Plan B Has Nothing to do with the Great Reset – it’s a Back-of-the-Fag-Packet Bodge

I’ve written a comment piece for Mail+ about yesterday’s ‘Plan B’ announcement by Boris, arguing that it shouldn’t be seen as the final nail in the coffin of those who cleave to the cock-up theory of history. On the contrary, it’s yet another balls-up. Here is an extract:

A friend sent me a message last night after Boris Johnson had unveiled ‘plan B’ at a hastily arranged press conference: “Still think it’s a cock-up and not a conspiracy?”

I can see his point.

After all, how strong is the medical case for the restrictions announced last night?

The number of Omicron cases may be doubling every few days, but what evidence is there that vaccine passports will ‘flatten the curve’?

Germany has had a Covid certification scheme in place for weeks, yet it has a higher number of cases per day than we do.

The Scottish government published a 70-page document last month making the case for vaccine passports, but neglected to include a single scrap of evidence that they work.

Which is hardly surprising, since people who’ve been double jabbed are still becoming infected and infecting others, albeit at a lower rate than the unvaccinated.

How else to explain the fact that daily cases are creeping up, even though, according to the Office for National Statistics, 95% of English adults have antibodies?

If the jabs don’t prevent you from catching the old variant, what hope is there that vaccine passports will stop the spread of the new variant?

Incidentally, the number of Covid patients in English hospitals is falling, the hospital admission rate of Covid patients in England decreased to 6.02 per 100,000 people in the week ending November 28th 2021.

We know from looking at South Africa, where Omicron has been circulating for a few weeks, that those infected are less likely to be admitted to hospital than people who test positive for Delta.

So why the last-minute, panicky announcement?

My conspiracy-minded friend thinks it’s all part of a worldwide plan. He believes that since March of last year the government has been doing the bidding of a small cabal of powerful billionaires who want to control the world’s population via vaccine passports and other bio-security measures.

The problem with this theory is that the Government isn’t capable of planning something 48 hours in advance, let alone 21 months. In a testy exchange yesterday on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Dominic Raab categorically denied ‘plan B’ was being actively considered, only for the Prime Minister to announce it the following day.

I’ve known Boris for more than 30 years and at one stage worked for him when he was editor of the Spectator. I’ve always been fond of him, but the chances of him being enlisted in a global conspiracy by Bill Gates and his pals are vanishing to zero. That would be like planning a casino heist with Mr Bean.

It’s a good line but it’s nonsense. He had huge influence on ensuring Brexit was first voted for and then implemented.

That governments struggle to plan is not that relevant. The accusation isn’t that governments have planned this, but rather that a group of billionaire oligarchs who are obviously very capable of planning and executing to a large scale.

The defense of the cock up theory is getting ever more desperate. Like the attempts of governments, wittingly or otherwise, to subjugate populations to this biotech tyranny.

So-called communism went under because not even governments with their much larger resources and much more qualfied staffs were capable of planning and executing something as ‘simple’ as the economy of a single country sucessfully: The experts were roundly outcompeted by the markets whose chaotic disorder they disdained.

The great reset is an ex post factum rationalization of events people with too little knowledge and too much imaginaton didn’t understand. Everything always goes to plan in this universe because the plan is infinitely malleable, depending whatever turn events happen to take.

North Korea hasn’t gone under. Neither has China, nor Cuba, and even Venezuela staggers on.

The issue isn’t that central planning is dreadful for its victims and that it tends to fail eventually (although see above).

It’s that it can be, and repeatedly is, imposed on them, and they suffer under it for years or decades.

We thought we were different. We thought it couldn’t happen here.

I don’t know anything about North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela but the idea of a centrally planned economy was most certainly abolished in China and actually, even abolished a long time ago. Lone, more-or-less communist holdouts existing in a few places is something very much different from the situation of, say, 1985.

You’re also changing the topic: I wasn’t writing about attempts to execute such grand plans but replying to the assertion that a group of billionaire oligarchs exists who are obviously very capable of planning and executing to a large scale. These supposedly existing billionaire oligarchs (insanely rich pensioners who made a lot of money through luck and opportunism) have nothing better to throw at this problem than the former Warsaw pact states had and compared to these, their resources are negligent (eg, the UK government has almost 8 times more revenue in six months than Bill Gates has money).

