Year Zero

2020 was GloboCap Year Zero .
The year when the global capitalist ruling classes did away with the illusion of democracy and reminded everyone who is actually in charge , and exactly what happens when anyone challenges them .
In the relatively short span of the last ten months , societies throughout the world have been transformed beyond recognition .
Constitutional rights have been suspended .
Protest has been banned .
Dissent is being censored .
Government officials are issuing edicts restricting the most basic aspects of our lives … where we can go , when we can go there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spend there , how many friends we are allowed to meet there , whether and when we can spend time with our families , what we are allowed to say to each other , who we can have sex with , where we have to stand , how we are allowed to eat and drink , etc .
The list goes on and on .
The authorities have assumed control of the most intimate aspects of our daily lives .
We are being managed like inmates in a prison , told when to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privileges for good behavior , punished for the slightest infractions of an ever-changing set of arbitrary rules , forced to wear identical , demeaning uniforms ( albeit only on our faces ) , and otherwise relentlessly bullied , abused , and humiliated to keep us compliant .
None of which is accidental , or has anything to do with any actual virus , or any other type of public health threat .
Yes , before some of you go ballistic , I do believe there is an actual virus , which a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or which at least has contributed to their deaths … but there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any authentic public health threat that remotely justifies the totalitarian emergency measures we are being subjected to or the damage that is being done to society .
Whatever you believe about the so-called “ pandemic , ” it really is as simple as that .
Even if one accepts the official “ science , ” you do not transform the entire planet into a pathologized-totalitarian nightmare in response to a health threat of this nature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
GloboCap is not insane , however .
They know exactly what they are doing … which is teaching us a lesson , a lesson about power .
A lesson about who has it and who doesn ’ t .
For students of history it ’ s a familiar lesson , a standard in the repertoire of empires , not to mention the repertoire of penal institutions .
The name of the lesson is “ Look What We Can Do to You Any Time We Fucking Want.
” The point of the lesson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world this lesson when it nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki .
GloboCap ( and the US military ) taught it again when they invaded Iraq and destabilized the entire Greater Middle East .
It is regularly taught in penitentiaries when the prisoners start to get a little too unruly and remember that they outnumber the guards .
That ’ s where the “ lockdown ” concept originated .
It isn ’ t medical terminology .
It is penal institution terminology .
As we have been experiencing throughout 2020 , the global capitalist ruling classes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lesson .
It ’ s just that they would rather not to have to unless it ’ s absolutely necessary .
They would prefer that we believe we are living in “ democracies , ” governed by the “ rule of law , ” where everyone is “ free , ” and so on .
It ’ s much more efficient and much less dangerous than having to repeatedly remind us that they can take away our “ democratic rights ” in a heartbeat , unleash armed goon squads to enforce their edicts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brute force .
People who have spent time in prison , or who have lived in openly totalitarian societies , are familiar with being ruled by brute force .
Most Westerners are not , so it has come as a shock .
The majority of them still can ’ t process it .
They can not see what is staring them in the face .
They can not see it because they can ’ t afford to see it .
If they did , it would completely short-circuit their brains .
They would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entirely unable to function , so their psyches will not allow them to see it .
Others , who see it , can ’ t quite accept the simplicity of it ( i.e.
, the lesson being taught ) , so they are proposing assorted complicated theories about what it is and who is behind it … the Great Reset , China , the Illuminati , Transhumanism , Satanism , Communism , whatever .
Some of these theories are at least partially accurate .
Others are utter bull-goose lunacy .
They all obscure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The point of the lesson is that GloboCap — the entire global-capitalist system acting as a single global entity — can , virtually any time it wants , suspend the Simulation of Democracy , and crack down on us with despotic force .

The other part is being forced to watch ( or permitted to watch , depending on your perspective ) as GloboCap makes an example of Trump , as they made examples of Corbyn and Sanders , as they made examples of Saddam and Gaddafi , and other “ uncooperative ” foreign leaders , as they will make an example of any political figurehead that challenges their power .
It does not matter to GloboCap that such political figureheads pose no real threat .

The figureheads are just the teaching materials in the lesson that they are teaching us .

