principiascientificinternational--2020-04-20--Politicians ‘Led by the Science’ Can Become Despots

Politicians ‘ Led by the Science ’ Can Become Despots Having packed my TV in a box some 20 years ago ( did I miss anything good ? )
, I feel I have developed a certain immunity to some of the more blatant propaganda techniques waged upon the populace by the media and UK Government .
On the occasions I do get to see them , I often find myself at a loss to know whether to laugh out loud at the absurdities , or weep that many will swallow them without question .
My favourite recent example of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here on the BBC ( the Babylon Bee Corporation ? )
, where they examine thesinister measures being taken by some of Europe ’ s more authoritarian leaders , asking whether they are using Covid-19 as an excuse to oppress their populations and increase their power .
Be thankful , O ye readers of such happenings , that nothing like that could ever happen in free countries such as Britain , France and Italy .
If there ever came a time in free and happy Britain where they rushed draconian legislation through Parliament @ @ @ @ @ @ @ house arrest , sent the economy into a tailspin , and set the police on us in case we sit on park benches — Heaven forbid — be assured that it would all be entirely benevolent and for our own good .
My favourite recent example from the UK Government was when I had the misfortune to listen to a clip from one of Dominic Raab ’ s regular evening stand-ups this week .
He used the phrase — “ We ’ re being led by the science .
Led by the science @ @ @ @ @ @ @ began to wonder whether the point was to lull us all into a trance .
I think they were missing a trick , though .
If they ’ d had some soothing harp music going on in the background , and got some nice , dreamy looking woman with hypnotic eyes and beautiful dulcet tones to say the words — “ The science .
The science .
We ’ re being led by the science .
We ’ re all in this together .
Led by the science.
” — why I reckon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into gently falling asleep saying the words in ever-slower , ever more monotonous and drowsy tones .
Mr Raab , however , didn ’ t quite cut it .
When some people hear Governments using slogans like , “ Led by the science , ” the aura of scientists and especially Government-endorsed scientists seems to be sufficient to make them roll over like puppies being stroked gently on their bellies .
When I hear such slogans , my propaganda antennae immediately goes on full alert , and I start to wonder what they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — whaddaya know ?
— whereas Mr Raab and co would have us believe that on Covid-19 there is something called “ the science ” and that there are people called “ the scientists ” who are all in agreement on “ the science ” , this is far from the truth .
For example , these 12 extremely well qualified scientists do not agree with “ the science ” being followed by the likes of the British Government .
Nor do these 10 extremely well qualified scientists .
Oh and these 8 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either .
What Mr Raab really means is scientists who agree with the Government ( and in case you weren ’ t sure where you ’ d heard the expression before , I believe Mr Raab was quoting from Greta Thunberg ’ s Greatest Hits , which she used back in the day to promote her particular brand of panic-mongering ) .
Or perhaps more accurately , we should say scientists whose inaccurate predictions using flawed data were swallowed by the Government , subsequently used to justify landing us all into a mess @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are now apparently the shepherd which will lead us out into the Promised Land .
Well , perhaps not the Promised Land , but at least to the point where we can leave our houses and go for a walk , unmolested and without watching out for who might be watching us .
It is not , therefore , Government led by science .
Rather it is Government using approved scientists to do whatsoever they will .
The great C.S .
Lewis , with his remarkable foresight , saw the way all this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : And indeed they are muzzled !
For here we are in a situation where the science falsely so-called put forward by the likes of Imperial College , which relied on extremely scant and dubious data , is treated as the very Oracle of God by both Government and a compliant media , whilst the views put forth by the following extremely qualified people , are almost entirely ignored : • Dr Sucharit Bhakdi , former professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Medicine , of Health Research and Policy and of Biomedical Data Science , at Stanford University School of Medicine • Dr Alexander Kekulé , Chair for Medical Microbiology and Virology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Director of the Institute for Medical Microbiology at the University Hospital Halle • Dr Sunetra Gupta , Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford • Dr Pablo Goldschmidt , Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris .
Why are their views ignored by the mainstream media ?
Firstly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ narrative set by the Government , which the likes of Mr Raab would have us believe is the only science in town and secondly , because they all state that huge decisions with enormous consequences have been taken on the basis of little or flawed data .
Theirs is the kind of science that can not be easily manipulated by Governments , which is why Governments are ignoring it .
