21stcenturywire--2020-10-11--Under Colour of COVID, UK Gov’t on Mission to Destroy the British Pub

Nowhere is the smell of battle between the UK Government and its subjects more pungent than in one of the country ’ s greatest and most enduring institutions , the British pub .
Due to a raft of draconian government COVID policies , the country ’ s hospitality industry is now crumbling ( along with tens of thousands of jobs ) , and with Boris Johnson ’ s government standing over it – seemingly eager to deliver the final death blow this winter .
Besides the economic devastation , the issue is becoming increasingly divisive to society – indicative of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Government cuts in operating hours have meant a substantial loss of income for independent business already on the ropes from forced lockdowns over spring and summer .
Moreover , with pubs only open for limited service but with large crowds , it also raises questions of policy inconsistency like : why are pubs allowed to open and not gyms ?
Why is the State ’ s notorious “ Rule of Six ” not applicable to pubs , but supposedly enforced in people ’ s homes , and even outdoors in parks ?

Nowhere is the smell of battle between the UK Government and its subjects more pungent than in one of the country’s greatest and most enduring institutions, the British pub. Due to a raft of draconian government COVID policies, the country’s hospitality industry is now crumbling (along with tens of thousands of jobs), and with Boris Johnson’s government standing over it – seemingly eager to deliver the final death blow this winter.
Besides the obvious economic devastation to the hospitality sector, this issue is becoming increasingly divisive to society – indicative of a government-contrived class and cultural wedge issue. Government cuts in operating hours have meant a substantial loss of income for independent business already on the ropes from forced lockdowns over spring and summer. Moreover, with pubs only open for limited service but with large crowds, it also raises questions of policy inconsistency like: why are pubs allowed to open and not gyms? Why is the State’s notorious “Rule of Six” not applicable to pubs, but supposedly enforced in people’s homes, and even outdoors in parks? Why are crowds allowed in restaurants and pubs, but health ministers and NHS have barred partners from accompanying pregnant women for scans or appointments, and not even allowed to attend an early labour session?
Meanwhile, the Government and mainstream media have cleverly framed the argument to set people against each other, as “one person’s laxity or enjoyment is ever more taken as a direct insult to another person’s caution.” This, along with a clear concerted effort by media to disingenuously blame young people and their social lives for a ‘surge in COVID cases’ – while they routinely fail to mention that youth are at near zero risk of any health complications from carrying a coronavirus.

have some sympathy with politicians trying to make evidence-based decisions in unprecedented times. The wheels of peer-reviewed science turn slowly. When it comes to specific policy measures, such as what to do with the hospitality industry during Covid-19, we are in uncharted territory.
Nevertheless, it does not inspire confidence when the Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, is passing around a dodgy dossier in private meetings with MPs. Whitty seems determined to find evidence that pubs are a significant source of transmission, so they can be closed down.
When the Scottish Government announced the closure of most of its pubs on Wednesday, it could only muster the claim that around 20 per cent of people with the virus had visited a hospitality venue in the past week. Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer admitted that this did not prove that any of them had been infected in a pub, nor that they had infected anyone else in a pub. Correlation doesn’t equal causation and this was barely even a correlation. Without knowing how many non-infected people go to the pub each week, the statistic is meaningless.
More useful are the NHS Test and Trace figures showing where infected people have had ‘close, recent contact [with other people] and places they have visited’. The most common exposure, by far, is in the home. Only 5 per cent of individuals with the virus report having had close contact with other people in what Public Health England unhelpfully classifies ‘leisure/community’. This is an extremely broad category that lumps together ‘eating out, attending events and celebrations, exercising, worship, arts, entertainment or recreation, community activities and attending play groups or organised trips’.
Despite the wide range of activities listed, only one in twenty Covid-19 cases mention having been involved in any of them. The number of people who visited a pub specifically must be significantly lower than five per cent and the number of people who were infected in them lower still.

The 10pm ‘curfew’ is now widely acknowledged to be a mistake. Empirical evidence is again lacking, but there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that it has led to crowds on public transport and an increase in house parties. It is easy to imagine a further surge in unregulated private gatherings if pubs are closed down altogether.
When the curfew began two weeks ago, the seven day average of new Covid-19 cases was running at around 6,000. It has since doubled. In Bolton, pubs have been closed since 8 September. When the shutdown began, the seven day average was running at 88 new cases per day. It now stands at 109. Pubs reopened nationwide on 4 July, but it was not until late August that the virus began to grow significantly. In Leicester, pubs remained closed until 3 August and yet the rate of infection continued falling in the city until September when, in common with rest of the country, there was a resurgence.
In short, there is vanishingly little evidence to support the idea that shutting down highly regulated hospitality venues breaks the cycle of transmission. It might even make things worse.
Instead of resorting to a socially damaging and economically disastrous shutdown of the hospitality industry, the government should revisit these measures, strengthen them based on lessons learnt, and ensure consistent enforcement.

