Albuquerque Mayor Keller, like most politicians, is mistaken. In emails to his denizens, he declares “We’re in this together, because… we are One Albuquerque.” Uh, no. Those with mental or physical disabilities too young to benefit from Senior Resources will find no help at the city’s website. When my caregivers stopped showing up I lied to the non-profit Mutual Aid that I was a senior citizen, just so they’d pity me and drop off a roll of toilet paper and two packages of ramen noodles. Which is more than migrant and day labourers in India have, so I’m grateful.
Yet at this point, no-one can deny the long-term effects of lockdown: domestic violence, suicide, child abuse, poverty and despair. Hundreds of thousands of special needs children require in-person education and socialization: online learning is not an option, neither is it for those in an unstable family without laptops, tablets or a reliable internet connection. As a (disabled) Dutch-American Physician Assistant I was already alarmed at the state of US mental health – in the last twenty years, our suicide rate has increased by 35% to an exceptional annual total of 48,000 deaths.
We must acknowledge the poor in Level 3 and 4 countries are experiencing a massive decline in maternal health care, TB, pneumonia, malaria medications and children’s vaccinations, while facing increased police brutality and hunger. Even a Level 1 country like the United States sees the secondary effects of the lockdown via untreated cardiovascular emergencies such as strokes and heart attacks. US preventive health care has always been problematic, but lack of cancer treatment and diagnoses? Not acceptable, even in a greatly exaggerated pandemic.
The lockdown causes unprecedented brain drain: medical clinics with providers nearing retirement will choose to close, other clinics will simply shut down. And we are losing experienced mechanics, welders, electricians, event organizers, suppliers and small business owners – the backbone of US society and GDP. Annually, 35–40 million Americans are infected with the flu, requiring up to 800,000 hospitalizations. The case fatality rate (CFR) of 0.1% leads to tens of thousands of deaths, mostly the elderly and the very young. Yet only 45% of adults obtain a yearly flu shot. What ought to really scare politicians is that a yearly flu vaccine is not mandatory for US health care providers – not even for home carers and nursing aides, who provide extensive personal care such as bathing and dressing.
How is it that my friend’s mom isn’t allowed to visit her dying husband in a nursing home due to COVID-19 orders, while many of his nursing aides and carers don’t even have a flu shot? And why did my boyfriend’s grandmother die alone on the Navajo Reservation (of non-COVID-19 causes) without his mum – a nurse – being able to say goodbye, despite wearing PPE? Meanwhile, research showed a CFR of 0.03% for 14,000 COVID-19-positive health care workers in the Netherlands. Six of the nine who died were between 45 and 69 and had existing health conditions, and they are still investigating the remaining three. Incidentally, thanks to a targeted Dutch public health campaign, healthcare workers now have a 70–80% annual flu and H1N1 vaccination rate.
My own lockdown saga has a mixed happy ending: I did receive that “One Albuquerque” kindness our Mayor brags about, albeit through personal connections, not my city’s website. But not everyone with severe disabilities or pre-COVID-19 isolation is that lucky. Because of the extra help and caregiving by neighbors and friends I ended up with a little excess energy. So despite a neuroinflammatory disease I volunteered at a COVID-19 test site where pharmacists, volunteers and nurses sat around picnic tables chatting amicably, without masks, during breakfast and lunch. As someone who has been mostly bed-bound the last few years I know how cruel and demoralizing isolation, despair and poverty are, so I urge our politicians to do the right thing: end the lockdown now, without nonsensical measures such as plastic shields in stores, face masks and mandatory six-feet distancing.
Studies show that prolonged stay-at-home orders aggravate mental health disorders, decrease our immune systems, and may prevent herd immunity. Most worryingly, the lockdown is destroying our societal and global fabric. Segregate and protect the elderly and those at risk, maintain voluntary distancing and use masks and gloves as needed, and let people decide whether or not they want to risk going to a store. Being alive comes with all sorts of risks that we normally accept, yet COVID-19 scared politicians and the media into a panic which they turned into propaganda. According to Professor Hans Rosling, M.D. – instrumental in the Ebola epidemic – panic and hysteria never lead to good decision making. Mentally, I’ve only been able to make it through by following Reddit/lockdownskepticism and subscribing to Lockdown Sceptics.
