News Round-Up
- “What Covid? UK’s daily hospital admissions and deaths fall again” – Daily U.K. Health Security Agency data show another 11,076 people tested positive over the last 24 hours, down by a tenth in a week, with hospitalisations down over a quarter to 926, the Mail reports.
- “How Sweden’s Covid gamble paid off: Scandinavian nation has suffered fewer deaths in pandemic than majority of Europe – despite defying scientific advice by refusing to impose strict lockdowns” – Sweden, which became an international outlier when it refused to shut down society to limit the virus’s spread, logged a lower death rate than many European nations that imposed strict curbs, reports the Mail – though be warned the story is based on the highly dubious WHO modelled mortality estimates.
- “Choice Quotes from Bill Gates’s New Book” – Jeffrey Tucker reviews the billionaire’s pandemic tome for the Brownstone Institute.
- “First ever double-blind randomised trial of Vit D for the prevention of Covid infections” – HART reports promising results and says we should be looking at prevention as well as cure.
- “Meddling with modelling” – HART criticises the Canadian modelling paper that claims the unvaccinated are a threat to the vaccinated as “an amoral, unethical and utterly transparent attempt to use pseudoscientific modelling to fabricate a false narrative”.
- “Xi Jinping sends warning to anyone who questions China’s Zero-Covid policy” – China’s top leader has issued the strongest warning yet to anyone who questions the country’s Zero-Covid policy, as stringent, frequent lockdowns fuel public discontent and deal a devastating blow to the Chinese economy, reports CNN.
- “Why the sneering, vaccine-mad Telegraph has lost this reader” – Dr. Frank Palmer on TCW Defending Freedom has had enough of being insulted and smeared by the uncritical pro-vaxxers at the Telegraph.
- “After Putin’s war in Ukraine, another La Niña drought is the last straw for global food supply” – Putin’s imperial misadventure has probably left several hundred million people facing chronic malnutrition, writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph.
- “Civil Rights Lawsuit Filed Against HHS over Race-Based Medical Care” – A federal civil rights lawsuit was filed against the Department of Health and Human Services for its push to “inject race-based decision making into our health care system”, including offering financial incentives to health care providers who implement critical race theory-based policies at their practices, such as racial prioritisation for receiving medical help, reports Breitbart News.

Homeland Security’s “Disinformation Board” is Even More Pernicious Than it Seems “The trend here could not be clearer: Western governments are seeking greater and greater control of what information is and is not allowed on the internet, and are using both formal power (the force of law) and informal power (threats of legal and regulatory reprisals) to force tech companies to censor the internet in the name of fighting “disinformation.” For that reason, whoever wields the authority to decree what does and does not fall into the scope of that elastic, vague and ill-defined term has immense power to control what information populations around the world can access, and conversely what information is barred. That is what makes it so disturbing that Homeland Security has just seized this power for itself. An agency with a long history of lying, run by life-long disinformation agents, has just created a board to issue these official decrees, all overseen by a person who is so partisan and ideologically motivated that it is hard to take her seriously. Whether or not you take her seriously, the power that Homeland Security has just secured for itself is anything but a joke.” And Rand Paul is… Read more »
Bravo Rand Paul. We are going to need – and need desperately – public figures like him to cry from the rooftops about this.
In its way, this entire campaign against “disinformation” is an acknowledgement of the influence of sites like this one.
The Toby Youngs of the world (and I wish there were more of them, too) don’t have to be people with whom we always agree or people who have the same interests and priorities.
They provide a public forum in a world which is seeing them dwindle at an alarming rate; they arm people with material for discussion, debate and dispute.
Our governments want our obedience, but they’ll settle for our apathy – as people find the “news” less and less interesting, and shy away from discussions that might bring them into contact with the disobedient.
No need to demonise Russia, Putin does that himself.
They’ve seen us all talking away now for over two years and they want to put a stop to it because we have seen some major shifts and awakening – but not enough for the much needed avalanche. So, what better way than to categorise anyone who goes against ‘the science’ (ergo government ergo big phrama ergo NWO) as spreading disinformation or misinformation. A danger or menace to society. Someone who is irresponsible. A granny killer no less. If you complain or contest a ruling, it’ll disappear into the vast apparatus and you’ll be flagged up as a ‘problem’ with a view to possibly taking away all your posting/internet rights once Digital IDs are in place. HOWEVER, they can’t stop us printing or talking in the street, yet, or wearing T-shirts or singing songs with appropriate slogans. We must all put our shoulder to the wheel. They are afraid of us and a mass awakening which they would be unable to stop even with their armed cohorts. I think it’s high time arrest warrants were issued now. We have the evidence, we know who the criminals are, so what are we waiting for?
Has this been verified?

