I’ve written a piece for Mail+ urging Boris not to waiver in his resistance to the hysterical chorus screaming for more Covid restrictions. Here is an extract:
The drum beat for more Covid restrictions reached a deafening roar last week with the head of the NHS Confederation, Matthew Taylor, demanding the government implement ‘Plan B’ to avert a ‘crisis’ within the NHS. That meant mandatory mask wearing, vaccine passports and working from home.
He was soon joined by trade union leaders like Frances O’Grady, scientific advisors like Professor Adam Finn and politicians like Keir Starmer.
All the usual suspects toured the radio and television studios, urging the Prime Minister to spring into action to ‘save the NHS’ ahead of this year’s flu season, expected to be worse than usual.
But Boris Johnson held his nerve. He sent out his Business Secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, to declare there would be no further lockdowns and his Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, held a press conference at Downing Street where he announced the government would be sticking to ‘Plan A’ for the time being.
And, once again, Boris’s instincts have proved correct. He ignored the doomsayers, just as he ignored Professor Neil Ferguson and Independent SAGE when they warned daily Covid cases would increase to 100,000 if ‘Freedom Day’ went ahead on July 19th and could go as high as 200,000. Instead of continuing to rise, cases have now started to fall of their own accord, just as they did over the summer.
Yesterday, the Department of Health reported 36,657 new cases in England in the previous 24 hours, down a quarter on last week’s peak and the second day in a row there’s been a week-on-week drop. The number of registered deaths of people who’d tested positive in the previous 28 days was 38, down 16% on last Monday.

We’re in a war for the future of freedom and civilisation and Google are the enemy
Our government are not on our side
Indeed
We’re losing the war and it’s probably unwinnable for many generations. The USA, arguably the most libertarian country in the rich world, elected Biden. A billionaire incumbent President with a reasonable record and lots of support failed to get re-elected. Admittedly he didn’t do himself many favours at times, but his real fault was upsetting the established order and Big Tech. I didn’t like him much, though I thought he was preferable to Clinton and Biden, but if Trump lost, what chance do we stand. (I’m not comparing us to Trump, just making a point about resources and the enemy).
I mean, they didn’t actually elect him. I think we all know that.
I don’t know enough. I think I would assume Biden was elected “fairly”, with the support of the media, Big Tech and celebrities. among others. But for the purposes of my point it doesn’t matter and it’s a rabbit hole.
It’s a rabbit hole, true, but I think it stretches credulity to beyond breaking point to think that Biden gained 12 million more votes than Obama (and his total was the record up to that time).
Is the rabbit hole where they buried all Trumps votes?
“I think I would assume Biden was elected “fairly” … “
Yes – as much as Trump was elected on a minority of the popular vote.
It’s all beside the point – which is all about big money and sectional fights for control.
I’m afraid that seeing Trump (a noted privileged fraudster of limited ability and insight) through rose-tinted spectacles provides no answer at all as an alternative to Biden. Just look at his slavish incomprehesion re. Palestine as just one example. It’s all the same pile of excrement.
The only good aspect to all that truth is that the very fact of the very open and obvious intervention to defeat Trump, the gross unelectability of the Biden team, has opened a lot of eyes,. and will open many more as the profound deficiencies of the Biden administration become clearer, as each day passes.
The sad fact that Quid Pro Joe is unwell will become increasingly difficult for the Axis of Bullsheet to deny.
I’m not certain they didn’t elect him.
Biden won nothing. Stolen election, 100% I’m no Trump supporter but he was inconvenient to this plan so had to be removed at all cost hence no investigations. So rich he couldn’t be bought. Biden will be gone by year end one way or another and KamelaToe will be President in both name and as she is now in action. Still, at least the yanks have 300m+ guns at their disposal to stand their ground.
Maybe Toby, you will now realise that this is not a policy blunder – we are headed into full-on totalitarianism.
“social engineering content”
LOL! Pretty Orwellian.
And a great irony since social engineering is exactly what the mainstream media and big tech are engaged in.
All the more reason to look for ways to change our laws to bring this social engineering activity under a degree of control:
IN PROTECTION OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH
A Legal Analysis
By FRANCIS HOAR
Foreword by JONATHAN SUMPTION
Preface by LAURENCE FOX
I’ve noticed that Firefox flags up a load of sites such as Off-Guardian as potentially dangerous, I have to expressly permit access then go through the same with Kaspersky. Meanwhile I can access most of them with Opera. Something seems to be up with their certificates. Strangely Conservative Woman is not (yet) affected.
