thelibertybeacon--2020-07-02--Overwhelming support for Putin’s constitution changes a wake-up call for Westerners who claim Russia

ER Editor : Russia has recently undergone seven days of voting on over 200 proposed changes to its constitution , which finished yesterday , July 1 .
Of general note about the Russian constitution : It ’ s no wonder then that the Western media ignores more than 200 proposed changes to the Russian Constitution and only focuses on the one that may allow Vladimir Putin run for president again , if he wishes to do so .
“ ‘ Putin wants to be Tsar for life ’ – that makes headlines , everyone understands that and if you go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get bored , ” McCauley pointed out .
But the week-long vote on constitutional amendments , which concludes on Wednesday , is actually bigger than the figure of the country ’ s president , McCauley said .
The Constitution of the Tsarist Russia in 1906 was based on French principal law , while the 1993 Constitution , adopted under then-President Boris Yeltsin , mainly drew from American ideas .
With this constitution , it ’ s the first one in Russian history , which concentrates thinking about Russia ; it ’ s Russia-centered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russian constitution , ” the analyst said .
We recommend watching this accompanying RT video below because Martin Macauley briefly explains how important it is that the new constitution puts Russian law ahead of international law , and what other protections the constitution puts in place against foreign takeover , of which Russia has had so much over the last century : See also Russians vote in favor of changes to constitution enabling Putin to remain as president until 2036 – exit polls : The 206 amendments range from social issues like pensions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one that has received most media attention redefines eligibility for the presidency .
In theory , it would allow President Vladimir Putin to run for office two more times , potentially staying in power until 2036 .
Other changes include the regular indexation of pensions for inflation and a guaranteed minimum wage above subsistence level ; the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman ; a ban on top government officials from holding foreign passports ; and restricting future presidents to serving only two terms .
There was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including a mention of God , in regards to the country ’ s heritage .
The newly-amended constitution also marks a slight shift away from the hyper-presidential system , introduced by former President Boris Yeltsin in 1993 .
By redistributing some powers to other government organs , both Russia ’ s lower and upper houses of parliament now have the opportunity to propose and approve of certain officials .
Further , Russia has come a long way since 1993 ; Putin ’ s constitutional changes reflect the needs of a revitalized state .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the current 1993 Constitution , and what are the reasons behind the proposed amendments ?
The answers can be found in the circumstances under which President Boris Yeltsin ’ s document came into effect and in the major transformation that Russia has undergone since then .
First of all , it is necessary to stress that Russia in 1993 and Russia in 2020 are essentially two different countries .
In 1993 , it was a bleak shadow of the Soviet Union , with a grim present and uncertain future .
Yeltsin , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kozyrev and other liberal-minded members of his team , were doggedly pushing their country into the American sphere of influence .
It , therefore , comes as no surprise that Yeltsin ’ s Constitution – adopted just two months after his team ’ s undemocratic usurpation of power ( by means of shelling and storming the parliament during the October putsch ) – wasn ’ t fit for its purpose as the supreme law of a great power .
Instead , it legitimized the servicing of Western elites and Washington in particular .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been tragic for Russia , as it descended into a decade of lawlessness , poverty , and war .
Overwhelming support for Putin ’ s constitution changes a wake-up call for Westerners who claim Russian system is bound to collapse The outcome of Russia ’ s ‘ national vote ’ on a series of amendments to the constitution serves to reaffirm that most Russians want the country to plow its own furrow , regardless of what outsiders think .
Even Moscow liberal political organizers conceded that their own exit polls showed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proposals .
What ’ s more , those tallies revealed how a majority of voters in numerous Moscow districts with opposition-controlled local councils had backed the ‘ yes ’ side .
One thing forgotten in almost all Western speculation about the process ( erroneously labeled a ‘ referendum ’ by some US/UK media ) was that it wasn ’ t strictly necessary at all .
The backing Putin obtained in spring from the Duma ( parliament ) , the Constitutional Court , and all 85 federal subjects sufficed .
However , the President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ to obtain broad public legitimacy for his project .
Thus , the vote itself was mostly about establishing whether Putin still has a popular mandate to uphold his domination of Russian politics .
It had been a curious ‘ campaign , ’ with most prominent opponents of the Kremlin relatively muted .
Indeed , the half-inside-the-tent Communist Party was an outlier in being more vocal and forthright than usual , emphatically calling for a ‘ no ’ vote .
Veteran leader Gennady Zyuganov dubbed it “ disappointing and depressing.
” Alexei Navalny @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” in January , saying it contained “ the mechanisms used to usurp power ” and telling his supporters “ do not defend it.
” That document dated back to 1993 , when then-President Boris Yeltsin introduced it – with Western support – to create a “ hyper-presidential ” system .
It came after the Communist-controlled parliament attempted to impeach the pro-Western leader , and he resorted to military force to hold onto power , which led to 187 people killed and 437 wounded .
On Wednesday evening , a protest in downtown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that police handed out masks to the demonstrators , with Covid-19 in mind .
Hardly the rough arm of the state crushing resistance .
A handful of dissenters who gathered on Red Square , without permission , were detained and then swiftly released .
In truth , the Kremlin had left the opposition with a thankless task .
While they opposed the plan to nullify Putin ’ s term limits , a lot of popular measures included were difficult to oppose without offending large swaths of voters : for instance , civil servants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and citizenship , a ban on giving away any Russian territory , and a guarantee that the minimum wage will not be lower than the cost of living .
Like it or not , some people were also attracted by the clause banning same-sex marriage and another one saying ethnic Russians are to be recognized as the founders of the state .
Another popular change was the provision recognizing the modern Russian Federation as the successor to the USSR and preserving its legacy as the victor in WWII , fueling the sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue is that polls have consistently shown a majority of Russians actually want Putin to remain in power after the 2024 election .
Only last summer , Levada ( a Western-leaning pollster independent of the Kremlin ) found that 54 percent of Russians would like him to stay on until at least 2030 .
Only 38 percent wanted him out four years from now .
Western media coverage of the process has been rather bizarre , focusing almost solely on the Putin term-limits issue while ignoring or glossing over the fact that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his system .
Once upon a time , this was attributed to the power of ‘ state TV , ’ but today , when the internet is beginning to overtake the zombie box as the primary source of news , that unsophisticated trope is clearly redundant .
Russia is not a dictatorship , and Putin is not a dictator .
The setup is ‘ soft ’ authoritarian and it relies on the consent of the majority to keep power .
The provisions in the new constitution – most notably term limits for future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also suggest the president wants to continue with a form of representative government .
The Kremlin is clearly not trying to go down the Chinese or Soviet route , but also doesn ’ t want to embrace western-style ‘ liberal democracy.
’ Much as Russia itself is both in Europe and Asia but truly ‘ of ’ neither , its government structure and electoral procedures are also clearly going to remain somewhat unique .
After Wednesday ’ s vote , it ’ s evidently what most Russians themselves want .
At least for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , expect the endless US/UK media headlines predicting Russia ’ s imminent collapse to keep coming .
