Analysis of Swiss and German data show the death jabs are linked to drop in live births and increase in excess mortality of younger people;
”Switzerland saw a historic drop in the rate of live births in 2022.
Every month that year, there were fewer births than there had been on average over the previous six years, for an overall reduction of 8.5% in the national birth rate, according to Beck’s analysis.
In some places, the drop was even more significant — Zurich had a 16.5 % drop in its birth rate.
The last comparable drop in births, 13%, Beck said, was during the 1914 mobilization of the Swiss Army at the start of World War I, when most young men went off to fight the war.
The 2022 plummet in birth rates came on the heels of a small “Corona baby boom” — a 3% spike in birth rates in 2021, that had followed the pandemic lockdown.
According to data compiled by analyst Raimund Hagemann, COVID-19 vaccination rates among Swiss women in 2021 and early 2022 corresponded very closely to the drop in birth rates nine months following vaccination.”

Perhaps they will need more immigrants in the next decade or two?
Funny you should say that John.. I believe there’s a plan.. The Kalergi Plan..
Something that’s also suss about the motives of Muslims coming to these shores; I would never want to go and live in a Muslim country, and if I were religious ( Christianity ) my religion doesn’t teach that I should hate, harm or be intolerant to people of other or no religions. Therefore why would Muslims, whose religion does teach them these hostile behaviours, choose to come to a part of the world which has culture so completely incompatible with their own and they are taught to hold in contempt, and especially if there are a myriad of other countries which are Muslim and therefore are highly suitable to move to? I think the answer is too obvious to state.
Definitely a post that needed making.
Excellent Mogs.👍
Many thanks, huxtable. And on the topic of Muslims and Islam, here is one of my highly recommended and trusted sources, for anyone who wishes to read up more in this area. A lot of the stories covered are very depressing and shocking reading but it is the reality on the ground, which very rarely gets covered in the captured MSM. Just so as people don’t think me bigoted or talking out of my ‘Southern hemisphere’, you know? 😉 From their ‘about the site’ page:
”The world we share is at a critical moment. After fending off Muslim conquest for 1400 years, Western borders are being thrown open to an irreversible flow of migration from the Islamic world. At the same time, important questions about Islam are being stigmatized and deliberately mischaracterized as “bigotry.”
One reason is that many Muslims get offended when their religion is questioned – and this seems like a bad thing. Another is the false conflating of persons with ideology. Most Muslims are obviously not bad people. Most are “like us.” The lazy conclusion is that “true” Islam must not be significantly different or dangerous.
But, tolerance doesn’t mean denying truth. Our culture has benefited greatly from the freedom to criticize dogma. Holding Islam to a different standard not only puts hard-fought social progress at risk, but it denies an Age of Enlightenment to those most desperately in need of it. The mere fact that Islam requires special protection from scrutiny proves how necessary that scrutiny is.
Yet, where Islam dominates, there is systematic discrimination and oppression of non-believers. Where Muslims are a minority, there is a trend toward peevish self-interest and eventual violence when demands for special privilege and entitlements are not met. No other religion is so demanding of respect while doing so little to earn it.
Rather than great humanitarian accomplishment or true peace, Islam typically breeds arrogance and self-absorption: the collective petulance, narcissism and perpetual grievance that broadly characterize Muslim populations. Hinduism has very little in common with Western religion, for example, yet Hindus generally assimilate and contribute positively to host countries while Muslim migration is accompanied by social strain and net budgetary loss.”

Thanks again Mogs. 👍
A little story that was presented on BBC R4 in the early hours was the UKHSA advertising it’s recent investment in Porton Down to increase the activities on virus identification, and the potential development of new “vaccines” related to it.
A sceptical cynic that is familiar with the purpose of that lab might ask: why now? Are they just preparing for the budget, and looking for a decent deal with the Chancellor? But why advertise it via the beeb?
Porton Down ??? they’re probably looking into an environmentally friendly ‘nerve gas’.. 😉
Bit like the neutron bomb, kills people, but leaves the area intact! How caring
Class.. 😉
You don’t even have to watch the full 5mins, but can we just take a moment to digest the fresh kind of hell that is the latest TikTok ‘trend’?? And this will of course be just a tiny sample. They all look so young. WTAF?! In what kind of f*cked up society would this ever be deemed normal or acceptable?? 🙁

