Six Ways to Free Your Mind in a New World of Manipulation

by Laura Dodsworth and Patrick Fagan
18 July 2023 7:00 AM

There is a war on for your mind. You may not notice, but you are surrounded by manipulators: advertisers, politicians, Big Tech – even the humble waiter who asks, “still or sparkling?” We are awash with attempts to change how we think and what we do. The human brain is bombarded by thousands of pieces of information every day, the equivalent of 174 newspapers every day.

Psychology used to be about diagnosing and fixing people, but now it is as much about predicting and manipulating you, thanks to adoption of behavioural science by governments and corporations. Human beings are subject to biases which are used against us, mercilessly, such as our conformity and authority biases.

The need to reclaim sovereignty of your mind has never been so timely, because the combination of sophisticated behavioural psychology with Big Tech and AI means we will be more vulnerable than at any other point in history.

Free minds have never been so under threat from the fact-checkers, the nudgers, shadowy Government units surveilling and censoring us, highly personalised online environments and the multiple distractions of a screen-based life.

The human mind is a wondrous thing which demands ingenuity and truth. We believe your mind should be free. Fortunately, there is a field manual for winning in this information a battlefield: here are six rules from our new book Free Your Mind to live by.

Hack your phone with boosts

Eighty-three percent of the world’s population owns a smart phone, and we pick them up between 49 and 80 times a day. Multiple studies prove they affect our cognitive abilities, while social media platforms are deliberately designed to be sticky and to manipulate our emotions, so we need to practise social media distancing.

We might bristle at the idea of being ‘nudged’ by outside forces. But what if we could ‘nudge’ ourselves? This is a fairly new idea that psychologists call ‘boosting’. There are several boosts that you can selectively apply to hack your phone – and your own mind – and make you more resilient to said outside forces. Some of these you might know, such as switching off notifications and setting screen time limits, or even taking a temporary digital detox. But there are more subtle and effective boosts. For example, setting your phone to grayscale rather than full colour has been shown to reduce screen time by about 30 minutes a day; and moving addictive apps away from the home screen reduced the number of phone pick-ups in a week by 6%.

Get it in writing

British teenagers’ top three news sources are Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, according to an Ofcom report. The world is becoming more and more visual – and that’s before we’ve even started to immerse ourselves in the Metaverse and Apple’s Vision Pro headsets. The trouble is, we’re far more likely to be manipulated by images than we are by words. Human beings have had writing for 4,000 years, but we’ve had eyes for 543 million years. What we see is more emotional and automatic than what we read. Psychologists call it the picture superiority effect: images are more attention-grabbing, memorable and persuasive. For example, newspaper stories with images are more likely to influence you, and video reports even more so. On the other hand, reading flexes the brain’s muscles and gives it time to breathe. Whenever there’s a chance of persuasion – in the news, at the supermarket, or at work – try to get the information in writing before making a big decision.

Move from a hot to a cold state

Modern life is a chaotic whirligig of confusion. We are endlessly assaulted by the equivalent of 174 newspapers of information everyday – or at least we were all the way back in 2007, when the study was conducted. Goodness only knows how much we are bombarded with now, now Tweets compete with Fleet street. Unfortunately, you are more vulnerable to persuasion when you are going through a kind of ‘blip’ of uncertainty and confusion. On a small scale, it could be that you buy those trinkets and sweets when you get to the checkout in Primark, stressed and exhausted. On a larger scale, it could be that you join a multi-level marketing scheme when you’ve been through a divorce and moved across the country. And on the largest scale, a country could be more pliable when it’s going through Brexit, a pandemic or a recession. When making important decisions, it’s crucial to step out of a ‘hot’ – emotional or overwhelmed – state and into a cold one. Take some time to make the decision in private.

Meditate

When you are manipulated, half of the problem is the messaging itself, but half of the problem is you. Sometimes natural human foibles are being weaponised against you, and sometimes it’s your own unique emotional landmines. It’s the work of a lifetime to understand ourselves and stop self-haunting – meditation offers an important solution.

Sometimes we tend to think so hard, we lose our gut instinct and fall prey to our biases. You can debias the mind during any form of mindful meditation, by improving ‘interoceptive awareness’. Just one 15-minute mindfulness session can reduce the incidence of a particular cognitive bias by 34%. Counter-intuitively, to free your mind, don’t overthink it.

Analytic meditation is a more advanced form of meditation practised by Buddhists, including the Dalai Lama. It teaches you to research and know your mind. Pondering the thoughts that influence your behaviour and attitudes, which can bring about inner change, a more positive state of mind and psychological awareness.

Consume media that make you happy

While the goal is to free your mind, the universe is infinitely big, and our brains are minuscule by comparison, so we can each only see a tiny slice of reality. Much of what we sense as reality is actually an illusion. However, we can use that fact to our advantage, and each choose the perceived world we want to live in.

Forty-six percent of people actively avoid news every day because it makes them miserable and trust in media is low. Thrashing out debates online doesn’t seem to be bringing forth happiness or peace. On the other hand, studies show that reading poetry improves well-being and positive affirmations are self-fulfilling prophecies.

If, to an extent, we must live in an illusion, we have the power to choose one we like. Instead of doom-scrolling on social media you can focus on films, books, theatre, podcasts and artworks that elevate your mind and mood.

Develop of a set of principles and plan in advance

Today, people searching for meaning shift seamlessly from one ‘current thing’ to another. You can see it play out on social media accounts, when emojis get swapped out for one temporary crusade after another. Crucially, nature abhors a vacuum and we are more susceptible to cults and mass movements if we don’t know what we stand for. If people are empty inside, if they do not have some kind of guiding principles, then they risk being filled up by another ideology. As G. K. Chesterton said, “Those who leave the tradition of truth do not escape into something which we call Freedom. They only escape into something else, which we call Fashion.” We must all decide what we stand for if we don’t want to fall for anything .

Finding an authentic purpose in life is one of the most important guardrails against undue influence. This is intrinsic to the world’s religions. For the agnostic or atheist, you can find also purpose by self-individuating (as Jung called it) through meaningful work, family and community.