For over twenty years , they have been consistently wrong , and they ’ ll almost certainly be inaccurate for at least twenty more .

ER Editor: Russia has recently undergone seven days of voting on over 200 proposed changes to its constitution, which finished yesterday, July 1. Of general note about the Russian constitution:
Previous Russian constitutions were either inspired or influenced by foreign legislators, but the amendments that the country is voting on are truly “Russia-centered,” political analyst Martin McCauley told RT.
It’s no wonder then that the Western media ignores more than 200 proposed changes to the Russian Constitution and only focuses on the one that may allow Vladimir Putin run for president again, if he wishes to do so. “‘Putin wants to be Tsar for life’ – that makes headlines, everyone understands that and if you go into the details of constitutional law people get bored,” McCauley pointed out. But the week-long vote on constitutional amendments, which concludes on Wednesday, is actually bigger than the figure of the country’s president, McCauley said. The Constitution of the Tsarist Russia in 1906 was based on French principal law, while the 1993 Constitution, adopted under then-President Boris Yeltsin, mainly drew from American ideas. With this constitution, it’s the first one in Russian history, which concentrates thinking about Russia; it’s Russia-centered and therefore it’s truly a Russian constitution,” the analyst said. We recommend watching this accompanying RT video below because Martin Macauley briefly explains how important it is that the new constitution puts Russian law ahead of international law, and what other protections the constitution puts in place against foreign takeover, of which Russia has had so much over the last century:
See also Russians vote in favor of changes to constitution enabling Putin to remain as president until 2036 – exit polls:
The 206 amendments range from social issues like pensions to rules for government officials. The one that has received most media attention redefines eligibility for the presidency. In theory, it would allow President Vladimir Putin to run for office two more times, potentially staying in power until 2036. … Other changes include the regular indexation of pensions for inflation and a guaranteed minimum wage above subsistence level; the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman; a ban on top government officials from holding foreign passports; and restricting future presidents to serving only two terms. There was some controversy about the new constitution also including a mention of God, in regards to the country’s heritage. The newly-amended constitution also marks a slight shift away from the hyper-presidential system, introduced by former President Boris Yeltsin in 1993. By redistributing some powers to other government organs, both Russia’s lower and upper houses of parliament now have the opportunity to propose and approve of certain officials.
Further, Russia has come a long way since 1993; Putin’s constitutional changes reflect the needs of a revitalized state. Of note:
Russia’s ‘super-presidential’ 1993 Constitution was forged in blood after violent upheaval, at a time when the country was on its knees. It is logical that it would be revisited when modern Russia had finally come of age.
What is so problematic with the current 1993 Constitution, and what are the reasons behind the proposed amendments? The answers can be found in the circumstances under which President Boris Yeltsin’s document came into effect and in the major transformation that Russia has undergone since then. First of all, it is necessary to stress that Russia in 1993 and Russia in 2020 are essentially two different countries. In 1993, it was a bleak shadow of the Soviet Union, with a grim present and uncertain future. Yeltsin, along with Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrey Kozyrev and other liberal-minded members of his team, were doggedly pushing their country into the American sphere of influence. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that Yeltsin’s Constitution – adopted just two months after his team’s undemocratic usurpation of power (by means of shelling and storming the parliament during the October putsch) – wasn’t fit for its purpose as the supreme law of a great power. Instead, it legitimized the servicing of Western elites and Washington in particular. The widely known consequences of such policies had been tragic for Russia, as it descended into a decade of lawlessness, poverty, and war.

Overwhelming support for Putin’s constitution changes a wake-up call for Westerners who claim Russian system is bound to collapse
The outcome of Russia’s ‘national vote’ on a series of amendments to the constitution serves to reaffirm that most Russians want the country to plow its own furrow, regardless of what outsiders think.
In the end, the margin was huge. Exit polls suggested around 70 percent of voters said ‘yes’ to 206 amendments to their constitution, and close to 30 percent rejected the changes. Official results put the ‘yes’ vote to above 78 percent, with 99 percent of ballots counted.

Even Moscow liberal political organizers conceded that their own exit polls showed the capital had supported Vladimir Putin’s proposals. What’s more, those tallies revealed how a majority of voters in numerous Moscow districts with opposition-controlled local councils had backed the ‘yes’ side. One thing forgotten in almost all Western speculation about the process (erroneously labeled a ‘referendum’ by some US/UK media) was that it wasn’t strictly necessary at all. The backing Putin obtained in spring from the Duma (parliament), the Constitutional Court, and all 85 federal subjects sufficed. However, the President decided to stage a ‘confirmatory plebiscite’ to obtain broad public legitimacy for his project. Thus, the vote itself was mostly about establishing whether Putin still has a popular mandate to uphold his domination of Russian politics.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-02--The World Through the Eyes of a Globalist

Our voyage has begun .
I should warn you , gentle reader , before we go all the way through that door .
When we return you may feel queasy , with an urge to take a bath .
Do not be alarmed .
This comes with the territory .
So you are a globalist .
You were born to wealth and real privilege , educated at Harvard ( or Yale or Columbia ) .
You came of age assuming that as one of the blue bloods , your destiny is to help shape the new world order to come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This doesn ’ t bother you .
If visibility should come your way , you ’ ll accept it .
But you ’ re not preoccupied with it .
You see no reason to seek it out .
More gets from behind the curtain , anyway .
You ’ re in awe , admittedly , of the wealth accumulated by such dynasties as the Rothschilds , how they managed to drop from sight over a century ago and remain hidden — not on lists of the rich such as Forbes publishes — despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ central banks they control and hundreds of “ shell ” corporations whose managers have no idea , because many in the dynasty don ’ t use that name .
You are properly disdainful of the masses .
Like your fellow globalists you don ’ t see them as more than cattle , fit to be caged in work cubicles and ruled .
But you ’ ve noticed , even from their inferior genes come , every so often , intelligent men and a few women with the right attitude .
Such individuals can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tested for their reaction when they learn how the world really works , and if they pass the test , trained .
The rest — with their gleeful mass consumption , their addictions to screens , their adulation of celebrities and sports icons , their blind adherence to religion or ideology whether “ left ” or “ right ” — leave you singularly unimpressed .
Most you can barely tell apart since they dress , wear their hair , and talk the same , as members of various tribes .
Tribalism , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our natural state , and you ’ ve no cause to doubt it .
A few idealistic intellectuals once thought they could transcend tribes with their god Reason .
They called this the Enlightenment , which had its uses .
But here we are back again .
You look at society and you see tribes .
If you ’ re anything , you ’ re a realist .
Since the masses act like cattle , why not treat them like cattle ?
At some point , you might be one of the people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who dies , as the crisis your superiors did so much to engineer and then to hide inside continues to unfold : the genetically-engineered coronavirus , the planned-emic , the fomented racial unrest , the cancellation of history through programmed destruction of monuments to it .
Fairytales like “ white privilege.
” Whatever divides , helps , because when groups are at each other ’ s throats over “ microaggressions ” and “ racism ” or trans-confusion or whatever , they ’ re not watching you .
Are you a sociopath ?