The lockdown did end up affecting me badly: I haven’t been able to use my hydrotherapy pool for weeks, which worsens my severe spinal cord inflammation, and I’m now denied access to pain medication. My father passed away on March 9th and my mother isn’t allowed to fly in from overseas – a cruel and bad decision, since air travel and commerce ought to resume immediately. I’m not an expert, but I graduated from a technical college and am blessed with an abundance of common sense and compassion. By the end of March, I’d tweeted that Dr John Ioannides’ views ought to be considered, and I correctly predicted this inhumane global tragedy. So why didn’t our politicians and journalists see the truth, and, why is this security theatre still going on? Could it be that our leaders know, but refuse to admit they were wrong?
Sadly, history will prove that politicians, experts, social media companies and journalists were directly responsible for the deaths, suffering and censorships caused by the lockdown. I have nightmares from waking up in a world where no one understands the difference between linear expansion and the natural Bell curve, or Farr’s Law, or percentages. To me, this year and this coming decade will always be known as “COVID-1984” and the destruction of our world.

So they moved the horror show from South America to Africa. Is that their idea of spreading the wealth?
Agent 1: “We need to scare people. What place name conjurs up prejudices and elicits fear of exotic mysteries and diseases?”
Agent 2: “Botswana, Sir.”
At least Globocap Media have a sick sense of humour.
I really thought that DM article was a spoof for a while.
“Umberto Lucangelo, the head of an intensive care unit at a hospital in Trieste, recently said 90% of Covid patients were unvaccinated and many had been involved in the protests.”
Sorry, but I don’t believe that. Is this clown saying that unvaccinated patients in intensive care have also been telling staff they have been on protests? What a load of bullshit. These people just make it up as they go along.
I am losing any semblance of respect for the medical establishment. They should be standing up against this BS and going on record about the vast numbers of people with vaccine side effects currently on wards. Where are the whistle-blowers? Most of them are such spineless bastards, all they are worried about is their jobs and careers.
If the clown is correct, the experience of the hospital would eb at odds with everyone else – including Wales.
According to Public Health Wales, 83% of hospitalised Covid patients for Nov 9 – 16 were vaccinated.
The fact that they go almost completely unchallenged on what are blatant and very dangerous lies tells us so much about the state of our media, and our world.
Well this is the problem, nobody challenges them. I personally don’t give a shit if they are a doctor or a fucking brain surgeon. If they are talking shit and making it up, they need to be called out and held to account. It is almost like because they work in medicine they are completely beyond any kind of reproach.
yeah problem is how do you prove them wrong
If you pen a rebuttal proving they are wrong (and lying) … who will publish this rebuttal?
You need the stats – which is why governments are trying not to publish the most useful ones. Same issue was highlighted by the critique of that Guardian article a day or two ago – we all know that the claim that a large proportion of ICU Covid (or “Covid”) patients are unvaxxed is probably bollox (based on what stats are available), but they don’t seem to be publishing the specifically-relevant stats now which makes it difficult to definitively prove it.
All cause mortality stats, by vaxx status and age would tell us a lot.
but they dont seem to want to publish those either.
ONS has that data up Jan-July, and it showed vaxxed dying at x4 the rate of unvaxxed.
Have you seen Prof Norman Fenton’s latest presentation? He covers this, its on YouTube.
The statistical waters have been muddied, but with all cause mortality it becomes somewhat simpler. His conclusions are eye opening to say the least.
ICNARC must have the vaccination status of all the so-called covid-positive patients in ICU but after all this time of publishing weekly reports and telling us what the patients’ BMI’s are, whether they’ve been recently pregnant, whether they live in the city or the country, what their deprivation index is, and what their shoe size is (ok, not that one), they still can’t tell us if they’re vaccinated or not! That’s so ridiculous, it has to be because they don’t want us to see, because it doesn’t support the narrative. Shame on them.
On the good side, there has been a lot of resistance in Trieste and most people there won’t believe this rubbish.
Some get challenged, this Doctor in Northern Ireland was lying in a similar fashion. These guys called her on it:
Update on Dr Emma Keelan/BBCNI Lies – Citizen Journalists (citizenjournos.com)
I am past the point of showing what is clearly unwarranted respect to medical personnel.
In March, following hospitalisation for a heart attack I had to explain the myth of ‘Asymptomatic transmission.’ The cardiologist was clearly appalled that a humble patient would challenge his authority and superior knowledge and f.cKd off with a departing:
“I am not prepared to discuss this further.”
