The Covid Inquiry Must Not Miss the Small Picture

2 min read

Allison Pearson has written a terrific piece for the Telegraph about the forthcoming Covid inquiry. She is anxious that Lady Hallett might go easy on some of the senior politicians responsible for Britain’s disastrous response to the pandemic – such as Matt Hancock – and that she won’t examine the impact on ordinary people and their children. Allison points out that you can still suggest things that should be added to the Terms of Reference here (the deadline is April 7th) and suggests six things herself.

  • At a No 10 briefing in March 2020, Michael Gove said that the virus did not discriminate: “Everyone is at risk.” And yet it was clear Covid was a highly discriminatory virus; people over 75 were 10,000 times more likely to die from it than those under 15. Who authorised the decision to press ahead with a misinformation campaign telling the public that “all age groups are at risk”, and why?
  • On March 22nd, 2020, a paper by SPI-B (the committee giving behavioural science advice to the Government) said: “The perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are complacent, using hard-hitting, emotional messaging.” Why was it agreed to use fear as a weapon to increase compliance with the coronavirus rules when the public were already showing signs of using their common sense and staying home? What are the likely long-term mental health effects, on children in particular, of telling all age groups they should be scared of Covid?
  • Next slide, please! Some of the graphs shown at the No 10 briefings by Professor Sir Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance picked the lowest historic data point to contrast with the highest projected data point. Expressing data in percentage terms also heightened the sense of alarm. We need a thorough analysis of the veracity of every slide shown to the British people, please, Lady Hallett.
  • In the Netherlands, at the peak of the pandemic, the Dutch health system lost only 4% capacity. What percentage capacity did the NHS lose?
  • What role did militant teaching unions play in keeping schools shut for so long? Oh, and why was Gavin Williamson, then education secretary, knighted – for services to buggering up British kids’ education?
  • And finally, how exactly did throwing a wedding bouquet spread Covid?

Worth reading in full.

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.

My simple salt water cure, kills all Coronaviruses and viruses, as soon as you think you have an infection, or while self isolating, before the viruses mutate into the disease in your head and body, for which there is no cure – that is, after you have been out shopping, or mixing with people with potentially, Omicron or Delta viruses, or any other virus.

The vaccines are working really well, don’t you think?: 1) Official Biochemical and Statistical Evidence 100% confirms Moderna created Covid-19 patented in 2013
Covid-19 means: 19 nucleotide sequence and not 2019 at all.
By The Exposé on March 3, 2022
Evidence has emerged which proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the pharmaceutical giant Moderna, the company that has made billions through the sale of an experimental Covid-19 injection, actually created the Covid-19 virus.
They cited a Paper by Scientists in India, Switzerland, Italy and the US (cautiously entitled: MSH3 Homology and Potential Recombination Link to SARS-CoV-2 Furin Cleavage Site) in which they calculated that the chances of a 19 nucleotide sequence patented by Moderna randomly appearing in Covid-19 in circumstances where it does not appear anywhere else in nature are 1 in 3 trillion.
Furthermore they did not merely apply for a patent on 2016 February 4 with US9587003B2: as reported in the Daily Mail. They actually applied on 2013 December 16 for 4 patents with US9149506B2, US9216205B2, US9255129B2, US9301993B2:as well.
So Moderna had developed the 19 nucleotide gene sequence containing the Furin Cleavage Site which gives Covid19 its infectivity to humans by patented gain of function research as early as 2013,… Read more »

The list of questions to be asked is almost endless. The likelihood is that most will be either ignored or papered over. Does any true sceptic among us think that the establishment is not going to close ranks? Knighthoods for ” education” ministers is the least of our worries. The Schwab/Gates alliance keeps on rolling: Deltacrom and a fake fuel crisis are already here. Will the public care much about which lying manipulator said what when they’re struggling to put food on the table or pay the ‘leccy bill? Beware the military/industrial complex indeed…

The most important question for me is why did they stop? (at least in the UK). If vaccine passports and other technocratic control methods were the end game, why did they suddenly move on? They had the fraudulent ‘case numbers’ to justify bringing about the worst excesses of tyranny including forced vaccination and vaxpasses at the end of 2021. What changed? Answer that, and we’ve solved this riddle.