Message sent between lawyers, sums things up:
We are ok in ourselves but exasperated that we are sliding into totalitarianism under the guise of managing a pandemic and too many people are complacent or purposely turning a blind eye. The commons have just passed a law making noisy protest ( incl by one person), punishable by 10 years in prison, there is a bill to decimate judicial review which will curtail judicial oversight of the exec, reducing hugely a check on gov power, the online safety bill will allow the state to regulate everything online and remove “disinformation”. A law to force people to vaccinate or lose their job and to not allow relatives to visit loved ones in care homes if not vaxxed was introduced last min as a statutory instrument and given only 90 mins for debate . When it passed the next day there was a mainstream media news blackout on it. I knew it had passed and put on the Today Prog to see how they would cover it and they didn’t. If you did a Google search the next day it brought up no results for it at all. The gov is now consulting on laws to protect the state from enemies, internal and external incl 14 years in prison for embarrassing the gov. That will be the end of journalism, not that there has been much free journalism over the last 12 months or so anyway. Medics who speak out get pilloried and threatened. Robert Malone has just declared publically that he is not suicidal and Mike Yeoden, former VP of Pfizer is leaving the country. People in France who aren’t vaccinated banned from trains when natural immunity following covid means you are.much.lesd.likely to spread it than the vaccinated. There is an encyclopedia.of.peer reviewed papers on the efficacy of Ivermectin in not just treating covid, but mitigating long covid and being prophylactic which would end the pandemic but still the MHRA blocks its use. I am sorry, but it doesn’t matter what we have going on in our personal lives, we have a duty to call this out and resist in any way we can before it is too late because at this rate it will not be long until there will be nothing of our old lives to go back to. France banning unvaxxed from trains and our gov now saying vulnerable kids down to 12 should be vaxxed when they are at minimum risk from covid and the stats on the vaxx are that they are a far greater risk to them. None of this makes any sense. The world is going mad and I don’t recognize the country I grew up in anymore or people whose values I thought I understood
Please may I copy and share your comment?
We learn that Ian Rons can actually write. He normally ignores emails, notably about how this website makes money out of you all.
You exclude yourself from ‘all of us’? If you don’t like this place you can go and do the other thing.
What amused me about his implicit accusation “how this website makes money out of you all” is that he says it like it’s a bad thing. I suspect I’m not alone in hoping that the people running the site have found ways to monetise and therefore sustain it.
I’ve just seen you did email me back in April, which somehow got lost in my inbox. I’ll get back to you when I’ve checked out the issue you refer to. I get a lot of emails, and don’t “normally” ignore them.
Excellent post. I have left U.K. and I don’t expect to return.
Mind you, I don’t expect to live very much longer. So I’ve not ‘run away’ but ‘towards the sound of gunfire’.
If we cannot hold open under normal rule of law a single southern US state, the world is lost. So I’ll join battle there. Wish me luck.
Good luck!
I do wish you luck and thanks for enabling me to follow my instinct – From you to Reiner Fuellmich/Dr David Martin/Dr Peter McCullough/TGBD/Prof Gupta et al/Del Bigtree – and then to the truly evil SAGE cabal ( with honourable exceptions to these from within who have dared to express dissent )/ Fauci, Farrar, Daszak, Bat Lady, Drosten, Vallance in his guise as head of R&D for GSK/BMGF/Zuckerberg…..so it goes on.
I still am deeply unsure “what I now know”; but from a previous experience of the criminality of “big business” (which tried – and failed – to destroy me and my family) in an unconnected sphere, I hope my sanity holds out to continue to try and make some sense of this chaos.
Watch your back.
Getting to the point now:

Other browser options are Brave who also released a search engine recently. I’ve seen Discord (Microsoft owned?) groups being targeted and shut down the last few days too.
It is now very important to maintain an email list. Have a list printed out and update it monthly. Sites come and go, but the list stays with you.

One day they will use the kill switch…end of free internet forever. You will only be directed to certain “government” sanctioned websites and information that is the truth according to them. As the New Zealand PM jacinda ardern said – discard all other information on vaccines we will tell you the truth.
DuckDuckGo (Google steals everything including your soul)
The ‘duck’ is dead, its as bad as google.
What’s wrong with it?
I switched to DuckDuckGo and installed an Ad Blocker a few months ago and felt slightly less monitored by Big Brother. On DDG make sure you set Safe Search to Off.
Isn’t google’s action there libel?
I have spent a large part of my working life dealing with software people. Some are very normal, but they do seem to attract more than their fair share of oddballs and people with personal and social issues.
We learn that Ian Rons can actually write. He normally ignores emails, notably about how this website makes money out of you all.
How much money does it make?
When you say “make”, do you mean there is a profit left after paying for servers and paying staff the going hourly rate for the work they do?