From the start, the alleged Navalny poisoning was riddled with contradictions and should have raised eyebrows by every politician and journalist. Being discharged from the Charité Clinic in Berlin, Navalny went into attack mode against President Vladimir Putin. As it seems, this will be his role designed to him by the intelligence agencies. In a couple of days, the Navalny hype will be over. One can only blame Putin for the alleged poising once. If Navalny had the guts, he would return to his homeland and fight Putin politically.
The whole poisoning hoax stinks to high heaven. If Navalny would have been really poisoned, he and his companions, not to speak of all the other passengers in the plane, would have been poisoned too. None of them was. What a surprise? His “poisoning” was of the same sort as the one of the Spripals. There was nothing. Since their recuperation, they have disappeared. Are they still alive? The fooling of the public works only once, and the British MI5 has a long history of leading the public astray.
There are further inconsistencies in the case. Navalny’s backers even found water bottles in his apartment, which were allegedly also poisoned. How could they bring them openly to Germany? How could the whole Navalny entourage travel to Germany without any restrictions, especially under Corona restrictions? They could even go back and force. By the way, Navalny was apparently poisoned drinking a cup of tea before boarding a plane, which he would take him to Moscow. The plane had to make an emergency landing because Navalny started screaming on board. But the pictures of these incidents seemed staged and unrealistic.
The stop of Nord Stream 2 would damage not only German national interest but also the Russian one. Canceling the project, Germany would have to pay Billions of Euros compensation to the companies, and Germany would lose every credibility as a serious trade partner. Over a year, US President Donald Trump has been putting enormous pressure on the German government to cancel the project. Instead, Germany should buy expensive US fracking gas. If the Germans succumb to US blackmail, it will demonstrate to the world that Germany is still a US colony and not sovereign.
German foreign minister Heiko Maas cut the worse figure. He is the main agitator against Russia. Maas used his video speech at the United Nations to attack Russia to deliver “evidence” of the Navalny’s poisoning. Russia can’t contribute anything to it because Navalny wasn’t poisoned. Since Maas was appointed to his job, anti-Russian rhetoric increased. Together with other politicians from the Christian Democratic Party and the Greens, Germany follows a hostile policy towards Russia. The German side refused to answer three letters of Russia’s request to provide evidence of the “poisoning.” Maas seems to have a complex about his childish appearance. Perhaps that’s why he haves like a snip.
If Angela Merkel lets Maas go on like this, the German-Russian relationship will be completely screwed up. A long tradition, established by former Chancellor Willy Brandt and his adviser Egon Bahr will go down the drain. Only the US will profit from such a deterioration in relations.

The World Health Organization has finally confirmed what we ( and many experts and studies ) have been saying for months – the coronavirus is no more deadly or dangerous than seasonal flu .

The World Health Organization has finally confirmed what we (and many experts and studies) have been saying for months – the coronavirus is no more deadly or dangerous than seasonal flu.
The WHO’s top brass made this announcement during a special session of the WHO’s 34-member executive board on Monday October 5th, it’s just nobody seemed to really understand it.
In fact, they didn’t seem to completely understand it themselves.
At the session, Dr Michael Ryan, the WHO’s Head of Emergencies revealed that they believe roughly 10% of the world has been infected with Sars-Cov-2. This is their “best estimate”, and a huge increase over the number of officially recognised cases (around 35 million).
Dr. Margaret Harris, a WHO spokeswoman, later confirmed the figure, stating it was based on the average results of all the broad seroprevalence studies done around the world.
As much as the WHO were attempting to spin this as a bad thing – Dr Ryan even said it means “the vast majority of the world remains at risk.” – it’s actually good news. And confirms, once more, that the virus is nothing like as deadly as everyone predicted.
The global population is roughly 7.8 billion people, if 10% have been infected that is 780 million cases. The global death toll currently attributed to Sars-Cov-2 infections is 1,061,539.
That’s an infection fatality rate of roughly or 0.14%. Right in line with seasonal flu and the predictions of many experts from all around the world.
0.14% is over 24 times LOWER than the WHO’s “provisional figure” of 3.4% back in March. This figure was used in the models which were used to justify lockdowns and other draconian policies.
In fact, given the over-reporting of alleged Covid deaths, the IFR is likely even lower than 0.14%, and could show Covid to be much less dangerous than flu.
None of the mainstream press picked up on this. Though many outlets reported Dr Ryan’s words, they all attempted to make it a scary headline and spread more panic.
Apparently neither they, nor the WHO, were capable of doing the simple maths that shows us this is good news. And that the Covid sceptics have been right all along.
UPDATE 9/10/20: In the interest of thoroughness, a desire to rely on primary sources, and not depending purely on mainstream sources (which may remove or amend articles), I decided to find the actual video of Dr Ryan’s remarks.
For some reason, although this was an important WHO meeting during an allegedly hyper-serious pandemic, the video is hard to find. The only place you are able to see it is the WHO’s own website, and even then you have to scrub through almost 6 hours of footage. Well, I did that, and you are welcome.
You can’t embed the WHO’s stream, but I can tell you to go to this page, click “Session 1” and skip to 1:01:33 to hear the exact quote:
“Our current best estimates tell us that about ten percent of the global population may have been infected by this virus. This varies depending on country, it varies from urban to rural, it varies between different groups.”

