the taxis, especially if they want those school-run council contracts.
HEY , try this: ask a cabbie. Not rocket science.
Hey try, this get your bike nicked, or phone stolen and see if there able to use the top CCTV FACIAL RECOGNITION to find the person/s? they cant, It is fear porn to keep you (good little citizen) in line to be scared of doing anything.
Another OFF Wokian MSM Plus fear porn. My terms are this :
When MSM Plus stops accepting PayPal , all major credit cards , every different crypto going, and
patrons, then they can give advice on UBI as they all get UBI via the different donations they have on their sites which most of it is paid via the MIC to repost theses horse manure as true story’s.
This is up there with trannie apocalypse they sell via the digital MSM Plus madness.
Like the UK and EU, there is and will not be the police force or OPEN FIRES check police to visit people’s houses or woods and check if they’re using/burning wood.
Pure woke-right MSM Plus tosh.
Report open fires at all hours. Same-day payment of anonymous reward to your account in a day. Even if you were the arsonist who started the fire!
More British of today: Water bankruptcy new newspeak word. The UK Water Companies claim 85% of all water is polluted.
A very fine and expensive Research Report looking with one eye down in a microscope shows 500 socialists have died because of 85% of all the globe’s water is polluted.
Only 15% of the global water is noble and fine enough to the British Labour Socialist Party, why we must have more taxes and funding.
https://theweek.com/environment/water-bankruptcy-climate-change-scarcity
They need to stop making super data centres and the one commodity they use is LOTS OF WATER YO KEEP THEM COOL and starve the local population of water, the same water they won’t be able to get enough of.
Our tap water is now disgusting compared to 20/30 years ago.
Clean it. Your tap water should not be for drinking, but only for surface areas.
I always buy mineral water for drinking.
If I have to drink for example rainwater I boil it first or put chlorine in it for all safety cases.
You can also buy water filters which can clean it, much used in sail yachts for ocean going trips.
It remains somewhat astonishing how blind the gen pop are still fixated on the just so narrative that , by virtue of awakening or awareness at the awfulness revealed in the Eps Files , representative governments self righting mechanisms will require a metaphor(course correction, clear out, Nuremberg 2.0 etc etc)
Meanwhile the regimes agenda is moving faster and more easily than ever before as the total tech slavery grid falls into place around the diligent voters, to perfection!
The control system is perfect in a way mankind cannot fully grasp because it is the work of a preternatural intelligence.

The linked article quoted is from the BBC and although on the face of it is warning about misidentification it is actually a subtle propaganda piece in favour of AI facial recognition cameras.
How did Rajah clear his good name? By having to to give more of his biometrics to a third party company, in this case ‘Facewatch’
Furthermore, Sainsbury’s admit Mr Rajah the victim was “misidentified” not by the AI but by “human error”, ie their staff.
At the end of the article Rajah helpfully is quoted as saying:
Nowhere in the article did it suggest that Mr Rajah – the victim – tell Sainsbury’s to go fuck themselves, since he is not an offender. No threat to sue the store nor take his custom elsewhere.
Instead he rolled over and like a good IngSoc citizen accepted being guilty until proven innocent.
The takeaway for the casual reader is that humans are at fault and not the machines, so if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear.
Sneaky.
Thanks for your summary, I never click a bbc link.
You hit the nail on the head!
If you want your 15 min. of fame – or even 10sec. on TV – conform.
At the end of the article Rajah helpfully is quoted as saying:

This is partly due to racist data used for training and poor video quality. But just as for the jabs that saved us, let us not wait for perfection before spending public wealth.

There’s no escaping these pertinent points below – when it comes the article above, and other articles that point out what’s happening – and what’s coming.
“Most people don’t want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
Also people will accept convenient lies if it does not disrupt their life”
There is substantially more than usual local opposition to data centers and their ilk in the US. People who never gave a shit seem to be coming out, writing letters, contacting congressmen.

