Nothing to do with 2030 then?
No, no, no. This is just another cock up by French politicians and civil servants. And the cock up will be repeated in other countries in some form.
It’s a cock up many of us have been warning about. Not because we are clairvoyant but because it’s on the WEF website and on the C40 website.
These organisations are just really good at predicting cock ups.
Indeed. Why is it that all these ‘cockups’ only ever benefit TPTB and their nefarious agendas, and never the other way?
Yes..Hux it absolutely is…..
I’ve Just put a comment on, and if you watch the short clip..it all adds up doesn’t it?

Boots ‘runs out of Covid tests’ amid fears Pirola will ‘overwhelm NHS’”
I was wondering with the state of the NHS how many additional patients it would take to ‘overwhelm’ it. I reckon 10, maybe 12 tops…
Zero. It’s already overwhelmed.
I thought that Boots appear to have missed a trick, running out of stock! Another panic could be a useful source of revenue for them.
Anyone who thinks the NHS is still redeemable is living in La La land. Same goes for most of the institutions. Problem is that so many people are dependent on the state for their salary and private businesses and individuals don’t dare speak out against the nonsense. Too many people have been indoctrinated and believe the state knows best even though it is patently corrupt to the core. So sad that few have any moral fibre left.
“Deaths on the NHS waiting list double in five years as critics slam ‘decade of underinvestment’ in health service”
The NHS wastes money on a colossal scale. The problem isn’t under-investment, but the use of that money for everything except patient care.
“underinvestment” Lol
World’s fifth biggest employer, only behind the US military, Chinese army, Walmart and McDonald’s. Old link (2012) but I am sure still in the right ballpark.
Which is the world’s biggest employer? – BBC News
“The incessant drumbeat about the ‘new variant’ is causing the public fo panic, reports the Mail.”
I know newspapers use hyperbole but this is just utter rubbish. Not a single person I speak to or know of through others is “panicking” or in fact ever mentions covid other than very occasionally, and they are hardly a sceptical bunch.
I agree with this author entirely. Depopulation being the inevitable consequence that TPTB have in store for us;
”On August 10, the UK tabloid Daily Express warned that a new pandemic, possibly caused by a yet unknown “Disease X”, could lead to “civil unrest and food shortages” worldwide.
The world is already experiencing a surge in “civil unrest and food shortages” due to a raft of senseless global policies pushed by an unhinged West and its institutional lackeys. A new “pandemic” would conveniently mask this inevitability.
Disease X is the placeholder name for a hypothetical pandemic caused by a yet-unknown virus. The operative word here is “hypothetical”. Billions in taxpayer money will be spent on developing a vaccine for a phantom virus that has yet to emerge or evolve from an indeterminate origin.
Is it possible to preempt a disease that has yet to exist with an all-in-one-vaccine? That is exactly what the UK government is attempting at the moment. It will be justified based on the known pestilential potentials of select viruses and their hypothesised pathogenic pathways and morphologies (including their potential to cross the species barriers). To provide a veneer of scientific rigour, elements of Artificial Intelligence will be thrown into the viral potpourri. From a statistical standpoint, however, this feat would be akin to firing a bullet into the sky and expecting it to take down a drone, an aircraft or a flying saucer on the very first attempt.”