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the question , but you don ’ t think it has much meaning .
You were raised as you were , you know what you know , and you do what you have to .
You can empathize with your own , you think , but who knows ?
You tell your wife you love her , and she was picked for you because she ’ s good stock , too , but should she make the slightest wrong move , or show too much curiosity about what you do during the day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time than it takes to say ‘ divorce ’ .
And without the niceties of a division of assets .
You have superiors who ’ ll cut you out in the same way if you display weakness or remorse or guilt , especially for the fate of the cattle .
This you also know .
Superior breeding , intelligence , and strength of will got them where they are , and yours hasn ’ t hurt you any .
If anything , you think those some call sociopaths might be a superior breed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emotional cravings after ethics are signs of weakness and stupidity .
The cattle are as they are because they believe that stuff .
You believe in Hegelian dialectic because you ’ ve seen it used .
Crisis  Reaction  Response .
Foment a crisis , or through inaction at the right time , allow one to develop .
The crisis prompts a predictable reaction .
As things come to a head , your political groupies move in with the response that was wanted all along , and it usually comes hassle-free .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cattle lap it up like warm milk .
The crisis could be a planned terror attack or a threat of war or an economic downturn or the planned-emic .
What you hear from the cattle is that collective cry , “ Do something !
” So you and your fellows do something , and what you do brings you greater control .
It could be funneling money to support a policy decision that will lead to more centralization and dominance .
Or supporting a candidate who will do your bidding because he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he doesn ’ t .
Or it could be going to war against a designated target , someone in the way of globalist goals .
If the masses are told they ’ re in danger , and that destroying your enemy will restore their safety , they ’ ll go along , because as you and your fellow globalists have understood from the start , they want safety more than freedom .
That was the core failing of those who founded the country you grew up in but no longer recognize , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They believed more than a tiny minority of the human race are suited for freedom .
Several of those ideals once presented the greatest potential roadblock to you and your superiors ’ goals for the world .
But that was long ago .
Now things are falling apart , and you ’ re satisfied as you watch the mayhem in the streets .
What strikes you as funny is how the few who notice what you do are so easily labeled “ conspiracy theorists ” and how this totally shuts discussion down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or in the Washington Post , it has to be true , after all .
Would these outlets lie to their readers ?
Even more amusing is how some kool-aid drinkers among the cattle police the herd without your help .
You ’ ve seen this over and over on Internet forums , especially those attached to city newspapers .
There ’ s usually some cyberbully , usually more liberal than thou , with fake superiority who calls out the “ conspiracy nuts , ” and he keeps the rabble in line without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s serving .
Because conspiracies by definition are hidden .
You and your superiors aren ’ t hiding .
You haven ’ t been hiding for decades .
Some of your predecessors wrote books about globalist proposals for the world .
They had major publishers with regular distribution networks .
Visibility in financial media .
Part of you wants to ask , is the World Economic Forum hidden from anyone ?
Or this , about the Great Reset , as they call the purpose of this crisis , right there on YouTube @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
You understand that the way to control the minds of the masses is to control the information that reaches them .
This , too , was discovered long ago .
Hence sending their children to public schools to learn “ subjects ” crafted to specification while they acquired habits of regimentation and attitudes of subservience to authority .
The way to control their bodies is through economics , which is based on incentives .
Everything in this world follows its food supply , and secondarily , the need for warmth and safety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buy food and pay for shelter , and they can be led by their noses with sex appeal .
Corporate machinations determine what jobs are available and in what quantities .
It wasn ’ t hard to drive the bulk of the public into employment of one sort of another , because employment meant dependence .
Advertising drives them to consume , so the economic engine keeps humming .
Schools tell them they are free , of course , because they can vote every two and four years for candidates you and your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most cases .
Trump was an odd case , but your superiors have partially bent him to their will .
All this said , you and your fellow globalists are not gods , and you don ’ t view yourselves as gods .
There are no gods any more than there are ghosts , goblins , ghouls , poltergeists , or space aliens .
You ’ re just a superior breed of human , that ’ s all .
You blue bloods tamed emotions the masses can ’ t tame , while focusing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technological tools , and getting everyone and everything into alignment .
Speaking of Trump , he and a few others monkeywrenched things a little .
Fortunately , most of what Trump has actually done benefited the very corporations serving your superiors — as if he actually knew who had been buttering his bread all along ( his commerce secretary , Wilber Ross , who helped him out of a financial jam years ago , is a Rothschild agent , after all ) .
And it ’ s not like he was going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought he was going to oppose globalism , he was opposing something that was 90 percent finished .
But getting back to the godhood question… .
You ’ re not gods because God , if He really existed , wouldn ’ t make mistakes , and you globalists have made some epic blunders over the years .
You made basically the same mistake twice , in fact !
Letting a technology get away from you .
Back in the 1960s , your predecessors let television get away .
Television , that new and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sports fans , that instrument for communicating propaganda passed off as news , and a source of revenue for companies great and small who threw millions into commercial ads that supported programming that would condition viewers to what your predecessors wanted them to think .
But they let parts of it get away from them .
It ’ s a cultural cesspool now , but back then , the ship had sailed .
The mistake was permitting boots-on-the-ground coverage of what was really going on in Vietnam .
Kids saw the bodybags and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a generation came of age telling each other , “ We ’ re not doing this anymore !
” They would have sent a man to the White House to stop that war , which your predecessors wanted badly .
A couple of their jackals took him out , just like a different group took out his brother five years earlier , but it was too late .
The movement survived and ended that war prematurely .
It wasn ’ t economically feasible to continue fighting it .
It took a long time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where it had been .
Globalism lost valuable time !
Then , more recently , your fellows let the Internet slip through their fingers !
Originally a DARPA creation , this work of genius programmed computers to “ talk to one another ” within the burgeoning communications grid .
It migrated from government to computer science labs in universities and from there , slow but sure , to dissident voices who hadn ’ t had such platforms before .
It also made its way to the masses .
Some turned it into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for others — refuseniks , you call them — it was an oasis of “ free speech ” and they made full use of it .
Some were clever and gathered a lot of essentially truthful information about what you and your fellows have been up to all these years and decades .
The “ conspiracy ” meme worked somewhat but didn ’ t carry the same weight it once had .
So your minions seeded it with all manner of bogus information and confusion and false rabbit trails .
Sometimes — proving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you suppose — they pushed stuff that was outright idiotic , such as the Earth being flat and this being science ’ s darkest secret and the devil ’ s greatest triumph after convincing the world he doesn ’ t exist .
Here your generation came in .
Part of your work involves creating content that distracts and confuses .
You love your work .
Because you can endlessly play mind games with truthseekers .
Even if there isn ’ t any way to prevent some truth from getting out ( such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Eastern nation with Washington ’ s most powerful lobby in 9/11 ) , you and your fellows can see to it that even intelligent and discerning researchers have a hard time telling what is true from what isn ’ t .