The ‘UK government’ is nebulous. The members of the cabinet have a very small fraction of Mr Gate’s wealth, that is what is important.
Anyway its obviously pure random chance that all western governments are in lock-step with how they are (mis)handling this issue. Its random chance they all utter the same phrases at the same time, employ the same tactics etc.
The billionaires you refer to are the benefactors , the financing source. Its the intra-national organaisations like the BIS who call the shots, on their behalf of course, but they have the controlling levers along with the trillion dollar fund companies.
But the point you are really missing its that they believe they are being altruistic. They believe without the new financial arrangement, the financial/capitalist system will collapse. They have to find a way of continuing the financialisation of everything. Governments, CBs , investors and major corporations are convinced without this, there will be a collapse of society and major loss of life and strife.
Its just possible they might be right.

Exactly right. I’m amazed to read this article by Toby Young of all people. Shows a total failure to grasp the reality of what is going on here. Boris’s bungling doesn’t explain the co-ordination of Government actions across the globe, the fear-mongering about a virus from which almost 100% of those who become infected recover, police oppression, the deliberate distortion of the facts about both the virus, variants and vaccines, the Communist(s) on SAGE and the rest. Boris is incidental. The current drive to get rid of him won’t change anything “Covid”. The next puppet (whether he/she realises they are puppets or not) will keep the pot boiling and the plan to change the way we live will continue apace. Toby should focus on highlighting the increasing totalitarian nature of our governance and forget about psychological profiling of Boris or anyone else. Who cares?

They also need to be investigated to find out why the unelected members of the WEF have such influence over our elected politicians. Reflect on the fact that the WEF slogan “Build Back Better” has been displayed prominently on the website of the UK’s Conservative Party, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also frequently used the phrase in his speeches. A UK government policy paper includes the phrase as well.

I don’t believe Pfizer are deliberately trying to kill people. I do believe they have no idea what their product will do in the medium and longer term. It just could have a very detrimental effect.
But this isn’t the point. The point is that by coercion, sometimes subtle sometimes not, people are being made to put their own lives at risk for something that is very minor in the grand scheme of things. And in doing so are being manipulated psychologically so to make it very much easier to the same or worse as time goes by.
Johnson is a very very willing idiot in this process, his vanity is fed by ideas of world statesman etc. Many others are similar.
Control of the populace is the aim, medium aim is the conformity of living standars globally which means reductions in the weatern world.

True, except on Pfizer, they have a much better idea than any of us how dangerous these products might be. That’s why the FDA are fighting not to release their documents, and why they have demanded national assets for indemnification. They don’t intend to kill, in that their primary purpose is profit, but they have absolutely no qualms about killing and injuring in pursuit of profit, and they already know their products can do both, and they are well aware of what might happen in future.

Yes, attributing this to a conspiracy is to ignore the evidence and reject reason.

There is just no way so many apparently different politicians, almost none of whom display any competence, can conspire so effectively but, if the ideas behind lockdown are taught for decades, if any ideas are taught for decades, those ideas must be put into practice.

That is what happened in Weimar Germany and the ideas of Weimar Germany are merely the forerunners of today’s ideas, they aren’t essentially different.

Boris being a bungling fool heading an incompetent government is not inconsistent with the existence of a broader narrative. In fact I would say it forms a convenient diversion.

There seems little doubt that for a good many people, that the jabs can make catching the virus worse.

Thus, I think that the government is anticipating a very large number of ADE-related problems in December, January and February, and are getting their retaliation in early.

They haven’t got a clue I agree……

…….but why do they keep on with the jabbing? Third jabs, jabs for kids and another 114m jabs ordered.

The jabs are bad news all round, so why keep on with the policy? Same with masks.

There will be no more revolutions or rebellions – kids will have grown up under The Mask of Subservience and they will Know Their Place. They will be attached to their smartphones as they will be required to use them for everything – to check-in when they wake up, to check in/out when they go to work / go home, use their phones for shopping such as in the new shops where you just scan your phone and pick up the items you want and walk out (no cashiers).
Perhaps one day, when they get to 40 years old, their phones will tell them to kill themselves, as they are no longer of economic benefit to society. Or their phones will switch off automatically so they can’t gain access to anywhere.

Oh Toby, c’mon. The cure is the same everywhere (passports and mandatory jabs) Do you have a line in the sand? Cos it’s drip, drip, drip (jabs for jobs for care workers, then nhs staff, then probably supporting private business to do likewise) and before you know it we’re drowning under a new normal that is a disproportionate overkill for what is now just a bad cold. Enough. These ‘cock-ups’ are killing people. You don’t need to think it’s part of a plan to see the consequences are wrong. Enough. Do not consent.

The problem with this theory is that the Government isn’t capable of planning something 48 hours in advance, let alone 21 months

Yes, it only took a few hours to set up an entire test-and-trace system including writing all of the software, testing it and rolling it out.

