Rare breakthrough of honest discussion into the US mainstream media Ukraine narrative:

Former NATO Analyst and Top UN Official Says This Is the Real Reason for War in Ukraine
Gives me the impression some even in the US media are starting to wake up to how we have collectively been conned by the neocon anti-Russian narrative on the Ukraine, and gaining a more nuanced and honest perception of events there.

That bill in Rhode Island in the USA is interesting, proposing a monthly fine for resisting “vaccination” or for “failing” to have children (of any age) “vaccinated”, along with a doubling of income tax with no set end date. In many countries in Europe, including in Nazi Germany, special taxes were imposed on Jews too.

How many opioid prescriptions are there in Rhode Island? Is it one of the US states where the number of prescriptions for powerful opioids (bought from the Sackler family) exceeds the number of residents?

PS Note to Off-Guardian editors: if an article mentions a place in a country, you should require it to state which country it’s in. I had to check whether Rhode Island was in the USA or Canada. I have had enough of listening to the BBC refer to Joe Biden as “the president”, as if the country he is president of is the only country in the world that has a president, or as if Britain were the 51st state of the USA and they were reporting “home” news.

On Jessica “Euthanasia” Townsend, I found this, in which she describes how she bared her breasts on Waterloo Bridge in 2020 in a protest against the government supposedly not doing enough to stop climate change. She sounds…well, the word is overused, but…she sounds like a narcissist. “One of the well-being support team brought us heat pads to hold in our hands and put into our shoes. I felt vulnerable standing there, unsure what the reaction would be from the passing public. Pedestrians walking over the bridge had time to adjust to what was happening before they reached us. Our posture was often read as a challenge and many in the crowd were uncertain where to look and reluctant to meet our eyes.“(…)“I noticed the tabloid photographers angling themselves to get a shot with everyone’s breasts in a line. This was predictable. What was more interesting was that two of XR’s own male filmmakers and photographers did not meet my eye as they went by, as if they were respecting my privacy.”(Emphasis added.) She flaunts her bare t*ts in public, and what she seems most concerned about is that so few people wanted to look at her. I’d call that a “fail”.… Read more »

Highly credentialed, highly skilled and highly experienced scientists can’t agree on climate change, what chance has this moron, who adopts the usual mental health practice of dying her hair blue/green/pink or whatever, of understanding the first thing about the science of the matter.

I’d be prepared to bet she couldn’t explain the difference between a four stroke and a two stroke ICE.

Even assuming atmospheric CO2 was the sole driver of a warmer climate, mankind’s CO2 emissions would take 25,000 years to warm the planet by 2ºC.

“Unbelievably, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) rubber-stamped the FDA decision to approve a second booster without even convening its panel of external independent vaccine experts.” (TCW).

“March 2021, the UN estimated that almost 230,000 children had died of starvation as a consequence essentially of the pandemic response… in South Asia alone”. (Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, ReasonTV).

The first time, I think, that I have heard the child starvation deaths as a result of the human rights abuses quantified. I want you to think about this number, about how much more the global figure might be, about how much Britain’s response might have contributed to this. Considering that the government restrictions made practically no difference to the tiny number of children who have died of (or with) “covid”, I would like our politicians to tell us how many thousand children they think it is acceptable to kill in their demented efforts to micro-manage a virus, why they thought that policies that have caused huge net harm to children were acceptable. This is sickening and shocking. Never again. BJ can sod off with his threat of future lockdowns, and anyone who agrees with him. Let them all have a very special cake…

Jamie Walden in Bournbrook: IF media organisations such as the BBC wish to undermine the credibility of a figure in the public sphere, they tend to attach a health-warning to their name. Jeremy Corbyn supporters would complain in large numbers about his name routinely being awarded prefixes such as “radical left-wing MP” or “hard-left” by broadcasters and headline writers. These may be accurate descriptions, but when his opponent’s politics were not mentioned at all, there was a clear slant in the reporting to present one side as fringe. Currently, Marine Le Pen, candidate for the French Presidency, at the sharp end of an election campaign, is regularly being described as the “far-right Le Pen” by the BBC. Her rival, the current President, Emmanuel Macron, is referred to by his name only, and one would be forgiven for not really knowing what his political vibrations are based on the same headlines and articles. Le Pen, not considered to be “far-right” by the majority of the French population according to polling, gets a pejorative introduction before she is mentioned. Macron is presented neutrally (and, as a result, positively). This is the problem with sweeping terms like “left” and “right”; even “radical left”… Read more »

