How Would You Prepare Your Former Self for the Age of Covid?

by Michael Curzon
13 July 2021 12:13 PM

We are publishing an excellent comment today by reader Jimi Cazot that he wrote in response to a Telegraph article on the introduction of Covid vaccine passports. Jimi asks: “If you could go back 10 years and speak to your former self, what would you tell that unsuspecting fool?” His answer below is bound to resonate with many readers.

In the future, many of your national assets will be owned by China. Most of the goods you buy will be made there too, which you will not purchase from your fellow countrymen but a sole supplier owned by an American.

The most successful politicians will not be elder statesmen committed to public service but young upstarts who view the job as a stepping stone towards tremendous personal wealth in later life.

Your Government will pass bills to quash peaceful protest and enable the recruitment of child spies. This won’t be limited to the intelligence services but bodies like the environmental and food standards agencies too. When you ask “why”, nobody will be able to tell you.

Your Government will set up ‘nudge units’ staffed by unknown behavioural scientists. They will tell you what to eat, drink and how you should behave. There will be patronising health and safety signs everywhere you look.

“The media will grow dependent on Government advertising revenue and cease reporting opinions and events that contradict official narratives.

The internet will be dominated by a small number of big-tech companies who will delete all information that they disagree with.

In the name of safeguarding students from harm, schools and universities will cease debate and enquiry. People with contrary views will be barred from campuses. Even student newspapers will be censored by ‘sensitivity readers’.

At work, you will be made to undergo psychological re-education. The people lecturing you will have no knowledge of psychology but nonetheless try to change you at a subconscious level.

People will be sacked from their jobs for saying there are two biological sexes or for telling an ill-judged joke. They will not be forgiven if they apologise.

Every major institution and employer will sign up to this censorious culture and soon you will censor yourself when speaking to friends and colleagues without even knowing that you’ve done so.

When a virus emerges that only kills 0.3% of those who catch it – the majority of which older than the average span of a life – you will be bombarded, 24-hours a day, by terrifying public messaging.

The police will stop you from meeting a friend for a coffee in the park. They will rummage through your shopping bags to make sure you’ve only bought things that they deem essential. They will film you as you walk in the countryside and put the footage on the internet so to shame you.

Neighbour will be told to spy on neighbour, and when you have friends round for dinner the police will knock on your door and give you a fine.

You will be told to stay two metres away from other people at all times. You will be made to wear a facemask even though there’s no evidence that they do anything at all. When this becomes apparent, scientists will say you must wear them so as not to frighten other people. Your freedom will end where another’s fear begins.

Families will be kept from dying loved ones. Widows will be denied the comfort of human touch. Daughters will be arrested for collecting their mothers from care homes.

Vast numbers of children will be sent home from school and denied a proper education just because one classmate lost their sense of smell.

Weddings will be cancelled. Nightclubs will be closed. Churches will be shut. Singing and dancing will be prohibited. Lovers will be kept apart.

Vaccines will be created using messenger ribonucleic acid technology. When the inventor of that technology warns against its use by those at little risk from the virus, records of him will be expunged and someone more ‘helpful’ will be credited with his work.

You will be told that the vaccine isn’t compulsory, yet those who refuse might be sacked from their jobs. They will be made to queue for longer at airports. They will be put under house arrest if they come into contact with someone who has the virus, whilst those who have had it will not. They will be stopped from going to bars and stadiums. There will be two classes of people: the clean and the unclean.

Your unassailable and decadent leaders will ignore the rules they set for others again and again, blissfully untroubled by the cries of hypocrisy.

Global leaders, bureaucrats, scientists, royalty and the super-rich will meet in private to discuss how we all must live. They’ll say there are too many people and not enough resources, but nobody will ask who we should get rid of and how. Blinded by hubris, they’ll believe that they alone can bring about a utopian future. The language they speak will be impenetrable to most, it made up of meaningless phrases like ‘stakeholder capitalism’, ‘collectivisation’, ‘sustainable development’ and ‘Build Back Better’. Every now and then, however, they’ll make things very clear: “You will own nothing. You will rent everything. You will be happy.”

Few will question what this means, how it will be brought about or what mandate they have for doing so. Those who do, or any of the above, will be insulted, ridiculed and so pushed to the margins of society that they are effectively silenced.

Most will stand on their front doorstep at 8pm every Thursday, clapping their hands and bashing saucepans.

Now, what do you think your former self would say?

