It is March 1st, and the annual return of St David’s Day, the national Day of Wales.
One man who may not be breaking out the daffodils to celebrate is Rashaad Thomas, a black American “freelance author and poet” commissioned by the Arizona Republic newspaper to pen a stereotypically victimhood-drenched op-ed article back in 2019, in which he complained about going into a local restaurant and seeing a photo of some white men wearing blackface hanging on the wall. That the photograph showed a group of Welsh coal-miners from Cwmbach in 1910, and that their ‘blackface’ was actually ingrained workplace coaldust, mattered not to Rashaad.

I have recently apologised to my cat.
😁
Your cat clearly does not accept your apology.
May I remind people of ‘Nutty George’? Bob Newhart’s cat.
‘…so we had him fixed. And boy do I mean FIXED!’
‘…and now he just sits on top of the television and stares at us… I’m sorry George!’
My wife has an LP of Bob Newhart I believe. My favourite of his is Nutty Walt where he is talking to Walter Raleigh about tobacco.
An LP? ———-Young people under 40 won’t know what that is. —-I still have all my old vinyl going way back to the late 60’s. —-I was recently in an HMV store and I noticed they are once again selling vinyl records. It has become trendy.
—- I arrived at the counter with a few CD’s. The young lady behind the counter paid no attention to me until I noticed two Frank Zappa LP’s on the counter and I said to the assistant “I still have my original copies of those from the 60’s”———Suddenly she was impressed, and it was me who was the cool one.
Great sketch! I also love the Driving Instructor.
And we have repeatedly been told that an apology wipes the slate clean, when made by a guilty or incompetent politician.
The lady below is practicing ‘safe’ cycling, in a busy urban area. With her superior knowledge she puts pretending to avoid catching a respiratory virus above protecting her brain from blunt force impacts, therefore no helmet is required. There were other photos
And another – perhaps my favourite. Notice the gentleman behind and to the right.
How much were they paid?
I sat and watched Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind the other night.
As Richard Dreyfus is sitting masked, in a helicopter with other captives, he looks over at Melinda Dillon, they both nod, and remove them.
The establishment promotes the scare story about anthrax to control public access and freedom, instill fear.
This was the 1970s.
Sound familiar?
It wasn’t a “terrible decision” – it was deeply evil. They knew very well there was no risk to young people and no possible reason to “vaccinate” them for any other medical/public health reason. It was entirely political. Didn’t the MHRA and the German equivalent even decide against it but were overruled by the politicians and their pet “scientists” (or was it by the “scientists” and their pet politicians?).
Evil is now synonymous with Government. Where there is the one, there will be the other.
We need an exorcism.
We need to end the indoctrinated cult belief in the legitimacy and in the utility of ‘the state’. Nothing will change until we learn how live in freedom, in a stateless society.
A check out girl at my local Coop store told me at the time ( most never wore masks) that she would not allow herself nor her children to be jabbed explaining that she simply didn’t trust the government and smelt a rat. Why is it that it was mostly people who consider themselves to be intelligent or of the professional and managerial class that swallowed the whole state sponsored scam? Full marks to the blacks and Asians who were as a group far less likely to take up the jab.
I think the “intelligent, professional and managerial class” are often in roles and situations where compliance with norms gets you ahead or keeps you your job. As someone here pointed out, intelligence and wisdom are different things and do not overlap.
Yup. I spent half a day recently with my Guardian-reading brother who, even though he grow up in the same working class family, in the same sh*te area that I grew up in, has elevated himself to the role of an intellectual and moral authority. It was quite the insight. This idiot believes there were no nudges during Covid/lockdown, but, if there were, then they were justified because “everyone needed to be vaccinated”. Believes there is no problem with the rabid promotion of non-heterosexuality. Believes two men can love and nurture a balanced child in exactly the same way as a mother and father could. Believes that the increase in children identifying as not heterosexual is wholly organic, whilst at the same time explaining that there has been no statistical increase in children identifying as not heterosexual. In one of many contradictions, he stated that “people need nudging for their own good”. He sees no coordination at a state or global level. Believes the earth is going to crisp up and die in a few years time without the help of him and his superior ilk. God, the list goes on. These people actually believe what they say and believe that they are doing good in the world. Absolutely deranged. Needless to say it’ll be another few years before we bother speaking again.
