Sign the World Freedom Declaration – Oppose IHR amendments
https://off-guardian.org/2022/05/21/sign-the-world-freedom-declaration-oppose-ihr-amendments/
The Health Freedom Defense Fund – a US-based non-profit – has published an open declaration opposing the planned amendments to the International Health Regulations.
Kit broke down the proposed changes in detail in yesterday’s article. Suffice to say, they amount to a massive threat to both individual liberty and national sovereignty.
You can read the full text of the HFDF declaration here, or a (slightly) abridged version below.
The declaration has already been signed by almost 30,000 people, including Robert Kennedy Jr, Dr Sucharit Bhakdi and Naomi Wolf.
To see the full list of signatories, and add your own signature you can click here.

Declaration of Opposition to the Proposed International Health Regulations Amendments
We, the undersigned, oppose the proposed amendments to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) existing 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR) and stand in support of all people’s right to health sovereignty and self-determination.
The United States’ proposed amendments to the IHR are set to be considered at the 75th World Health Assembly, which begins on the 22nd of May, 2022. The proposed amendments, however, create an ambiguity relating to the date they become effective as the proposed amendments expressly state they will become effective six months after the date of notification by the Director-General, whereas the existing IHR provides that amendments become effective 18 months after notification by the Director-General.
If accepted, these legally binding amendments would come into effect for all member states except those that explicitly reject them. Under Article 59 of the IHR, de facto approval is assumed for any member states that fail to reject or take reservation to the amendments.
The existing IHR, adopted in 2005, respect the sovereignty of all member nations. The proposed amendments, however, would expand and codify the WHO’s authority to implement global health mandates in direct violation of national sovereignty and citizens’ rights.
These proposals attempt to eliminate a nation’s autonomy, during times of real, assumed or anticipated public health emergencies, affording the WHO unilateral power in assessing and determining a health emergency and empowering the WHO to dictate policy and response.
All of this comes on the heels of the COVID-19 crisis during which the WHO grossly mismanaged all facets of the global health response by encouraging economy-destroying lockdowns, suppressing early preventive treatments and recommending interventions that have proven to be neither safe nor effective.
Under the guise of health regulations, these amendments would permit the WHO to seize executive governance powers over member states, granting governing powers to unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats.
In sum, the IHR amendments would, among other changes:
By repeatedly promoting policies that caused catastrophic economic, social, physical, emotional and mental damage across the globe, the WHO has failed in its mission as global steward of public health and cannot be entrusted with setting policy for all citizens of the world.
Of note, the WHO enjoys immunity from every form of legal action, arrest, and searches of their papers, documents, and facilities.
The WHO should not be allocated more money, power, or authority nor should it be allowed to further control the world’s health agenda or implement biosecurity measures.
Global agreements brokered by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats must never be permitted to rule any nation.
It is imperative that each nation and territory retain its sovereignty, especially during times of crisis, so that the entire global community can be protected from globally directed policies that primarily benefit powerful financial and ideological stakeholders.
The undersigned respectfully request that all nations and their representatives repudiate such agreements.
….
We strongly oppose the proposed IHR amendments which would require nations and their citizens to adhere to the dictates of an unaccountable global body.
We oppose any involvement in a treaty, agreement, or other legally binding global document that would hinder any nation’s sovereignty in the area of public health.
We assert that nations and their citizens are best-positioned and -equipped to make health decisions appropriate to their communities.
We demand that the people of each nation be in charge of determining their response to health crises.
As citizens of the world, we defend the rights, freedoms, and privacy of all members of the global community by calling for the rejection of the IHR amendments and the WHO’s attempt to usurp the power and authority of health policy from its rightful place – at home amongst the people.
On May 18, 2022, this declaration was authored and signed by,
Leslie Manookian
Health Freedom Defense Fund
To anyone not familiar with this, these proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations are currently flying under the radar because of the Pandemic Treaty controversy – probably an intentional distraction.
The IHR amendments formalise the right of the WHO to have unilateral authority for ANY health emergency. They are the foundation stone for any later more specific or targeted measures such as the Pandemic Treaty. And these amendments are being discussed at the World Health Assembly this week. If they are subsequently voted through, implementation can be as soon as within 6 months. The effect is that even without a Pandemic Treaty in place the WHO will have the authority to instruct countries on how to handle any health emergency including a pandemic. They can also impose control measures in anticipation of an emergency situation.
The Health Freedom Defense Fund are opposing the amendments and anyone can add their signature to their declaration as per the above transcription of the OffGuardian article.

Goooood morning DS!
And they’re off…
Good morning, hp!
After a night spent discussing the Australian election results with Australian family members and friends, and some American friends online who are fascinated by our electoral sports, I’ve just read “Australia Goes Deep Green: Federal Election 2022”.
A few early observations:
The results from Western Australia (where the polls close two hours later) made it clear that Albanese would be PM (note to Alex Christoforou and others, the ending of the name is pronounced “easy”).