George Orwell was British. 100% pure and only British.
Orwell was born in India.
You are right. Without socialist India he could not fully had grasped the story.
More like colonial India – India was a colony of England’s until around 1947 – Orwell died in 1950 – its thought England stole roughly $65 trillion’s worth from India – in the time it held it fast as a colony.
And look at it now…the world’s turd bowl
See my 3.11pm comment.
It is even said, they did it with only a handful of Brits down there.
The Indian sheep were easy to handle and manage, and India ended as today the most indebted country to world bank and closest ally to Israel.
I never really found out what India is doing, other than shitting on the streets. With all respect.
India under the very astute politician Modi – is a powerhouse – Modi is sly enough to play both side off against each other, Modi buys Russian oil and sells it on to those fools in Europe at a profit – Modi is close to Bill Gates – and the Indian agricultural field is worse off for it.
Trump wants Modi to stop doing deals with Putin, but Modi does what he wants – and there’s not much the US can do India isn’t Venezuela its has nukes, and a very large military force.
Dismiss India at your peril, I say.
He’s not right. Where you are born is raised is a geographic issue, not a biological one.
So what. How does that change his lineage? Did India impregnate his mother?
True…and a visionary…so unlike most of his fellow countrymen who are bleating sheep.
Obviously shenanigans, not me…
Something mad hit there…
Must have been a mad hella affect.

NEXT PLANDEMIC: 3,625 Biolabs, Half of which are in the US
73% do not publicly disclose their locations or pathogen activities
Nipah is 40-75% FATAL in outbreaks in Bangladesh.
Nipah Virus patents show a sustained effort to engineer, functionalize, and embed Nipah’s G (attachment) and F (fusion) glycoproteins across successive mRNA vaccine and vector platforms.
CEPI is pouring millions of dollars into Nipah self-amplifying mRNA injection development. -more- :

Nipah is hyped up .. what exactly kills those people?
Toxins and malnutrition
Fuck your vaccine bullshit
No, it’s Nipah that kills them, and it’s stupid of you to assume that I am FOR “vaccines.”
Exactly
The henipavirus G and F glycoproteins were synthesised/engineered and patented well over a decade ago — by the US military, no less.
These two viral-entry proteins are shared by both Nipah virus (NiV) and the closely-related Hendra virus (HeV), so a vaccine against one is expected to be protective against the other.
The soluble G protein is the basis of the commercial subunit vaccine against HeV, which has been available for use in Australian horses since 2014 (in limited use that year, fully licensed in 2015). It is marketed by Zoetis (formerly known as Pfizer Animal Health).
While not commercially available yet, Merial (now part of Boehringer Ingelheim) published a small study (9 ponies) in 2016 of a canarypox viral vector HeV vaccine they made which expresses both the G and F proteins. It would be expected to protect against NiV as well.
So, there is absolutely no need for a modified mRNA vaccine — not when the G protein subunit and the G+F protein viral-vector vaccines can do the job.
In addition, a monoclonal antibody product has been developed for prophylactic use in humans exposed to HeV (e.g., via a sick horse). It appears to be highly effective, although it’s hard to say, as HeV infection in people is rare (only 7 cases since 1994) and the number of deaths (4) too few to calculate a reliable, generalisable mortality rate for HeV in humans.
Same goes for NiV. Far more human cases globally each year, but the morbidity (serious illness) and mortality rates vary widely from study to study.
Lots more to all this. Here is a multi-page, multi-part look at the science and politics of HeV in horses and humans:
Hendra: why not just go ahead and vaccinate?
It may have some lessons for those who have not been living with the spectre of this “deadly virus.”
Oh, and just to finish with a cherry on top, the latest ecological study of HeV in Australian bats (flying foxes, fruit bats) has DARPA as its two major funders. Yes, that DARPA.
Thanks for the summary. I understand that there’ve been cases directly from bat to human, w/o the horse intermediary. I suppose the gain of function stuff is to make it human-to-human.
I agree that, absent biolabs and their gain of function, Nipah is a big nothing.
However, given the thousands of biolabs & the insistence of TPTB that a “pandemic” is coming, Nipah is a possibility.
“I understand that there’ve been cases directly from bat to human, w/o the horse intermediary”
Not as far as I’m aware. All of the documented human cases of HeV infection have involved close contact with an infected horse (living or dead).
It is theoretically possible for a human to be infected directly from close contact with bat secretions/excretions, but you’d have to have pretty lax hygiene standards, as the virus needs to contact the membranes of the nose and/or mouth in sufficient quantity to be infective.
The authors of the seminal viral-challenge study in horses, the one needed for vaccine licensure, conceded that the amount of live virus they used to induce infection and illness in an experimental setting was way higher than any reported in field studies of bat secretions/excretions.
Horses are a deadend host, but the very sick ones may amplify the virus sufficiently that human HeV infection is perhaps more likely with close contact (e.g., veterinary treatment or nursing care of a sick horse). But 7 cases in 32 years? Yes, let’s panic. All together now…
On the other hand, Nipah virus can and does transmit directly from bat to human, and from human to human, especially close family contacts (spouses, family member nursing a sick relative, etc.). That’s the wild-type virus; no need for a frankenvirus.
I agree that NiV may be the next scary shadow on the wall. Since doing a deep dive into HeV, starting in 2019/2020, I’ve been noticing the occasional scaremongering item planted in the US news media — starting or accelerating during covid — that, together, appear to be preparing the ground for a NiV panic in Western countries.
Monkeypox didn’t work. Ebola hasn’t worked. So, now maybe they’ll give Nipah virus a try? It is endemic in some Asian countries, so there’s the added advantage of xenophobia baked right in. Monkeypox had gay men as the boogeyman; Ebola had Africans; Nipah has Asians…

