This Easter in the New Normal
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. Babies make you sad and ugly and ruin everything
Easter. Spring. The time of year to celebrate the rebirth of the world and bringing of new life into a freshly green world…
…or not, according to the MSM, who are all rather down on the whole going-forth and multiplying thing.
A new study has apparently found the having children doens’t make you happy, but does ruin your relationship, according to the Daily Mail:
Having children DOESN’T make you happy: Becoming a parent provides no boost to wellbeing, study claims – but it does ruin your relationship
Dispensing even with the pretense of science, BuzzFeed is just straight up reporting anonymous anecdotes:
“There Is Literally No Escaping This”: Moms And Dads Anonymously Confessed Why They Regret Having Their Kids, And Wow
In a variation on that theme, the BBC has a story headlined:
‘Like a trap you can’t escape’: The women who regret being mothers
In which alleged mothers say they would erase their children from existence if given the choice, and describe motherhood thus…
“Motherhood has taken my health, my time, my money, my strength, and my body […] The price is too high, and the cost is forever.”
Just in case you’re missing the finer points of the subliminal messaging: DON’T HAVE KIDS!

2. Unshrouding Turin
A new study on Shroud of Turin has found DNA of many different people, animals and plants on the centuries old piece of cloth. Surprising no one with even the most basic understanding of DNA or how time works.
The New Scientist writes:
Researchers have identified genetic material from a vast range of organisms contaminating the shroud, said to have wrapped Jesus’s body, further complicating the question of the cloth’s true origin
The “question of the shroud’s origin”? That was answered decades ago scientifically and centuries ago by common sense.
The Daily Mail has a separate story, also about the shroud, and headlined:
Shroud of Turin discovery places burial cloth at time of Jesus’ death
Which is just dishonest enough to tip-toe up the line of “lie”, without crossing it.
The “discovery” is a study of pollen from the 1970s. And when they say “places the burial cloth at the time of Jesus’ death”…they mean the time of year. That’s how dishonest the article is.
The pollen is only around at spring time. Which means nothing, since it is documented the shroud has existed for nearly 700 springs, all of which probably had pollen.
Why is this getting – if you’ll forgive a rather good pun – blanket coverage?
The shroud of Turin is not real. I mean, it’s a real shroud, but it was never wrapped around Jesus Christ’s body.
They found red ochre pigment on it over thirty years ago. It’s paint, not blood.
There’s no documented evidence of its existence prior to 1354. For the mathematically uninclined, that’s roughly 1320 years after the crucifixion. This lines up perfectly with radio carbon dating results, which date it to between 1260 and 1390AD
But, more importantly, just look at it:
No human has ever looked like this.
It is not a real face, it is a drawing, a clearly medieval-era painting of a very European-looking Christ, whose hair is somehow hanging perfectly straight around his oddly-rectangular face, despite supposedly lying flat on his back with a cloth wrapped tightly about his head.
With all the real mysteries hanging over the human race, the preoccupation with re-solving a non-puzzle seems like such a waste of time.
It’s a medieval fake, from the golden age of bought-and-paid for miracles. That has historical significance in its own right, but there’s no mystery or magic to it.
3. The Great Kit-Kat Kaper
In one of the more bizarre thefts I’ve ever heard of, some criminal (or criminals) have made off with a cargo shipment of 12 tons of KitKat chocolate, totalling somewhere close to 500,000 bars.
I guess someone really needed a break.
The more I think about it, the more I find it interesting. Why would you do this? Yes, alright, you can sell them for money, but any wholesaler is going to be immediately questioning someone offering massive numbers of KitKits – and ONLY KitKats – at below market price.
Which means selling them a couple at a time, hooking people up with black market chocolate bars in the alley behind a night club?
I just don’t get it.
As an aside, I’ve today discovered that I’m a victim of the KitKat Mandela affect. Apparently there is no hyphen, and never has been. Weird.
BONUS: Traumatising lunch of the week
Spectator Australia has set out to scar a few children with its suggestion of Easter dining…
Eating the Easter Bunny for Easter lunch?
Good luck explaining that to the little ones.
BONUS II: Artistic Injustice of the week
A 20-year-old Australian woman has been found guilty of vandalism and fined A$2000 for sticking googly eyes on a sculpture.
But you can’t tell me this isn’t an improvement…
I think death of the author applies here.
Easter Recommendations
This Easter, we should take some time out to remember a real man who has too often been overshadowed by embellished account of his life published over a century after he died.
That’s right, D’Artagnan.
…who did you think I was talking about?
In honor of the discovery of his burial place I’ve been revisiting my love of Dumas’ Musketeer romances and cannot reccommend them enough. In terms of viewing, no movie or television version has ever really captured the brilliance and dry humour of the novel, but the all-star 1973 version comes closest. A fantastically fun watch for the Easter weekend.
Or you could watch Ben Hur. Again.
*
All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention how “shrinkflation” is ruining Easter just like everything else, Canada “criminalizing the bible” or the renewed debate on Daylight Saving Time.
Happy Easter, everyone. And here’s to a fresh new start.