Again , Lewis foresaw this happening decades before it came to fruition : “ Again , the new oligarchy must more and more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its claim to knowledge .
If we are to be mothered , mother must know best .
This means they must increasingly rely on the advice of scientists , till in the end the politicians proper become merely the scientists ’ puppets .
Technocracy is the form to which a planned society must tend .
Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects .
Let scientists tell us about sciences .
But government involves questions about the good for man , and justice , and what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; and on these a scientific training gives a man ’ s opinion no added value .
Let the doctor tell me I shall die unless I do so-and-so ; but whether life is worth having on those terms is no more a question for him than for any other man.
” It is not even , as some might suppose , merely a question of scientific opinion versus other scientific opinion .
The original Imperial College model , followed by the British Government , was based on assumptions that were simply unknown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at that time .
It was not , therefore , in anyway properly speaking scientific .
For instance , whereas the original case-rate fatality was assumed to be about 3.4 % , as Dr. John Lee points out : Imagine crashing an economy and imposing what is effectively a police state , with all the concomitant evils that will lead to , in order to deal with an illness with a case-fatality rate not significantly greater than a bad flu season .
Is that rational ?
Is that proportional ?
Is that being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there an scientific evidence whatsoever that placing the country under extreme lockdown measures proves any more effective than the more sensible measures taken by the likes of Japan and Sweden .
Dr Lee again : “ The real point is that there isn ’ t any direct evidence that what we are doing is actually affecting the peak .
It is possible to make arguments that sound reasonable that a lockdown should affect the peak .
And yet other places which are doing different things seem to have similarly shaped graphs .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is having a big effect on the virus spread , but this is not a known scientific fact .
As far as I can see , Sweden , despite not having anywhere near as severe a lockdown as we have had , actually has a very similar curve to ours .
And Sweden ’ s death rate per hundred thousand people is roughly half of ours at the moment .
So it is not a given that what we are doing is either working or is having all the right effects.
” Is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yourselves using the charts below , which show weekly Covid-19 reported deaths , both in terms of absolute numbers and per million population .
I can not see any correlation whatsoever between the death rates in those countries under full lockdown , and Sweden which is not .
What is a given , however , is that the measures put in place by the British Government , and many other governments , which have allegedly been led by the science , are certain to lead to : • Massive job losses ( US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in just over a month ) • And many old people dying alone with no carers .
We can not be sure of the extent , but these are the sorts of things that happen in a depression , which is what we are very obviously entering .
But my fear of where this leads to goes beyond even those possible scenarios .
I have noticed in recent years an increasing propensity of those in charge to propose solutions to problems that are largely of their making .
The noises I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is what is taking shape , but on a larger scale than ever before .
Being “ led by the science ” is turning out to be an unmitigated disaster , yet it will be “ the science ” — or Government-approved science — which will be proposed as the saviour .
To stop such situations occurring again , we will be told that we must avail ourselves of more technology , more monitoring , more checks , more vaccines , more controls .
Lewis has spoken twice — let him speak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Godless , unrepentant , modern technological society , it ’ s bound to happen .
But no thanks .
Personally , I ’ d rather trust myself into the hands of the Living God than surrender to the Bill Gatesian Social Distancing Medical Despotism of compulsory vaccines , certifications and health apps that is starting to take shape around us .

Politicians ‘Led by the Science’ Can Become Despots
Written by Rob Slane, TheBlogMire.com
Having packed my TV in a box some 20 years ago (did I miss anything good?), I feel I have developed a certain immunity to some of the more blatant propaganda techniques waged upon the populace by the media and UK Government.
On the occasions I do get to see them, I often find myself at a loss to know whether to laugh out loud at the absurdities, or weep that many will swallow them without question.
My favourite recent example of this in the media is this piece here on the BBC (the Babylon Bee Corporation?), where they examine thesinister measures being taken by some of Europe’s more authoritarian leaders, asking whether they are using Covid-19 as an excuse to oppress their populations and increase their power.
Be thankful, O ye readers of such happenings, that nothing like that could ever happen in free countries such as Britain, France and Italy. If there ever came a time in free and happy Britain where they rushed draconian legislation through Parliament without opposition, put the population under house arrest, sent the economy into a tailspin, and set the police on us in case we sit on park benches — Heaven forbid — be assured that it would all be entirely benevolent and for our own good.