Apparently, there is no such thing as independent media anymore, (apart maybe from websites crow funded by readers). This lady here says MSM belongs to FIVE global corpos. https://twitter.com/wakeupfromcovid/status/1369477708632236032?s=20
Ironically it’s good for us in England that Wales and Scotland have gone the vaxx passport/more restrictions route, because we can now dirtectly show in the three societies why those policies are a complete waste of time and money and, in the end, do far more harm (long term) than (the tiny amount of) good.
Rather like with Florida vs California and NY state in the US.
They are lying.
At most they share individual anecdotes.
They have zero summed up data.
We are spoiled in that regard in the UK.
And if the UK data is remotely mirrored in these countries, as it must be, see above: they are just lying.
Umberto Lucangelo
It’s him, it’s him, I swear its him
Here’s an article from the Italian newspaper Il Tempo. The photo of Lucangelo is a bit disquieting. Covid, vicino il ritorno ai tempi bui: il primario di terapia intensiva attacca manifestanti e no-vax – Il Tempo
It’s him. Look at the eyes. Ok the hair has gone and there has been some poor plastic surgery but it’s him
Why do you think he’s wearing a mask?
All the time we thought he was in Mozambique and he’s right under our noses in Italy
I’ll ring Slipper of the Yard
Same BS as the Guardian Anonymous ICU medic story. It’s not consistent with the facts and is also numerically impossible – we have the same ICU occupancy as last year where 90% came from 90% then but now 90% comes from < 10%.
Indeed. Any decent journalist or newspaper knows that anonymous articles are a complete copout because, let’s face it, anybody could use them to get over whatever message they like. They lack all credibility. That’s why proper journalists will push people to go on the record or won’t bother running the piece. I would not wipe my arse on that rag these days.
It was also full of anecdotes from one hospital and no data and yet the reader was encouraged to extrapolate that story to apply to every hospital in the UK.
It’s a sign of how desperate they are if this is the best they have.
Agreed. The big giveaway that the Guardian article was utter horse shit was, why would a Dr need to protect their identity if they’re actually toeing the line and sharing facts that support the narrative? I could understand somebody being anonymous if they’re blowing the whistle on the fact ICU is full of vaxxed with severe Covid and adverse effects from the jab, but if you’re saying the opposite you’ve got nothing to fear. Also the fact there was no citing of any data, and the government data obv contradicted what they were writing. A journalist or government shill wrote that, but the Covidians will be lapping it up. Someone actually cited that as “proof” on the FB page I use and I duly tore it to shreds using Will’s article yesterday and the one by Jamie the statistician which was shared today. They think we’re all as thick as two short planks, honestly!
Re: “Where are the whistleblowers?”
Great question. We need an army of them and we aren’t even getting a squad. The ones who have come forward are ignored, fired, punished – basically made an example of.
Sen. Ron Johnson recently held a press event featuring several whistleblowers. No mainstream press covered the event.
This sums it all up ….

END MOVIE. CUT TO CREDITS.
Go to about Minute 4 of this five-minute clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XKFQVJlmZY
Update: I see the “video isn’t available anymore.” Even this makes me say, “Hmm.” Hopefully a few people have seen the movie and remember one of the great movie endings of all time.
Meanwhile in another peaceful Northern Italian city that no-one has heard of, Varese. They seemingly had contrastingly two-thirds of the covid cases in their ‘problem unit’ of vaxxed, rather than the “90% unvax” claimed above. (These figures were released on Monday 22nd Nov)
https://www.varesenews.it/2021/11/aumento-contagi-ricoveri-pazienti-allospedale-varese/1402753/
“The most problematic cases were concentrated in the covid hub where the anesthetists who control the use of CPAP, ventilation helmets, are also involved. In all there are 11 (there were 7 on November 15). The total inpatients are 27, of which almost two thirds are vaccinated.”
so numbers of the infected but vaxxed in hospitals are shown growing, but as I was reading VareseNews, sensible comments from people with news were being vanished in real-time, as I was reading them – there’s a scary DIGOS digital-police who are presumably working hard at a certain narrative, “whatever it takes” is obviously needed in this nice country for health & stability.
I got banned from posting at the sports site The Athletic for defending unvaccinated athletes and coaches.
Before I was banned (and cancelled my subscription) I was struck by the huge number of comments that had been removed for “objectionable” content or were awaiting “moderator review.”
What was left was 99-percent pro mandatory vaccine comments.
Anyway, they now own the sports journalists as well.
Sadly, football forums seem to be full of the rabidly pro vaxx.
i really have had to distance myself emotionally from top level fooball.
it is beyond help , morally.
As noted, I’ve observed the same thing at these sites. This leaves me befuddled. I watch football games on TV and nobody seems the least bit worried about contracting COVID. They are not wearing masks at the game and they are going to the games. Indeed, they are spending plenty of time inside stadiums and bars with other possible carriers. My conclusion: Typical sports fans are being culled from Comment sections or they are too afraid to even post a contrarian thought on a website. Basically, people are censoring themselves. They know what they can’t say.
They owned journalism for a number of year.
Operation Mockingbird, CIA Media Control Program on YT 3 mins long
most are lefties that are prepared to inject narrative into sports stories.
I agree. The “groupthink” in journalism is probably 100 percent. It’s been called “pack journalism.” There is no employed journalist who is NOT a member of the pack.
They are pro every kind of diversity except diversity of thought.
It’s readily apparent in Games “journalism” the corruption (woke scores) and the obvious fact that these reviews are not done by people that play games.
Gamergate showed that the left lie and censor.
Censorship is the Left’s best weapon, always has been.
Unfortunately, some doctors in the UK ars also happy to take part in the lies, propaganda, and persecution of those who decline the clot-shots. Dr David Lloyd, a GP from Harrow had an article in the Daily Mail yesterday, also accusing the unvaxxed of choking the hospitals and ICU capacity, despite the fact the UKHSA’s report shows the complete opposite. The damage this is doing to people’s trust in the medical profession will be long-lasting and possibly irreversible.
Can he be trusted by patients now he’s shown to be a liar?
This is the real issue isn’t it and of equal importance is the fact that the so-called medical knowledge of these people is shockingly limited.
Not only that, the amount of time given to vaccines during doctors’ medical training is virtually ZERO. They are not the experts in this field.
‘The damage this is doing to people’s trust in the medical profession will be long-lasting and possibly irreversible.’
True – I’ll certainly never trust another doctor.
Not only true but a good thing, as the scales come off people’s eyes.
“Dr”? Ha. He got his doctorate where exactly?
My all-time favourite punishment action is when suffragettes caught one of the medics who had tortured them in prison by force-feeding and they whipped him in the street.
He whimpered that he had “only been doing his job” – a plea later used by Adolf Eichmann.
Is the “percent unvaccinated in hospital” figure as hyperbolic and politically-motivated as the lying tittle-tattle supplied to, or invented by the Guardian?
Welcome to Wokeville where illness is illegal.
Apart from the mental kind, seemingly.

Plus some of Eastern Europe too I believe although I’ve not been keeping up with goings-on in those countries.
New Zealand: Check. Last night our government introduced “under urgency” (it’s only been 20 months since The Beginning so a really urgent matter for sure) legislation to bar The Unvaccinated from most of society. Oh – we are privileged to be able to have access to food and pharmaceutical purposes. I THINK we are allowed to get medical and dental care, but nothing would surprise me. But we are not “allowed” to use a hairdresser, beauty therapy, libraries, swimming pools, cinemas, recreational activities, bars, pubs, cafes, restaurants. And whatever other organisations decide they don’t want the Unclean anywhere near them. Many think this is perfectly ok. They will quite happily sit inside a cafe, watching the Undesirables press their dirty noses up against the window pane, watching the Compliant Ones enjoy their freedoms they so rightly deserve. Until their “boosters” are required of course and then it all starts again for them.
Just in case anyone doubts the repeat of history, I was doing some research on the nazi persecution of the Jews. I used this as a search: “Nazi persecution of the Jews”, and “antisemitic laws in nazi Germany”. Lots of web pages as you’d imagine, so I randomly chose two, and copied the whole of the text into word, then changed the words ‘Jew’ or ‘Jewish’ to ‘unvaccinated’. I had to change a couple of other words for it to make sense, and this is just an extract of what I got. The full version is too long to show here:
Nazi leaders began to make good on their pledge to persecute the unvaccinated soon after their assumption of power. During the first six years of Hitler’s dictatorship, from 1933 until the outbreak of war in 1939, the unvaccinated felt the effects of more than 400 decrees and regulations that restricted all aspects of their public and private lives. Hundreds of individuals in all levels of government throughout the country were involved in the persecution of the unvaccinated as they conceived, discussed, drafted, adopted, enforced, and supported anti-unvaccinated legislation. No corner of Germany was left untouched.
