We’re publishing an original essay today by regular Daily Sceptic contributor Dr. Sinéad Murphy, an Associate Researcher in Philosophy at Newcastle University, arguing that Covid restrictions have left both the young and the old feeling profoundly disorientated. Here is an extract:
Of all descriptions of the condition of autism, a want of orientation may be the most accurate. Children with autism cannot find their place in the world by the usual landmarks. Words and objects that would normally be salient and around which meaningful experience would cluster do not stand out for them even in familiar interactions and environments; there really could be an elephant in the room.
The world, it seems, is not for children with autism; they cannot make themselves at home in it.
This lack of orientation of those with autism is sadly echoed in a condition that is also remarkably on the rise and into whose terminal fog so many of our old people now wander and get lost: Alzheimer’s Disease, and the other forms of dementia.
Indeed, life now is increasingly book-ended by these conditions of disorientation, by autism and by dementia; the one affecting those youngest amongst us who cannot get a foothold on the world; the other affecting those oldest amongst us whose fingertips are losing their grasp.
It is uncertain which condition is the sadder; whether a child’s struggle to be at home in the world is more affecting than an old person’s struggle to stay at home in it. Either way, they describe a growing phenomenon of disorientation in our young and old people, a rising tide of bewilderment.

Let go of the counterpoint narrative, the lockstep agenda destroying graphs-n-charts… it’s pointless. The GPPP are currently fully in control of Bozo’s puppet govt, as they are of most of the lockdown compliant EU, Canadian, Australian and NZ politicos.
If it was ever about your “health” why have workable early treatment protocols been systematically shut down and made unavailable these last two years?

Fauci is a global focal point GAVI/Gates tool… who impacts the vaxx agenda internationally and here in the UK, he really needs to go, prison ideally.

If the vaccines were safe and effective [what utter bollocks] why would mandatory measures be a necessity at all?
Sad to say we’re in for a crappy Shitmas as currently there is no end to this Reset agenda, i.e. the controlled chaos demolitions of all you held dear lifestyle old normal. The ongoing destruction of the UK hospitality sector is despicable. Here’s a rational explanation of this rolling BUILD BACK BETTER agenda for the greater good /s.

Be seeing you
Yes and these occultists schedule their plans by particular dates, such as winter solstice tomorrow – 21/12/21, shortest therefore darkest day of the year. If nothing comes to pass, I’ll be very happy to be wrong about this prediction.
Both young and old instinctively trust the authorities. Both groups are being corrupted as well as abused. The enormity of the Biggest Lie in History cannot sink in without disorientation, cognitive dissonance, mental disturbance and horror.
Anarchy is coming to the USA.
That would be a positive.
Yes it does appear so- even the break up of the United States ( very much part of the CCP agenda of course!).
I fear they may try to introduce anarchy and conflict here too.
Just when you thought things were going our way for a change.
Tens of thousands flood Vienna streets to commemorate Covid victims
Protesters were filmed putting it on the police (more appropriately, Government policy enforcers/Thugs in fancy dress) outside Downing Street:

After nearly two years of this, do you think the penny dropped for Plod here?
No . Jobsworths to a (wo)man.
Unfortunately, having been on the march, it appeared to me that this was a stooge putting it on his paymasters
Not Just A Conspiracy Theory After All – Swedish Company Develop Implant For COVID Vaccination Certificate