My favourite recent example from the UK Government was when I had the misfortune to listen to a clip from one of Dominic Raab’s regular evening stand-ups this week.
He used the phrase — “We’re being led by the science. Led by the science” — so many times that I began to wonder whether the point was to lull us all into a trance.
I think they were missing a trick, though. If they’d had some soothing harp music going on in the background, and got some nice, dreamy looking woman with hypnotic eyes and beautiful dulcet tones to say the words — “The science. The science. We’re being led by the science. We’re all in this together. Led by the science.” — why I reckon they could have lulled the whole population into gently falling asleep saying the words in ever-slower, ever more monotonous and drowsy tones. Mr Raab, however, didn’t quite cut it.
When some people hear Governments using slogans like, “Led by the science,” the aura of scientists and especially Government-endorsed scientists seems to be sufficient to make them roll over like puppies being stroked gently on their bellies.
When I hear such slogans, my propaganda antennae immediately goes on full alert, and I start to wonder what they’re actually up to.
“Ah, so you’re anti science,” comes the taunt. “Not a bit of it,” says I. “I’m just aware that scientists are rarely in complete agreement, and that when Governments use such statements to justify their actions in this way, it probably means that we are going to come out of this more restricted and less free than we were before.”
Because — whaddaya know? — whereas Mr Raab and co would have us believe that on Covid-19 there is something called “the science” and that there are people called “the scientists” who are all in agreement on “the science”, this is far from the truth. For example, these 12 extremely well qualified scientists do not agree with “the science” being followed by the likes of the British Government. Nor do these 10 extremely well qualified scientists. Oh and these 8 extremely well qualified scientists don’t either.
What Mr Raab really means is scientists who agree with the Government (and in case you weren’t sure where you’d heard the expression before, I believe Mr Raab was quoting from Greta Thunberg’s Greatest Hits, which she used back in the day to promote her particular brand of panic-mongering ).
Or perhaps more accurately, we should say scientists whose inaccurate predictions using flawed data were swallowed by the Government, subsequently used to justify landing us all into a mess of truly gargantuan proportions, and yet are now apparently the shepherd which will lead us out into the Promised Land.
Well, perhaps not the Promised Land, but at least to the point where we can leave our houses and go for a walk, unmolested and without watching out for who might be watching us.
It is not, therefore, Government led by science. Rather it is Government using approved scientists to do whatsoever they will.
The great C.S. Lewis, with his remarkable foresight, saw the way all this was going as far back as 1958:
“On just the same ground I dread government in the name of science. That is how tyrannies come in. In every age the men who want us under their thumb, if they have any sense, will put forward the particular pretension which the hopes and fears of that age render most potent. They ‘cash in’. It has been magic, it has been Christianity. Now it will certainly be science. Perhaps the real scientists may not think much of the tyrants’ ‘science’ — they didn’t think much of Hitler’s racial theories or Stalin’s biology. But they can be muzzled.”
And indeed they are muzzled! For here we are in a situation where the science falsely so-called put forward by the likes of Imperial College, which relied on extremely scant and dubious data, is treated as the very Oracle of God by both Government and a compliant media, whilst the views put forth by the following extremely qualified people, are almost entirely ignored:
Dr Sucharit Bhakdi, former professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene
Dr John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine, of Health Research and Policy and of Biomedical Data Science, at Stanford University School of Medicine
Professor Knut Wittkowski, Senior Research Associate, Rockefeller University
Dr Alexander Kekulé, Chair for Medical Microbiology and Virology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Director of the Institute for Medical Microbiology at the University Hospital Halle
John Oxford , virologist at Queen Mary, University of London
virologist at Queen Mary, University of London Dr Sunetra Gupta, Professor of Theoretical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford
Dr Pablo Goldschmidt, Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris.
Why are their views ignored by the mainstream media? Firstly, because they do not fit the narrative set by the Government, which the likes of Mr Raab would have us believe is the only science in town and secondly, because they all state that huge decisions with enormous consequences have been taken on the basis of little or flawed data. Theirs is the kind of science that cannot be easily manipulated by Governments, which is why Governments are ignoring it. Again, Lewis foresaw this happening decades before it came to fruition:
“Again, the new oligarchy must more and more base its claim to plan us on its claim to knowledge. If we are to be mothered, mother must know best. This means they must increasingly rely on the advice of scientists, till in the end the politicians proper become merely the scientists’ puppets. Technocracy is the form to which a planned society must tend. Now I dread specialists in power because they are specialists speaking outside their special subjects. Let scientists tell us about sciences. But government involves questions about the good for man, and justice, and what things are worth having at what price; and on these a scientific training gives a man’s opinion no added value. Let the doctor tell me I shall die unless I do so-and-so; but whether life is worth having on those terms is no more a question for him than for any other man.”