Vaccine passports were also a thing that was dreamt up in a few hours and then rolled out. Luckily, they could just build on the T&T system that someone knocked together a few months before. Someone just wrote a few lines of code and hey presto! A global rollout of vaccine passports starts. No way was this coordinated because all governments are fucking clueless and useless. They are just not capable of planning anything.

It’s just not possible that this was planned beforehand and it is obvious to anyone that it is “just a cock up”

This is totally tangential. Whether it’s Johnson covering his a**e because of parties etc., or a panicked bodge, or pressure from the people who influence him, or even a supranational conspiracy, orchestrated by some clique, or secret society, it matters not.

The effect is the same i.e. the further destruction of the society and businesses of the UK. Johnson is an amoral, lying selfish fool with a propensity to shoot his mouth off just because he likes the sound of his own voice. Like most bullies, a la Flashman, he is both weak and at bottom, cowardly.

Personally, I am tired of people who seek to defend or excuse this, the worst Prime Minister in more than a century, on the grounds that “it’s just Boris”, “it’s a cockup” and the rest.

In similar manner to that actor Baldwin, whether the gun was aimed or not, whether loaded or empty, when the trigger was pulled, accidentally or not, someone died. There is no difference between that, and what this man has done, and is doing to this country and its people.

You speak as though Britain is in a vacuum muddling though the emergency making all sorts of gaffes along the way. But the policies you describe as incoherent and reactionary are the very same incoherent and reactionary steps taken across the west in lockstep; the timings may be a little different and some of the window dressing may vary but the same ‘cock-ups’ are occurring everywhere across the west and every aspect of this crisis, every policy, has led unwaveringly in all western nations towards universal ‘vaccination’ as an obvious goal, via fear mongering, statistical malfeasance, terrorism, suppression of dissent and denial of alternative treatments. We can all see it. You can surely see it. Of course it has been up to sitting governments to carry this out and circumvent or change their respective legal systems to allow it, and that means our roll out… Read more »

They don’t, though.

A far as I’ve seen, while vaxpass requirements for instance have been talked about in most countries, they have been introduced to varying degrees and at different times. Same for lockdowns, masks etc.

In the US, the most important part of the “western” world by far, the Republicans are dead set against mandates, have become ever more resistant to the panic messages, and have just passed a bill in the Senate to overturn Biden’s “vaccine” mandates. Only Democrat resistance can stop it.

And the Republicans will likely control the US legislature after their next elections (next year) and the White House after 2004, so their political positions genuinely matter, over and above the fact that they control executives and legislatures in states that are actively resisting mandates.

All in all, it looks a lot more to me like groupthink, weakness and conspiracies by opportunists and profiteers, rather than any kind of lockstep conspiracy.

And of course no word about how much of that excess mortality is actually attributable to covid (rather than, for example, the anti-covid measures of eliminating cancer prevention and closing hospitals).

I’ve always conceded that for the elderly and/or those with a comorbidity – it’s worth considering. Hence why I supported my 70 year old sister who has advanced MS – and my 96 year old aunt – to get jabbed. For just about everyone else, it presents a greater risk to their health without providing any benefits.

Always happy to answer your questions, ray. 😉

Not really “controlled opposition”, but Toby has to think about where his future salary is going to come from. It’s unlikely to be sustained from DS voluntary contributions. As a cautionary example, there was some “uncontrolled” opposition in Germany whose income streams from supporters fanatics have rather quickly dried up). So Toby, just like the politicians, is simply covering his ass.

Because the same story of “fight against the virus using vaccines” is simply the most convenient one for the politicians to spin everywhere. There does not need to be any grand coordination, just every scumbag following their own self interests. As a thought experiment, imagine that some scumbag would step out of the line and declare “you know what, I think we’ve had enough vaccines and restrictions” (a little bit similar to Boris’ “freedom day) and that they would actually go through with it instead of pretending. Then imagine that their country would actually (and perhaps for unrelated reasons) experience a surge of infections and full hospitals. You can easily predict what would politically happen to the scumbag, (s)he would be blamed on causing all deaths and with the slightest nudging a covidian mob would rise up to oust them out of their office. Just because “pandemic” is such a believable story and that it drives the most base instincts in simpletons. So one could say the politicians are victims as well, except they are victims of their own incompetence (exploited by the vastly smarter business people at the head of big tech and big pharma).

What you need to understand is there is no contradiction. Actually, I’m (slightly) surprised that so many of you are pointing it out as if my posts were somehow inconsistent.