I often think about that too. One possibility is that they had “done enough” with covid – they had got the infrastructure in place and knew how compliant ‘enough’ of the population would be so that ‘next time around’ they could finish the job off – maybe it was a timing thing – don’t want to rush to do it all at once and too soon for fear of scaring the horses, or worse, enough people copping on and then they would have had to abandon it all. Who knows? I also thought it was VERY odd that all of the countries literally turned covid off like a tap in lockstep and almost all at the same time within a matter of weeks. There was definitely someone in a central control centre issuing the order – very hard to see otherwise. I see it as more of a ‘pause’ than a “stop”. I trust nothing now.

If you accepted odds on criminal proceedings actually taking place, I would say these odds would be about 100,000 to 1 that they will never occur. What government(s) in the world would call for any type of “Nuremberg 2.0” tribunal?

On reflection I want civil proceedings. This is because it’s much easier to prove covil liability than it is to prove guilt in a criminal court. The damages just need to be high enough to bankrupt the defendant.

I’ve always thought that UK bankruptcy rules are very harsh. The few people I know who’ve gone through the process seem to be de facto barred from ever getting a mortgage again. They’ll be at the mercy of a private landlord for the rest of their lives.

So it seems a fitting punishment for these bastards.

It’s said that journalism is the first draft of history. If this is the case (and it is), this “first draft” has completely missed the real story. Lots of future revisions and re-assesments will be required. I agree with you that it’s highly questionable whether more honest assessments will be forthcoming … and how long it will take to get the true story.

Maybe such re-assesments will occur. If this is the case, many more people and organizations need to be scrambling to ensure they will one day be on the right side of history.

This is from the Children’s Health Defense League website today. It was part of an article on the German CEO of BKK insurance company losing his job and that the data has been removed.

” Statistician Matthew Crawford, who also reviewed Schofbeck’s claims, calculated that with potentially 31,000 vaccine-related deaths in Germany — a country of 82 million — it follows that 120,000 vaccine-related deaths may have occurred in the U.S.
That number approximates Crawford’s original estimations, made in August 2021.
How could so many potentially fatal complications from COVID vaccines escape the attention of the CDC?

According to Crawford, the CDC chose to identify risk by using an obscure computation called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR). As the name implies, this system is based on ratios of different event types and is utterly blind to the absolute rate of such events.
The result of using such a formula is that even if a vaccine is associated with substantially higher risk of injury, no alarm will sound if the vaccine raises risks of different types uniformly, no matter to what degree.

In other words, if the risk of myocarditis from a Covid-19 vaccine is, for example, twenty times higher than from other vaccines, the… Read more »

It will be very interesting (and important) to see if these rising death totals – paid out by life insurance companies from ALL OVER THE WORLD – somehow make it into the mainstream press.

The fact that this should already be Page-1 news (and has not been) leads me to conclude that, as inexplicable as it may seem, even this news will be largely suppressed and not resonate with the masses.

Steve Kirsch has been trying to make happen the one event(s) that might change the narrative – a REAL debate between experts and authorities skeptical of the myriad components of the COVID narrative and those who defend all of the mitigation policies and mandates.

The brilliance of Kirsch’s campaign is that he knows no “authority” is willing to DEFEND these policies in a genuine public debate. This is such a giant “tell.”

To me it points to a conditioning exercise, and also gave governments an accurate picture of how compliant their populations were. If there’s a financial collapse on the horizon and you know you’re going to have millions of angry/hungry people to control, this knowledge is essential. If this was the case, then the rules would be deliberately incoherent and arbitrary, which they most certainly were.