2020 was GloboCap Year Zero. The year when the global capitalist ruling classes did away with the illusion of democracy and reminded everyone who is actually in charge, and exactly what happens when anyone challenges them.
In the relatively short span of the last ten months, societies throughout the world have been transformed beyond recognition. Constitutional rights have been suspended. Protest has been banned. Dissent is being censored. Government officials are issuing edicts restricting the most basic aspects of our lives … where we can go, when we can go there, how long we are allowed to spend there, how many friends we are allowed to meet there, whether and when we can spend time with our families, what we are allowed to say to each other, who we can have sex with, where we have to stand, how we are allowed to eat and drink, etc. The list goes on and on.
The authorities have assumed control of the most intimate aspects of our daily lives. We are being managed like inmates in a prison, told when to eat, sleep, exercise, granted privileges for good behavior, punished for the slightest infractions of an ever-changing set of arbitrary rules, forced to wear identical, demeaning uniforms (albeit only on our faces), and otherwise relentlessly bullied, abused, and humiliated to keep us compliant.
None of which is accidental, or has anything to do with any actual virus, or any other type of public health threat. Yes, before some of you go ballistic, I do believe there is an actual virus, which a number of people have actually died from, or which at least has contributed to their deaths … but there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any authentic public health threat that remotely justifies the totalitarian emergency measures we are being subjected to or the damage that is being done to society. Whatever you believe about the so-called “pandemic,” it really is as simple as that. Even if one accepts the official “science,” you do not transform the entire planet into a pathologized-totalitarian nightmare in response to a health threat of this nature.
The notion is quite literally insane.
GloboCap is not insane, however. They know exactly what they are doing … which is teaching us a lesson, a lesson about power. A lesson about who has it and who doesn’t. For students of history it’s a familiar lesson, a standard in the repertoire of empires, not to mention the repertoire of penal institutions.
The name of the lesson is “Look What We Can Do to You Any Time We Fucking Want.” The point of the lesson is self-explanatory. The USA taught the world this lesson when it nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. GloboCap (and the US military) taught it again when they invaded Iraq and destabilized the entire Greater Middle East. It is regularly taught in penitentiaries when the prisoners start to get a little too unruly and remember that they outnumber the guards. That’s where the “lockdown” concept originated. It isn’t medical terminology. It is penal institution terminology.
As we have been experiencing throughout 2020, the global capitalist ruling classes have no qualms about teaching us this lesson. It’s just that they would rather not to have to unless it’s absolutely necessary. They would prefer that we believe we are living in “democracies,” governed by the “rule of law,” where everyone is “free,” and so on. It’s much more efficient and much less dangerous than having to repeatedly remind us that they can take away our “democratic rights” in a heartbeat, unleash armed goon squads to enforce their edicts, and otherwise control us with sheer brute force.
People who have spent time in prison, or who have lived in openly totalitarian societies, are familiar with being ruled by brute force. Most Westerners are not, so it has come as a shock. The majority of them still can’t process it. They cannot see what is staring them in the face. They cannot see it because they can’t afford to see it. If they did, it would completely short-circuit their brains. They would suffer massive psychotic breakdowns, and become entirely unable to function, so their psyches will not allow them to see it.
Others, who see it, can’t quite accept the simplicity of it (i.e., the lesson being taught), so they are proposing assorted complicated theories about what it is and who is behind it … the Great Reset, China, the Illuminati, Transhumanism, Satanism, Communism, whatever. Some of these theories are at least partially accurate. Others are utter bull-goose lunacy.
They all obscure the basic point of the lesson.
The point of the lesson is that GloboCap — the entire global-capitalist system acting as a single global entity — can, virtually any time it wants, suspend the Simulation of Democracy, and crack down on us with despotic force. It can (a) declare a “global pandemic” or some other type of “global emergency,” (b) cancel our so-called “rights,” (c) have the corporate media bombard us with lies and propaganda for months, (d) have the Internet companies censor any and all forms of dissent and evidence challenging said propaganda, (e) implement all kinds of new intrusive “safety” and “security” measures, including but not limited to the physical violation of our bodies … and so on. I think you get the picture. (The violation of our bodies is important, which is why they love “cavity searches” in prison, and why the torture-happy troops at Abu Ghraib were obsessed with sexually violating their victims.)
And the “pandemic” is only one part of the lesson. The other part is being forced to watch (or permitted to watch, depending on your perspective) as GloboCap makes an example of Trump, as they made examples of Corbyn and Sanders, as they made examples of Saddam and Gaddafi, and other “uncooperative” foreign leaders, as they will make an example of any political figurehead that challenges their power. It does not matter to GloboCap that such political figureheads pose no real threat. The people who rally around them do. Nor does it make the slightest difference whether these figureheads or the folks who support them identify as “left” or “right.” GloboCap could not possibly care less. The figureheads are just the teaching materials in the lesson that they are teaching us.
And now, here we are, at the end of the lesson … not the end of the War on Populism, just the end of this critical Trumpian part of it. Once the usurper has been driven out of office, the War on Populism will be folded back into the War on Terror, or the War on Extremism, or whatever GloboCap decides to call it … the name hardly matters. It is all the same war.
Whatever they decide to call it, this is GloboCap Year Zero. It is time for reeducation, my friends. It is time for cultural revolution. No, not communist cultural revolution … global capitalist cultural revolution. It is time to flush the aberration of the last four years down the memory hole, and implement global “New Normal” Gleichschaltung, to make sure that this never happens again.
Oh, yes, things are about to get “normal.” Extremely “normal.” Suffocatingly “normal.” Unimaginably oppressively “normal.” And I’m not just talking about the “Coronavirus measures.” This has been in the works for the last four years.
Remember, back in 2016, when everyone was so concerned about “normality,” and how Trump was “not normal,” and must never be “normalized?” Well, here we are. This is it. This is the part where GloboCap restores “normality,” a “new normality,” a pathologized-totalitarian “normality,” a “normality” which tolerates no dissent and demands complete ideological conformity.
From now on, when the GloboCap Intelligence Community and their mouthpieces in the corporate media tell you something happened, that thing will have happened, exactly as they say it happened, regardless of whether it actually happened, and anyone who says it didn’t will be labeled an “extremist,” a “conspiracy theorist,” a “denier,” or some other meaningless epithet. Such un-persons will be dealt with ruthlessly. They will be censored, deplatformed, demonetized, decertified, rendered unemployable, banned from traveling, socially ostracized, hospitalized, imprisoned, or otherwise erased from “normal” society.
You will do what you are told. You will not ask questions. You will believe whatever they tell you to believe.