WA still hasn’t forgiven the state Liberals for managing to get this immensely mineral-rich state into debt during a mining boom. Labor Premier McGowan managed to fix this and produce a $500 million surplus. There’s the secret of his support; not his Covid policies.
They are also more annoyed than the rest of the country by policies which seem to irritate China to no good purpose. WA produces half of Australia’s exports, and 55% of its trade is with China.
The newly-elected Independents replacing Liberals in what used to be safe Liberal electorates are not only climate-change crusaders, they are women.
The Liberals at federal level have become notorious for boof-head policies towards professional women. Back in 2013, when they came to power, PM Abbott had only one woman in his Cabinet (the very capable Julie Bishop), preferring the company of some pretty incompetent men.
Bishop retired from politics after a leadership vote in 2018. Despite having the highest national approval ratings of the candidates, she received only 11 votes from her party colleagues, who massively preferred Morrison and Peter Dutton (the latter is regarded as an archetypal boofhead).
She moved to the backbench, then retired from politics – as a significant number of Liberal women (by no means wilting flowers) made specific allegations about the party’s internal culture. The first signs of a reckoning for this came in the 2019 election, but the Libs ignored them.
Albo is not personally hated, and he has a reputation as a good negotiator. He may be able to work out deals with a large, rambunctious cross-bench. But the Australian coal industry is indeed in serious trouble; and our energy policies might well be hold to ransom by the newly-elected enthusiasts.
We don’t yet know the composition of the Senate – and that could be fascinating. That’s where minor parties make their impact. Whatever comes from the House of Reps has to pass through it.
Interesting info thanks.
“our energy policies might well be hold to ransom by the newly-elected enthusiasts.”
Not exactly a great time to have climate panickers imposing their idiocies on your energy policies. We’ve had our own climate idiot, Johnson, doing that here for a few years already, and the only good thing about that is that people seem to be starting to see through it.
We’ll be selling coal to China and buying their solar panels. Deal of a lifetime, eh!
If Albo wants to be re-elected, he will have to do something about our manufacturing industries (yes – what manufacturing industries?).
He’s made noises about this before; but if he wants to sell renewable energy to the Labor heartland (primary vote down to just over 30%), he’ll have to do something about renewable jobs.
I don’t think Albo is a true believer on this, but he can read the political winds.
Australians get twitchy during the summers, when they’re eager to blame someone for the heat and the fires and the Greens are eager to point the finger.
But if energy prices seriously threaten middle-class living standards, things could move in another direction very quickly.
It’s significant that the electorates returning the climate-change crusaders are amongst the most affluent in Australia.
Labor Premier McGowan managed to fix this and produce a $500 million surplus. There’s the secret of his support; not his Covid policies.
Unfortunately, it’s a package deal. Buy one, get two.
Peter Dutton… an archetypal boofhead
But also thick skinned. And with enough spine to lead the Liberals away from being just a little bit less left than Labor – if they’re prepared to follow him.
As for the minor parties, not much to hope for there. Looks like most of the people who put Labor first put Greens second.
It certainly is a package deal! However, I know Western Australians who loathed the lockdowns and the travel restrictions, but voted Labor – because of that lingering resentment of the Barnett government.
Dutton is indeed thick-skinned; but is he quick-witted enough to lead? I still have hopes for the Senate – and probably will until I see how the quotas are going!
P.S. From my observation, while the rest of the country doesn’t have a clue about the complexities of WA politics, WA people know a great deal. It is indeed a different country,
It is a different country – and you never know how different until you get here! Perth to Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra is about the same distance as London to Moscow.
The secession movement lingers on even 90 years after the referendum that was dismissed in the courts.
Just a change of regional manager not much to get excited about
Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss.
Well – we don’t know that yet.
Scotty from Marketing was not exactly a boss to remember fondly. I can think of at least a dozen Liberals who would have done a better job.
Climate aside, how do you think Albanese is going to be on things like WHO treaty? and next pandemic? even ending this pandemic measures?
I’m afraid I have no hopes for his behaviour on the WHO treaty and pandemic measures being any better than Morrison’s – unless he is forced by events to take a different perspective.
Even if he did so, he’d be called upon to deal with the atrocious behaviour of Labor Premiers like Andrews and McGowan.
If he so much as breathed a word that sounded like criticism, the media would be all over it as a sign that his party was falling apart.
That doesn’t sound promising Alter Ego.
It isn’t. I’m placing my hopes in the possibility of some dissident voices in the Senate – and in events (in the Harold Macmillan sense of the term).
I’d be excited if I thought the change would make an exciting difference to my life – and it almost certainly won’t.
But I always read with interest the speculation here about Johnson’s leadership and possible alternatives to it.
The reasons offered for election results (as in the news round-up) interest me too. They become narratives which can have an influence outside their regions.
Afternoon HP.
Greetings everyone!