I sympathise: one of my sisters is rabid Lefty Labour supporter who refuses to admit she voted for Blair.
My brother is also an absolute retard with a Guardian shoved up his back side.
The key word is “believes”——–He believes this and he believes that. —–Believing things, especially if they are not true gets you into a whole lot of bother. Believing things is religion. Your brother is just another one of those who don’t believe in god anymore so they replace that with the climate religion and the Liberal Progressive religion.
The odds are that most of us will have quite a few close friends and family members who think like this. It’s sad. Some you may be able to bear not speaking to, others, one of your children for example, I think is tougher.
Similar, except mine reads The Times and watches the BBC. A hypocritical, holier-than-thou, LibDem-voting, eco-nutter who thought she had the right to decide for me whether to participate in a mass medical experiment ….. and would refuse to see me if I didn’t.
I said “fine, see you around sometime. Have a nice life” and put the phone down. Three weeks later a very elderly relative died (not of Covid) and she got in touch so we could jointly administer her Estate because otherwise she’d have had to do it on her own 🙂
Could your Bro be Kier Starmer 🤔
Must have been a fun meeting.
Indeed, it’s certainly been a tough 4 years, which has sorted the wheat from the chaff.. It won’t be a few years for me, it will be never, family and decades old friends, never shall I be ridiculed by them again.
Good riddance
Yeah, it’s tough mate. I’ve also got some of my own blood that think I’m as mad as a hatter… as I think they are. We deal with the divide by just not taking about it, which I think is at least respectful. Perhaps it’s batshit crazy, but it allows me to forgive them and my life would be less without them in it. It’s very, very, f*ckin hard though. I’ll meet very occasionally with this one brother because, although it’s a battle of values (and common sense), I’m happy to engage the w”nk, virtuous, arguments that I know he bullies my parents with. Someone needs to stand up to the idiot – that’s how I see it anyway.
I absolutely feel your pain though pal; people are just such a massive disappointment.
Yes. The biggest shock was just how pathetic the vast majority are and how authoritarian and cruel those in any form of control can be.
That was a sad shock to me, but it wasn’t a shock to those demonic bastards who planed this whole event, they knew exactly what could be done, how to do it, the effect it would have and the harm it would cause.
But Toby would deny that.
same here ,although was very pleased to hear maybe twice ‘ you were right’. but unfortunately not from any of the friends and family who ostracized me.i hope some day they will apologize but hasn’t happened yet!
sadly they are too far gone and brainwashed
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle and cannot, so far as I understand it, ever heal or be reversed. Is a lifetime of potential heart issues not the biggest cost of this Evil? I do not call it Evil lightly, it is demonstrably Evil to knowingly cause lifelong heart problems in children who were at no risk whatsoever.
Mike Yeadon, before the Death Jabs had been produced, listed 22 side effects and Myocarditis was one. Whitty et al cannot possibly have been ignorant of these facts: they were widely reported as known symptoms amongst adults.
That is also my understanding – the heart does, once damaged, will never fully heal.
It is evil that we are dealing with and I think it exists in two forms: 1) direct malevolence 2) corruption of minds and morals. As I’ve said before, I’m not a religious person but I’ve come to believe we are dealing with an evil force. And I know, without any doubt whatsoever, the evil force won’t be stopped by politely asking it to be a little less evil.
Had it remained voluntary, and the risks been openly aired I would be less angry.
The evidence-free claims used to gaslight, compel and cajole the population are why I remain angry.
To those who claim nobody was coerced, observe the actual sacking of care home workers and the threatened sacking of healthcare workers. Hats off to the consultant who argued down Savij Jabber otherwise they would have escalated.
I’m now proudly ‘anti-vax’ and definitely ‘anti-pharma’ – not because I know the other vaxes/medicines are unsafe, but because I’ve seen the regulatory system at work. Witnessing their shenanigans has destroyed any trust I once had.