Helping your cause is the sheer quantity of information , whether about historical events or more recent ones such as the 9/11 attacks , or even the 2008 financial crisis where you could confuse and misdirect to so people would look at unqualified loan recipients instead of manipulative Wall Streeters and their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that discussions of the latter were so complex and technical , as well as written in extremely dry language , so the average reader would quickly get bored and give up .
But when all is said and done , even though you helped create the post-truth world we live in now , it wasn ’ t enough .
Some of the refuseniks got organized !
A Global Populist Revolt was at hand !
It started slow and fractured and ultimately compromised , like Occupy Wall Street and Arab Spring .
But with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Revolt grew sharper teeth , since even if Trump was basically an asshole and had all kinds of vulnerabilities , his command of all the major media was so superior and his opponents so weak that no one really stood a chance against him back in 2016 .
It would have been too risky to just take him out , like your predecessors did those two brothers all those years ago .
Hotheads among his supporters would have blown the lid off .
So you made the best of it , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinton self-sabotaged with her idiotic “ baskets of deplorables ” remark and blew the election !
Clinton , who had destroyed two countries almost singlehandedly ( Libya and Honduras ) , would have been perfect at blending the drums of war with fanning the flames of black vs white , male vs female , straight vs gay , all helping distract from the looming financial catastrophe your fellows ’ central bankers were busy engineering behind the scenes to prepare for the Great Reset .
Now you had a problem on your hands !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ awake ( not “ woke ” ) .
They didn ’ t buy “ Russia-gate ” ( God , how you hate such terms ! )
.
Nor did they buy “ Ukraine-gate ” which would be your Democrat Party servants ’ last straightforward gambit for getting Trump out of office .
Nor were they buying into the man-made climate change narrative .
But you globalists are nothing if not smart , and with tremendous foresight .
Some of you had been anticipating just such possibilities , having funneled millions into coronavirus research @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where nobody in the West would notice .
It would be necessary to crush the Populists and refuseniks !
Enter the “ novel ” coronavirus .
And how the Chinese Communist Party also played it smart doing your bidding , keeping the lid on until global travel ensured that the virus would spread and start infecting vulnerable populations , laying the groundwork for a broader panic : your planned-emic .
Your servants in governments closed borders , locked down economies forcibly closing thousands of small businesses , while slamming corporate media viewers with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch death numbers rack up .
The start of the greatest redistribution of wealth upwards in world history !
Then came the George Floyd riots , which some of you helped orchestrate — brilliant moves to increase the general level of mayhem and distraction .
Through the wrecked businesses and ruined lives you hear the cries of “ do something !
” You and your superiors are counting on this .
A few of you are saying almost visibly that only a world government can address this pandemic — which has certainly caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phrases like “ global problems call for global solutions.
” They weren ’ t personally threatened by climate change like they are getting sick and dying , and that ’ s the key .
The object lesson is that the masses have to feel fear personally .
They have to believe they or those they care about or things they care about are in danger , otherwise they won ’ t get with the program .
Now it ’ s appropriate to use TV to show bodybags and rows of graves !
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and your fellow globalists have to get rid of physical cash and digitize everything .
Tell the masses that cash could spread the virus , not just that drug dealers , child traffickers , and other forms of lowlife scum use physical cash .
Since most people have never seen a child trafficker or drug lord , again that ’ s not personal enough .
Eventually you ’ ll criminalize cash transactions that aren ’ t recorded digitally and can ’ t be monitored .
Once your financial grid is set , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has what , where they are getting it and how , what they are doing with it , and whether there ’ s anything suspicious going on .
Your ideal is for the masses to have credit chips implanted in them , perhaps between the thumb and index finger of their left hand .
A global ID .
Everybody ’ s birth and parentage records , educational records , employment records , health records , and financial transactions , all in one place !
Nothing will any more get lost , nothing will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the people that identity theft is a thing of the past .
Some still won ’ t go along , of course .
Refuseniks , ideological descendants of those who rejected modernity , don ’ t trust authority , and would live like savages rather than enjoy the benefits of the new world order you globalists offer .
This is not a choice , though .
Your superiors ’ offer isn ’ t coming with an opt-out button .
You ’ re not sure what ’ s in the offing , because such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you don ’ t need to know .
You realize there are things you don ’ t know .
You know your immediate superiors who brought you to where you are , and you know the higher-ups past them reach up through Wall Street corporations and City of London enclaves , past central banks and Bank of International Settlements and Davos culture , past even Those You Can ’ t Criticize to still higher “ alchemists ” of power .
And they might be answering to someone above them .
There may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much less peer behind .
Maybe someday you ’ ll be invited to gatherings in the “ grove ” if you perform well .
But where does this go ?
You ’ ve had a few uneasy thoughts you ’ ve always been able to push away .
One thing you know : no one leaves this life except in a box .
A few tried .
They regretted it .
A handful tried to tell their tale .
They discovered the truth : no one believed them .
They became laughingstocks , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sidewalks bearing signs and wailing through bad teeth that the end of the world is at hand .
As to what ’ s planned for the refusenik brigades , it ’ s sure to be something nastier than this planned-emic was .
This coronavirus wasn ’ t lethal except for certain groups like the elderly that can ’ t contribute to the global economy anyway and might as well be eliminated .
Some 80 percent of everyone else infected got over it .
Rough estimate .
You ’ ve heard rumors , though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , like he was talking about a mere possibility — of something waiting in the wings that will be lethal .
Something able to wipe out not a few million but a few billion .
Maybe reduce the world ’ s population by well over half , given that many who survive the plague will die in food riots , croak from heart attacks , OD on drugs , or commit suicide .
Many may simply starve to death .
You remember reading back in 2005 that Terry Schiavo , the disabled brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ water for 13 days after she was unplugged from life support .
You wince a little as you imagine someone mostly healthy and with normal cognition going maybe longer without food , wandering to find it anywhere he can , failing because there isn ’ t any food , then collapsing and doubling up in agony because his stomach and small intestines are starting to digest themselves— Sometimes you think you can empathize after all , and you ’ re deathly afraid it will show at some point… .
You ’ re a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above such things .
Less population is a good thing .
As the Georgia Guidestones say , no more than 500 million is the ideal .
With more and more robotics coming , there ’ s going to be less work for people to do .
Are your servants in governments really supposed to pay Universal Basic Income to masses who will lay around and play video games all day for the rest of their lives ?
You ’ re thinking : supply them with Huxleyan soma .
Eventually , as your co-opted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technology into the developing fetal brain ( or the brain into the technosphere ! )
, you ’ ll be able to go well beyond what Huxley envisioned .
You ’ ll be able to program whole populations so they ’ re born to the status you want for them , and be both physically and mentally unable to question it .
Resistance is futile , and all that… .
So there you are .
This is your world — and the world to come .
A world with a single governing structure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or not ; a single world marketplace dominated by corporations some of your superiors own and control , with employment for those who got with the program ; maybe a single religion of humanity ( something one of your heroes , sociology-founder Auguste Comte , promoted ) and whatever spiritualism and woo the masses want to mix into it ( you and your superiors don ’ t care just so it isn ’ t Christianity ) .