21stcenturywire--2020-10-12--Australian Media Calling Out Davos ‘Great Reset’ Agenda

This week , Sky News Australia contributor and former Australian Senator Cory Bernardi , tore open the debate on COVID after calling out a globalist agenda which few in mainstream media have dared to mention so far .
Since lockdowns began in March of 2020 , few have challenged the government rationale for voluntarily imploding their economies and destroying communities and societies – based on a guess that coronavirus might kill tens of millions of citizens .
However , Bernardi believes that the COVID-19 pandemic hysteria is being used as the Trojan Horse for a globalist agenda hatched out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s called The Great Reset , and its designed by elite billionaires supposedly to bring about ‘ social and economic change.
’ “ There is something unusual about the continuing pandemic panic , ” said Bernardi .
“ Medical experts now acknowledge that lockdowns don ’ t work….Now none of that makes any sense until you open your mind to consider if there is another agenda at work.
” According to technocrat , Klaus Schwab , founder and Chairman of the World Economic Forum , “ COVID 19 cases have shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fit anymore for the 21st century , it has laid bare a fundamental lack of social cohesion , fairness , inclusion and equality.
” “ Now is the historical moment of time not only to fight the … virus but to shape the system … for the post-corona era , ” claims Schwab .
“ ( Mr Schwab ) admits that COVID is the new excuse to usher in the Green New Deal that climate alarmists , profiteers and big government have been pushing for years , ” said Bernardi .
“ Think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID has been a green socialist ’ s dream.
” Bernardi cites the fact that coordinated government shutdown policies ( not COVID ) have brought down fuel consumption and canceled international travel and bankrupted scores of airlines and travel firms already .
In addition , governments are using the ‘ pandemic ’ to permanently curtail civil liberties and freedom of movement and assembly .
“ Why do you think the Australian Greens have been so quiet these past months … it ’ s because their policy agenda is coming to life ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peddling climate change lies and propaganda to force government by the elites , the socialists have used a media induced hysteria over public health as their latest weapon of economic destruction.
” The end game of creating to illusion of a global pandemic emergency is to rapidly usher-in the introduction of a ‘ Green New Deal ‘ policy – where billionaires seek to restructure our capitalist system into a new ‘ green economy ’ – promising equality and “ climate justice ” along the way .

The end game of creating to illusion of a global pandemic emergency is to rapidly usher-in the introduction of a ‘Green New Deal‘ policy – where billionaires seek to restructure our capitalist system into a new ‘green economy’ – promising equality and “climate justice” along the way.
He also highlights the fact that many of the same scientists and institutions involved in the fraudulent over-the-top modelling of COVID deaths – are also involved in IPCC computer modeled projections of supposed future climate change.
In this segment, Mr. Bernardi explains what’s actually behind the mass-panic being fomented by certain governments and mainstream media, hyping the idea that the world is in the midst of a “deadly plague” and public health crisis. Watch:

21stcenturywire--2020-10-12--US Hearings Reveal Washington’s Covert Support for ‘Color Revolutions’ Around the World

Last week , the House Foreign Affairs Committee grilled Michael Pack , who President Trump recently appointed to head the US government ’ s state propaganda arm , the US Agency for Global Media ( USAGM ) .
Pack was appointed in June and started a big shakeup at the US state media outlets run by the USAGM , like Voice of America and Radio Free Asia .
Pack fired senior staffers , pushed out management , and froze funding .
During last week ’ s hearing , Democrats and Republicans on the committee teamed up to attack Pack for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ important to Congress and former USAGM officials was Pack ’ s move to freeze funds to the Open Technology Fund ( OTF ) .
The OTF was formed in 2012 and operated as part of Radio Free Asia for seven years .
In 2019 , the OTF became an independent non-profit , although it is financed by US taxpayer dollars through the USAGM .
According to former USAGM officials and OTF board members , the OTF supports protesters in other nations across the world .
“ In many places around the globe , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” said Grant Turner , the former USAGM chief financial officer , who Pack removed in August .
“ So the Hong Kong protesters are protecting their identities from surveillance by OTF tools ; protesters in Iran ; we ’ ve seen it in Beirut , ” Turner said .
Ambassador Karen Kornbluh , who sits on the board of the OTF , also testified and spoke of how the OTF helps protest movements .
“ OTF has a long history of supporting internet freedom efforts , and was poised to expand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kornbluh said .

