“Totalled Tesla goes up in flames…”

It’s been happening for years. But Musk always seems to get a free pass. Include suspension struts that are woefully under strength for the two tonne cars, such that they break under the slightest dynamic load, doors which can’t be opened from inside or outside in the case of electrical fault and/or fire, touchscreens which aren’t rated to 120deg so fail all the time, phantom braking, “autopilot” which can’t see stationary vehicles up ahead… The list goes on and on.

Even just a hint of any one problem like the above and a serious car manufacturer would be obliged to recall every single affected vehicle. But not Tesla. I wonder why. Ah, yes, “savin da planet”.

I’d honestly keep my 20 year Honda if offered any of these non cars. Never breaks down, has no complicated “systems”, and i can easily carry out services myself.

Granted, it doesn’t allow me to do any motoring related virtue signalling, or get massively in debt, but I do get to visit the local petrol station a bit more often than most**

**Yes, it’s a gas guzzler…..can ya dig it, Just Stop Oil ?

Pfizer’s Former Top Scientist Warns About Next Pandemic Former Pfizer Exec Believes Leaky Vaccine Was Intentional
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/07/02/leaky-covid-vaccine.aspx

Bill Gates has stated that COVID-19 was ‘pandemic one,’ and the next one will really get everyone’s attention. For that, this 17-year veteran Pfizer scientist who’s an expert in respiratory pharmacology warns they may launch a therapy similar to a go kart with no accelerator, steering wheel or brakes.

People complaining on social media about catching coronavirus multiple times despite extreme masking and testing.

It’s simply because they’re socialising too much, right?

After two years of reading this site and it helping to keep me sane I thought it was long past time to donate.

It’s a shame that the donation requirement has chased off some of the prolific posters on the todays-update page, especially swedenborg and Kate but on the other hand the trolls seem to have gone too which makes the site more pleasurable to read, and easier to administer, I’m sure.

Thanks, Toby, Will and all at DS for all you have done.

Regarding the children’s vaccination story, I’m surprised more hasn’t been made of the fact that according to the ONS, 95% of children in GB have antibodies against the virus.

How can vaccination be justified, especially since natural immunity is repeatedly shown to be much longer lasting than any immunity from the vaccine?

They can still be sued for fraud irrespective of whether it becomes a routine child injection. Fraud has nothing to do with liability.
Uncovering the fraud is the key to the downfall.

Yes I know that, but how much more ‘fraud’ can they uncover? Beside the mountain of stuff from the Pfizer dump, the latest stuff with the lack of clinical evidence for the ‘baby’ vaccines….allowing Moderna to churn out new ‘vaccines’ without even having any human trials?? it seems like it’s daily and still they carry on…and who is going to stop them? Agh!!

I know that you know Mrs G, not everyone does. As well as talking amongst ourselves, educating folk new to the Resistance is an important part of what we need to do.
Work is being done with the fraud which has been uncovered, finding a narrow enough legal question is the challenge as the judiciary is either bought or the question asked is too broad to prove.

Essential questions to WHO by Panda..

This highlights how so much in the world now is no longer managed or driven by National elected governments ,that we choose ,but by self selected and unelectable supranational organisations such as Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ,Cepi and in this case the Pharma industrial complex.

Thats our problem as the idiots such as the pig dictator ,Johnson et al are in hock to these supranational organisations and do not give a toss about their people .

Anybody interested in creating an organisation for the Ethnic British that can vocalise and fight our cause …to keep the bar***ds feet to the flames .

The tile refers to Bill Gates….when he said this at a TEDTalk in 2010…

First, we’ve got population,” he said during the talk organized by TED, a non-profit organization devoted to spreading ideas. “The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.”

This is what the fact-check says…..
However, Gates was not suggesting the global population should be killed off using vaccines. He is instead saying that improving public health using vaccinations can reduce unsustainable population growth in the future – and with it, lower carbon emissions.

Who the frick is ‘we’, and who gave him permission?….’unsustainable’ to who?…and for lower carbon emissions?.??

Don’t know what you think but I think he was talking about de-population by vaccine….. !!

Fargo school mask study:

“We observed no significant difference between student case rates while the districts had differing masking policies (IRR 0.99; 95% CI: 0.92 to 1.07) nor while they had the same mask policies (IRR 1.04; 95% CI: 0.92 to 1.16).”

Look at this remarkable death curve of Australia. Nearly all the deaths were AFTER the ummm product thing was introduced. But more importantly, notice its not a gohmpertz curve anymore, but an endless meandering. What does that tell you?

GREEN FINGERS Urgent warning to gardeners as soil ‘increases risk of killer heart disease’

The results of the analysis pushed experts to recommend that people wear a face mask if they are in close contact with the soil.
Experts at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany said pollution of air, water and soil is responsible for at least nine million deaths each year.
They highlighted that more than 60 per cent of pollution-related deaths are due to heart issues such as strokes, heart attacks, heart rhythm disorders and chronic ischaemic heart disease.

is this the best one yet???

Talking of Ferguson and his useless modelling…does this remind you of anything….?

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/01/world/europe/denmark-mink-report-covid.html?smid=url-share

When Denmark ordered the culling of its entire population of mink in late 2020 over fears that a mutated version of the coronavirus that had infected mink could diminish the effectiveness of vaccines, millions of animals were killed and farmers were left reeling by a financial burden that Danish taxpayers ultimately will shoulder.
On Friday, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark apologized to the country’s mink farmers after a damning report released this week blamed top officials for mishandling the cull and said that she had misled the public — the latest twist in a fiasco that has undermined the government’s popularity.
The cull, which resulted in the loss of 5.000 jobs and effectively halted the industry at the time, was met with a public backlash, forcing the resignation of one minister.