offguardian--2020-12-19--How Belarus Exposes the Lockdown Lie

How Belarus Exposes the Lockdown Lie

Most European governments instituted the shutdown of economies , restrictions on freedom of movement and other policies known as lockdown .
This was allegedly in response to the spread of Sars-Cov-2 , a dangerous respiratory virus that originated in Wuhan , China .
Few countries rejected this approach ; Sweden is the most well known of these .
However , a more interesting case of dissent from the official narrative is Belarus and its leader Aleksandr Lukashenka .
This article will outline Lukashenka ’ s approach to the alleged pandemic , followed by an analysis of death figures and how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdown advocates .
The alleged pandemic broke out in Europe in March 2020 , and most European governments followed the severe strategy of imposing lockdowns .
Lukashenka ’ s response was much more limited .
A Belarussian press release from the 25th March talks about the quarantines set up for people who enter Belarus : Lukashenka also advocated staying at home if one has symptoms of the virus .
He also famously made some comments – reported widely in the Western media – giving health advice : Overall , the Belarussian approach has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Belarussian football went ahead as normal and fans were allowed to continue attending games .
Theatres , cafes and other social events continued and there was no shutdown of the economy .
Victory Day Parades also went ahead on the 9th May despite being cancelled in countries such as Russia .
Neither did Lukashenka delay scheduled elections , unlike Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand .
Western media treated Lukashenka ’ s approach as a laughable curiosity ( in cases where they did not ignore it entirely ) .
They mocked Lukashenka ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this was a way to avoid asking any deeper questions .
According to the official narrative , Belarus should have been a zone of death , destruction and disaster .
Neil Ferguson ’ s modelling – one of the key pieces of propaganda used to put Britain in lockdown – predicted that left unchecked Covid 19 would kill between 54,090 and 71,616 Belarussians .
So what are the facts ?
The population of Belarus is around 9.5million .
Of this population , as of December 12 , 2020 , a total of 1,263 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 19 .
It appears the first death in Belarus attributed to this disease was Mar 31 , with between 2 and 11 deaths recorded each day up until Dec.12 .
It goes without saying that 1,263 deaths out of a population of 9.5m is minuscule and hardly indicative of a deadly pandemic sweeping the country .
But critics of the Belarussian approach may claim that Lukashenka is hiding the reality of Covid 19 deaths in the country .
The most logical way to examine this question is to look at whether there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over this period , and if so , how many .
Of course , just because there were excess deaths would not prove that the deaths were caused – or otherwise – by hidden cases of Covid 19 .
But a relatively low number of excess deaths would reveal that the claim that Lukashenka is hiding mass deaths from Covid 19 is not plausible .
According to the data , there were some excess deaths in Belarus in the second quarter of 2020 ( April , May and June ) .
35,858 died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ higher than in 2019 .
Examining the data , we can see that the vast majority of these excess deaths were in June , with virtually none in April and a small excess in May .
This figure is rather small compared with the predictions of doom and destruction put forward by the likes of Neil Ferguson .
A comparison with another country that did pursue lockdowns gives further evidence that the scaremongering predictions regarding the consequences of not locking down are unfounded .
This analysis was performed by taking the number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same figures for England and Wales from the weekly death data from 2019 and 2020 .
Belarus had 5605 excess deaths in April , May and June 2020 from a population of 9.5 million .
England and Wales had 54,798 excess deaths in the same period from a population of 59.5 million .
The population of England and Wales is 6.26 times larger than that of Belarus , so dividing the 54,798 figure by 6.26 gives a result of 8754 .
If Belarus had the same excess death rate as England and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been observed .
Or to phrase this data another way , if England and Wales had the same excess death rate as Belarus , there would have been 19,711 fewer deaths over the period .
The BMJ ’ s article on Belarus : Saving the Case for Lockdowns ?
This evidence looks damning for lockdown supporters .
However , there is one attempt to explain the low Belarus death rate despite the fact that there was no lockdown there , printed in the British Medical Journal .
The article puts forward four @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rate , some of which offer comparative data with the UK .
The first reason given in the article is that Belarus has a much higher amount of beds per capita – 11 per 1000 as opposed to the UK ’ s 2.5 per 1000 .
Health services generally strike a balance between having enough beds available to deal with a crisis , and not so many that money is being wasted on unnecessary beds .
The argument can be made that the NHS gets the balance wrong and leans towards having too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the UK had a large number of flu cases in the 2017-2018 season with hospitals having high bed occupancy rates .
However , bed occupancy in the UK significantly decreased due to the lockdowns and NHS policy of discharging as many patients as possible .
On the 13th April , a few weeks into lockdown , acute beds were 40 % unoccupied .
This hardly suggests a health service that would have been totally overwhelmed had it not locked down ( for comparison , NHS beds are usually 90 % full ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case that the lockdown cost lives by cancelling treatment , expelling people from hospitals and promoting a fear based message that discouraged people from seeking treatment .
Another main argument of the article is that Belarus has a small number of elderly people in care homes ( it has 203 per 100,000 , as opposed to the UK 854 per 100,000 ) .
It is true that a respiratory pathogen will find it easier to spread in an environment like a care home because of the close proximity of vulnerable individuals .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a large number of care home deaths during this period .
However , the UK government policy towards care homes likely contributed at least some of the excess deaths caused during this period .
People in care homes were routinely denied hospital treatment and were unable to get access to GPs .
The lack of visits by family caused many elderly patients to mentally give up and their condition deteriorated .
Any deaths that resulted from this , therefore , can not be attributed to a virus but government policy .
The argument @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If the majority of deaths are in the fairly contained environment such as a care home , locking down the whole society , such as closing shops and sports events , is going to have no effect on transmission within that environment .
Two other reasons given in the article – the better Belarussian testing system , and the lack of interest in Belarus as a travel destination – also do not have any bearings on whether lockdowns are an effective strategy .
There is no evidence of people with a positive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It follows that testing more people isn ’ t going to lead to fewer deaths , so this can not explain the low Belarus death rate without a lockdown .
Belarus did carry out quarantine measures , whereas the UK continued to allow flights into the country .
The piece argues that it is easier for Belarus ( than the UK ) to close its borders because it is not a major travel destination , which is true , but it can ’ t seriously be argued that setting up quarantine measures costs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Once any hypothetical virus is also present in a country in significant numbers quarantine also becomes irrelevant .
The Belarussian case is a significant problem for those individuals who argue that lockdowns were necessary to prevent mass deaths from the deadly Covid 19 pandemic .
The limited measures taken in Belarus meant a lower death rate than lockdown supporting England and Wales .
There are also no clear arguments as to why Belarus is so unique it could go without lockdowns while other countries had them .
Given the cost to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , as well as the draconian restrictions on basic liberties , these facts strongly suggest that leaders that did impose lockdowns have a case to answer from their citizens .