Other side of the moon pictures looks about as real as the Easter story.
“..who did you think I was talking about? “
Hmm, does this apply to some of the topics which have been pushed !
Is anyone buying this moon shot thing? The BBC “News” just came up with coverage showing the astronauts and none of the photos looked real. Or is that the whole point?
I don’t buy anything in the media and definitely not Artemis. It all looks bogus to me.
“ ..none of the photos look real. “
Any scientific evidence to prove they are not real ?
The scientific odds of achieving flawless or near-flawless execution of protocols and equipment never previously tested in situ is vanishingly small. About 2%.
If Artemis were really doing what they say it’s doing then the entire thing would have been tested exhaustively in LEO and HEO before even attempting this moon-trip. Because the last thing they want is four dead diverse astronauts floating in their tin can for the world to see.
The fact the prep has been so sketchy, sketchier even than Apollo, is a strong signal it’s another fake.
“Scientific evidence”
Ooh I like this one. This is where we punters get to waffle on about the interstitial co-modulation dimension of the outer frangible.
I said the photos of the astronauts didn’t look real. Photos of people nowadays no longer look the way they used to where the photo was reproducing what you actually see. Nowadays photos of people look as if they have been enhanced and “glamourised”.
These are the photos I was talking about and they look as stylised as the profiles on Mt Rushmore:

I am still waiting for an explanation of why a country massively in debt would do such a dumb thing without some itemised short term benefit. Moon shots are for countries with money to waste. Very bizarre, unless it is yet another scheme used to milk the government of yet more cash; this explanation is my current bias.
This is simply evil. Period. No more.

Christianity is algorithmically promoted online as it appeals
to the easily confused.
Nothing special. Without confusion and gullibility, there would be no marketing.
Is “easily confused” the new politically correct way of saying “retarded”?
He is risen!” spread amongst the disciples like lightning. Love caused it to find ready credence everywhere. What had taken place? For the historian, the life of Jesus finishes with his last sigh. But such was the impression he had left in the hearts of his disciples and of a few devoted females, that during some weeks more it was as if he were living and consoling them. Such enthusiasm, always credulous in certain circumstances, created the group of narratives by which it was sought to establish faith in the resurrection. Divine power of love! Sacred moments in which the passion of people possessed gave to the world a resuscitated God!—Ernest Renan “Life of Jesus”
Sure, let’s pretend. I wonder what they will be saying about Lord of the Rings in 2000 years time. How many people will be following that garbage as religion? Same as christianity.

Here’s a real fun exchange, now that we are jesting in a jolly Easter mode:
99% Johnny Graz on X: “Our bad, Joey. We tried “baby-raping, child-sniping, prisoner-sodomizing, first-responder-massacring, toddler-torturing, short, ugly, micro-dicked hellspawn”, but it was just too much typing.” / X
I’m not jesting.
Organized religion is the ultimate mind job. Convince people that there’s an “all-knowing” sky god and you can convince them of anything. The ultimate tool of social control.
“To diminish the worth of women, men had to diminish the worth of the moon. They had to drive a wedge between human beings and the trees and the beasts and the waters, because trees and beasts and waters are as loyal to the moon as to the sun. They had to drive a wedge between thought and feeling…At first they used Apollo as the wedge, and the abstract logic of Apollo made a mighty wedge, indeed, but Apollo the artist maintained a love for women, not the open, unrestrained lust that Pan has, but a controlled longing that undermined the patriarchal ambition. When Christ came along, Christ, who slept with no female…Christ, who played no musical instrument, recited no poetry, and never kicked up his heels by moonlight, this Christ was the perfect wedge. Christianity is merely a system for turning priestesses into handmaidens, queens into concubines, and goddesses into muses.”
― Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume
And yet women somehow don’t object to a Creator God? Go figure female imagination
Women are closer to life. My guess is they have a closer opportunity to universal rule.
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
Originally, deities at all levels of the hierarchy globally were female. Then, patriarchy caught on.
You’ve not looked into the shroud sufficiently. There’s no evidence of paint on it. That was the whole point. And the way in which it was weaved demonstrates its age. The Jerusalem-based pollen just additional proof.
It’s a 3d-encoded image. Which only becomes visible with the discovery of photography. And it’s actually not even an image of a white-haired man…