Last week, the House Foreign Affairs Committee grilled Michael Pack, who President Trump recently appointed to head the US government’s state propaganda arm, the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
Pack was appointed in June and started a big shakeup at the US state media outlets run by the USAGM, like Voice of America and Radio Free Asia. Pack fired senior staffers, pushed out management, and froze funding.
During last week’s hearing, Democrats and Republicans on the committee teamed up to attack Pack for his purges. But what seemed more important to Congress and former USAGM officials was Pack’s move to freeze funds to the Open Technology Fund (OTF). The OTF was formed in 2012 and operated as part of Radio Free Asia for seven years. In 2019, the OTF became an independent non-profit, although it is financed by US taxpayer dollars through the USAGM.
According to former USAGM officials and OTF board members, the OTF supports protesters in other nations across the world. “In many places around the globe, OTF quietly is providing support to protesters,” said Grant Turner, the former USAGM chief financial officer, who Pack removed in August. “So the Hong Kong protesters are protecting their identities from surveillance by OTF tools; protesters in Iran; we’ve seen it in Beirut,” Turner said.
Ambassador Karen Kornbluh, who sits on the board of the OTF, also testified and spoke of how the OTF helps protest movements. “OTF has a long history of supporting internet freedom efforts, and was poised to expand its efforts in Hong Kong,” Kornbluh said. “It was going to serve support for circumvention tools and expand support for digital training.”
Kornbluh explained that the USAGM froze OTF funds before China’s national security law for Hong Kong came into effect. “And then USAGM froze, and continues to withhold, its funding – and did that just weeks before the new security laws came into effect,” Kornbluh said. “So OTF hasn’t been able to support any of these efforts.”
The frozen Hong Kong funds were first reported by Time magazine in June. According to Time, Pack froze $2 million that would have “directly benefited the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.” One project the OTF was working on in Hong Kong was a “cybersecurity incident response team” that would have analyzed Chinese surveillance techniques in Hong Kong. The team would have shared information with developers who would design apps for protesters to use. The freeze in funding made this project impossible to go through with.
Another OTF project hampered by the freeze was a $500,000 “rapid response fund, designed to provide fast relief for civil society groups, protesters, journalists, and human rights defenders.” According to Time, this initiative has already made several payouts to groups in Hong Kong since the civil unrest began in June 2019.
The cut in funding inadvertently revealed the US government’s covert role in the Hong Kong protest movement. The US government-funded National Endowment for Democracy also provides funding for “pro-democracy” movements in Hong Kong.
Besides the US government supporting Hong Kong protesters through cutout organizations like the OTF and NED, there has been more overt interference in the city. Throughout the demonstrations, protesters were seen waving US flags and calling for Congress to pass legislation. Leaders of the movement even traveled to Washington and testified before Congress, pleading for US intervention.
President Trump signed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act into law in November 2019. The administration has since sanctioned Hong Kong officials and changed the city’s special trade status. This US interference gave Beijing the foreign boogeyman it needed to pass the controversial national security law.
Pack was appointed to head the USAGM after the White House accused Voice of America of repeating Chinese state propaganda in its coronavirus coverage. Considering this, the damage Pack’s overhaul did to the OTF’s support for protesters in Hong Kong was likely an unintended consequence.

The Times reports…
Legal experts have warned of a “privacy crisis” caused by a rise in companies exploiting QR barcodes to take names, addresses, telephone numbers and email details, before passing them on to marketers, credit companies and insurance brokers.
The “quick response” mobile codes have been widely adopted by the hospitality, leisure and beauty industries as an alternative to pen-and-paper visitor logs since the government ordered businesses to collect contact details to give to NHS Test and Trace if required.
Any data collected should be kept by the business for 21 days and must not be used “for any purposes other than for NHS Test and Trace”, according to government guidelines.
But some firms used by businesses to meet the new requirements have clauses in their terms and conditions stating they can use the information for reasons other than contact tracing, including sharing it with third parties. The privacy policy of one company used by a restaurant chain in London says it stores users’ data for 25 years.
Gaurav Malhotra, director of Level 5, a software development company that supplies the government, said data could end up in the hands of scammers. “If you’re suddenly getting loads of texts, your data has probably been sold on from track-and-trace systems,” he said.
Since September 24 certain businesses have been required to display an NHS poster with a QR code that allows users to check in through the official Covid-19 app, which can alert them if they have visited a venue where they may have been exposed. Pubs, restaurants and other venues such as gyms, museums and salons must still keep their own logs.
One of the firms claiming to offer a privacy-compliant QR code service is Pub Track and Trace (PUBTT), an organisation based in Huddersfield charging pubs £20 a month to keep track of visitors, who are asked to provide their name, phone number and email address.
Despite its claim to be a “simple” service, its privacy policy, which users must accept, explains how personal data of people accessing its website can be used to “make suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or services that may be of interest to you” and shared with third parties including “service providers or regulatory bodies providing fraud prevention services or credit/background checks.”

