\"Why\u201cWhy it’s time to think differently about COVID\u201d<\/h2>\n

Thus spake the British Broadcasting Corporation (otherwise known as the world-famous BBC) in what can only be described as a complete reversal of their previous government controlled narrative.\u00a0 Two fascinating rationalisations packed with implicit admissions of faulty COVID policies can be found in https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-57678942<\/a> and https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-57725523<\/a> with the presentation of the rationale for our bold new approach which will be an example to the world.<\/p>\n

No longer are we, the British people, being fed with terrifying stories of a rapid \u201cdelta variant<\/em>\u201d that will jeopardise all civilisation as we know it, rampaging relentlessly through our British-Asian central belt (it was originally called the \u2018Indian\u2019 and \u2018Nepalese\u2019 variants).\u00a0 Gone are the long, lingering TV shots of burning funeral pyres in India, with the subliminal message \u2018it could be here next week unless you all mask-up, stay at home, do not travel outside your local area, do not hold the hand of your granny as she is dying – these sacrifices we must make, for there is no such thing as \u201cI\u201d now, only \u201cwe\u201d\u2019 <\/em>(quoting The Guardian<\/em> newspaper and its middle class intellectuals reflecting on how the pandemic has helped us realise that Lenin was right all along, \u201cthere is no private with us, all is public\u201d<\/em>).\u00a0 Gone are the \u201cmask-up\u201d jumbotrons at the entrance of the supermarkets; gone are the \u2018minimise travel\u2019 on every motorway electronic sign, soon even the \u201cwork at home\u201d order will be \u201cscrapped\u201d like a wore out Mercedes.\u00a0 Suddenly, what was unsafe, will now be safe.<\/p>\n

Thus, this begs the question, has the BBC and all the various strands of British polity suddenly developed some testicles and are standing up to the government?\u00a0 Have they become anti-vaxxers, joined the ranks of the conspiracy theorists, stopped quietly changing their previously published stories justifying the initial lockdown after the fact when it was clear they were propaganda (you can read about that here<\/a>), have they suddenly become COVID-deniers\u2026no, no, no this is because the government-controlled narrative has had to abruptly change for a number of reasons and they are demonstrating just how government controlled they really are.<\/p>\n

The British government finds itself in hot water for all sorts of reasons, and as the BBC articles both state, they are going to be \u201cdoing it different<\/em>\u201d, by embracing infection, hospitalisations, deaths and \u201cliving with COVID<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 Apparently now, wider infection is a good<\/em> thing, it helps natural <\/em>immunity build-up in the population (sure I heard around April last year some irresponsible Swedish immunologist was saying the same thing and got rebuked by his political masters and even the King of Sweden stuck the boot in).\u00a0 Apparently, opening up our economy, scrapping working from home, partying in nightclubs and packing us in, shoulder to shoulder in Wimbledon for tennis and Wembley for football is cool again. \u00a0Apparently, according to our chief medical officer, hospitals can now cope rather than being threatened with being overwhelmed in his statement last week.<\/p>\n