Most European governments instituted the shutdown of economies, restrictions on freedom of movement and other policies known as lockdown. This was allegedly in response to the spread of Sars-Cov-2, a dangerous respiratory virus that originated in Wuhan, China.
Few countries rejected this approach; Sweden is the most well known of these. However, a more interesting case of dissent from the official narrative is Belarus and its leader Aleksandr Lukashenka.
This article will outline Lukashenka’s approach to the alleged pandemic, followed by an analysis of death figures and how the Belarussian case exposes the lies of lockdown advocates.
The Belarussian Approach to Covid 19
The alleged pandemic broke out in Europe in March 2020, and most European governments followed the severe strategy of imposing lockdowns. Lukashenka’s response was much more limited. A Belarussian press release from the 25th March talks about the quarantines set up for people who enter Belarus:
Quarantine stations were set up at all the points of entry. Screening measures include temperature checks. This system of control really works, [healthcare minister] Vladimir Karanik noted. This helped identify symptoms of a viral infection in more than 250 people, however the absolute majority of them had influenza, parainfluenza, and adenovirus. If a person tests positive for coronavirus, healthcare workers put their contacts under medical observation. “Such a targeted approach helps curb the spread of the virus,” the minister said.”
Lukashenka also advocated staying at home if one has symptoms of the virus. He also famously made some comments – reported widely in the Western media – giving health advice:
I am teetotal, but in recent times I say jokingly, that it is necessary to not only wash hands with vodka, but probably that [consuming] 40-50 grams of a measure of clean spirit a day – [can] “poison” [in commas in original text] this virus. But not at work.” He then says that “Today, go to the sauna. But if [you go] two-three times a week that is even healthier. The Chinese have told us that this virus cannot withstand temperatures of 60 degrees”.
Overall, the Belarussian approach has been the least authoritarian in Europe. Belarussian football went ahead as normal and fans were allowed to continue attending games. Theatres, cafes and other social events continued and there was no shutdown of the economy. Victory Day Parades also went ahead on the 9th May despite being cancelled in countries such as Russia. Neither did Lukashenka delay scheduled elections, unlike Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand.
Western media treated Lukashenka’s approach as a laughable curiosity (in cases where they did not ignore it entirely). They mocked Lukashenka’s comments about vodka and saunas, using this was a way to avoid asking any deeper questions.
According to the official narrative, Belarus should have been a zone of death, destruction and disaster. Neil Ferguson’s modelling – one of the key pieces of propaganda used to put Britain in lockdown – predicted that left unchecked Covid 19 would kill between 54,090 and 71,616 Belarussians.
So what are the facts?
Covid Deaths and Belarus
The population of Belarus is around 9.5million. Of this population, as of December 12, 2020, a total of 1,263 deaths are recorded as being from Covid 19. It appears the first death in Belarus attributed to this disease was Mar 31, with between 2 and 11 deaths recorded each day up until Dec.12.
It goes without saying that 1,263 deaths out of a population of 9.5m is minuscule and hardly indicative of a deadly pandemic sweeping the country. But critics of the Belarussian approach may claim that Lukashenka is hiding the reality of Covid 19 deaths in the country.
The most logical way to examine this question is to look at whether there are any excess deaths in Belarus in general over this period, and if so, how many. Of course, just because there were excess deaths would not prove that the deaths were caused – or otherwise – by hidden cases of Covid 19. But a relatively low number of excess deaths would reveal that the claim that Lukashenka is hiding mass deaths from Covid 19 is not plausible.
According to the data, there were some excess deaths in Belarus in the second quarter of 2020 (April, May and June). 35,858 died in Belarus during this period, 5606 higher than in 2019. Examining the data, we can see that the vast majority of these excess deaths were in June, with virtually none in April and a small excess in May.
This figure is rather small compared with the predictions of doom and destruction put forward by the likes of Neil Ferguson.
Belarus vs England and Wales
A comparison with another country that did pursue lockdowns gives further evidence that the scaremongering predictions regarding the consequences of not locking down are unfounded.
This analysis was performed by taking the number of excess deaths for Belarus and then calculating the same figures for England and Wales from the weekly death data from 2019 and 2020. Belarus had 5605 excess deaths in April, May and June 2020 from a population of 9.5 million. England and Wales had 54,798 excess deaths in the same period from a population of 59.5 million.
The population of England and Wales is 6.26 times larger than that of Belarus, so dividing the 54,798 figure by 6.26 gives a result of 8754. If Belarus had the same excess death rate as England and Wales another 3,149 deaths in Belarus would have been observed. Or to phrase this data another way, if England and Wales had the same excess death rate as Belarus, there would have been 19,711 fewer deaths over the period.
The BMJ’s article on Belarus: Saving the Case for Lockdowns?
This evidence looks damning for lockdown supporters. However, there is one attempt to explain the low Belarus death rate despite the fact that there was no lockdown there, printed in the British Medical Journal. The article puts forward four reasons why Belarus has a low death rate, some of which offer comparative data with the UK.
The first reason given in the article is that Belarus has a much higher amount of beds per capita – 11 per 1000 as opposed to the UK’s 2.5 per 1000.
Health services generally strike a balance between having enough beds available to deal with a crisis, and not so many that money is being wasted on unnecessary beds. The argument can be made that the NHS gets the balance wrong and leans towards having too few beds per capita. For example, the UK had a large number of flu cases in the 2017-2018 season with hospitals having high bed occupancy rates.
However, bed occupancy in the UK significantly decreased due to the lockdowns and NHS policy of discharging as many patients as possible. On the 13th April, a few weeks into lockdown, acute beds were 40% unoccupied. This hardly suggests a health service that would have been totally overwhelmed had it not locked down (for comparison, NHS beds are usually 90% full). It may actually have been the case that the lockdown cost lives by cancelling treatment, expelling people from hospitals and promoting a fear based message that discouraged people from seeking treatment.
Another main argument of the article is that Belarus has a small number of elderly people in care homes (it has 203 per 100,000, as opposed to the UK 854 per 100,000). It is true that a respiratory pathogen will find it easier to spread in an environment like a care home because of the close proximity of vulnerable individuals. It is also true that the UK had a large number of care home deaths during this period.
However, the UK government policy towards care homes likely contributed at least some of the excess deaths caused during this period. People in care homes were routinely denied hospital treatment and were unable to get access to GPs. The lack of visits by family caused many elderly patients to mentally give up and their condition deteriorated. Any deaths that resulted from this, therefore, cannot be attributed to a virus but government policy.
The argument also fails as a motivation for lockdowns. If the majority of deaths are in the fairly contained environment such as a care home, locking down the whole society, such as closing shops and sports events, is going to have no effect on transmission within that environment.
Two other reasons given in the article – the better Belarussian testing system, and the lack of interest in Belarus as a travel destination – also do not have any bearings on whether lockdowns are an effective strategy.
There is no evidence of people with a positive test but no symptoms being infectious. It follows that testing more people isn’t going to lead to fewer deaths, so this cannot explain the low Belarus death rate without a lockdown. Belarus did carry out quarantine measures, whereas the UK continued to allow flights into the country.
The piece argues that it is easier for Belarus (than the UK) to close its borders because it is not a major travel destination, which is true, but it can’t seriously be argued that setting up quarantine measures costs more than shutting down the entire country. Once any hypothetical virus is also present in a country in significant numbers quarantine also becomes irrelevant.
Conclusion
The Belarussian case is a significant problem for those individuals who argue that lockdowns were necessary to prevent mass deaths from the deadly Covid 19 pandemic. The limited measures taken in Belarus meant a lower death rate than lockdown supporting England and Wales. There are also no clear arguments as to why Belarus is so unique it could go without lockdowns while other countries had them.
Given the cost to the economy and mental wellbeing of imposing lockdowns, as well as the draconian restrictions on basic liberties, these facts strongly suggest that leaders that did impose lockdowns have a case to answer from their citizens.