My contribution:

On the 18th of December, 2021, Fraser Nelson of The Spectator published an exchange he had with Graham Medley, the chair of the Sage modelling committee. In this exchange, Medley states that the only scenarios that were ever modelled were the ones where decision makers would need to make a decision, which are the most serious scenarios, using the most extreme assumptions. More moderate and likely scenarios which did not indicate the need for social measures such as lockdowns, were ignored. This means that all the models both us, the public, and the decision makers were shown were those that required restrictions to be put in place. As such, the following questions must be answered:

Who told SAGE that they should only model the most extreme scenarios and ignore the more likely, moderate scenarios that did not lead to restrictions? Were decision makers ever aware that the data they were given was designed with the specific goal in mind to get them to enact more restrictions? Were the models and outcomes produced by SAGE ever reviewed by a third party to ensure that they are built on sound assumptions? Why did the government surround itself with “yes men”… Read more »

My sense about the Covid exercise is that it is so egregious and desperate that:
(a) it must have been driven by a perceived crisis as opposed to a vanity project designed to bring about the technocratic control grid many sceptics obsess about; and
(b) those pushing it can’t have thought there would be a functioning society at the end of it within which they could be investigated, arrested and served justice.
In summary, I still think it’s a panic move.

Sorry CG, but no way was the government reaction to C1984 a panic move. Bozo and Co were under orders from Globocap from the start and so knew full well what their mission was. The very fact that most other national governments were in Lockstep confirms they were working to Agenda 2030 and still are.

As the evidence is being revealed it is becoming crystal clear that the overall aim was and is depopulation; both Kate and Victoria posted excellent pieces with article links on here last night confirming this.

The “vaccines” have been brewed to a recipe with next generation infertility built in which explains the push to inject even babies. Fauci owns one of the patents. “Ingredients” are being manually added to the “vaccines.”

The suggestion that all national governments panicked is a fallacy they may now seek to promote but it has no basis in reality. Just like NPI’s the intended outcome is the exact opposite of the one being pushed.

We are facing Democide and no question. For any that might survive the future is technocratic slavery.

I wish I could agree, but it is worth taking a long hard look at Stanley Johnson’s work, particularly his books on depopulation. It is then worth working out at what age Boris was when father Stanley was writing his books, saying that the optimum population of the UK was 5-10M.

After that it is worth exploring whether Boris has ever contradicted his father on this, for not all fathers and sons agree. Unfortunately he also speaks of overpopulation being a big, big problem.

Of course no one is going to be evidently nasty and tell those down for death as to why, how, and who. But you can be sure it is not their own. Nor would being predominantly native to the UK for centuries be the issue, since there will be no ethnic cleansing of those with Turkish or Swedish backgrounds!! It is the oiks, the NLU people, the gullible, the handicapped, the non-elite elderly and old, the ‘useless eaters’. It sounds insane, it is insane, and I wish to God it were not so.

Always “follow the money.” Where does the money really come from these days? It comes from digital printing presses. The money is created out of thin air.

Once fully implemented/enacted, the digital currency “reform” will probably result in a “cashless society.” This will make it much easier for the State to confiscate “your” money – which is really their money. This will also create a digital “carrot and stick” system to keep the masses participating in only approved economic activities and transactions.

Rarely mentioned in all of this discussion about the big picture is the important role that gold and silver (“History’s money”) play in monetary matters and fiscal markets. Basically, sentiment for gold and silver – which are kind of kryptonite to fiat currencies – must be kept atrocious… less people in mass begin to abandon our current “Monopoly money.” Myself (and other conspiracy kooks) think that gold and silver have been intentionally maligned and the “markets” for precious metals suppressed …. to protect the fiat printing presses. Again, “follow the money.”

The key is debt and how long the “Herd” continues to prop up the weight of debt. It will be fine until that herd instinct is broken – then the corollary to the supportive instinct, which will evaporate, will render the burden of debt too heavy. Then you will get the questions such as “why did we not see that X was unsustainable before?” What was “accepted ” becomes the weakest link.

If the Chinese wanted to stuff the US , they could dump $ debt on the market and cause a massive crash; but that would stuff their own economy which supplies billions of goods to the US, goods which would have no market post crash.

