Hmmm, I did wonder why there would be so many new vaccines now and emerging which are mRNA-based for various cancers when these Covid death jabs have been proven, without a shadow of doubt as far as I’m concerned, to cause cancer, particularly of the ‘Turbo’ variety. Seems that despite Elon confessing to being vax injured he’s still a lover of the mRNA tech. Guess the dose is in the poison, right Elon? And no, you cannot whinge that people are killing the planet and that the world is over-populated whilst simultaneously declaring you’re striving for a cure for cancer. Cancer research is a multibillion dollar industry and very conveniently shortens people’s lives so pull the other one. Nobody with a functioning brain is that naive to expect cancer to ever go away.
https://sagehana.substack.com/p/weffie-agenda-good-cop-elon-musk
Cancer isn’t one disease, and a “cure” for one type might be ineffective against another. To be fair, letting nature take its course would be a far better strategy.
True, nature doesn’t need a dollar sign in front of it!
Cancer Research UK – income last year £670 million or thereabouts and it has been this way for decades. An industry that will never go away because there are too many vested interests and too many making a good butty from it all.
Furthermore, I have been told that cures for cancers have been found but will never be released because the outcomes will not be of the desired varieties.
Why is it lots of the Davos Deviants are living in to their nineties? Soros, Schwab, the peanut farmer, Kissinger and others I am sure. Summats going on.
Yeah, I know when i see these charity runners and whatnot raising money for them I just think what a shame they’re so naive to think their good intentions and hard work will go towards anything useful. Probably whatever they raise might pay to replace the coffee in the machines or buy a load of paper for the printer in the office, possibly some going towards the staff drinks kitty at Xmas, but fundraisers’ money sure as hell doesn’t go towards research. That’s one well funded organisation. I don’t know anything about McMillan though. If I was choosing a charity to raise money for it wouldn’t be cancer and I’d be doing my homework as to who needs it most and where exactly the money goes. Isn’t Comic Relief another scam where hardly anything goes to the people you’re assuming it goes to? The bulk spent on overheads and such like?
One thing I have learnt during the Scamdemic is that most charities are scams and the bigger ones most certainly are and to a shocking degree. Prior to “the awakening” I realised something was wrong when the £150,000 plus salaries paid to so-called CEO’s were consistently pipping £150k and “charity begins at home” took on a powerful relevance.
Children in Need is probably one of the most egregious examples. Terry Wogan used to draw £10k just for presenting duties – nice.
The charity industry is indirect taxation of the gullible, plain and simple.
Anybody feeling generous should support the very local charities such as hospices, otherwise keep your money in your pocket.
The writing was on the wall after Live Aid which everyone of a certain age will still see as a seminal moment. The fact that a great deal of the money ended up in warlords coffers, buying Russian arms, still isn’t widely understood. Neither that most of the food sent to them ended up rotting on the quay, as there wasn’t the infrastructure to get it out where it might do some good, or was stopped by one ‘side’ or the other. Its just that incredible naivety that many never grow out of, that everyone else wants to be good citizens and forego their self interest to achieve what you think is important.

If it means being clasped to her charming bosom to be consoled, I’m in. Otherwise, she can get lost.
“Anheuser-Busch CEO breaks silence after Bud Light’s partnership with trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney drew backlash: ‘We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people’”
I saw a Tweet from Kirsty Allsop yesterday, declaring that she didn’t feel threatened by Dylan, and didn’t see why anyone would. And right there is how we have ended up miles down the road to hell. Affluent, middle class (mainly) women, thinking that they are being kind and asking ‘What harm can it do.?’. Well Kirsty, this journey has been a million steps. If they had explained before you set off that the end point would be the trashing of our society and everything we valued, would you have started it..?
I don’t feel “threatened” by Dylan as such. What is threatening is that people are no longer free to say that his behaviour is an aberration that should not be emulated, and that advertising and the arts generally have been captured by the political left as a means to reshape society as they think it should be.
Acting and the arts has always been gay based!
Bay Atlas, Oscar Hercules !
I think that explains where her IQ settles!
“The BBC’s liberal bubble has finally burst”
All of woke (as with religions) relies on total acceptance of all kinds of hypocrisies, contradictions and articles of faith over fact. All it took was one person to call out the bullshit. Who knew..?
I ripped this off Peter Hitchens but arguably the difference is that the core of most “traditional” religions is to explain the unexplainable through belief in a god. Woke is just a set of opinions on how things ought to be.
Probably the same people who lined up for every single ‘safe and effective’ booster.
Agreed – I have noticed that it is often the morally sanctimonious virtue signallers that are first to embrace things like heat pumps and electric vehicles (and, indeed, experimental “vaccines”), precisely so they can signal their (self-assessed) moral superiority to friends and colleagues.
👍👍 A case of ‘cheaper and warmer to wait’ perhaps?!😉
Bless em, maybe they should grow some brains of their own!
Yes heat pumps and boosters definitely go together in the case of all my acquaintances with heat pumps, they are so smug…
And paid over the odds for an EV with its green flash numberplate; so useful for virtual signalling. Caveat emptor.🤣🤣
“Teenager took his own life after ‘losing hope over climate change’”
Unspeakably sad, but there are so many youngsters who are trying to maintain some hope of life against all the doom. It is truly evil to try and convince kids that they will never grow up, and its all their fault because they can’t stop people driving cars and eating beef.
“You have thrown the worst fear

