Achtung! Papers Please! If You Thought ‘Plan B’ Was Bad, Wait Until You Hear About ‘Plan C’

2 min read

Care homes could be slapped with fresh restrictions in the run up to Christmas and masks and vaccine passports made compulsory in pubs and restaurants under a tougher ‘Plan C’ being considered by ministers. MailOnline has more.

Controversial vaccine passports could also be extended to more venues under the suite of measures being floated within Downing Street if the Omicron super variant proves to be as dangerous as scientists fear.

A Government source said it was “very likely” care home residents could be banned from seeing more than three visitors over Christmas, with the hopes of preventing another explosive outbreak in the sector.

But campaign groups warned the plans could be “devastating” with many residents forced to pick family members on what could be their last Christmas.

Other curbs include having to ‘check in’ with the NHS Covid app again to go to a pub or restaurant, using face masks in all indoor spaces, and having to show a vaccine passport at even more venues.

The first part of the Government’s Plan B came into force today with the introduction of compulsory face masks in indoor settings such as theatres, cinemas and churches.

New work-from-home guidance will come into effect on Monday, and MPs will vote the next day on the introduction of vaccine passports for nightclubs and large venues.

Labour said today it was prepared to back the Plan B measures despite a suggestion that many opposition MPs could vote against the plans in protest against ongoing accusations that No10 held a number of lockdown-breaking parties last winter.

Worth reading in full.

Our best hope now is that the Government’s ‘Plan B’ proposals are defeated in the House of Commons next week. But if that is the final straw for Boris and he resigns, the risk is that his temporary successor might be a full-on lockdown zealot.

Not wearing a mask. Why? There isn’t any evidence they work to prevent contracting nor transmitting covid.

The sheeple have been brainwashed as I observed at a concert last night. The hall was full of 70+year old sheeple last night watching and listening to the Blues Band. Sheeple, all masked as told to do. Three of us were not masked. At one point, I realised how easily it is to scare people. All these people have been living with covid for two years, they are alive and well. What exactly do they think is going to happen to them. The stats are in, we know who is at risk for death, we know how to treat covid early to avoid hospitalisation and death, we know what supplements to take, foods to eat, sleep to get, exercise to do. So, why are people afraid?

because the idiots running this shitshow told them to be afraid and never explained all the other data/information/ and behaviours we know will keep you alive. Shame on SAGE, shame on our politicians, shame on every doctor who has participated in this medical negligence. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

We have no hope of defeat in the Commons.
Our only hope – what a hope to have to have – of avoiding full totalitarianism across the world is that the damage caused by these experimental injections becomes so clear that the hypnotic spell on the people through their naivety, their fear of death, their fear of losing their incomes, is broken.
It will have to be very extreme, very clear for that to happen.
It will not be a short process and persecution of people like us would intensify greatly in the mean time.
Otherwise, totalitarianism is inevitable.

My free salt water cure is not much good for the mRNA vaccinated non humans (see below) because they don’t have any human rights at all, but for those, who like me, are not vaccinated, this will be your get out of vaccination free card:
Covid Crusher: Mix one heaped teaspoon of Iodine table salt in a mug of warm clean water, cup a hand and sniff or snort the entire mugful up your nose, spitting out anything which comes down into your mouth. If sore, then you have a virus, so continue morning noon and night, or more often if you want, until the soreness goes away (2-3 minutes) then blow out your nose and flush away, washing your hands afterwards, until when you do my simple cure, you don’t have any soreness at all, when you flush – job done. Also swallow a couple of mouthfuls of salt water and if you have burning in your lungs, salt killing virus and pneumonia there too.

mRNA vaccinated people worldwide are products, patented goods, according to US law, “no longer human”.
°   Esme Coetzee 10 Dec 2021 at 4:55 PM #63403

GMO HUMANS https://ambassadorlove.wordpress.com/2021/12/08/covid-19-patent-horrors/

All the Covid-19 “vaccine” patents mention gene deletion. All the patents except one, mention “complimentary DNA” (cDNA). cDNA is a chimeric mRNA cocktail that’s being coded into Human cells using artificial genetic sequences in cross-species genomics.

