Once again, we are being fed a narrative engineered to keep us in a state of fear. The Fail saying “no need to panic about Covid” (I haven’t read it because I don’t want to click on it), alongside headlines of “gas shortages” has all the hallmarks of somebody saying “let’s turn that fear down, and this one up”. I’m preaching to the converted, but it’s obvious that somebody is controlling the narrative. My question is: is this being controlled by the government, the media chiefs, or perhaps a third party (Bill Gates)? Or, as people might have said when the church had more influence, by God? Does anyone really know? Spin doctors have been in place for a long time, as Tony Blair knows, but previous ones were subtler. During the Covid panic-demic, I wrote to my MP several times voicing my opposition to lockdowns, and the damage caused; not because I expected anything to come of it, but to show that there is public opposition. I mentioned the deliberate fearmongering every time; again, to show that we are aware that somebody is doing this. Every time, he (or one of his staff) replied, which didn’t look copied and… Read more »

Good points well made.

“no need to panic about Covid” I certainly didn’t first time round so I really am beyond CGAF point now. ‘Flu lasts six months ordinarily not three years. Even the Covidiots in my circle have had enough so there’s little mileage in trying to ramp the nonsense once more.

Covidians is a subject tackled by Dr. Vinay Prasat. (YouTube channel and website). He goes as far as to say that Long Covid doesn’t really exist, and that the maskaholics have another affliction: Long Pandemic…

There is definitely something long term from a covid spike protein exposure for some folk, whether that be by ‘infection’ or injection. Having been seriously debilitated since March 2020, it is not a post viral fatigue. That improves over time. This gets worse over time. It’s been likened to being poisoned & that the best we can hope for is that with constant treatment, it stabilises. some folk have improved with treatment, but deteriorate rapidly when the treatment ends. It’s also really expensive as the NHS hasn’t got a clue! It’s in your head dear. All you need is physio, antidepressants & a bit of group counselling.
See Dr Ana has written about her encounter with it & how she’s treated herself, the majority of which are completely unavailable in the UK.
Please don’t gaslight those suffering from Long Covid, it’s no better than gaslighting those injured by the ‘vaccine’

Yes. My message to the MSM has been consistent throughout: I’ll be the judge of what to worry about – I don’t need the media to scream at me about what the latest worry-craze is!

Having watched “Safe and Effective” (Oracle Films) a couple of times, a few days apart, I feel that the old saying: “Constant dripping wears away a stone” comes to mind.

“Nordstream” I keep seeing arguments that the Nordstream pipeline explosions were accidental. There’s a lot of focusing on ‘hydrate plugs’, shoddy Russian engineering and all the rest at the moment making reasoned pitches about why it wasn’t sabotage. Well, it’s not down to shoddy workmanship. The pipeline was designed and laid by two of the world’s most experienced pipeline and offshore platform contractors – Saipem and Heerema. Having worked in the oil services industry back in the mid 1980s, I knew about both these companies then as major competitors to the company I worked for, McDermott. I can only imagine that their expertise and know-how must have increased enormously in the intervening decades. A pipeline laying vessel travels very slowly as all the sections are welded and then lowered slowly to the sea floor. The article by ‘Lawdog” – (who he?) – is written in a gung-ho jokey style that makes vast sweeping assumptions, neatly ignoring all talk of what seems more plausible given the current state of things. Oh but it’s ‘hydrate plugs’. Like many of you, the scientific explanations sort of go over my head but what I instinctively feel is that it is just too bloody convenient… Read more »

At the moment I’m in a country that doesn’t block access to rt.com. A quick scan of the headlines doesn’t result in anything about the “accident” theory – just stuff about how it’s ridiculous to think Russia did it, which of course it is. They link to this interview with a former American military advisor in which he suggests it was the US or allies: (1) Col. Doug Macgregor – Ukraine Russia War Latest – YouTube and also to this interview with a US economist in which the interviewer tries to cut him off when he suggests it wasn’t the Russians: https://twitter.com/i/status/1577023521406210048
They also mention their view that the CIA has form, having blown up the Trans-Siberian pipeline in 1982 – something the Americans dispute of course.

I regularly use a tor browser to check what RT is saying about things. Screw the censorship, we have the tech!

transmissionofflame

I’ve never understood how to do this. My understanding is that rt is blocked by UK ISPs so I assume you’d need a VPN to bypass that.

Marcus Aurelius knew

Download Brave browser. Open a new private tab with tor. Bingo. It is effectively VPN, you’re just piggybacking someone else’s.

Works for free on a pc. On a smartphone you probably have to pay for the “full version”.

Swedish paleontologist who proved that Neanderthals are ‘still alive’ wins Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine

I could have told him that without doing all the research. I have seen many Neanderthals in the Pyrenees. I mean this absolutely seriously. Saw one two weeks ago, this time in Italy, at Bagni San Filippo. I maintain that most of “the science” of “evolution” (human or otherwise) is just plain wrong.

One of the Neanderthals I have met on two occasions: he lives near the village of Tuchan, in Pyrenees-Orientales, France, and is a member of the local (very successful) rugby team. The team often comes with their families to the campsite we visit regularly, to enjoy the restaurant-bar and the swimming pool together. Smart guy, apparently, and also not averse to getting into friendly fights with his teammates!

Thanks. It was great until he mentions PayPal at the end! Last year after a medical procedure, I was in a recovery room with some other patients. The TV was on and Loose Women started with a discussion about what to do about the problem of the ‘unvaccinated’. So stressed it made me, I was going to get out of the bed and discharge myself there and then. Luckily, one of the nurses turned off the TV.

“Trigger warnings come to Oxford University’s freshers’ fair.”

When I was a student the only thing likely to cause distress during Freshers Week was the Union Bar running out of beer.

Oxford University covering its back – honestly you’d think that students today are just a bunch of scared, highly sensitive little cherubs with no minds of their own. God knows what they’d make of the Union Bar, Hux, and the sight of foaming pints of ale, loud raucous voices and red faced jollity…

Bloody great days Aethelred.

A night on McEwans Scotch or Double Maxim and then waking up with a half eaten bag of fish cake and chips at the foot of the bed.

Crikey, given the numbers of sheer off the scale frauds committed these last 2.5 years, taking little Bernie to court seems harsh. Perhaps I’m one of those conspiracy nutters but I wonder if Bernie has refused to play ball with the DD’s?

Just a thought.

See page 8 of this CDC official document listing all the ingredients of the vaccines. I just wish I’d known about the contents of the vials sooner… I wouldn’t have had the flu jabs for work for absolute certainty! My daughter may well not have had any of hers either.
