  • “Conceptual Zero Draft” – James Roguski posts an advance copy of the World Health Organisation’s “Conceptual Zero Draft” of its proposed ‘Pandemic Treaty’.

  • “Meghan thinks ‘woke’ just means caring and kind. Here’s why she’s wrong” – The Duchess of Sussex claims that the woke are simply “alert to injustice in society”, says Michael Deacon in the Telegraph. “But that’s not true.”
  • “While the Tories slowly destroy Britain, U.S. conservatives are transforming America” – If the U.K. feels gloomy and broken, it’s in large part because the Conservative Party has abandoned its basic principles, argues Douglas Carswell in the Telegraph.
  • “Why is Eventbrite censoring feminists?” – Julie Bindel in the Spectator is not happy that Eventbrite deleted the link to a gender critical event she was involved in and began issuing refunds, claiming the book launch event could promote “hateful views”.

Whitewash? Who would have thought it? There really does need to be a proper independent inquiry as well. Dan Wooton tried something of the sort with his GB News show some months back, but we could do with something bigger and more wide ranging. People consulted should as a minimum include (among others) Sir Christopher Chope, Dr. Mike Yeadon, Professor Carl Heneghan, Toby Young, signatories and authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, and Anders Tegnell, whose country had the lowest all cause excess deaths since the start of lockdowns. Other suggestions welcome.

Anyone with a Telegraph account care to say which 21 MPs and Peers signed the letter?

Press ‘Esc’ on your computer just as the article loads up. Might take you a few tries but it works.
But all the article says is: The signatories of the letter, who include former Cabinet ministers Lord Frost and Esther McVey as well as the chairman of the 1922 committee Sir Graham Brady, say they are concerned by “the composition” of core participants for Module Two.

Well this is interesting and very troubling reading. On Medscape they have a section which only medical personnel can access, asking how concerned they are about ‘vaccine’ adverse events. Doctors are posting about their own personal health struggles as well as what they are seeing in their practice. You can load more comments at the bottom and the posts just go on and on…

“It’s been more than 1 year since those vaccines destroyed my life. AZ in mai and Pfizer in June. Some symptoms got indeed better but unfortunately I am left with many autoimmune issues, positive ANA, maybe will develop Hashimoto from the positive anti TPO….i have the diagnose ” undifferentiated connective tissue disorder ” with joint pain and Raynaud along other issues that are not autoimmune…and a chronic autoimmune disease won’t just dissapear or get better with time. i cannot deal with the fact that i did the right thing and I developed now at least one autoimmune disease, being only 30 and perfectly healthy before. But being on other Forums I know I am unfortunately not the only one. Bonus I will probably lose my job soon since, as doctor, i am FORCED to get the vaccine or no job! Even though I have seen many doctors no one would write in a referral that I should not take any vaccine anymore. Life completely ruined and even after so long time there is no acknowledge, no help…”

Shows what a small group can do when it has conviction and commitment. Paul Diamond, the solicitor who took on the case, is to be applauded. This group, Public Child Protection Wales, have been vilified by the Welsh Government, by the media, and various other groups. They have been portrayed as being party to right-wing extremism and paedophile conspiracy theories but all they have ever wanted is for the children to be safe. Anyway, a small victory but the war is far from over on this.

Anyone with eyes to see knows the jab is causing untold damage. Some examples I know of, aside from many others reported by chums, all occurring in jabbees yet none formally reported or linked with it:

-Massive stroke 2 days post doctor-coerced jab against family wishes and subsequent death (my aunt, you pharma b*stards)
-Immediate collapse post jab with severe neurological symptoms, completely ignored by NHS, recovering with non-allopathic treatment
-Bell’s palsy
-Sudden inexplicable drop in haemoglobin requiring urgent blood and iron transfusions (treating nurse had same issue)
-Recurrence of dormant but potentially life-threatening genetic syndrome
-Miscarriage
-New menstrual disorders (very heavy/prolonged bleeding, 2 cases)
-Heart attack with subsequent stenting (3 cases)
-Odd, inexplicable & refractory mouth ulcers (3 cases)
-New confusional states (2 cases)
-Depression in a previously unaffected person, no other obvious causative factor
-Covid infection post multiple jabs (many)
This is aside from post jab numb arms & crashing headache, feeling ‘unwell’ for days after and so on.

There are days when I think it would have been quicker and less painful to shove us ‘useless eaters’ and other targetted groups against a wall and shoot – this level of unnecessary trauma and suffering is beyond evil.