Stumbled upon this yesterday. If you google “preparing for a hurricane” the top hit is from the CDC. Can you guess what their first piece of advice is? Secure your windows? Take shelter? Stock up on food, fuel and wind up torches?

Nope:

“Get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can.”

(It’s moved to number two in the hit parade today, along with news stories highlighting it).

The same as the current one does, that a country will always get the government it deserves. Nothing has fundamentally changed in the last ten years, or fifty years for that matter, simply that the process is becoming more transparent; the people are more credulous, so the MSM becomes more agenda driven, and the politicians become more exploitative.

I’ve been looking to see if there had been any developments on the Ethics complaint to the British Psychological Socitey about the role of Pychologists in using fear to drive government policy. As I recall, it was due to be discussed by the Ethics Committee of the BPS in June but I can’t seem to find any references to it now. Is this a story that’s been buried or just kicked further into the long grass?

You can see Gary Sidley talking about this on the recent Reiner F Corona Ausschuss. In brief, they did reply in the end but did not agree that their approach was in any way unethical because of the terrible pandemic etc etc.
Just what you would expect. Accept the narrative.

You are right. Silly, naive me expected the Ethics Committee to make a, well, an ethical decision. But clearly, they didn’t want to expose their colleagues to civil cases and are rubbing their hands together in anticipation of the flood of work they will have for decades dealing with the chronically hypochondriacal.

I sent an email and received the following…

The Ethics Committee of the BPS has reviewed and considered the above issue raised with the society.

On 5 February we issued a statement in response to emails detailing similar concerns. This response continues to be the BPS position.

Covid-19 is an extremely serious public health issue. The response to the pandemic is clearly a matter of social as well as individual concern. Indirect behavioural interventions are commonly employed in public health campaigns in order to safeguard the population. Given the scale of the mortality and morbidity caused by the pandemic the behavioural interventions employed by the UK Government have been proportionate and necessary.

The Ethics Committee believed that the contributions of psychologists in responding to the pandemic was entirely consistent with the BPS Code of Ethics and Conduct, demonstrating social responsibility and the competent and responsible employment of psychological expertise.

The Committee also emphasised how psychologists’ shared values of respect, competence, responsibility and integrity will be vital in supporting the long-term recovery from the pandemic at both the individual and societal levels.

So another group parroting the governmental lie of a ‘serious public health issue’, and another one to be dismantled when we win the fight.

I don’t know if you replied. But I’d be inclined to request the minutes of the meetings at which the conclusion that the interventions were proportionate and necessary were reached. Furthermore, how often they review their position, (as obviously, the change in information and morbidity and mortality should affect the amount of indirect behavioural interventions supported)?

Moreover I should like to know how they quantified morbidity and mortality, and if it was only in terms of physical disease outcomes, or psychological disease also? Was prospect of recovery from either also considered? Was it age stratified? Was any type if QALY applied? If so, in which direction? Eg was the decent into depression and school refusal in a young adolescent considered a greater risk than the distress of a very aged dementia patient? If not, are there minutes where the decision was made not to consider that?

In order to be able to assert with such certainty that their conduct has been in line with the code of conduct, surely the BPS must be open to reassessment once more is known. Also there is a need for rigorous scrutiny of false conclusions about its efficaciousness. Eg – would a natural decline in circulating respiratory disease in the Summer give the false impression that indirect psychological interventions had been effective in controlling the spread of disease? Would a natural and predictable Autumn surge lead to the false impression that people were becoming careless, and then a very reckless increase in psychological pressure techniques causing untold collateral damage?

“Extremely serious public health issue”.

2020 – worst year for deaths since 2008. 2021 (so far) – below average mortality (last 10 years).

If anyone would care to post a suitable response without expletives, they’re welcome to try!

I would probably say the same thing that my wife, who broadly agrees with me (thanks to JuliaHB1) says when I tell her what will happen in the next 6 months. “You are being really paranoid and I can’t deal with it as it makes me depressed. Things will get better just you see.” She simply cannot grasp the concept that we could both be made unemployed in the next 6-12 months for not taking the vaccine, even though we both work productively from home. And that our kids might not be able to go to school without being vaccinated. Anyway, wider point is that good advice is often disbelieved or not heeded. The ‘oh shit’ moment, if it ever arrives, usually arrives far too late.

To other commenters – the question was not ‘what would YOU tell your younger self’, but ‘what would you as your younger self say in reply to what you were told (in main post)’.