Downtickers don’t like these social niceties do they? Are these the kind of people who push past other people in the street without an acknowledgement?
Greetings to you, Milo – from what is now morning once again downunder!
Actually, I think the downtickers on this subject are quite close to some of the enforcers of cancel culture. They want to punish people who have different attitudes to them.
Evening Alter Ego (it’s evening here) and good morning to you. Lets see what the downtickers make of this exchange – no doubt very threatening!
To follow up on a point I raised here yesterday, it’s nice to see my suspicion confirmed that the flurry of US sphere media stories trying to claim Russia is “blockading” Ukrainian grain, and thereby starving poor people, was another outright lie. The narrative was that this nefarious action by the Russians required the supply of modern anti-ship weapons to the Ukraine. An anti-Russian commenter here, TheBasicMind, had earlier repeated the Official Truth line prevalent in the US sphere media:
“Look, for example, at the news today. The big decision is over whether to supply anti-ship sea rockets. Without them there is little hope Ukraine can export the grain the world needs and famine is looking likely for some poor nations.”
Bernhard at Moon Of Alabama did the research:
No, The Ukraine War Has Not Stoked A Global Food Crisis.
Not only is it confirmed that Russia is not blocking the exit of grain ships, but rather they are kept in port by the Ukrainians who have mined their own ports, but this also confirms that the stories claiming that the Russians had “set out conditions” involving lifting of sanctions on them that would have to be met in order to release the ships were also black propaganda, based upon an openly dishonest misinterpretation of a quote from a Russian representative.
Of course, this truth will not be reported at the same level as the original lies, and if you were to ask people in the street in the Empire of Lies what is happening, the vast majority will still tell you “oh, everyone knows the Russians are blockading grain supplies”.
That’s how the Empire of Lies works.
And as an addendum, note that at the end of the thread where I raised this issue, a series of posts were made declaring that those here who question the Official Truth line on Ukraine are just repeating “Russian lies”, from some of the usual suspects here: Lord Snotty, Fingal and Sontol.
Well, now you can see what credibility to give to their position on this topic.
And on this point, bear in mind that the roots of the coming global calamities on power and food go back to policy choices made by our own US sphere elites well before the Russians intervened in the Ukraine this year:
The Famine Year Approaches
Dreizin Report Nov/Dec 2021
“2022 is shaping up to be the first-ever “global” famine year, and that won’t bode well for prices in our supermarkets. “
Of course, this truth will not be reported at the same level as the original lies, and if you were to ask people in the street in the Empire of Lies what is happening, the vast majority will still tell you “oh, everyone knows the Russians are blockading grain supplies”.
That’s how the Empire of Lies works.
And it’s horribly effective, for the same reason that the Covid rubbish is effective. The “everyone knows” nonsense is repeated by too many people who ought to know better.
Those msm figures who used to present a different point of view were more important than I realised.
In Australia it was the people on the ABC, whose excellent current affairs programs (not all, but some were seriously good) were part of my regular viewing until March 2020.
It wasn’t a lone voice one heard (like a Tucker Carlson) – too easy to marginalise. It was a body of opinion, presenting their views and arguing alternative positions.
They were being culled or resigning in protest for some years. Then, sometime before March 2020, they lost critical mass or simply vanished.
And so, until events take a turn, we really are voices crying in the wilderness. But cries in the wilderness do get heard. I like arguing, and my friends and family indulge me. Every now and then (to my surprise), something gets through.
We can at least make sure it’s not a monotone out there.
And even as the world begins to burn, our elites are still doubling down on their insistence that continuing their regime change project in Russia must be the only option:
US and UK Split With France and Claim There Is No Exit Ramp for Putin
“The US and UK are eyeing the complete defeat of Russia in Ukraine. Breaking with other NATO members that prefer a negotiated settlement, an American official stated the war ends with the “defeat” of Russia and a high-level British official said Russian President Vladimir Putin “must lose.”
Speaking to an Italian outlet, UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss said Russia must be defeated in Ukraine, and there were no exit ramps for Putin. “Putin must lose in Ukraine, and we must see its sovereignty and territorial integrity restored.”
But no matter how hard these warmongering interventionist buffoons like Truss stamp their feet, in the end reality tends to have its iron word. Remember the similar foot-stamping over their attempt to destroy the government of Syria and reduce that country to the same kind of bloody jihadi-ridden chaos they had inflicted upon Libya a few years earlier:
Cameron: Assad has to go for peace in Syria
How’s that one going for you, neocon scum?
That’s an unusually testy ending, Mark!
Even if ample evidence didn’t exist for an understanding that the picture of Putin presented to us is absurd, the sheer vehemence of the hatred and the insistence that the monster must go should alert suspicions.
Are these “interventionist buffoons” people renowned for their humanitarianism, insight and concern for the welfare of the people of the world, and dedication to democratic principles?
Putin is in their way. They are accustomed to steam-rolling or intimidating such people, but they can’t do that with him. Interestingly, the Russians have been sending out increasing signals that there are others who stand in their way: Medvedev for one.