That is beyond tragic …
Where are the parents in this? Can you imagine if this were your daughter? I’d think I’d failed miserably at parenting and be heartbroken, but no way on earth would I be supportive. What I would be supportive of, however, is ensuring she got to a good therapist to overcome any body image issues etc because this ‘trend’, if one can call it that, because I’m confident many of these young women will regret this decision further down the line and join the ever-growing ranks of people wishing to de-transition, just screams ”mental health issues”. Society is failing young people, that much is apparent, but surely their biggest over-all influence is their parents. Or is this now old-fashioned and naive, given the amount of time they spend looking for validation on social media? Either way it’s a manifestation of a really disturbed mind and a reflection of a very sick society indeed.
Actually this is a very good article, written by psychotherapists, focusing on this very issue;
”If the concepts of ‘body’ and ‘sex’ had not been supplanted by the concepts of ‘identity’ and ‘gender’, the issues of body dysphoria (difficulty in accepting embodiment), or gender dysphoria (unease about experiencing a mismatch between biological sex and gender identity), in a non-ideological milieu would have been recognised as trauma symptoms. They also, in the first instance, would have been understood as a psychological or emotional issue, not a medical one. Only if exhaustive psychotherapeutic interventions had not resolved these distressing symptoms would a medical intervention, in the form of puberty blockers and surgery be pursued. Gender ideology hijacks, and medically pathologises, a familiar developmental experience for some CYP. Instead of normalising the questioning of identity and sexual preferences and offering psychological support, practitioners under the influence of gender ideology offer a medical treatment plan.
Our young urgently need protecting from this ideology. A paper published in 2002 by David Freedman found that a quarter of young people referred to The Tavistock Clinic had spent time in care, almost 40% had families with existing mental health problems, and half had relationship difficulties with their peers. Freedman recently learnt that despite their clients’ vulnerability and potential high risk, The Tavistock Clinic database was not maintained, there were no follow ups, and information was not kept in an easily accessible format. This lack of safeguarding within an NHS setting is astounding and begs the questions “why wouldn’t more care be taken with this vulnerable population, why would such important information be so insignificant, why wasn’t this noticed and addressed in an audit if one ever existed?”. A further question may be “was the clinic attempting to obscure the extent of trauma present in this client group?”

Meanwhile, under this Conservative Government and Parliament, divorce has become an administrative issue. Time limited procedure not available otherwise in the Courts, no need to give any reasons except “I want my right to a divorce and I want it now”.
Only the financial settlement is a precondition of a decree absolute.
I couldn’t watch this for very long at all and not just because of the imagery but the way it is edited – too fast and relentless. Maybe it’s an age thing! Anyway, Trans people are appearing everywhere now even here in the deep shires. The idea that it could be ‘trendy’ , like a fashion choice, appalls me. It is, as I keep saying, demonic.
Jesus wept!
In the future, there will be so much regret, but little sympathy.
“Just Stop Oil demands ‘contemptible’, says Starmer” What is really contemptible though is Starmer’s constant twisting, wriggling and u-turning purely to get into power. His wokery knows no bounds – he has taken the knee, has had difficulty saying what a woman is and happily drank beer and ate curry with his party stooges while the rest of us were barred from doing so. If he did gain power, which seems highly likely, it would be extremely worrying as he is a self-confessed WEF acolyte. It is this characteristic of our current politicians that makes democracy a total sham in this country. I know that is old news but more information continues to come to light as we get to grips with who holds the real power. Where is the centre? The more I learn, the more the bigger picture becomes clearer.
Something that was of interest in this respect was a sharing among our local SitP about a certain Baron David Ward’s affidavit. In 2015, apparently, all sitting MPs were sent a copy and – because they did not rebut its contents, agreed by implication – the wording of a 62 page affidavit which essentially stated the reality of the state of government and us, the governed. In it, David Ward, not a real Baron but a title he bestowed on himself when he realised the truth, challenged the voting system, the existence of money (the debt-based system) and the tax system. It may be another red herring but if you google BDW affidavit, it will lead you down another rabbit hole. Could be worth a read.
“Eco-warriors glue themselves to road to disrupt elite cycling race”
I dont like eco warriors or cyclists!
Talk about a chip on their shoulder, their almost as bad as ev evangelists!
How come cyclists get to ride on the roads motorists pay for? They pay no road tax!
Why don’t they just glue themselves together and f-off?!
Would you rather they cycle on the pavement? Which is my bug bear when I visit the UK. If both cyclists and motorists demonstrate consideration and are safe road users then I see no problem. Cyclists have every right to use the road and it’s a very convenient way to commute to work and get from A to B. Also, if the infrastructure isn’t there then that isn’t the cyclists’ fault but it all boils down to safety and increased awareness on both sides at the end of the day. The way the UK is going with all of this ULEZ nonsense I’d be expecting to see more cyclists, who probably are car owners and pay taxes anyway.
You’ve obviously not been subjected to their attitudes towards drivers! When they get out of their car and onto their bike they become a holier than thou special race who sit on a high pedestal and judge you from above! Like ev owners! Total wa*#kers!
I have to agree Dinger. Cyclists are a real menace on our roads – and cyclists includes the motor bike fraternity who also believe the Highway Code was written for another species on another planet.
The organisers of the race will have paid for the road closures, registration fees to race by the national teams so the cyclists racing yesterday had every right to ride on those roads.
The idiots who glued themselves to the tarmac had no right to obstruct the lawful passage of traffic.
Kudos to the broadcasters who gave no oxygen to the group which had carried out the stunt.
It was incredibly selfish of those idiots to interrupt what was a fantastic race & feat of superhuman endurance. 270km covered & it was only within the last 20km that the race winning attack was made.
I agree with you that selfish road users are an absolute pain but those selfish users travel by a wide variety of modes of transport. Not all cyclists are selfish idiots, same as not all drivers are.
Yes I do agree with you on those points, it’s just my experience of cyclists is usually negative, I’ve been cut up by them, passed at red lights! as if a red light isn’t even there!
I believe Mogs lives in Holland where there are more cycles than people, 17 million people, 23 million cycles! so they may have got past their hangups with bikes but cyclists here do not tend to treat other road users with courtesy.
Seconded 👍
Not to worry, Dinger. With this bad boy you don’t need to worry about eco-nutters or cyclists. I want one!! 😮