Google turned ‘don’t be evil’ into ‘let’s be as evil as we can be, whilst not quite as bad as China.’
Gave up on Google years ago. My default search engine of choice these days is Mojeek: UK-based, privacy guaranteed. Other providers are available too, of course.
Big brother baby.
May be being stupid here but anyone else experiencing difficulties not getting anything after the Daily Round Up? Since we’ve changed to The Daily Sceptic there’s been nothing on Masks, the GBD, Woke Gobbledegook or And Finally or don’t we get these articles with the new format? Sorry I know this is off the subject but just wondering what’s happening. Cheers.
Use alternatives to google such as SwissCows, DuckDuckGo, etc. They do not censor what you can see and do not save all your details.
Also look into safe email providers such as http://www.ProtonMail.com (Swiss encrypted) that also provides a VPN
Don’t wish to sound paranoid, but I very much doubt that any browser is fully secure. Bods in a doghnut in Cheltenham are reading this right now. So say it anyway.
If anyone needs information about privacy on the internet and with tech in general Rob Braxman is helpful. There is Reclaim The Net as well.
I think it’s worse than you think. Imagine a world in which I cannot read it hear what other humans say or write?
And vice versa?
Beware that plus a financial system reset plus….
This winter.
I’m certainly expecting things to get even worse before they get better, Mike, but I think it’s worth bearing in mind that (using an analogy I hope will resonate with you) the fever stage of an immune response probably isn’t a good time to determine the prognosis. While it’s important to acknowledge how badly things could turn out, it’s also important to recognise the potential for improvement.
As I see it, the current situation can’t be properly understood without considering the forces operating within the collective unconscious – among which, I’d suggest, is a kind of metaphysical immune system which operates to defend against societal disease. As to what the current disease might be: misgovernment has plumbed new depths over the last eighteen months but it has been with us for a very long time and, in my experience, most people have tended to see it as part of the natural landscape. In fact, it is almost entirely the product of flawed systems that give power and influence to people who cannot be trusted to act with integrity.
Blaming those people, though, risks diverting attention from our own collective responsibility: if we cannot say how a mature society should govern itself, we can’t really expect good government – but, as anyone who has tried to interest people in constitutional reform can testify, it’s a question most people are simply not interested in thinking about.
Malcolm,
I’m looking at things through a black mirror atm
I’m well aware that my perspectives are all over the place and I’m unlikely to have balance.
But the reasons I am like that is that I can see the possibility of deliberate utter carnage. It does depend on what’s in the script for us. And I’m not privileged to know it’s details.
Best case we stabilise under a VaxPass controlled social credit system.
I have to say I give around a 0% probability to that outcome.
The track records of those we know are involved definitely involve depopulation. There are no easy ways to do this without being rumbled whatever they might tell us. So I anticipate a deliberately engineered major crisis like food shortages & financial crisis to ensure no one has spare time to organise anything but their next meal. It’s very easy to execute.
As I’ve said before, I’d love to be wrong & to join in on a great big laugh at my expense. That would be wonderful. “Whew! Me & my imagination, eh?”
Obviously I’d never be hired to think & plan ever again but as I am not interested in that anyway, it’s not a problem.
So I’d rather shout & articulate my worst fears & why I hold them than be moderate & miss any chance to prompt a few more people to red pill themselves.
Because whatever else is happening, this is now fully under the control of truly evil people.
All the best
Mike
Thanks for the reply, Mike. I certainly wouldn’t want you to stop articulating your worst fears, because what you’ve been doing over the last year has been enormously valuable. I hope you can find some new anchors, though, both for your own peace of mind and for the influence you can have on others – part of the strength of your message last year lay in the balance of your perspective, and I can’t help feeling that you’ll help more people once you’ve found a new balance.
I appreciate that you’ve come a long way since you first spoke out. A few days ago I watched your discussion with Del Bigtree and was struck by how your perspective has changed since I first heard you, in your interview with James Delingpole. The darkness you’re going through was very clear in your talk with Del but it’s hard for me to imagine what it must be like for you (I ‘took the red pill’, as it were, as a teenager back in the seventies and my journey over the last forty-plus years has been in the opposite directiion, learning to appreciate the worthwhile aspects of a system that I had initially rejected wholesale).
I hope you’ll understand that the red pill does not wake you up to the truth, it merely wakes you to another perspective on the untruth; until you’ve had time to rebuild it, your worldview continues to be shaped by the mental framework you evolved during the time you were in the dream. So I hope you will distrust anything you feel sure of, until you begin to feel solid ground under your feet. A sense of certainty seems to be one of the hallmarks of the current time, on both sides, but mostly all it reflects is the fact that people everywhere feel their old certainties dissolving and are grasping for new ones.
