Excellent one here from Dr Meryl Nass. Biological warfare, pandemics, mRNA jabs and the WHO;
”Perhaps to keep the lucrative funding going, fears about pandemics have been deliberately amplified over the past several decades. The federal government has been spending huge sums on pandemic preparedness over the past 20 years, routing it through many federal and state agencies. President Biden’s proposed 2024 budget requested “$20 billion in mandatory funding across DHHS for pandemic preparedness” while the DHS, DOD, and the State Department have additional budgets for pandemic preparedness for both domestic and international spending.
Although the 20th century experienced only 3 significant pandemics (the Spanish flu of 1918-19 and 2 influenza pandemics in 1957 and 1968) the mass media have presented us with almost non-stop pandemics during the 21st century: SARS-1 (2002-3), avian flu (2004-on), swine flu (2009-10), Ebola (2014, 2018-19), Zika (2016), COVID (2020-2023), and monkeypox (2022-23). And we are incessantly told that more are coming, and that they are likely to be worse.
We have been assaulted with warnings and threats for over 2 decades to induce a deep fear of infectious diseases. It seems to have worked.”
https://brownstone.org/articles/who-amendments-increase-man-made-pandemics/
Not only the media but popular culture too, namely films, are either about contagious diseases, the aftermath of contagious diseases or absolutely packed to the gunnels with hints about them. All the time there is this underlying message of the world not being safe whether it be disease, aliens, natural disasters, asteroids, the sun dying and so on, all apocalyptic visions of the future. Is it any wonder our children are depressed? I find the world of films a rather empty, joyless and dreary place these days constantly trying to shove messages down your throat rather than allow yourself the simple pleasures of escaping the world for a few hours.
Look who’s here: Mogs, Aethelred and Huxley.

Morning all
Hahaha!
Morning HP! 
And Morning Mogs! 
The main issue is how the WHO changed its definition of Pandemics. A pandemic can now be declared for any infectious disease, even if it does not cause significant deaths.
Correct. All part of the underhand, behind the scenes shenanigans. And I think we all know by now that the ‘virus’ was created for the death jabs, and now they have the mRNA platform established they can just create any scamdemic at will and they’ll have a ‘vaccine’ ready in 100 days, now and forever more. A very lucrative and crafty business model. Mind you, they still have to get the stuff into people’s arms. Let’s see them try their luck with that nonsense scam once more.
There will be a pandemic of pandemics!
There will be a pandemic of scamdemics!
Although the 20th century experienced only 3 significant pandemics (the Spanish flu of 1918-19 and 2 influenza pandemics in 1957 and 1968)…
Here’s a chart of GB population estimates from the Domesday census to 2016. 1957 and 1968 don’t show at all. Note the effect of the Black Death around 1350. The Spanish ‘flu barely shows as a blip in comparison – or is that the first world war as it’s of a similar scale to the 1949 blip? The most significant recent change seems to be in the early 1970s which might be due to ‘The Pill’ being made available to unmarried women.
The main thing to notice is that the start of the Industrial Revolution in the mid 1700s corresponds neatly with Britain’s population growth. It seems industrial wealth is beneficial for mortality rates despite the effects of pollution.

The Scottish scheme has been an unmitigated disaster but of course Fishy has his orders. Further increases to the cost of living for ordinary folk? That will do nicely.
If there’s anything that can further impoverish people and transfer that wealth upwards, they’ll jump on it, HP. Why are we not arming ourselves with pitchforks and marching on Westminster already? I’ve had enough of this and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Pitch forks are racist so they have all been confiscated.
“It’s time to end the rewilding menace”
Wholeheartedly agree. Since the local council and well-meaning others decided to rewild the local area ie, not bother to cut verges, pathways, etc there’s been a big increase in ragweed (poisonous to horses and an irritant), nettles (stingy), hemlock (poisonous) and Himalayan Balsam (an invasive, non-native species). Bramble clumps are springing up everywhere. The effing idiots don’t seem to realise that rewilding needs proper MANAGEMENT – its not about just leaving land which has been previously maintained to do it’s own thang, it has to be managed back to some semblance of its original diversity otherwise the muscular plant thugs of the world just take over.
A truly wild area needs large grazing animals like Boar, Aurochs and Bison and predators to eat them. In evolutionary terms many of the wild flowers and butterflies we like to see depended originally on living on the regrowth following the devastation caused by these grazing animals.
And I agree too. There’s a guy down the road, a retired farmer by all accounts, who has left three or four large fields to go ‘wild’ and planted loads of trees. He cuts paths through the long grass with his mower but the land looks totally drab – large clumps of thistles and nettles, docks and long grasses etc and virtually no flowers. He fails to understand that he needs grazing animals there to keep the pasture vibrant and healthy and actually actively manage it. It’s become a wasteland and I never see any deer or rabbits in there.
Where I live it’s pretty rural in parts. On many roads, direction and speed limit signs are no longer visible, and many junctions and narrow are now much more dangerous because of greatly decreased visibility. In our town some of the commonly used paths can now fit fewer people through them because the bushes and nettles have been allowed to grow out of control. Before lockdowns, I remember all of it being much better kept. “Rewilding” and “covid” seem to have been a convenient excuse for the council to simply do less countryside management.
Yes, that’s happening everywhere. Signage disappearing into the hedges and the roads developing serious potholes. Sometimes I wonder whether they are allowing it all to collapse because they don’t see any car users using these roads…but I must be mistaken, surely…
I straddle the white lines on country roads, when it’s safe to do so. £160 for a new tyre after hitting a crater I didn’t see.
After starting a small claims action I collected over £500 from a county council in the east of England. A pothole had been repeatedly patched and repeatedly reported by others as a danger.
my aluminium wheel was damaged. Luckily for the council I sourced a single replacement sevond hand. New from Germany would have been a lot and delayed with consequent car hire bills.
the road has recently been tarred and gritted. The defects were not properly fixed first so after next winter the holes will reappear.
on a related topic, why do councils and their contractors believe:
water runs uphill
blocked drains prevent puddles
grass and weeds in roads and paths don’t damage tgem
You are not mistaken Aethelred.
Great piece, off the back of the rumours that Biden’s bringing back restrictions;
”If they can make you comply with a mask mandate, when you know full well that it serves absolutely no beneficial purpose, what manner of meaningful resistance do you possibly think you can offer against the wholesale theft of a country and the persecution of its rightful, twice-elected President?
They aren’t blind; they can see that they’re poking a hornet’s nest with these nakedly political, unjust prosecutions. What they really need to know right now is how far they can push the envelope. Has the program of demoralization worked? How significantly, how completely has it worked? How many people still believe that the masks do anything, versus how many are complying anyway and wearing them?
The answer to that question is going to inform just how hard they push the envelope over the next year. If they find that there is still broad compliance – particularly alongside simultaneous, widespread knowledge that they do nothing – that right there is a blinking green light to continue and accelerate the effort to break apart this country, and consign us all to a Marxist, WEF-dominated hellscape, from which there will be no peaceful escape.”

Brilliant piece!!
Morning chaps
(hope that’s not too offensive

Here’s something I found on Bloomburg, a perfect example of how human beings are going to save the planet!