I would wager from their point of view far too many people already saw it .

If that is the case it is genocide on a scale never seen before .
Cusak in his role presents it as a benign solution to the intractability of overpopulation .
But family @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our lives .
To rob people of the chance to create their own families is to take everything .
It will make zombies of the people left .

But throughout there will be very little actual state killing .
Just the drip drip turning into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Utopia arrives : the world cleansed of the useless eaters .
Billionaires can then enjoy their Neverland Ranch of a planet without those unwashed crowds of homo sapiens stinking the place up .
Do I think this is what they ’ re planning ?

They have never had much use for us .
Railroad magnet Jay Gould famously said , “ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kill the other half.

The Great Reset seems to be run out of Klaus Schwab ’ s Fuhrer Bunker at the WEF and we can be certain that the globalist billionaire class , aka the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gang of suckhole countries , the rest of The Five Eyes , are all on board .
Russia and China both seem to be getting along without the need of population reduction .
And why would they mind if the West crashes their population ?

And conversely wouldn ’ t the prospect of depopulation of their people just seem like an attempt to dupe them ?
I mean why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it when it would probably be seen as an attempt by the West to weaken them ?

It’s 2030, I don’t own anything and I’ve never been happier.
They don’t go into just who will own everything but as they haven’t proposed eliminating capitalism it isn’t hard to guess.