The first major law to curtail the rights of unvaccinated citizens was the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of April 7, 1933, which excluded unvaccinated and the “politically unreliable” from civil service, a regulation used to exclude unvaccinated from organizations, professions, and other aspects of public life. This would become the foundation of the Nuremberg Race Laws of 1935, which formalized their segregation from the vaccinated population.
The Nazi government revoked the licenses of unvaccinated tax consultants, imposed a 1.5 percent quota on the admission of “unvaccinated” to public schools and universities, fired unvaccinated civilian workers from the army, and forbade unvaccinated actors to perform on the stage or screen. Government agencies at all levels aimed to exclude unvaccinated from the economic sphere by preventing them from earning a living. Unvaccinated were required to register their domestic and foreign property and assets, a prelude to the gradual expropriation of their material wealth by the state. Likewise, German authorities dismissed unvaccinated workers and managers and transferred companies and enterprises to vaccinated. In September 1935 a new wave of anti-unvaccinated legislation brought about immediate and concrete segregation. Unvaccinated officers were expelled from the army, and unvaccinated university students were not allowed to sit for doctoral exams.
In 1937 and 1938, the government set out to impoverish unvaccinated and remove them from the economy by requiring them to register their property and preventing them from earning a living. The Nazis forbade unvaccinated doctors to treat the vaccinated and they revoked the licenses of vaccinated lawyers. In 1938. All unvaccinated were obliged to carry identity cards and all unvaccinated passports were stamped with an identifying letter “U.”
Legislation barred unvaccinated from all public schools and universities, as well as from cinemas, theaters, and sports facilities. In many cities, unvaccinated were forbidden to enter designated “vaccinated” zones. The government required unvaccinated to identify themselves in ways that would permanently separate them from the rest of the population.
The following shows just a few of the legal restrictions imposed upon unvaccinated
Berlin City Commissioner for Health suspends unvaccinated doctors from the city’s social welfare
The Denaturalization Law revokes the citizenship of naturalized unvaccinated and “undesirables.”
The Law on Editors bans unvaccinated from editorial posts.
The Army Law expels unvaccinated officers from the army.
The Nuremberg Race Laws exclude German unvaccinated from Reich citizenship
Reich Tax Law forbids unvaccinated to serve as tax consultants.
Reich Veterinarians Law expels unvaccinated from the profession.
The Reich Ministry of Education bans unvaccinated teachers from public schools.
‘Super green pass’ is a misnomer

It’s interesting that they know that “green” now has a positive connotation. Anything with the “green” modifier saves people and the entire planet. They are merging the COVID narrative with the Climate narrative.

Remember next time you go shopping in Lidl and Aldi, you’re supporting German businesses and the German Government who seem awfully keen on medical apartheid.
And shopping in Tesco means you’re giving the thumbs up to the Vaxx Pass.
Unfortunately I’m running out of supermarkets that I’m not already boycotting for some reason.
I’ll have to go back to independent shops soon and my weekly shopping taking 3 hours.
Same here. I’m stuffed and not in a good way! Although I’ve got a good relationship with a local fruit and veg supplier, and I’m getting to know and support independent shops but it’s hard to get everything in a town that’s severely depleted of shops like butchers, bakers and candlestick makers – yep, probably going to need them too!

UK Column have recently uncovered that in the UK, the MHRA is NOT the decision maker for UK vaxx policy, it is like a shell company, a layer below the main controlling entity which is called the COMMISSION ON HUMAN MEDICINES. These are the people who are really committing all these blatant crimes. The MHRA is there to take the flak for the real culprits. This is how the Soviet Union was run, so that no-one could identify what was really going on – complex layers which deflect blame away from the traitors in the government.
We need to keep highlighting these crimes. UK Column can wake up a lot of boomers, and hypnotised Brits, because they are professional and have the pro studio set up and people like Brian who the older mob can identify with.

Great people at UK Column.
Nearly two years into this horror show and the low-ranking healthy are still presumed sick until proven otherwise. Ironically, the
subservient‘privileged’ class in this hierarchy/apartheid may still be infected in spite of their pathetic little permission pass. This whole exercise is utterly absurd and evil.But listen, it’s totally about your elf.
