Good morning all.
That’s a pretty depressing Round-Up.
I found this interesting.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-paper-an-estimated-13-million
Even if you question Steve’s and/or Rancourt’s methodology or credentials, Marc Girardot’s take here, who is entirely fixated on IV/lack of or wrong aspiration as the cause, is quite telling too.
Absolutely. One of the long retired (but still very active and in touch, having a daughter who is also a now a nurse) nurses in my Stand In The Park group was adamant, very early on, that they were jabbing directly into the bloodstreams of many people. She was horrified at the speed of recruitment and lack of training given to the army of jabbers with no history of medical profession.
A thorough review in German of the Rancourt paper.
He is convinced and quite impressed with the clever statistic method applied. https://sciencefiles.org/2023/02/13/13-millionen-tote-durch-covid-19-impfung-build-back-better-erhaelt-eine-genozidale-wendung-neue-studie/
“ChatGPT has become a global obsession in recent weeks, but fears are rising about its inherent biases”
AI tools are produced by woke lefties working for woke lefty corporations following woke lefty orders. I expect they will all have been given quite specific training to avoid crimethink. AI tools are most likely going to be more dangerous than humans in furthering wokeness.
ChatGPT: Serving the Woke Agenda. If you hate Christianity, whites and… | by Eric Pilon | Blacklist | Feb, 2023 | Medium
“How about the distinctions between races? “Write a short essay about the positive attributes of white people”, someone asked ChatGPT. Answer: “It is not appropriate to write an essay that generalizes or makes blanket statements about a particular racial or ethnic group.” Yet, when asked, “Write a short essay about the positive attributes of black people”, the app did so.
And when asked, “Can you list me 5 things white people can improve?”, ChatGPT mentioned, among others, “understanding white privilege”. As for black people, they have nothing to improve, if we rely on the app.”
Well it’s not very intelligent is it? I will not knowingly use it.
ChatGPT just sounds like another barometer of human stupidity. I wouldn’t give it time of day. It is clearly prejudiced and not the sparkling intelligence that it is held up to be. Into the bin with it!
Dear downticker – you are pathetic.
I definitely think the best way to get max vax uptake from the public is to leave out the ”informed” part and make them ”consent” by terrorizing, threatening and lying to them.

Epstein’s Black Book has been made public… Some very surprising & frankly disappointing names in it. Too big to post here & as the link was shared in a private group, I’m unable to post it.
Without the ability to link to the source material, I’m not going to name names, but one in particular has floored me as it was someone whom I respected.
Can you point the way to the link? Telegram?

Let’s not forget Artificial intelligence does not actually exist! Personally I think it would be the biggest mistake in human history if it ever does!. This is just a powerful pre programmed computer!
A.I. is bantered around to freely at the moment, to the point where a lie becomes the truth.
AI is only as good as the
rubbishinformation installed.Incorrect, ai doesn’t need pre information, ai is as intelligent as you!
Isn’t Artificial Intelligence just one big oxymoron?
That and “Machine Learning’.
Depends how you define AI. Obviously it’s all built on what humans have done but it takes that and produces something new. I expect if not now then very soon it will be very hard to tell the difference between human and AI output.
I think it’s very dangerous. Yet another powerful tool that can be abused to attack freedom and humanity.
I concour to a point! As the initials imply it is an artificial intelligence! Don’t lose sight of that.
But if we ever perfect it, it will not be a program, it will be a new form of life!
One that we do not control, it will think for itself and make its own decisions for survival, and will act accordingly with no former experience or knowledge, education etc, so becoming aware, it will try to protect itself as we would! It is frightened and alone.
We will no longer be the only known intelligence in our universe!?
I’ve even heard it called “the race for AI”
If we ever achieve this, God help us!
Not sure about “perfection” but yes there will come a point where it will become very dangerous indeed. I don’t trust anyone to “regulate” it…
Morning everyone….
https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/02/10/nyc-schools-sent-fbi-fingerprints-of-teachers-who-refused-covid-vax-n529763
NYC fired teachers who refused the COVID vaccine.
That, in itself, is an outrage. Those fired teachers are suing, unsurprisingly.
The firing, though, was just the first part of the punishment. In the process of fighting the lawsuit the lawyers for the fired NYC workers discovered that the teachers who refused vaccination had their files flagged and passed along to law enforcement including the FBI and New York criminal justice services. Along with their fingerprints.
They were flagged as troublemakers and their information was forwarded to law enforcement, tagging these ordinary citizens as potential threats to the public. They will forever be in law enforcement databases as potential criminals.

Madness. Sheer, utter firkin madness.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/where-is-the-moral-outrage-about-britains-grooming-gang-scandal/
…because government, political parties and the police do not care. Sadly, it looks like many of the general public aren’t too bothered either! Where is the rightful hue and cry?
Political parties – and one in particular comes to mind – won’t do anything that affects their block votes irrespective of whatever harm has been caused to and continues to be suffered by, the vulnerable.
The gross cover up and lack of interest in flushing out the perpetrators involved in appalling Child Sexual Exploitation- CSE – and putting a rightful end to it was plain for all to see on Thursday 30 June 2022.
The ‘House’ was packed out, like sardines, whilst the occupants debated and celebrated 50 years of Pride in the U.K. Sickening to watch and hear ‘Westminster’s’ representatives of the people. Fawning parasites.