From time to time I take a look at Mathew Crawford’s substack, though he can be difficult to follow (a lot of jargon) at times. He’s good on taking deep dives into some of the questions about how we’re being manipulated, the so-called viruses, pandemics, controlled opposition and/or chaos agents eg Malone, etc. For some unknown reason (Firefox?) I can’t copy and paste on this laptop but easy to find “roundingtheearth.substack”. NB Mathew has only one ‘t’.
Dr Maavak sums up just what many of us on here have been talking about. Their so-called reset is all about Depopulation and nothing more.
Igor looking at the latest study which provides further proof that when you get vaxxed you really do become a walking spike protein-producing factory, possibly indefinitely. Now what are the ramifications of that?
”An item of note is the above sentence, “It is possible that the mRNA may be integrated or re-transcribed in some cells.” The so-called reverse transcription, that is, vaccine mRNA becoming part of the human DNA genome in some affected cells, was originally dismissed without evidence by the so-called “COVID science,” until it was demonstrated in in-vitro experiments.
If so, a disturbing possibility exists that COVID spike protein production never ends. To illustrate that, the HIV virus, which causes AIDS, also reverse transcribes and integrates itself into human DNA so that the sufferers’ reprogrammed cells endlessly produce copies of HIV. This is why HIV cannot be cured, only suppressed by drugs.
Similarly, human cells with COVID vaccine genetic code reverse-transcribed into them may also endlessly produce the spike protein for the affected individuals’ lives.”
https://www.igor-chudov.com/p/half-of-vaccinated-people-never-stop
This is the problem with the mRNA transfection technology that a number of people have warned about, including JJ Couey on Gigaohmbiological. Coupled with the fact that the shot damages our innate immune system it’s was always a dangerous experiment. Unsure about the AIDS parallel as HIV has never been proven to cause it. (I’m sceptical about the underlying science of virology.)
“France calls for an end to cheap flights in Europe” – France wants to scrap €10 airfares, and establish minimum ticket prices within the EU as part of a strategy to reduce air travel and curb emissions, reports the Telegraph.
There’s a clue here: If, despite hikes in fuel costs it’s still cheaper to fly than go by train, then it must be more efficient*.
Of course, the economics can be skewed by government (ie EU) mandated taxes – which just goes to highlight that the people should be able to change their government if they want to. Good luck with changing the composition of the Commission guys.
*A long while ago, some of my work colleagues doing a ‘tour’ of our US offices used to fly from Washington DC to NYC. It never occurred to many journey planners to check the trains. I discovered that I could go almost office door to office door by train for about the same price as budget plane fare plus taxis – but considerably quicker.
Historically (about 40 years ago), a fair number of domestic flights in France came to an end after the new high speed lines came into service (such as the Lignes à Grande Vitesse (LGV) along with the TGV services).
Good point. So ‘France’ (no,not the whole of it, just Clément Beaune) wants to scrap cheap flights because they compete with France’s investment in fast rail… and ‘screw you guys who have not yet built yours’.
French railways (the building and operating thereof) are state owned AND require taxpayer subsidies AND are expensive
‘The French obsession with railways forgets that the objective is not to run trains, but to move people’ (lemonde.fr)
“Boots ‘runs out of Covid tests’ amid fears Pirola will ‘overwhelm NHS”
Looks like the sheeple of the uk are lining up at the gate again ready to be dipped!
Fecking dumb ar$es!
….yep…the sheep will sheep I suppose…
…but having read the article, a spokesperson from Boots says, ‘they are fully stocked in store and on-line and there are no supply problems”….
Presumably the one shopper in Shepherds Bush they mention who couldn’t find one in her local Boots was just unlucky…LOL…!!
Even funnier, to me any way was this…”Dr Trisha Greenhalgh, an internationally-renowned expert in primary care, based at the University of Oxford, also suggested everyone should be made eligible for a jab.”
As far as I’m concerned the only thing she’s famous for is being wrong about everything, and being a total idiotic mask harridan…I wouldn’t take advice off her for my dog!!?
I think this probably feeds into the ‘Paris calls for suspension of cheap flights’ as well…
….Because there is so much going on all over the world, it’s easy to forget that these are not individual or single or even specific country decisions..these are all a part of the Global UN Agenda 2030..they are globalist in nature, and have been planned for some time.
I know we have talked about the C40 cities in relation to London and ULEZ..(Both London and Paris are C40 Cities of course!!)
…this is a recent episode of Bannon’s War Room, and the first story is worth a watch..it’s from an American reporter and is about C40 cities…she makes some good points….

The mRNA Covid jabs damage immune responses to other viruses in children, a new study finds” ATL…
Alex Berenson has a short article on it…
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/very-urgent-the-mrna-covid-jabs-damage
this was the reaction of one physician…..”My read on this paper is that it [mRNA vaccination] may in fact cause not just a short-term vulnerability to bacterial and viral infection in children, but it might cause a long-term immune deficiency,” one physician emailed, adding that he worried public health authorities will simply ignore the paper.
“Just see how the authors sidestep their own findings,” the physician wrote. “The authors won’t even bluntly state that it appears that the mRNA shot caused a persistent immune deficiency in children. Their conclusion is it “alters” the cytokine response. This is the amount of courage in medicine.”
…and yet we have got the ‘usual suspects’ also telling ‘everyone’ to get the new and completely untested quacksine….how on earth do these things add up!!
I guess I watch too much of the Highwire as none of this is new to me. Not just the mRNA based injections but all childhood vaccines seem to run the risk of damaging children’s natural immunity and increase all cause mortality even if they may have some positive impact on a specific disease. Of course, few studies have been carried out but Danish academic Christine Stabell Benn has spoken out about this
Yes..I’m a fan of the Highwire, and have been for some time..also RFK has been banging on about it for years….

Queensland has ended the COVID injection mandate on health workers: –
https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/queensland-government-scraps-covid-19-vaccine-mandate-for-health-workers-c-11767398
A bit damned late. Or we could even conclude that the authorities have decided that they cannot do any more damage.
I heard that the air traffic chaos over the past week was caused by badly formatted data being uploaded by a french airline. This surely raises two important questions whih the travelling public are entitled to know about:
1 why were the data validation processes at NATS not able to detect dad data formats and reject the data, Whether batch uploaded or real time, their systems should do this. Fundamental.
2 presumably all airlines affected and thei passengers are entitled to massive compensation from NATS and it should be able to subrogate against the french airline. If not why not.
In almopst all cases these issues should be internalised and private compensation claims should be admitted into court.
Why has the CEO and COO of NATS not resigned nor been fired? Well??