Pharma bosses (and owners of the companies) want to make as much money as possible. They will use all the dirty tricks at their disposal to make this happen. Politicians are working mainly to covert their ass and gain political benefit. The majority of people is believing dumb stories about covid apocalypse and accepting nonsense restrictions.

STILL, in many places ICU wards are full of patients dying from covid. And the vaccines work to prevent this from happening (at least temporarily), and are, from a medical perspective, less dangerous than the covid infection, although simply unnecessary for younger population groups. From a social perspective, on the other hand, establishing the medical terror is way more dangerous than the covid disease.

Is there anything else you need me to explain to you?

I’m aware that the posts can be spun to be internally consistent, with a suitable precise balancing act. What is unusual is that you are spinning in opposite directions, sometimes even in the same post. One moment it’s pushing a view that covid is exaggerated, the next that someone is underplaying it. For instance, here you assert that: “in many places ICU wards are full of patients dying from covid. And the vaccines work to prevent this from happening (at least temporarily), and are, from a medical perspective, less dangerous than the covid infection”, which is an arguable case, but one which very much leans in the direction of the pro-narrative line in its implicit assumptions, interpretations and exaggerations, and the balance of its positioning, ignoring the costs. But at the same time you assert: “The majority of people is believing dumb stories about covid apocalypse and accepting nonsense restrictions“, which is again an arguable (some would say incontrovertible) position, but one that points to a problem your previously quoted words work to exacerbate, by implicitly exaggerating the scale and threat of covid. As you rightly observe: “From a social perspective, on the other hand, establishing the medical terror is… Read more »

Yes- if , according to you, the wards are full of people dying from covid and it is accepted the vaccines appear to have no effect on that, what is the cock-up explanation for almost every government banning the use of Ivermectin ,and/or Hydroxychloroquine?

“Beginning”?

Toby puts far too much faith in his Old Boys Network chums, and if they were the ones making the decisions that might be justified.

They’re not though. They’ve received the same orders as the rest of the EU and Anglosphere, it’s just that Prime Minister Johnson’s husband dragged his heels over imposing the social credit score apps.

Now he’s been reminded who owns him, and that they can destroy him whenever they choose. “Leaked” video = vaxpässen announced the next day.

I wonder if Toby will get it when he finds himself locked out of all of his social media accounts, and instructed to enter his vaxpäss ID in order to tie his words to his social credit score?

Seems not: he’ll still be saying “Oh, this too shall pass, it’s just a harmless misunderstanding. Liberty will be restored any day now, wait and see.”

Which will at least minimise the damage to his score.

The problem with this theory is that the Government isn’t capable of planning something 48 hours in advance, let alone 21 months.

What makes you think it’s this government that would have the long term plan, rather than it comprising useful idiots going along with those who do have an agenda?

The government does plan ahead though, even if it’s only medium term, and that’s seen from the incremental approach. The pattern is clear:

“We have no choice but to do X, on a temporary basis of course, and we’ll review it in a few weeks. We don’t think Y is necessary, as long as everyone falls in line with X. Nobody except mad conspiracy theorists is talking about Z.”

In a few weeks’ time, X has become ‘the new normal’ that nobody except an ‘anti-vaxxer’ could possibly object to, Y has become X, Z has become Y, and the next Z has emerged as a ‘mad conspiracy theory’ that of course the government isn’t considering.

It’s a conspiracy, or at least a coordinated herd instinct now running amok. But those in the driving seats realize that each country presents different systems, people and challenges. The UK has better legal protection and a more liberty minded public than most other countries, Germany and Austria are the polar opposites to it in that regard. Hence, they have to move slower in the UK, but move they do and will. One could also come to the conclusion that Johnson is a roadblock and a mitigating factor too, certainly I did for a while, this might still be the case and for sure he is less fanatic than a Gove or so would be and the lesser evil at the moment, but after yesterday’s ranting lie about the unvaxxed, that they are responsible for the NPI’sand that therefore mandatory vaxxing should be ‘discussed’, it is clear, that it is more likely that he is a true believer and wilful spreader of these pandemic lies and just forced to take a slower route.