Yes, my suspicion antennae are constantly buzzing and on the alert for incoming nudges. They have been further educated by reading “Free Your Mind” by Laura Dodsworth and Patrick Fagan, subtitled ‘The New World of Manipulation and How to Resist It.’. On a much lowlier plane, I remember the words of one of my old English teachers who had a selection of sayings to keep noisy classes in order:”Eyes and ears open, mouths shut.” However I think that nowadays, mouths also need to be open as required to speak up for the unwelcome facts which refuse to be kept under the carpet.
What will remain unknown is the subsequent number of other bad outcomes which may have been caused by the “vaccinations” but will never be traced back to them.
Is anyone going to be charged with thsi Crime against our Children? The Cockroaches in The Political & MSM systems?
the vaccination of children
Would it be possible to find another term for the frankenjabs? Vaccines they are not.
How about:
clot shots
jibby jabbies
convid stabbies
I am sure people can come up with some others
‘The decision of Whitty and Co. to approve the vaccine rollout to children led to no discernable benefit to the children involved or society at large… I think Whitty should be required to justify himself.’
At the time of his wicked decision to jab children, it was publicly known that the covid jab did not prevent infection and spread. Pfizer had known it from the start: but, having to ‘go at the speed of science’, had kept it quiet.
It was also publicly known that children were at no risk from covid.
Therefore, since no medical intervention can ever have zero adverse consequences, why were children jabbed?
I say again WHY WERE CHILDREN JABBED?
Colleagues of Whitty are minuted as having said that people needed to have their ‘sense of personal threat increased’. Whitty might ponder those words If it comes to light that inducements from Gates et al were a factor in his decision to jab children.
“Chris Whitty should hang
hisheadinshame“I wondered if anyone would say it. Drat! beat me.
& me
Hell will freeze over before the Establishment will allow Whitty to “account for himself.”
If one hangs, they all hang.
What an excellent plan, when will it be implemented?
Hang his head in shame ! More like – It’s a Shame he’s not Hanging by his Head !! Chunt !!
Whitty, like valance, like Ferguson etc is one of those who are protected by the elite club, the same sort of people who protected and defended Jimmy Saville and Huw Edwards, there is a corrupt, cadre in the establishment who have a very different view of the world, and what we the people and our children are useful for, note the progressive education being indoctrinated in our schools, note the removal of the Parent from the bringing up of their own children, the pushing of gender drugs on children, the erasure in the NHS of the biological female, the mother and of course the Father. The pushing of Adult Trans and Adult preferential Adult behaviours which are being normalised through story hours etc.
Note the gas lighting of those who have lost their tempers due to the legal preference of a non native group of people who can riot, groom and kill with impunity, who can hate crime jews, but when concerned people protest against the murder of children, the latter are the bad people, the ones who must be punished.
There is a club, it is dare I say it a Godless, Satanic group, and they believe Children are to be used for experimentation and pleasure, they view us as nothing more than scum and our children as the same, and that is why Whitty et al can do what they want and when they want to us because they despise us. That is my opinion any way.
This is a very interesting article. When the vaccine was rolled out I was concerned that it might kick off a condition I had some years ago (that had lapsed, but not totally). I asked to speak with a GP, but was called by someone connected with vaccine rollout. I explained my concern to them, and was told – ‘take the vaccine, you could die if you don’t’. I persisted in asking about the vaccine re. my condition and was eventually told – ‘it is an emergency, we do not know if it will have an effect’. I thanked the person for their honesty (!!) and then called my private consultant, who said the same thing – ‘we simply do not know as it is an emergency’ – although he did not urge me to take the vaccine, saying ‘ it is up to you’. I decided there and then to not take it as I felt I was being forced to take something I, and those forcing it upon me, knew little about. I cought Covid a year later and was ill for a week. Meanwhile of those I know who took the vaccine: all have caught Covid at least once since taking the vaccine; one now has a life-long heart issue; another breathing difficulties; another had a heart attack; another has heart arrhythmia and is on medication forever as such. Those conditions may be a coincidence, and not a result of the vaccine, although of those I know not vaccinated, their health has not changed seriously vs 2020.
Well done. I did not use it at all, and to be fair to the GP surgery I’m on the list of, they did not try to push it after I declined following the unwanted post from the national organisation promoting it in early 2021.