Things are going well enough that your superiors think they ’ ll have the basics in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many people actually did fall in line behind the COVID-19 scare , you ’ re thinking this as well .
There ’ s a document out there in plain view citing that year , with silly stuff about things like eradicating poverty .
You know your superiors don ’ t care about eradicating poverty , but such sentiments play to the emotions of those you want to influence .
Even the more intelligent of the masses are still , after all , creatures of emotion .
Their primary emotions being fear , greed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ superiors , and their predecessors have known for decades how to incentivize most of them .
As for the refuseniks ?
In time , they ’ ll be dealt with— Well , gentle reader , we ’ ve looked at the world — your world — through the eyes of a globalist .

Our voyage has begun. I should warn you, gentle reader, before we go all the way through that door. When we return you may feel queasy, with an urge to take a bath. Do not be alarmed. This comes with the territory.
So you are a globalist. You were born to wealth and real privilege, educated at Harvard (or Yale or Columbia). You came of age assuming that as one of the blue bloods, your destiny is to help shape the new world order to come. Your name may be unknown. This doesn’t bother you. If visibility should come your way, you’ll accept it. But you’re not preoccupied with it. You see no reason to seek it out. More gets from behind the curtain, anyway.
You’re in awe, admittedly, of the wealth accumulated by such dynasties as the Rothschilds, how they managed to drop from sight over a century ago and remain hidden — not on lists of the rich such as Forbes publishes — despite their absolute lock on trillions through the central banks they control and hundreds of “shell” corporations whose managers have no idea, because many in the dynasty don’t use that name.
You are properly disdainful of the masses. Like your fellow globalists you don’t see them as more than cattle, fit to be caged in work cubicles and ruled. But you’ve noticed, even from their inferior genes come, every so often, intelligent men and a few women with the right attitude. Such individuals can be plucked from the mass environment, tested for their reaction when they learn how the world really works, and if they pass the test, trained. The rest — with their gleeful mass consumption, their addictions to screens, their adulation of celebrities and sports icons, their blind adherence to religion or ideology whether “left” or “right” — leave you singularly unimpressed. Most you can barely tell apart since they dress, wear their hair, and talk the same, as members of various tribes. Tribalism, you were told as a child, is our natural state, and you’ve no cause to doubt it. A few idealistic intellectuals once thought they could transcend tribes with their god Reason. They called this the Enlightenment, which had its uses. But here we are back again. You look at society and you see tribes.
If you’re anything, you’re a realist. Since the masses act like cattle, why not treat them like cattle? At some point, you might be one of the people who gets to decide who lives and who dies, as the crisis your superiors did so much to engineer and then to hide inside continues to unfold: the genetically-engineered coronavirus, the planned-emic, the fomented racial unrest, the cancellation of history through programmed destruction of monuments to it. Fairytales like “white privilege.” Whatever divides, helps, because when groups are at each other’s throats over “microaggressions” and “racism” or trans-confusion or whatever, they’re not watching you.
Are you a sociopath? You don’t know. You understand the question, but you don’t think it has much meaning. You were raised as you were, you know what you know, and you do what you have to. You can empathize with your own, you think, but who knows? You tell your wife you love her, and she was picked for you because she’s good stock, too, but should she make the slightest wrong move, or show too much curiosity about what you do during the day, she’s gone in less time than it takes to say ‘divorce’. And without the niceties of a division of assets.
You have superiors who’ll cut you out in the same way if you display weakness or remorse or guilt, especially for the fate of the cattle. This you also know. Superior breeding, intelligence, and strength of will got them where they are, and yours hasn’t hurt you any. If anything, you think those some call sociopaths might be a superior breed of human. To your superiors, emotional cravings after ethics are signs of weakness and stupidity. The cattle are as they are because they believe that stuff.
You believe in Hegelian dialectic because you’ve seen it used. Crisis  Reaction  Response. Foment a crisis, or through inaction at the right time, allow one to develop. The crisis prompts a predictable reaction. As things come to a head, your political groupies move in with the response that was wanted all along, and it usually comes hassle-free. Your media mouthpieces praise it. The cattle lap it up like warm milk. The crisis could be a planned terror attack or a threat of war or an economic downturn or the planned-emic. What you hear from the cattle is that collective cry, “Do something!”
So you and your fellows do something, and what you do brings you greater control. It could be funneling money to support a policy decision that will lead to more centralization and dominance. Or supporting a candidate who will do your bidding because he’s afraid of what will happen if he doesn’t.
Or it could be going to war against a designated target, someone in the way of globalist goals. If the masses are told they’re in danger, and that destroying your enemy will restore their safety, they’ll go along, because as you and your fellow globalists have understood from the start, they want safety more than freedom. That was the core failing of those who founded the country you grew up in but no longer recognize, so completely have its founding principles been dismantled. They believed more than a tiny minority of the human race are suited for freedom. Several of those ideals once presented the greatest potential roadblock to you and your superiors’ goals for the world. But that was long ago. Now things are falling apart, and you’re satisfied as you watch the mayhem in the streets.
What strikes you as funny is how the few who notice what you do are so easily labeled “conspiracy theorists” and how this totally shuts discussion down. If it’s on CNN or in the Washington Post, it has to be true, after all. Would these outlets lie to their readers? Even more amusing is how some kool-aid drinkers among the cattle police the herd without your help. You’ve seen this over and over on Internet forums, especially those attached to city newspapers. There’s usually some cyberbully, usually more liberal than thou, with fake superiority who calls out the “conspiracy nuts,” and he keeps the rabble in line without having the slightest idea whose interests he’s serving.
Sometimes you can’t stop laughing.
Because conspiracies by definition are hidden. You and your superiors aren’t hiding. You haven’t been hiding for decades. Some of your predecessors wrote books about globalist proposals for the world. They had major publishers with regular distribution networks. Visibility in financial media. Part of you wants to ask, is the World Economic Forum hidden from anyone? Or this, about the Great Reset, as they call the purpose of this crisis, right there on YouTube with all those links to more information?
You understand that the way to control the minds of the masses is to control the information that reaches them. This, too, was discovered long ago. Hence sending their children to public schools to learn “subjects” crafted to specification while they acquired habits of regimentation and attitudes of subservience to authority.
The way to control their bodies is through economics, which is based on incentives. Everything in this world follows its food supply, and secondarily, the need for warmth and safety and sex. The masses need to buy food and pay for shelter, and they can be led by their noses with sex appeal. Corporate machinations determine what jobs are available and in what quantities. It wasn’t hard to drive the bulk of the public into employment of one sort of another, because employment meant dependence. Advertising drives them to consume, so the economic engine keeps humming.
Schools tell them they are free, of course, because they can vote every two and four years for candidates you and your fellows have approved, at least in most cases. Trump was an odd case, but your superiors have partially bent him to their will.
All this said, you and your fellow globalists are not gods, and you don’t view yourselves as gods. There are no gods any more than there are ghosts, goblins, ghouls, poltergeists, or space aliens. You’re just a superior breed of human, that’s all. You blue bloods tamed emotions the masses can’t tame, while focusing on long-term goals, developing the right technological tools, and getting everyone and everything into alignment.
