“Fresh pandemic panic as virologists discover bird flu spreads ‘efficiently’ in ferrets”
Isn’t it funny how nature usually creates a serious pandemic maybe once in a century yet, lately, there’s seems to be 10 coming all at once! Odd timing that! For nature?
Or maybe it’s not nature doing this?
Why is mankind its own worst enemy?
These virologists need to get a life. Honestly, I am almost fell off my avian flu infected parrot perch this morning when I read that. Bird flu and ferrets? What next: frogs can spread bird flu? Or will it be birds spreading frog flu? Fly flu? Ant flu? My take is to dismiss it with the disdain and ridicule it deserves. Where is ‘The Day Today’ when you need it…for those who don’t know it was Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci’s excellent surreal News parody in the 1990s.
When the preoccupation with viruses is so intense and relentless, ( they’re so desperate they’re wading through all of the animal kingdom, seemingly ) you know that what TPTB have planned is precisely bugger all to do with protecting us from killer viruses. Never in my lifetime have I heard the words ”virus” and ”pandemic” used with such frequency, so that they become part of everyday vocabulary, as I have over the last few years. The tactics at play are so laughably transparent it’s pathetic beyond words.
And really, elderly folk who’ve demonstrably lived decades without dying from a virus due to having a kick-ass immune system, should really know better. But I think it’s these guys that are more prone to being brainwashed as I suspect this sizeable segment of society are more reliant on MSM for their news and are more likely to trust their doctor. They’re also repeatedly told that due to their old age they’re forever classed as ”vulnerable”, which really gets on my tripe because then they’re the ones the unnecessary flu/Covid jabs are aimed at and if they die due to these useless shots, well, ‘old age’ did it.
Spot on Mogs.
One other point re older people, not only do they still trust MSM and in the UK that means the BBC, but they also simply cannot get their heads round the idea that their government would deliberately aim to do them harm, let alone kill them.
Well said, Mogwai. One thing we’ve discovered over the last 3 years is that most people are gullible, keen to conform, overly-trusting of authority and lacking in critical thinking. When the MSM becomes corrupted and relentlessly pushes the narratives of TPTB, society as a whole is doomed.
Great words, Mogs, you’re absolutely bang on. It’s this ‘trust’ issue that is a major sticking point. Most of those who don’t search for alternative news, because it’s just not something they’ve ever done and are not au fait with doing internet searches or listening to others, are the ones who will keep voting in corrupt politicians, cheering on lockdowns, lining up to be jabbed, getting electric cars and so on. They’re also the ones who keep having health issues or getting Covid, so they say, and can’t explain it to themselves. The idea that a massive agenda is in play that is actually going to harm them and, importantly, affect their children’s children’s future in awful ways is totally off their radar.
And I’ll second that Aethelred
Totally agree…but my hope is that this stupidity is becoming more and more obvious? A friend recently said…”don’t you wish this would all come to a head, quickly?”…..and part of me thinks it should….
Let’s have WW3, whatever it looks like, and on all fronts..rather than this interminable waiting?
I’m not convinced I’ve thought it through entirely, (LOL!) but I know you will know what I mean…..??
Andrew Brigden will be known as a great man of the morals, justice and truth ,a trusted man, and will become a great leader, Mark my words!
“Suella’s crackdown on woke police”
Issues? Warning?
She’s supposed to be their boss! Act like it, ORDER them to comply! Get rid of all rainbow flags and paraphernalia and stop taking the knee! Stop dancing in the streets and no more gender signalling on any of your publicly owned property! Or face the sack, from a constable to the chief inspector!
You can’t order anyone to do anything now, that’s bullying. You have to ask them nicely if they feel like it, and if they don’t, well, that’s that, there’s nothing you can do.
That’s right. Raab, like him or not, was clearly pushed out of his job for what was said to be bullying but was probably firm management. The Civil Service is, I imagine, a hotbed of wokery pokery. The same could happen to Braverman. Every time I read about her, I get the impression of someone who is just about holding onto her job by the skin of her teeth. The woke mob want her out. It’s funny how the climate alarmists XR or JSO have now take up migration as part of their remit. Whatever shadowy hand that is pulling their strings, it’ll have Braverman in its sights for sure.
Seconded.
This is Tucker’s last monologue..and worth a listen….
https://rumble.com/v2jaois-tucker-carlson-full-monologue-april-19-2023.html
I think this is the truth of why he was sacked..the truth he spoke about BigPharma…I also think that is why Andrew Brigden has gone…..
If nothing else, it should scare us all that PharmaMoney is now the arbiter of everything….they are in charge of worldwide Governments..that much is now totally clear…..
JP Sears’ recent vid on how 5 companies own 90% of the media is worth a watch, plus A Midwestern Doctor has just done another insightful substack on this (also cross-posted by Dr Pierre Kory).