It is not even, as some might suppose, merely a question of scientific opinion versus other scientific opinion. The original Imperial College model, followed by the British Government, was based on assumptions that were simply unknown and which could not have been known at that time. It was not, therefore, in anyway properly speaking scientific. For instance, whereas the original case-rate fatality was assumed to be about 3.4{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}, as Dr. John Lee points out:
“In many examples, more complete data are now suggesting case-fatality rates of 0.4 per cent. My guess is that it will end up between 0.5 and 0.1 per cent, and probably nearer to the lower end of that.”
Imagine crashing an economy and imposing what is effectively a police state, with all the concomitant evils that will lead to, in order to deal with an illness with a case-fatality rate not significantly greater than a bad flu season. Is that rational? Is that proportional? Is that being led by the science?
Nor is there an scientific evidence whatsoever that placing the country under extreme lockdown measures proves any more effective than the more sensible measures taken by the likes of Japan and Sweden. Dr Lee again:
“The real point is that there isn’t any direct evidence that what we are doing is actually affecting the peak. It is possible to make arguments that sound reasonable that a lockdown should affect the peak. And yet other places which are doing different things seem to have similarly shaped graphs. It is only an assumption that the lockdown is having a big effect on the virus spread, but this is not a known scientific fact. As far as I can see, Sweden, despite not having anywhere near as severe a lockdown as we have had, actually has a very similar curve to ours. And Sweden’s death rate per hundred thousand people is roughly half of ours at the moment. So it is not a given that what we are doing is either working or is having all the right effects.”
Is he right? You can check for yourselves using the charts below, which show weekly Covid-19 reported deaths, both in terms of absolute numbers and per million population.
I cannot see any correlation whatsoever between the death rates in those countries under full lockdown, and Sweden which is not.
What is a given, however, is that the measures put in place by the British Government, and many other governments, which have allegedly been led by the science, are certain to lead to:
Massive job losses (US unemployment has apparently risen by 22 million in just over a month)
Far lower wages
A huge rise in poverty
A decline in general health
A lowering of life expectancy
A rise in mental health problems
A rise in the suicide rate
And many old people dying alone with no carers.
We cannot be sure of the extent, but these are the sorts of things that happen in a depression, which is what we are very obviously entering.
But my fear of where this leads to goes beyond even those possible scenarios. I have noticed in recent years an increasing propensity of those in charge to propose solutions to problems that are largely of their making. The noises I’m hearing from some of them suggest that this is what is taking shape, but on a larger scale than ever before. Being “led by the science” is turning out to be an unmitigated disaster, yet it will be “the science” — or Government-approved science — which will be proposed as the saviour. To stop such situations occurring again, we will be told that we must avail ourselves of more technology, more monitoring, more checks, more vaccines, more controls.
Lewis has spoken twice — let him speak for the third time:
“Under modern conditions any effective invitation to Hell will certainly appear in the guise of scientific planning—as Hitler’s regime in fact did. Every tyrant must begin by claiming to have what his victims respect and to give what they want. The majority in most countries respect science and want to be planned. And, therefore, almost by definition, if any man or group wishes to enslave us it will of course describe itself as ‘scientific planned democracy.’ All the more reason to look very carefully at anything which bears that label.”
In our Godless, unrepentant, modern technological society, it’s bound to happen. But no thanks.
Personally, I’d rather trust myself into the hands of the Living God than surrender to the Bill Gatesian Social Distancing Medical Despotism of compulsory vaccines, certifications and health apps that is starting to take shape around us. I urge those of you who hate where this is going as much as I do to do the same: repent; believe the Gospel; and pray like furies.

Nobel Scientist: COVID-19 is a man-made Bio Weapon
Written by Tyler Durden
Nobel Prize winner, Dr Luc Montagnier (above) the man who discovered the HIV virus back in 1983, says the COVID19 virus was man-made.