Far left is usually an entirely accurate term. Labour party/socialist supporters who prefer a big state and who refuse to admit that it will stop there and descend into communism. Far right is entirely fabricated and entirely in the wrong direction. It it’s supposed to convey images of Naziism and Fascism but these are movements that emerged from the left. Hitler was a socialist, Mussolini was a socialist but kicked out his party because of his extreme views. He joined the right in Italy and was kicked out even quicker before ‘inventing’ fascism which Hitler admired. True ‘extreme right’ wing supporters are people like me who support small governments, the rule of law, low taxes and the responsibility of the individual for their own welfare. That’s classic liberalism or, now, Libertarianism which supports the belief of ‘live and let live’. It does not support the destruction of the welfare state not the NHS but, rather, their reform to what they were originally intended, safety nets, not hammocks. The idea that Putin’s Russia is somehow left wing isn’t supported by the conditions there; a flat rate 14% income tax and basically nothing else, which includes health care. For example, planning laws… Read more »

Why do you think Hitler was a socialist? Because of the propagandistic use of the word “socialist” in the name of the NSDAP, in order to attract a section of the working-class vote?

He received his initial support as an ardent opponent of socialists and communists. On coming to power, he imprisoned them en masse. Large companies like IG Farben and Mercedes-Daimler made immense profits under his rule. They were not appropriated or nationalised.

Italian fascists also attacked and imprisoned socialists, en masse. Why?

On the contrary, EF, Stand in the Park is having a lot of effect. Yesterday our park was filled with a couple of thousand kids and adults for all the Scout, Guides, Brownie, Cubs, Cadets and other organisations, for their annual rally and parade. We met as usual at the bandstand, the very heart of all the action yesterday. They tried to move us but we made a “Stand” and refused. They couldn’t do anything. We put up our yellow banner as usual and quietly stood our ground. The officials from the council were there, including the Mayoress, who took a Light paper from us the day before, at the town’s St George’s day celebrations. We blended in but we also stood out. Our Stand had the most exposure ever, as it appeared in the background of numerous photos. Many read our banner but no one got aggressive. As they say, this is the “butterfly effect”. We also did a huge Light paper hand out to the public the day before, 500 papers were distributed and accepted by the public. In fact our Stand has formed a separate, small, trusted taskforce, that does lots of outreach work in the town.… Read more »

Excellent Helena!

On another thread today Kate posted a PDF by Denis Rancourt – the nub of what he was saying was that there are no cavalry charges coming over the hill to stop what is going on. It will only be obstructed by individuals making their own personal decisions not to comply and to push back against the agendas and plans.

Attending something like SITP is one way of doing it – and a good way to meet like minded souls who also want to push back.

Coming here each day and sharing ideas and information is also another way of pushing back – supporting and encouraging others on here but also anyone else who might visit the site and be helped to see what is really taking place, (and let’s face it, it isn’t a pandemic). Who knows, something that someone writing BTL might be enough to make someone else say, “crikey, they are right and we have all been had”.

A year ago nearly a million people took to the streets of London to protest at the lockdowns. That’s a lot people just at the march not buying the narrative. Think of the millions more NOT there, also not buying the narrative! Since then much is happening to oppose and ecpose their wet dream regime of a future. Let’s stop being doomy, it’s exhausting and debilitating, and it also helps to keep us in low state of mind, of hopelessness, which is EXACTLY how the pig governments want us.

We need to be aware of how well propaganda works so we can do more than just protest. Reminding ourselves there is a team of psychologists who work full-time on this is important. Most are oblivious.