For what it’s worth, my advice to my younger self would be to make as many friends as possible, but make sure they are made of the right stuff and share your values. When things come to a head nothing will be more valuable than a reliable support network.

Same here. I have lost friends over this. Mainly due to my lockdown-sceptical views and my absolute refusal to wear a muzzle ever since Day 1. These people are in complete thrall to the SAGE cabal, rely solely on the likes of BBC and Sky for their news, and hang onto every utterance from the government’s talking heads as if it’s the Word of God. I find it hard (if not impossible) to be friends with anyone like that now. And they feel the same about me.

Amen to your comment and others who have lost friends. Look at it this way: we’ve made new friends and connections, maybe in the flesh, maybe just online, or both. We’re the ones moving forward with energy and pushing through this crap so we can eventually get to the other side. Our so-called old friends are doing nothing, but just waiting for this to “just blow over”. Well, news flash for them, that ain’t happening! They don’t want to know, then leave them, that’s their choice. We’ve spent far too long trying to wake people up. We’ve got to do what is right for us now…and lead by example.

If you have “lost friends” because of sincerely held opinions developed over time rather than a knee jerk reaction, I would suggest they were never “friends” ever. I am viewed as mad, unhinged and by some contemptuously because I have dared to understand what has/is happening, don’t fully understand the “Dr D Martin” science but watching a lot of videos by Dr Mike Y and others I have come to see the gross lies and scary run of events from 20+ years back.

Well said.

To be honest, the first lockdown made me take stock of my life. I restructured my/our finances. I have improved my health in such a way, we were finally able to conceive. We now have a healthy baby daughter, with some money in the bank. And I also own physical Gold for the first time ever.

It took a month, but once I accepted that this is a very dark road we are on, I decided to take action.

I took all the ridicule and derision, and now get to smile and say “told you so” at those that dished out the ridicule as they start their personal journey of misery.

The tip-toe of totalitarianism is slow, it has to be, so there is some time. Just don’t wait too long if you already haven’t accepted it and taken action.

Wrote to my so called MP way back in July last year predicting the dystopian road his Government had embarked on – locked in lockdown, societal and economic breakdown, an age where lies become truth, and above all that the virus will do what viruses have done for millennia and that is spread through the population until our collective immunity bring their journey to an end regardless of what we do otherwise. Actually got a reply disagreeing with my prognosis. Will write to him again pointing out how right I was when so motivated.

Way back before the first lockdown in March last year I had a telephone conversation with one of my brothers. I was spending a great deal of time on the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine website and a few other places, and i opined to my brother that:
“We are witnessing the greatest over reaction and beginning of mass hysteria in modern times”.
What i didn’t know then was that even though that was a true statement, I didn’t realise what a colossal, spectacular understatement that was.

Maybe what we’re facing is akin to the Brits when the Norman invasion came. Or the Danes.
After the former, life in this country was never the same again.

And now? There’s nowhere to escape to. There’s places like Florida, but that’s a fraudulent election away from being California. And you’d need to be vaccinated to leave the country, unless I’m mistaken. Plus most of us are the wrong skin colour to be accepted as refugees.

The groundwork was done by Bliar who was clearly a bought piece of scum throughout his period in office.

Maybe Brown went to the country early because he hoped he would lose and saw that as a way out. Look what came in.

And where is Cleggy working now?

Of course these might just be coincidences.

Now where have I heard that before?

It was clear around the new turn of the century that things were starting to go badly wrong; Such people reached a critical mass; the villainous soixante huitards came to power… it’s been on the cards for a time, but instead of opposition, we had comedians denigrating Mary Whitehouse (there was an anecdote about tits liking melons a year or two back AIR). Yes, this has been pushed by malevolent forces, but too many people have been willing to swallow it.

Another gem from the public health experts who know what’s best for us. Wear sunglasses every day from March to September, especially if it’s cloudy.

Those pesky experts knowing everything….pffft! The sun is good for you. The brain perceives the reduced light you receive as being a cloudy day/early evening and consequently reduces protection for the skin. Those experts will also say wear sun screen all the time. Another nonsense. It reacts with the sunlight, being so full of chemicals, and is probably more dangerous as a result. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear they’re trying to bump us off!

Key for me is the evidence he cites is public source, US Patent Office – not some theory based on dubious research, non peer reviewed or peer reviewed by your mates.