21stcenturywire--2020-10-12--Australian Media Finally Calls Out Davos ‘Great Reset’ Agenda

This week , Sky News Australia contributor and former Australian Senator Cory Bernardi , tore open the debate on COVID after calling out a globalist agenda which few in mainstream media have dared to mention so far .
Since lockdowns began in March of 2020 , few have challenged the government rationale for voluntarily imploding their economies and destroying communities and societies – based on a guess that coronavirus might kill tens of millions of citizens .
However , Bernardi believes that the COVID-19 pandemic hysteria is being used as the Trojan horse for a globalist agenda hatched out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s called The Great Reset , and its designed by elite billionaires supposedly to bring about ‘ social and economic change.
’ “ There is something unusual about the continuing pandemic panic , ” said Bernardi .
“ Medical experts now acknowledge that lockdowns don ’ t work….Now none of that makes any sense until you open your mind to consider if there is another agenda at work.
” According to technocrat , Klaus Schwab , founder and Chairman of the World Economic Forum , “ COVID 19 cases have shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fit anymore for the 21st century , it has laid bare a fundamental lack of social cohesion , fairness , inclusion and equality.
” “ Now is the historical moment of time not only to fight the … virus but to shape the system … for the post-corona era , ” claims Schwab .
“ ( Mr Schwab ) admits that COVID is the new excuse to usher in the Green New Deal that climate alarmists , profiteers and big government have been pushing for years , ” said Bernardi .
“ Think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID has been a green socialist ’ s dream.
” Bernardi cites the fact that coordinated government shutdown policies ( not COVID ) have brought down fuel consumption and canceled international travel and bankrupted scores of airlines and travel firms already .
In addition , governments are using the ‘ pandemic ’ to permanently curtail civil liberties and freedom of movement and assembly .
“ Why do you think the Australian Greens have been so quiet these past months … it ’ s because their policy agenda is coming to life ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ peddling climate change lies and propaganda to force government by the elites , the socialists have used a media induced hysteria over public health as their latest weapon of economic destruction.
” The end game of creating to illusion of a global pandemic emergency is to rapidly usher-in the introduction of a ‘ Green New Deal ‘ policy – where billionaires seek to restructure our capitalist system into a new ‘ green economy ’ – promising equality and “ climate justice ” along the way .
He also highlights the fact that many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the fraudulent over-the-top modelling of COVID deaths – are also involved in IPCC computer modeled projections of supposed future climate change .
In this segment , Mr. Bernardi explains what ’ s actually behind the mass-panic being fomented by certain governments and mainstream media , hyping the idea that the world is in the midst of a “ deadly plague ” and public health crisis .

What is the Great Reset and is it driving the COVID agenda we are seeing now ?
In this segment , Sky News Australia host Rowan Dean reveals how the 2021 World Economic Forum ( WEF ) in Davos has been delayed to the spring , and is being moved to a sunnier location nearby .

“ Many are going so far as to suggest that all the measures applied to the coronavirus , the lockdowns , the destruction of businesses , the suppression of dissent , curfews , strong-arm police tactics , should become the ‘ new normal ’ for dealing with climate change.
” Dean believes that the next WEF in 2021 will be to made to “ convince governments with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tech to bring about something deeply sinister called ‘ The Great Reset ’ .

“ Today we live so cowed under the bombardment of this intellectual artillery , the media , that hardly anyone can attain to the inward detachment that is required for a clear view of the monstrous drama .
The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has finished off its masterpiece so well that the object ’ s sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed.

In fact , the term Homeland didn ’ t even exist in America before that .
But it was the perceived threat which provided it ’ s raison d ’ etre – buttressed by an incessant barrage of propaganda by the state and its media adjuncts , which made this new paradigm a reality .
Soon , all of these new state apparatuses and security initiatives where all nestled neatly under the new banner of the Global War on Terror .

And everyone is a threat to each other .
I described this dialectic in the recent special edition of New Dawn Magazine .
Here ’ s a brief passage from my article entitled , “ THE GREAT RESET @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” : This week , the UK Government announced its latest round of emergency measure and regional lockdowns , supposedly for fighting the coronavirus .
Their new “ Tier Three ” lockdown system will determine whether towns or cities will be allowed to keep pubs , gyms and other leisure facilities open , for up to a further six months .

