News Round-Up

by Will Jones
6 April 2023 1:35 AM

  • “Now even Chinese scientists claim Covid did not jump to humans inside infamous Wuhan market in blow to natural animal origin theory” – The Mail reports on the latest Chinese CDC paper finding no evidence that the virus started in the wet market – though the Mail somehow missed the fact that China disavowed this theory back in spring 2020.
  • “Anatomy of the sinister Covid Project, Part 6” – Paula Jardine in TCW completes her series on the origins of the virus and countermeasures by looking at the central role of Robert Kadlec and Michael Callahan in U.S. biosecurity and the early response to the virus.
  • “Monkeypox and leaky vaccines” – Dr. Robert Malone says ‘Mpox’ is a case study in WHO and U.S. Government incompetence.
  • “Progress is being made in some areas thanks to the pandemic” – Despite their strong criticism of high-Ct PCR testing during the pandemic, Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson explain that low-Ct PCR testing does give a sound indication of infectious virus prevalence: “PCR, far from being a shot in the dark, can accurately predict (if properly done) who matters in an epidemic and who does not, seen with a public health scope.”
  • “‘Long Covid’: The Truth at Long Last” – The Swiss Doctor makes some helpful points about the new Long Covid study, but brace yourself for the grating tone. Also, it’s worth noting that the study in question, in a sensitivity analysis that removed less certain cases, did find post-infective fatigue syndrome (PIFS) to be just 6.2% higher in those who’d had Covid than those who hadn’t, a difference that was not statistically significant, so it wasn’t just an issue with the definition of Long Covid.
  • “Globetrotting green elites are a threat to democracy” – A new superclass of eco-globalists is making life miserable for the rest of us, says Brendan O’Neill in Spiked, with the departing New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern foremost in his mind.
  • “Jacob Siegel: The great disinformation’ hoax” – Watch Jacob Siegel speak to UnHerd‘s Freddie Sayers about the ‘disinformation complex’ that has blossomed in recent years, from state actors all the way down to fact-checkers.
  • “Meat and dairy remains on the menu at Edinburgh University after failed vegan vote” – A vote on banning meat and dairy from catering at Edinburgh University failed to get enough votes at the Students’ Association meeting, the Scottish Farmer reports.
  • “Record electric car sales fuel fears over charging point crunch” – Experts warn that charger installation is failing to keep pace with the electric car boom, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell arrested in amid SNP finance probe” – The Daily Record reports that the 58-year-old remains in custody after being arrested as a suspect in connection with the ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party.
  • “The Guardian has wrecked itself ” – Julie Burchill feels no sympathy for her former employer in the Spectator.
  • “The media still won’t speak the truth about grooming gangs” – Much of the British media are still in denial that British Pakistanis are over-represented in this kind of child abuse, writes Charlie Peters in UnHerd.
  • “Coercive and abhorrent” – Patricia Morgan in the Critic with an in-depth look at the contested topic of ‘conversion therapy’.
  • “Beware the smart phone emergency alerts” – Kathy Gyngell in TCW highlights a sinister new ‘service’ coming to a smartphone near you later this month.
  • “That’s my boy! Tom Daley shows off ‘perfect’ newborn after he and husband Dustin Lance Black welcomed second child via surrogate – and reveals his very unusual name” – The Mail reports that Tom Daley has shared a first look at his new baby boy – obtained via the ethically dubious baby trade – Phoenix Rose. Yes, a boy called Rose. Who I’m sure will at no point miss having his own mum.
  • “Labour should hang their heads in shame over the grooming scandals” – ‘Cultural sensitivity’ always means sensitivity to one culture alone, “and it sure as hell isn’t the culture of white working-class girls”, says Allison Pearson in the Telegraph.
  • “Canadian politician Kristyn Wong-Tam, who uses the pseudo-pronouns ‘they/them’, proposes legislation to criminalise ‘offensive remarks’ within 100 metres of a Drag Queen Story Hour” – They want to eliminate free speech and turn normal people into criminals, says Christopher Rufo.

Canadian politician Kristyn Wong-Tam, who uses the pseudo-pronouns "they/them," proposes legislation to criminalize "offensive remarks" within 100 meters of a Drag Queen Story Hour.

‘Nine different kits tested recently in the US on the same set of gold standards gave Cts that were all within 2-3 cycles of each other. Since 25 looks like the average Ct value for infectiousness, this makes 27 the upper bound. All else is likely to be a “false positive” in the sense that the body is getting rid of fragments which are of no interest to our immune system as they cannot infect cells and replicate.’

And there you have it…….right there…….all the ‘pandemic’ there ever really was…….

Oh for something beginning with f’s sake…….

The Swiss doctor has become quite trapped and as such rather annoying.
None of what he states here actually provides a basis for his conclusions or his many attacks.

What Heneghan and Jefferson argue for, PCR standardization, was clear by June 2020 and argued for by many then, including me here.
The fact that they not only never bothered to do so but abused the lack of it further and most egregiously by introducing different cts for gene therapied and not gene therapied people is a further, early and very strong indication that something else was going on and clear proof that they already had no good intentions by then.
Because, in contrast here to the lockdown, masks, treatments and vaccine indicators, this is so self-evident, logical, indisputable and simple to do, this deliberate omission is also probably the clearest conspiracy signal and confirmation, and the clearest debunking of the ‘just many cockups in a row’ theory.