I don’t know for sure if I ever became infected by SARS-Cov-2 or not. I did have something last year that could have been, based on an online survey that my dentist’s place wants us to do before tuning up, and the list of symptoms on their page complied with it – but outside the dates to answer yes, so I said no to the whole lot.
Denis Rancourt and colleagues recently published this 500 page paper on the so-called pandemic: https://correlation-canada.org/covid-excess-mortality-125-countries/.
The title is Spatiotemporal variation of excess all-cause mortality in the world (125 countries) during the Covid period 2020-2023 regarding socio-economic factors and public-health and medical interventions and is the latest in a series of papers where Denis Rancourt analyses all-cause mortality figures in great depth to prove, quite simply, there never was a pandemic.
I have copied out some key points from the paper’s summary below:
We studied all-cause mortality in 125 countries with available all-cause mortality data by time (week or month), starting several years prior to the declared pandemic, and for up to and more than three years of the Covid period (2020-2023). The studied countries are on six continents and comprise approximately 35 % of the global population (2.70 billion of 7.76 billion, in 2019).
Our calculated excess mortality rate (0.392 ± 0.002 %) corresponds to 30.9 ± 0.2 million excess deaths projected to have occurred globally for the 3-year period 2020-2022, from all causes of excess mortality during this period.
We also calculate the population-wide risk of death per injection (vDFR) by dose number (1st dose, 2nd dose, boosters) (actually, by time period), and by age (in a subset of European countries). Using the median value of all-ages vDFR for 2021-2022 for the 78 countries with sufficient data gives an estimated projected global all-ages excess mortality associated with the COVID-19 vaccine rollouts up to 30 December 2022: 16.9 million COVID-19-vaccine-associated deaths.
Large differences in excess all-cause mortality rate (by population) and in age-and-health-status-adjusted (P-score) mortality are incompatible with a viral pandemic spread hypothesis and are strongly associated with the combination (product) of share of population that is elderly (60+ years) and share of population living in poverty.
In other words, an estimated 31 million people died as a result of this bogus pandemic, of which 17 million died from the so-called Covid vaccines.
The conclusion of the paper is very short:
We are compelled to state that the public health establishment and its agents fundamentally caused all the excess mortality in the Covid period, via assaults on populations, harmful medical interventions and COVID-19 vaccine rollouts.
We conclude that nothing special would have occurred in terms of mortality had a pandemic not been declared and had the declaration not been acted upon.
I would like to know how they identified a “covid related hospital admission” or a “coco’s related visit to A and E” . I have a horrible suspicion it might be a hospital admission or A and E visit, accompanied by a positive PCR test.
It is pretty clear to me that the covid vaccines actually simply don’t work, regardless of discussions on their safety.
Yes of course Whitty should be justifying himself, probably in a court of law, but the underlying question is where the pressure came from for him to override the JCVI. Remember he also reverse ferreted on masks, and lockdowns.
The truth of the covid disaster is so murky that the authorities will probably bury it permanently.
Your conclusion in your last sentence is regrettably almost assured; it would be like the accused murderer conducting the case for the prosecution, leaping into the jury box, and then declaring himself guilty.
“The decision of Whitty and Co. to approve the vaccine rollout to children led to no discernable benefit to the children involved or society at large.”
So why were children vaccinated? Why was anyone vaccinated against the collection of common respiratory symptoms called ‘Covid’?
In June 2020, a House of Lords committee meeting considering the science of COVID-19 was told “children may have to be immunised to protect their grandparents”, see this article by Sarah Boseley, then Health editor with The Guardian: Covid-19 may not work for at risk older people, say scientists.
Sarah Boseley’s article notes Covid-19 ‘vaccines’ “may not work well in older people who are most at risk of becoming seriously ill and dying from the disease”.
So why was a vaccine solution ever proposed if it was unlikely to be successful in the vulnerable group?
During the Lords’ meeting, Peter Openshaw of Imperial College, said: “Sometimes it is possible to protect a vulnerable group by targeting another group. This is being done with influenza, for example. Over the past few years, the UK has been at the forefront of rolling out the live attenuated vaccine for children, because children amplify the distribution of the virus in the community. It is possible to see that grandparents are being protected by the vaccination of children that are in school using this very benign, nasally delivered vaccine that causes good protection in the nose and respiratory tract. Even though children themselves do not always suffer from severe flu, that is a very simple non-injectable form of vaccine that causes wider protection in the community. So you can get indirect protection using that type of community-based approach to limit the spread.” (My emphasis.)