Via Google news, I found this at Rady Johnson Arrested – ABTC
“Since joining Pfizer in 1994, Rady held multiple high-level positions in the company. Rady previously lead the Regulatory Law practice group as well as the Corporate Regulatory and Healthcare Law Audit functions.
“Keean Bexte, an independent journalist formerly employed by Rebel News, pointed out how 1,223 people died within the first 28 days after taking the Pfizer jab. There are reports that the vaccine killed all the animals during the trial.
“A judge has granted a media blackout at the request of Rady’s lawyers, and Google is suppressing search results. Rady faces life in prison if convicted.”
If they have this right, the suppression is not entirely working.
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is a man whom I would not have previously thought of as too stupid to be unaware of the background story to what’s happening in Ukraine.
If anyone is to blame for the coming food crisis, it will be us, the West. We will also be complicit in our own suffering because we can’t see the link between fossil fuels and food. No diesel, no tractors. No gas, no market gardening.
Yes – it’s a marketing trick, done by the removal of eight years of history.
It shows the power of the media that in this battle between Good and Evil, so many people are totally convinced that we are the good guys…
Geert Vanden Bossche worked for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Geert: “Bill, are we the baddies?”
“There is more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repenteth than over ninety-nine righteous.”
Well if you were an aspiring vaccinologist, they’d seem like a great organisation to work for. You sometimes don’t realise the skullduggery until later, when you start to see odd things going down. I’m not holding that against him…in fact, it validates him. He is clearly not some fringe crackpot who has been hanging out on the margins. He is a true whistleblower.
Yes – the man has been progressively losing his reasoning faculties for five years or so.
He is a reliable commentator. Whatever he says you can be sure that the opposite is correct.
Oh, he’s THAT sort of reliable. Thanks for the warning!

The goal of computer security is to block all viruses no matter what. Applying that same principle to human biology would create calamity. That’s because pathogens do not disappear when everyone complies with the rule of “stay home and stay safe.” They are still waiting out there, looking for vulnerable people to infect. With a virus like SARS-CoV2, this keeps happening until we reach herd immunity. The less exposed a population is to a mostly mild pathogen, the more vulnerable they are in the future to more severe outcomes. Please don’t get bored with this review because you already know this. It is taught to everyone in 9th grade biology class. And there’s no sense in repeating this here, much less explaining the basics of human immunology. The point, sadly, is that <Bill> Gates somehow avoided this knowledge his entire life. He wants to scrub the human body the way he worked to scrub the Windows operating system. It’s the kind of basic error anyone would make who has surrounded himself with sycophants for the better part of his career. If you understand this one simple point about Gates’s thinking, you get the entire book. All that matters is avoidance.… Read more »
I did hear that Bill said on no account was he to be surrounded with sycophants, and everyone present agreed….
Yep: puts me in mind of the British Royal family!
I can see Gates working on a day release programme as a jumper salesman specialising in the round neck styles.
I see ‘scientists’ are now saying children’s hepatitis is being caused by dogs….
…let the wholesale slaughter begin!
Well, for once I totally agree with the ‘scientists’ – the dogs in power (not to mention the queen bitch herself!).
And if you think any of the above items are alarming, get a load of the following.
Yes, that says ‘quadrillions’.
The entire economic system, worldwide, is hurtling towards disaster.

For what it’s worth, there’s a Code 404 Error on the Telegraph story about the Cezanne exhibition.
Yes, that’s strange but entirely in keeping with ‘woke’. Apparently Monet owned this painting and loved it so much he had it in his bedroom…I didn’t know that by that way but just found it on the paulcezanne.org site.
Yes, it’s a total gamble following plans laid down based on decades of actual science, not to be confused with “The Science”.
Azovstal news
How’s this for a euphemism? It’s from Sky News:
He means Israel.
Or “Head Office”, as he thinks of them.
Since when has Israel ever mediated between anyone and anyone else? No-one would trust them! They’re trying to look after their own soldiers in that steel plant.
Russia and Israel have desperately tried for years now to retain good relations in the face of their conflicting interests in the ME. It’s been very obvious that both sides have been biting their tongues at times to preserve that relationship.
It’s equally obvious that the Russians feel Israel has poorly repaid that in the Ukraine by being overly helpful to Russia’s enemy in ways the Russians have declined to do in the ME. Lavrov’s recent comments were pretty clearly intended as a rebuke.
Both sides have huge downsides to falling out for real, but it could happen.
This is the account of Tass (May 6):
Israeli PM Bennett discusses with Putin Russian top diplomat Lavrov’s recent statements – Russian Politics & Diplomacy – TASS
President Zelensky is running and hiding behind Israel’s skirts, just as President Saakashvili did in Georgia in 2008: http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1834785,00.html In 2008 Israel armed Georgia and tanked them up against Russia, and in 2020 they armed Azerbaijan and tanked them up against Armenia. Russia did not spring to Armenia’s defence and Azerbaijan won the war in large part because of their superior capability with drones. Israel has also been arming the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment. Putin, Lavrov, and Shoigu eventually said enough was enough. What’s being demanded or discussed in connection with Azovstal is unclear, but a first-order consideration suggests that Russia has the upper hand, just because the place is under siege, has no air support, and is not about to be relieved or given new supplies. If Russia and Israel do fall out, there could be a high level of gang warfare in New York, London, the south of France, Moscow, and possibly also in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In the Ukraine, there must surely be a lot of people who are wondering why on earth they should live in such hell because Zelensky wants to retake Donetsk and Luhansk – and even Crimea. There have been three basically “cartoon”… Read more »