See it as the rubbish taking itself out.
Bit harsh LM, although I get your point. Kids need certainty and encouragement, imo. If you needed to figure out which of 103 genders you were, until you die in a fireball with the rest of the planet at 28 because no-one will go vegan, hardly surprising they get confused.
“The pure folly of Germany’s nuclear phase-out”
Is everyone in positions of power on crack cocaine..?
I’ve seriously wondered that. Has anybody done research on cocaine in relation to belief and the critical faculty?
(Disclaimer – we Christian people are not prone to use narcotics to bolster faith, preferring rational discussion).
There have been rumours of impropriety around Gove and Boris amongst others, Gove pretty consistently. Pictures are circulating of The Ukrainian leader with a big pile of the stuff on his ‘war desk’. I preferred it when they just got pissed, but sobered up the morning after..
It was an open secret that WW2 German Blitzkrieg infantry were all high on crack when they advanced for 30 hours straight. Maybe something similar.
Your final statement Jon. What about the wine, eh..? The wine..?

Here’s a very interesting research paper from Slovenia looking at vax rates and excess mortality. If you don’t have much time I’d advise jumping to page 19 as they have a very good conclusion and bring up important points. Here’s a small section;
”COVID-19 vaccination policies have been widely adopted on the supposition that COVID-19 vaccination was “safe and effective”, a slogan that was widely circulated, even in the medical literature. These present calculations suggest that, rather than “safe and effective”, COVID-19 vaccination has done irreparable harm to the health and lifespans of billions of people worldwide. Based on calculations performed for each of five 28 day intervals in 2021 and 2022, our results indicate that the mortality of the vaccinated coronavirus infected groups was 14.5% higher on average than the mortality of non-vaccinated coronavirus infected groups.”

I also just came across this preprint from Norway from mid Feb:
Truly devastating news for the goo-ed:
https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202302.0350/v1
“Abstract: We primarily study a possible link between 2021 COVID-19 vaccination uptake in Europe and monthly 2022 excess all-cause mortality, i.e., mortality higher than before the pandemic. Analyses of 31 countries weighted by population size show that all-cause mortality during the first nine months of 2022 increased more the higher the 2021 vaccination uptake; a one percentage point increase in 2021 vaccination uptake was associated with a monthly mortality increase in 2022 by 0.105 percent (95% CI, 0.075-0.134). When controlling for alternative explanations, the association remained robust, and we discuss the result emphasizing causality as well as potential ecological fallacy. Also, the study shows that 2021 all-cause mortality was lower the higher the vaccination uptake, but this association became non-significant when controlling for alternative explanations.“
Very interesting. Thanks for the links!
More on excess mortality and cancer diagnosis. If a picture paints a thousand words..OK, graph in these instances. Anything by Ethical Skeptic is always worth paying attention to but the first graph shown is very revealing. Thank the gods for these data-centric peeps who make things easy on the eye for the rest of us.

Pretty obvious that something went wrong in particular for the under 45s in 2021.

“Long Covid sense loss ‘can be cured by sniffing an orange’”
Ffs, long covid doesn’t exist! Only in the minds of weak, dependent hangers-on after more state payments! Show me real evidence to prove me wrong! and stop kowtowing to these work from home spineless millennails!
Can also be cured by registering for self-employment…
I do believe that there is a “there”, there. But it is orders of magnitude less common than the legacy media makes it seem. Mostly it is Long Lockdown, Long Mask, Long Jab Injury, or all of the above. Or Long I Don’t Wanna Work, lol.

Words of hope from Frederick Edward over at TCW:
