Two thirds of submissions made to the Australian Senate’s Excess Mortality Inquiry have been suppressed and key evidence omitted from its concluding report, calling the inquiry’s integrity and findings into question.
The world-first inquiry set out to investigate why record-high numbers of Australians have died in recent years, including non-Covid deaths, at levels not seen since World War II.
On Friday, the Excess Mortality Inquiry committee handed down its report, concluding that Covid is the “key driver” of Australian excess mortality, both “directly and indirectly”.
However, it has come to light that the committee buried the majority of submissions made to the inquiry, acknowledging only 59 (31.5%) of 187 submissions received on the public inquiry page.
A review of several withheld submissions and evidence submitted during the inquiry’s public hearing reveals that key evidence raised in the inquiry process has been entirely omitted from the committee’s report.
The committee’s suppression of this evidence raises the question: Did the committee follow the evidence, or did it discard the evidence that didn’t follow its preferred narrative?
“Incredibly high” excess mortality
The Excess Mortality Inquiry was established in March of this year to identify drivers of Australia’s excess mortality from 2021-2023, and to make recommendations on how to address preventable drivers of excess mortality going forward.
Like many other Western countries throughout the pandemic years, Australia saw “incredibly high” excess mortality that could not be entirely explained by Covid, leading to calls for further Government investigation.
According to analysis by Australia’s peak actuarial body, the Actuaries Institute, excess deaths peaked in 2022 at 12%, an extra 20,200 deaths above the expected baseline. Excess mortality remained high throughout 2023 at 5%, an extra 8,400 deaths. Australian Bureau of Statisics (ABS) figures differ slightly.
Former Actuaries Institute spokesperson Karen Cutter told news.com.au that “mortality doesn’t normally vary by more than 1 to 2%”, so the excess mortality seen by Australia during the pandemic years is “way higher than normal levels”.
Committee finds: Covid did it
On Friday, the committee released its report outlining key drivers of Australia’s excess mortality. You will probably not be shocked to read the committee’s main finding:
The evidence presented to the committee overwhelmingly pointed to COVID-19 as the key contributing factor to excess mortality during 2021-2023. This included deaths both directly and indirectly caused by the virus.
In arriving at this conclusion, the committee relied mostly on submissions from the ABS, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), several other Government departments and the Actuaries Institute, which estimated that “total deaths from COVID-19 of 17,200 make up almost two-thirds of the total estimated excess mortality of 27,200” (emphasis mine).
Ironically, the actuaries note that the majority of these deaths occurred after the “vast majority of the population was vaccinated”.
The committee reported that Covid was probably indirectly driving a significant remainder of unexplained excess deaths as well, as Covid can contribute to other leading causes of death in Australia which spiked throughout 2021-2023, including cardiovascular disease, strokes, diabetes and dementia. While cancer is a leading cause of death in Australia, cancer deaths did not significantly increase during this time.
The committee acknowledged that reduced access to healthcare due to the pandemic response may have contributed to the increases seen in the above-mentioned chronic diseases.
The committee also attributed some of Australia’s excess deaths to mortality displacement, noting that Australia experienced lower than expected mortality in 2020 due to reduced circulation of respiratory diseases, delaying some expected deaths into the following years.
Suicide and mental health were discussed, but the committee referred to submissions and testimony suggesting that suicide did not have a statistical impact on excess mortality.
Definitely not the vaccines
Despite receiving “large amounts of correspondence… in relation to vaccine injuries”, the committee dedicated only a single page of its report to discussion of the potential impact of Covid vaccinations on Australia’s excess mortality.
The report quoted just a single submission, from Covid vaccine injury research and advocacy group, COVERSE:
While our organisation does not have statistical evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines have definitely contributed to excess mortality during 2021-2023, we do have evidence of widespread and significant downplaying of vaccine-caused harms, which has concerning implications for current understanding of drivers of excess mortality in Australia.
Having read several submissions to the inquiry which contain information on the inadequacies of Australia’s official record keeping, peer-reviewed data on Covid vaccine harms and evidence of deceptive conduct in the Covid vaccine trials, it is noteworthy that the committee made the editorial choice to feature only the above quote.
Another quote from COVERSE Director Rado Faletič that the committee did not include, but that was highlighted in Senator Ralph Babet’s dissenting report, gives insight into the potential scope of Covid vaccine injury in Australia:
We know, for example, that when the Australian Government’s Vaccine Claims Scheme was launched there were 10,000 people who signed up to receive information. That’s 10,000 Australians who had an adverse reaction serious enough to think they needed compensation. From our perspective and from all of the other bits of information that we’ve collected, we think that’s a lower bound. The true number of people in this country could be 10 times as many as that.
How many of these 10,000 Australians are still alive today, we do not know, because no one is tracking their progress.
The committee rejected the concerns raised by COVERSE and others about the impact of Covid vaccinations on excess mortality because:
- Official data show that the vaccines have only killed 16 Australians.
- The Actuaries Institute said that in fact, “COVID-19 vaccines have significantly reduced excess mortality” [emphasis in original].
The first claim is a revelation because until now, the media has been parroting the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA) figure of ‘only’ 14 deaths related to the vaccines. Even still, the number cited by the committee misrepresents the figures supplied to the Inquiry by the ABS. More on that in a soon-to-be-published post.
For the second claim, the Actuaries Insitute cited a single modelling study of New South Wales (NSW) data, from which the actuaries extrapolated to estimate that the Covid vaccines saved more than 50,000 lives nationally.
The study contains too many flaws to list in full. The main ones, however, are the miscategorisation of anyone within 21 days of their first dose of Covid vaccination as ‘no effective dose’; overestimation of the virus mortality risk; and failure to control for age and comorbidities, the primary determinants of Covid severity.
The committee dismissed the entirety of the submissions presenting medical, statistical and anecdotal evidence of Covid vaccine harm within the Australian population on this basis. That’s it. That’s the end of the vaccination section.
Incidentally, the committee dedicated three pages of its report to chastising Senator Babet (United Australia Party) for a single incident of inappropriately editing and disseminating a video of witness testimony from the public hearing, which apparently caused the witnesses some distress. The committee also dedicated one of its five concluding recommendations to further addressing this matter.
The disparity in attention paid to each of these issues gives a sense of where the committee’s priorities lie.
Majority of submissions buried
Two thirds of submissions made to the inquiry were reclassified by the committee as “unpublished correspondence”, effectively hiding them from public view.
In its report and on the inquiry page, the committee acknowledged only 59 submissions. However, Senator Babet’s dissenting report references a total of 187 submissions made to the Inquiry of which 130 had permission for publication.
Only 51 were published by the committee, while 79 (61%) were withheld.
I know that some of these unpublished submissions were withheld despite formal requests from the authors that their submission be made public – myself included.
Committee Chair, Senator Penny Allman-Payne (Greens) did not respond to several emails and a phone message left at her office requesting an explanation as to why the committee saw fit to withhold so many submissions.
Key evidence from unpublished submissions omitted from report
Below, a selection of the evidence submitted to the inquiry that remains unpublished, and that was not mentioned in the committee’s report.
Augusto Roux, Lawyer, Argentina
Roux’s submission presented “evidence that information about serious harms (including deaths) during Pfizer/BioNTech’s phase 3 clinical trial were [sic] deliberately withheld from government drug regulators”.
As a participant in Pfizer/BioNTech’s phase 3 clinical trial, Roux suffered “loss of consciousness, fainting, tachycardia that almost left me near death, and extremely dark urine” after his second dose of vaccination. He was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed with pericarditis with pericardial effusion and liver damage.
Roux alleges that Pfizer first tried to blame his condition on a Covid infection (which he didn’t have). Then, the Principal Ion the trial falsified records, claiming that Roux’s symptoms were caused by a mental health illness (which he didn’t and doesn’t have), alleges Roux. Roux also highlighted irregularities in the recording of deaths within the clinical trial.
Raphael Lataster, Researcher, Australia
Lataster, a former pharmacist and hospital administrator, summarised the peer-reviewed evidence, some of which he authored himself, questioning Covid vaccine safety and effectiveness and pointing to negative effectiveness.
Lataster claims that not only are the safety and effectiveness of Covid vaccines exaggerated in clinical trials and observational studies, but “There is also increasing evidence of negative effectiveness – where the vaccine appears to increase the chance of COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation, and even death”.
Lataster’s research highlights the skewed benefit-risk profile of Covid vaccination for young people. “Hundreds of thousands of young and healthy people need to be vaccinated to prevent a serious COVID-19 hospitalisation,” he said, while recent research indicates “the rate of serious adverse effects in the vaccinated is as high as 1 in 400”.
In a recently published study, Lataster found “clear, statistically significant, correlations between both COVID-19 vaccination rate and total COVID-19 vaccine doses in approximately 30 European countries with excess mortality, persisting into 2024”.
Dr. Melissan McCann, General Practitioner, Australia
Despite being personally invited to make a submission to the inquiry, Dr. McCann’s submission was reclassified by the committee as “unpublished correspondence” without explanation.
Dr. McCann submitted that Vaccine Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED) may be a key driver of Australian excess deaths. Per the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Brighton Collaboration, VAED is described as a syndrome of “disease enhancement” associated with some viral vaccines, “where those immunised suffered increased severity or death when they later encountered the virus or were found to have an increased frequency of infection”.
This is particularly relevant to Australia said Dr. McCann, where “the overwhelming majority of the population contracted COVID-19, sometimes multiple times, despite being vaccinated”.
The TGA and the Brighton Collaboration both identified VAED as an important potential risk of Covid vaccination, with the latter recommending that all cases of vaccine failure (also called ‘breakthrough infections’) be carefully investigated by authorities.
Additionally, Dr. McCann said that TGA records show that 28% of deaths reported to the DAEN in association with Covid vaccines occurred within one week of vaccination, and the majority occurred within six weeks or less from vaccination, “which is highly suggestive of likely causality based on the temporal relationship”.
The Australian Medical Professionals Society (AMPS)
The committee refused to publish the AMPS submission in full, despite AMPS jumping through hoops to reformat it to the committee’s satisfaction. Only a summary document was published to the log, hyperlinking to the full submission on the AMPS website.
The comprehensive, multi-disciplinary submission contends:
- Covid deaths account for 29% of excess mortality at most. While the actuaries and the ABS attributed all Covid deaths to excess mortality, only half of Australian Covid deaths could be considered “excess”, even considering the unusually broad WHO coding for Covid death attribution. (Chapter 4)
- Top three causes of non-Covid excess deaths in peak year of 2022:
- Deaths with abnormal symptoms and signs where the cause can’t be classified: 2,557 excess deaths (190% increase compared to five pre-pandemic years 2015-2019)
- Diseases of the nervous system: 2,066 excess deaths (28% increase)
- Diseases of the digestive system: 1,687 excess deaths (28% increase) (Chapter 4)
- Excess deaths may be 25% higher than estimated by the ABS. Alternative modelling of Australian cumulative excess deaths throughout 2021-2023 estimates approximately 40,000, as opposed to the ABS estimate of 29,601. (Chapters 5 and 6)
- Public health failures are a key driver of excess mortality. Public health policies that were harmful to health include: prolonged lockdowns, vaccine mandates, failure to address key determinants of Covid outcomes such as obesity, failure to promote proven early treatments and misinformation about ivermectin. (Chapters 1 and 2)
- Unprecedented rates of adverse event reporting associated with Covid vaccines. Detailed analysis of the TGA’s DAEN and the AusVaxSafety Programme shows that, relative to the number of doses administered, Covid vaccines are associated with unprecedented rates of adverse event reporting, including 400 new types of adverse events not previously reported over the 52-year history of the DAEN. A temporal relationship between excess deaths and the Covid vaccine rollout is observed.(Chapter 6)
- The effect of mortality displacement on excess deaths is estimated to be minimal. Mortality displacement likely accounts for no more than one tenth of excess mortality in 2022 onwards. (Chapter 5)
- Data gaps prevent rigorous analysis of the impact of vaccination on excess mortality. Linked all-cause mortality data stratified by age and vaccination status are required to make a proper assessment of the effectiveness of the Covid vaccine rollout in the Australian population. To date, no government department has released the linked data or produced its own analysis of all cause mortality by vaccination status. (Chapter 5)
Additional evidence within the AMPS submission includes:
- Evidence of an uptick in all-cause mortality with the introduction of Covid vaccines to a zero Covid community. (Chapter 5)
- Evidence that Covid vaccine injuries and deaths are under-reported in official record keeping. (Chapters 3 and 6)
- Evidence that deaths in the vaccine arm of the Pfizer trial were concealed from government regulators prior to the U.S. Emergency Use Approval (EUA) data cut-off date. (Chapter 7)
- Evidence of a 3.7-fold increase in cardiac events in vaccinated vs. placebo arm subjects in the Pfizer trial. (Chapter 7)
Excess Mortality Inquiry Recommendations
At the conclusion of the Excess Mortality Inquiry, the committee made five recommendations to the Australian Government, abridged as follows:
- The ABS should address excess mortality data gaps relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, and people in rural and regional areas.
- The Australian Government should consider the design and compensation arrangements of a no-fault compensation scheme for Commonwealth-funded vaccines in response to a future pandemic event.
- The Australian Government should establish the Australian Centre for Disease Control as soon as practicable.
- The Department of Health should review and improve its public health information communication strategies.
- The Senate should take note that witness participation in public hearings is critical to the committee inquiry process; witnesses should be treated with respect; and Senators should be reminded of the Resolution on the Broadcasting of Senate and Committee Proceedings.
It is unclear that these recommendations will make much of a difference to preventable drivers of Australia’s excess mortality, although it cannot hurt to improve data production and publication per Recommendation 1.
If the Australian CDC is comparable to the American CDC, one could reasonably argue that Recommendation 3 will have the effect of degrading Australia’s ability to respond well to future pandemics, and will likely undermine Recommendation 4.
Recommendation 5 appears to be a direct dig over an unforced error by Senator Babet, which comes across as petty given the subject matter of the inquiry.
Recommendation 2 is welcome. Where governments indemnify vaccine manufacturers, and especially where vaccines are mandated, it is essential that citizens injured by the vaccines be compensated swiftly and adequately.
The federal Covid vaccine injury claims scheme is due to end on September 30th 2024, even though Covid vaccines will still be administered for the foreseeable future. This will leave injured Australians without a safety net.
COVERSE is running a campaign encouraging Australians to contact their federal Member of Parliament to alert them to the fact that the compensation scheme is ending, and to request their support for its extension. Resources are available on the COVERSE website.
A report the committee wanted to write?
During Covid times, the pattern of these government-led inquiries has been to formally rebrand what was at the time a radical departure from scientific and policy consensus as the ‘future pandemic roadmap’ – the new normal.
In this respect, the Excess Mortality Inquiry has been no different. The record will show, effectively:
Covid was such a great threat that it caused record-high excess deaths. The extreme measures taken by our governments saved tens of thousands of lives, with negligible concomitant harms. We shall improve by further centralising our efforts and continuing to strive for equity.
The committee says that the “unpublished correspondence” that it buried “helped the committee progress its understanding of the issues it considered as part of this inquiry”.
However, in suppressing these submissions, the Excess Mortality Inquiry committee appears to have written the report it wanted to write, leaving aside any evidence that might interfere with its predetermined narrative.
A Royal Commission is probably the only option for achieving the level of inquiry and accountability that the Australian public is owed on the Covid era.

https://off-guardian.org/2023/10/09/where-were-all-the-anarchists-during-covid19/
The first above by the excellent Iain Davis.
I didn’t post these personally although I check Off-G daily because these are perhaps not the most accessible articles currently.
It is however very pleasing that Off-G is finally getting the recognition it deserves here on DS.
Much appreciated. 👍
Excellent articles.
Thanks.
Off-Guardian has been superbly consistent in producing top quality journalism throughout the last three years that and with excellent journalists / thinkers such as Kit Knightly, C J Hopkins, Iain Davis, see also UK Column News, Todd Hayen to name but a few.
Thanks. Off-Guardian “Where were the anarchists” was helpful to know that those of us who did not comply have a common quest as Paul Cudenec and his Winter Oak.org
I liked him saying that this is a difficult time in history and encouraged people to do what ever they can to help succeed seeing off this global coup for the good of the future of humanity.
And I don’t think this had to be if you are exclusively an anarchist as I am a Christian who also avoided as much as possible to not comply with the authoritarian global control.
Covid-19 didn’t work out as well as expected for the globalist set. Resistance to mRNA and CBDC’s has grown. Climate catastrophism is seen for what it is and seen as being based on dodgy modelling.
I first noticed how atrocity turns up to sort out any of the masses who’s attitude is misaligned, right on cue, back when Assad was said to have launched a chemical arrack on his own people. That, it is now known, was unlikely to have been the case. It never made sense to me tactically. It always seemed to me the only sure purpose such an event could serve were if it were a false flag event to ensure public opinion fell in line. In that respect such an atrocity works like a button on the psyche of the population.And noticing that I then noticed how frequently such attrocities turned up at opportune times for the establishment elite. My world view shifted.
But then I am also aware of how there is fundamentalist extremism built right in to the tenets of a certain major religion that is evident to anyone who cares to look. How the Koran stands to Muslims as Christ stands to Christians. How it is therefore the immutable word of god and as such presents a logical binary. To be a good Muslim, simply put have to believe the Koran is the word of god. I won’t go into the culturally regressive beliefs this then makes it necessary to believe (and that the intelligentsia in the West refuse to face up to – as do in many respects fortunately, many Muslims themselves), but, put it this way, quoting them, quoting the truth, results in an instant algorithmic comment ban in The Telegraph.
So, to be honest between my second and third paragraph, I have absolutely no idea what to make of the news last night that Hamas beheaded scores of babies and children at a Kibutz. No idea. I am left uncomfortably and dissonantly without a gut feel, clue or opinion as to what the real story is.
https://x.com/henmazzig/status/1711732906412884432?s=61&t=AY3dxo4CPswl6wmndLEhaw
I commented on this last night under the data article. I’ve a feeling this is fake news but time will tell. I posted an interesting clip from a longer film about how these tactics are as old as the hills, used in the Iraq war for instance, to garner support. I also read that there’s 60+ fake accounts on Twitter ( surely an understatement ) going around posting fake stuff so a word to the wise, take everything we read online with a massive pinch of salt at all times. The problem is, if news channels are proven to be spreading fake news all credibility for them and other news broadcasts goes out of the window. People won’t trust anything, even something that’s supposedly been ‘confirmed’.
Why did the Biden mafia leave $10 billion dollars worth of military hardware in Afghanistan?
Now we know – a free gift for the religion of peace. It worked like a dream.
IDF can’t confirm that apparently. But I thought it was the IDF who told that US reporter on the ground this information.

Complete and utter bollox as I have commented previously.
Well a return to the stone age doesn’t bode well for the globalists does it if the Hamas results are anything to go by? All we need is to knock up some bows and arrows and we’ll soon have their wagons surrounded.
…sadly I think we are watching the well rehearsed trajectory of the MSM agenda…
Obviously there has been a terrible, unconscionable attack on innocent Israelis… that is not in question..but the ‘reporting’ as we all well know, takes on a life of its own, which has little to do with the truth…
It would seem, from what I have read that this story comes from one person…an Israeli backed reporter called Nicole Zedec….who said she had been told this by ‘some soldiers’….she has since ‘walked-back’ on it saying there is no firm confirmation of either the numbers or the way they died. The Israeli commander of the area has also said there is no confirmation..even though he has also repeated the story….and of course it’s been reported everywhere anyway!!
The L.A Times has similarly also retracted it’s story about Hamas raping women, they are now saying these are ‘unconfirmed reports…’
I spent most of yesterday watching actual dead babies and children being pulled from demolished buildings in Gaza…like you and many others I am torn about what to think or how to navigate the whole thing…does a horrible tragedy give you ‘carte blanche’ to commit the same heinous acts?…..and always on innocent people?
It’s just horrible…..
….just a reminder…Julian Assange claimed that most of the wars of the last fifty years had happened because of media lies….
…..besides ‘weapons of mass destruction..
In 1999 Gerhard Schroeder alleged that the Yugoslav army was setting up “rape camps” in Kosovo. This turned out to be wholly fictional story that was made up by German intelligence.
Who can forget Nayirah, choking back tears when telling of Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators?…..all untrue….
In 2022 UN officials accused the Russian government of distributing viagra en masse in order that they could conduct a mass rape of Ukrainian women. When asked to prove this they could not of course do so.
…and the Ukrainian Ombudsman for Human Rights was fired after spreading disturbing reports about sex crimes against children, allegedly committed by Russian soldiers. So, why would the former ombudsman get fired for reporting on “evil Russian war crimes”? Well, because she admitted that the reports were entirely fabricated.
Saddam, Bin Laden, XI, Putin, Assad etc ….. all apparently, according to the
MSM, evil psychopaths….
This article seems quite ironic now, knowing it’s source, but is from back in 2001……but has anything changed…..???
The way wars are reported in the western media follows a depressingly predictable pattern: stage one, the crisis; stage two, the demonisation of the enemy’s leader; stage three, the demonisation of the enemy as individuals; and stage four, atrocities
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2001/oct/04/socialsciences.highereducation
Thank you ebygum for your intelligent, rational and balanced post and facts.
Thanks for the nice comment…..
I know it’s normal, because I feel it myself, but the knee-jerk reaction is never right….it always pays to take a breath and wonder who wants you to think that way..what is their goal?
It’s very rarely the betterment or care of ordinary people….
I just refuse to ‘hate on command’…nope, not doing it….!
Well done Gums on continuing to walk a delicate middle line when discussing this appalling situation. As well as Assange, numerous commentators have been calling out the extraordinary corruption of the MSM for years now, evidenced by the increasingly obvious distrust of it shown by the general population across the West. Why it should be believed in this situation now is beyond comprehension. Any cursory glance at UK MSM shows a level of hysterical bias and naked warmongering that defies basic concepts of humanity.
My thoughts remain with those suffering on both sides of this disastrous war.
I see CNN were caught out faking a rocket assault on Israel and the crew diving for cover. Seems they’ve got form though. Watch this. What an insult. But who in their right mind would look to CNN for any credible news anyway?
https://twitter.com/FatEmperor/status/1712027566716981307
…I have often wondered why they do these things….they only come back to bite them when they are found to be untrue..and frankly I think it makes people less likely to support whatever it is you want them to, because they see the lies and misrepresentation of events…
In the case of conflict..the horrors of it are usually very self-evident…and people are naturally horrified….…..
..so that’s why it seems like an agenda…I guess it’s like the plandemic, why do they feel you need so much coercion to believe them… if things are so ‘obviously’ bad?
I’d rather live in a majority Jewish area than a majority Muslim area. No other religion has this kind of fanaticism and obsession with world domination. And at least living in the former area I wouldn’t be worried about my daughter every time she left the house.
”The Hamas attack appears well-planned and supported by its allies in the region, especially Iran and Hezbollah, aiming to thwart possible attempts by Israeli and Saudi Arabia to normalize relations. As Israel responds, the situation won’t end well and many more civilians on both sides will suffer, especially as Hamas is known for using civilians as human shields in buildings in Gaza where they store weapons and military equipment.