And I am not a lone nut in considering this or contemplating the possibility. Dr. Mike Yeadon and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg both warn that the Pfizer vaccine will likely impair our ability to procreate.
The vaccine* contains a spike protein… called syncytin-1, vital for the formation of human placenta in women. If the vaccine works so that we form an immune response AGAINST the spike protein, we are also training the female body to attack syncytin-1, which could lead to infertility in women of an unspecified duration.

Professor Sir John Bell top UK Covid advisor and member of SAGE startled his interviewer when he said:
these vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilize a population…say 60-70%.
Of course they wouldn’t include their own billionaire class. They, along with the Royals, seem to be extremely fertile as well as long lived. And they would need a cohort of people to serve them, both in high level positions and low.

And vaccines being used for birth control is not a new idea. They have been studied for some time for their efficacy towards that goal.
Here’s a worrisome quote from an August 1994 article in the FASEB Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) Journal, (“highly cited and consistently ranks among the top biology journals”):
The authors conclude that their “findings provide insights to possible endocrinological effects of an hCG 3CTP-based WHO promoted birth control vaccine on which a phase I clinical trial has already been completed” and that “might not reliably fulfil major expectations with respect to safety and efficacy?’ We submit that the authors provided only a repetition of old information and biased speculation, which could be damaging to progress in this field.
The article is defending the WHO against claims of some researchers about the safety of their birth control vaccine 26 years ago.
Just imagine how neat that is for their plans. While they have the majority of people terrified they vaccinate them. Then, as easily as they ramped up their Potemkin pandemic, they wind it down. People, the great mass anyway, are kept perpetually on the back foot by bizarre policy shifts always in the interest of biosafety, of course. The sterilization plan takes some time for people to catch on. When it becomes apparent there are far fewer children being born they will have a plan to explain it. It was the Cvd; it was something.

failed to connect with an audience.
That is pure bullshit. It was a hit.

the results [of broadcasting Utopia] are catastrophic —
Really? Are we not capable of discerning fiction and reality and if fiction is reality don’t we need to know that too?
This is what SLATE has to say is the problem with showing Utopia (my emphasis, bold and italics):
We are in the middle of an actual pandemic, a staggering number of Americans sincerely believe that that pandemic is a politically motivated hoax, and an equally staggering number believed vaccines were harmful years before COVID-19 emerged. It’s not the filmmakers’ fault we’re in this mess; it’s not their fault so much of the public is superstitious and gullible; and it won’t be their fault if Utopia gives some dumbass the confidence they need to quit wearing a mask and infect and kill you or the people you care about.
It will probably not be a revelation to you that SLATE is totally on board with the Covid narrative and thinks we who aren’t are dumbasses, superstitious, gullible and, without masks, loaded guns ready to kill people.
But even with the hyperbole above SLATE isn’t finished, they have to bring President Trump in via the back door, ie. QAnon (bold emphasis mine):
Even if everyone who sees Utopia is capable of distinguishing fact from fantasy — and that’s vanishingly unlikely in a nation that is sending QAnon followers to Congress — it’s impossible to enjoy a story where the heroes convince themselves that shadowy forces have manufactured a phony pandemic to trick people into taking a dangerous vaccine when those exact beliefs are helping to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Although it’s interesting to speculate, I don’t think it’s vitally important to know the intention of a drama that, sans the action movie veneer, is playing out in real time as we speak.
Leaving fiction aside for the time being, I am one of those “staggering numbers” who believe the novel coronavirus pandemic to be a gross exaggeration and was deployed as a controlled demolition of our lives as we have been living them.
So the question is do they plan a Great Reset of the current population (to 1804’s 1 billion) as well as all of their modern 4th Industrial Revolution wet dreams?
I’m seriously contemplating the prospect that, just as portrayed in Utopia, the vaccine they are clearly desperate for us to take — or else why would they need to force us — will not actually kill people. Or at least that will not be its principal target. It will be to sterilize us.
If that is the case it is genocide on a scale never seen before. Cusak in his role presents it as a benign solution to the intractability of overpopulation. But family is the beating heart of most of our lives. To rob people of the chance to create their own families is to take everything. It will make zombies of the people left.
But, of course, the people left will be too weak and demoralized to do much of anything. They may be offered distractions to live out their years, which will no doubt be shortened by those very same vaccines and the withholding of healthcare. But throughout there will be very little actual state killing. Just the drip drip turning into a tide of unborn children until their Utopia arrives: the world cleansed of the useless eaters. Billionaires can then enjoy their Neverland Ranch of a planet without those unwashed crowds of homo sapiens stinking the place up.
Do I think this is what they’re planning? I don’t know for sure but it’s my primary suspicion. It all fits once you can get your mind around the immense evil of it. They have never had much use for us. Railroad magnet Jay Gould famously said, “I can hire half the working class to kill the other half.”
His musing bespeaks a horrific fantasy of elimination.
We, the working class, were at best only to be tolerated for what use we could be to them. Now that we’re no longer that, it’s sayonara.
There’s one thing that puzzles me greatly though and that’s the role of China and Russia. The Great Reset seems to be run out of Klaus Schwab’s Fuhrer Bunker at the WEF and we can be certain that the globalist billionaire class, aka the ruling class Americans, Europeans and that gang of suckhole countries, the rest of The Five Eyes, are all on board.
Russia and China both seem to be getting along without the need of population reduction. And why would they mind if the West crashes their population? It would actually seem to be a benefit to them, unless the West is planning to be the Sparta of the future.