According to the US Supreme Court ruling in 2013, altering Humans with cDNA makes them patent eligible. The court documents show that cDNA is made using modified bacterium and Supreme Court judges ruled it patent eligible. This means that a plant, animal or Human, could be patented and owned if first genetically modified with cDNA.

Mark Steele summarized it perfectly by stating:

In the US, the Supreme Court has ruled that vaccinated people worldwide are products, patented goods, according to US law, no longer human. Through a modified DNA or RNA vaccination, “the mRNA vaccination”, the person ceases to be human and becomes the OWNER of the holder of the modified GEN vaccination patent, because they have their own genome and are no longer “human” (without natural people), but “trans-human”, so a category that does not exist… Read more »

“Controversial vaccine passports could also be extended to more venues under the suite of measures being floated within Downing Street if the Omicron super variant proves to be as dangerous as scientists fear.”

https://order-order.com/2021/12/09/new-eu-and-us-medicine-chiefs-say-omicron-is-mild/

“As the UK government hits the ‘Plan B’ button in a moment of epidemiological stringency, in the past 24 hours both the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the EU Medicine Agency have both said cases remain mild.

15 hours ago the CDC Chief said that of the more-than-40 people in the US have been infected with Omicron, “nearly all of them were only mildly ill” and the “the disease is mild”. Just one person’s been hospitalised.

In the last few minutes the European Medicines Agency matched this, saying cases so far appear to be “mostly mild”:

“Cases appear to be mostly mild, however we need to gather more evidence to determine whether the spectrum of disease severity caused by Omicron is different (to) that of all the variants that have been circulating so far”

Meanwhile the UK government is preparing to hit the UK economy with a stay-at-home order, based on no hospitalisation or death data suggesting it’s necessary. Has the government secretly hired Jacinda as an adviser recently?”

Toby et al – I am getting increasingly frustrated at reading all of your articles complaining about the plan b and plan c and etc and etc – why why WHY does nobody EVER start pushing back with the most obvious thing – all of these proposed restrictions would be completely unnecessary to even talk about if the gov or NHS or whoever was using the available, highly effective treatments for any of the so-called variants – all available here – https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/FLCCC-Protocols-%E2%80%93-A-Guide-to-the-Management-of-COVID-19.pdf 
– or here https://bird-group.org/protocols/  

You need to just refuse to accept their basic premise, that this is potentially a serious disease for which no useful treatments are available so ‘NPI’s are justifiable – and I’d be screaming this in their f***ing lying faces when they even dare raise the idea of ‘mandatory vaccinations’ –

We’ve all been familiar with this game since the Nobody wants another lockdown! October of last year. The people behind these policies – and that’s not some group of shady oligarchs but some group of experts in applied statistics long past their best-before-end date – will not voluntarily stop at anything short of another lockdown plus showing proof of vaccination everywhere a checkpoint can be installed.

They will keep demanding this in any case, completely regardless of actual or perceived properties of any pathogen. Face mask don’t have to be worn because of Corona, they have to be worn because Susan Michie claims to believe that’s generally sensible and Sars-CoV2 is just the vehicle to get this implemented.

The truth is, if it was The Blitz, Hyde and her fawning acolytes would have been “working from home” in their country hideaways. If the Germans had invaded, they would have welcomed them with open arms and legs. Hyde and her ilk would have been on their knees, sucking Nazi cock for a loaf of bread or a packet of cigarettes, and gargling the “Horst Wessel” song with pure Aryan semen, for a bar of chocolate and a packet of coffee.

I can only speak from my own experience but I’ve come across loads more people lately who are starting to wake up to what’s happening, even a few former lockdown zealots!

