  • “Is Covid about to bounce back? England’s outbreak flattens off after dipping to lowest level in a year” – The Mail reports that the ONS infection survey shows an epidemic flattening off but which may be about to rebound as autumn sets in.
  • “COVID-19 and the unseen pandemic of child abuse” – An editorial in the BMJ by Wesley J. Park and Kristen A. Walsh describing their major new study on the impact of lockdowns on children: “For children, the collateral damage of the COVID-19 pandemic response has been considerable: ‘nearly insurmountable’ educational losses, deteriorating mental health, low routine childhood vaccination rates, 39 billion missed school meals by January 2021 and millions of estimated life-years lost among students in the USA alone.”
  • “British Medical Journal faces backlash from leading scientists” – The Mail reports that the BMJ has faced criticism over a potential over-reliance on members of Independent SAGE, a “Left-wing” group of experts who have lobbied for lockdowns and mask mandates.
  • “The head of the CDC’s outside committee on vaccine safety does not want to see the safety data collected by the Israeli Ministry of Health” – Steve Kirsch says he finally got a response to his question to ACIP Chair Grace Lee about whether she wants to see the Covid vaccine safety data from Israel – she called the cops on him. He has also learned the Israeli Ministry of Health were told the vaccines were unsafe in March 2022, but said it was simply a manpower and budget issue that they weren’t able to inform the public.
  • “Another Ill Effect of Covid injections – Transplant Rejection” – The Exposé reports on a Japanese study looking at the phenomenon of acute corneal graft rejection after Covid vaccination.
  • “Jonathan Engler on Anomalies in the Excess Death Statistics from Northern Italy in Spring 2020” – Eugyppius looks at Dr. Jonathan Engler’s analysis of the first wave and what it might tell us about the virus.
  • “Narendra Modi’s admonishment for Vladimir Putin: ‘I told you this was not an era for war’” – “I have spoken to you on the phone about this,” says the Indian leader as he scolds the Russian president over his invasion of Ukraine, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Renewables will not solve the energy crisis” – Wind and solar are far too unreliable to meet Britain’s energy needs, says James Woudhuysen in the Telegraph.
  • “Making Batteries for All These EVs Will Require Over 300 New Mines” – Satisfying global demand for lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite will take hundreds of new mines by 2035, writes José Rodríguez Jr. in Jalopnik.
  • “Zac Goldsmith shouldn’t have been demoted. He should have been sacked outright” – Ross Clark in the Telegraph says rewilding represents the Tory party at its worst – when it is being “a self-help group for the wealthy at the expense of everyone else”.
  • “The inconvenient truth about France’s forest fires” – Politicians are desperate to blame climate change but the fact is most were man-made.
  • “Are they taking us for a ride?” – Andy Lambeth on the New Subnormal wonders if the energy crisis is really all Putin’s fault.
  • “The moment that showed the madness of gender ideology” – Debbie Hayton in the Spectator says that Michael Gibbon KC, counsel for the charity Mermaids, told the court that “lesbians can include someone who is a woman as a result of gender reassignment”.
  • “Children as young as nine can be prescribed sex change hormones” – Minimum ages for puberty blockers and surgical interventions for young people who think they are transgender have been removed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), the Telegraph reports.
  • “Christian group blocked from holding conference at Cambridge college” – Christian Concern accuses Fitzwilliam College of rejecting its booking on the grounds that it does not believe in gay marriage, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Martha’s Vineyard and the fraud of the rich white liberal” – Paul Du Quenoy in Spectator World says the pro-illegal immigration elite are suddenly finding all kinds of spurious reasons to object to the transporting of such newcomers to Martha’s Vineyard, despite the community previously announcing itself to be a “sanctuary destination”.

The latest from Dr Vinay Prasad explaining 11 differences between the flu vaccine and the Covid shot. This is based on the very lame excuse given that if the flu shot does not require further clinical trials annually then any updated Covid injections should not require subsequent human trials either, but this product is being rushed to market regardless of lack of data.

You got there first! It’s worth about 15 minutes to watch – a strong US political theme. It also criticises the method used for annual ‘flu shots as well (including some of it’s commentators).

🙂 Yes I took advantage of my 1 hour head-start! No, I’m actually more lark than night owl and 8am is a lie-in for me.