So we learn that the US State in the form of the military, NIH etc, funded GoF research for medical AND military purposes, funded that research via Daszak and others in Wuhan, and enabled Big Pharma to rush out a “vaccine” …in under 12 months – when key components of the “vaccine” were apparently patented not months but years before…..my simple take on this.

One question bugs me – who and how will bring this criminality – if that is what it is – in from of a Judge who is brave enough to take on the multiplicity of vested interests?

I’ve given this some more thought. I would tell my younger self, in no particular order:

  • Make sure you have cash available for a year’s expenses
  • Get the home and vehicle in proper condition
  • Stock the larder with canned goods and other non-perishables, just in case.
  • You know the MSM and left-leaning politicians will make things worse. But so will the few politicians and journalists you currently trust. Their brains will turn to stone.
  • Keep an eye on the medical data and ignore the official experts, but understand medical data are often in a poor state.
  • Social media is usually a waste of time, but keep a thick skin and challenge the “experts”.
  • Some of your fiends and neighbours will be in genuine difficulty, so lend a hand.

This needs to be shared as widely and as much as possible. It is an excellent summation of the situation.

Basically, whilst everyday people have been going about their business, raising a family and keeping a roof over their heads, sinister and dark forces have been building a pyschological and digital prison. The primary purposes? To make immense amounts of money, to acquire power and control, and to enslave and demoralise humanity.

Well, now we know, the cat is out of the bag, the genie is out of the bottle. Doing nothing about it, is no longer an option.

“Modelling by SAGE released yesterday suggests it is realistic to expect between 100 to 200 daily fatalities … at the worst of the current outbreak this autumn”

But ~1500 people die every day in the UK, day in, day out on average – a spike of ~10% is sufficient to justify destroying the economy?

I suspect this temporary change in restrictions is to enable the Pig Dictator to dump the last of the furloughed in September

Full detention without trial (please don’t use lockdown it’s a psy-ops word) will be resumed in October

Turdgeon and the Rapists Dad have no responsibility for raising the taxes that pay for the furloughed in Scotland and Wales

T and TRD are keeping the masks so in October they can slag off The Pig Dictator for his slaughter of the maskless which they will blame for the next bout of house arrest

A former primary school teacher talks about how taking her 3 children out of the school system during these times was the best thing she ever did, and how the maleducation system is the reason why so many people have fallen for government propaganda and are compliant to the regime. https://www.hopesussex.co.uk/our-mission

Ten years ago I was writing the first draught of a novel about life in a dystopian future that was quite literally just like the situation now emerging. I didn’t think anyone would take it seriously and so was not too bothered when an unbacked up hard drive crash wiped everything. I embarked on another path and haven’t bothered to try again. Now I think that were I to write such a story I’d be accused of lacking imagination and jumping on the bandwagon so if I could talk to my self of ten years ago I’d say ‘do try again, the unsuspecting fools will laugh at you but you’ll have the last laugh’.

My former self would say, “possible but there is not much that one can do about it if the majority of the populace choose not to interrogate facts, question the official narrative and seem to be content not to regain their former freedoms.”
So yes I would love to move to South Dakota in a heart-beat! (Or Australia where my daughter Elle lives; I have not seen her for two years and the enforced separation makes me too pained to speak).
On the upside, what I have learnt is that perhaps those people who are born into totalitarian regimes may be as open-minded and independent in spirit as we sceptics are; but faced with group conformity they have no choice but to appear to be placid.
How many millions of people born in Communist China or Putin’s Russia or the former USSR actually craved the opportunity to speak freely but were forced to self-censor? Millions I think… Both ‘Animal Farm’ and ‘1984’ are with us here and now in the UK of 2021; George Orwell must be spinning in his grave…

Exactly what I did when the first lockdown was announced. Everyone laughed insisting ‘its only for 3 weeks’
But I still took myself ‘off grid’ as much as possible. Increased my health regime, never wore a mask. Sent a DO NOT CONSENT to ‘medical treatment’ the NHS. And basically prepared myself for at least for 2-3 years of tyranny. Its a global ‘soft war’ anyway.

I wish I wasn’t, but I am one of the few who publicly thought we were in literally terrifying trouble from quite early on.
My wife reminds me that, on the day that “3 weeks to flatten the curve” became another, that I was striding about the house, shouting that “you don’t understand what’s happening here” & “Sweden obviously is right, and none of this makes any sense”.
I don’t say I knew where this was going, but I was absolutely certain that, for the first time in my life, I watched a prime minister directly lie to me on TV about something of tremendous impact to my life & well-being. It was surreal because I was sure beyond unreasonable doubt that nothing was as it seemed, of rather, as we were told it was.