Ze frensh poluceman was just pissing by!
….I never want an electric car…..but I actually thought this was quite a truthful and fair explanation for a change. You often see those same pictures without the true explanation that they were part of the Government funded car rental/share…service, that crashed…as she explains….this was happening at least four years ago to my knowledge…..
Those same pictures are usually shown with headlines saying how underhand those Chinese are, lying to the world as usual…..this time about EV’s….(I make no comment either way)…
China is still set to overtake Japan as the biggest exporter of EV’s in the world…so there is also that…..
This week I’ve read headlines saying if China’s economy crashes it will cause all economies to crash…but on the other hand the US are trying to stop them becoming the biggest economy……so if they are successful..it’s also bad for everyone!!?
Everything the elites do these day seems to be bad for everyone, Except themselves of cause!
I was just highlighting the massive waste, however and whenever it may be caused.
So sad that we can waste so much to save the world!
“‘Fat Bottomed Girls is dropped from Queen Greatest Hits collection”

We’ve come a long way since I Want to Break Free was banned by MTV & killed their US career, haven’t we – and not in a good way…
“‘My cancellation has trapped me in one of my own sitcoms’” Graham Linehand writes with true feeling about how he misses comedy since he now finds himself involved in endless campaigning. I miss comedy too. Real comedy that pokes fun at institutional whatthefookery and the new puritans with their zealous ideology, akin to the Blue Meanies in the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine turning everything grey. For any old school comedian, what has happened over the past few years should surely present the richest comedy motherlode ever. But all we get are cancellations, de-platforming and censorship. I heard that ‘they’ – you know who I mean – don’t like being ridiculed. They want US to take THEM seriously and be afraid just before they execute us with their jibbyjabs. Ridiculing them, before we arrest them all, is therefore what they deserve. They are the ones who are really afraid.
“The end of work: Which jobs will survive the AI revolution?”
Well let’s see AI hod a load of bricks up a ladder!
They’ll be ‘printing’ houses out of recycled banknotes before you can say ‘antifascisttransgendercommunitarianism’!!
Bugger me, thats a longer word than
‘Antidissastablimenterianism’
Why is it these jokers think every job in the world can be done from a desk? Who made the f-ing desk?
Indeed. Even in non-physical jobs I think we have a while to go yet. I’ve seen “AI” be useful in my line of work (software) but not even close to replacing people. To get anything useful out of it you need to ask it intelligent questions, which demands thinking skills and domain knowledge. I think it may well get used by large firms in an attempt to save money – images and text could get AI-generated instead of using humans, parsing text e.g. proof reading, checking CVs, censoring stuff, could be done in part by AI, also customer service interactions, but I think it will end up doing a bad job and service and quality will suffer unless it is used “intelligently”.
Interesting a US court has ruled the product of AU cannot be subject to copyright.
Not sure how that works in practice. We write software which is copyrighted to us. We use ChatGPT sometimes to help us, but the product is absolutely ours. Any inputs that go into ChatGPT presumably get used by the providers so probably best not use anything confidential.
Although I’m aware of the Lucy Letby case and the recent verdict, this substack author has written 8 separate newsletters which scrutinize the evidence and raise some compelling areas of concern. Was this woman really an evil, psycho baby killer?
”I in no way mean to belittle the experiences of parents involved in this case, but in the constant chest-beating, polemic attacks and emotional pleading many questions have gone unanswered. These questions include:
Why is it police have focused only on the 1/3rd of infants who died at CoCH during 2015/16 that they could, in some cases only quite tenuously, link to the sometimes inconsistently reported presence of Lucy Letby?
Where are the investigations of the other 2/3rds of neonates that died on the neonatal unit at CoCH and who doctors and police admit, did so in sometimes very similar circumstances and even in the months after Letby was removed from clinical practice?
Why was the hospital building so quickly scheduled for a complete refit and remodel, and then so rapidly moved along for complete destruction and replacement?
Why is it similar unexplained deaths continued in the months after Letby was removed from clinical practice and no longer had access to the unit?
Why is it these excess deaths only stopped after the aged consultant, Dr Gibbs, had retired and was replaced? What relationship does the fact that he was ‘one foot out the door’ for most of the period have to the entire collection of neonates who died in the unit?
Is it possible, as I have previously demonstrated, that there are other causes for these neonates deaths that remain hitherto unexplored?
Was the building’s destruction intended, as I have previously intimated, to destroy any and all evidence that the ongoing plumbing issues had resulted in colonisation of hospital wastewater (HWW) pathogens that are common causes of neonatal death in such units?
Over the next few weeks I will resume my exploration of the evidence. However, until like-minded people band together, identify and provide appeal-experienced legal support and begin the process of unravelling what I for one believe to be a gross miscarriage of justice…”
https://lawhealthandtech.substack.com/p/lucy-letby-found-guilty
Wow, that is absolute dynamite. Thanks for posting.
Actually there are various people raising concerns about the evidence presented in court and used to decide her fate, as well as evidence/data ignored. Prof Fenton, Dr Clare Craig, Joel Smalley and this scientist are among them. Lucy needs to appeal as it sounds like she hasn’t had a fair trial;
”As a concerned scientist who perceives a miscarriage of justice in the making, I attempted to communicate information not only to the defence but also to the prosecution, to the judge (via the clerk of the court), and to the Director of Public Prosecutions. That was a Kafkaesque experience which I will write about on another occasion. Personally, I tend to think that Lucy is innocent. That was however not my reason for attempting to contact the authorities. As a scientist, it was manifestly clear to me that she was not getting a fair trial. Science was being abused. I tried to communicate with the appropriate authorities. I failed to get any response. Therefore I had to “go public”.