Speaking of Trump, he and a few others monkeywrenched things a little. Fortunately, most of what Trump has actually done benefited the very corporations serving your superiors — as if he actually knew who had been buttering his bread all along (his commerce secretary, Wilber Ross, who helped him out of a financial jam years ago, is a Rothschild agent, after all). And it’s not like he was going to Drain the Swamp. If he truly thought he was going to oppose globalism, he was opposing something that was 90 percent finished.
But getting back to the godhood question….
You’re not gods because God, if He really existed, wouldn’t make mistakes, and you globalists have made some epic blunders over the years. You made basically the same mistake twice, in fact! Letting a technology get away from you.
Back in the 1960s, your predecessors let television get away. Television, that new and potentially fantastic panacea for bored housewives and sports fans, that instrument for communicating propaganda passed off as news, and a source of revenue for companies great and small who threw millions into commercial ads that supported programming that would condition viewers to what your predecessors wanted them to think. But they let parts of it get away from them. It’s a cultural cesspool now, but back then, the ship had sailed.
The mistake was permitting boots-on-the-ground coverage of what was really going on in Vietnam. Kids saw the bodybags and were horrified. A critical mass of a generation came of age telling each other, “We’re not doing this anymore!” They would have sent a man to the White House to stop that war, which your predecessors wanted badly. A couple of their jackals took him out, just like a different group took out his brother five years earlier, but it was too late. The movement survived and ended that war prematurely. It wasn’t economically feasible to continue fighting it. It took a long time to build the war machine back to where it had been. Globalism lost valuable time!
Then, more recently, your fellows let the Internet slip through their fingers! Originally a DARPA creation, this work of genius programmed computers to “talk to one another” within the burgeoning communications grid. It migrated from government to computer science labs in universities and from there, slow but sure, to dissident voices who hadn’t had such platforms before. It also made its way to the masses. Some turned it into the same cesspool television had become, but for others — refuseniks, you call them — it was an oasis of “free speech” and they made full use of it. Some were clever and gathered a lot of essentially truthful information about what you and your fellows have been up to all these years and decades. The “conspiracy” meme worked somewhat but didn’t carry the same weight it once had.
So your minions seeded it with all manner of bogus information and confusion and false rabbit trails. Sometimes — proving they have a sense of humor, you suppose — they pushed stuff that was outright idiotic, such as the Earth being flat and this being science’s darkest secret and the devil’s greatest triumph after convincing the world he doesn’t exist. Here your generation came in. Part of your work involves creating content that distracts and confuses. You love your work. Because you can endlessly play mind games with truthseekers. Even if there isn’t any way to prevent some truth from getting out (such as the role of a certain powerful Middle Eastern nation with Washington’s most powerful lobby in 9/11), you and your fellows can see to it that even intelligent and discerning researchers have a hard time telling what is true from what isn’t. Helping your cause is the sheer quantity of information, whether about historical events or more recent ones such as the 9/11 attacks, or even the 2008 financial crisis where you could confuse and misdirect to so people would look at unqualified loan recipients instead of manipulative Wall Streeters and their instruments. It was easy to ensure that discussions of the latter were so complex and technical, as well as written in extremely dry language, so the average reader would quickly get bored and give up.
But when all is said and done, even though you helped create the post-truth world we live in now, it wasn’t enough.
Some of the refuseniks got organized! A Global Populist Revolt was at hand!
It started slow and fractured and ultimately compromised, like Occupy Wall Street and Arab Spring. But with Brexit and the rise of Trump, the Revolt grew sharper teeth, since even if Trump was basically an asshole and had all kinds of vulnerabilities, his command of all the major media was so superior and his opponents so weak that no one really stood a chance against him back in 2016. It would have been too risky to just take him out, like your predecessors did those two brothers all those years ago. Hotheads among his supporters would have blown the lid off. So you made the best of it, you and your fellow globalists. Then Hillary Clinton self-sabotaged with her idiotic “baskets of deplorables” remark and blew the election! Clinton, who had destroyed two countries almost singlehandedly (Libya and Honduras), would have been perfect at blending the drums of war with fanning the flames of black vs white, male vs female, straight vs gay, all helping distract from the looming financial catastrophe your fellows’ central bankers were busy engineering behind the scenes to prepare for the Great Reset.
Now you had a problem on your hands!
And by 2017 too many people were awake (not “woke”). They didn’t buy “Russia-gate” (God, how you hate such terms!). Nor did they buy “Ukraine-gate” which would be your Democrat Party servants’ last straightforward gambit for getting Trump out of office.
Nor were they buying into the man-made climate change narrative.
But you globalists are nothing if not smart, and with tremendous foresight. Some of you had been anticipating just such possibilities, having funneled millions into coronavirus research in places like Wuhan, China, where nobody in the West would notice.
It would be necessary to crush the Populists and refuseniks!
Enter the “novel” coronavirus. And how the Chinese Communist Party also played it smart doing your bidding, keeping the lid on until global travel ensured that the virus would spread and start infecting vulnerable populations, laying the groundwork for a broader panic: your planned-emic. Your servants in governments closed borders, locked down economies forcibly closing thousands of small businesses, while slamming corporate media viewers with 24/7 coverage of COVID-19, letting them watch death numbers rack up.
The start of the greatest redistribution of wealth upwards in world history!
Then came the George Floyd riots, which some of you helped orchestrate — brilliant moves to increase the general level of mayhem and distraction.
Through the wrecked businesses and ruined lives you hear the cries of “do something!” You and your superiors are counting on this.
What a perfect opportunity for a Great Reset!
A few of you are saying almost visibly that only a world government can address this pandemic — which has certainly caused more fear than climate change and soft-minded phrases like “global problems call for global solutions.”
They weren’t personally threatened by climate change like they are getting sick and dying, and that’s the key. The object lesson is that the masses have to feel fear personally. They have to believe they or those they care about or things they care about are in danger, otherwise they won’t get with the program.
Now it’s appropriate to use TV to show bodybags and rows of graves!
This will also be the best opportunity you and your fellow globalists have to get rid of physical cash and digitize everything. Tell the masses that cash could spread the virus, not just that drug dealers, child traffickers, and other forms of lowlife scum use physical cash. Since most people have never seen a child trafficker or drug lord, again that’s not personal enough.
Eventually you’ll criminalize cash transactions that aren’t recorded digitally and can’t be monitored. Once your financial grid is set, you’ll know every detail of who has what, where they are getting it and how, what they are doing with it, and whether there’s anything suspicious going on. Your ideal is for the masses to have credit chips implanted in them, perhaps between the thumb and index finger of their left hand. A global ID. Everybody’s birth and parentage records, educational records, employment records, health records, and financial transactions, all in one place! Nothing will any more get lost, nothing will be stolen. You’ll tell the people that identity theft is a thing of the past.
Some still won’t go along, of course. Refuseniks, ideological descendants of those who rejected modernity, don’t trust authority, and would live like savages rather than enjoy the benefits of the new world order you globalists offer.
This is not a choice, though. Your superiors’ offer isn’t coming with an opt-out button.