Develop a plan (even a quick mental one) and set of principles for any situations where you are liable to be psychologically influenced, whether it’s shopping, dating or politics. And determine your principles and beliefs on your own through reflection and writing, before the next wave of emoji activism hits.

If you liked these six rules, we have 375 pages of ground-breaking, smart-thinking advice for you, in our new book Free Your Mind: The new world of manipulation and how to resist it, out today. We hope you like it! And, if you so, please leave a review on Amazon or the bookstore of your choice.

Just like every other piece of covid nonsense, this makes no logical sense. What if there’s another deadly pandemic?

More importantly, why are we vaxxing kids with an emergency vaccine when every other government action makes clear even they no longer believe (if they ever did) that this is an emergency.

Surely the DS party line now has to be that the vaxx program is very very wrong and needs to be opposed, now.

The government have made vaccinating children an “option” for loud fudging idiots to stab their own kids and keep those same loud idiots off the governments backs. They’re not pushing it like they have done for other age groups. It’s just to stop those wooden heads who scream “PrImArY sChOoLs aRe StiLL uNsAfe!!!”

We need to expose the NHS for what it is – a captured front for the providers of scans, testing, pharmaceuticals and other harmful or unnecessary procedures, for most of which there are, according to even the NHS, better alternatives such as improvements in lifestyle. If in any doubt read:

  • The Patient Paradox by Glasgow GP Dr. Margaret McCartney
  • Doctoring Data by Dr Malcolm Kendrick – a GP from Cheshire
  • The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

This was all by the design of John D. Rockefeller, who started the takeover of Western healthcare 100 years ago.

Good point…….Javid is correct, we’ll never have to use the Coronavirus Act again……

……..because a global pandemic treaty will govern UK.

This must be resisted with every fibre of our being.

Just imagine what the pandemic would have been like if we had still been in the EU……….ask yourself why the same people who wanted us to stay in the EU are the exact SAME people who have been pushing global jabs, global ID and digital currency.

Indeed. The government have recently tried to reign in the civil service obsession with diversity and inclusion. I strongly suspect they see how hostile we are becoming to this.

It hasn’t worked of course. The civil service have dug in. But I’d agree they don’t care but it does suggest our efforts have some effect.

I have no doubt at least some of the rationale for Javid’s utterances was the incident with Steve James. Javid lost that brief scuffle. The optics were bad as the Americans like to say. That’s all it takes.

The Canadian Truckers’ optics were cataclysmic for TPTB, a lot more people are against the, and have had their eyes open to the dangers of the restrictions, should they try and bring them back.

Add to that, no bugger knows anyone under 80 who died of anything other than shoddy NHS treatment or a clot shot induced cardiac infarction over the last 2 years.

The credulous fool to whom I’m married believes that there were ‘only 30 trucks’ involved in the 50km long convoy and that ‘nobody cares about the truckers’. Depressingly , that opinion seems to be shared by a large majority of the population who have now turned their attention to the hysterical ranting of the BBC about WW3

Alas I have experiences this too. Not just the truckers but the effects of the jab. Most are oblivious to the existence of any controversy, whether it is the heart issues in young men or disruptions to menstrual cycles. There was a comment on here the other day from a woman overhearing female colleagues talking about gynecological issues post-jab like it was just one of those minor hassles in life.

The propaganda has been effective.

I met up with a friend earlier this week. She’s fully jabbed incl booster. She decided to be jabbed as soon as she was eligible in order to protect her elderly parents who are also fully jabbed etc – and also so she could go on holidays! Unlike some of my former friends, she doesn’t think that everyone should be jabbed and accepts it’s personal choice.

We were just chatting and I asked her what she thought of the Truckers in Canada etc and Trudeau’s retaliatory action. She was clueless and had no idea what had gone on to date. She was appalled at what has happened to the Canadian truckers and fully supports their actions. I was shocked that she was completely unaware of what’s going on.
It is frightening to think there are so many more people like her who are unaware of such events. She is a very intelligent, well read individual. How could she not know?

Stunning admission of ignorance from someone I love who is also intelligent and well read

Something has to make you dissatisfied with the information sources you have traditionally relied upon.

In March 2020 I sat down to watch one of my favourite ABC (Oz BBC) current affairs programmes – sure that I would hear a lively debate on this “pandemic” business. There was instead a chorus of virtuous obedience. No questions raised; no examination of anything.
I was horrified; and have not watched ABC news or current affairs since that night.

“Auntie” turned out to be the loyal wife of our governments – capable of the occasional bit of cheek, but nothing more.

I’d say that those of us on here are in the minority of those who A) know and B) can join the dots and see where what Trudeau did in Canada highlights what is coming down the line for the rest of us in time – just a matter of when, if people don’t push back.

I’d wager that up to 90% of people don’t know much at all of what was going on in Canada, and would think it was just a “local difficulty” or that the truckers were dangerous and represented some kind of “threat” – and wouldn’t see that they could actually be one of the last bulwarks trying to hold out for freedoms everywhere.

Very hard having to listen to the PM bang on about the ‘importance’ of freedom and democracy in Ukraine when if you read about the Elections Bill and add it to the HRA reforms and the Online Harms Bill he seems more than happy to kill off those two highly prized things by legislative diktat here in the UK.

The near enough worldwide lockdowns were amazingly successful in stifling opportunities for just general day to day chat and exchange of information amongst many people. Opportunities that may have sparked further interest and awareness of what was going on. Aided and abetted by the imposition of face coverings to impede communication and ‘seal’ mouths and of course, the ‘keep your distance’ advice in order to prevent catching a virus from fit and healthy ‘asymptomatic’ people.

Near enough unbelievable what people have been subjected to, worldwide and yet, it hasn’t made more people rightly question what has / is happening.

But I know several people who have developed very serious health conditions, including aggressive cancers, heart trouble, strokes, loss of use of limbs, and seizures since they got jabbed.