“Net Zero bottle scheme will hit retailers with £1.8 billion a year” – The Government’s flagship bottle recycling scheme will cost companies ten times the amount that officials previously claimed, reports the Telegraph.
In the above article we find:
No. All of the cost will be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices. Probably with a mark-up. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
Of course, what this also means is that our councils/local authorities will be responsible for collecting less glass at the kerbside. So they will reduce our Council Tax…
Oh. Hold on a sec…
I believe the scheme is based on collection of their own bottles to be sent for recycling (melting down) and made into new bottles at the company’s cost?
Modern bottle washing machinery is compact, cheap and fast ,80000 bottles an hour or more! Why not pay a 10p deposit on the return of the bottle to have it washed and re-used? Surely at that rate of wash they can make a profit per bottle? and, don’t need to buy new bottles!
Arr the old days! Wasn’t all bad,was it?
collection of their own bottles
Hmm. I remember the old bottle return schemes. An R Whites lemonade bottle had a distinctive shape and so did many other brands. You only got a tanner (IIRC) back on bottles of brands that the retailer sold. You could tell that bottles had been round a few times as the bulges or ‘shoulders’ on a bottle might be scuffed and slightly chipped.
A small brewery who’s beer I approve of uses a specialist bottling factory when it has a batch ready. The only distinctive thing about their bottles (from the outside) is the label. It’s not the brewery which will be doing the bottle recycling or their retail outlets but the charge for the bottling will go up and therefore so will the cost per bottle.
True, but I still say to wash and re-use is better than re-cycle who’s ever bottle your product ends up in, just slap your label on it, it still tastes the same!
Definitely. Wash and re-use would be better.
Presumably the down-vote is for the deposit return inflation? On reflection I think the deposit return was more likely 3d or possibly a penny.
It was 5p when decimal currency came in, I used to go looking for hedgebottom bottles for a bit of pocket money
The bottle recycling scheme is being pushed as good for the environment. It is therefore a CON.
Complete BS and to be strenuously ignored.
“‘I would like to apologise to…’”
What do we make of this sketch being shown on the BBC?
My take … when the woke propagandists-in-chief broadcast a show satirising woke behaviour, they are seeking to disarm the very legitimate discomfort felt by many people in the country with their constant woke propaganda.
Morning everyone..an oldie but goodie…never forget…

