We know very well what kind of “Covid stories” they are hoping we share.

I swear I’ve already responded to this but I suggest we should make sure we don’t give them what they want – nothing to get hold of. There was no pandemic, and the inquiry is illegitimate.

Now if it was called the lockdowns inquiry, we might get somewhere…

Well, I have over 200 pages of notes that I made over the course of the lockdowns and related human rights abuses (going from March 2020 up to March 2022), perhaps fittingly ending with the revelation that from January 2020 to June 2021, Sweden had below average mortality. I figure I might as well use them for this inquiry (or should that be “inquiry”?). If not for this, then what?

I would further suggest that much of what we need to know about the lockdowns is covered in the articles and comments of this site, and I hope that they will be preserved at all costs. I wonder if Toby might consider submitting some of them to the “inquiry”?

Almost every powerful institution and individual in the US sphere was behind the Covid scam. The idea that any inquiry held while most of the protagonists are alive and in power would be meaningful seems fanciful to me. In any case, Covid wasn’t some aberration preceded and followed by sanity – it was simply the logical progression of a drift that started a fair while ago and continues. Sheeple populace placated with beer and circuses, believing whatever the technocrats tell them, and wicked people exploiting this for their own selfish ends.

But don’t worry, it’s an independent “inquiry”…

I tend to agree with the person who said that if you make a contribution, at least they can’t say they don’t have a record of the crimes against humanity.

Maybe. I suppose if millions of people wrote in and said “there was no pandemic” they would struggle to cover it up completely. As it is, that won’t happen and our responses will simply be counted as contributing to the “community engagement” and serve to tick another box and lend legitimacy.

The inquiry isn’t a coverup or whitewash, it’s part of the Big Lie.

The value of entering your views is not to convince the inquiry, it’s to ensure their paper trail has alternative views. If only selective stories are referred to and published and they all support the narrative, you will be able to ask where the critical opinions are in the knowledge that they do exist. Yes it’s a Big Lie but it needs to become so unwieldy and contradictory that everyone sees it.

I think people see it but choose consciously or subconsciously to ignore it and move on

Nobody I know is remotely interested in the inquiry or in reflecting on what happened

People are being bombarded with distractions which require them to look elsewhere, a coincidence I’m sure. There will still be some looking at the inquiry who could be motivated enough by the views of others to start doing their own research. Think of it as a wider audience with greater potential.

If schools are allowing children to identify as cats, dinosaurs etc. how would they react if a child identified as furniture? Does anyone know for sure if this is genuine or satire?

He could identify as a chair…

The Babylon Bee has a (satirical) piece about a child identifying as a pirate and wanting to have an eye surgically removed, though as I can’t be bothered subscribing I could not read it.

I don’t know. A washing machine for three hours straight. Still, it could be genuine. People do some curious things. I used to be “addicted” to eating tissue. And people with OCD or hyperactivity tend to hyper focus on things. I hear many musicians etc. have this. A washing machine for three hours? It’s not very different to running a half decent marathon time. Still, I don’t think the rest of us should have to have our lives disrupted by the shoe people. Get them help if they need it, be respectful, but don’t rearrange your life around their fantasies and addictions and disorders.

What would Lawrence Fox or Gays Against Groomers think of you Elton? Should we start questioning your ability to parent I wonder? Sympathizing with the alphabet nutters and criticizing Florida’s new child protection laws are quite the red flags regarding your attitude.

”As his farewell tour wraps up, pop singer Elton John said he has no plans to perform again in the United States due to the country’s “growing swell of anger and homophobia.”
That’s according to what the “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” musician said in an interview he gave Radio Times, where he noted what he described as a growing number of anti-grooming laws being passed in states, including Florida, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, North Dakota, and South Dakota. He specifically singled out Florida’s laws, calling them “disgraceful.”
“It’s all going pear-shaped in America,” John told Radio Times, as written about in a piece in The New York Times. “We seem to be going backwards. And that spreads. It’s like a virus that the LGBTQ+ movement is suffering.”

I, and I suspect many many people have no issue with LGB, (HLGB to be correct).

The problem is the mental illnesses, fetishes and perversions that have been tagged on the end by noisy little groups who seem to think that you can ignore truth and reason without question or justification. Few people are criticising individuals rights to be what they want to be. The criticism is against the ‘movement’ which has little objective in my eyes beyond sexually corrupting and grooming children.

Did Pfizer know? A stark but honest warning from Dr Naomi Wolf | UKColumn

Naomi Woolf on the UK column interview points out that all the Pfizer docs. refer to fertility issues/side effects – none to respiratory effects/side effects which you would imagine researchers would be concentrating on given that it was supposed to treat a “respiratory” condition.

from the article…

“A BBC spokesman said: “Impartiality is at the core of the BBC’s mission and public purposes, so we will continue to cover the Ulez debate from a range of perspectives without fear or favour.””

BBC’s mission? There was me thinking they just broadcast the news…

Morning all….

Interesting story from Clayton Morris on Redacted….

“The Dutch government was successful in seizing farms and now they want to take over private homes too. The Housing Act will allow municipalities to force homeowners to sell their homes ONLY to people with a lower to middle income in the value of the home is less than 355,000€.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGh79mrAiWQ

Although it seems this is just the Netherlands at the moment..I’m always aware that these sort of things are often ‘rolled-out’ quietly before they are taken up elsewhere??

https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/basketball-player-oscar-cabrera-dies-at-28-blaming-heart-pfizer

Professional athlete Oscar Cabrera, 28, passed away from a heart attack while undergoing a stress test at a health center in Santo Domingo. Héctor Gómez, a sports commentator from Santo Domingo, shared the announcement of the athlete’s death on Instagram on June 22, 2023.

“I got a damn Myocarditis from putting a f*cking vaccine. (I got 2 doses of Pfizer) And I knew it! Many people warned me. But guess that? It was compulsory or I couldn’t work,”

Addition from…..
@TexasLindsay_

It’s important to note that 28-year-old athlete Oscar Cabrera first collapsed and started having heart issues after 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in 2021. However, he did not die of myocarditis/heart attack until a stress test was performed last week—in 2023.
The most published Cardiologist in the world, @P_McCulloughMD
says anyone with an inflamed heart should not be exercising—for years—because it could result in death.

Another man in his 40s died as a result of a ‘medical incident’ at Glastonbury. According to the BBC deaths at that festival are rare.

There was a pause in the tennis recently while someone in the crowd received medical treatment. The BBC commentator put that one down to the warm weather.