While there are various political angles in this dreadful situation—including how American weakness in the region enables bad actors against its major ally—we should pay close attention to the ideology that drives Hamas.
Hamas is highly political and deeply religious. As a group, it emerged in the 1980s from the larger Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. While there is no doubt about the political aspiration of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, they both openly and explicitly tie their militant actions to the Quran and Muhammad as sources of legitimacy. This is why Hamas named the entire operation after Al-Aqsa Mosque, due to its religious esteem, to consolidate spiritual sentiment and momentum.
To Hamas, the Jews are the enemies. Why? Because the Quran and Muhammad’s statements explicitly state so. Not only is fighting Israeli soldiers commanded and commended, but attacking Jews—even noncombatants—becomes a religious commitment, since the Quran explicitly states that the “strongest in enmity” to the Muslims are “the Jews.” Notice the designation of a religious group as an enemy. This forms and fuels hatred against humans based on their religious loyalty.
For Hamas, the Islamic designation of the Jews as enemies doesn’t distinguish military commanders from civilians—all are in one basket. Whether Hamas and its militias care about Islam and its advancement is not the issue, as they clearly use its ideological claims to advance their political agenda.”
https://wng.org/opinions/hamas-and-the-ideology-of-hate-1696852140
I don’t disagree with what you are saying..but in my opinion nothing politically lives in a vacuum, or a place of ‘all right’ or ‘all wrong’…
….it’s a fact that Hamas, which started as a fringe Palestinian extremist group, was pretty much created and bolstered by Israel….
Netanyahu himself told a meeting of his Likud Party’s Knesset in March 2019…
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas…..This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”
This might not matter to us so much, sitting out of harms way, but the people of Israel will want answers as to how the actions of their Government lead to this….

Speaking of fanaticism. Now this is a man who knows all about tolerance towards others! I don’t understand how they’re allowed to do this in the open, it should surely be confined to their mosques. All it would take is somebody to state there’s only two genders and women can’t have penises and the cops would be all over them, but this is acceptable apparently.

Ship him off to Gaza where he can be with the “faithful.”
Looks like Malcolm Kendricks is back for a little bit at least. http://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2023/10/09/what-is-wrong-with-the-nhs/
Another example of an attempt to silence an alternative view on things, albeit about Statins and Cholestrerol.
The recommended link http://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2023/10/09/what-is-wrong-with-the-nhs/%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0%C2%A0  didn’t work as expected, but searching for “Statins” in the page it dropped me into came up with this article: https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/tag/nhs/ and the top of was “Although now dead, the Cholesterolosaurus will march on
”. I’m not advertising, but he is evidently a born and bred sceptic! It may well be that fashion come and go in some medical theory.
Statins are junk products and bad for health.
Good on the Poles. They know the score and they can see most of the rest of Europe has gone to the dogs because of this.
”As the debate rages both within the European Union and Poland regarding the acceptance of a surge in Muslim immigrants, Legia Warsaw fans used Sunday’s match against Raków Częstochowa to make their stance clear.
Their banner, “We don’t want Berlin, Lampedusa, or France here,” was prominently displayed in their stadium. The game in Warsaw was attended by a capacity crowd, numbering over 25,000 spectators.”

Off topic I know, but that fire at Luton Airport is shocking. Last night MSM were reporting it as started by a car (type not specified). Not this morning, it appears to be a mystery. No prizes for guessing what type of car and no prizes for knowing this info will be stifled if it was our favourite self combusting type.
A little search for records of multi story car park fires was interesting. There have been a few of them in recent years, with one of the largest being in Liverpool – similar number of written off vehicles c.f. the latest reports about Luton. They will be keen on identifying the cause, if only to work out which insurer will have to pay out.
Multi storey car park on fire at Luton Airport, all flights cancelled!