You’re not sure what’s in the offing, because such things are on a need-to-know basis and you don’t need to know.
You realize there are things you don’t know. You know your immediate superiors who brought you to where you are, and you know the higher-ups past them reach up through Wall Street corporations and City of London enclaves, past central banks and Bank of International Settlements and Davos culture, past even Those You Can’t Criticize to still higher “alchemists” of power. And they might be answering to someone above them. There may be curtains you can’t see, much less peer behind. Maybe someday you’ll be invited to gatherings in the “grove” if you perform well. But where does this go? You’ve had a few uneasy thoughts you’ve always been able to push away.
One thing you know: no one leaves this life except in a box. A few tried. They regretted it. A handful tried to tell their tale. They discovered the truth: no one believed them. They became laughingstocks, like those glassy-eyed, disheveled loons on sidewalks bearing signs and wailing through bad teeth that the end of the world is at hand.
As to what’s planned for the refusenik brigades, it’s sure to be something nastier than this planned-emic was.
This coronavirus wasn’t lethal except for certain groups like the elderly that can’t contribute to the global economy anyway and might as well be eliminated. Some 80 percent of everyone else infected got over it. Rough estimate.
You’ve heard rumors, though — Bill Gates mentioned one in passing, like he was talking about a mere possibility — of something waiting in the wings that will be lethal. Something able to wipe out not a few million but a few billion. Maybe reduce the world’s population by well over half, given that many who survive the plague will die in food riots, croak from heart attacks, OD on drugs, or commit suicide. Many may simply starve to death. You remember reading back in 2005 that Terry Schiavo, the disabled brain damaged woman, lived without food and water for 13 days after she was unplugged from life support. You wince a little as you imagine someone mostly healthy and with normal cognition going maybe longer without food, wandering to find it anywhere he can, failing because there isn’t any food, then collapsing and doubling up in agony because his stomach and small intestines are starting to digest themselves—
Sometimes you think you can empathize after all, and you’re deathly afraid it will show at some point….
You’re a globalist, a blue blood, and above such things.
Less population is a good thing. As the Georgia Guidestones say, no more than 500 million is the ideal. With more and more robotics coming, there’s going to be less work for people to do.

Transhumanism at its finest! Eternally!
Resistance is futile, and all that….
So there you are. This is your world — and the world to come. A world with a single governing structure about to pull everyone in, willingly or not; a single world marketplace dominated by corporations some of your superiors own and control, with employment for those who got with the program; maybe a single religion of humanity (something one of your heroes, sociology-founder Auguste Comte, promoted) and whatever spiritualism and woo the masses want to mix into it (you and your superiors don’t care just so it isn’t Christianity).
Things are going well enough that your superiors think they’ll have the basics in place by 2030, and given how many people actually did fall in line behind the COVID-19 scare, you’re thinking this as well.

You know your superiors don’t care about eradicating poverty, but such sentiments play to the emotions of those you want to influence.

Their primary emotions being fear, greed, and lust, you, your superiors, and their predecessors have known for decades how to incentivize most of them.
As for the refuseniks? In time, they’ll be dealt with—
Well, gentle reader, we’ve looked at the world — your world — through the eyes of a globalist. It is time to return you back from this journey of sight and sound and mind. Back from Twilight Zone 2020. Back through that door to the familiarity of home and hearth.
The bathroom is still the first room on your left.

thelibertybeacon--2020-07-02--GMC suspension: is this justice? You decide

I have received the following letter from Dr Mohammad Iqbal Adil , the NHS surgeon recently suspended with apparent haste by the GMC for voicing his medical concerns about the lockdown and its various ramifications and consequences .
We are pleased to publish it for you here .
You ’ ll see that Dr Adil was charged with bringing disrepute to his profession , yet in our view it is difficult to comprehend how speaking out in the interest of better service to the public , pursuant to any doctor ’ s duty of care , does that .
Moreover @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blind obedience to political diktats to the detriment of the primary duty of medical care could bring the medical profession into disrepute more than any doctor following his conscience and that the GMC , through this injustice – which could so easily be construed as an effort to silence conscientious dissent – has seriously damaged its own repute .
But what do you think ?
Fellow of The Royal College of Surgeons of U.K .
I have been suspended for a period of 12 months by the GMC ( general medical council ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ speaking out with my personal point of view of COVID-19 on the social media .
I simply expressed my professional viewpoint on the COVID -19 , its far-reaching restrictions on the public ’ s lives and livelihoods and the impacts of the lockdown on the economy , social and family well being , education and long standing psychological effects , contrary to the mainstream media narrative .
The GMC allegation is that I have brought disrepute to the profession , forgetting that how much repute I made for the NHS over the period @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am damaging the public confidence and trust .
But this is not the case .
Millions of people have appreciated my videos , which helped them to relieve their anxiety and stress due to constant mainstream media narrative .
I have had no problems related to clinical concern or patient care at this time or , indeed , ever before .
I was terminated by the North Manchester Hospital on 22/04/2020 and then on 07/05/2020 in Pilgrims Hospital Boston where I was working as a Locum Consultant Surgeon within months of the issue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expressing my point of view .
I am indeed a Consultant Surgeon and have been working in U.K. for over 30 years without any doubt and with great contribution to the local community , in teaching and training to promote medical education .
With the long standing experience in medicine over 35 years while working at senior level in U.K. , Ireland and Pakistan and during the period of absolute Chaos and misunderstanding of the virus , I felt obliged to make a scientific contribution in collecting the current data related to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it with the other flu viruses and influenza and putting the facts into perspective .
My concerns lay upon the devastating impacts of the lockdown on the economy , socioeconomic consequences , personal and family lives and prevailing poverty among the public across the world .
I had no intention to play down the virus and its virulence .
Unemployment in U.K. has gone to 4 millions and economy has shrunk by 14 % which is equal to three recessions .
A large proportion of the People are dying in the world due @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conditions , cancers , strokes , diabetes and other conditions in numbers that are much higher than the coronavirus itself .
• 45,0000 for due to the strokes • 55,00 for due to flue and influenza the death rate in the UK is proportionate to the deaths in the USA .
But deaths due to the Lockdown , isolation , fear and mistreatment importantly due to lack of the medical care have been higher during the recent pandemic .
With their realistic approach based on the scientific data and facts , my videos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world with transcription in various languages and were seen by millions of people all over the world and widely appreciated in helping relieve stress , fear and anxiety created by the main stream media .
On the basis of my videos on the social media , General Medical Council sent me notification of the urgent inquiry by the Medical Practitioner Tribunal Services ( MPTS ) of the GMC to be held via Skype Hearing on line .
The meeting was held with 4 working days notice .
I was not able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moreover , the GMC failed to provide me with a hearing bundle consisting of 247 pages .
In a short and rapid meeting they passed Suspension Order for a period of 12 months which is totally unfair and unjustified .
I have never been dishonest or had any probity issue .

