Hmm, I’m struggling with this one, I think the influx of dinghy people fleeing the famine & tyranny of France might have had a bigger impact.

But hey let’s not blame the refugees, they didn’t ask for their own countries to be blown apart, politicians created this mess, so why expect those that caused it to fix it!

Unjustified wars created these monsters.

Question though: what has Prevent ever actually prevented?

Prevent has prevented Sir David Amess from ever speaking his mind again …

I understand from the politicians and media that the reason David Amess died is that people like me don’t use their real name when posting on the internet.

I know I might be going out on a limb here but I don’t think that is the reason he died.

Apparently it’s because of a young man who was already radicalised, was locked in his room for months on end, watching Youtube videos of a guy using his own name and now Mark Zuckerberg, who owns Twitter, has to make everybody use their real names when posting knob gags or cat videos.

The last time I used my real name on some web site, it led to some asshole impersonating me to publish badly written gay porn masking as frantic sex contact requests there, something the people running this site consider to be free speech.

I also don’t believe that anyone ever died (or will die) because I found this rather off-putting.

some points to remember from this tragedy:

The murderer was not a constituent

What was the murderer doing in another consituency

How did the murderer get an appointment with his victim outwith his constituency?

And is it merely coincidental that the murder victim was a strong proponent against the coercion of the jabs, pro-Brexit and vehemently anti-lockdown……

Occam’s Razor. This was a false flag.

The murder of Catholic, Conservative / Tory MP, Sir David Amess on October 15, 2021

On Friedrich Nietzsche’s “God is Dead” 177 th birthday.

It is reported that police refused to allow a Priest to give David Amess the last rites.
 
The media is already priming it’s audience with “perhaps we will never know the real reason why” …

What nobody is addressing is why his Somali assassin, traveled from his central / north London home, 50 miles to the Essex county coastal town of Leigh-on-Sea to murder a sitting MP, when there are plenty of other MPs holding constituency meetings nearer to home.

This was an attack on democracy.

Here’s why Sir David Amess was murdered :

From the pov of his real assassins, not the nominal patsy, his unforgivable mistake was to be a staunch Brexiteer and member of Leave Means Leave …

David Amess was murdered on October 15, 2021 = 666 days into Boris Johnson’s Tory government – the State Opening of Parliament and the Queen’s Speech and the introduction of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill 2019-20, all on December 19, 2019.

The European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill 2019-20 became the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 giving legal provision for ratifying the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement.

The UK’s EU Referendum project began when the, then leader of the opposition and future Tory PM, David Cameron, announced that “if he became PM, a Conservative government will hold a Referendum on any EU treaty”. This offer was announced on September 26, 2007 = 666 months after David Amess was born on March 26, 1952 – hence why David Amess was selected as the victim rather than any other Euro-sceptic Tory MP.

October 15, 2021 also, just happened to be = 666 months and 666 days since Boris Johnson was born on June 19, 1964.

Kabbalistically, this is clearly an attack on the Tories for reasons of Brexit. No doubt about it.

Note : This is the second “666 day terrorist attack” on recent Tory governments, both occurring 666 days into their term, the State Opening of Parliament and the Queens Speech.

The first was the 2017 Westminster Attack on March 22, 2017 = the 666 th day of David Cameron’s Tory government which began on May 27, 2015.

I very much doubt whether the patsies are the ones with the keys to the kabbalistic calendar …

I don’t think there’s much virtue in publishing disproportionate scare stuff on another topic in a ‘sceptical’ site.

Quite predictably, the random (in the probability sense) nutter attack and killing of Amess has been used by the oppressors for their own ends. You have to guard against being had – yet again. In comparison with the planned Covid scam, ‘terrorism’ is a minor issue.

Apparently Amess was very keen to promote open debate about the vaxport, something this non-democracy is quickly stamping out. This killing has all the hallmarks of a false flag – especially with the MP’s reaction. They’d already decided that freedom of speech online should be shut down and they’ve very clearly chosen this incident as the pretext. Yet the two ends don’t meet. It’s inexplicable that a politician killed by a supposedly angry muslim should result in closing down free speech.

Official narrative can never again be trusted without intense scrutiny.

Mine too but when I commented on 16th re news of that day, 3 comments in reply ridiculed and gain-said it. I see some comments that seem to have fallen for government’s standard trick of inciting hatred too. I despair when even scptics do that

The trouble is with terrorism is that it rarely afflicts the right people.
If this had happened to the Scottish fishwife instead there would have been dancing in the streets of Glasgow for a week.

Which terrorists – government?
How many times have governments set someone up to get rid of someone high-profile who is not complying with government?
Government wants to divide and conquer us.
So, useful for government if one set-up can also be used to trick public into rowing about religion, ethnicity etc.

Yes. Actual ‘Terrorism’ (a political definition) has had very little impact compared to the other establishment scare story – Covid. The link is the use of both as control narratives.

I’m pretty sure radicalization is among the goals of the current policies. You’d have to be completely brain dead not to understand what they are doing to social integrity, and the only reaction of the perpetrators is to keep pouring more oil into the fire by increasing the censorship and repressions against dissenters. That’s a sure way to convert completely normal people into domestic terrorists.

After all terrorism is an expression of weakness and helplessness mixed with anger against overwhelming forces of some authority which the terrorist (elsewhere known as guerilla/insurgent/revolutionary/freedom fighter etc.) seeks to stand up against regardless of personal sacrifice.

BTW, today in Germany they shot down the chief editor of Bild, the big boulevard Springer-owned newspaper which frequently criticized government’s handling of the pandemic. Meanwhile, Spiegel, the green-communist newspaper which greatly supported all things government all along the way, published revelations about how Bild’s chief editor has “acted inappropriately toward women” during his employment.

So here we have one more “mainstream” newspaper which will not report any more. It’s surely going to piss off many of its rather unsophisticated readers… who knows, maybe some of them will decide to take matters into their own hands and become “terrorists”.

Thanks Bob.

Very difficult to make sense of any of that.

I find it very disappointing that the journalism and comments accept without question that the msm like The Times for example will be actually informing it’s audience accurately concerning deep state affairs.

All the media ever do in such cases is tell you what they want you to know. Nothing more. That is reason enough to provoke some independent thinking, rather than slavish, pseudo analysis of stories in The Times.

The really short version would be : The Times – telling you the truth about statecraft and assassinations.

Give me strength.