It’s just a mask…..
Another day..another revelation..this is from Jikky….
https://twitter.com/Jikkyleaks/status/1692456853765316832
I have discovered something.
And you’re not going to like it.
Saponin is a transfectant and Novavax didn’t tell you.
This is the second piece of information that blows open a global #Novavax scandal.
That any plasmid DNA cannot be removed by traditional DNAase processes if a transfectant nanoparticle is present.
And if a transfectant (a chemical that helps DNA get into cells) is present…
And the plasmid that made the Novavax spike protein has not been removed…
Novavax recipients have been given a gene therapy without consent.
Assault on a massive scale.
(I don’t always know exactly what the ‘mouse army’ mean, as they can get too technical..but in this instance this is backing up Kevin McKernan’s work
about plasmid DNA being present in the vaccines when it definitely shouldn’t be…
”Kevin is telling you that the DNA (that Pfizer lied about being in the vaccines) is not able to be broken down by the usual enzymes that should degrade it.
Because it’s in the LNP that goes to every organ including the ovaries.
You knew that though, right?”
Worrying all the same…..and coming at a time when they are definitely pushing for all vaccines, and many treatments, to be mRNA (+lipid nano particle) based…!!
Well Prof Fenton will be disappointed as I know he’s a Celine fan. Seems her autoimmune condition, ‘stiff-person syndrome’ has forced her into retirement. I know it was rumoured she had the vax but I didn’t verify that. Sounds horrific actually.
”The 55-year-old My Heart Will Go On songbird is now so debilitated she hates to leave the house even briefly and has no plans to reinstate the 2023 and 2024 tour dates she canceled in May, insiders claimed.
“Celine hasn’t been photographed in public in almost 600 days — and with good reason,” an insider noted to The National Enquirer. “She has trouble walking and is at the mercy of loud noises that trigger spasms, which make her susceptible to failing. Her back has become hunched and her muscle spasms are, at times, unbearable.”
Sadly, the insider also claimed that the five-time Grammy winner’s condition is getting worse. Meanwhile, the star’s sister Claudette confides that Dion is struggling to find effective meds to treat the rare autoimmune illness, which strikes only one in a million people.
Claudette said family members are “all crossing our fingers,” and their sister Linda has moved into Dion’s Las Vegas home to help care for her. But medical experts said nothing can break the disease’s stranglehold on Dion’s body and mind.”
https://radaronline.com/p/celine-dion-stiff-person-syndrome-wont-sing-again/
Wow..was still on Jikky’s Twitter when this dropped…..
New freedom of information request this week confirms that @MFTnhs
did not perform any safety monitoring of pregnant women who were given investigational mRNA products within an undeclared and unapproved clinical trial for which the hospital received a £250,000 grant that they then suppressed the release of.
@Abridgen
raised this exact concern in February and the reply from @ztkelly
whose department was running the unapproved trial, turns out to be a lie. No monitoring was conducted.
An urgent and independent investigation of the finances funnelled to Central Manchester Hospitals, and the resulting pregnancy outcomes, needs to be conducted.
And if you were a pregnant woman in Manchester who was pressured to receive a COVID mRNA vaccine without this information being declared, you could have a valid legal case.
And the @MHRAgovuk
public assessment report site fails to declare any auditable pharmacovigilance in pregnancy.
Because none has been performed.
If the hospitals do not have this information, then the MHRA does not.

https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/which-arm-gets-the-covid-19-booster-may-make-a-difference-study-shows/#:~:text=The%20immune%20response%20may%20be,11%20in%20the%20journal%20eBioMedicine.
(CNN) – When you go to get your newly updated Covid-19 booster this fall, you might want to choose the arm the vaccine goes in carefully.
The immune response may be stronger if your booster goes in the same arm as your last Covid-19 shot, according to a study published on August 11 in the journal eBioMedicine.
It makes sense why the location of the injection would make a difference, Schaffner added. (Who was NOT involved in the study!)
The cells that provide the immune response are in local lymph nodes, he said.
If the immune cells in those lymph nodes are restimulated in the same place, there is a greater immunological response, the study said.
Although the study showed a greater immune response, researchers can’t say for sure that getting the booster in the same arm results in better or longer-lasting protection, Schaffner said.
LOL!
James Melville´s ScotSquad was a brilliant two-minute satire.