Whilst I wouldn’t for a minute put depopulation beneath the ruling class, the thing I can’t get past or round is how this could be implemented through the sheer number of workers/scientists involved in developing the vaccines. As far as I can see Bill Gates has created the vaccine economy, and by throwing obscene amounts of money at it, I am sure he has effectively created a kind of cult of vaccines where the most evangelical scientists are promoted and rewarded and critics are removed from the equation. So this easily explains the demented push amongst this part of the scientific community to vaccinate the world, no matter how nonsensical this is. It also explains how the abundant evidence of vaccine harm is minimised or ignored. Having bought the media also helps of course.
What it doesn’t explain is how, realistically, a proportion of these scientists could be tasked with effective ways to exterminate or sterilise vast numbers of people. I’m not saying that it’s impossible but it seems implausible.
That’s why, to me, the most rational explanation is that the S1 spike protein and the vaccine were developed in tandem and designed to be a means of control. This… Read more »

But is there not evidence already out there quite some time ago (Ryan Cole?) saying that the lipid nano particles and the spike protein have been found in ovarian tissue and this is why there is a concern about female fertility and the jabs being forced on young girls who will effectively be sterilised by them – hence one part of the depopulation job done by preventing more reproduction.

And then another part of the depopulation agenda is furthered by the jabbing adverse events and illnesses – we have all seen the Pfizer pages and pages of the side effects they knew about before this product was approved even for EUA – there is no way of knowing the sheer quantity of people who will be done for by virtue of the… Read more »

I think they fantasise about a world in which they wield great power (over who?) and are served and admired (again by whom?). Just as Milton describes Adam eating the apple and it turns into ashes in the mouth, so for them there are massive factors that they have overlooked and if they ‘succeed’ they will end up massively miserable.

They have not understood, as Robert Zubrin shows clearly in the early chapters of his book, “Merchants of Despair” that human happiness and prosperity has an ingenuity and creativity factor that has an incremental dependence upon quite a large population.

Firstly my brain is most certainly not better than yours!! There’s probably a certain amount of denial going on on my part. I find it really hard to comprehend the premeditated murder of millions of people but then, I’m not a member of the ruling class who believes that most people are useless eaters and it’s my right and duty to exterminate or sterilise them if i no longer have any need for their productivity!
It’s very hard for me to explain how a product so clearly harmful could be given to so many people under a web of lies and deception without the intention being to harm them. I’m kind of bending over backwards to find an answer.
But if harm/depopulation/sterilisation really was the intention, how many people would need to have known this and how did it get past the ones who didn’t? That’s what’s so baffling to me. The only way I can make sense of it is if there’s a sense amongst the ruling elite that this was a better alternative than societal breakdown, which they may have seen coming because the economy is dead. Will we ever know??!

I think our common problem is that we probably adhere to values and beliefs which all of the people who are involved in this and who have designed it simply do not share, so that means 2 things – a) they have absolutely zero compunction about what they are doing – they don’t see it as wrong and I would imagine they feel zero guilt about any of it, they probably don’t even know what it means to feel guilty about anything and they have probably convinced themselves that they are doing mankind a service and b) we cannot begin to comprehend the ways in which their minds work or how someone could be so deceitful and so evil – there just isn’t any other word for it – and it is mind bending to even begin to try.

Hard though it is to accept I have come to the conclusion now that this isn’t some kind of cock-up or mistake (why would you need the likes of SPI-B and their hideous lying nudging it it was a mistake and if you look at all the posts above about the inquiry that was a LOT of mistakes they were making).… Read more »

Can’t disagree with any of that. I guess I’ve just defeated my own argument and not for the first time! I imagine that the royals for instance have deeply entrenched values and principles that would appall most people and that they see themselves as custodians of their subjects and empowered to dominate, control, deceive and destroy anyone not of their bloodline. I’m sure they don’t regard themselves as evil, rather duty bound to make tough decisions for what they believe to be the greater good (as long as it’s one where they’re in charge) and I suppose it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine the Davos crowd granting themselves the same power. I also know that compartmentalisation is a wickedly powerful means of carrying out horrors without anyone whistle blowing.
But, if I had to put money on it, I’d still lean towards the vaccine programme being driven by the need to get everyone on to a digital privilege system (and identify those who won’t comply).

Of course for this purpose they could have just used a placebo.

Oh no I’m defeating my own argument again.

Our so-called ‘elites’ are our real enemy. They have been at it for over a century. Wall Street created the Bolshevik revolution, built the USSR and financed the Nazis. They were still financing certain German industries in WW2 while the RAF and USAAF bombed cities but carefully didn’t target certain factories. Read the works of Antony Sutton. It is the Western so-called ‘elites’ who are our real enemies. Not Putin, nor Xi.