“That’s an unusually testy ending, Mark!“
The liberal interventionist and pseudo-patriotic neocon warmongers who’ve been driving our murderously interventionist, warmongering foreign policy for the past three decades are unusually contemptible.
“Interestingly, the Russians have been sending out increasing signals that there are others who stand in their way: Medvedev for one.”
I think there’s much less danger that a replacement for Putin would be a corrupt weakling who would roll over for Washington, or fall for the Empire of Lies’ glittering falsehoods, than there might have been if he’d gone a decade or more ago.
It took an unusually perceptive, strong willed and competent (and yes, ruthless) leader to wrestle Russia up from the depths it plumbed in the 1990s, and to hold the lines in Georgia, Ukraine, the Stans, Syria, and against the internal “colour revolution” pressures funded by US and EU money and propaganda. There’s probably a bit more room to manoeuvre now, provided the line can be held in the Ukraine until the Empire’s focus has to shift to China, or to holding down its own restive populations as the world burns in the political fires of stagflation, division, hunger, energy poverty, in response to the catastrophic policies of the Empire’s decadent elites.
Now the danger is more that he’ll be replaced by an equivalent to our own interventionist scum – arrogant, resentment-fuelled and thuggishly aggressive
The liberal interventionist and pseudo-patriotic neocon warmongers who’ve been driving our murderously interventionist, warmongering foreign policy for the past three decades are unusually contemptible.
I agree!
And your last point is an important one. Those who regard Putin as “arrogant, resentment-fuelled and thuggishly aggressive” need to do more reading.
But they probably won’t bother. They’ve been told what to think about Putin and Russia by people they have no reason to trust or believe on any subject; and yet they parrot their verbal marching orders as if they were holy writ.
I’m reading with interest your arguments and reasons, and conversation with Alter Ego.
Though this may, in the great scheme of things, be just petty semantics, the word sounds wildly out of place – why refer to them as ”elite” when you also called them ”scum”? Stick to the ”scum” in future – more fitting.
If there’s no exit ramp for Putin – although its the West that needs one – the only alternative is a global thermonuclear war.
By what process did Liz Truss come to make a creature like Myra Hindley look benevolent?
“although its the West that needs one“
Something that will become more and more apparent as the year rolls on, I think.
“By what process did Liz Truss come to make a creature like Myra Hindley look benevolent?“
Worse than a monster, she’s an idiot!
I’m as much concerned by her evident thickness as by her nastiness. How did someone so evidently literally stupid and ignorant get to be in the position she is in? Michael Gove has been clearly a lunatic on foreign policy for decades, and an authoritarian idiot on covid for two years and counting, but at least he shows signs of intelligence and cunning in other areas.
Is it just that the bar is lower for women, as it is for those of non-white backgrounds, for political correctness reasons?
Too many politicians are selected for their perceived “pr” value: and that can include a demonstration of political correctness.
I don’t know how it works with the Conservatives, but in Australia people also get selected according to their “factional” value – as people likely to be subservient to the right people.
When I ask how a particular idiot got a Ministry, those in the know tell me sagely, “Well, he’s a factional ally”. So that’s okay then.
More disturbing is the lack of intellectual curiosity of these people. Couldn’t Truss at least want to give the impression of knowing something about her portfolio – or does she think that doesn’t matter?
She’s got snivel serpents to do the irritating thinking stuff for her, so no doubt she works on the premise: ”Why keep a dog and bark yourself?”
“the only alternative is a global thermonuclear war.”
You seem very keen on global thermonuclear war. Perhaps you should start a petition?
Good
Hello
How unfortunate it is that totalitarian regime dogma is so at odds with human nature.
Have they bothered looking at black babies?
Frequently. Same results, much to their dismay. The behaviour is innate; all children seek protection from people like themselves. Black kids are drawn to black adults.
Even more hilarious is how SEXIST toddlers are. One of the first differences kids notice is gender. And both boys and girls prefer their own. This too causes the social engineers much grief. Countless attempts to blame socialisation have failed. Much of it seems to be innate.
If I might be so bold, since the start of the Italian Renaissance, the large majority of anything worthwhile in our modern world, arts, literature, philosophy, advances in medicine, science, mathematics, physics, architecture, engineering, and innovation generally, has been achieved by white, European men. What is wrong with being a white, European man..?
Nothing. It is all driven by envy. Or, more accurately, driven by a sense of humiliation. The nonwhites know they haven’t produced any Newtons, Mozarts or Michelangelos.
When white people try to help nonwhites via quotas and other initiatives, we are implicitly saying to them they NEED that kind of help. Why this observation is not discussed is baffling.
“Why this observation is not discussed is baffling.”
Not really. Discussing such matters from any perspective but the Official Truth one is likely terminal for most careers, potentially dangerous to your personal safety, and possibly subject to police and court harassment. Only a few brave souls are prepared to do so, usually people with the inherent armour of being of racial minority origin themselves (and that isn’t a complete protection for them).
