Latest COVID Scam development a step too far?

Anyone who reads our news sites and blogs (ant there are plenty of tem, listed at the foot of the page,
will know by now we at Greenteeth Digital Publishing and The Daily Stirrer think the COVID 19 Coromavirus pandemic is a hoax, a scam, a move by the corporate, financial and political elites to establish a global government that will not in any way be democratic.

The latest plan for total control over the minutiae of citizens lives announced by the UK government might just be the tipping point beyong which we ordinary punters will take up our pitchforks and cudgels and say "No more. We will not surrender our freedoms to a bunch od testicularly deficient pen pushers."

What is this plan, other than a load of elitist bollocks? you might well ask.


Latest COVID Pandemic Scam development a step too far?

 

We've all become Covid experts over the past few months. Not, of course, world class experts loads of degress in relevant subjects and a list of qualifications and honours as long as an elephant's dick. not the kind of experts who strut confidently up to the podium at a session of the Government' scientific advisory panel Sage and make a recommendation that is so out of touchj with the reality of what has been going on in the world for the past six months it does not even rank as stupid. So when yesterday's Sunday papers yesterday gleefully the news that the government is considering a recommendation to make the over-50s shield (i.e. put themselves under house arrest) through autumn and winter in the event of a second wave. As someone who left his fifties behind two decades ago but in that 20 years has seldom had even the mildest symptoms of a cold and has to-date enjoyed robust good health in spite of ignoring ALL the government's ridiculous, scaremonhering advice, I am quite determined to continue on my chosen course. All over the country my generation, the flower power hippies of the 1960s social revolution or baby boomers as the media insist on calling us, seems to have had the same reaction to this notion – an outpouring of disgust and snorting derision. As the columnist Sarah Vine, aged 53, put it: “We are the backbone of the nation, economically and socially. We look after the elderly and the young. We pay the most taxes. Lock us up and everything grinds to a halt. Talk Radio host Julia Hartley-Brewer, 52, concurred, saying: “Since when have those of us in our 50s been at high risk? What a load of nonsense.”
Ms Hartley Brewer is absolutely right. The most recent NHS data for coronavirus deaths in hospital shows that 53% of deaths were in people over 80 (15683 out of 29344). A further 38% of deaths were in people aged 60-80. Only 9% of deaths in hospital were in people under 60. And those deaths that took place outside of hospital will overwhelmingly be in care homes - so by definition among the very elderly. The idea of telling over-50's to lock themselves in their homes *should* be plainly nonsense. But this government is so frit that it just might be true. Since Sunday ministers in Boris Johnson's cabinet have been seeking to play down the implications of this latest unscientific nonsense from the government's scientific advisers, with Business Minister Nadhim Zahawi doing a round of interviews on morning TV and radion this morning in which he described the shielding story as “speculation” and “inaccurate”. Now that’s hardly a robust rejection of the idea of the sort that would kill the story stone dead, it isn't, for example, NO WE ARE NOT PLANNING TO PUT OVER 50s UNDER HOUSE ARREST FROM NOVEMBER TO NEXT MAY AND WILL NOT DO THAT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, but it’s a denial of sorts. Everything that Boris & Co. are doing has been aimed at achieving one objective above all others: to keep this fake 'Corona crisis' going. COVID-19 death rates have collapsed to a level that if this were seasonal flu, no government in the past (or anyone else) would even be thinking about it - but this government still carries on with its deliberate destruction of the UK economy, and its fraudulent 'social distancing', and masks, and lockdowns rules and recommendations - desperately trying to find more ways they (and the media) can keep the fear level up. They endlessly cite totally meaningless 'Corona case' and 'Corona infections' numbers - even though they know that they do not signify any increased risk to anyone ... they order more and more testing despite the fact that the man who invented the tests being used said his testcannot and was never intended to identify specific diseases because it's all they and the media have got, to desperately try to keep the fear level up, and to prevent their Corona scam operation from collapsing. If people's fear level drops, then how can the authorities justify continuing their fraudulent masks, 'social distancing', quarantines, lockdowns, etc.? And how will they be able to force the entire population to be injected with their supposed 'vaccine' - upon which hundreds of billions in profits for Big Pharma depend - if people are no longer sufficiently scared of the Corona virus - a virus which has never had a mortality level above that of seasonal flu, but which they and the media hyped into something akin to the Plague, distributing wholly fraudulent 'Corona deaths' numbers to get people to believe that? Not only unimaginably vast profits to be made by the people who have bought their services - Big Pharma, Bill Gates & Co. - but a whole political agenda to destroy the economies of the West, and to install an Orwellian 'new normal' regime on the entire Western world depends totally on keeping their Corona scam operation going. But even the snivelling ninnies who have so far been willing to believe all the propaganda and to demand that the rest of us abandon the power to think for ourselves and believe along with the herd are starting to smell a rat. The only thing these criminals running the Corona scam operation can do to keep this totally manufactured 'crisis' going would be to release a new virus to get people cowering in fear again. But some of us are willing to ask the question The Powers That Be do not want to be asked:"Sweden is already over this crisis - and they used no lockdown, did not trash their economy, did not incur staggering levels of debt, did not use 'social distancing' or masks - Netherlands have rejected masks and full lockdown and their economy is holding up, so WHY THE HELL are you doing the exact opposite of that?" And of course Boris and his gang of fraudsters, working for Big Pharma, the wannabe Pan - Galactic evil emperror Bill Gates and the cultural Marxist advocates of globalism in the United Nations running the Corona scam worldwide, will not have any answer to that question - because this is all a scam - the biggest deception operation in history. The moment anyone starts to scrutinised the narrative, it collapses. Unfortunately we the people have figured out this is a mild disease, the hospitals are empty, Doctors are being banned from talking about HCQ (Quinine) which we have been denied by our government because it does not make enough profit for the big Pharma corporations, but which apparently is proving highly effective in poorer countries, as a cure or suppressant. Instead we have been ordered to wear muzzles in public places. These muzzles are not for suppressing the disease. They are of course for control, a means of learning how far we will tolerate being stripped of our freedoms. If they were a genuine necessity and effective the authorities would specify the type. At the moment, a paper bag will do.