offguardian--2020-12-21--The Lord Protector Abolishes Christmas

The Lord Protector Abolishes Christmas

For the first time since the restoration of the Monarchy in England in 1660 Christmas has been abolished in many parts of the country .
The original abolition of Christmas came just 417 years and three days earlier when a previous Lord Protector , Oliver Cromwell , came to power following the English Civil War .
“ After the execution of the King ” , states Wikipedia… Today , many regard the present Parliament as a ‘ rump parliament ’ , or , to put it in the words of journalist Peter Hitchens , ‘ a dead parrot parliament ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been severely restricted because of the claims of a deadly pandemic , despite a government announcement saying , “ As of 19 March 2020 , COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease ( HCID ) in the UK ” .
Lately there have been concerns that Boris Johnson has acquired dictatorial powers , making laws by decree , and possibly even marginalising the Queen .
His Council of State is known as SAGE , though with his latest announcement , it seems that that has been replaced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Virus Threats ’ ( NERVTAG ) .

For the first time since the restoration of the Monarchy in England in 1660 Christmas has been abolished in many parts of the country. The original abolition of Christmas came just 417 years and three days earlier when a previous Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, came to power following the English Civil War.
“After the execution of the King”, states Wikipedia…
a republic was declared, known as the ‘Commonwealth of England’. The ‘Rump Parliament’ exercised both executive and legislative powers, with a smaller Council of State also having some executive functions. Cromwell remained a member of the ‘Rump’ and was appointed a member of the council.
Today, many regard the present Parliament as a ‘rump parliament’, or, to put it in the words of journalist Peter Hitchens, ‘a dead parrot parliament’. Attendance at the House of Commons has been severely restricted because of the claims of a deadly pandemic, despite a government announcement saying, “As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK” .
Lately there have been concerns that Boris Johnson has acquired dictatorial powers, making laws by decree, and possibly even marginalising the Queen.
His Council of State is known as SAGE, though with his latest announcement, it seems that that has been replaced by their ‘New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats’ (NERVTAG). One member of NERVTAG, Professor Neil Ferguson, had previously resigned from SAGE, after he was seen to break the government rules, which had arisen through the alarmist statistics of exponential growth of the pandemic, based on his own department’s statistics.
Speaking at a televised press conference in Clowning Street, Lord Protector Boris Johnson stated on 19 December that the Chrismas break in the COVID-19 restrictions would now be limited to just Christmas day in many parts of the country, and would be abolished altogether in others. However, a large part of Southern England, which had only three days previously had been put into Tier 3, would now be placed in a new Tier 4. He stated:
Residents in those areas must stay at home, apart from limited exemptions set out in law. Non-essential retail, indoor gyms and leisure facilities, and personal care services must close. People must work from home if they can, but may travel to work if this is not possible, for example in the construction and manufacturing sectors. People should not enter or leave tier 4 areas, and tier 4 residents must not stay overnight away from home. Individuals can only meet one person from another household in an outdoor public space. Unlike the November national restrictions, communal worship can continue to take place in tier 4 areas. These measures will take effect from tomorrow morning.
He didn’t explain how people will be able to attend places of communal worship if they must stay at home.
On the question of Christmas, he stated:
Given the early evidence we have on this new variant of the virus, and the potential risk it poses, it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you we cannot continue with Christmas as planned. In England, those living in tier 4 areas should not mix with anyone outside their own household at Christmas, though support bubbles will remain in place for those at particular risk of loneliness or isolation. Across the rest of the country, the Christmas rules allowing up to three households to meet will now be limited to Christmas Day only, rather than the five days as previously set out.
He explained that the reason for the changes was a “new variant of the virus”, which they learned about earlier in the week. He stated:
As your Prime Minister, I sincerely believe there is no alternative open to me. Without action, the evidence suggests infections would soar, hospitals would become overwhelmed and many thousands more would lose their lives.
However, the only reference to the evidence was that they had none:
There is no evidence the variant causes more severe illness or higher mortality, but it does appear to be passed on significantly more easily. … There is still much we don’t know. While we are fairly certain the variant is transmitted more quickly, there is no evidence to suggest that it is more lethal or causes more severe illness. Equally there is no evidence to suggest the vaccine will be any less effective against the new variant.
Following the press conference the government put out a press release, in which they list the areas which will come under Tier 4 as:
Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey (excluding Waverley), Gosport, Havant, Portsmouth, Rother and Hastings; London (all 32 boroughs and the City of London); and the East of England (Bedford, Central Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton, Peterborough, Hertfordshire, Essex excluding Colchester, Uttlesford and Tendring).
Then, remarkably, they state:
In Tier 4 the ‘Stay At Home’ message will be put in law.
There was no explanation of how this would be put in law before coming into effect the following morning, as stated at the press conference. Was it put to Parliament overnight? Or has it been enacted by decree? It would appear to be the latter.
But how were we supposed to know what the law was, when we woke up the next morning?
A professor of Soviet and East European Comparative Law at the London School of Economics once explained to me that in the West we know what the law is before we break it, whereas in the Soviet Union they know what the law is only after they break it. So where is the legal text for that law? I suppose the rules are now different in the New Normal of the new Commonwealth of England under the new Lord Protector.
We all want to be protected from the deadly virus, even if it’s not considered to be a high consequence infectious disease in the UK. “When the science changes, we must change our response”, stated the Lord Protector. Indeed, the science being changed by YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, vested interests in the mass media, and of course Big Pharma.
Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage, who now leads the Reform Party, tweeted: “Congratulations Prime Minister and your experts, you have caused the first evacuation of London since 1939” in response to a tweet by Politics for All, showing a video of “Londoners fleeing from St Pancras this evening following the Tier 4 announcement”.
Comments are also coming in from mainstream churnalists.
BREAKING: Boris Johnson cancels Christmas. He’s therefore, by his own yardstick, inhuman
…tweeted Piers Morgan.
Cabinet members have been briefed that the PM expected to announce a Tier 4, tighter covid restrictions for London and SE at 4pm this afternoon – and will cut back on the planned relaxation of the rules over Christmas
…tweeted BBC churnalist Laura Kuensberg.
That sounds about right: ‘briefed’, not ‘consulted’, as would have been the case when we had Cabinet government.
I think, though, that many will suspect that the real reason for abolishing Christmas in a vast area of England may have something to do with the difficulties that current censorship is having in suppressing the increasingly large body of pandemic sceptics.
What else could the Lord Protector do to keep us safe?