Hardly a surprise that we’ve descended as a society into gibbering dogmatic idiocy on these topics. That was after all the intention.
Yes. Douglas Murray just about gets sway with it using his gay pass. But I do agree it is a career ender for most.
Doesn’t mean it goes away. Hence the noises about white supremacy. In the US that is now publicly stated as the number one threat to Americans, despite the desperate lack of actual white supremacists.
The science is not favourable to their position. In the studies done by anthropologists the data are crystal clear. Bringing in Africans just creates a group who will be forever dependent on government support; a literal drain in every sense. Useful of course if you want a steady supply of statistics to “demonstrate” systemic racism. When few of them become scientists, doctors or engineers you can push the need for more intervention and help, all paid for by the natives.
It won’t end well.
Thank goodness for those such as Candice Owens and Mahyar Tousi (for example) – they can and do say ”controversial” things. And then they are labelled ”white supremacists”.
It’s hatred of the good for being the good, multiculturalism is the equating of good culture with irrational culture.
Multiculturalism, which has failed everywhere throughout history, is just the manifestation of the obsessions of a few. If you believe genetics is irrelevant and socialisation is everything, then racial characteristics are only skin deep. Any disparity must also be the blame of society because we are all the same. It is a self-reinforcing philosophy; the more it fails the more it demonstrates your hypothesis.
Who says it has failed? If it’s goal was destruction for the sake of destruction, what would it do differently from what it has been doing?
Totalitarianism is against human nature, man is not a sacrificial animal.
I must say it is a very curious feature of the 2020s that electorates all over the West are so keen to vote for globalist parties intent on destroying their economies and standards of living and imposing increasingly fascist restrictions on their lives. Biden, Trudeau, Macron and now Albanese.
But how convenient for the very lucky globalist regime though.
It all depends on what people deem realistic choices. The Morrison Liberal government could also be described as a globalist party, constantly subservient to US interests.
Alt makes a good point, Horse. The Liberals, since Turnbull was PM, have aimed to be just a bit less left than Labor.
Most of the green-leaning Libs got trounced last night. So it’s a chance to rebuild.
…Speaking to an Italian outlet, UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss said Russia was a very, very big country and they spoke a language with funny little letters and that Ukraine was quite close to it but further north near Lapland and it had Eskimos in it, she thought. She also said that Putin was Hitler and that Russian tennis clubs should be bombed with hypersonic drones and that President Zelensky prancing around in a crop top and high heels was the most empowering thing she had ever seen and that homeless people on British streets should sell their blood to pay for the expansion of his Florida mansion.
No exit ramp from the fast lane to global thermonuclear war.

The question for the regime is, how can this nature be beaten out of the children in a loving, inclusive way, while still shaming them for being white?
Oh, and the other question is, when are British men going to rise up and do something about this humiliating abuse of their kids?
It’s now official: Australians are as stupid as Californians.
We had the chance. We had the options. We said, ‘Enough of this bullshit’. And then we voted ourselves into deeper bullshit.
None of the freedom friendly parties made a significant impression. All those words about putting the majors last appear to have been left at home.
I might be more optimistic in a few days. Peter Dutton looks likely to be the next Liberal leader; they need someone at the helm who isn’t desperate to be everybody’s best friend, and Dutton will never be guilty of that. And Jacinta Nampijinpa Price looks likely to win a Senate seat in the Northern Territory. She’ll set lefty heads on fire.
Overall, though, right now, this feels like McClown’s massive win all over again.
Let’s wait and see on the freedom-friendly parties.
They were hampered by their lack of msm coverage (except when it was brutally dishonest and hostile), but we haven’t yet seen the final Senate figures.
You say ‘MSM’, I think ‘need more wax dolls and pins’.
Apart from Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer the FFPs were ignored. Morrison and the Liberals facilitated this by referring to ‘independents’ again and again, aiming – with some degree of success at least – to lump the minor parties in with the Green-backed Teal Independents.
Though the LibDems have little chance of winning a seat, they are claiming their best ever result at the polls. A small reason to smile. Still, one wonders after the last two years what it takes to wake people up.
One point I will make against the LibDems is a lack of awareness about social media. They have a presence on Gab, but it’s a generic party page. I asked a couple of the WA party hierarchy who was running the Gab page and they asked, ‘What’s Gab?’
These were young folks too, not wheezing old farts with walking sticks!
Hanson and Palmer had the advantage of being well-known names: even if that’s principally as objects of attack.
To their credit and that of the LibDems, their policies were ignored by the media precisely because they were making the most serious challenges. They were singing out of tune.
Monkeypox not the next Covid? This is interesting: The Prophetic Monkeypox Simulation – by Michael P Senger (substack.com)
Thanks for sharing, it’s more than interesting.
May 15, 1421 cases, 4 deaths in Brinia (fictional nation in the simulation).