More broadly, I have been curious about the narrative regarding “the next pandemic.” The last global pandemic was over 100 years ago, and credible arguments have been made against many of the deaths being attributable to a purely viral disease. What makes our current “public health” authorities think that the next pandemic is just around the corner?
The stock answer is collapse of wild ecosystems as wild habitat is lost at an ever-increasing rate to human activities. The story goes that this habitat loss makes zoonotic infection from wild animals to humans more likely, as it increases contact between humans and wild animals.
But that gives absolutely no thought to the fact that, when habitat is lost, so are the wild animals who inhabit it and rely on it for food, shelter, and other essentials of life and reproduction.
So, I’m pushing back against the notion of “the next pandemic.” It is the (or at least an) original sin in this entire pandemics-for-profit-and-control business and governance model. Nothing that comes after that phrase is worth spending much time on, when the entire foundation is a lie.
Chris, Please understand that I am not talking about a natural pandemic, but a plandemic. The “pandemic” that people like Gates, Fauci, Albert Bourla, Peter Hotez, Peter Marks, Ashish Jha, and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesusinsist insist is coming is because they are determined that it should occur. Hopefully it will again not be deadly, but only something like the exaggerated covid intelligence operation. Although with so much work on gain of function one cannot rule out something more severe this time.
There was no pandemic
Agreed, there was no pandemic. That’s the point of its being a “plandemic”. I know some people think there was no virus at all; presumably that’s what you think. Others like me think that there was an engineered virus having only slightly different characteristics than the usual “flu”.
We are in agreement that the point of the plandemic was to practice lockdown and especially to get many people to take the often killing and disabling mRNA vaxx.
We are all further in agreement that the PCR test was fraudulently used to “prove” the presence of the virus thus exaggerating the number of people infected. Further, that hospitals were incentivized to use harmful treatments which often (reportedly USUALLY) killed the patients.
Remdesivir (nicknamed “run death is near”) was one such treatment.
Just one of the reasons I think that the virus was real, although exaggerated:
“The pathophysiological and anatomical features of COVID-19–related lung infection are different from classic ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), for which invasive mechanical ventilation is considered the standard of care. Covid-19 is primarily causing injury to the capillary endothelium instead of essential injury to the alveolar epithelium.1 Lungs affected by COVID-19 show marked ventilation-perfusion mismatch but preserved compliance,2 making the recruitment maneuver and the use of high positive end-expiratory pressure potentially harmful.”
https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(20)31128-9/fulltext
Yes, I do understand that. But it’s still useful to understand how naturally occurring pathogens might be used as a spectre, and as a spectacle.
No need to put the time and money into creating a monster if one already exists. And if a natural thing can be made to seem really scary, then so much the better!
Fear of Nature has been a pervasive theme in human and animal health fields for… probably forever. As we saw during covid, it is a highly effective tool for managing people and getting them to do the most unconscionable things.
Chris, the thing that concerns me most about human/nature interaction is that we have so greatly reduced the insect population. Insects are food for birds & fish & reptiles, and I can’t help but feel that there may be consequences that we’re not yet aware of.
I see very very few birds. It used to be when you drove in the countryside for a couple hours your windshield was covered in smashed bugs– and we had so many large flocks of so many kinds of birds.
Now you can drive all day and the only thing that hits your windshield is maybe a tumbleweed.
Obviously I wasn’t sufficiently clear. How’s this:
–Gain of function on Nipah BAD
–CEPI spending millions on mRNA vaxxes for Nipah: BADD, as it means they expect to make money on the investment.
If Nipah is fatal and it happens in India, China and Africa areas, people will not care.
What a boring psycho life to sit and plan bs like this in both laboratory, university and corporation facilities. Arent there any humans more?
Penelope, please check out Dr Sam Bailey’s work on “gain of function”. Spoiler alert, it’s bullshit. They can NEVER isolate or see a virus let alone make it bigger / better / more deadly or whatever.