We are the ones having to get the word out. In fact this is one of the easiest ways to make inroads into a normie head, by explaining the government operation to MAKE everyone obey without question the new rules! When you tell them that there were over 40 behavioural psychologists and only a handful of actual medical scientists on the SAGE/SPI-B/ “Nudge” units, you see the tiny blip of shock in their eyes! On another note we’re now getting people who have been jabbed, waking up and wanting to join our Stand now, which we embrace. I think we have a lot to do but we have also achieved an amazing amount, which I don’t think TPTB, in their utter arrogance and, I also believe, ignorance and dismissiveness (because so many of them are) were expecting!

And even for those that did take however many jabs thus far, the injections either don’t do what they’re intended to or any increase in antibodies wane after a few months max, then you’re back to square one. Except you’re not, you’re actually worse off according to the emerging data, you’re now at a distinct disadvantage when exposed to Corona virus ( or others? ) in the wild as your immune system is knackered.

So I really don’t know how much longer they can continue to hoodwink people into rocking up for continuous shots, like on a conveyer belt, making them believe that it’s doing anything meaningful, as the sheeple continue to studiously ignore the real world data that is all around them which contradicts perfectly what the official narrative spews out.

Remember there was great effort by the Behavioural Insights Team to convey the notion that being masked, socially distanced and eventually jabbed and boosted helped OTHERS.

When evidence kept appearing that contradicted the stated aim, that a new activity protected you the individual, they discovered there was more compliance when people believed it helped others.

Pure manipulation of course. But there will be no revelation for the masses. Herd thinking is driving this. Emotional arguments are winning the day. When you refuse, based on hard evidence, all they think is you are not a team player, you are killing kids. You are a selfish bastard.

You’d be surprised Mogwai.

To my mother the nice nurse at the surgery is an authority figure, to be obeyed, and so she dutifully trotted down and rolled up her sleeve.

The bottom line for many of these saps is that they genuinely believe others know what’s best for them, even more than they know themselves. You say she’s “already very damaged by the jabs”, so presumably the nurse knows this and yet still is advising another? No offence but what is wrong with peoples’ brains? I can’t imagine how frustrating that must be. They no longer trust themselves to take self-responsibility, they absolve themselves of that due to outsourcing their critical thinking and own risk assessment to strangers, who are to be blindly trusted just because they are deemed an “authority figure”. Well, it sucks to be them! I’m afraid that as adults, we have to just sit back and let them learn the hard way. They have it within themselves to do their own due diligence and listen to alternative sources of information and voices of reason but they make the decision to not inform themselves.

Nothing at all to do with the ‘care’ received from the good old caring – and protected – NHS, I suppose? The stalwart organisation pushing and administering the ‘safe and effective’ injections.

Masks offer no protection from hay fever – it’s been tried – for the same reason they offer no protection from respiratory viruses.

They allow particles in round the sides, masks don’t protect the eyes, the fabric is not fine enough to prevent penetration of pollen particles (much bigger than virons) in part because after about ten minutes moisture trapped in the mask fabric creates a hygroscopic pressure gradient so particles can transit the mask fabric.

If masks were effective for hay fever, then sufferers would have been wearing them for years now.

There are also positives to wearing masks beyond the protection they offer from COVID-19…”.

One of those positives being all the plastic microparticles that end up in your lungs.

Boris Johnson is not interested in doing anything for Britain and its people. He prefers to stride the World Stage like an inflatable colossus, pretending to car about the people of Ukraine. We should not need to import any skilled worker with all these University Graduates.

Of course university does not really provide that many real skills for the nation. It was just a way of Tony Blair to make sure as many people as possible received a left wing indoctrination.

You can find the following in today Conservative Woman:

“Johnson’s India deal another kick in the teeth for British workers”

So much for “Freedom Loving Boris”.

A new study in the Lancet has found that just one in four patients hospitalised with Covid have fully recovered a year later, the Telegraph reports.’

Could that be because nine in ten patients hospitalised with CoVid are elderly and/or have serious existing health conditions which is why CoVid was serious in them and not others, and recovered from CoVid they will still have their underlying health conditions… I wonder?

Or maybe it’s because they were vaccinated and have had their immune systems screwed up as a result.

I always thought the ‘ngo’ in quango stood for non-governmental organisation?