Update 21 December: Boris Johnson addressed the nation live this evening, regarding the recent travel restrictions imposed by France, as well as confirming “over 500,000 people in the UK have now received their first dose” of the vaccine. He assured the public that the virus is “steadily being defeated by an international response that is bringing the hope of vaccines to the the entire world and, in that, the UK will continue to play its full part”. He also essentially reaffirmed the above statements, as well as reemphasising that the transmissibility of the ‘new strain’ has ‘substantially’ increased, but with ‘no evidence’ that the disease is different in any other way — ed.

offguardian--2020-12-22--What’s actually IN the US “Covid Stimulus Bill”?

The answer to that is nothing like as simple as you ’ d expect , given the name .
The US congress just passed their Covid stimulus bill , or the “ Consolidated Appropriations Act , 2021 ” to give its official title .
So what ’ s actually inside it ?
What has just been passed into law ?
The answers to that is “ nobody really knows ” , least of all the members of congress , who passed the law without reading it , as they so often do .
It ’ s the longest bill in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and it sailed through the voting mostly sight unseen .
We ’ ve downloaded a copy of the full document and will embed it below for those of you patient or masochistic enough to tackle the whole thing .
We ’ ve read some already , and will point out the highlights : • “ Foreign aid ” is a big winner .
Egypt is getting $ 1.3 billion , Sudan , Israel and Ukraine get over 500 million each , and many other countries around the world sizeable contributions , much of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” .
Which is to say sent straight back to America via massive arms purchases .
• Not all the money being sent overseas is for buying weapons , some is for backing coups .
Venezuela and Belarus get special mention here , each getting their own section of the bill detailing how terrible their “ illegal regimes ” are .
There ’ s also a large section on “ combating Chinese influence ” .
• For some reason there ’ s another section on copyright law , which makes illegal streaming copyrighted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to three years in prison .
• Nearly 300 million is put aside to develop influenza vaccines and prevent a future influenza pandemic .
• 4 BILLION dollars for the Gates-funded GAVI , the Vaccine Alliance .
• Vaccine “ misinformation ” is also a concern , and the bill provides for a pro-vaccine propaganda campaign – or rather a “ PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATIONS ” So – huge amounts of foreign aid , support for various coups , totally irrelevent copyright laws , provisions for pro-vaccine propaganda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stimulus bill ” so far , is it ?
If you ’ re aware of any other concerning , confusing or straight up corrupt passages or implications in this bill , post a comment below and we ’ ll add them to the list .

The answer to that is nothing like as simple as you’d expect, given the name.
The US congress just passed their Covid stimulus bill, or the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021” to give its official title. So what’s actually inside it? What has just been passed into law?
The answers to that is “nobody really knows”, least of all the members of congress, who passed the law without reading it, as they so often do. It’s the longest bill in US history, at over 5500 pages and it sailed through the voting mostly sight unseen.
We’ve downloaded a copy of the full document and will embed it below for those of you patient or masochistic enough to tackle the whole thing. We’ve read some already, and will point out the highlights:
“Foreign aid” is a big winner. Egypt is getting $1.3 billion, Sudan, Israel and Ukraine get over 500 million each, and many other countries around the world sizeable contributions, much of which will be spent on “defense”. Which is to say sent straight back to America via massive arms purchases.
Not all the money being sent overseas is for buying weapons, some is for backing coups. Venezuela and Belarus get special mention here, each getting their own section of the bill detailing how terrible their “illegal regimes” are. There’s also a large section on “combating Chinese influence”.
For some reason there’s another section on copyright law, which makes illegal streaming copyrighted content a federal crimes, punishable by up to three years in prison.
Nearly 300 million is put aside to develop influenza vaccines and prevent a future influenza pandemic.
4 BILLION dollars for the Gates-funded GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.
Vaccine “misinformation” is also a concern, and the bill provides for a pro-vaccine propaganda campaign – or rather a “PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATIONS”
So – huge amounts of foreign aid, support for various coups, totally irrelevent copyright laws, provisions for pro-vaccine propaganda campaigns…it’s not your typical “stimulus bill” so far, is it?
If you’re aware of any other concerning, confusing or straight up corrupt passages or implications in this bill, post a comment below and we’ll add them to the list.