Dr Mohammad Iqbal Adil, the NHS surgeon, was recently suspended with apparent haste by the GMC for voicing his medical concerns about the lockdown and its various ramifications and consequences. He was charged with bringing disrepute to his profession, yet in our view it is difficult to comprehend how speaking out in the interest of better service to the public, pursuant to any doctor’s duty of care, does that.
Moreover, it would seem to us that blind obedience to political diktats to the detriment of the primary duty of medical care could bring the medical profession into disrepute more than any doctor following his conscience and that the GMC, through this injustice – which could so easily be construed as an effort to silence conscientious dissent – has seriously damaged its own repute.
But what do you think?
Here is a summary of our understanding of Dr Adil’s case. We’ve taken a novel approach and used our own imaginations to put it in the first person.Whilst these are not Dr Adil’s own words, we hope to convey how it must look from the perspective of the wronged party. We hope Dr Adil will forgive us for any inaccuracies or errors in this narrative.
In our view this must be a distressing episode for a man who simply endeavoured to do right by the People. Please give him your support as we do.
I have been suspended for a period of 12 months by the GMC ( general medical council ) U.K. on 01 June 2020 due to speaking out with my personal point of view of COVID-19 on the social media. I simply expressed my professional viewpoint on COVID -19 , its far-reaching restrictions on the public’s lives and livelihoods and the impact of the lockdown on the economy, social and family well being, education and long standing psychological effects, contrary to the mainstream media narrative. The GMC allegation is that I have brought disrepute to the profession, forgetting that how much repute I made for the NHS over the period. The GMC also alleged that I am damaging public confidence and trust. But this is not the case. Millions of people have appreciated my videos, which helped them to relieve their anxiety and stress due to constant mainstream media narrative. I have had no problems related to clinical concern or patient care at this time or indeed, ever before. I was terminated by the North Manchester Hospital on 22/04/2020 and then on 07/05/2020 in Pilgrims Hospital Boston where I was working as a Locum Consultant Surgeon within months of the issue of my YouTube video on the Covid-19 expressing my point of view. I have worked as a Consultant Surgeon in U.K. for over 30 years without any problems and contributed to the community, through teaching and the promotion of medical education. With over 35 years experience in medicine, working at senior level in U.K., Ireland and Pakistan, during this period of complete chaos and misunderstanding of the virus , I have felt obliged to make a scientific contribution in collecting the current data related to the novel virus and comparing it with the other flu viruses and influenza and putting the facts into perspective. My concerns arise from the devastating impact of the lockdown on the economy, socioeconomic consequences, personal and family lives and prevailing poverty among the public across the world. I had no intention to play down the virus and its virulence. Unemployment in U.K. has gone to 4 millions and economy has shrunk by 14 % which is equal to three recessions. A large proportion of the People are dying in the world due to road traffic accidents, heart conditions, cancers, strokes, diabetes and other conditions in numbers that are much higher than the coronavirus itself. In the USA , every year
665000 people die due to the heart attacks
55000 die due to the cancers
45,0000 for due to the strokes
55,00 for due to flue and influenza The death rate in the UK is proportionate to the deaths in the USA. But deaths due to the Lockdown (isolation, fear and mistreatment due to withdrawal of medical care etc) have been higher during the recent pandemic. With their realistic approach based on the scientific data and facts, my videos went viral on the social media across the world with transcription in various languages and were seen by millions of people all over the world and widely appreciated in helping relieve stress, fear and anxiety created by the main stream media. On the basis of my videos on the social media, the General Medical Council sent me notification of the urgent inquiry by the Medical Practitioner Tribunal Services ( MPTS) of the GMC to be held viaa Skype Hearing on line. The meeting was held with 4 working days notice. I was not able to arrange my legal advisor or representative. Moreover , the GMC failed to provide me with a hearing bundle consisting of 247 pages. In a short and rapid meeting they passed Suspension Order fir a period of 12 months which is totally unfair and unjustified. I have never been dishonest or had any probity issue.
It is totally disproportionate to my appearance on the social media to express my point of view using my freedom of speech and human rights. It means my license to practice has been withdrawn for 12 months and I am not allowed to practice medicine in this country. My point of view is simple: that the restrictions imposed on us are so excessive that people with other serious medical conditions have been afraid or unable to go to the hospital because of the fear factor and danger of a consequent very high mortality from other conditions, for example heart disease, cancers, strokes , diabetes , kidney and liver failure and leukemia. Also many elective operations , endoscopies, investigations and procedures including cancers have been cancelled and that has led to significant increase in mortality from other conditions. At least 3 million people in U.K. have not had their treatments for their medical , surgical and other problems and investigations. I would say government and NHS could have done better in handling the situation with more understanding so as to safeguard public well being and to save lives in a planned way. I expressed caution about the use of the vaccines for coronavirus for two reasons. Firstly we are not too sure about the multiple strains of the Corona Virus and one vaccine might not be helpful. Secondly, if the production of a vaccine is rushed through too quickly there are dangers of significant side-effects from a potential vaccine being missed. This has happened previously on dengu , Ebola , HIV , hepatitis , H1 ,N1 and flu virus vaccinations. As there has not been no effective vaccine for the SARS1 or MERS Viruses , how can we expect a vaccine for the SARS2- Cov ( COVID-19) be effective? Many lethal side effects had been demonstrated across the world by the injudicious use of vaccines. The other factor about vaccines is that that six strains of coronavirus have been found as mentioned by the WHO and I am concerned that a vaccine could be developed that does not cover all the strains, and that people could then have a false sense of security about having immunity from Covid. Moreover, the composition and the ingredients of the vaccines has never been explained or displayed for the public. Use of masks is good in certain situations but is dangerous by using all the times especially during driving , active sports , in homes or normal routine at work due to re inhalation of our own toxins and rebreathing of the Co2. Similarly social distancing is also preventing us acquiring herd immunity based on the antigen exposure techniques used in Sweden , Norway, Finland, New Zealand etc. without any lockdown or social distancing. I was suspended with right of appeal within 6 months. I appealed to the GMC after the decision three times for an early review and revoking unfair suspension of my licence to practice, which has been rejected with the advice that GMC review meeting would be held by the End of November 2020. Regrettably, that is a long way to go. Unfortunately, my 30 years service for the NHS has not been taken into an account My legal right to the full course of justice has been denied me. I didn’t have much time to submit my response after discussion with the legal adviser. The Hearing’s bundle of documents comprising 247 pages was eventually provided but, with the fullness of justice skimped so that the Hearing could be rushed through to a swift conclusion, I was denied time to study it or challenge any perceived false reports or inaccuracies. I have never been dishonest nor have I had any probity issue. I am pursuing my case publicly and asking my fellow citizens whether you consider justice has been done or served by the GMC in this instance, especially in light of my 30+ years of service to the NHS.
I appealed to the GMC on 5th , 8th and 15th June but it was rejected by the GMC. They told me earliest review would be after 6 months at the end of November 2020. It’s unfair for a senior, highly skilled and experienced surgeon.This is not in the best interest of patients either during current health crisis. One the one hand they are making a big show of applauding NHS front line workers, while on the other they are suspending very experienced and qualified surgeons like me.