That’s the one! Well spotted
Whether you are a believer or not, or somewhere in between (as I am), it says something of the power of the story of Jesus Christ that evil is always in retreat at Christmas and Easter. Whether it is family toxicity, petty local evils or genocidal tyrants, they have to take a break. That is something to celebrate. Happy Easter!
Except in the Middle East, where the Israelis are blowing up Arab churches with wild abandon. 😡
That’s where all the kitkats went then!
I am shocked people still believe this Jesus backstory.
The story was fake, but by now, this Jesus fake story should have been on April 1st .
Yes, and it’s people like you who are trying to destroy religion, as evidenced in the article above. You are on the side of the powers that be, doing their bidding, bad-mouthing religion. Congratulations. Make sure they tip you.
Mr. Editor, the KIT-KAT has history and was banned from the UK prison system as
the wrapper was used for drugs, so they changed the inside wrapper, which was the first time ever this had happened.
In the early 1990/2000s, Scottish prison officials and some in England banned items with foil wrappers-most notably Kit Kats and Mars Bars-following reports that inmates were using the foil to prepare, heat, or purify drugs, specifically heroin.
In 2001, Nestlé announced it was switching from the traditional paper-and-foil wrap to a “flow-wrap plastic foil” for Kit Kats,
They like to repeat storys
and as a youngsta certain schools also banned KitKat due to its association with drugs which the media hyped up.
So it WAS banned “To Protect The Children (TM)” !
And if They ban a chocolate “To Protect The Children (TM”) there’s no end to the
list of things They will do “To Protect The Children (TM)”.
Simple. They’re now manufacturing chocolate without cacao beans. To protect the children? Cadbury, Toblerone and other brands are finding it cheaper to manufacture this new goo.
Record high prices and a volatile supply market have seen some confectionery manufacturers explore technologies that create lab-grown, fermented and upcycled “cocoa”.
Now you’ve got me having to check the ingredients list !! You’ve destroyed
my faith, my innocent, my trust !! Isnt it enough i’ve gotta check ice cream ingredient lists to see if REAl vanilla, not some vanilla-tasting chemical, is listed ?
You wanna see the LONG ingredients list on the local supermarket-produced bread. It’s gottren so that i feel “To Hell With It ! I’m gonna die anyway” – as i dont have all day to do some shopping…
Cadbury’s and fry’s, in fact all previously-foil-wrapped chocolate went the same way. Probably just production decisions.
Mars Bars?! Bullshit.
You pick a name that is like the type used by bots and spam, so your comments will be seen as spam by mr Akismet and I will have to release them for you. Might be better to pick less stupid name.
as a 60 year old, I have lost count of the women who have said they had a baby by accident.
AN AHA MOMENT IN A TIME OF REBIRTH
I’ve always thought the great proof that we are being cheated is that technology has made us so much more productive, and yet our standard of living hasn’t improved. Yes, we have nicer cars & tech innovations we didn’t have before– mobile phones & computers, but our standard of living hasn’t really gone up: In the early 60s we were anticipating a 4-day work week. Instead, what we got is the necessity for both parents to work, often more than 40 hours. Better machines allow us to produce more, but clearly the additional wealth is somehow concentrated in the hands of the Epstein class.
I’ve always thought one of the reasons that some billionaires want to rule us is that they know their wealth is the result of crime, of a kind of theft– and if they don’t rule us we’ll take back what’s been stolen from us.
I know you know that our money comes into existence with the debt of interest attached to it. This is the great crime of the “Federal” ” Reserve” system. And so the Great Solution from this point forward would simply be honest money, printed by the treasury with no interest attached, said money not to exceed the growth in production.
However this is only a solution going forward, and we’d still have the problem of all the debt; we’d have to assign it to be paid in part by the billionaires, and the huge remnant just to be written off.