As the mainstream media and politicians begin to raise/admit the possibilities that the source of COVID-19 was likely a lab in Wuhan (accidentally leaked or otherwise) – something we first brought to the world’s attention in January before being mocked, censored, and chastised – it appears more actual ‘scientists’ (at least those not paid by or working for a lab in Wuhan) are willing to admit what we noted all along – this virus is man-made.
GilmoreHealth.com’s Robert Miller writes that contrary to the narrative that is being pushed by the mainstream that the COVID 19 virus was the result of a natural mutation and that it was transmitted to humans from bats via pangolins.
Professor Luc Montagnier, 2008 Nobel Prize winner for Medicine, claims that SARS-CoV-2 is a manipulated virus that was accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
Chinese researchers are said to have used coronaviruses in their work to develop an AIDS vaccine. HIV DNA fragments are believed to have been found in the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
We knew that the Chinese version of how the coronavirus emerged was increasingly under attack, but here’s a thesis that tells a completely different story about the Covid-19 pandemic, which is already responsible for more than 110,000 deaths worldwide.
According to Professor Luc Montagnier, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2008 for “discovering” HIV as the cause of the AIDS epidemic together with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, the SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that was manipulated and accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, in the last quarter of 2019.
According to Professor Montagnier, this laboratory, known for its work on coronaviruses, tried to use one of these viruses as a vector for HIV in the search for an AIDS vaccine!
“With my colleague, bio-mathematician Jean-Claude Perez, we carefully analyzed the description of the genome of this RNA virus,” explains Luc Montagnier, interviewed by Dr Jean-François Lemoine for the daily podcast at Pourquoi Docteur, adding that others have already explored this avenue:
Indian researchers have already tried to publish the results of the analyses that showed that this coronavirus genome contained sequences of another virus, … the HIV virus (AIDS virus), but they were forced to withdraw their findings as the pressure from the mainstream was too great.
In a challenging question Dr Jean-François Lemoine inferred that the coronavirus under investigation may have come from a patient who is otherwise infected with HIV.
“No,” says Luc Montagnier, “in order to insert an HIV sequence into this genome, molecular tools are needed, and that can only be done in a laboratory.”
According to the 2008 Nobel Prize for Medicine, a plausible explanation would be an accident in the Wuhan laboratory. He also added that the purpose of this work was the search for an AIDS vaccine.
The truth will eventually come out
In any case, this thesis, defended by Professor Luc Montagnier, has a positive turn. According to him, the altered elements of this virus are eliminated as it spreads:
“Nature does not accept any molecular tinkering, it will eliminate these unnatural changes and even if nothing is done, things will get better, but unfortunately after many deaths.”
Luc Montagnier added that with the help of interfering waves, we could eliminate these sequences and as a result stop the pandemic.
This is enough to feed some heated debates! So much so that Professor Montagnier’s statements could also place him in the category of “conspiracy theorists”:
“Conspirators are the opposite camp, hiding the truth,” he replies, without wanting to accuse anyone, but hoping that the Chinese will admit to what he believes happened in their laboratory.
To entice a confession from the Chinese he used the example of Iran which after taking full responsibility for accidentally hitting a Ukrainian plane was able to earn the respect of the global community. Hopefully the Chinese will do the right thing he adds.
“In any case, the truth always comes out, it is up to the Chinese government to take responsibility.”

principiascientificinternational--2020-04-21--Petition Against 5G Rollout Reaches a Quarter Million Signatures

To the UN , WHO , EU , Council of Europe and governments of all nations We the undersigned scientists , doctors , environmental organizations and citizens from ( __ ) countries , urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G ( fifth generation ) wireless network , including 5G from space satellites .
5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency ( RF ) radiation on top of the 2G , 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place .
RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment .
The deployment of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the environment that is defined as a crime under international law .
Telecommunications companies worldwide , with the support of governments , are poised within the next two years to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network ( 5G ) .
This is set to deliver what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale .
We will have “ smart ” homes , “ smart ” businesses , “ smart ” highways , “ smart ” cities and self-driving cars .
Virtually everything we own and buy , from refrigerators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hairbrushes and infants ’ diapers , will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet .
Every person on Earth will have instant access to super-high-speed , low- latency wireless communications from any point on the planet , even in rainforests , mid-ocean and the Antarctic .
What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global scale .
The planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage .
In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 200 billion transmitting objects , according to estimates , will be part of the Internet of Things by 2020 , and one trillion objects a few years later .
Commercial 5G at lower frequencies and slower speeds was deployed in Qatar , Finland and Estonia in mid-2018 .
The rollout of 5G at extremely high ( millimetre wave ) frequencies is planned to begin at the end of 2018 .
Despite widespread denial , the evidence that radio frequency ( RF ) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human beings , experimental evidence of damage to DNA , cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals , and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer , heart disease and diabetes—are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution , forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies .
If the telecommunications industry ’ s plans for 5G come to fruition , no person , no animal , no bird , no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a year , to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today , without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet .
These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious , irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth ’ s ecosystems .
Immediate measures must be taken to protect humanity and the environment , in accordance with ethical imperatives and international agreements .

To the UN, WHO, EU, Council of Europe
and governments of all nations
We the undersigned scientists, doctors, environmental organizations and citizens from (__) countries, urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G (fifth generation) wireless network, including 5G from space satellites. 5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation on top of the 2G, 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place. RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment. The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.
Executive summary
Telecommunications companies worldwide, with the support of governments, are poised within the next two years to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network (5G). This is set to deliver what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale. We will have “smart” homes, “smart” businesses, “smart” highways, “smart” cities and self-driving cars. Virtually everything we own and buy, from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons, hairbrushes and infants’ diapers, will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet. Every person on Earth will have instant access to super-high-speed, low- latency wireless communications from any point on the planet, even in rainforests, mid-ocean and the Antarctic.
What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global scale. The planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage. In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and 20,000 new satellites in space, 200 billion transmitting objects, according to estimates, will be part of the Internet of Things by 2020, and one trillion objects a few years later. Commercial 5G at lower frequencies and slower speeds was deployed in Qatar, Finland and Estonia in mid-2018. The rollout of 5G at extremely high (millimetre wave) frequencies is planned to begin at the end of 2018.
Despite widespread denial, the evidence that radio frequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming. The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer, heart disease and diabetes—are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies.
If the telecommunications industry’s plans for 5G come to fruition, no person, no animal, no bird, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems.
Immediate measures must be taken to protect humanity and the environment, in accordance with ethical imperatives and international agreements.

Fed Investigation: CDC SPREAD the COVID-19 virus themselves
Written by Beth Mole
As the new coronavirus took root across America, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent states tainted test kits in early February that were themselves seeded with the virus, federal officials have confirmed.
The contamination made the tests uninterpretable, and—because testing is crucial for containment efforts—it lost the country invaluable time to get ahead of the advancing pandemic.
The CDC had been vague about what went wrong with the tests, initially only saying that “a problem in the manufacturing of one of the reagents” had led to the failure. Subsequent reporting suggested that the problem was with a negative control—that is, a part of the test meant to be free of any trace of the coronavirus as a critical reference for confirming that the test was working properly overall.
Now, according to investigation results reported by The New York Times, federal officials confirm that sloppy laboratory practices at two of three CDC labs involved in the tests’ creation led to contamination of the tests and their uninterpretable results.
“Just tragic”
Shortly after the problems became apparent in early February, the Food and Drug Administration sent Timothy Stenzel, chief of in vitro diagnostics and radiological health, to the CDC to investigate what was going wrong. According to the Times, he found a lack of coordination and inexperience in commercial manufacturing.
Problems that led to the contamination included researchers coming and going from labs working on the test kits without changing their coats and researchers sharing lab space to both assemble test components and handle samples containing the coronavirus.
The CDC said in a statement Saturday to the Times that the agency “did not manufacture its test consistent with its own protocol.” Though the CDC appeared reluctant to admit contamination was at the root of the problem, the Times noted that in a separate statement the CDC seemed to acknowledge such problems, saying the agency has since “implemented enhanced quality control to address the issue and will be assessing the issue moving forward.”
After the CDC first sent its test kit to states in early February, it took the agency around a month to fix the problem. By then, the virus had invaded many communities unimpeded, and any chance that the US had at containing its spread had virtually vanished. By mid-March, many states turned to mitigation efforts, such as social distancing, to try to blunt—rather than prevent—the life-threatening, healthcare-overwhelming effects of COVID-19.
“It was just tragic,” Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories, told the Times. “All that time when we were sitting there waiting, I really felt like, here we were at one of the most critical junctures in public health history, and the biggest tool in our toolbox was missing.”