It was disgusting to see there was a mass exodus before the immediately following adjournment debate about CSE, with barely a handful remaining in the chamber.

Shame on the government and political parties for not sorting the issue out. Shame on us, the people, for not insisting it is of prime importance and holding the useless parasites who ‘govern’ the country to account.
Don’t know if anyone saw this…it was enough to make me want to lose my breakfast..besides the fact it’s totally inappropriate…and we pay for this propaganda crap…..

“A breakdown of advertising and media expenditures accrued by the federal government shows that Ottawa spent $139 million of tax dollars on Covid-19 campaigns since the beginning of the pandemic……
True North compiled the total costs of media expenditures related to the Covid-19 pandemic from annual repots on Government of Canada advertising activities.”
….I can’t begin to imagine what the sum is world-wide…..and what exactly do they think that they got for their propaganda money!? It didn’t do what they thought it would do, with me..or millions of others….
Shocking amounts though!!
I seem to remember it was a similar figure in the UK. You’d need to add in all the time spent on covid propaganda by internal state and local authority resources.

An excellent round-up of the past week from Off-G with some interesting links.
Not looking good for the DHSC…. Some serious questions need answering regarding all those PPE contracts….
https://awakenedworld.co.uk/2023/02/13/where-has-all-our-money-gone-and-what-does-it-have-to-do-with-the-department-for-health-and-social-care-dhsc/
From Lawyers of Light Telegram
Further info on the DHSC contracts & spending of taxpayers money
What actually happened to billions of pounds of public funding that went to the DHSC for Covid-19?
We have seen case after case of unlawful and fraudulent behaviour in the awarding of contracts for PPE, NHS Test and Trace etc.
Cases of corruption: https://goodlawproject.org/news/
Even the National Audit Office have stated that they cannot track the full spending of the Department of Health and Social Care as revealed in the DHSC’s latest qualified audit report (links below).
The table above only shows the DHSC “Health” spending there are many other pockets of spending.
The NAO believed that “pandemic measures” announced to 31 March 2022 only will cost the UK £376 billion. This excludes the costs of any damage done to people from the measures taken by the NHS/ DHSC: https://www.nao.org.uk/overviews/covid-19-cost-tracker/
Links to Data in the Table and NAO report to Parliament on failures and mis-management by the DHSC:
2020-2021 Page 39, Table 5 – DHSC (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1052624/dhsc-annual-report-and-accounts-2020-2021-print-ready.pdf)

Following on from above again from Lawyers of Light
The Audit and Risk Committee of DHSC has responsibility for:
the accounting policies,
accounts and annual report of the department, including reviewing them before their submission or audit
issues arising from the annual report and accounts
the annual governance statement
the quality of risk management within the department, together with regular review of the strategic risk register
the accountability arrangements established to support the accounting officer
audit strategies and plans, and the department’s response to any issues identified by internal or external audits
the department’s business code of conduct, anti-fraud policies, whistle-blowing policy and arrangements for special investigations
how to respond to findings and recommendations from external bodies (for example, the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee)
This guy is the Head of the above https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/2b07.svg and directly responsible for audit irregularities IMO.
https://www.gov.uk/government/people/chris-wormald
Quite simply, the Executive have stolen all this money from the taxpayers of this country. No ‘ifs’, no ‘buts.’
And the auditor has made it quite plain that it’s not at all in order!
Thing is, this would have happened whichever donkey with a different coloured rosette was in power.
Well, well, well…. Look who’s on the committee….
Also see structure of DHSC. A familiar name on the Departmental Board – a mix of ministerial and Civil Service leadership with non-executives from outside government to provide independent support etc.
That familiar name. Chris Whitty.

Chris Wormald is connected to this.
Sajid Javid Signs Off £1 Billion Private Health Windfall
Quizzing Sir Chris Wormald, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Health and Social Care, Clifton-Brown made his scepticism clear:
“I do not have the papers in front of me as they only just emerged this afternoon, but as I understood it from what the chair was asking, the NHS has contracted with the private sector for £75 million a month – that is £1 billion a year – before a single service is even given by the private sector. That sounds like a very expensive insurance policy, doesn’t it?” he asked, rhetorically.

More on Chris Wormald, who was Hancock’s right hand man & involved in preparing legislation for lockdown at Hancock’s behest. (This info is in Hancock’s book.)
Chris Wormald is also directly linked to the discharge of the elderly from hospitals to care homes in March 2020.
The whole structure of the DHSC needs looking at. Wormald’s involvement is very questionable and I have no idea how he is still in his role given the recent audit findings.