Also we’d have the problem of the billionaires and their corporations still controlling a tremendous fraction of global production. It seems likely that the only way we get to a society in which the Epstein class isn’t set on surveilling and controlling us is to redistribute the wealth.
But one problem at a time: let us look for the moment at only producing a just currency going forward, and defer the rest. What would a just currency look like and how–PRECISELY– would it differ from what we have, and how would we get there?
All the factors that I thought I understood about what’s wrong w our present entrapment — well, there’s another layer to understanding it. And sometimes the Truth will set you free. I feel an Aha moment coming:
How to Survive the “Final Reset” of the Economy
Jeff Booth interviewed by Peter McCormack
It will challenge any imagination we ever had. Which is precisely why we should not have it!!
It is the same model they try again again. “All boys will be feminine and this will challenge any imagination about boys we ever had, and you cant stop it, and you cant do anything about it”.
See the sick vision in these kind of statements?
Its too theoretical. He uses 1 hour of system babbling ‘the system is not natural’, ‘we are looking at it from different path‘. He never resolve anything.
If I at all understand him is that he want us to leave the system. Ok but this has been tried throughout history. Off grid, barter, gold, silver, tulips, Amish, JW, m.m.
Artificial versus cash. Off course we should chose cash at any time.
Actually, Erik, he does have a solution, but I haven’t a clue whether the solution is viable. I think the article is worthwhile because of the depth of understanding it gave me of something that I THOUGHT I already understood all the way down. I find my understanding of what I wrote is much deeper.
His solution is Bitcoin & his belief that it can be defended from TPTB– that it can be kept separate from the dollar, from the federal reserve system, and therefore separate from debt money, interest.
I know nil about bitcoin. I’m tempted to read James Corbett on it, but there’s just no time.,
I watched that interview last week, Penelope. Yes, it is very interesting, whether one agrees with this fellows theories or not.
I, too, know nil about bitcoin, but I am learning a bit about it through watching Simon Dixon, Peter McCormack and a few others.
More importantly, I am learning more and more about “money”, geopolitics, strategy of tension, forever wars, financial industrail comples, tech industrial complex and military industrial complex, and how, though at odds sometimes, they all prop up each other, and really do control things.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRnTbfNgBhg
Dixon’s theories and projections may not ring true for everyone, but they make perfect sense to me.
“Everyone is running around calling Trump crazy…… Trump is middle management….So is Netanyahu” This rings true to me. Trump is not calling the shots – he’s doing what they put him there to do. When that’s accomplished it will be time for someone else to be placed, to do what they want him to do.
And by “they”, I mean the factions within the Financial, Military, Tech industrial complex.
Of course, I could be wrong.
I’m quite confident you’re correct that TPTB are the controllers of many political actors, and that FIC, MIC & TIC comprise most of TPTB. People like the Rothschild’s, Rockefellers & Elon Musk are so exceedingly wealthy that they seem to be powers in their own right.
My knowledge of these powers, their secret societies and their ideologies goes back to before they had John Kennedy killed. I appreciate that Simon & Peter present it as only a struggle for money & power, but this is not the limit of the ambition of many of them: The desire to kill most of humanity has been an explicit part of their intergenerational intention at least since the beginning of the 20th century.
I don’t know why I should mention this, except to ensure that you feel the urgency that I feel to master enough information to find some part of the remedy. We might come back from a surveillance state, but not from what is planned. The most evident proof of this I can offer is the horrific consequences of the Covid shot.
A particularly horrifying part of the covid op was the degree to which they were able to get so many countries to follow the protocol.
I found the link below helpful in understanding the control structure of how this was accomplished. If you look only at the 1-paragraph summaries & keep scrolling down for the next a structure begins to emerge.