No, no, no – it’s not the ‘government’, it’s the constantly abused taxpayers who will end up paying their heating bills!

Ultimatum – back to work or sack ‘em! Cheeky blighters.

If they were really serious about climate change and so on, they should build new Civil Service office blocks with modern thermal efficiency, demolish much of Whitehall, and ban them from working at home!`

An important, succinct article by Dr McCullough regarding mandatory Covid ‘vaccination’ for organ transplant recipients. He links to a paper which reports on 3 people with lung transplants who, shortly after having their Covid jab, went on to develop “acute antibody-mediated rejection of their transplanted lung(s) resulting in hypoxemic respiratory failure”.

“Clear clinical acumen could have seen these events months if not years ahead of time. Investigational COVID-19 vaccination should have no role in transplant medicine. We can all watch how transplant doctors and ethicists crawl out of their dark holes and face tough questions in the future.”

This is of great concern, ebygum. However, if you’re unvaxxed, they won’t take your blood so I understand. There should be blood banks for those who don’t want ‘vaxxed’ blood but I doubt there is or will be. TPTB will try to get that poison into you any which way they can. Of that, I am sure. It feels so dark at times that it’s almost unbearable and we are talking about it here as if it’s normal and yet it’s happening everywhere!

Cheers hux. This must be what Dr McCullough was referring to in his substack. Absolutely insane isn’t it? These doctors wouldn’t be out of place in a Nazi concentration camp, the way they turn their backs on evidence, medical ethics and their oath to first do no harm. A disgrace to their profession. 🙁

I remember making a joke about people curled into a ball on the ground saying Trump becoming president was the worst thing to have happened in their lives and that they probably all work at Twitter now.

Seems I wasn’t too far off the mark.

It helps me to stay sane if I consider human nature as a force of nature as unstoppable as the oceans, the deserts, the mountains and the very fire in the sky from which it all comes.

OK some good news at least…Babylon Bee are reinstated on Twitter…

https://babylonbee.com/news/twitter-is-dead-300-million-people-post-on-twitter

WORLD — Hundreds of millions of people around the world mourned the sudden death of Twitter last night with hundreds of millions of heartfelt posts on Twitter.
“Twitter is dead. This is it. Goodbye, cruel world!” wrote Washington Post journalist Geebles Snortleton as it became clear the social media site had only a few hours of life left. “It’s been great! I’ll miss you all! Find me on Meta! It’s the wave of the future!” 
The post has thus far received 12 likes and 3,487 retweets. 
Analysts reported over 300 million similar messages were tweeted on the platform that same evening, leading to a record-breaking spike in Twitter usage. 
“Elon has killed Twitter. He has made my blue check irrelevant. He has allowed unqualified people to express their opinions. This isn’t just the death of an app, it’s the death of democracy itself,” said Timothen Fordlestan, another journalist at the Washington Post. “This will be my last tweet on this platform.” 
At publishing time, sources had confirmed it was not, in fact, Fordlestan’s last tweet on the platform.”

LOL!

Thank Christ for that! Goodbye constant chatterers, we don’t need to know your opinions any longer. These people have such massive self-regard, they can’t even see it. I’ve luckily never been on Twitter although I’ve read posts on here and elsewhere as it seems it has been used as a forum for censorship advocates and lockdown and vaxx fanatics to air their lofty reasoning. They actually think it was some sort of democratic forum other than a place to spread bile and propaganda. ‘…it’s the death of democracy itself” – swoons Timothy Fordlestan. Hilarious! Democracy indeed.

I got fed up with being timed out when opening links to Twitter posts so, against my better judgement, I joined. I lasted just over 2 weeks before I got suspended for expressing an opinion about Chunt the chancellor, hehe. I can be unsuspended if I verify my phone number. Why? They’ve already got my email to verify me, why are they fishing for more verification? They can take a high jump!

This is the same energy they put into the pandemic.

The number of Canadian doctors who have died suddenly has now risen to 93..

Have a listen to the second video down..Dr Makis explains that, “The college of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario sent a memo to doctors suggesting their unvaccinated patients may have a mental problem and should be put on psychiatric medication.”

That reminded me of Dr Francis Christian in Saskatchewan being offered mental health ‘support’ during the meeting called to communicate his suspension. He sounds to me as though he has no mental health problems at all, unlike his interlocutors.
