“Is Andrew Tate becoming the new Jordan Peterson?”
I think Andrew Tate has interesting things to say, but I see him as a downmarket Russell Brand. Peterson has the base of 20,000 hours of clinical practice and a deep understanding of the human psyche. He also has a way of thinking and expressing himself that is really compelling. It would be a mistake to see Tate as somehow his equal.
He’s also profoundly misogynistic.
You think..? He certainly has a very traditional view of male and female roles, but does that amount to misogynism. Does he hate women, does he see women as inferior, or does his life as an Ultra-Alpha Male (World Champion Kick Boxer and man of great self made wealth) just give that impression to people..?
I have trouble listening to anything Brand says after his many Brexit comments.
I find it difficult listening to Russell Brand. He is over-earnest in making his points and he is still maintaining that fence-sitting position, no doubt to maintain his subscriber base and income from Youtube. I remember when he was playing the victim of censorship and saying he was moving onto another platform yet now he’s back on Youtube. That aside to camera when he says that: “no one here is saying that the vaccines don’t have a positive impact…” lost me. We’re looking at several years worth of vaccine data showing that it doesn’t stop you getting or spreading the virus, that severely damages some people’s health and in certain cases has killed them, and that there is an endless campaign to promote them despite all the death and damage. And it isn’t a vaccine! RB has over 6 million listeners/followers and is clearly an important voice because of that. He needs to make a stand for truth not endlessly sit on that fence and pontificate.
Tim Robbins is a Hollywood actor, not a scientist or a doctor. Some people come to the truth in different ways and I don’t think we should just condemn him for not thinking it all through first. At least he’s begun to awake.
With God on our Side
It is interesting that in the links above about praying near an Abortion Clinic;
https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/12/22/thoughtcrime-is-now-a-reality-in-britain/
The law can so airily define prayer and summarily ban it. I can recall long discussions about what is prayer? where do your prayers go when you pray? how does prayer work? and of course there is no simple answer to any of these discussion points. Collins dictionary simply says prayer is the activity of speaking to God, a simple definition that in itself begs all sorts of questions.
If the law accepts the dictionary definition then it believes in God and is effectively banning God from the vicinity of an abortion clinic! If a lady decides that she does want/need an abortion but is terrified of the whole process and as she approaches the abortion clinic prays for the strength and resolve to go through with it, then she too is guilty of a crime!
This terrifying brave new world of abortion, euthanasia, gender transition, bad vaccines, stultifying and economically crippling climate change policies remind me of the sort of nightmares I had some years ago after drinking some cheap nasty rum! However, several cups of strong tea got me over that episode, I am not sure what is going to pull us back from the nightmare world we seem hell bent on creating for ourselves?

Tim Robbins, I’m sorry, is a jerk.
He clearly explains how his objections to all the totalitarian measures arose only when he noticed they didn’t work. This leaves us to assume that if masks, vaccines and social distancing had been effective he would have continued to support the coercive measures.
What riles me up is that having acted like a complete moron he now wants to present himself as a champion of freedom.
These people who want to rush to get in the right side of history need to learn to apologise and be a little more humble, not just put on a humble act.