As in, ‘with’ rather than ‘from’ dandruff. And then the only protection against it is a hip replacement which only works if everyone has one.
The sad thing is if they peddled that obvious bullshit half the population would have fallen in to line regardless.
As far as I’m concerned COVID has been a smokescreen for the much more mundane but ultimately much more deadly Repo crisis of late 2019 that narrowly avoided a second banking collapse within a decade but only by, again, kicking the can further and further down the road and over the hill far far away. The panic is still all too real amongst the Globalists and their teetering Ponzi scheme of a financial system. What’s happening now in Ukraine is maybe a symptom of that, the West’s last desperate attempt to covet Russia’s vast untapped resources. How else are they to stay solvent?

Surely the DS party line now has to be that the vaxx program is very very wrong and needs to be opposed, now.

Your call to arms is way too late, sad & pointless. 90% of the population have been vaxxed, with far too many kids and young people over the last few months dropping dead or lumbered with lifelong afflictions such as myocarditis.
LS should been opposing the EGT vaxx roll out 12 months ago from the moment the damning information from ONS, Yellow Card and independent scientists started to firm up (Feb 2021) and was reported regularly via many outlets such as TCW and UKC. Over and over LS refused to lay a glove on this government, with TY (May 2021) openly declaring the site was not vaxx-sceptic despite the carnage his chum Boris had unleashed. DS still holds firm to this disingenuous (quasi-BBC) editorial line in its description…

‘Unlike with lockdowns, we are neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine; we see our job as reporting the facts, not advocating for or against a particular policy.’

Along with several others I advocated time and again for this avowedly sceptical website to oppose the vaxx. 12 months ago the figures clearly showed there was NEVER at any point justification for jabbing young adults and kids when U16s stood up to 100x (even on official figures) more chance of dying from EGT therapy than C19 – that was proving fatal for at least 1 in 24,00 (up to 1 in 2,400) recipients. We posted these ever-evolving figures with sources time and time again in Spring 2021, as well as calling for LS to get its act together and oppose the vaxx roll out to kids before it started – but TweedleTob‘s hard core denial acolytes were more interested in his feelings (and preserving their socialising space and virtual friends) while he was out shooting animals and generally cavorting with TweedleDel.
For anyone to NOW ask (without irony…) for this editorial change is incomprehensible. Surely you must realise that ‘better late than never‘ doesn’t apply either to a government knowingly inflicting mass murder and injury on its own citizens or journalists refusing to act on information to hand because their chum inflicting the damage might get angry (after all, he’s ‘a libertarian at heart’). Such actions were once termed ‘shutting the stable door….’ in TY’s feudal imaginary country idyll.
And when the N2 trials eventually come around, will TY be answerable for his deliberate editorial inaction over the last year, or will his loyal acolytes form a human shield around him and deny everything?

If there is no longer an emergency (I don’t believe there ever was) then the Emergency Authorisation of the Covid “Vaccines” must be revoked. They must now go through the correct testing and authorisation regime and the Pharmaceutical Companies must become liable for any damage they cause.

Do spare a thought for the Scots who don’t buy it and are proud of their Britishness.

From the Russian perspective the British are nation-destroying adventurers despite the fact almost none of us are.

I think we all need to get better at calling out the level of propaganda people are subjected to even if we personally have escaped it’s effect. Covid was an obvious example, but Scotland is no different. It is top-down power we must stop.

Have to haul you up for that petty, small minded, Scotphobic rhetoric there.

A majority of Scots abhor the SNP and nationalist movement. Do you listen to Neil Oliver? In case it escaped you, we Scots are part of this United Kingdom, and a lot of us are proud of that and wish to remain so. The way the voting structure here works, one party for nationalists ( the Greens are an extension of the SNP) the Unionist vote is broken up between Tory, Lib Dems and Labour, we are defeated every time.

Ignorant rhetoric like yours plays into the nationalists hands, but if it makes you feel superior, good luck to you.

Couple of years ago Conservative and Labour formed an informal coalition on Aberdeen City City Council to keep the Nationalists out….this coalition reflected typical voting in Scotland; a pro- unionist majority.

Unfortunately it didn’t “last the weekend”…..Labour bigwigs suspended the councillors involved….that’s the problem you see, the individual unionist parties want to cling to their own fiefdoms at all costs, even if it means losing overall power.

If we had just one election up here where Labour/Conservative/Liberal agreed to work together together, the “Independence” movement would be out of power and killed off for good. (IMHO)

Labour in particular will not countenance it; too cowardly to be seen to colluding with “the evil Tories”…..despite the Conservatives having more support than they do.

Meanwhile, instead of immediately getting rid of legislation like this, the Government and the country spends its time curtailing free speech, worrying about the state of Britain as it was two centuries ago, whether men can also be women, “green” stuff and the rest of the farrago of nonsense. All this in face of Russian actions and also what’s looming from the other country, China, whose prostitute we have become.

Another acquaintance remains convinced that the unjabbed are all to blame for the spreading of Covid. She’s fine, of course, fully jabbed and boostered and off to Teneriffe on a plane with fully jabbed travellers. She also believes that using facial recognition and surveillance on crowds is a very good idea. After all if you’re doing what you’re told then what’s the problem? She’s tertiary educated and very middle class being a good girl. I see her though different eyes now.

The key takeaway is not about the expiry of specific legislation, but the acquiescence of the public. The lesson learned is if a future government need to enact emergency legislation they will meet minimal opposition in parliament, and enthusiastic endorsement in the media. This will be bolstered by judicial power too.

That is to say, the last two years demonstrate an establishment exists and it is capable of steering an entire country in a direction it finds desirable.

If we view this as a post-Brexit and post-Trump experiment, it has been a roaring success. That is to say, both Brexit and the election of the outsider Trump, upset the establishment. The plebs did their own thing. They ignored their beloved global view of the world. They did the unthinkable and acted in their own self interest. The great unwashed couldn’t quite grasp the bigger picture.

That is the real conclusion in my view. And the worry. Most are oblivious to the machinations of people who are often quite blatantly anti-democracy, anti-British and fear the spectre of normal people ignoring “important” global events like climate change, multiculturalism and the progressive adoption of society-ending depravity like hormone blockers for children and the dismantling of the family.

Left to our own devices we plebs get it wrong. Those who would be our rulers now have a robust set of tools with which to steer us, not the least of which are minor figures like Javid willing to say or do anything to get on in life.

I actually think that all that stuff you have described in your post HH will never go and could be here to stay indefinitely “to stay safe” after 2 years of being used to it being everywhere.

Imagine the outcry if the Tesco stopped providing it as you entered the shop. It’s a kind of vicious circle – the more you convince people they need it the more they will want it.

I went to eat in the village pub in my parents village for the first time since, being unjabbed, I was “allowed to” by TPTB. On the wall as soon as you entered the front door there were a raft of posters – one for wearing a mask to stay safe and another for please use the hand sanitiser and another very prominent one telling the unjabbed they were not permitted to enter (which particularly made my blood boil – had half a mind to tell the manager it ought to be removed as it was now discriminating against the unjabbed). The servers were still all masked up like something out of the Handmaid’s tale.

I thoroughly agree with this comment. They have flexed their muscles and found that, given sufficient propoganda and a completely malleable media, there is nothing they cannot do.

The road back is reality. You cannot cheat real life. Six months ago many despaired that the masses would never see through the Green agenda. But the antidote was market forces; Green ideas are expensive. Part 2, which is yet to come, is Greenery is only partly effective. You cannot replace a coal fired power station with wind turbines. That manifests itself as power cuts. Do it often enough it manifests as death for many people, more deaths than covid.

It may be disappointing few people can think their way through this stuff. But it does mean the literally crazy ideas from globalist social engineers like the WEF are unpalatable to most. No one will swap a three bedroom semi to live in a pod made from recycled coke bottles and feed their kids insect burgers while discussing the kids’ various gender choices. That is fantasy.

So, the future looks bright for the simple reason our lords and masters are no better at planning than we are. Their ideas cannot compete with ours. The propaganda helps them avoid scrutiny for a while. But the same inattentive masses react just as strongly to the consequences of their bad ideas. Power cuts, poverty, losing your job so your company can hire a more diverse group of foreigners all have real world effects. None of it can work.

Insurance companies admit that they can’t coordinate their different insurance lines, eg car, home, personal insurance because they have too many legacy systems that are just not compatible. To get all health records tied in with bank, shopping and all other details is just going to be a massive undertaking which I believe will take years and years, as well as quantum computing.

But making statements in parliament, bolstered by your cheerleaders in the Guardian about the benefits of full-spectrum surveillance are all well and good. But it is ordinary people who must implement them.

The recent example was the absurd decision in Scotland to classify pubs as mask-free but not nightclubs. The clubs responded by putting a single chair on the dancefloor and claiming they were now pubs and therefore technically exempt.

Every crazy plan must be implementable. The least capable entities in any country are the public sector. It is doomed from the start.

By the time the “next time” comes around it won’t be “social distancing” as the form of silencing and control it will be the removal of access to the internet. The internet and tech has in one sense enabled them to do the bulk of what they did over the last 2 years, but no doubt they can see that so many people found ways round it BY the use of the internet – Joe Rogan’s podcasts, forums, Mercola’s sharing of information etc etc. Cut off the internet and you head that problem off at the pass.

The genius idea behind this; make Scotland unattractive to new business, use excess amounts of taxpayers money to bloat the public sector, and bribe the intelectually susceptible with bribes on prescriptions and travel.

Public sector workers voting for jobs for life+ the bribed = 30 ish% of the low turnout= shite government forever.

I had an appointment with “my” MP – Jack Lopresti, Con. – about Vax mandates. He thinks they’re a jolly splendid thing. I asked him if he supported digital ID and he said no, he doesn’t, and I can look up his record on this. But he slipped in that he would “only” see a need for them in cases of war or other national emergency. My presumption is that even if this emergency act expires without renewal, another “national emergency” will be found for another act, and a war has conveniently been declared just as the “pandemic” regulations are discarded. They will always find the excuses and legislation they need to keep this going, in the attempt to get us all to voluntarily hook ourselves up to the system.

This makes sense when you understand that the elites realise the covid con has run its course and they have moved on to the next stage of their ‘order out of chaos’ program – war and all its associated spin offs like sanctions creating energy and food shortages for the poor, with rich pickings for billionaires trading in commodities and arms.

I’m not sure if anyone bothered to read Putins address to the nation yesterday – but I agreed with every word of it. From the bit where he said the US/UK/NATO aggressor had broken every promise made to Russia, in particular the promise made after the Russian withdraw from Eastern Europe not to expand its troops and weapons silos beyond Germany, to Western elites attempts to destroy European societies from within by a process of aggressively imposing cultural “degradation and degeneration”.

NATO should have been dissolved after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact but now the US/NATO alliance, which is a tool of the cabal, is in the process of completly surrounding Russia with nuclear weapons, ICBM’s, bioweapons and troops right on Russia’s border – and the West has the gall to accuse Russia of warmongering, bullying and intimidation.

Now it emerges that Putin was right when he said last year the the US military had established a number of bioweapon labs in Ukraine. May Russian missiles rain down on those facilities, and take whoever is running them with them.

Since the 2014 CIA/MI5 sponsored coup in Ukraine, corrupt Western elites like the Clintons, Bidens, Sorus etc have been sucking Ukraine dry – much the same as these elites did when they funded the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Ukraine, a country of 43 million people with vast resources now has a GDP less that New Zealand, a country of 4.5 million people.

As Putin says, the cabal is determined to crush any nation that does not fall at its feet. For Russia, this is a fight for national survival.

The Russians will not starve, the sanctions will act against us, the population inside the hegemonic grip of the US empire.

The sanctions will lead to higher energy and food prices in Europe and will be used to further disempower us and strip away our remaining democratic rights. All part of the Great Reset and the move to unshackled totalitarianism in the West.

Russia long ago saw that it would never be accepted by the US/UK on equal terms and has made other alliances, notably with China. I can only hope that the US neoliberals are as incompetent and insane as they appear to be, because they could well destroy the US in the process of their warmaking.

The danger to the US is internal chaos and civil war as a result of the contempt and exploitation of its rulers.

As a result of the UK banning Aeroflot, Russia has banned all UK flights from entering and overflying its vast terrority, which will make it much harder for the average Brit to travel to the East.

Sanctions do three things – make the sanctioned country more independent, unified and stronger while impoverishing the poor and enriching the elite.

I will say it quite plainly and clearly: given a choice between the honest despotism and targeted murder of Putin, versus the “You’ve never been happier about it” despotism and extermination via open borders and spreadsheets and suicidal “climate” policies of Davos, I choose Putin.

If Spetsnaz start dropping out of the sky, I’ll be welcoming them with bottles of Lidl’s finest spud-distillate.

Sadly, I’m not a paid Russian shill, although I’d be happy to accept some “campaign contributions” if anyone knows where I can sign up for them.

Russia has been collecting evidence of war crimes committed by the US/UK enabled neo-Nazis during their day in, day out attacks againsr Russian speaking east Ukranians over the last 8 years.. One of the tasks of the Russian military is to try to catch known key figures to bring them to War Crimes trials. German leaders have been shown some of the evidence.

Yes, it was hard to disagree with anything he said… unless you’re a Western power trying to push a global agenda to destroy civilisation as we know it that is. Or if you’re still trying to work out which pronouns you’d prefer to be identified by. I posted the address in the DT comment sections, just pointing out that the West are actually the initial aggressor.

Other factors are the presence of nuke-capable Aegis Ashore systems in Poland and Romania, with Moscow just 12 minutes flight time away. These are supposedly missile defense systems against non-existent Iranian nuke missile but are actually aimed at Russia. If the plan to drag Ukraine into NATO had panned out, similar systems there would have been a mere 5 minute flight time from Moscow. This is just another replay of the Cuban missile crisis prompted by USSR’s response to US nuke missiles placed earlier in Turkey.

There is another historical replay in action. In 2008, the US suckered the President of Georgia into attacking Russian peacekeepers placed between S. Ossetia and Georgia. The US said Russia was weak and would not be able to respond. In fact, after Russian peacekeepers were killed, Russia went in hard, totally trashed the Georgian military and then left. This was promoted in the western MSM another example of unprovoked Russian aggression.

This cartoon needs updating

The appalling legacy of this nonsense is that vaccine mandates are effectively in place across much of the World via International travel requirements. It is a back door way of doing things, theoretically voluntary but they catch a lot of people. You now need a vaccination certificate to enter Kenya and so the Kenyan lady who works with my family in Uganda needs a vaccine certificate to go back and visit her folks in Kenya. These travel vaccine mandates may be enough to enable them to carry on this vaccine madness for some while yet.

I’m staying hopeful that once the true damage is revealed (as it’s starting to now with the German insurance company story of the harms being 10x worse than reported) competing interests and a need for self preservation (not ending up being the last one still standing when the music stops) will lead to the downfall of Pfizer et al.

Again, the likes of those of us on here are aware of that issue, having read the reports from links posted by people here, but legacy media won’t report this – the bulk of the population would have no idea that this is the extent of the harms caused (and Gato Malo on Substack believes that the data is on the low side, considering that while doctors will treat those complaining, they are unlikely to believe that medical insurance should cover it and so will not complete the paperwork to report it).

Plus the BBC, in almost every report it does on the issue, tells people to get their jabs as they are the best way out of the pandemic being not only safe but effective. They ran a story yesterday saying that for some reason researchers have identified that people who have had covid are not suitable candidates for surgery and have to wait for a certain period of time after their recovery before they can be operated on, however if the surgery is urgent it can still go ahead. They closed the report by saying that of course, being vaccinated, makes the surgery safer. Why on earth would that be?????

The 1984 act requires effectively a warrant from a magistrate to detain people on the advice a a registered GP. Closing of schools and leisure facilities becomes the responsibility of the local authorities. Port authorities are responsible for Vaccination cannot be made compulsory under 1984 act.

The provisions of the 1984 Act are sensible if you consider what constitutes a notifiable disease within the act itself, including food poisoning, would you really want to eat in a restaurant where the kitchen staff have come into work with campylobacter?
The real problem was declaring CoViD19 a notifiable disease, maintaining that status and awarding the powers to the U.K. government (not an English government), which includes representatives of the devolved nations. The devolved governments could make decisions about their nation without any involvement of any other nation, but the English did not have this privilege.

Sorry about the third sentence my iPad didn’t do a complete deletion.
The other aspect of the 1984 act is that it is local not national, which led Jonathan Sumption to say it was the wrong legislation to use as a basis of the coronavirus legislation. The alternative legislation, the civil contingencies act 2004, is what should have been used, according to Lord Sumption.

Bella, that time will never come.

You’re expecting all countries’ governments to agree and/or respond to a specific matter in the same way. This has never happened – never – not once.

Don’t let them win. We haven’t stopped travelling throughout, all over Europe, and it’s all just a relatively minor inconvenience, you just have to think creatively in order to give the appearance of having done all the necessary bureaucracy: the people checking everything (apart from passports) haven’t got the faintest idea what they are looking at.

And don’t go around wearing your yellow star. Be a chameleon. This is the hardest part for me, because I JUST WON’T COMPLY. But I am learning that while the fool tries to look different, the wise man looks the same, and IS different.

All very mysterious. Decide for yourself if you want you, your wife, and your kiddies to travel all the way to an airport and then be refused to be allowed through security because you won’t wear a face mask at the airport as requested. Stand there and say “I won’t comply” as you watch everyone else wearing face masks head for security, the departure lounge, and onto the plane. Still… East, West, Home’s Best, eh?

“Hospitals and GP surgeries
NHS England says there are no plans to end rules for face masks in hospitals and GP surgeries.
The Government states: ‘You are required to wear a face covering on entering these healthcare settings and must keep it on until you leave unless you are exempt or have a reasonable excuse for removing it.’
Care homes
Care homes are another setting which the government insists face masks must still be worn by visitors.”

Until discrimination against those who do not wish to be injected with an experimental ‘Covid vaccine’ stops, then the fraud is not over.
If Covid is ‘over’ then how comes the UK Government is bringing in the 4th and 5th jabs this year, injecting the 12.18 year olds a second time, and going to jab the 5-11 year olds a first time?

And just like that, COVID is over. Oh, and now we have the war. Seamless transition, flawless segue.

Good that the restrictions are now binned. But it was never about the restrictions per se, these were only the means to an end, which was to get the population to accept the vaccine, and by extension, the apparatus of the bio-security state. The vaccine is now fully bedded down, and the effects are rippling through the population. It’s unstoppable. Everything they wanted to achieve, on a biological level, psychological level and security level has been achieved. The population has also learned the response, and it can be switched back on in an instant with Pandemic 2.0. Now we have a new epidemic of fear to worry about, and the people are pre-prepared and conditioned. The war is about the virus. It’s the biolabs. It’s the Bidens. There is only one war going on, and its the vaccine war against the people. And it’s only getting started.

I don’t share the slam dunkery of your position. What we learned was indeed horrifying, the herd-like masses questioning nothing.

But not everyone was fooled. The leading western nations seem to have a solid 30% or so who didn’t buy it at all. Reading anecdotes from Germans and Austrians, not a people known for their reckless adherence to personal freedom, the number there was possibly 20-25% despite the official figures.

Then there’s the people who feel conned. I know a few who took the first few jabs but refused the third. Quite adamant they’re done with it.

Also don’t forget what it took to get here. Almost everything, including our economy. Propaganda is expensive. It is resource intensive too. And for many it had zero effect including people who visit this site.

Which is another effect. The rise of alt media, and the corresponding decline of legacy media. The BBC and CNN are both registering sub-1 million viewers even for “popular” programmes. That is bad in the UK and desperate for the US with 330m people.

Given the level of propaganda thrown at us we are far from finished. The future may look bleak but I am optimistic about our chances. They’ve clearly not fooled you into believing them and there are others like you. Freedom will prevail because that is who we are 🙂

It’s very odd the way the Covid situation has quickly morphed from being a serious concern, until very recently, to there now being “broad immunity against the virus”. And the ugly mugs of Whitty and Vallance have abruptly disappeared from our screens after being omnipresent for 2 years (hurrah!).

Have the global puppeteers realised that the mounting law suites for charges of crimes against humanity will spell their doom, and they have quietly told politicians to urgently call off the plandemic and the Great Reset, and to present the whole nightmare as a triumph?

If so they are in for a shock.

Because it is so achingly woke to do so.

2 Xmases ago – Dec19 – I opined to my extended family how irritating I thought Greta Thunberg was and how she talked absolute rubbish and needed to just get on with life as a normal teenager. To me, it was just about the most obvious case of “emperor’s new clothes” you could find, although I didn’t vocalise that.

To a man they all rounded upon me and told me she was amazing, and what was wrong with me that I could think that about her?

All of them are now triple jabbed and completely captured covidians.

Similar experience. A friend eagerly told me that I just had to watch this – “this” being Greta’s performance at the UN.

I watched in disbelief – the arrogance, the prima donna theatricality and rudeness … I thought it was so obvious that I said cheerfully, “My God, she’s appalling!”

My friend was crestfallen. He thought she was wonderful and that I would think the same.

He couldn’t wait for the jab; I refused it.

So what is it about them and what is it about me that I think the way I do and am a total outlier in doing so??

Certainly not a total outlier – there’s lots of us. I don’t like the “gullible” and “smart independent thinker” dichotomy. I don’t rely understand “them” at all. But I do not like any attempt to manipulate me.

Greta was indulging in bare-faced manipulation and I didn’t like it. When the chorus began about the “deadly new virus”, I smelt the
manipulation again (like weapons of mass destruction, etc, etc), I knew I was being pushed and I more or less automatically resisted.

Perhaps it’s as simple as not liking to be told what to think?

“Thankfully we have built huge and very significant defences over the past two years, the vaccinations… the treatments we have today, the testing capabilities we have today including the ability to genomic sequence,” he said.

Um.

The vaccinations that we commissioned did not work. They did not stop us catching Covid, nor spreading it. They are ‘claimed’ to make the illness less severe, but I have seen NO study proving this. Instead, the vaccines are admitted to have killed upwards of 2000 people, and probably many times more – not to mention the serious injuries also caused.

The lockdowns we endured did not stop Covid spreading. Instead, they brought our economy to its knees, and killed a very large number of people – five to six figures worth – due to withdrawal of medical services and other impacts

The emergency powers did not stop Covid spreading. Instead, they encouraged the police to over-react oppressively.

The treatments initially added to the fatality figures, Then the main contribution from government was to ban any effective treatment because that would undermine the requirement for the vaccine. That has probably killed in the hundreds of thousands.

The testing process, together with requirements to mask up, were probably the least damaging things the government did. They cost a huge sum, were fairly ineffective, and contributed to the economic damage as people were required to stay off work. Luckily, most of the people taking advantage of payment to stay at home were government employees, so we did have the benefit of a less well-functioning government….

If, as has been reported to be the case, it is correct that the swabs and masks were impregnated with carcinogenic toxins, the damage from which could take years to materialise, but materialise it will, then we have no way of saying categorically at the moment that these were not damaging.

I think it is not unduly controversial to say that almost every action the government took and insisted upon had some kind of damage underlying its intention – but in some cases we can’t yet predict what that damage will be and quantify its extent.

Hang on!

On March 1st without any National debate whatever Johnson and Javid are signing us up to a World Heath organisation power grab (run by China and Bill Gates, the largest donor soon to be classed as a “country by the WHO for his vast $$$$$ contribution ) whereby the WHO effectively takes over the “Sovereign” UK’s Health Policy and commits to following the WHO in all its demands.

Isn’t anybody just the least bit alarmed by handling our ‘Health Policy’ to a man like Gates – the ‘eccentric’ “vaccinate the world regardless” fanatic who also own a share in practically all our MS Media to tell us what to think?

After the last year ought we not to be just a tiny worried about where this stealth is leading?

Forced vaccinations for life anyone? Are we sleepwalking into a “Health Tyranny” nightmare led by a man committed to world population reduction and mealy worm dinners for the plebs?

All part of the Great Reset they are all committed to of course.

Yes. I heard of the prposal some time ago but now reports suggest that it is happening quicker than expected with March 1st being mentioned.

It actually explains Javid’s attempt to reassure the natives a she knows all responsibility for draconian polices can in future be passed off as those of the WHO. Johnson already take his orders from Gates as we have seen.

Perhaps it also explains Trudeau’s temporary climb down?

No UK debate of course.We need to see details and the small print but if true this is a major issue for anyone who believes in Brexit the Sovereignty of the Nation State and the rights of the individual . The Globalists believe in none of these things.

I’m not being funny – I’m being deadly serious when I say this, but can you alert GB News??? They have a bit on their website where they urge viewers to contact them with news stories. As NONE of the other legacy media and broadcasters will cover this, (and if they do it will be in the “great news” vein), GB News might be interested in this and cover it. Bit of an expose for them – Mark Dolan or Dan Wooton maybe?

Still no intention to improve the health of the country by correcting advice on diet, and mineral and vitamin deficiencies, so the drug and jab company shareholders can rest easy.
Why, exactly, is he still being described as the ‘Health Secretary’ rather than the ‘Maintenance of Ill Health Secretary’?

Permanent ill health followed by forced experimental vaccination is the Big Plan – Covid was just the trial run. Now they are even Gates giving , who controls the WHO, in charge of our Health Programme!

“Beware the First of March!”

Does no one ever read up on his history with vaccines in Africa and India and his Global Heath and Population agenda?

We must be stark staring mad!

No – Johnson wants to duck all responsibility for everything – as he has done all his life – and pass it to the UN the WHO and the WEF . – so much for Sovereignty after Brexit – we will end up not even having ‘sovereignty’ over our own bodies if he gets his way.

Ukraine is an excellent cover for their next black move against out liberties.
Trump left he WHO – he was right to do so – it is now just a tool of the Globalist Reet Agenda. No wonder they got him out of the way.

I agreed with his adoption of that policy at the time. And look how quickly Biden reversed it!

Covid-19 was the first pandemic of the internet era. And needs to be understood in that light.

Never before has a novel respiratory infectious disease been reported on in the 24-hour, global satellite new environment. An environment where there are almost infinite sources of information available almost instantly at the touch of a button to anyone so interested. With few guarantees as to the accuracy of that information, or the bona fides of those providing it or using it. And with pretty much zero context provided anywhere.

That wasn’t an environment that encouraged calm, rational, or balanced Government response.

It’s not enough to envision it not coming back. Legislation needs to be put in place to ensure it, or similar emergency powers, can never come back unless an exceptionally high threshold of danger is reached (invading troops for example) and the legislation is reviewed and voted on monthly. Possibly even weekly. With no whip.

Democracy cannot be cast aside so easily again.

Does this mean that all the face-nappy-wearing ‘measures’ in surgeries and non-surgical/infectious diseases wards of hospitals will be completely withdrawn in law, plus no more putting off patients from seeing GPs and doctors/consultants face-to-face, hoping that they’ll die off quietly instead of ‘bothering them’?

Similarly with nursing homes (as one of the few excellent DT journos, columnist Alison Pearson has stated), where they are more like gulags or prisons.

And to think most of the General Public clapped and bashed pots and pans for these so-called ‘caring professionals’. Caring my backside.

“Health Secretary Confirms Coronavirus Act Will Expire in March and Tells MPs He Does Not “Envisage” Ever Bringing it Back”
Of course the Coronavirus Act 2020 won’t ever come back. The enabling act in the 1984 Public Health Act will still be there allowing for another state of emergency to be declared in response to a ‘significant and imminent’ threat with the endless continuation enabled by supposed presence of a ‘significant and imminent’ threat assessed at 3 week intervals.

What the Health Minister has said is we will lapse our legislation ……….because we will have a new set of legislations based around a WHO Treaty.

It is imperative that the Daily Sceptic start to influence the Public of the UN WHOs intention to formulate a world treaty for the management of pandemic/plandemic response. This would effectively remove the UK governments role (and accountability) in all future responses that will frankly make Sturgeon, Starmer et als “quicker, longer, harder, more” bleats look like kindergarten babble.

New Mandatory vaccinations – with less than 100days development time , no-doubt to quicken the job already started with the Covid jabs could be forced upon us and that is not to mention the big prize….. digital biometric ID.

Other bricks are being placed in the war now… a manufactured war, financial collapse and the resultant energy and food shortages.

This is not over. In fact, it has only just started.

I think this Treaty is due for signing on the 1st May 2022, so not long to get the word out.

OK, here is my letter to my MP Caroline Lucas, whose stupid response I received yesterday, which follows. I have to write to her on paper, she has blocked my e-mail.
I wrote a two page letter on Government policy on CV vaccination and vaccine safety.
I enclosed the Pfizer Risk Management Plan, revealing the lack of safety studies.
I mentioned that I had written to her before on the spike in care home deaths when I enclosed the report from the UK Medical Freedom Alliance.
I say I am writing to alert her to the excessive number of adverse event and deaths following vaccination as proved by the Government’s own Yellow card system.
I point out that the Pfizer Risk Management Plan reveals no safety data on children, the elderly frail, the immunosuppressed, and pregnant women.
I point out that Pfizer admit no long term safety data on the vax – yet our government giving it to children.
I point out that all the constituents have not been released to the regulators.
I point out that the vaccine is unlicensed and has only conditional emergency use authorisation.
I say it is impossible to give informed consent in these circumstances.
I provide a precis of Professor Peronne’s statement to the Parliamentary hearing in Luxembourg, mentioning scientific fraud, regulatory conflicts of interest, myocarditis etc etc.
I end by saying that these are serious allegations and ask her to look into them.