Both excellent articles……I Love JP and I feel I am in good company if he agrees that the ‘Pharma’ angle is one of the theories…..
Thanks, Gums! I really like RFK Jr but I do not agree with him about Ukraine one little bit. The US have been therefrom the start to facilitate regime change, nothing to do with trying to stand up for the little guy. The US are utterly corrupt in this as is the Ukrainian leadership. The US have been complicit in many acts of terrorism, destroying country after country for the past 60 years and more. It’s this blind spot in his world-view that is most worrying. Plus he believes in man-made climate change. Another blind spot. Either he is worryingly wrong or I have become far too radicalised. I don’t think I have because I’ve read widely and listened to some very smart people. It’s a mystery. I guess if he came out guns blazing on those two issues, he wouldn’t stand a chance. I don’t know.
“Rishi Sunak refuses to apologise for U.K.’s past involvement in slave trade or to pledge reparations”
Got one thing right, then.
If polls had shown him it’d be a winner, he’d had done so in a heartbeat.
That’s the really scary and pathetic thing about today’s centrist politics and politicians.
Undoubtedly. TPTB behind the scenes must have balanced the risk to the UK ESG ™ against voter risk and decided it was worth a punt. Or perhaps they spotted the upset caused by Welby’s rep fund…
Has Fishy’s family got connections to the slave trade going way back perchance?
“Denying The Sexes Is Bigger Than Bathrooms And Sports. It’s About Forcing All of us To Live A Lie”
Yep. So is the “rules-based international order”, “NATO is a defensive alliance”, “the Ukraine war was unprovoked”, our “world-beating NHS, police and civil service”, “the Government is here to help”, elections can change things, ESG, DIE, woke, man-made climate change and our CO2 emissions having an influence on it, Covid, PCR and lateral flow tests, masks and the “safe and effective vaccines”- the latter being 3 lies in one go.
There are many more, of course, and we all know what Solshenitzyin’s precious advise for humans was in that regard:
STOP PARTICIPATING IN THEIR LIES!!!
This is the USA, but it is applicable everywhere….

@stkirsch
Did you see that the FDA pulled a bait and switch? They approved the bivalent only on vaccinated people because there was no trial in unvaccinated.
Now they just changed the indication and said everyone can have it! No RCT. No trial. No approval process. They used the influenza model that they programmed people to accept for 20 years.
And did you notice that nobody in the medical community objected to this at all? Stunning!!
Who needs clinical trials? This will really streamline drug approval in the future.
And of course, Congress is never going to ask about this because they trust the FDA. That’s how science works!
I just thought you’d like to know.
Yes, I read about the FDA tactics.
”…Individuals may receive a single dose of a bivalent vaccine, rather than multiple doses of the original monovalent mRNA vaccines’
Do you think they might be using this ploy of a (up to now) single dose to try to cajole the unjabbed into ‘giving in’ and offering their arms? Especially those who want to visit USA? Still a firm NO from me!
I also read that though unjabbed adults can forego the series of monovalent jabs and have a single (allegedly) bivalent jab, babes in arms and younger children should have 2 or 3 bivalent jabs, dependant on which brand?
Still pushing multi doses of the untested concoction on innocent children, then!
Oh, I may be wrong, is this the slurry that was tested on 7 mice?
The U.K. are still pushing the multi dose route
Must have millions of vials, paid for by the taxpayers, left on the shelves and need using up…

updated 26 April 2023
“Catching up with missed doses
If you have not yet had either of your first 2 doses of the vaccine (or a third dose for those with a weakened immune system) you should have them as soon as possible.
If you are eligible and you have missed an earlier booster, you should have a dose this spring to catch up. You will not need another dose during the summer.”
Bloody hell !
https://brownstone.org/articles/top-ten-quotes-nyt-fauci-interview/
An interesting read.
Towards the end of the article Jeff Tucker asks ChatGT for an answer re ‘gain of function’ and the program spews out a textbook response wholly at odds with what Fauci said in the interview.
Very amusing
“On May 6, 2023, at his coronation in London, Charles will be officially crowned monarch of the United Kingdom and its Commonwealth (colonies). A large empire.
As the centre piece of the coronation ceremony, Charles will swear ‘The Coronation Oath’, essentially pledging his allegiance to the people of Great Britain and to protecting the sovereignty of the country and its traditions.
If Charles does not break his relationship with the World Economic Forum before this point, he will be performing an act of treason. The implications of this are profound.
As yet, the British people have not woken-up to their fate. But should the truth emerge of this singularly blatant hypocrisy, the future of the British monarchy will be dark indeed.
The UK is officially recognised as a ‘constitutional monarchy’. With an unrevoked Common Law constitution stretching back to the Magna Carta of 1215, the true political power lies with the people and not with parliament. Something which has been largely hidden from public knowledge.
If there is to be a future king or queen, the country needs that person to exercise his/her right to stand-up against the continual parliamentary usurpation of the people’s power.”

Jerry Springer has died after a ‘brief illness’, which I think has replaced ‘died suddenly’ in the media. It is safe to say he was probably injected: –