Toby had a great anecdote on London Calling a few months back about when he worked at Vanity Fair, and Graydon Carter told him about the seven rooms. Basically GC told TY not to get cocky, he had made it into the first room, and there were six more, where the real power lies. So, Toby, let’s start there. Question: what went on in that seventh room? You don’t know. Because you were never there. So now to today’s piece. Your whole cock-up theory is predicated on your experience of how things work, but here’s the thing, you never made it past the first room. The way you imagine the Cabal works, in some kind of lockstep humourless orders-based top-down hierarchy is as useful as a James Bond movie. This is not a movie. You want to know how it works? Heck you hadn’t even heard of Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope. Not ‘not read it’. You hadn’t even heard of it. But that’s advanced work for those who’ve made it past the first room perhaps. Start simply with RFK Jr’s recent book on Dr Fauci. You don’t need to postulate any James Bond plan to see how this rolls… Read more »

Sure, it’s virtually unreadable, but that’s not really the point. What’s important is who Carroll Quigley was, and his relationship to both the inner circles of the elite, and Bill Clinton as Professor and mentor. If you literally have not heard of Tragedy and Hope, this demonstrates (sorry) that you have not persisted very far into the thickets of alternative history.

You are misunderstanding (or mis-remembering) what has really taken place. Back in the halcyon days of early 2020, nobody in the British government, and especially Boris Johnson, had any expectation of implementing non-pharmaceutical interventions as a response to covid-19. Public health protocols, at that time, very clearly stated that such actions were both ineffective and highly costly. And then Italy happened. We were treated to nightly televised images of overcrowded hospital wards. Grieving families. Desperate doctors. And the excitable Italian government implemented lockdown numero uno. Whether it actually was effective in reducing the spread of covid is neither here nor there. What is important is this: They got away with it. Italian citizens didn’t riot in the streets. Italian civil rights groups didn’t file lawsuits. Nobody complained that their civl rights were being stripped away. The stupid locked-down Italians responded by singing at each other from their balconies. Once that happened, Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, et al really had no choice. You couldn’t have a press conference and say you weren’t going to do a lockdown, no matter how strong the legal, civil-rights, basic human freedom basis for such a choice were. Because if it turned out that… Read more »

That was how politicians were easy to use. But meanwhile the Imperial cabal and the wide net of Gates and Wellcome funded vaccine pushers were creating statistical lies to force them along that path, and it happened in powerful health agencies across the world, and is still happening.

I don’t quite get what you are trying to voice and accomplish with this Toby.
You sound like someone who wants more and better planned restrictions and vaxx passports in restaurants and pubs too.
And this confused argumentation is rooted in your denial of any conspiracy and the cockup storybecoming ever more absurd to maintain, of course.
I am actually now sharing your view of Johnson being the roadblock to the hardliners, so publishing something incoherent like this does noone but these hardliners a favor.

What I’m hearing Toby say is that he might believe the Reset was planned on purpose if it looked a bit more organized and a little less shambolic. So if Klaus Shwabb, Gates and Fauci wanted to pull the wool over the eyes of Toby and those who think like him, that would be exactly how they would play it. Look shambolic and chaotic. Then every little step towards complete tyrannical control is excusable. All the while they publicly explain what they are doing including Prince Charles saying we must seize this opportunity to reset everything coz climate catastrophe. Come on, wake up! These people are not Kindergarteners, they KNOW the vaccine passports do not make a gathering safer. They just want vaccine passports. Oh and hand chipping has increased in Sweden…another conspiracy theory come true? Seems like a good reason why they would be allowed to avoid lockdown, simply because they are early adopters of human microchipping. That too far down the rabbit hole for you too?

I love Toby but he’s been shuffling along sideways along with the political Overton window. He seems to be suffering from a particular form of cognitive dissonance that will not allow his mind to accept the possibility that nefarious actors pushing for an agenda (vaccine mandates to digital IDs) could possibly exist or, if they do, have any influence upon global politics.

It used to be sweetly naive, now i just looks like a psychological impairment.

I agree, and disagree too ! because, the chaos which BJ propagates still fits squarely into the broader category of lackie to the elite plan; the overlying message is still the same. BJ is indeed erratic but only in detail; he is pushed and pulled by the paid up disciples of SAGE, media evidence (which we know is paid-up) and Bill Gates himself, who pays key actors everywhere in Uni, NGO & media

I and many others are very grateful to you for this website, but if you keep writing articles like this people are going to start to see you as part of the problem.

Your article seems to be predicated on the idea that Boris Johnson couldn’t find his arse with both hands, but to the cartel all that is required is a willingness to take orders. Hasn’t he already admitted that he isn’t in charge? How do you explain the fact that governments world-wide are proceeding in lock-step?

As for his being able or unable to keep the party a secret – well, ultimately he didn’t, did he?

You have allowed your friendship to blind you to what is happening in the world. This is a shame as you have a very powerful voice and platform which should be used in defence of freedom, not to support the regime.