What complete and utter ill informed bollox.

For the first 4 years of the war the RAF could not bomb a target within a radius of many miles – how on this earth could they and the USAAF carefully ignore “certain factories”?

It took a genius – Sir Barnes Wallis – and the sacrifice of 55,000 aircrew to deplete the NAZI war machine to such an extent it ran out of planes, tanks fuel etc as well as the air superiority over Nazi Germany from 1944 onwards.

In the face of massive opposition from “officials’ , Barnes Wallis developed Upkeep that had to be delivered at a strict speed, 60 feet above a lake; a lot of extremely brave and highly skilled aircrew died during Operation Chastise. What many people ignore is what happened AFTER Chastise. Wallis went on to develop Tallboy and Grand Slam , tail fin offset weapons that broke the speed of sound as they speared into the ground using the “camouflet” effect to devastating purpose. Very few RAF squadrons were equipped with men and machines capable of doing this. Those that were destroyed the Saumur railway tunnel, the Bielefeld and Antheor viaducts, the V weapons sites… Read more »

Who authorised the decision to press ahead with a misinformation campaign telling the public that “all age groups are at risk”, and why?

Exactly – as someone who suspected I had covid before the first lockdowns were introduced none of what the government was saying made any sense to me – it all sounded … well barmy to be honest – nothing added up. So I did my own research rather than listen to a government that was making it all sound like we were at war with a virus that was something akin to the bubonic plague – it was all end of the world stuff – so after some lengthy research I was amazed to discover that taking into account my age and health status that I was at an extremely low risk of dying from covid19 – in fact I was so low a risk that the chances of something falling on my head and killing me whilst out walking were higher than me dying from covid19 – at those odds I decided I would have been much wiser wearing a hard hat than wearing a mask when venturing outside.

So glad I didn’t have the jab… Read more »

Here’s a few questions I doubt any MP would wish to be asked:

What role has Mr William Gates III had on UK Government health policy (and other areas of policy) since January 2020? What due diligence was done on the advice Mr Gates proffered to the UK Government and what was the outcome of that due diligence? Were Civil Service Minutes taken during meetings (both F2F and Zoom) between Mr Gates and senior members of the government/hierarchy? Were any threats made to UK Government officials by Mr Gates either directly or via third parties? Given Mr Gates’ huge financial interests across a wide range of sectors impacted by the Covid19 debacle, did the UK Government consider him to be an advisor sufficiently impartial to be worthy of framing Government policy?? Given the amount spent by the UK Government on vaccines, and given Mr Gates’ investments in a variety of biopharma companies, what is the estimated net transfer of UK taxpayer funds to Mr Gates through increases in stock valuations, dividends paid by his investee companies? Does the Enquiry consider the taxpayer funding of one of the world’s richest men to be a priority higher than best practice in medical… Read more »

I have the answers already:

“It is deemed not to be in the public interest to pursue any of these questions. However the UK government is eternally grateful to Mr Gates for his timely intervention in the delivery of safe and effective vaccines, which played a decisive role in saving us all from being wiped out by this uniquely dangerous virus. When everyone’s life is at stake, we are sure you will agree that any financial cost is good value for money.”

Satisfied?

The Gates Foundation (and other “charities”) have also bestowed millions in grants to journalism organizations or foundations that support journalism. So the “watchdog” press has been bought off – either by financial donations and/or via tax payer expenditures via the purchase of advertising promoting the vaccines and lockdown policies. Also, the press never discloses that it has received all of this money to support one side of this alleged debate. The press also won’t run any stories or advertisements from groups or experts that challenge the narrative – so they are also censoring dissenting views. The notion of “fair and balanced” press coverage is a sad joke.

They certainly are censoring. I’ve been banned from commenting on the Daily Telegraph website ever since I posted links to the Planet Lockdown interviews with Dr Mike Yeadon and Dr Wolfgang Wodarg at the beginning of the year. It can only have been that because I neither abused anyone nor used foul language nor wrote anything else that could be deemed ‘unacceptable’. It seems truth-seeking is ‘far right’ and the DT is anti-free speech.

