Great grist Johnathan. I particularly appreciate this: “I want to cut against the grain a bit,” says Eugyppius. “And suggest that that Telegraph article blaming excess U.K. mortality on lockdowns is more than just an attempt to exonerate the vaccines”
This, to me, is the most important subject we need to fight against.
It is NOT just lockdowns that are killing us. Yes sure they are killing us slowly, but the jabs are an accelerant that is pretty obviously poison.
Anyway a great round up.
in the mean time, Stop The Shot: https://jamesroguski.substack.com/p/stoptheshots
Yes. In the same way that people got tangled up with the mask debate, arguing (rightly) that they didn’t protect anyone from COVID, whilst getting distracted from the main point that COVID was nothing remarkable and that we didn’t need any protection from it anyway!
This just out from Dr Pierre Kory on Pfizer’s own study of pregnant women injected. It’s horrific.

It’s the people who managed to somehow live through the “deadly” virus in 2020 and who couldn’t wait to get their life-saving miracle shots ASAP in 2021. But how did they survive the deadliest strains in 2020? Oh, I forgot…lockdowns saved them!
But keep feeding that cognitive dissonance with your lies and epic stupidity. Whatever salves your conscience so you can justify buying into the hysteria and vilify anyone who didn’t. We see perfectly how moronic you were/are! 
The Mirror article about the new strain that allegedly reinfects people just a month later, is simply BA.5. And they conveniently make no mention of how the jabs trick the immune system into standing down faster than NORAD on 9/11. Thus, the reinfections could easily be due to the jabs rather than any inherent property of the virus strain itself.
The Neil Oliver piece is great; “Truth is Leaking Out” –” but it seems to me that too few people have” crossed the Rubicon” and now recognise the reality of what has and is going on. Too many people are still terrified of this killer virus, too many are still convinced that the vaccines have saved the world from the mass extinction of the human race which would have occurred without them.
In the USA there are politicians speaking up such as, Ron Desantis and Harriet Hageman and they seem to have a fair number of people supporting them. But no Politician in the UK would dare come out with their sort of rhetoric, they would get very little public support.
Why is that? why is the UK still so ready to believe and follow our politicians and official tyrants despite all the evidence that they have sold us down the river and messed up big time? Will anything ever wake up the UK population and stir it into action? Will we ever get a politician like Ron Desantis or Harriet Hageman in the UK?
Maybe we’re just doing it in a quieter way, the politicians think if they don’t mention their extremism and gullibility, it will be forgotten. Locally, all covid propaganda stickers have gone, even my GP surgery have removed the massive banner over the front telling us Get Your Covid ‘Jab’ here and the phone recording directs those seeking a jab to a different number because they are no longer doing them
I’m looking forward to my trip back home to the UK next week. As I’ve not visited since Jan 2020 it’ll be interesting to see any changes. I’m gonna have to mentally prepare for the journey though as its invariably when travelling, especially flying, that you will encounter the most masked muppets, more than at your actual destination.
Yoga breaths Mogs, yoga breaths…
Actually I’ll bet if any politician had the balls they’d get more support than you might think. Trouble is finding any with the amount of courage, integrity and sense of social justice that Desantis has. Florida is like a different country when you look at other tyrannical states. Can’t imagine any British politicians coming anywhere close to him. It’d be career suicide for the corrupt scumbags.
Well good luck with whatever muppet you end up with. Wasn’t it also Neil Oliver who said its the same train journey, its just the driver that’s changed? If you end up with any restrictions brought back this winter then you’ll know he’s justified in his distrust and pessimism. And I think there’s many like him. Just gotta hope there’s a tipping point and they end up being the majority for the first time.
“too many are still convinced that the vaccines have saved the world from the mass extinction of the human race…”
and have yet to understand that actually it is the “vaccines” which are intended to bring about the extinction of the human race.

It’s becoming apparent that the world is waking up to the utter madness of lockdowns. Lets hope this continues. Because lets face it, there’s a cabal of ‘them up there’ who want US lockdown forever while THEY enjoy the world. I never thought I’d experience evil like this in my lifetime….but here we are.

“Forget Covid and monkeypox – new ‘tomato flu’ can ‘change colour of your limbs’” –
More than 82 children aged five and under have contracted tomato flu.
Can I guess.? Is it 83?
Because I refuse to click on a rag like the Star I found the Lancet instead. Its the lesser of two evils given their particular history I guess. Tomato flu is apparently endemic in India and not life-threatening, which will be why I’ve never ever heard of it. And I suppose if you don’t believe in viruses then you’d explain it away as being caused by the poor conditions and malnutrition which is rife over there. Perhaps its less common in richer countries because of that reason…

Facial Dermatoses Induced by Face Masks: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
The use of masks for infection control was common in the COVID-19 pandemic. As numerous cross-sectional studies have suggested a link between the use of such masks and various facial dermatoses, a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies was conducted to evaluate this association, as well as potential risk factors for the development of such facial dermatoses.
Overall prevalence of facial dermatoses was 55%. Individually, acne, facial dermatitis, itch and pressure injuries were consistently reported as facial dermatoses, with a pooled prevalence of 31%, 24%, 30% and 31% respectively. Duration of mask-wear was the most significant risk factor for the development of facial dermatoses.
…link to the story of the four year old being made to mask ATL..and this tweet..
“Philly has announced that 3-5 year olds will be masked for the upcoming year.
Kids in NY public schools who aren’t vaccinated can’t play sports.
Rutgers announced they are keeping masks in all classrooms.
Kids are still being forced to carry an undue burden.
This isn’t over.
….
I had no idea so many adults hated kids, so much so that they are normalizing their abuse!
Morning Moggy, It feels like the end of the world, when adults..and their own parents…can go along with nonsense…I’m bewildered….
Here’s Matt Walsh talking about the NBC report saying that Monkeybollox is in fact an STD of gay men. They’re basically just confirming what anybody with a brain knew since the beginning.