This has prompted concerned members of public , along with a few brave officials , to ask who exactly is setting this new Three-Tier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the new system will classify regions as either ‘ medium ’ , ‘ high ’ or ‘ very high ’ levels , with high and above triggering new local lockdowns .
Welcome to thin end of the state ’ s bio-surveillance wedge .
Similar protocols are being rolled out in Five Eyes Alliance nations the United States , Canada , Australia and New Zealand .
Just as with the global war on terror , governments have now erected an entirely new level within the ever-expanding national security state .
In the UK , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Security Centre ( JBC ) , formed in July , and already a £9 billion operation .
Expect that number to grow substantially as the security complex discovers new and more complex systems required to keep pace with a new global bio surveillance and biological arms race .
“ Led by a senior spy , the JBC does not publish details of its deliberations , the sources of its evidence or its key personnel .
Nevertheless , its advice to ministers is understood to have guided recent decisions on where to enforce the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country , ” said The Telegraph .
Is COVID really so deadly that the state needs to reconfigure all of its public health agencies under a new command and control hierarchy ?
Indeed , many asked the same question about al-Qaeda 20 years ago .
Unfortunately , few officials are demanding any answers or calling for accountability .
There is only one such inquisitive public servant so far , Dr Greg Clark MP , Chairman of Science and Technology Committee , who believes that the British public are owed some answers as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and which person ( s ) is making the final decisions for these rather arbitrary ‘ alert levels ’ being issued by the government .
Exactly what is the remit of this new JBC ?
According to the Institute for Government : And just as we suspected , here ’ s the salient point : The current Three-Tier alert system was based on the following framework devised for the JBC in determining new Covid-19 alert levels : • Level 1 : Covid-19 is not known to be present in the UK • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the UK , but the number of cases and transmission is low • Level 4 : a Covid-19 epidemic is in general circulation ; transmission is high or rising exponentially • Level 5 : as level 4 and there is a material risk of healthcare services being overwhelmed .
If it looks and sounds like a military operation , that ’ s because it is .
This is the first time that the science of epidemiology has been brushed aside in favour of a one-size-fits-all , military-style approach to mitigating a viral pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only providing recommendations “ informed by the data collected and analysed by the JBC.
” It is therefore up to Downing Street and its chief medical officer to issue the final alert level .
Presumably they will be processing testing data , along with NHS Track and Trace , as well as data from the Office of National Statistics , and Public Health England ( if it still exists ) .
We ’ re told that the JBC is being headed by an intelligence chief from GCHQ , cybersecurity director Dr Clare Gardiner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a “ qualified epidemiologist , medical researcher , and cybersecurity director.
” The Telegraph adds , “ She reports to Baroness Dido Harding , the chief of NHS Test and Trace , while the entire JBC organisation falls under the control of the Department of Health , which answers to the Mr Hancock .
Government sources insisted the body was largely staffed by civil servants meaning it was “ not appropriate ” to release their identities.
” Lockdowns are no trivial matter and deeply impact the lives of millions of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grave economic and social consequences .
They also cost lives .
Hence , the concern here is one of transparency , and it is unknown if this new ‘ bio-intelligence ’ agency will be engaging with independent scientists , or will it merely collate data and liase with government-appoint science advisors .
It seems odd to be blending the civil service and signals intelligence with the science departments .
From a political and bureaucratic point of view , it ’ s certainly convenient for politicians to have yet another compartment to whom they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use plausible deniability for obfuscation purposes .
If nothing else , it gives Ministers yet another panel of ‘ experts ’ to defer to – the familiar illusion of impressive depth and deep considerations supposedly informing the Ministers ’ final assessments – when in reality , it just becomes more convoluted .
Drowning in unaccountable bureaucracy .
That ’ s where the epic mistakes are usual made .
Just as with the disastrous War on Terror , there is a serious danger that an entirely new division of security state technocracy will inevitably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its own bubble within an already knotted civil service , and propelled by endless feedback loops – creating more problems than were there to begin with .
It ’ s important to point out that such historic and sweeping changes in government can only be achieved amid a climate of fear .
Since the beginning of this crisis , the mainstream media have been dedicated to delivering that fear .
During the War on Terror , the media scooped up whatever government and the intelligence community were serving , and just ran with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could never have realised any of its newfound powers .
It ’ s the same now with COVID .
You need only to replace the anti-terror mavens in intelligence community with The Science committees .
This is precisely ‘ the intellectual artillery ’ of government joined-up with the media , which Spengler warned about almost a century ago in his treatise , The Decline of the West .
Make no mistake about it – freedom and democracy are under attack from a new and revitalised , COVID-inspired security industrial complex .
Judging by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being willing to hold any of the Five Eyes government to account for their horrendous performances thus far , it seems unlikely that the media will challenge this new bio-security arm that much .
One can only hope the penny drops much sooner with this leviathan , than it has with previous security state paradigm shifts .