Even if a test has 100% reliability, it is still not good practice to do mass-testing, except at the outset of an epidemic when there is some chance of containing it. But reliability is never, in practice, that high.

The Casedemic was just one, important, aspect of the testing problem. But ignorance of proper criteria for screening programmes was as important (as a BMJ letter co-authored by Sir Muir Gray, founder of the UK screening service, suggested during the scare).

I’d also bring up the small detail which is the motivation behind the encouragement and mandating of mass testing too, which we all know here was nothing whatsoever to to with tracking and controlling the spread of a deadly virus. I don’t need to spell out what the obvious intention was behind the whole PCR/LFT obsession, but suffice to say we’ve never ever mass tested for any other respiratory virus ( along with other unprecedented theatrical bollocks, such as masking, of course ) historically, so I think that’s another give away that the whole thing was a pure sham and Kabuki theatre. It worked though as they got the desired outcome didn’t they? They still sell the tests in the shops over here anyway..

What the hell do they do with the information? And if you are ill with flu why would you go shopping? And if you send a friend because you are too ill to leave the house, surely you know you have flu or a very bad cold or Covid or whatever you want to call it?

A very good and thorough look at vaccination in general, the risks and benefits, inc the Covid jabs. This is what the author has to say about the MMR jab;

”As discussed above, it is a bit of a debate if the MMR vaccine decreases measles rates, since while regular vaccination does reduce measles rates, permanent immunity to it disappears within the population, and outbreaks will still occur within the vaccinated population. Sadder still, measles had almost completely disappeared at the time the vaccine for it was introduced (so there was essentially no justification for introducing it), and in effect by creating the vaccine we turned a non-existent problem into a permanent one by doing so. From my perspective, the greatest problem with the MMR vaccine is its frequent association with autism, something I believe is much worse than developing measles and something you are at a much higher risk for than the infection itself.”

Another very good article from the Mid Western Doctor – his work is very thorough and insightful. So many people (self included) have been red-pilled about vaccines following the current democide that I wonder if some of the media commentators who currently mindlessly toe the line will be forced to actually do some research and publish some more even-handed content. We live in hope anyway.

Yes he obviously puts a lot of thought, time and effort into his articles. Just got an invitation for our daughter to go have her first HPV jab. That will be getting dutifully ignored. They’re quite good here as they don’t harass you. You get a reminder in the post and then they get the message. I ignored the Hep B one also. Total crapola.

“Beware the smart phone emergency alerts”

I can’t turn off these alerts. I have a Samsung Galaxy and the toggle button for emergency alerts is greyed out so I can’t access the setting. Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

I can change it on my Samsung. You may have tried this, but I went to Settings-Notifications-Advanced Settings-Wireless emergency alerts. I can toggle ‘Allow Alerts’ on and off. Good luck!

the whole episode is excellent but the ‘bombshell bit’ is June Raine talking about AZ vaccine side-effects..from about 45 mins in…..

I’m still a bit stunned about the psychotic chilling casualness of it actually!

Summary:Following widespread distribution and injection of Spike-producing therapeutics, Dr. Krüger noticed a number of changes on which she was asked to consult:

  1. Younger patients are being seen, often 30- to 50-year- old.
  2. Tumors are growing more aggressively and faster.
  3. Tumors are larger.
  4. Tumors exhibit heterogeneity.
  5. Multifocal tumor growth and bilateral tumor growths are more frequent.
  6. Co-temporal onset of more than one type of cancer.
  7. Benign tumors have accelerated growth possibly signifying malignant transformation.
  8. The physiologic process of inflammation was noted as a possible source of breast pain.

German breast cancer specialist in Sweden warned of this even earlier than Prof. Dalgleish.

About the forthcoming “emergency alerts” to be mass-tested on the 23rd:

The madness of the proposal lies in the near-certainty that these alerts will generate a worse emergency than the alleged “threat” they’re alerting us to. Imagine a fully-packed football stadium where all smart-phone holders receive a 10 minute siren sound, that they’re unable to ignore, at more or less the same time! The pandemonium that will ensue could be the makings of another Hillsborough disaster, as everyone panics and lunges for the nearest exit!

If you’re unable to change the emergency alert settings on your phone, as I am, I’ve just discovered that disabling WiFi and mobile data might work. Going to try it and see what happens on the 23rd. If no success, it’s new phone time!

About the phone emergency alerts; I’m not surprised that Gyngell says “beware”, or that there a fair number of bloggers expressing concern/suspicions about them, because after the last 3 years, and the decades of govt activity before that which became visible as a result, it’s obvious that govt don’t care very much or at all about our health or safety, except in so far as it impacts our productivity, ability to consume and out levels of compliance, and therefore “emergency alerts” can not be about looking after us …

My own theory is that these alerts, and the pop-up box you have to click to acknowledge it before being able to resume normal phone activity, are about measuring the population’s digital ID and CBDC capability. ie what percentage of the population own a smart phone capable of being used for CBDC and digital ID purposes/processes and transactions.

If the number of people able to receive and acknowledge the alerts is considered high enough, meeting a certain threshold, they’ll push ahead with CBDC etc. And if it isn’t we may see a series of initiatives, incentives, etc designed to increase smart phone uptake.

Your analysis makes perfect sense. They couldn’t care less if we’re all drowned by some rogue monster tsunami but they do want to test the nation’s digital ‘presence’. Whatever they’re doing it’s probably not good. I wonder if there is a facility for replying to such an alert with a big F U?