Another little piece from The Grauniad:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/17/wearing-masks-single-most-effective-way-to-tackle-covid-study-finds
Seems to be a bit at odds with every other recent study.
It’s Grauniad fodder, what do you expect?
Of course, you could ask them why muzzled Guag Wales has higher covvie rates than unmuzzled (well, at least not compulsorily muzzled) England, but we all know it would be waste of breath.
Could also ask them why muzzle mandates are in every single case completely invisible on graphs of infections / hospitalisations / deaths – but as you say it’s a waste of breath. They’ll just dogmatically repeat the received “wisdom” and refuse to enter into any discussion.
I wonder how they can explain how North Dakota (mask mandate) and South Dakota (no mask mandate)have no discernable difference in Covid-19 infections?
The idea you can “tackle” a highly contagious respiratory infection that spreads via aerosol at all is for the birds.
They are still living in cloud-cuckoo “zero COVID” land.
My sentiment entirely.
And general reality in the past 18 months.
Australian Army Now Moving Australians into Concentration Camps
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/11/24/australian-army-now-moving-australians-into-concentration-camps/
Terrible news. Will the poor bloody infantry have to quarantine after contact, too?
Another example where “conspiracy theory” becomes fact.
No worries, it’s only aborigines – so far.
I suspect that, although all other Australians are officially supposed to prostrate themselves guiltily before the poor-ill-done-to indigenous peoples, most Australians don’t. Anybody able to (dis)confirm that?
The widespread apologies for the crimes against humanity that were committed against aboriginal people in Australia were accepted. The apologies were welcome and did not require prostration.
This is about what’s going on now.
Italy is suffering a rash of confirmed cases from ski lifts and outdoor sports stadiums?
I think a black market in the actual virus is going to arise. I’d rather get the virus and then show proof
Absolutely. Remember when one of the bedwetter responses to someone playing down the danger of the virus was ‘ooh I dare you to walk through a covid ward’ if I was in Italy right now I’d be breaking the bloody doors down to get myself inside
The problem is that it still might not work. IIRC, only 1 in 10 gets infected while living in the same household with delta…
Which very much indicates that some people are just naturally resistant to it, whether or not they have ‘immunity’ which can be measured in any way.
So you’d comply with the totitalitarian decrees of a bunch of tinpot dictators? How does that make you any better/less subservient (functionally) than the ‘vaccinated’?
France and the Netherlands are following Italy.
So the logic is that only vaccinated or recovered will get a green pass, those that test negative will not. This means those that are possibly infected and can transmit are allowed access, but those that are not , will not.
The only way this makes any sense is if the majority of the evidence about the efficacy of the vaccines is wrong and that they indeed do continue to provide immunisation against the virus. In which case of course there would be no need for boosters.
Whichever way you look at this the logic is perverse.
Which just confirms ‘its not about what they say its about’!!
Sweden won’t be far behind.
And that’s one of the most disappointing of all, given that with the exception of vaxxes they are the only Western European country to have got most other aspects of the response right.
Which is really saying that the “facts don’t matter.” A fellow skeptic told me I should stop trying to persuade people with data. It’s not going to change anyone’s mind at this point. She’s probably right, but I’m going to keep trying for now.
If readership levels at The Daily Skeptic keep going up – this would be a very good sign that progress is being made. I am trying to send as many people in my little social media network to this site, one of the few with a large audience that challenges the “narrative.”
In my experience rather than beat people over the head with data and facts, it’s better to either challenge them with questions – “what’s the average age of someone who died with COVID in the UK in 2020?” “if 1000 people are infected with COVID-19, how many will go on to die, and how does that compare with seasonal influenza” and help them realise how little they actually know…
…or drop in little humourous comments with a point behind them like “I wonder how many boosters I’ll need to go on holiday next summer” or “it’s funny how the virus is dangerous when you’re standing up in a restaurant but not when you’re sitting down” etc.
Get them to start questioning things for themselves. Plant some seeds of doubt and then keep watering them each time you meet.
I do regularly employ the Socratic Method, especially in posts.
I’ve also challenged several journalists to debates. No takers.
There is need for boosters because the ministers have already ordered and paid for hundreds of millions of doses for the next year. And (at least in case of Germany – 200 million) it happened months ago, before anything was known about the further course of the pandemic. Do we need any more explanations?
Italian politicians have announced the Green Pass is not the biggest threat to freedom due to this weeks discovery of the Super Green Pass.