The Daily Fail is a mostly nonsense filled newsrag, however I’d say white folk are in decline -births I mean, as well as fertility rates – white folk are the Neanderthals of the future, reproduction wise that is.
As for the Shroud of Turin, I don’t even believe that Jesus existed – never mind a shroud supposed to have covered his face, ALL religions are man made, controlling and divisive.
That so called sculpture looks like a pregnant anteater – rearing up on its hind legs, the eyes definitely make it look more presentable, and at least its not another statute of Baal or Moloch.
Eating rabbit I’d say is a good idea at anytime, never mind Easter, you get little yellow chick at Easter as well, so kids shouldn’t be surprised where their chicken nuggets come from – mind you kids noses are stuck to their phones 24/7 maybe they think they grow on trees – if Gates has his way they’ll be grown in a lab, and made out poison – what am I saying they are already made out of poison.
Alexander Dumas…hmm… I was read somewhere a million years ago, well it feels like it, that Dumas fought a duel, and during his duel his trousers fell down – and everybody in attendance laughed at him – Dumas got the last laugh though, for he went on to win the duel.
I saw Ben Hur as a kid, and the Greatest Story Ever Told – and the Robe, all on the same Easter weekend, boy they didn’t have force it down our throats when I was a kid.

On the Turin shroud thing…”but there’s no mystery (or magic) to it.”
Really, though it may be true there’s no historical evidence pre 13th or 14th century(the strongest piece of evidence against it’s authenticity)….there are still many mysteries, unanswered and unresolved questions.
Too many for such a certain assertion I would think.
For instance a Freedom of Information request was necessary to access the raw data from the 1988 (original) carbon dating of the Shroud of Turin. For nearly three decades, the laboratories and the British Museum refused to release the original data that concluded the Shroud was medieval…but without explanation as to why
So there’s that mystery for one.
Calm down.
Turin shroud was as fake as jesus and nothing magic about it.
You also don’t have to dig very deeply to see how (just like with viral identification) the science isn’t quite as robust as often claimed:
1. Contamination (The Biggest Issue for Cloth)To date a piece of cloth, scientists must measure the carbon inside it. However, cloth is highly porous and absorbs materials from its environment.
And in fairness, conversely…
2. Fluctuations in Earth’s AtmosphereCarbon dating relies on the assumption that the amount of Carbon-14 in the atmosphere is constant. It is not.
Because of changes in solar activity (sunspots) and fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field, the amount of Carbon-14 in the air has varied throughout history. Therefore, an object that died in a year with high solar activity will absorb different amounts of carbon than an object that died during low solar activity.
To fix this, scientists use “calibration curves” (comparing carbon dates to ancient tree rings). However, this calibration process creates ranges, not exact dates. Sometimes, due to atmospheric wiggles, a single carbon measurement can actually match three entirely different time periods!
I don’t hold an opinion on the shroud. I just dislike it when science is used as as definitive proof when the facts mean conclusions are far from definitive.
Nice puncturing of all this surety on both sides.
The only succour during this Faith Less Time during which we live is Conspiracy Theories… Even The Shroud must be analysed, dissected, subject to cynicism & skepticism, and nailed down (aka – crucified) by Science !!

Edit by Elvira admin for typo
Anti-immigration? Anti-vaxx? Pro-Palestinian?
This guy is great! How precisely right can you be?
The Daily Mail tweeted their anti-kid message with this:
“Having children DOESN’T make you happy: Becoming a parent provides no boost to wellbeing, study claims – but it does ruin your relationship”
An AI “corrective” said
“The referenced study found parenthood has a small positive effect on sense of purpose (stronger in women) but no significant effect on happiness or life satisfaction, and slightly lower relationship satisfaction. It does not claim parenthood “ruins” relationships.”
The irony is that the corrective seems even more inhuman than the original tweet. The arrival of a whole new human life has a “small positive effect on sense of purpose” for the one taking custody of this momentous event? Also the unfortunate custodian feels “no significant effect on happiness or” (and here comes the truly brutal solipsism) “life satisfaction”? The unhappy recipient of this troublesome new arrival even experiences “slightley lower relationship satisfaction”?
Our wretched “science” itself is couched in utterly selfish solipsistic terms where all people are regarded as totally isolated monads.
Trust “The Research” !!
Dunno about the shroud of Turin, but the shroud of obfuscation forced upon us over the last 100-150 years
needs to be DESTROYED as soon as possible.