After the post from Mogwai about gender transitioning I’m not sure we can take much more, so I’m sorry, but the horror starts even before they are born.
I’m sure a few people will be aware of this..the impact of testosterone on babies, but I find myself agreeing 100% with Josh Walkos….now we aren’t talking about ‘freedom’ or ‘equality’ in the trans issue..it’s turned into some kind of full-blown evil ideology…
Champagne Joshi
@JoshWalkos
In a sea of batshit crazy “trans studies” this one in particular is absolutely insane. They actually argue that a trans man i.e. a woman who is pregnant should be allowed to continue taking testosterone despite the known risks to the baby by doing so.
Testosterone is classified as a category “X” drug by the FDA meaning while pregnant a woman should NEVER take it because of the devastating impacts on the babies development.
As I said this is well known established science and the authors of this bullshit ideologically possessed nonsense “study” actually argue that it should be allowed.
You really have to read it for it to be believed.
….I’ll leave you with one more quote that nicely summarizes these selfish assholes.
“The concerns raised by Pfeffer and colleagues focus on the modern treatment approach physicians take, which they deem excessively “precautionary” and “offspring-focused.”
“Offspring-focused” as if that is a problem….to focus on the wellbeing of the baby above all else. Only a sociopath would be selfish enough to make a statement like that.
This is truly evil, there is no other characterisation for it.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667321523000811?via%3Dihub
Agree with you. Absolutely sick and evil. Are people with an intact moral compass, sense of humanity and a conscience now a dying breed? It’s like the very fibre of our being, of what makes us inherently compassionate as humans, is being eroded and displaced. 🙁
“It’s like the very fibre of our being, of what makes us inherently compassionate as humans, is being eroded and displaced.”
That is the aim Mogs as Patrick Woods over at Technocracy News points out on a daily basis.

Well leave the fu##ers where they are.
The DM refers to the gluers as “eco warriors.”
For crying out loud. Warriors they are not. Stupid, ill-educated children more likely.
Actually that is another point. These prime thickos certainly hi-light a failing education system.
Does anyone believe Sunak’s “war on woke” is real?
Anybody believing a word spouted by Fishy needs their bumps feeling. I know I am repeating myself but anybody believing anything spouted by mainstream politicians or officials is a fool if not a downright idiot.