It’s astonishing that children are being regularly administered nasal sprays against flu to purportedly protect their grandparents!
And the plan was to inject children with Covid-19 ‘leaky vaccines’, again purportedly for the benefit of the elderly.
How can this medical interference with entire populations of children, who themselves are not at serious risk with Covid-19 or flu, be ethically justifiable?
I raised this matter in my BMJ rapid response, published in August 2020, see: Is it ethical to vaccinate children to protect the elderly?
There’s a massive scandal to expose with all this unnecessary vaccination exploiting the people. For more background re the vaccination of children, see my email challenging Peter Openshaw and Arne Akbar, sent in September 2022: Is it ethical to vaccinate the young to purportedly protect the old?
A fictional scenario in which it is justified to vaccinate, even force vaccinate, a child to protect other people is easily constructed. Suppose a child is identified as sole carrier of a lethal virus such as Ebola. Suppose you have a vaccine that is sterilising and 100% effective. No harm would come to the child and a lethal public danger would be quashed. So, you’re PM, and you hold back. Justify your decision.
You can live in your obfuscatory fairytale…
Meanwhile, in the real world, millions of children have been injected against a disease that was of no threat to them.
Parents were misled into this medical intervention for their children.
There is no valid consent.
I question whether the people behind this are guilty of, at the very least, misfeasance in public office.
In this regard, see my paper Misfeasance in Public Office? The Destruction of Voluntary Informed Consent for Vaccination: https://vaccinationispolitical.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/misfeasance-in-public-office-the-destruction-of-voluntary-informed-consent-for-vaccination.pdf
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/covid19deathsandautopsiesfeb2020todec2021
TWO under the age of 14 died FROM Covid, in the months from Feb 2020 to Dec 2021. 21 months.
The jab is far more dangerous than Covid for kids. Why? Their ACE-2 receptors, which the spike protein uses to get entry to cells, are not developed. Those two that did die will have had serious comorbidities.
Whitty is guilty of endangering children
“The top chart shows that after 20 weeks just as many vaccinated as unvaccinated adolescents had tested positive for Covid. Vaccination did nothing to prevent infection.”
Why are we still quoting these spurious tests when they are known to all and sundry as fraudulent? The “testing” proved nothing so we don’t know how many of those children had something called Covid it might well have been a cold or flu or any of the other many many respiratory infections there might have been floating about.
Still I suppose if we go along with this nonsense it does knock a rather large hole in the efficacy department.
I stood outside every secondary school in my town handing ‘better to wait’ leaflets to the students and parents. I handed thousands of leaflets to young people, many very receptive and concerned themselves by the way. I really should have marched up and down every street in the land banging a big drum to try in desperation to wake everyone up. Everyone would have thought I was mad but madness is to have not done it.
Well done for at least trying.
“The good news is that there were zero Covid deaths in any of the groups studied. No unvaccinated kids died of Covid nor did any vaccinated kids.”
This, of course, refers to just the study. However, this does not mean that NO vaccinated adolescent died of the vaccine – because they did – I know of one case in my (rural) area and have heard of others.
No deaths appear in this study because it seeks to match vaccinated children with unvaccinated children. If a child has already died then they cannot be included in either group.
I cannot but wonder if this was a deliberate slight of hand or not.
Whitty not only went against JCVI advice but also went contrary to common sense. He and the other so-called CSO’s should be brought to account, not simply be given a knighthood and pretend they are the experts.
Very good article
Thank you for continuing to highlight the bullshit we experienced from 2020 to 202x. None of my kids are vaxd, and exactly for the reasons you state. Nor is my wife. I am though, because I am “vulnerable”. That led to myocarditis and a pacemaker that cost me £10k thanks to the NHS being a covid only service at the time of pre and post poisoning. My cardiologist actually confirmed I had had myocarditis, hence the need for a pacemaker. He then confirmed similar cases are up tenfold since 2021. Hmmmmm. Sherlock – we need you…oh wait.