In “Casablanca,” people were killed for their “letters of transit.”
Soon we will read of people being killed for their Super Green Passes.
The Nazis – who this time are not wearing black uniforms – of course control the Green Passes.
Where’s Victor Lazlo (and Rick) when we need them?
The problem the authorities have with the unvaccinated isn’t that we’re a threat to anyone’s health. Or even that we’re disobedient.
The problem they have is that we know what they’ve been up to, we know it’s a huge fraud, the crime of the millennium.
That’s why we have to be punished.
Our job is to educate as many people as we can before it’s too late.
Eliminate the control group.
That’s part of it but in my view more importantly – we know the truth about what has happened and can expose it.
I think the main problem for the politmafia is the looming necessity to throw away hundreds of millions of already ordered vaccine doses.
This would make clear to everyone that the politicians have wasted/transferred into pharma pockets billions in taxpayer money for no effect. They might even be held responsible for that. Avoiding that responsibility at all cost is their major focus now. When reality does not match their expectations for covering up past “mistakes” (some might say, corrupt deals for personal enrichment), they opt to produce a fake reality which does. They are basically too deep in this shit now to change course, just like a criminal’s only option is to continue running from justice while committing more crimes in the process if necessary.
Somebody else on the ‘rayc’ laptop tonight
Time for a national strike in Italy. This is turning into full-on persecution
When the Trieste docks went on ‘peaceful strike’, all sorts of things happened. The strikers wouldn’t allow the National RAI journalists anywhere near the port, for some reason.
Trieste; famous for having the beautiful ancient city square “piazza unità d’italia” (united-Italy-square) filled with green pass demonstrators, or actually being completely deserted, at the same moment (if you looked at the ‘live’ webcam feed) so there weren’t any protests or protesters er….
the webcam & perhaps the real live actuality is that demonstrations in piazza unità d’italia are banned until next year
A general strike that snowballs into an international one hopefully.
Can be replaced with Draghi’s, Jabbit’s or any Austrian/German politicians head too.
Shouldn’t he have some diamonds, oakleaves, swords, and syringes on a shiny Knight’s kross? (Neck-dangling bling.)
Sounds to me like the world’s going backwards – via the 1930s/WWII era (fascists in charge) back to pre WWI where the rich and powerful dominate society and most ‘ordinary’ people have almost nothing or any rights.
We call that neofeudalism – as a serf you have to ask your lord for permission to leave your village. Also, your body is only allowed to labor for the lord, other than that it has little value.
The Italian government is applying a “ratchet” policy – this is extremely clear. Or you could call it a “salami” policy, or getting the population “over a barrel”, but “ratchet” is a better term. The authorities are pushing, pushing, pushing, and in places as far apart as Germany and Australia some of them are almost visibly coming across like rabid maniacal hyenas, full of hate.
This shows how important it is to oppose ANY turn of the ratchet – for example, the requirement of vaccination among healthworkers.
The vaccination of children should also have been met with heavy opposition, as soon as it was mooted even as a voluntary thing.
Let any of these measures pass, and soon vaccination will be required among everyone who wants to eat in a restaurant, go to a bar or cinema, go to a large shop (Latvia), travel on a bus or train, be outside their house except when they’re at work or “stretching their legs” (soon in Germany?), and then among the entire population (Austria), including children.
And then – or running in parallel – the authorities will come for the vaccinated population, turning the ratchet against them too.
Resistance is absolutely vital. This isn’t a “let’s stick it to the government for fun” thing. It is a necessity for everyone who wants to avoid the clamps coming down on society in a way that would be irreversible for the foreseeable future and probably like nothing that most people have ever imagined before.
Tactically I am in favour of
They (the globalist predators) keep pushing, pushing and pushing – don’t they. Anyone would think they want to initiate a violent response… At this rate they are going to get it.
And as for the Guardian ‘newspaper’, the ‘guardian’ of what exactly? Certainly not the truth.
The clock has been reset, we now live in the 1930s.
Another footballer collapsed last night I see. All totally normal.
And no mainstream journalists ever asks or finds out if these medical emergencies could be vaccine-related. It’s taboo. Off limits. They intuitively know what they can and cannot write.
The newspapers for which they write lies are wholly owned by government, via lavish advertising. Ofcom in turn rules with a totally biased whip on them all. At least D-notices were honest suppression.