You might be right when you say “whatever else is happening, this is now fully under the control of truly evil people”. Personally, I think it’s vastly more complicated than that … but then I’ve taken the purple pill, which no doubt brings its own illusions!
Anyway, I wish you luck. And thank you for all you’ve been doing.
Best wishes
Malcolm
As I mentioned before in the forums Google has had teams in place since almost the very beginning (the key people are in Mountain View) who are actively censoring both search results and search content. Within a few months (mid summer 2020) the level of censorship was so heavy handed that very focused search queries for pre 2020 scientific papers would return no relevant results. Even though the exact same query a few months before return the relevant papers. As did DuckDuckGo.
The Google censorship teams are in close liaison with the various DC bureaucracies that want to keep the media narrative “uncontaminated” by other views. And hard information.
Since last November this censorship has now spread to anything involving Trump, election fraud, etc. The content censoring software that filters out all “undesirable” search results is the basis of the software used to mark the Trump article here as “dangerous”. The text used in the warning is deliberately disingenuous. It takes a real technical expertise to create a phishing page in WordPress. And is very easy to detect.
To give you an idea of just how wide ranging the political censorship is in Google search results. It is now far more difficult to search for Nancy Pelosi’s very direct connection with Jim Jones. The Jonestown Massacre guy. In the late 1970’s Pelosi ran congressman Phil Burtons office and Phil Burton was Jim Jones political mentor in San Francisco. Before Jones murdered over a thousand people in jungle. Mostly poor blacks. It was very easy using generic search terms to find the key parts of the Pelosi involvement story using Google search in the past. Now, you have to work and know exactly what you are looking for.
Thats how online censorship works.
Very interesting & helpful thank you.
I know for certain that I read 2-3 papers last year concerning SARS (2003) spike protein.
I recall demonstration that spike induces platelet aggregation.
I worked hard last night for a paper I’m drafting.
No such papers now show up.
Here’s a weirdness. I’m a nothing, especially compared to you, but I have been constantly banned from posting on WordPress blogs, including those owned by friends and people I know. Originally I would be banned from all blogs under any username, but temporarily. At some stage the pattern changed and I was banned permanently by specific username. I got up to four banned usernames on Malcolm kendrick’s blog before admitting defeat.
The only thing I can think of is that I pissed someone off. The only culprits I can think of were a dietician and a high carbing diabetic but neither are competent to do this. Maybe they have friends in 77th. Anyway it’s weird so I can only imagine what someone important and knowledgeable has to go through.
I recall Google Blogger deleting a bunch of low carb blogs as “spam” which is why so many switched to WordPress. Then Facebook deleted a huge (over a million members) “Banting” page in South Africa but strangely not the equivalent sized page from Nigeria. And let’s not even mention Wikipedia.
I always have had my doubts about WordPress. The software is open source but the parent company which is basically just another dot com scam ( a couple of hundred mil $ raised) is run by a complete raving left wing nutcase.
Even by San Francisco standards the guy is very far left / ultra woke. They only hire people who are very left wing or who have drunk that particular political Cool Aid. In fact by local standards their hiring practices are pretty unique for an organization that is not overtly a politically motivated leftist lobbying / activist organization.
So yes, exactly the sort of people who would actively censor and suppress all opinions they dont like. Completely intolerant with no belief in free speech. But like all companies like that in the past once the money runs out they are gone. Or rather “acquired”. But you can be certain that Mr Left Wing Loony will have his personal 10M plus loot safely stashed away. After all the employees have been fired.
Before Google started “shaping” the search results, i.e censoring, not only the main papers come up in the first page of results but most of the cited papers too. DuckDuckGo does not censor the results but does not do as good a job of returning the cited papers. So I found the best way of finding relevant papers is to look for a general or subject survey paper on the subject of interest then manually search on the cited paper titles and authors. A bit more time consuming but it usually turns up the paper you are looking for.
Whether “anti-vax” or “anti-Vax Pass” it shouldn’t make a difference in a free society.
Perhaps that is my dumb opinion.
Free speech is just that; free. As soon as you have to ‘pay’ for speaking either in the form of being censored or banned or only permitted in certain areas then you are already in an authoritarian mess.
Christopher Hitchens makes a great case for free speech, I don’t agree with him on much but I did share his absolutist view on free speech. For the sake of our health, wealth and liberty you should too.
On the issue of Google warnings, the rebranded Daily Sceptics email was flagged up by my Gmail account as a potential phishing scam on the day of its relaunch.
This was patently nonsense. Evidently, Google is now diversifying into the business of thought policing.
That was part of the same issue.