After reading, not yet completed, RFK Jnr’s epic tome, straight after Dr MK’s triptych, the most obvious conclusion is to ask how much could have been achieved by Big Pharma etc if they had researched cancer treatments or genuine CVD treatments ….instead of the mirage of “vaccines’ for pure greed and profit.

Excellent questions.

I would also add:

  1. What penalties were included in the Covid injection supply agreements that have resulted in the government continuing to push the vax even thought we know it ‘doesn’t do what it said on the tin’? What other penalties were included in the supply agreements?
  2. Who authorised the deliberate withholding of alternative medicines and how did this link to supply agreements?
  3. Who designed the early clinical trials which were to test alternative treatments? Were there any conflicts of interest? Why was more work not done once it was shown in other countries that alternative treatments were beneficial but that it was important to use these at the ‘viral stage” of covid -19 not at the ‘inflammation stage”?
  4. Why was budesonide nebuliser removed from the list of recommended treatments in the UK as other countries were adding it to theirs?

points 3 and 4 are excellent – particularly point 3

inappropriate use of ventilators in hospitals should also be looked at as many patients were put on them and subsequently died because their lungs couldn’t cope with the amount of oxygen being directed at them.

Conclusion is already written. We ‘beat’ the virus with our Mrna wonder drugs and mask wearing by our brave population.

More gongs all round and more coercion built into the law to force stab the whole population next time around.

Talking of next time around, China has another massive lockdown. Has somebody ‘accidentally’ dropped a different test tube whilst shopping for their groceries at the local wet market?

I don’t have much faith in the inquiry getting close to the truth about the covid response.

Three’s just too much at risk for the ruling parties.

What’s amazing is how we’re still getting surprisingly little information about certain things.

For example (as I had a professional interest in it) — vitamin D. At the start of this vitamin D was known to be an immuno-modulator, but any attempts to push it as a potential mitigation were countered. This didn’t make sense as it was a zero-cost option, both in terms of money (essentially free) and health (it is an essential hormone and the problem is generally deficiency not excess). But the amazing part about this is that there’s still little information about it — eg, the Coronavit trial is now about 12 months since the initial completion date, yet we don’t even have any hint of preliminary data.

I expect the inquiry will gloss over vitamin D, saying that ‘we didn’t know’, ‘erred on the side of safety’ etc etc, when from a medical science point of view it is unfathomable why it wasn’t extensively used (as part of a national scale programme) right from the start.

NHS has very poor track record on vitamin D status and testing and treating for deficiency, and even the advice they do give is so woeful – they say that no more than 400iu per day is “safe” and MSM nods along sagely and trots out the same when in order to treat long standing deficiencies you can safely take thousands of iu per day.

There are probably people up and down the UK totally wasting their money taking vitamin D supps [likely D2 not the active D3] and religiously adhering to the 400iu guidance which won’t even touch the sides of a long standing deficiency.

Most people I know are now taking 1,000 IU/day.

I keep telling them that I take 3,000 IU/day … and some people need more, although it’s wise to get a few tests after you start, because some people get a good super-high level from a dose of only 1,000 a day.

I am taking 2000 iu per day [along with vitamin K2 and magnesium and trying to get calcium from diet] but will drop down to 1000 iu when the summer months come around – I test every so often but am due one soon.

Until a year or so ago, they used to recommend only 200 a day, but it was (quietly) doubled. Other countries recommend 800. At this time of year, I now use at least 1250 IU per day – 5 µg from a traditional supermarket “everyday health” mixture, and their 25 µg vitamin D only one – marketed as “bone health”, plus whatever is in some things I eat.

I suspect that many in the medical trade just don’t know how important vitamin D levels are to maintain the functions of our immune system, and say nothing about it. They are probably taught about the history of it’s discovery, rickets and so on, and that’s it.

Available guidance about how much exposure to ultra violet B is needed to do the job automatically (i.e. in our own skin) is vague, and potentially contradictory, when they are more worried about sun burn etc, but a lot depends on individual lifestyle.

Bang on; and the most awkward question to Whitty has to be “why did you not – ever – mention ensuring people took adequate levels of vitamins and minerals KNOWN to enhance your immune system?”

For me that is the question to be asked as he “climbs the scaffold”, along with a very long line of co-conspirators.