Seven months into this crisis, it can’t be any clearer. Just as they did following 9/11, western governments are using the COVID ‘pandemic’ crisis as a pretext to usher in a whole new layer of security state bureaucracy, and one which has the power to penetrate more deeply into our lives.
For those who are old enough to remember, prior to September 11, 2001, there was no such thing as a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and yet in a matter of a few years, this federal department quickly grew into one of the largest federal agencies taking in tens of billions of taxpayer dollars each year ever since. In fact, the term “Homeland” hardly existed in America before that. But it was the perceived threat which provided it’s raison d’etre – buttressed by an incessant barrage of propaganda by the state and its media adjuncts, which made that new paradigm a reality. Soon, all of these new state apparatuses and security initiatives where all nestled neatly under the new banner of the Global War on Terror.
In 2020, this exact process has been repeated, only this time the threat isn’t the spectre of radical Islamist terror coming from foreign lands, but something much closer to home.
According to our governments, the new threat is your neighbour, your teacher, the shopkeeper, and even your family members.
And you are a threat to each of them.
And everyone is a threat to each other.
I described this dialectic in the recent special edition of New Dawn Magazine. Here’s a brief passage from my article entitled, “THE GREAT RESET: A Global Flu d’Etat”:
From the onset, computer-modeled predictions wildly overestimated death tolls in key countries. This was not by accident as the initial political and mass media campaign of shock and awe placed populations in an applied cognitive framework of helplessness and dependency. The same psychological levers were activated in the immediate aftermath of the attacks of 11 September 2001. Psychologically traumatised western electorates not only accepted any level of state and corporate security, infringement of civil liberties and invasion of privacy, many even demanded their governments prosecute overseas wars to eliminate the perceived threat, at that time, of al Qaeda and international terrorism. Subsequently, a new normal was rolled-out globally, a series of endless wars and a leviathan of ‘anti-terror’ measures and digital surveillance at home. Despite efforts to try and convince the public that everyone is a potential terrorist, the climate of fear was difficult to maintain. The genius of the COVID crisis is that the Establishment has now managed to convince us that everyone is a potential carrier of a deadly pathogen and that anyone who so much as sneezes in the vicinity of any- one else could not only kill them but also trigger a deadly ‘second wave’ of the pandemic. Phase one of The Great Reset.
This week, the UK Government announced its latest round of emergency measure and regional lockdowns, supposedly for fighting the coronavirus.
Their new “Tier Three” lockdown system will determine whether towns or cities will be allowed to keep pubs, gyms and other leisure facilities open, for up to a further six months. But who knows when it will end. This has prompted concerned members of public, along with a few brave officials, to ask who exactly is setting this new Three-Tier system?
According to government officials, the new system will classify regions as either ‘medium’, ‘high’ or ‘very high’ levels, with high and above triggering new local lockdowns.