You cannot hope to bribe or twist, thank God! the British journalist. But, seeing what the man will do unbribed, there’s no occasion to.
Humbert Wolfe, “Over the Fire”, in The Uncelestial City (1930).
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte, formerly of Unilever, has denounced protestors against the clampdown on the unvaccinated as “idiots”.
He has been PM for 11 years.
Do I hear anyone say it’s about time he left office?
Rutte had better watch out. Some of us recall that General De Gaulle called protestors “bedsh*tters” (“chienlits”) in 1968. Ten years before, in May 1958, De Gaulle had returned as France’s head of state as a result of the Algerian crisis.
“Happy birthday, mon général”, sang those among the insurgents in 1968 who could spare the time to throw some sarcasm at the non-entity in the Elysée.
C’mon, Rutte, you wimp, haven’t you got any better insults than “idiot”?
Meanwhile complete normality in Sweden – no restrictions, no masks, no passports, no nothing – and they have the lowest infection rates across Europe – makes you wonder what the hell is going on … Sweden has shown the way out of this insanity and yet many governments in Europe are ignoring Sweden and appear to want to keep the fear going – if I was an Italian, Austrian or German right now I would be absolutely fuming – I would be seriously pissed-off with my government to the point where a military take over to remove these covid tyrants from power would be most welcome.
Completely old normal in Sweden – everywhere. No masks, no distancing, no passports, no anti-scientific sinister nonsense And lowest covid issues in Europe for months, using this strategy. Santa is on board (he hates anti-science too) LOCKDOWN/MASK CASE IS CLOSED …

This is absolutely disgraceful … why aren’t our politicians and this government condemning this tyranny?
Because its Australia, New Zealand or Canada its ok to turn a blind eye? No fecking way … this should be absolutely condemned.
This is what real totalitarianism looks like.
“Aborigini tribes targetted for not getting C19 jab. A plea to the world for help. “We are asking the world to please come and help us, please pay attention to what is happening and expose this tyranny and genocide before we lose it all”

Thanks for posting this.
For those who don’t already know, the handsign they are making at the end is a distress signal that spread on Tiktok. It is used for example by victims of domestic abuse or kidnapping who want to signal for help without their abuser realising.
ALLOWING GLOBAL GENOCIDE – THIS HAS GOT TO STOP NOW! WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU ALL
Meanwhile in Kenya the government says that from next month it will ban the unvaccinated from the premises of many businesses, and from restaurants and government offices. And the unvaccinated are currently 93% of the population.
if it’s really necessary, why wait til ‘next month’? Answer: Because it’s actually a coercion to get the vax, not a necessity.
This is more like it.

MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

Debate continues over what will replace the Super Green Pass when it also becomes unworkable. Some favour the Double-Super Green Pass, but a significant minority back the Super-Duper Green Pass.
Super-Duped Green Pass?
That works, too!
Italy, birthplace of fascism, returning to it’s roots.
Coming soon, Ultra green pass, including a free train ride & refreshing shower at the end of the journey for all unvaxxed.
“Umberto Lucangelo, the head of an intensive care unit at a hospital in Trieste, recently said 90% of Covid patients were unvaccinated and many had been involved in the protests.”
Sounds like a sound scientific analysis. Not.
The enlightening work of former NHS analyst “John Dee” on the old “My ICU is full of unvaccinated patients” claim https://drive.google.com/file/d/1laTQikCjfabE5IUZ-1bmJj2YGlkctp04/view?fbclid=IwAR10hmAhwQiXKQM6Ok44geZtko68fIIZNdWkzlvZUoJWMX5yokaDxAVmamI
truly Mussolini’s children
And when that doesn’t stop the wave of infections (as it won’t) what then ……. Concentration Camps?
Or forcible injection with an experimental jab ……. something Mengele would approve of?
These govts are not very clever are hey? Have the not learned anything from the multitude of studies and data available demonstrating the vaccine does not prevent infection or transmission, making any such discrimination pointless and worthless? Have they not seen what happened in The Netherlands? Rise up Italy, and say “NO”!
Italy seems to have gone back to the 1939-1945 era.
Countries like Italy that are bankrupt are desperate for cash. Tourism would help, but probably not enough. Guess they had to accept the backhanders from…well you know who and with the cash comes the draconian measures. Well done Italy, you have killed your economy, screwed your own citizens and guess what, you are not one bit better off than you were. Congratulations.