I read this an hour or so ago. An interesting perspective on those who appear to have ‘seen the light’ and now batting for the ‘other side’.
Is their change of heart – and minds – being used as a free ‘get out of jail card’?
Do we accept they made a genuine mistake and move on? Should they have known better?
It is impossible that they couldn’t have known both that the virus posed little threat to the vast majority and that there had been nowhere near long enough for the effects of injecting people with an experimental technology to be known.
I agree.
I think that very much depends on what colour their heart is. Most people just made a genuine mistake after being lied to and coerced by Gov and MSM on an unimaginable scale. What the last few years have done – lockdowns, censorship, ‘vaccines’ etc – is created a window into the soul. People are now visible. I had a chap very recently, after discovering that I was not vaccinated, tell me that if I ended up in hospital and died it would be my own fault. After trying to explain to him the problems with his understanding of the ‘vaccine’, I then went on to tell him that if he ended up in hospital and died because of being a big fat bastard it would certainly be his own fault. Vengeance is a powerful emotion. I suppose I’ve found out a bit about myself as well.
Oh my God. I did wonder about that baby.
Those poor parents.
The hangings start with their PM, then the judge(s) responsible for their illegal judgement and then the doctors who operated. Thereafter a more leisurely stroll can be taken in rounding up the rest.
God rest baby Alex.
For me, everyone is allowed a mistake. Not everyone saw what we sceptics saw. Not all the sceptics saw it at the same time. The pertinent question is really ‘Now you’ve realised what was really going on, what are you going to do about it.?’.
This BBC News article today about a drug trial seems very odd, with possibly a lot of spin put on it to give a particular impression:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64070392
The headline and first sentence appear quite optimistic:
“Molnupiravir Covid antiviral treatment hastens recovery – trial”
“An antiviral drug tested by more than 25,000 vaccinated Covid patients has been found to reduce recovery time from the disease.”
So far, so good. But then the article states:
“Despite aiding recovery, the drug did not decrease death rates or hospital admissions.”
But previous trials had shown the drug was effective in decreasing hospital admissions:
“The trial was conducted to see whether it backed up previous studies on molnupiravir, which had suggested it was effective at reducing hospital admissions among patients with mild-to-moderate Covid.
However, those trials were conducted on unvaccinated patients, before the emergence of the Omicron wave.”
And the failure of this trial to show any effectiveness in decreasing hospital admissions is explained by claiming that that’s because the Covid vaccines are so effective in decreasing hospital admissions, as all the 25,000 Covid patients in the trial were vaccinated:
‘Former deputy chief medical officer for England, Prof Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, who is pro-vice-chancellor for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of Nottingham and study co-author, said: “While molnupiravir was originally found to work well to reduce hospitalisation in patients with Covid, these were unvaccinated patients.
“This latest research has repeated the exercise in the highly vaccinated population, demonstrating that the vaccine protection is so strong that there is no obvious benefit from the drug in terms of further reducing hospitalisation and deaths.’
That’s possibly true but it sounds highly suspect and appears to make a lot of dubious assumptions – which is what passes for ‘science’ these days.
The obvious and more enlightening thing for the researchers to have done would have been to have had a control group of unvaccinated Covid patients, and compare the two groups – but that may have resulted in findings the funders don’t want to know.
The so called ‘science’ ignoring the elephant in the room – why would jabbed individuals need the Molnupiravir to aid recovery from the ‘disease’ if the so called ‘vaccines’ are so effective?
“Molnupiravir Covid antiviral treatment hastens recovery – trial”
The BBC publish a statement such as this. I would run a friggin mile.
The BBC?
Even more curious, the link title is ‘COVID antiviral may not be as effective as first thought’ and ‘But Molnupirivar showed no obvious benefit at reducing hospital cases and deaths, a study found.’
I think they may have changed it.
Do you consider the commentators on here (including me) to be a ‘killing force’?
Apparently we are according to the WHO @Peter Hotez
World Health Organization (WHO)

You can get the picture from the piece below but worth a read in full as they say…..very worrying…
https://jackanapes.substack.com/p/data-on-neonatal-deaths-from-major
Josh Guetzkow
A fearless, selfless Israeli researcher named David Shuldman has worked tirelessly to get data released from the clutches of government agencies. He recently obtained data via FOIA request on neonatal deaths from the Israeli health insurance fund Maccabi, which covers about 25% of Israelis.
Neonatal deaths are defined as deaths in the first four weeks of life, from the moment after birth until 28 days later. Recently, he obtained data on the quarterly number of neonatal deaths beginning Q1 2019.
The quarterly number of neonatal deaths is very low, hovering between 4-8 for 2019 and 2020. Then in the second quarter of 2021, it suddenly jumps three-fold to 17, dips again in quarter 3 and then jumps again to 18 in the last quarter of the year.
Since the total number of births changes little from month to month, these spikes are about triple the usual rate of neonatal deaths. (I confirmed this using data from a separate FOIA he filed with monthly data on live births from April 2019.)
In February, 2021, the Israeli Ministry of Health started to officially recommend COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters, so the timing of the second quarter spike would coincide with women being jabbed later in their pregnancy 2-4 months prior.
The 4th quarter spike coincides with the booster vaccination campaign in Israel in August and especially September — a drive that aggressively targeted pregnant women. Unfortunately the health insurer claimed not to have information on the vaccination status of pregnant women, so we are not able to differentiate by vaccination status.
Since we don’t have birth data for Q1 2019, I will compare 2020 to 2021. In 2021 there were 47 neonatal deaths out of 45,449 live births. In 2020 there were 24 neonatal deaths out of 42,962 live births. We’d expect such a large difference less than 1.2 times out of a hundred. In other words, this is a once in a hundred year anomaly. If this was due to COVID, we would have expected to see some increase in 2020 over 2019 — but the number of neonatal deaths and overall live births remained nearly constant.

If RW is around, isn’t Bild MSM?
Bild is the equivalent of the Sun and DM combined in Germany.
Kubicki is a bit of a maverick, but of no importance. BT VP is a useless and powerless ceremonial job with 1 allocated to each party.
He also voted FOR the gene therapy mandate for health care workers after initially having made some critical noise about it, so one could legitimately ca him controlled opposition.
He is the epitome of a slimy, unscrupulous but admittedly sometimes quite funny lawyer.
One that specialises in the most despicable and useless but very profitable form of the law that only exists in Germany in that form: Abmahnungen, esp. for SMEs.
Ah well, thank you. It was just a such a surprise to view a MSM round table discussion where every participant, including the interviewer, were to some extent anti-lockdown and sceptical about the injections.