According to BBC News it is an “outbreak”.
80 cases is officially an ‘outbreak’.
I’d just have phrased it as “80 cases across X number of countries” and left it at that, but then I’d be wanting to be less alarmist than the BBC.

My expectations of this article ever seeing the light of day on the BBC news are extremely low but then, like a high percentage of their viewers and listeners they too have been vaccinated against all critical thought.
All children display this behaviour, including whites, blacks, Asians etc. It is innate. It has to be removed via socialisation. This has been tested and demonstrated to the point of absurdity. It is almost certainly a survival mechanism. Young kids turn to those that look like them for help and protection. Black toddlers are drawn to black adults more than white adults. This is normal.
What is not discussed is the observation only white Europeans believe this should be socialised out of existence. The other races do not do this. The Chinese are often seen as racist, but this is not quite true. They see ethnocentrism as both innate and a survival mechanism required to perpetuate your own group. They are correct.
Here in the UK, those who have worked with other ethnic groups will note their marked in-group preference. This is especially true of Indians and Pakistanis. I’ve observed many times the Asians’ almost obsessive focus on angling for some advantage to their own people. They favour their own in hiring and seem to continually network for this. They are baffled as to why we don’t behave like this.
The council’s claim is classic propaganda, Their observations are probably true. What they don’t add is that black and brown kids are the same as whites. All children display these traits.
This may seem of academic interest but it is a matter of survival. Does anyone think Pakistan or India would tolerate millions of whites landing on their shores demanding school places, quotas for jobs or standing for parliament? Of course not. Only we do this and they are taking full advantage. The council’s comments are just part of the propaganda to make whites feel like racists by exploiting normal survival mechanisms we need to thrive.
ITEM: “Australia Goes Deep Green: Federal Election 2022” – Although the dust hasn’t fully settled, its looking increasingly likely Australia will have one of the greenest governments in its history, writes Eric Worrall in Watts Up With That?
I was delighted to see the end of the Covid-crazy federal ‘Liberal’ government of Scott Morrison – he closed the borders forever and a day, he failed to reign in the lockdown-happy state premiers, he said vaccine passports and mandates were a Bad Thing but did nothing to stop their introduction by the states, he was all-in on the vaxx mania, he was rock solid behind the virus hysteria from Day One, he threw bucketloads of money to pay for the effects of closing businesses and paying their workless workers to stay home thus racking up eye-watering debt and hideous future economic problems. He is 100% culpable for Australia’s Covid mess.
Whilst the freedom micro-parties scored an aggregate 12% of the nationwide vote (in line with the percentage of the population who are done with the Covid fiasco) this does not look like translating into lower house seats but may give them a voice in the Senate.
The Liberals lost not to the freedom movement but to the official Greens and the unofficial Green/Teal independents in the leafy inner-city seats who are mad Covid zealots and mandate tyrants.
At least Labor’s Kristina Kenneally, who said the freedom movement were domestic terrorists, has fortunately been kicked out of her seat (by a Teal independent). She was set to be Home Affairs Minister (and thus in charge of the spook agency, ASIO, and the Australian Federal Police) in a new Labor government but Labor will probably come up with a nasty equivalent.
So its one cheer from me but much more to worry about fro the future of freedom in Australia.
The only remaining hope (down under as well as up over) is that a few years of extreme greenery will lead to a push-back before we all starve and freeze. I am, however, not very hopeful.
Alter Ego noted up above that people he knew in West Aus voted Labor to punish Colin Barnett for screwing up the mining industry. Colin Barnett, Liberal premier before Masky Mark, has been gone five years.
Any damage Barnett did has been equaled or even surpassed by McClown’s covid regime. Barnett, so far as I recall, didn’t have business leaders moving east to get away from his government.
That’s one of the things that makes West Australia special. People don’t just carry a chip on their shoulders here, they nurse it until it grows into a plank.
And McGowan, I believe, will one day find out how heavy a plank he will have to carry. Barnett’s sins will be forgiven because, as you rightly say, they were so minor in comparison.
WA’s natural isolation meant that it had a chance to avoid many of the mistakes made elsewhere. Instead, McGowan led a government that became one of the craziest in the country.
All those boasts about “vaccination” rates, even for children under the age of 12; all those people (75% of the WA workforce) forced to take the jabs to keep their jobs.
Do you think there’ll come a point when Western Australians will console themselves by pointing out that he came from New South Wales?
I’m not on Twitter, but there’s a few local voices I follow there. They have all expressed ‘Can’t wait until he fucks off back to’ sentiments.
I remain skeptical about the high vax rates claimed by the government. The rollup for the third shot especially, from what I hear, is well down. And we have the legal case against the mandates brought by Constable Ben Falconer, which gets zero MSM attention, but appears to be making steady progress towards a day in court.
The persistent failure of Morrison’s government to offer any support to public universities while lavishing cash elsewhere has had a seriously negative effect on our research infrastructure; and his stream of inconsistent messages played into the hands of local tyrants.