As of the morning of April 20, the US has confirmed more than 760,000 cases of COVID-19 and more than 40,700 deaths. The numbers are expected to be underestimates due to the slow and still limited amount of testing.

Shock: Official Statistics Expose UK’s COVID-19 Lockdown Fail
Written by John O'Sullivan
Sweden was right all along – lockdown not needed. Official statistics reveal that the UK’s death toll due to COVID-19 is no worse than the country’s last bad influenza outbreak 20 years ago.
But before PM Boris Johnson claims victory for his quarantine measures he should take note of Sweden (which had no lockdown).
There is little, if any, discernible difference between the two countries on the rate or extent of deaths due to the disease. However, England did suffer more ‘unrelated deaths.’
As reported today by the BBC, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes the proof based on all death certificates which show both fatalities in hospital and in the community on a weekly basis.
It is believed that the peak of morbidity in the UK was reached in the week of April 10th. Separate analysis by NHS England shows that since April 8th the number of deaths in hospitals have been falling.
Overall deaths topped 18,500. This is the highest since January 2000 when there was a bad flu outbreak.
So, it is official: the COVID-19 pandemic – the global crisis of our age – is looking like it may be no more deadly than a bad flu outbreak. Death is regrettable and inevitable. But read further and see that there is a devil here in the detail.
This is because the ONS reports that deaths from ‘other causes’ rose too, suggesting that the unprecedented ‘lockdown’ of the entire nation may have inadvertently caused thousands of unnecessary extra deaths.
This is where comparisons with Sweden may end up proving unpleasant reading for PM Boris Johnson.
Comparing COVID-19 Morbidity: England with Sweden
Unlike the UK Sweden chose not to enforce a national lockdown. As Maddy Savage reported for the BBC (March 29, 2020):
“While swathes of Europe’s population endure lockdown conditions in the face of the coronavirus outbreak, one country stands almost alone in allowing life to go on much closer to normal. Swedes love the outdoors and officials have said that keeping people physically and mentally healthy is another reason they’re keen to avoid rules that would keep people cooped up at home. Dr Emma Frans says history will be the judge of which politicians and scientists around Europe have made the best calls so far. “Nobody really knows what measurements will be the most effective,” she says. “I’m quite glad that I’m not the one making these decisions”.”
Anyone can check the data for themselves by accessing the official EU website ‘European Monitoring of Excess Mortality for Public Health‘ www.euromomo.eu
Below we show a comparison for Week 15 (April 20th). Contrast and compare the relative death toll between Sweden and England during the pandemic and for previous years and note that there is an eerie similarity between the two countries.
Highlighted in red below: How is it possible that both nations, using opposing strategies, show a rise and fall in death rates in almost perfect synchrony?
How can it be that both countries, with such an extreme contrast in the social and economic measures they put in place, demonstrate no discernible difference in the rate or extent of mortality?
‘Cure Worse than the Disease’
More medical experts, economists, scientists and a president are declaring that the extreme measures in shutting down entire national economies could be a case of the ‘cure being worse than the disease.’
In America citizens are starting to demonstrate publicly against weeks of medical house arrest. Dr. Paul Offit, a professor in the infectious diseases division of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (and on the team that developed the vaccine for the Rotavirus) lamented:
“There will be a lot of unanticipated consequences that will be dire. The ripple effect will be very damaging. At what cost are we ultimately preventing this?”
In Britain the BBC and other mainstream broadcasters have more or less quelled the masses and no mass demonstrations (so far) have occurred. But alcohol consumption and takeaway deliveries have certainly ‘spiked’. No doubt some mums and dads have been getting pickled and beating their kids while piling on the pounds.
Closing down all “non-essential” businesses was an enormous risk — not just economic – the impacts are ubiquitous. How is it possible to truly assess whether or not a business is “essential” for public health.
Occupations that may seem “non-essential” at the outset may prove essential later. For example, some doctors, nurses, etc, will need to replace brake pads on their car and parts and paper for computers are needed for hospitals. In a cohesive, well-managed society very little is non-essential.
To be told your work is not essential causing you to become unemployed is a blight on self esteem; the negative impacts, including mental stress, will compromise your immune system.