Considerably more than a year ago I was all over PCR fraud. It’s never been performed appropriately. Recall Kary Mullis stating unequivocally that PCR is not suitable for diagnosing a viral illness. It can be made more trustworthy than it currently is, by applying boundary conditions, using internal standards, definitely defining operational false positive rate, doing Sanger sequencing on the product instead of assuming that what’s detected is the virus in question, abc many more. Unfortunately it was plain to those who’ve used this awesome technique, or hired & managed those who do that, done as advertised, PCR is not separating those who are clinically infected from those who returned a positive result for one of myriad reasons. I wrote several papers for Lockdown Sceptics, one of which had a much more accusing title than what it ended up with. The evidence was clear to me that regardless of true prevalence, the fraction of tests which were positive had nothing to do with respiratory virus illnesses. That’s always been true & it’s true today.

This in turn means it’s not possible to be sure of anything at all. At least, anything which depends upon the results of PCR mass testing is somewhere between untrustworthy & deliberately misleading. So vaccine efficacy, for example, cannot be claimed in any formal sense. Because if this, I don’t even take a strong view on whether the virus exists as in the sequence in the databases.

These evil people are very clever. Virtually no one is aware that over 40 different viruses are known the infect the human respiratory tract, that even “the common cold” can kill in high percentages people in care homes. I recall Clare Craig passing me a paper from which this was the conclusion. Not that this is the 7th coronavirus claimed to infect us & that 4 of them cause around 1/5th to 1/4 of common colds. There is nothing uniquely diagnostic about any of the signs & symptoms of infection by this virus. While the proportion of those who’re infected and show shortness of breath may well be higher than for most other viruses, that really doesn’t help diagnosis in an individual case.

Given it’s not possible reliably to quantify how many have clinically relevant infection, nor what a person is suffering from when they have symptoms, everything else is subject to manipulation by the puppeteers.

I confess I must have had operating an unconscious censor, because all the pieces I’m now relying on were in place as long ago as last summer, yet I didn’t fully join the dots at that time. I think it was around the time that the first “vaccine” swept into view that I realised that the most likely explanation for all this was depopulation.

Why that objective?
Global scale lying from the White House to minor medical journals, ruthless censorship & control of messaging almost everywhere in the world. The G20 governments almost all subject to a “technocratic coup”. It’s not possible for the set of observations to occur without it being deliberate.
You don’t set about destroying several G20 economies only to stop & fix it afterwards.
When I realised our Govt was blithely able to give orders which could only lead to increased, avoidable deaths, I knew we faced a willingness to kill. You become a mass murderer just once. The Rubicon having been crossed, I doubt it’s harder to give an order with consequential deaths numbering far more.
The perpetual lying about ‘cases’, variants & the incorrect assertion that ‘top-up vaccination’ is necessary has the loudest alarm bells ringing for me. In the context of a society governed by VaxPass, I cannot come up with a benign explanation for the ‘telemetry’ of thus event than the very dark endpoint I’ve outlined. The motive is certainly not money, though many are filling their boots. The Davos set are unlikely to want to trash the economy, hurting most businesses they own, just to hand a shedload of cash to a handful of pharma companies.

Anyway, more than enough.

I wish I had a suggestion for how to not lose, but I don’t. I’ll keep plugging away giving interviews. But it requires a critical mass of people willing to tell everyone that the Emperor has no clothes.

It must be intensely draining to keep plugging away giving interview after interview but your name and the facts/evidence you present is mentioned across a lot of forums. If only more people would ask one ‘why’ question, starting from the very beginning, i.e, why did Johnson use Ferguson’s modelling as the ‘starting pistol’ for all that has followed? After that ‘red flag’ more questions followed..one doesn’t even need to be a scientist or data modeller to recognise the incongruities that have taken place over the past 17 months.
There was an e mail in to UK Column ( today) basically detailing the frustration felt by the sender ending with they were “shouting and screaming” at the radio every day. I don’t know what it will take for others to get to that level of frustration anger and despair…..maybe as events unfold further and darker.
If we can get people to ask a ‘Why’ about one aspect of our current lives it may get them started on a different path ( awakening).
