“Putin has pulled off a shock win that could destroy the free world”
Wait a minute. Didn’t we apply sanctions to Russia after luring them into the Ukraine invasion, which Putin probably thought was do-able because of the cack handed mess in leaving Afghanistan.
I’m not convinced that this is anything but an engineered situation to further the WEF ideology of self destruction.
After the last two and a half years it is absurd to refer to the West as the “free world”.
This was the one article posted today I was going to comment on but you nailed it first.
I wonder, as I don’t have a subscription to this rag anymore since the lockdowns, what are the comment sections saying?
Usually the below the line DT comments know what’s what vs the journalist.
Actually the many comments are very critical of lockdowns and green agenda. I read the DT because of the comments.
Yes thats what i said.
I don’t have a subscription but Mr Gum does…..I tend to comment so as I have told him, he will be going to the Gulag..but it will be my comments that got him there!!!
I have noticed a bit of a sea-change in the Ukraine/Russia comments actually. There are still the Russia bad, Ukraine good usual comments, and you are still a Russian Troll if you question the narrative..LOL… but there are many more now starting to ask questions..I think that as people can see their own lives are going to be harder, because of fuel and food poverty, they are questioning why so much money is being given, why we are sending weapons, and why no one is trying to talk peace….
Pretty much universally the comments don’t blame Putin, but our own idiotic net zero agenda…..eco-loonies and lack of investment.
Thanks Mrs Gum. Good to get an idea where those readers are and where they are going.

Latest 15min vid from Dr Vinay Prasad where he makes many excellent points on why he’s not a supporter of the new bivalent booster, inc the influence of politics and vested interests in approving these jabs and also how mandating them would be absolute lunacy based on total lack of clinical data or need. How many perfectly healthy college students will be mandated to get this latest unnecessary clot shot just so they can get an education?

..am I right in repeating what I’ve read..the data is based on the trials in SEVEN MICE?
Think it was 8 mice, but who’s counting when its such a piddly number?
Latest John Campbell vid looking at an interesting study published in the NEJM which focused on the level of protection against BA.5 if you’ve been infected with previous variants, based on 9.3m Portuguese residents. This study is further evidence of the complete pointlessness of even having further Covid jabs. In my opinion the damn things should stop being manufactured and therefore cease to exist but we’ve probably got as much chance of that happening as masks no longer being on sale in the shops.

Another interesting episode from JC! Without delving into the detail, at the moment there have been 182,495 views, and 2,449 comments. A quick scan of the latter suggest that they’re all sceptical about the product on offer, which is quite encouraging.
John C has definitely gone up in my estimation. I saw on one of his recent videos that he was on a ‘Warning’ level with YT, probably off the back of his vid on excess deaths if I were to guess, despite the fact he deliberately is at great pains to deliver only the data and stay away from any personal opinion on the matter. Just the fact you can sail so close to the wind by being so data-centric with these Big Tech platforms rather says it all with regards to the censorship that’s an ongoing issue.
I always scan the comments in these sorts of videos too and I never ever find any from trolls, bots or anyone challenging the material being discussed, so I agree, very encouraging indeed. He makes me smile because you can tell he always wants to say more but he holds back because he doesn’t want to get into trouble. He’d be interesting to talk to off camera I think.
“In Conservative Home, Henry Hill questions the wisdom of ruling out future lockdowns or any other policy response which “could be efficacious against a future plague which spreads by different means””
It’s possible one could come up with a disease of sufficient virulence that some kind of quarantine approach could be ethically justified and practically useful – maybe Ebola? But a fake national level “lockdown” wouldn’t make much difference – someone has to keep the lights on. The Chinese, who popularised the approach, never had a national lockdown. They locked down I think some or most of Hubei province which is about 4% of their population, and people from outside came in and distributed food etc.
Going back to an Ebola-type situation, I doubt you’d need coercion to make people extremely cautious.
As it seems very easy to concoct fake emergencies, I think lockdowns should be off the table completely.
“Henry Hill questions the wisdom of ruling out future lockdowns or any other policy response… ”
Of course what is so ridiculous here is the starting point that the lockdowns just exercised where even required. Lockdowns carried ‘wisdom’ did they? Lockdowns have been utterly devastating and are completely evil, they have no place in 21st century life.
Lockdowns would be inappropriate against pretty much all diseases so even to consider their employ shows a rather blinkered intelligence and that is being kind.
The only plague we have lived through is a plague of evil.

Why didn’t more people resist lockdown? Well, a great many people I know thought it was all completely daft, and, like me, continued to try and live life as much as normal. I visited friends, went shopping, walked my dogs, etc, as much as I fancied, but it’s difficult to be a rebel when half of society has closed down, hence our pub/theatre/gig visits were impossible, as were our regular foreign holidays. I would have loved to resist more, but we were hamstrung by the government. I enjoyed complaining long and loud if I was stuck in a (stupidly distanced) queue or similar covid scenario, but people were too scared to agree or disagree, or else they thought I was a mad woman perhaps, so politely ignored me. I still decry covid nonsense, but now I find people often agree with me, so things are changing.
I agree totally. And it is hard to demonstrate resistance, even though you are resisting and totally opposed to the restrictions, when most of society is closed. We had the pointless curfews here in the NL also, just to rub our noses in it further apparently, because they accomplished bugger all of course. That’s why I’d go on the larger organized demos in Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Perhaps they had no real impact on the government’s authoritarian policies but at least it was a way of showing up and being part of the collective who opposed the draconian measures inflicted upon society.
The question is, how many ( because I’m absolutely certain places such as Germany, France, Austria etc ) countries will dare to impose lockdowns once more this winter, but also how many citizens will tolerate this ongoing mistreatment indefinitely? My suspicion is that they’ll modify the lockdowns, for instance, by keeping some schools open, as a way of attempting to appease the public and ‘soften the blow’, as it were, in order to meet with less resistance, but I can see this backfiring spectacularly. I’m just wondering how many countries will dare to drag out this tedious, anti-scientific BS approach further, when all they’re really demonstrating is their complete contempt for the citizens of those countries. In the face of all the evidence it is now irrefutable that for a government to go down that road yet again it is just out and out abuse, and they’re clearly getting off on it!
And don’t start me off on the bloody masks that are inevitably going to be mandated once more either…
I agree..I never stopped dog walking, and luckily had a friend who felt the same..we never masked and would hug on greeting and leaving and pretty much were daring anyone to call us out…! LOL!
Family was a tad more difficult..some came around quickly, others not….I do know had I lived nearer to both my sister and best friend they would have resisted more quickly…but they were surrounded unfortunately, so we could only talk on the phone for a while…but neither of them will succumb again!
This is a true story, this morning I was in Sainsbury’s and saw someone in a mask for the first time for ages…looked up and the aisle board said CRACKERS, bread and biscuits!!
I’m sure it was a sign!!! LOL!
I did notice many more masked muppets in the UK than over here tbh. People broadcasting their allegiance to their chosen cult by advertising the fact they’ve donated their brain to the cause really instills such faith in my fellow humans…Pff!

This article is highly challenging & genuinely upsetting for those who have succumbed to the bioweapon injection. It contains some useful information to use to support any of your friends or family who are ready to face the subject.
I would caution to only share it with those who are open so as to not force those who are not ready to see the evidence into a fear induced state in which they are unable to function. We have to be better than that. Love, care, kindness & compassion is the only route to winning this WWIII so conceding some battles is part of the overall strategy.