Here’s the original NBC report. Do you think Tedros is feeling like a bit of a tit now and will retract his alarmist global emergency hysterical declaration? Nope, the WHO will do what they’ve always done regarding actual scientific evidence which contradicts their agenda; deny deny deny!

Absolutely correct. But be on the lookout for Banana Flu, Donkeypox and Man-Flu-22!
“World Economic Forum suggests there are ‘rational’ reasons to microchip your child” I picked up one headline at random but I really wanted to respond to all of them. This one though is typical of the arid pronouncements that emanate from SMERSH, I mean WEF. They have a rather horrific world view of the future that involves living in smart cities, blocking the sun, eating synthetic products and insects, subsisting on handouts dependent on social credits, having no personal transport or any items at all, probably dressed in some type of onesie pyjamas and probably completely sexless and microchipped up to the mechanical eyeballs (glasses will be a thing of the past with these new Zeiss irises). And yet… And yet they are taken seriously because they’ve been planning this thing since whenever…1970s I think when Klausie boy, still smarting from the collapse of Nazism and the Third Reich, began to pour all his cruelty, his malice and will to dominate all life into the one ring…sorry wrong comparison…I mean the European Management Forum or more commonly know as the WEF and here we are today. He’s been able during all that time to foster relationships with like-minded sociopaths and psychopaths who share his view that most of the 7 billion plus people on the planet are just useless eaters, mindlessly gobbling up all the resources and polluting this once pristine earth. Meeting Yuval Noah Harari was a match made in hell. Harari is like a hosepipe with too much water pressure in it and nothing to restrain it, jerking and writhing like a snake and drenching everything in its wake. In his case, his crazy ideas of god being over, hackable humans and much, much more….I dread to think what his next vision will be…all of these are released scattergun-like on large crowds of nodding people without anyone standing up and calling it out. So now they come with this perfectly rational explanation for implanting a microchip in your child so he/she can be tracked. Schwab knows that none of us are likely to do this so it’s our children he coming after. Schwab wants to create a utopian society for him and the elite. They will need servants, slaves, but the rest of us must be slowly eradicated. Our children and theirs will be slaves if he and all the others are allowed to continue. I don’t exactly know how we get rid of them but it requires a massive awakening and then a lot of arrests. If that was ever to happen, we have to be extremely vigilant and careful because every nutjob that ever craved a bit of power will attempt to fill the vaccuum.
We just use a watch with inbuilt GPS.
I cannot find fault with one word. Bang on the money Aethelred.
Thanks HP!
Of course they want to chip the children, far easier to control to whom they’ve been sent…
Child sex trafficking is rife as we know. It could be stamped out, it could be cleared up & the perpetrators brought to justice but why would the perpetrators stop their own fun???

The World Economic Forum this month published an article calling for an online censorship system powered by a combination of artificial and human intelligence that one critic suggested would “globalize” the “search for wrongthink.”
…remind me again when I asked for advice from, or voted for these people?
Yes, all in line with everything else they do and they know that these things will be more or less ignored by the snoozing masses, so they just say it anyway.
Two of the worst ‘humanitarian disaster’s’ in the world, are Syria and Yemen…
It has been reported widely that the USA, which is currently ‘occupying’ a third of Syrian territory, is stealing Syrian fuel and food…
https://www.gulf-insider.com/syria-accused-us-of-stealing-over-80-of-its-daily-oil-output/
Over 20 million people in Yemen need humanitarian aid…over 150.000 are facing famine, including around 2.5 million children..it is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis…
Besides the millions of pounds worth of arms the UK and USA sell to Saudi to help keep this disaster going, doesn’t it just warm your cockles to now be told that the French are ‘preparing to secure Yemeni gas facility’ for exports: France could be gearing up to help protect a gas facility in Yemen to allow for exports in a bid to cut Europe’s reliance on Russia according to an ex-Yemeni foreign minister.”
https://english.alaraby.co.uk/news/france-preparing-secure-yemeni-gas-facility-exports
Do you think the Yemeni people will see a penny? Did the poor benighted people in Syria or Yemen cause Europe’s reliance on Russia?
Grossly immoral doesn’t even cover it…remind me again who the supposed ‘good guys’ are?
So many starving. Geldof is very quiet
“The fake news media outlet (The Times) also praised Bourla for receiving the $1 million Genesis Prize at a ceremony in Jerusalem, which Bourla says he plans to donate “towards a planned Holocaust Museum in Thessaloniki, Greece, where he was born.”
Presumably this museum will be commemorating the Holocaust he is currently conducting across the planet.