Interesting story to follow, hope all involved are ok👍
I parked there week before last and noticed that there was a separate EV parking arrow. Don’t know how it was enforced though. Shows that the parking system was beginning to be aware of the issue, probably more to do with weight than battery fire though. Makes one think twice about any multistorey car parks.
A few Israel articles above.
I stand with Israel.
A few years ago I stood on the Gaza border. My host, a 70yr old Jewish widow, resident of Ashkelon, told me she used to shower in her swim suit in case she needed to run to her shelter. She had 15 seconds to get there.
My request to you all: do all you can to support Israel at this time. Be practical, financial, prayerful.
First they came …
Can I ask you, or anyone really, due to my lack of knowledge around Middle Eastern politics, why does Egypt not allow the women and children of Gaza in so they can at least get safe haven from the conflict? If you could save innocent civilians, predominantly kids, why would you choose not to?
Why just women and children, why not men too?
Because jihadists don’t tend to go around with ”I’m a jihadist” written on their T-shirt. Women accompanying children are far less likely to be genocidal maniacs. Egypt has enough of its own problems, they don’t need to invite more of them in.
How about men accompanying children?
Given that Hamas are renowned for hiding amongst the civilians and using them as shields I think the Egyptians would be wise to be suspicious of any men, other than the elderly perhaps, trying to cross the border. Europe could do with taking a leaf out of their book. I think Egypt appears to value its national security more than many countries in the West, going by the constant influx of immigrants with no background checks we are getting.
Seems the IEA has followed the many other bodies who expand their activities far outside their remit. Presumably the economists at IEA find their proper work tedious so they prefer wallowing in gender issues.
LOL! Is this another tick for the conspiracy theorists??

A top-ranking Food and Drug Administration official, responsible for overseeing the approvals of the new vaccines now rolling out for this fall and winter’s three respiring virus threats said this month he is personally planning to space out his vaccinations over the coming weeks.
“Some people are saying, ‘Well, could I get RSV, COVID and the flu vaccine on the same day?’ Yes, indeed, you could. But honestly, I might not,” said Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.
Instead, he said he intended to get the Covid shot right away and the flu shot in early October.…….However, he acknowledged that getting up to three of the different vaccines at the same time could lead to more side effects — like stronger fatigue or a small fever — in the days after getting the shots.
Spacing out the shots by around two weeks could “minimize the chance of interactions, and minimize confusing side effects from one with another,” he said. They might be a good option for people who did not mind multiple trips to the pharmacy or their doctor’s office.”
“…could lead to more ‘confusing’ side-effects”….yeah…right…!!
I was just pointed to a thread on the ghastly mumsnet, there is no hope for these people, they are fully assimilated into the matrix.

Yes, a Darwin Award to each and every one of them.
EEK! I can’t imagine with all the information available being so blasé about my health…it must be lovely and comforting to be so dumb!!?
There are plenty on the short list over there.
““The mobs cheering Hamas on the streets of Britain have proved Suella right” – When the Home Secretary said multiculturalism had failed, she was not criticising immigrants who integrated into British society, but those who refuse to integrate and reject British values, writes Michael Deacon in the Telegraph”
Including that huge swathe of the Left born here who reject all that our society has given them. Would that they would emigrate.
“Would that they would emigrate.”
Too damned right. Preferably to somewhere like Gaza or Iran.
Just a thought about the policy of divide & conquer.
Recently the religious minded parents of the western world were uniting against the trans agenda being forced on young children. That group of parents included Christians & Muslims. Does it not strike one as strange that a divisive narrative has appeared to destroy that unity of child protection?
A good point BB.
Christine Anderson MEP was our MD4CE guest yesterday evening for an update on what’s happening in the EU. As ever she was engaging, generous & brutally honest with her responses.

Very good, and thoughtful discussion on the Dark Horse Podcast. Brett Weinstein talks to Israeli reporter Efrat Fenigson, (who has been so brilliant on her reporting on the Convid debacle)……about the last few days in Israel..