The man was not fit for office, and it’s good to see him go. The loss of the simpering Keneally was a bonus.
It was a treat to see that idiot import go down in flames.
At least Biden didn’t fall down the stairs! And his minders remembered to dress him!
Well, I suppose that there is a downside to his falling down the stairs (namely Harris), but I can’t say I would have shed a tear.
And it would appear he got to the tarmac without pooing his pants
More sceptic posting about Monkeypox.
The NTI is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 and was engaged in developing, shaping, and implementing nuclear security projects. Somehow this mission has slipped and in November 2021 they published this paper.
“Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats”
It is heavy going to read. However, turn to page 10 and fig one. Scenario Design Summary.
Look at the first date May15, 2022. Monkeypox outbreak in Brinia 1,421 cases/4 deaths.
A date at around the same time that this actual outbreak hit the fan.
Other news. A second outbreak in Spain has been linked to a gay festival in The Canary Isles.
Doctors in the Netherlands are obliged to report all cases on Monkeypox to the Health body.
When monkeypox was first mentioned I assumed it was some of joke but it looks like they are leveraging this thing to be the reason for another round of mass vaccinations. Just to up the scare level they have now found a case in a child;
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10841357/British-scientists-warned-monkeypox-void-left-smallpox-three-years-ago.html
There seems to be a determined move to push human healthcare into a vaccination process where we all become vaccinated zombies with no remaining natural immunity system, just hanging on for our next fix.
Smallpox vaccinations ceased in the UK in 1971 and so it strikes me that there are 2 things we need to know about each monkeypox case;
I asked the second of those questions yesterday. I’d imagine that the answer to it is “highly likely”
Looking for the next big thing!
Has anyone else noticed how much younger the Queen is looking in her recent press photographs?
And smiling continually, unlike she has ever smiled before. The sort of smile she has always adopted at the horse races but never before in the company of mere mortals. But now, she seems to be seen constantly beaming from ear to ear. Very unsettling.
Yes, mind you, if I had to sit though that sycophantic tripe with Titchmarsh, Helen Mirran and the rest which I had the misfortune to see about 30 seconds of (platinum jubilee event) recently, I would lose the will to live!
Sorry, (again), I meant this as a reply to Cecil B.
The solution to the monkey pox pandemic is simple
1 Do not allow unvaccinated monkeys into the country
2 Cut down the monkey puzzle trees
3 Do not allow monkeys in shops or pubs unless they are masked
4 In enclosed spaces demand monkeys only walk in a clockwise direction
5 Monkey track and trace (name it ‘Monkey About’ which is catchy and easily remembered)
6 Snappy three part slogans ‘Stay safe. Hate Monkeys. Save the NHS’
7 Get the Met to beat protesting monkeys with batons. The Met could also murder a few monkeys in order to encourage the others
8 Ban all references to monkeys on TV, Twitter and Face book
9 Encourage local collaborators to grass up monkeys
10 Link monkeys to climate change
11 Blame rises in fuel prices on monkeys
12 Publicise the fact that worlds largest producers of monkeys are Russia and China
13 Get Bill, Belinda and Piers involved
14 Leak the connections between Epstein and monkeys. How many visited his island? Were the monkeys on the island at the same time as Andrew?
15 Get Cheeta from Daktari to do a piece direct to camera apologising for all his monkeyism (Yes I know he is a chimpanzee but where are you going to get a talking monkey this time of night)
The answer is right in front of our eyes. It saved us last time
Now replace “monkey” with “indigenous British whites” and you begin to see how the modern world works.
16 Ban monkeys from Wimbledon
Surely a given, Mark? We can’t have pox-spreaders at Wimbledon.
You might think it’s belabouring the obvious, vax-tee, but there’s no harm in going the extra mile to signal our virtue that bit harder, after all.
You can never signal your virtues hard enough
Comic genius, especially points 6 and 7. You could get a job in government.
no, point 14 was priceless!
I will leave this here.
And I’ll steal it. Thanks!
Best laugh I have had in ages. BG on the drums.
Watching “Sunday morning” on BBC 1 this morning and it seems to me that the TPTB are TRYING THEIR BLOODY HARDEST TO MAKE MONKEY POX THE NEW COVID.
Wouldn’t you if you lacked the skills to be productive in the market? Wouldn’t you if you were a little above average in terms of intelligence, but not one of the original thinkers; just bright enough to feel superior to the great unwashed but not enough to really make it in life?
When we criticise third world countries for “petty corruption” what is it if not this? The willingness to reject duty or decency to ensure you get on in life. An inability to resist the temptation of short term gain even if the lower orders suffer.
The Covid response (although not the virus itself) ushered in decades worth of central control in a short time. Why would they relinquish this?
Destined to fail as all these schemes do. The desire to elevate monkeypox to the new threat is just one example of how out of touch these people are.