Thus, if you are not careful, you might think they have finally seen the light that refusing to lockdown and believing \u201cherd immunity\u201d was the best way to deal with the fourth wave of the virus (ignoring the little detail that the virus is actually now many different viruses, and it is now questionable whether the name COVID-19 is even applicable).\u00a0 However, the reasons for this \u201cthinking differently\u201d about COVID are actually much more intriguing and in the case of the morals of some of our experts, more salacious than would appear at first blush:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The \u201cHealth Secretary\u201d who had issued all sorts of edicts and orders locking people down with \u201cinstructions, not requests<\/em>\u201d, encouraging people to inform on their neighbours, mandating the upload of films taken with your phone to anonymous police websites for \u201cviolations<\/em>\u201d, banning contacts with relatives in care-homes, masking up young children, banning weddings and funerals (with exception made for the dead person), was busy breaking his own rules having a down and dirty sexual relationship with his aide, you can read about his transgression here<\/a>. That said, he must have taken his cue from Professor Ferguson of Imperial college, the most holy one of international renown, the original architect of our lockdown and expert witness to the US, who did exactly the same way back in April last year, barely a month after his widely sensational and inaccurate analysis was dry off the dot-matrix printer and locked us all up, with the BBC retrospectively editing his wild and over the top exaggerations when they thought no one was looking (thankfully, I copied and pasted the original article).\u00a0 Of course, for the philosophers amongst us, I am being ad hominem<\/em> here, and it might not have any logical bearing on the merits of what they were both doing but my point would be, both of these are now exposed of at best, hypocrites and they could not have really<\/em> believed<\/em> what they were telling everyone else to do or they would have done it themselves.\u00a0 They abused both their power and position, getting their jollies at watching a nation being locked up because they<\/em> said so.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. The British government incorporated, the business entity representing the financial abstraction of the government business, actually went \u201cbankrupt\u201d without anyone noticing except a few \u201cin the know\u201d financiers in the City of London. The reason being, they employed a common technique used by large corporations to separate their \u201cassets\u201d from their \u201coperations\u201d in two different legal entities so that if your business fails, the creditor cannot get your assets and is left with the crumbs from the liquidation of your failed \u201coperational\u201d arm.\u00a0 You can then perfectly legally recreate the \u201coperational\u201d arm of your business in a new corporation and continue to trade, your debt dissolved \u2013 if necessary, rinse and repeat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Of course, when it is the government who is both the creditor and the debtor, you can just go bankrupt, create another corporation with no liabilities and start borrowing all over again as long as the financial markets think you might one day<\/em> give them a return for their money.\u00a0 This is like running up an enormous student debt and then being allow to open up a new account at a different bank, and just by changing your legal name you can pretend you cease to exist, by law people are required to believe that and the \u201cnew you\u201d is \u201cdebt free\u201d.\u00a0 If someone comes chasing you, you are legally allowed to deny you ever borrowed, that person ceased to exist as a legal entity two years ago.\u00a0 You might think this is utterly ridiculous, but this is one of the many bizarre ways \u201ccorporations\u201d are, by design, able to function (as we all know, they are also entities designed to make lots of money for those that run them by operating transnationally and also pay negligible amounts of tax \u2013 this is the big fuss in the G20 at the moment).<\/p>\n

      However, as indicated in the background above, this cycle of bankruptcy and re-financing relies on the indulgence and complicity of the financial institutions.\u00a0 The condition is that they believe they are more likely to get their money back if they refinance you (continuing our student debt analogy, your “potential earning power”<\/em> means your prodigal living can be forgiven), but you can bet the insolvency did not go unnoticed in those transnational banking organisations that issue those \u201cAAA\u201d credit ratings so coveted by governments to finance that very same borrowing on the financial markets. Let us remember Greece was destroyed within a matter of weeks when they lost their \u201cAAA\u201d rating after their 2004 Olympic spending spree, their bailout means they send vast quantities of money to Germany from their tourist hotspots to stay solvent, even today. \u00a0Now that Britain has left the EU, they will be unable to access any European Central Bank support for their economy so there is more than a little nervous looking over the shoulder by our government on this issue.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Without us trading again, we cannot afford our enormous furlough bills where we pay 75% of wages for no work in return \u2013 we are heading for meltdown, social and economic, so think differently we must!<\/em><\/p>\n

      Those are compelling reasons in their own right as explanations for a change of heart but we cannot just dismiss the rationale offered in the articles themselves for this change. \u00a0In both articles, you swim through the vaccination \u201csuccess\u201d story which is the main reason given for why we can legitimately \u201cthink differently\u201d.\u00a0 The first problem with this is circular reasoning, the admission is that no one else in the world is doing what the British are doing and we are already assuming what we are trying to prove with our \u201cgamble\u201d has worked.\u00a0 In fact, the rest of the world are all rather watching us to see if the \u201cvax to the max\u201d strategy will<\/em> work.\u00a0 The level of this rhetoric is rising to the deafening level now, all sorts of workers and trades are being threatened with mandatory vaccination or \u201close your job\u201d, some of us might be going to jail for refusing to be vaccinated. \u00a0However, more seriously, and this is the main point for those of us opposed to these \u201cvaccines\u201d, is that what is claimed for the vaccines and the vaccination programmes is just plain inaccurate and collapses under any kind of scrutiny.<\/p>\n

      Most obviously, the \u201cdelta\u201d variant actually claimed more lives amongst the double-vaccinated (62%) than the unvaccinated which is a predictable outcome of mutation that is accelerated by mass vaccination to favour vaccine resistant variants.\u00a0 In coded admissions from the CDC (the US has a \u2018statute of limitations\u2019 so the truth has to be released to the public to guarantee the guilty can escape prosecution in the years later when truth finally gets out \u2013 for more information, watch the Julia Roberts Hollywood hit film of 2000 Erin Brockovich<\/em><\/a>).\u00a0 The unofficial position is that it seems now that risk outweighs benefit for a substantial proportion of most age-groups – both the American CDC and the British Chief Medical officer have admitted the \u201crisk\u201d of blood clotting and damage to the heart, including premature death and neither<\/em> is no longer pretending the vaccinated will not die:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Britain was well over 1000 post-vaccination deaths two months ago (bizarrely this was sourced from a Japanese news report from a Japanese citizen living here as it was completely unreported in the UK).<\/li>\n
      2. Many thousands of \u201cadverse reactions\u201d reported through our Yellow Card system and the CDC data dump has alarmed critically minded physicians in both countries that risk is outweighing benefit, and the vaccination programmes should be suspended for most age-groups.<\/li>\n
      3. British Airways reported problems with dying vaccinated pilots because of clots \u2013 this would be funny if it was not so serious \u201csorry your flight will not be landing as planned because the pilots have expired<\/em>\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What should be abundantly clear is that under any sane reckoning the medical threshold of halting the various rollouts has been broken by the reports of adverse and serious reactions.\u00a0 In any other era, the rollout would have been halted and the vaccine reworked \u2013 as has been the case with every other attempted coronavirus vaccine, none has ever been proved successful or safe.<\/p>\n

        Consider the contrast that a few months ago virtually no<\/em> risk was admitted, and protection through vaccination was virtually guaranteed<\/em> as a way of getting your normal life back. \u00a0We had what can only be described as religious posters all over the UK with serene multi-ethnic panoramas and the inspiration, \u201cevery vaccination gives us hope\u201d<\/em>; in the interests of fairness check the official line here (but have your puke bag ready), https:\/\/www.theoystercatchers.com\/videos\/nhs-every-vaccination-gives-us-hope<\/a> .\u00a0 Most blatantly, this is now shown to be a hollow misrepresentation and deliberately ignoring the inevitable mutation of the virus into variants that would require different vaccines faster than you can develop them.<\/p>\n

        The basic fact about Coronavirus virology was that it was only a matter of time before the weight of variants renders any vaccine programme superfluous.\u00a0 New, allegedly \u201cserious\u201d variants provide a great ongoing income stream for the now buoyant vaccine industry of in excess of 200 companies but, as the BBC articles unwittingly admit with graphic and all, most variants will quietly slip into the winter \u201cflu\u201d figures and any vaccine will be about as useful as the not very useful \u201cflu-jab\u201d that I get annual reminders to have, and I politely decline \u2013 I do not need the government giving me the flu and me passing it on via shedding of vaccine artefacts.\u00a0 As is still the case, the best defence against any<\/em> variant is a programme where you strengthen your immune system by losing excess weight, eat properly (both quality and quantity), exercise and reduce alcohol and\/or drug consumption (medical or recreational).<\/p>\n

        We can confirm this because as the WHO have noted, flu apparently disappeared entirely in 2020 \u2013 it thus takes a creative bit of statistical chicanery to provide any justification for the lockdown strategy in terms of mortality.\u00a0 I remember a BBC article from the winter noting \u201c60000 excess deaths\u201d \u2013 that was the absolute best they could do after 9 months of pandemic and that only because Public Health England had been caught (by an Oxford academic) rigging their figures by 300%.\u00a0 He drew attention to scenarios like someone dying six months after they had COVID was classified as a COVID death, regardless of what they actually did die of.\u00a0 Factor out the error-bar and this creative accounting, you really struggle to demonstrate any<\/em> excess deaths.\u00a0 The new revisionist articles from the BBC clearly indicate that \u201c20000 flu deaths\u201d is normal in a bad winter and, check this out, \u201cno one suggested restrictions then<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 Just think about that and you realise how totalitarian lockdowns were and are.<\/p>\n