She replied.
I have thoroughly examined the governments most recent Yellow card publication…I cannot find the increase in adverse events you mention.
While the vaccine can produce some mild reactions, the Yellow card clarifies that “many suspected adverse drug reactions do not have any relation to the drug or medicine…and it is often coincidental that symptoms occurred around the time of vaccination.
Turning to your point about the safety of vaccination, no safety concerns have been identified for pregnant people receiving the Pfizer vaccine. The NHS strongly recommends pregnant and breastfeeding people to get vaccinated against coronavirus.
Trials are still underway to determine the best course of action to vaccinate children under twelve, but the MHRA has confirmed the Pfizer vaccine is very effective for children aged twelve to fifteen.
I previously shared with you a resource on the safety of vaccinating the elderly, please let me know if you are unable to access the link….

I got two derisory paragraphs in reply to a letter raising serious concerns with enclosed evidence. It is appalling.

I think I will write back saying that I identify as a woman and my sensibilities are offended when the appropriate words are not used. I will ask her to refer to me as a woman of the female sex, not gender, and to use the term pregnant and breastfeeding women.
I will say these are my preferred terms and any others are discriminatory and offensive to me. I am sure she will need to take my preferences into account.

This is even more dangerous, and probably the sole reason why they are all reducing the ‘temperature’ a bit, temporarily.

“WHO is World Government. Power grab scheduled for May 1, 2022. With “relaxations” you are being framed.

“The fact that they are suddenly distancing themselves from restrictions is just a game. The last week of January 2022 WHO held an emergency meeting and deliberations in Geneva on expanding its powers to take over all member states in the event of a pandemic and “any other form of threat or disaster”. WHO wants member states to sign a new treaty on Covid-19, which expands the 2005 treaty. Once signed by the Ministers of Health, the WHO Constitution (according to its Article 9) takes precedence over a country’s constitution (189 countries have signed the 2005 treaty) during natural disasters or pandemics. Since the definition of pandemic was changed a few years ago (cases based on the PCR test), they can enforce obedience in any country and impose WHO guidelines on the public, which will be mandatory, not just recommended. And that sounds like power over the country and the world.” 

Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger, who has worked for the WHO for 20 years, warns that every country should send a public letter of protest to the WHO. “Governments” should draft a letter stating that the people do not accept that the signature of the Minister of Health can decide the fate of millions of people without a referendum. It is very important to send this letter from every country to the WHO in Geneva. WHO wants all countries to implement the measures by May 2022. Dr. Stuckelberger shared the information that so far, only the Russians have sent such a rejection letter!”

Here is the interview with “Sasha” on Hedley Rees’s substack.

Important interview from an industry insider discussing the design and trialling of these vaxxines. Many important points on the strange process of allowing these on to the market, into the military, and the adverse events and possible fraud.

“Sasha” helped Senator Jonson draft his letter to Senate on the vaxxes.

Also working on the role of the EMA FOIs and lawsuits.

Leaked e-mails showing conspiracy to subvert normal approval process to meet a specific deadline.

Many important points. She calls them “bioweapons” Please watch.
Thanks to Jo for pointing me in this direction

To the docile general public, they might think this is cause for celebration (or to weep in fear as a braindead covidian), but those paying attention know that any removal of covid legislation will be replaced permanently by the new human rights bill.

They are trying to jab as many people as possible so that their great reset aka depopulation plan work. If I get sick I will take my Ivermectin that I stashed just in case and leave rest to God. When i searched where I can get ivm on google I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for. Every search query was censored. If I can save 1 person that will use this product instead of going to icu and plugged into ventilators that will burst her/his lungs. that is enough for me. I feel good when I put a spoke in big pharma’s wheel. If you want to get Ivermectin you can visit https://ivmpharmacy.com

Just letting the legislation lapse and forgetting about it will not do. We need new legislative safeguards against Governments, including the devolved ones, being able to ride roughshod over civil liberties without any constitutional pushback. Interestingly a health emergency is listed as a Rights qualifications in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but its authors were influenced by the 1918 Spanish flu. Before the next crisis, we need to know what Governments can and can not do and in what circumstances. MPs should get to wotk on proposals right away instead of acting as doormats.

They no longer need the Act. They have moved on. The NHS App failed for tracing, but the Phoenix will arise shortly; we will have to have the NHS App to access all and any NHS services, so your NHS No. will by default become your digital ID. It is well advanced; they have been preparing this for a long time and Covid was and still is the perfect excuse. It will be put across as for our health and safety and a cost saving so ‘our’ NHS can better serve us, but it is really about control.

Would you trust this man who stated build back better at the end of his comeback speech! A government that went ahead and locked us down some 4 days after declassifying Covid from HCID giving the reason as the disease had a low mortality rate. This government its entire cabinet and SAGE should be held accountable for treason no less. This was deliberate, and their words are meaningless. No one trusts them.

As the so-called vaccines are only authorised for use in an emergency, presumably this means they can no longer continue jabbing?

Even the emergency authorization is invalid if the supposed vaccine does not reduce infection by at least 50%, which these experimental gene-meddling jabs do not do. On the contrary, the latest data is that they promote infection. And as for ‘breaking the link between infections and serious disease’, for everyone except the extremely frail-elderly or already critically ill, such a link never existed. Ferguson, Drosten et al tried exactly the same jab-scam with the swine flu in 2009. They didn’t get away with it that time. Wotarg and others stopped them. Three years later, jabbed children began dropping asleep on their feet with narcolepsy. With the cvd jab, Ferguson and Drosten have got away with it. Like the banksters of 2008, they’ve brought off a scam Lex Luthor wouldn’t have attempted. One factor that prompted them to try again was a lack of fear of the consequences for them personally if they got caught. Were they wise? I would not want to be Ferguson or Drosten if children start dying of these jabs in a year or two’s time.