Question: Do virologists and immunologists know how to make people sick?
Even if people get sick, it’s from poison or malnutrition, not “viruses”, which have never been isolated or proven to cause disease. Most of the papers will talk about either petri dish experiments, animal models with exotic routes of “infection”, or computer models of genomes of suspected pathogens. It’s BS for gaining more grant money.
Okay, lets say that’s so, not viruses. Then what exactly are all the people employed at these “biolabs” etc. actually doing? Are they all just droning away at something they know is bullshit? Are they trying to cure disease and sickness, or are they working at creating it? Or both? Or something else entirely? Surely they aren’t all — 1,000’s of them — motivated solely by money?
A better question would be do they know anything about health? Or if they know what causes cold / flu like symptoms. The answer of course would be No.
Do they know how to create cold/flu like symptoms?
Agorista, gain of function was already well-known in the 50s. The original technique was to pass the virus thru different species, which affected its natural variation. In fact, I and many others were injected with a polio vaccine which had been passed thru monkey glands– the result of which is an increased rate of particular cancer species.
I tripped upon this info in my research of John Kennedy’s assassination, and efforts to find the perpetrators of the plot. Lee Harvey Oswald was involved at the edge of this gain of function work when he was assigned to “babysit” a very bright young girl assigned to help Dr. Mary Sherman in this gain of function work. She was subsequently murdered. (TrineDay books’ Dr. Mary’s Monkey) .
At any rate, gain of function work and some of its techniques were already well-known in the 50s, and being practiced in New Orleans at the time of President Kennedy’s death. I am familiar w Sam Bailey’s work; thanks for the links.
Even the idea that one cannot see viruses is false, as this is possible using enhanced darkfield microscopy. However, even if we could NOT see them it would not prevent gain of function. Long before we could see bacteria we could trigger a bacterial infection or prevent one. So it is w gain of function. The techniques have been known a looong time.
Last point first – loyalty cards are a form of monitoring what you buy and when you buy it, could it be in the not too distant future, if they don’t like what you are buying they could block you from purchasing it.
Tesco’s already has facial recognition technology, the second you enter the door – it scans your face, lets not forget it is an Israeli technology to spy on Palestinians – in Scotland the colonial admin is putting in place government payouts for artists – its not unsual for colonies to be testing grounds.
UBI will just be another layer of control, we’re being spied on and corralled more and more to be controlled at more and more levels – several countries are in the process of testing a CBDC – when that kicks in and it will, we will be on a short leash financially as well.
Ban, restrict and monitor is what lies ahead of us.

Love this segment. Reminds me of the Omni Magazine column called Continuum. Miss that magazine. I can’t imagine what today’s articles would be about. Lost my ability to focus on the Magic Eye image for some reason. Must be going “mental” in my old age. Favorite tidbit was why toast always landed buttered side down when accidentally pushed over the edge of a counter top. Based on the height of your counter which is based on the average height of people. Unless you live in Holland. Then it always lands buttered side up…….. Have no idea if that is true…… The toast in Holland part. People are taller so counter tops must higher. Again. No clue if there’s any truth to that. I miss that magazine. Hard to believe so many people had been abducted by aliens….. L. Ron Hubbard must have been a ghost writer for them.
Hey Hemlockfen,
My bro used to get Omni..
Alan Burnham – Science Fiction
Worked the night crew at the local grocery during graduate school. Read the latest issue of Omni during break. Night manager did not care. He did the same thing. Could not afford to buy it. Newly married. Graduate School. Making a TA stipend of 200 bucks a month. Free tuition on my own classes. Government assisted rent (70 bucks a month, as I recall). Wife, who was hot as hell, was propped up on high chair as a teller in the branch bank on main street making minimum wage in short dresses. She flashed glimpses of her panties occasionally as she handled transactions. The entire town went to the branch bank to cash their checks every Friday. She was always stressed because there was always a huge line. No time to be careful about holding her dress in place. Bank President, Leonard Archer, loved it. I digress. Where was I again….. Newly married to the most beautiful woman I have ever known. Never would have had time to read an Omni magazine at home…… We could not keep our hands off of each other ……. Sorry. Omni magazine and the smell of sex. Not happening.
I know some people who say they were abducted whom I personally know without a doubt to be lifelong con-men.
I know. Always fun to read what an oddball can create his mind. Weird part about it is that it never gets old. More oddballs than ever telling new stories.
These weren’t oddballs. They were con-men. They knew they were lying. We knew they were lying. We grew up with them.
Didn’t mention the bird brains, typical.