Prasad does make the important, and I’d have thought obvious point, that they’re expecting people to be so gullible ( or stupid ) that they’ll run out to get a booster that they don’t need because BA.4 and BA.5 have been circulating for ages. Nobody could possibly have failed to be exposed to it by now. I think the people who are thick enough to not see this obvious fact ( and consequently acknowledge that they’re being lied to ) are the sort who believe they don’t possess an immune system. I just can’t imagine going through life being so dim-witted and reliant on ‘expert’ charlatans who proclaim to know more about your own body than you do. I’ve no time for these imbeciles at all.

Someone I know currently “has covid” along with her ageing parents. They are all fine except her parents are panicking because of the brainwashing. All triple “vaxxed”, living in a country that still mandates masks and vaxxed/negative test only for entry. Still she won’t join the dots.

And those who like graphical presentations (like me, given my engineering background), might observe Prasad’s statement in there that, actually, C19 is not as bad as ‘flu, when it occurs, but it is being manipulated the other way round by the charlatans.

Good Morning fellow travellers…
I’ve only had a quick peruse and haven’t read all of this, it’s very long..I’m going to read it later with a cuppa….
It should be very interesting…and I suppose when we talk about ‘them’ .. this is who we mean!?

How Bill Gates and partners used their clout to control the global Covid response — with little oversight
Four health organizations, working closely together, spent almost $10 billion on responding to Covid across the world. But they lacked the scrutiny of governments, and fell short of their own goals, a POLITICO and WELT investigation found.

The Dutch government wants to bring back ‘the digital covid pass’ for bars, restaurants and the entertainment industry. This time they’re using the lie that “these sectors asked for it themselves as a last resort to prevent being locked down again”.

They just won’t give up will they?

Gaslighting is often accompanied by the phrase ‘you asked for it’. The Dutch (royals?) are deep in this mire.

And it is an obvious lie. No bar that I’m aware of would be pro-ostracization and discrimination of a large chunk of its clientele. It’s a well known fact that Rutte and his government are thick as thieves with the WEF, so who to believe….the corrupt government who are currently persecuting all of our farmers and screwing over the population regarding this “energy crisis” etc, or the average bar/restaurant owner who just wants to make a living and has no skin in the globalist, political agenda-pushing game…? It’s a toughie alright!

I know most will be aware of these letters of correspondence between the WEF and Dutch government by now but here’s Ivor highlighting it anyway. Proof positive, if you ask me, that we’ll be expecting restrictions in one form or other before the year’s out and that Rutte and cronies are all bent as nine bob notes.

I do enjoy Dr David Bell’s writing and here’s his latest excellent piece, talking about the absurdities of the global public health ‘experts’.

“Beyond individuals, we now have entire institutions mocking reality. They can state obvious stupidity with impunity as a once critical media now sees its role as backing them unquestioningly, disseminating their pronouncements and suppressing any information to the contrary for a perceived public good.”

“Is Covid about to bounce back? ”

Well, in so much as colds and flu tend to be a winter thing, possibly, but who cares.? Its not March 2020. I think we all understand the risks of catching a mild upper respiratory infection, apart from those who consider it likely to be instant death for them or a random stranger they might pass it on to, the deranged ‘maskers’. That said I do have otherwise sane friends who are still testing themselves when they get a cough. Weirdo’s..

The sentencing of Alex Belfield to 5 and a half years at his majesty’s pleasure for cyber stalking seems incredibly punitive and therefore directly impacts the current free speech climate. I hope the DS will pick the bones out of this one. I am highly distrustful of the MSM reports on this case having heard much of the testimony.

The owner of the Telegram channel Lawyers of Light posted a series of links yesterday regarding sentencing for various crimes. Rape, assault, child molesting, nasty child imagery on computers – the nastier seedy end of crimes – not one of the half dozen or so cases which were posted resulted in a custodial sentence…. Many of these crimes were perpetrated by serving police officers or teachers.
Never forget that Vine is of the Establishment & no prosecution has been brought against him for his demonisation of the “unvaxxed” & the inciting of physical harm against them.

Just like the Covid scam, if something cannot stand on its own merit, you just know that it’s a lie, or it should at least make you very wary….. They wouldn’t need so much propaganda otherwise.
Just remember when they are talking about Russia or China promoting ‘mis-information’….that Bill Gates gave a staggering $12 million to the Guardian last year, and also $3.5 million to the Barclay brothers’ Telegraph just in case…the idea that the MSM works on the side of independence or truth is frankly laughable…

This is an interesting read about childhood vaccines looking at the positive & negative effects on the immune system.