Just as with the global war on terror, governments have now erected an entirely new level within the ever-expanding national security state. In the UK, it’s called the Joint Bio Security Centre (JBC), formed in July, and already a £9 billion operation. Expect that number to grow substantially as the security complex discovers new and more complex systems required to keep pace with a new global bio surveillance and biological arms race.
“Led by a senior spy, the JBC does not publish details of its deliberations, the sources of its evidence or its key personnel. Nevertheless, its advice to ministers is understood to have guided recent decisions on where to enforce the local lockdowns affecting millions of people across the country,” said The Telegraph.
Is COVID really so deadly that the state needs to reconfigure all of its public health agencies under a new command and control hierarchy? Indeed, many asked the same question about al-Qaeda 20 years ago.
Unfortunately, few officials are demanding any answers or calling for accountability. There is only one such inquisitive public servant so far, Dr Greg Clark MP, Chairman of Science and Technology Committee, who believes that the British public are owed some answers as to who is in this opaque group, and which person(s) is making the final decisions for these rather arbitrary ‘alert levels’ being issued by the government.
Exactly what is the remit of this new JBC? According to the Institute for Government:
The centre will have two main jobs. The first is as an independent analytical function to provide real-time analysis about infection outbreaks. It will look in detail to identify and respond to outbreaks of Covid-19 as they arise. The centre will collect data about the prevalence of the disease and analyse that data to understand infection rates across the country. Its second job is to advise on how the government should respond to spikes in infections – for example by closing schools or workplaces in local areas where infection levels have risen. Should UK government ministers decide to impose different restrictions in different areas and regions across England, it will be on the advice of the JBC.
And just as we suspected, here’s the salient point:
The JBC looks to be based on the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC). JTAC analyses intelligence related to terrorism and sets threat levels, which in turn inform ministers’ decisions on protecting the public and operational deployments by the police and other agencies.
The current Three-Tier alert system was based on the following framework devised for the JBC in determining new Covid-19 alert levels:
Level 1: Covid-19 is not known to be present in the UK
Covid-19 is not known to be present in the UK Level 2: Covid-19 is present in the UK, but the number of cases and transmission is low
Covid-19 is present in the UK, but the number of cases and transmission is low Level 3: a Covid-19 epidemic is in general circulation
a Covid-19 epidemic is in general circulation Level 4: a Covid-19 epidemic is in general circulation; transmission is high or rising exponentially
a Covid-19 epidemic is in general circulation; transmission is high or rising exponentially Level 5: as level 4 and there is a material risk of healthcare services being overwhelmed.
If it looks and sounds like a military operation, that’s because it is. This is the first time that the science of epidemiology has been brushed aside in favour of a one-size-fits-all, military-style approach to mitigating a viral pandemic.
The JBC insists that they are only providing recommendations “informed by the data collected and analysed by the JBC.” It is therefore up to Downing Street and its chief medical officer to issue the final alert level. Presumably they will be processing testing data, along with NHS Track and Trace, as well as data from the Office of National Statistics, and Public Health England (if it still exists).
We’re told that the JBC is being headed by an intelligence chief from GCHQ, cybersecurity director Dr Clare Gardiner. According to her biography, she’s a “qualified epidemiologist, medical researcher, and cybersecurity director.”
The Telegraph adds, “She reports to Baroness Dido Harding, the chief of NHS Test and Trace, while the entire JBC organisation falls under the control of the Department of Health, which answers to the Mr Hancock. Government sources insisted the body was largely staffed by civil servants meaning it was “not appropriate” to release their identities.”
Lockdowns are no trivial matter and deeply impact the lives of millions of people, and carry with them the most grave economic and social consequences. They also cost lives. Hence, the concern here is one of transparency, and it is unknown if this new ‘bio-intelligence’ agency will be engaging with independent scientists, or will it merely collate data and liase with government-appoint science advisors. It seems odd to be blending the civil service and signals intelligence with the science departments. From a political and bureaucratic point of view, it’s certainly convenient for politicians to have yet another compartment to whom they can ‘pass the buck’ and use plausible deniability for obfuscation purposes. If nothing else, it gives Ministers yet another panel of ‘experts’ to defer to – the familiar illusion of impressive depth and deep considerations supposedly informing the Ministers’ final assessments – when in reality, it just becomes more convoluted. Drowning in unaccountable bureaucracy. That’s where the epic mistakes are usual made.
Just as with the disastrous War on Terror, there is a serious danger that an entirely new division of security state technocracy will inevitably become a money sink, operating in its own bubble within an already knotted civil service, and propelled by endless feedback loops – creating more problems than were there to begin with.
It’s important to point out that such historic and sweeping changes in government can only be achieved amid a climate of fear. Since the beginning of this crisis, the mainstream media have been dedicated to delivering that fear. During the War on Terror, the media scooped up whatever government and the intelligence community were serving, and just ran with it. Without them, the government could never have realised any of its newfound powers. It’s the same now with COVID. You need only to replace the anti-terror mavens in intelligence community with The Science committees. This is precisely ‘the intellectual artillery’ of government joined-up with the media, which Spengler warned about almost a century ago in his treatise, The Decline of the West.
Make no mistake about it – freedom and democracy are under attack from a new and revitalised, COVID-inspired security industrial complex.
Judging by the lack of tenacity by media in being willing to hold any of the Five Eyes government to account for their horrendous performances thus far, it seems unlikely that the media will challenge this new bio-security arm that much.
One can only hope the penny drops much sooner with this leviathan, than it has with previous security state paradigm shifts.

MADRID – A Madrid court on Thursday struck down a government order imposing a partial coronavirus lockdown on the Spanish capital, ruling in favour of the Madrid region in a standoff with national authorities just before a long holiday weekend.
Under the Health Ministry’s order, Madrid regional authorities on Friday barred residents from leaving the area, including nine satellite towns, without a valid reason, and imposed other measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 in one of Europe’s worst virus hotspots.
Regional government chief Isabel Diaz Ayuso had opposed the order, saying it would ravage the region’s economy, also arguing the ministry had no power to impose such curbs on a region.
The Madrid regional court sided with her in its ruling, calling the restrictions “interference by public authorities in citizens’ fundamental rights without the legal mandate to support it”.
The restrictions imposed in Madrid, with its usually bustling restaurants and bars, had not yet been fully enforced as no fines could be levied on people violating the restrictions until the court had issued its decision. The government can appeal.
Welcoming the court’s decision, Ayuso nevertheless urged Madrilenos to stay home over the upcoming Hispanic Day weekend that usually sparks mass holiday travel across Spain.
She promised to release a set of “sensible, fair and balanced” rules on Friday, meaning capital residents may still face more restrictions in a country where the government forecasts GDP will fall 11.2% in 2020.
“Madrid’s businesses can’t carry on like this … Nobody understands the rules, nobody knows what is going on,” she said during a televised address.
Under the law, the Spanish government can limit fundamental rights by imposing a state of emergency, as it did nationwide for three months starting in March, but it is up to the regions, which control health policy, to request such measures on a more local scale outside of an emergency.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who described the situation in Madrid as “concerning”, told reporters in Algeria his government would study the court ruling and decide how to proceed after a meeting with the Madrid authorities.
The region had 741 coronavirus cases per 100,000 people in the two weeks to Oct. 7, according to the World Health Organization, making it Europe’s second densest COVID-19 cluster after Andorra.
Spain reported 12,423 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, bringing the national tally up to 848,324 – the highest in Western Europe. Deaths rose by 126 to 32,688.