        It was a bit like the argument over cancer clusters near nuclear power stations in the 1980s, it all looked really plausible until you analysed the data closely. \u00a0As noted by rebel doctors, weak people died from Coronavirus because they were going to die anyway from the first illness they caught.\u00a0 The overall mortality rate is <0.3% (i.e. survival rate post-infection >99.7%) and this only because the exception being for the frail elderly where it peaked at 5% pushes the average up) and for U21s there is less than a 1 in a million chance of it being a fatal disease. \u00a0It makes no sense under any<\/em> such circumstances to risk vaccination in young children and adults under 40 where the risks are now known and understood.<\/p>\n

        Additionally, what is undeniable is that there are now spikes in deaths from cancer and other nasties that have always killed far more people than all the respiratory diseases combined because people were unable to access routine care or primary care services \u201cin case they got infected with COVID\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 As one doctor commented, this turns all normal medical practice on its head \u2013 you get treatment early, so you do not<\/em> get seriously ill. \u00a0Hospitals were overloaded not because of the severity of the disease but because the primary care sector became completely dysfunctional \u2013 anyone suspected of COVID was banned from the doctors, and because you could be an \u201casymptomatic carrier<\/em>\u201d that meant virtually no one could see a doctor for routine checks or treatment. \u00a0\u00a0Thus no-one could access early treatment, so they got really ill and for those who were medically compromised, it often became a fatal illness.\u00a0 For those now dying of other preventable conditions which got out of hand because of the lack of access to physicians, not catching COVID is probably not much of a consolation.\u00a0 To repeat, the management of the disease was anti<\/em>-medicine. Yes, we really do need to think differently about COVID as the strategy cannot bear any kind of rational, scientific scrutiny.<\/p>\n

        To put the exclamation mark on this, simple generic, proven drugs such as HCQ and later Ivermectin were known to be effective both prophylactically and in the early stages of the disease; in the case of HCQ they were validated in 60 years of use, by over 200 studies and yet were outlawed on the basis of big-pharma sponsored fake papers in the world\u2019s most prestigious medical journals.\u00a0 It was an absolutely unprecedented situation, and the same journals had to withdraw 2 out of the 3 studies because they were just plain fake when actually examined by peers; with the third study author subject to criminal investigation, accused of poisoning patients with intentionally toxic doses.\u00a0 As was noted at the time of the exposure of the deception, simple treatment means no vaccine mega-money and no political \u201cGreat Reset\u201d that is supposed to make the world a greener, fairer place.<\/p>\n

        This socio-political value of the pandemic for our \u2018Great Resetters\u2019 can hardly be overemphasised as Schwab\u2019s WEF, the Rockefeller strategy document and Justin Trudeau all announced to their listening public in their different ways. \u00a0This central control of an economy (this time by synarchy, mega-corporations working with international leaders), political censorship and \u201csocial credit\u201d were being presented as virtuous and visionary rather than as the oppressive and bloodthirsty monsters they were shown to be in the 20th<\/sup> century.\u00a0 Similarly, getting rid of cash has long been an aim of visionary humanists in the name of social cohesion because your digital citizenship can be cancelled by a government agency should you dare to think against the interests of the designated \u201cright\u201d way of thinking that promotes the common good. \u00a0It sure is time to \u201cthink differently about COVID\u201d by recognising the pandemic as a pandemic of fear used to manipulate and control nations into stripping citizens of their freedom and their rights to live independently of government control and encouraging economic dependence on those same governments and transnational megacompanies.<\/p>\n

        Our supermarkets now have teeming ants picking and packing shopping ordered on amazon, amazon super-site warehouses are popping up all over the UK; meanwhile the local shops and businesses have shut, bankrupted by the inability to trade.\u00a0 This synarchic form of state-capitalism (that could equally be called Chinese style communism) is emerging where a few mega-companies supply all our needs through their monopolies, and we have no choice but to use them.<\/p>\n

        Surveillance technology and curtailment of liberty suddenly became legitimate in the name of staying safe. \u00a0Citizens in our UK could be arrested for being in a public park outside of permitted exercise periods, and provision in law was made that they could be renditioned to \u201cre-education\u201d camps if their attitude to the pandemic was deemed \u201cincorrect\u201d. \u00a0Nothing was excluded, thermal surveillance and contact-tracing were a \u201cnew normal\u201d. \u00a0My crusty old android phone from 2015 suddenly received the first update in years, providing a tracking framework ideal for any government agency that wants to know about me.<\/p>\n