“The Covid response (although not the virus itself) ushered in decades worth of central control in a short time. Why would they relinquish this?”
Completely nails it VT.
I was mulling this over last night and it occurred to me that I can now barely remember what life was like pre March 2020. How much we have lost and how abnormal life is now.
Notice, once again, as always, this is a targeted attack on white children. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child (or an adult) identifying favourably with people of their own race. And there is absolutely nothing on this planet that will change this instinct – not even their cultural Marxist terrorism.
So will Islington Council admit that black children are strongly biased in favour of blackness? Will they scrutinise black children in the same way they criminally prod and poke white children? Of course not – that would be racist. The c*nts.
Wait until those kids join the labour market 15 years from now. They’ll be banned from some positions, just like South Africa. I hope that generation can fight because they will need to.
Sweden’s strategy was the only strategy.
Everyone who imposed lockdown had no strategy, there was no reasoning behind lockdown and, as such, no strategy, that is why it was domestic abuse as policy.
There was plenty of reasoning behind it, just not the stated reasons.
It was far too chaotic and capricious to have reasoning behind it, it was driven by whim.
Fraser Nelson is correct about the police investigation into partygate, Finkelstein can be exiled to Michael Moore’s underpants for voting for lockdown then demanding Kim Jong Johnson not be fined for breaking his own rules.
When next lockdown is demanded, it should be shoved up the arse of Kim Jong Johnson and Kneel Starmer.
Racially biased 3 month-old white children, & strongly white-biased at 5 years.
Gosh, I had no idea: us whitey-types are absolutely riddled with defects/shortcomings. It’s a good thing that non-whites have not the slightest trace of racial ‘bias’ in their bones.
Strewth, what BS! But, what is so wrong about that fact of life anyway? This exists in all races/cultures/groups – and boys like to hang out with boys and same for girls (in the main).
But no, this is an attempt to highlight the ‘racism’ and myriad other ‘problems’ that seem to exist solely in white DNA.
If only my parents were still alive – I could then blame them for my being white (well, not literally white, but you know what I mean), instead of having to bear this yoke of guilt/shame (not).
The “Boris Johnson met Sue Gray” story seems at first glance to be about the most boring non-story you could imagine. But that may well be a mischaracterisation.
First, one can ask why on earth Sue Gray attended. It’s all too easy to observe that Boris Johnson is supposed to be her boss. Why? Because she herself is supposed to obey not only her boss, but also, y’know, rules and stuff, and to act with propriety. Presumably a tribunal would support her if she refused to obey unlawful orders and got a wallop for it, as also would her union, no? So there’s a little bit of a question mark there.
More interestingly, it’s peculiar that both of them say it wasn’t them who called the meeting. So who did? Editors at the Guardian clearly didn’t look the word “refuse” up in a dictionary when they wrote that “Nadhim Zahawi refuses to say who called Boris Johnson meeting with Sue Gray”. Actually Zahawi has not refused to say. He has said he doesn’t know. That is very different.
Where did the meeting take place? Who was present? Who took minutes? Who have the minutes been circulated to? What citizenships do the recipients of the minutes hold? And who actually did call the meeting? There can’t be many people who can click their fingers and tell both Johnson and Gray that they’ve organised a meeting between them and their attendance at it is required.
Hey, do you reckon anyone at an embassy might know anything about this?
Why on earth should there have been such a meeting in the first place is the question I would like an answer to.
The police have concluded their investigation. Fines have been issued. A LOT of fines.
Sue Gray is ready to publish her report, so she has all the information she needs and doesn’t need to seek any more, which could be the only useful purpose for her to attend a meeting with one of those who have been fined as a result of the police investigation.
Why on earth therefore, from her point of view, would it have been necessary? The only logical conclusion can be is that the PM perhaps wished to influence what Ms Gray would put in her final report and the way in which it is publicly presented. Quelle surprise.
Given the power imbalance between their respective positions, that surely can only be an abuse of his position and misconduct in a public office – would therefore another Met investigation into just that issue be appropriate?
It would be a bit like wondering whether Blair, when he was PM, sought to influence Lord Hutton’s Iraq inquiry after Dr Kelly’s death.
We all heard the evidence given to the inquiry on the evening news day after day after day – about the dodgy dossier etc etc, and yet when the Hutton report came out, it didn’t bear much resemblance to that evidence.
if anybody could predict well the depth and length of a market downturn, that person would soon be the richest man on earth. There is no reason to think Matthew Lynn of the Daily Telegraph is such a person.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/05/21/stock-market-crash-has-just-begun/
He immediately claims in the title ‘crash has only just begun’, yet a few hundred words later says ‘we have already taken most of the hit’. Make what you can of that !!?!!
Perhaps, it goes to underscore the ignorance of MSM pundits?
Last week he said it was ‘inevitable’ that the pound would go lower, or words to that effect. It promptly bounced, of course.
A clever piece of arse-covering. Readers are supposed to remember only one claim or the other, not both.
