News Round-Up

by Will Jones
7 June 2022 2:00 AM

  • “‘Lethal risk’ warning as nurse shortages mean only a quarter of shifts properly staffed” – Staffing gaps have risen by almost 50% in five years, with the loss of 25,000 workers last year alone, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Beware the dangers of a cashless society” – Sacrificing notes and coinage in the name of expediency will trigger terrible unforeseen consequences of total financial surveillance, warns Silkie Carlo in the Telegraph.
  • “Private cancer clinic goes into liquidation after NHS bosses refused not-for-profit contract to help tackle post-Covid backlog” – A private cancer clinic group with treatment centres in South Wales, Northumberland, Liverpool and Thames Valley and Somerset has gone into liquidation, despite the massive post-lockdown backlog in cancer treatment, the Mail reports.
  • “Game Over. We Won” – Steve Kirsch reports the results of a survey he commissioned that found 1.7 times more people reported the Covid vaccines had killed more people they personally knew than all previous vaccines over the last three decades. Strikingly, 45% reported that vaccines (Covid or otherwise) had killed someone they personally knew.
  • “NHS reveals in FOI that Ambulance Call-Outs for Heart Illness have Doubled since COVID-19 Vaccination began among all age-groups” – The NHS has confirmed in response to a freedom of information request that heart-related ambulance call-outs nearly doubled in 2021 and are rising further in 2022, reports the Exposé.
  • “Bret Weinstein: I will be vindicated over Covid” – Freddie Sayers in UnHerd interviews the evolutionary biologist and former Evergreen professor about his pandemic views, which saw him cast out of polite society.
  • “Goalposts on Wheels?” – Why, asks Thorsteinn Siglaugsson on his Substack page, has the public unquestioningly accepted every new goal, every justification, and been so ready to forget today what they were convinced of yesterday?
  • “The Ideology of the NHS” – The NHS bureaucrats need to take a step back and stop trying to circumnavigate parental consent, says the Naked Emperor.
  • “CDC Wants Its Covid Regime Made Permanent” – What the CDC pushed on the country, even the world, was without precedent. The resulting disasters are everywhere present. At minimum we should expect the CDC to cease and desist, and certainly not entrench and codify. That the latter is taking place reveals what a long struggle lies ahead, says Jeffrey A. Tucker at Brownstone.
  • “South Africa: Warmism Creates Blackouts” – State energy provider Eskom’s promise to reduce coal-fired generation over the next 30 years threatens to drive South Africa’s 62 million people further into an abyss of rolling blackouts and attendant economic damage, writes Vijay Jayaraj on Watts Up With That?
  • “Ketchup at risk from climate change” – As global warming threatens the production of processing tomatoes, the popular sauce could no longer be a staple condiment, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Princeton’s warning to its campus community: Speak at your own risk” – If Princeton Classics professor Joshua Katz had kept his mouth shut in 2020, would he still have a job, asks Megan McArdle in the Washington Post.
  • “Is the West End going broke because it’s gone all woke? A Prince Charming who spurns Cinders for the Duke. A Jane Austen play that flaunts the F-word. No wonder theatres are struggling to fill their seats” – Theatres across London are in desperate straits; many are half-empty night after night, and some aren’t even bothering to open the upper circles as so few tickets are selling. Is it because they’ve gone woke, asks Christopher Hart in the Mail.
  • “Will nurses lead the charge against transgender activism?” – Nurses and the nursing profession largely caved in disgracefully over COVID-19, but some nurses do seem to be taking a stand on the issue of transgender activism, writes Roger Watson in Unity News Network.
  • “Why I Quit Georgetown” –  Ilya Shapiro writes in the Wall Street Journal that the university didn’t fire him, but it abandoned free speech and created a hostile environment.
  • “Why do people overestimate the size of minority groups?” – Human psychology means in situations of uncertainty, we systematically overestimate small values and systematically underestimate large values, writes Noah Carl on his Substack page.
  • “Elon Musk Says Twitter Is ‘Resisting’ Terms of Deal, Threatens Termination” – Elon Musk is accusing Twitter of “resisting and thwarting” his ability to obtain information about bot accounts on the social media website, saying that it’s a “breach” of the terms of their April deal, reports the Epoch Times. Is he trying to wriggle out or get a better deal?
  • “Lambeth says: Save Our Statues!” – A first analysis of the public consultation shows overwhelming support for the status quo, says Save Our Statues.
  • “Speech-Related Offences Should be Excluded from the Proposed UN Cybercrime Treaty” – Across the world, governments routinely abuse cybercrime laws to crack down on human rights by criminalising speech, write Meri Baghdasaryan and colleagues at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
  • “Banning Hate Speech Won’t End Extremist Violence” – It would likely make the problem worse, argues Jacob Mchangama on Persuasion.
  • “Football Fans: The vanguard of the resistance against ‘The Great Reset’?” –  Their game may be targeted by the Great Reset, which would complete the transformation of football from an expression of local identity to a lucrative global theatre, but the powers-that-be fail to understand the spiritual energy of true supporters, writes Niall McCrae in Unity News Network.
  • “I was hounded out of school for ‘transphobia’” – There is no forgiveness for those who question dogma, says Julie Bindel in UnHerd.
  • “The cultural imperialism of taking the knee” – Those Hungarian schoolkids were right to boo this paternalistic Western gesture, writes Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “Free speech makes free people” – FIRE is expanding its free speech mission beyond college campuses to protect free speech for all Americans.

Well said Jack!
As a sports physician, I surmise that the poor performances may relay to forcing players to humiliate themselves before a gladiatorial battle.
In a war, the soldiers need to believe they are superior in every way to the other mob.
Just watch the All Blacks perform the Haka to understand what mindset is needed to win sports contests.

Very perceptive post from this young lad – as a fellow Hull City fan I deplore this taking the knee nonsense, after reading this analysis I’m even more angry about it.