        Similarly, the most enduring sociological characteristic is the breakthrough of the idea of a \u201cvaccine passport\u201d<\/em> that grants services and access to facilities for citizens on the basis of a government issued pass.\u00a0 By any other name that is systematic discrimination and totalitarian coercion dressed up with the words \u201ckeeping you safe\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 I believe it was one of the American founding fathers, William Penn, who said governments would and have always justified tyranny against their citizens, stripping them of their freedoms, under the guise of \u201ckeeping them safe\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 It is no wonder there is a statue of this guy on the Philadelphia Town Hall, he had it nailed.<\/p>\n

        The true nature of the COVID-beast now lies plain before us all, we should think differently about it with 18 months of violence against the free citizens of the world by their governments. \u00a0A juicy quote in yet another reformist BBC article<\/a> from the last couple of days shows how gloriously communist they have been in their response to and management of COVID:<\/p>\n

        \u201cBehind the scenes, government scientists are broadly supportive of the lifting of restrictions.\u00a0 But one area of particular concern is the policy on masks.\u00a0 Not because mask wearing in some indoor settings will dramatically alter the course of rising infections, but because of the message it sends out<\/strong>.\u00a0 The feeling is that it gives the impression infections no longer matter, and encourages people to think about themselves rather than others.<\/p>\n

        Communication and messaging is key during a public health crisis<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        So, masks have no real benefit in \u201ckeeping you safe\u201d but are advantageous for \u201ccommunication and messaging\u201d which we should read as \u201cmanipulation and conditioning of the public to believe a lie\u201d.\u00a0 Truth has really become that of Plato\u2019s protagonist, \u201cwhat suits the powerful at the time\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

        For those of us who hoped science may defend us, it has been evident that far from science being a tool that helps us retain objectivity and to overcome prejudice, it has been prostituted to generate justifications for tyranny and the politicians reciprocated by ensuring those \u201crebel\u201d scientists that did dissent from the \u201cmessaging\u201d and \u201ccommunication\u201d were fired or banned from speaking.\u00a0 Dissenting medical practitioners from the US with decades of experience as surgeons or as specialist doctors, even WHO approved, were labelled \u201cterrorists\u201d, and banned from entering the UK. \u00a0The actual data now available regarding the effectiveness of lockdowns is blatant, particularly in the US:<\/p>\n

        \u201cDespite all of California\u2019s restrictions on churches, businesses, and citizens, the COVID-related statistics \u2013 including infection and death rates \u2013 has been significantly higher than other states with far fewer regulations.<\/p>\n

        \u201cFlorida has been open for months,\u201d said Staver. \u201cRestaurants have been at full capacity since last fall, and we haven\u2019t had any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Dire predictions of school-centered outbreaks didn\u2019t materialize, even though children have been back in classrooms for months. Businesses in Florida are also open and the tourism industry is flourishing, especially in light of vacationers fleeing locked-down states elsewhere in the country<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Certain sections of the UN are equally as damning in their assessments, particularly those involved in relief work.\u00a0 The worldwide death toll from COVID was estimated at 3.5 million and that was \u201cofficial\u201d figures, as bloated as they could be.\u00a0 At the same time, the economic fallout of the restrictions placed on global trade were estimated by the UN<\/a> to have put around 300 million (some estimates go to 500 million) into extreme poverty and starvation, with a billion, yes a billion<\/em> now impoverished worldwide.\u00a0 Many more will die from starvation and disease because of lockdowns than will ever die of COVID<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 It is also a great tragedy that suicide amongst the young, who have negligible (as 1 in a million) risk from COVID, has spiked as people have socially become isolated and depressed by stay-at-home orders and the loss of their employment.<\/p>\n

        However, what was by far the biggest shock to me as I spent the last three months of 2020 researching the COVID pandemic and the worldwide response to it, was that this was a rehearsed<\/em> and planned <\/em>event.\u00a0 This would sound like an Orwellian delusion of a conspiracy theorist if it had not already<\/em> happened:<\/p>\n