Pfizer has already patented ‘electronic pills’. Presumably these tell the authorities that they’re in your body.
Many people find statins useless and stop taking them but don’t tell their doctor, because some GPs can be so determined that patients follow orders. Will you now be forced to medicate yourself?
I’ve never regarded doctors as ‘authority’. Strangely, some people without science degrees look up to them. The more I learn about their general arrogance and inability to understand statistics, the more I look down on them! (Drs. Kendrick, Grimes, Unwin, etc excepted.)
My God, that picture is heart-breaking. These animals making all this happen need to be dispatched.
Some good news in Italy: The military warehouse where vaccines were stored is on fire.
Have to say this is mostly because of disingenuous, misleading, duplicitous, jobsworths at local authorities who can’t interpret guidelines and prefer enforcement in any of its guises
These nonentities just love the sniff of power – just like the Stationmasters in Nazi Germany with their grand uniforms!!
Truth bomb.
Excellent
Absolutely!
As far as my experience goes, the old have at this point lost touch with reality.
Me and my partner just sold and moved out of our house on Friday into my parent’s house as an interim before we make our next move. The intention was also to avert any potential problems a Christmas lockdown would pose.
Unfortunately, I underestimated the extent to which my dad has been terrified and brainwashed by the telescreen in their Livingroom. After I returned from a Christmas meet-up with an old friend, he demanded I take a test to determine any chance I might infect my mother.
Because I refused I was told in no uncertain terms that both me and my partner must leave without delay. I was told that I am selfish for endangering my own mother’s life, that it will be on me if she gets ill or worse.
While I am furious with him for behaving like this, I make a conscious effort to redirect my anger at scumbags like Savij Jabid.
This type of crap is happening all over the country. This revolting government seems confident that its population can self police/lockdown, shame and mandate with very nudging or prompting.
meant to say very little nudging or prompting
Might I suggest a compromise? How about offering to take a test if your dad will sit down with you and tell you what he believes about Covid, and allow you to do the same?
Too late for silly games.
This is the problem; the extent to which he believes the psyops is now beyond reason. I cant debate with him or discuss covid without one of us losing our temper. And I’m also passed the point of trying to justify my position. We’re at an impasse.
Ok, I understand. I have 20-year friends who are unreachable. You have to cut them loose and walk away. Terrible when it’s family. The people responsible for this are literally monsters, totally devoid of empathy.
Me too. I have lost contact with my daughter and grandson. She and her husband are “Branch Covidians”. The last time I spoke to her, she accused me of not caring that she had had a total breakdown of her health this year and struggled to do daily household chores. When I stated that I would be willing to do the 120 mile-round return journey to London to see her fortnightly. as I did before the scamdemic, she stated that there was no way this would happen all the time I continued in my boneheaded objection to vaccination. For her, me not being vaccinated, was about “not caring for me or my son”. Of course, had I had even hinted that her poor health( and miscarriage) might be due to her having had a vaccine during the summer, the phone would have been burning incandescent with her rage.
I cannot even begin to express my outrage and contempt for those who are knowingly orchestrating this breakup of families throughout the land.
Despite what you think of him, Javid is responsible only for his own actions. He’s not responsible for your father’s nasty manipulative idiocy.
Javid is lying to the people and trying to whip up animosity and hatred directed at a group of people – just imagine what would be said if it was happening to him!
Tell him the test is a total fraud and that Drosten who made it all up with data from the CCP, is a cheat who faked his academic credentials.
It is all on record with Reiner Fuellmich. PCR Scamdemic!
This is the route I’m taking. Unfortunately there’s no reasoning with him anymore – and he’s even more freaked out because my uncle’s friend, who they say is an “anti-vaxxer”, is allegedly being put into an induced coma because he’s got covid.
Not all old. I managed a discussion with my deaf dad. Eventually he said, “I think that some people did something, then everybody else went along with it.” He gets it.
It’s all very disturbing (including the dystopian and abhorrent picture used in the article).
If, to be a member of Sage, you had to prove no self interest, they would all be gone
The intention is clearly to destroy the old normal (that is all civilised, human community life) by breaking down all accepted aspects of social intercourse and group activity in order to isolate the trembling, paranoid individuals in their masks so as to install the “New Normal”- on a pacified, enslaved society of morons controlled by the Pharma Industry from cradle to grave living in isolation from each other while logged into Zuckerberg’s new pseudo-social digital systems and digital banking which controls our access to money on the basis of total compliance.
This is a massive, evil psychological and chemical experiment on mankind to serve the interests of the Super Rich and return the peasants to a meaningless life – worse than medieval serfdom. In such a world human life becomes valueless and not worth living.”The syringe jabbing into the human arm – forever” ( as Orwell might have said) – people will in effect become forced Drug Addicts, open to any experimentation and with no minds of their own – hence ‘owning nothing and being happy’ to quote Schwab.