No society can safeguard public health for long at the cost of its economic health. We can be sure the law of unintended consequences may yet reveal that the death toll from ‘other causes’ will continue to rise in the wake of this draconian mass lockdown. We can only guess at what will be the final tally from the grave impact on mental health, livelihoods, etc. but it could be in the millions.
The lesson from this pandemic lockdown may be that the true overall price is far greater than we could have thought. Better to keep our societies running as near normal as possible and never again try this insane experiment in mass quarantining of entire nations.

Here ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t divide flux density : Consider a flat blackbody plate , one square meter each face , at the same distance from Sun as Earth .

This has all been explained numerous times, by numerous people, including Joseph Postma, who came up with the term “cold sun” to illustrate the stupidity of dividing-by-4.
Here’s a simple demonstration of why you can’t divide flux density:
Consider a flat blackbody plate, one square meter each face, at the same distance from Sun as Earth. One face of the plate is positioned to receive direct sun (perpendicular to Sun’s flux). The plate would be receiving 960 Watts/m^2, after adjusting for albedo. At equilibrium it would have a temperature of 303.3 K, and be emitting 480 W/m^2 from each face.
one plate > 303.3 K = 30.2 ºC = 86.3 ºF
Now, divide the plate into 4 equal new plates, and also divide the flux by 4, “averaging” the flux. That results in 240 W/m^2 arriving each new plate, and 120 Watts/m^2 being emitted by both faces of each new plate, giving an equilibrium temperature of 214.5 K for each.
Four new plates > 214.5 K = – 58.7 ºC = – 73.6 ºF
Notice the 88.8 K (88.8 ºC, 159.9 ºF) difference in temperatures. The pseudoscience of dividing-by-4 changes 30.2 ºC into -58.7 ºC, and 86.3 ºF into -73.6 ºF! The same thing happens when the same trick is used with Earth’s flux. This is what the clowns do to solar energy.
They average solar flux over the entire surface. The result is a surface that gets less flux than an ice cube emits! (An ice cube emits about 300 W/m^2.) So the pseudoscience clowns have made solar input colder than that of an ice cube!
That’s why they’re clowns.

Coronavirus Lockdown is ‘Fantastic’ for the Climate say Activists
Written by Marc Morano
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano: “If you like living under the coronavirus fears and government-mandated lockdowns, then you’ll love living your life under a ‘climate emergency’.”
The climate change activist community has been in awe at the governments around the world and their responses to the coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic. Global warming campaigners have been watching closely and taking notes as the virus-induced societal shutdowns have enacted many of the climate activists’ long sought after agenda.
The coronavirus government response of austere lockdowns and limited economic activity has inspired climate activists and motivated them to the virus fears to lobby for their climate “solutions.”
Below: Climate activists lusting after the coronavirus lockdowns
“Neither Greenpeace, nor Greta Thunberg, nor any other individual or collective organization have achieved so much in favor of the health of the planet in such a short time…It is certainly not very good for the economy in general, but it is fantastic for the environment.” — Astrophysicist & Philosopher Martín López Corredoira
“One beneficiary will be the climate: after all, the world’s lungs are already breathing more easily thanks to the collapse of industrial production. Who is to say that this pandemic does not provide a turning point in world history.” – Oxford University Global History Professor Peter Frankopan on the coronavirus
“[The UN Sec. Gen. said] the pandemic could create an opportunity to rebuild the global economy along more sustainable lines.” – UN Secretary-General António Guterres as reported by Scientific American
“If we can shut the world down to stop a virus, that also means it is possible to do the same for climate change. Treat all emergencies like emergencies!” – “What would it look like when the world actually decides to take on the climate crisis? It would look like what we’re seeing right now.” – Teen activist JAMIE MARGOLIN in Teen Vogue magazine Op-Ed
COVID-19 “offers an opportunity to direct finances towards bolstering climate action.” – “Similarly, we will step up our efforts to catalyze green investment to relaunch economies on low-emission, climate-resilient trajectories.” – United Nation’s Green Climate Fund
“The mass shutdowns we now experience – likely necessary in a pandemic – could provide a model for imposing harsh actions to curb carbon emissions that activists consider as great or greater threats than the virus itself.” – UK Guardian editorial staff
“Let’s not let this crisis go to waste.” Coronavirus offers “a chance to do capitalism differently.” “Government has the upper hand, it must seize the moment.” – UN’s environment chief, Inger Andersen