I think they’re issuing all these threats because they’re scared. They know that their narrative is cracking all over the place and they’re running out of time. People are starting to push back all over the world. I think we need to stay strong and positive and beat these f**kers.

Now, most people I meet for the first time at the very least are pissed off about it all and feel conned , and increasingly are starting to accept that some “conspiracy theories” might actually have been right all along.

Always the same narrative. Promise a light at the end of the tunnel and at the very last moment snatch it away. Then put the blame for the issue on a minority. What the masses fail to realise it that the situation will always be structured so that there is always a minority to blame, thus distracting everyone from the main issue and perpetuating the cycle.

There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The problem is that our enlightened political leaders keep believing that it’s just another mile before they can finally stop erecting another mile of tunnel and that the people advising them want nothing but build the longest possible tunnel they can get away with.

Instead of staging another useless horse on its hindlegs demonstration in parliament, members from the reportedly governing party should try to get rid of all these experts in getting Labour policies implemented.

Not much chance of a defeat, with Labour full of zero covid fools. Though, hope springs eternal…

But Johnson going, that certainly looks a possibility in the next few months. He’s made few friends by his weakness and various betrayals.

With that said, I agree with Toby Young that his replacement with a more panicker-friendly PM should be a major concern for us (unless you are of the “worse the better” school on this, and gambling on them pushing even the compliant British public into mass resistance).

I would be interested in Toby’s assessment of the various potential leadership candidates from the perspective of the covid-sane, with a bit of “Kremlinology” analysis of their behaviour and words on the topic over the past two years. That’s something we won’t get honestly done in the mainstream media, and where his personal knowledge and contacts would definitely add value.

Which is no defence to his personal responsibility for all that has happened on his watch. He needs to go, and his failure and misfeasance in office should be remembered forever and never forgiven. I just think it’s useful to be as precise as possible on these things.

if the Omicron super variant proves to be as dangerous as scientists fear.

Those people are not genuine scientists. These are scientists who have prostituted themselves.

They ought to take a look at what is happening in South Africa. Oh, yes, the Omicron variant is spreading, but that’s a good thing since it is less virulent then Delta and will displace it. That’s what happens with viruses: the ones that supplant the others are the more transmissible, less virulent sort.

And here’s what is reported (my bold):

Cases of coronavirus in Africa nearly doubled over a week as the Omicron variant has spread, but hospitalizations in South Africa, where the new variant was discovered, remain low, the UN said Thursday, according to AFP.







In a weekly online press briefing, the World Health Organization’s Africa branch said the continent had recorded 107,000 extra cases in the week to Sunday, compared with 55,000 in the previous week.







Omicron “is reaching more countries in Africa,” it said, adding that research was being stepped up to see whether the new variant was specifically behind the sharp rise. The biggest surge in numbers — 140 percent on average — was in the south of the continent.

You have the advantage of the Republican Party, much of which has openly resisted mandates, both mask and vaccine, and many of whom recovered from the worst panic some time back.

Politically, you should think of the UK as akin to a NE US Democrat fiefdom, with basically no genuinely conservative politicians and office contested between various sects of leftist collectivists, who have naturally been full on panickers because they can see how great it is for the collectivist nanny state, and for their corporate backers.

I assure you that your analysisis spot-on for Germany, just a little bit worse because the currently influential crop of German politicians all more-or-less believe that their duty is to keep a thumb on the Nazi population of the American satellite state they’re administrating. The situation in Austria is very likely the same again, except still worse as Austria, being an entirely artifical construct similar to all these middle eastern states the Entente powers carved out of the former ottoman empire, isn’t even notionally sovereign. One could even venture a guess that this also applies to Italy to a degree, considering that it also fought on the wrong side of the second world war.

You (not you personally, but you-the-people of the allied powers) really need to face the responsibility that this all just the outcome of your grand designs for world peace by politically atomizing and ethnically cleansing central Europe.