The manifest evil of the WEF, CCP, Big Tech, Big Banks, Corporates and Billionaires coup against humanity is far too big for most to understand – vaxxed to the hilt with a dozen of their pathogen spike protein “boosters” there will not be much left of them to object – they will be too busy dealing with the collapse of natural immune systems and all the associated devastating “health problems” and ‘side effects’ ( heart disease, cancers. strokes, palsies etc) that will be created and for which Pfizer ($$$$$) will provide more jab ‘solutions’ before turning off the tap at their pleasure. to ‘manage’ the size of the world’s population..
It is fiendish beyond out imagination – which explains why so many simply cannot see it- and we know exactly which fiendish brains thought it all up!
Two names to focus attention on the origins of all this – Gates and Fauci.
Read RF Kennedy’s book ‘The Real Anthony Fauci” …and weep!
You have to hand it to them -‘ weaponising’ the world’s Health Service and pharma suppliers to turn them against the world’s population was a stroke of malevolent genius .
Our precious bodily health – the last place you would expect to find the tyrant’s jackboot breaking down the door.
The big surprise is the complicit involvement of all those Institutions we have always trusted ( naively as it turns out) to be acting in our interests – Parliament and politicians, Media, Health Services, the Courts – all engaged in the orchestrated massive tissue of lies they have collectively constructed to fool the people – perhaps this shock is just too much for most to bear and this helps explain their servile compliance and acceptance of the increasingly crumbling, non- credible narrative.
The fact still remains that it only happens if we allow it. If we do, we will be responsible for our own downfall.
I am sick of hearing….”It is what it is.”
Those who can make you believe and perform absurdities…
In 1916 fit young men walked up-hill, through knee deep mud into machine guns. – apparently this was for “King and Country”.
Aha: took me a few seconds to realise that this was the lift down to hell.
The premise is sound but the body positioning is incorrect. By facing outwards, the virus particles will strike the metal walls and ricochet around inside the lift, like bullets. This needs tweaking.
Quite frankly, this is the largest and most comprehensive assault on humanity ever. It literally is global. And many are totally unaware that humanity is now at war. The perpetrator and aggressor? Mr Global, and if you are awake you know who that is and who the sub-lieutenants are.
Off topic I know, but Vallance and Van Tam seem to have disappeared from the scene of the crime. Anybody know why?
Yes – it’s all witless now. Perhaps Vallance had a pang of conscience!?
He’s the first one Fauci called, so he’s laying low not conscience .
Yes, think that is more likely given the Letter for Action sent recently to the MHRA
Hmm, doubt that. Think that ‘They live and we lockdown, could more likely be on the right track,
That picture should shock everyone to the core. We must all be ashamed to have allowed this to happen. As I sit here writing yet another comment, I’m ashamed that I’m not out there doing something more actively to stop this. We must somehow seize power from the psychopaths who are making these rules. Anyone tasked with enforcing them should quit their jobs, or refuse to comply and wait to be fired. We cannot allow this to happen to our world. We must all refuse to comply. In another pitifully inadequate protest this morning, I did my weekly shopping without a mask. Pitiful, I know, but if everyone did it, it would make a difference. The words “I’m exempt” were all that were required, and I don’t suppose for a moment the shop assistant understood the power behind those words. It’s time we all considered ourselves exempt from being demeaned and dehumanised. It’s time to stop this madness, whatever it takes.
Well done Chris, seriously, re the maskless shopping. Not pitiful but admirable.
I have never worn a mask anywhere, since right from the start of all this. I have not been challenged, apart from the polite but muffled enquiry from the supermarket door goons. I just stride past telling them ‘No I don’t wear one’
I have seen my GP 3 times, attended A&E 5 times for myself and with others, travelled on public transport etc etc, all without a mask
I deliberately engage smilingly with the check out staff and anyone I need to. Just ignore it. Once you start, it gets easier and easier
And don’t resort to the lanyard rubbish, that’s playing their game
I’m a petite 63 year old woman. Never had any trouble. Go for it
Autism (along with many other injuries) is caused by vaccination.
The book ‘How to end the autism epidemic’ by JB Handley provides all the latest scientific evidence that explains how and why.
I refuse to have been caused by vaccination. Especially, as the targetted vaccine didn’t even exist at the time I was born.
To add sort-of a data point here: To me, it has always been my world, just with parts of it being occupied by alien people who don’t seem to notice much of it. Since they’ve all remasked themselves, this impression as only gotten more intense.
I have found it next to impossible to preach to masked up faces. I find the few who remained unmasked a blessing. Then again, yesterday, no one in church was masked. Hurrah!
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko said anyone that willfully vilified and obstructed access to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19 is guilty of first degree capital murder, genocide, and crimes against humanity. They are trying to jab as many people as possible so that their great reset aka depopulation plan work. I believe in God & Jesus. If I get sick I will take my Ivermectin that I stashed just in case and leave rest to God. If you want to get Ivermectin you can visit https://ivmpharmacy.com
All those that damaged/destroyed the lives of the elderly and children, must be brought have their day in court to attempt to explain why exactly they did what they did.
The passage about the swimming lessons struck a chord. We take our two little ones swimming, and even before the latest restrictions someone complained about us not wearing masks. Now there are signs up everywhere telling all to wear masks. We still don’t wear masks.
I cannot understand the mentality of any parent who masks themselves in front of their children.