Big Tech tyranny is the biggest threat to democracy in our era This weeks main story, pushing Coronavirus aside at last, has been the attempt by Twitter to censor U.S. President, classifying his somewhat rabid tweets as misinformation.

 Critics Batter The Fake Science Used To Justify The Lockdown As Boris Waffles Regular readers may recall this blog was among the first to expose the fact that the pandemic model predicting 500,000 COVID – 19 deaths if the entire nation was not placed under indefinite house arrest was based on a deeply flawed mathematical model of the pandemic built by a “scientist” at Imperial College, London, a college heavily reliant on funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. You may also recall we have reported on the determination of psychopathic megalomaniac Gates to insert himself into this phoney crisis

Scientist who convinced Boris lockdown was the only way to beat coronavirus criticised many times for flawed research The scientist whose mathematical models of how the coronavirus would spread in the UK and the wildly exaggerated estimates of how many deaths might result from the epidemic reportedly led to the decision to implement a countrywide lockdown and trash the economy has been criticised in the past for flawed research.  

Has The World Health Organisation Been Helping Chinese Coronavirus Cover Up Many people suspected as far back as January, when stories about an epidemic of a new virus began to leak out of China that we were not and would not be told the whole story. The virus infecting thousands of Chinese in the large inland city of Wuhan was, we learned, a strain of corona virus, the genre that infects us with the common cold, influenza and a host of other infections of varying seriousness.  

Coronavirus deaths: Are The Authorities Deceiving Us?Yesterday we reported that a Canadian outfit had carried out an analysis of China’s response to Coronavirus and concluded that while politicians and academics (aka “scientists” or “experts”) are heaping praise on the way the regime in Beijing has contained and controlled its epidemic, the Chinese have actually been lying, the epidemc is still raging and numbers of infections and deaths from COVID – 19 are far higher than reported,  

Is This The Smoking Gun That Proves China Has Lied About The Coronavirus Outbreak
With the number of confirmed cases of, and deaths from coronavirus in Italy, a nation of 63 million people having now surpassed the number of infections officially admitted by the government of China, a nation of 1.4 billion and the nation where the news strain of coronavirus, COVID – 19 was first observed, it was obvious to the realists among us that the Chinese government’s claims to have contained the virus were deeply suspect and further claims that the outbreak were under control were as reliable as reported sightings of The Tooth Fairy ...

As We Predicted The Coronavirus bill Is The Biggest Assault On Freedom Since World War 2 Things have gone so far beyond what can be considered a rational response to an outbreak of a highly contagious but for most people relatively minor illness that I am starting to believe even the conspiracy theories I know I made up myself. Along with my fellow Boggart Bloggers I predicted weeks ago the current outbreak of the so - called coronavirus would see a massive hyping of the threat level leading up to an assault on our freedoms. And that is exactly what we have seen happening over the past week.

Germany’s Official State TV Channel Cheers Coronavirus For Killing Old People
Trawling around the weirder fringes of the web, as we bloggers and cyberjournalists are sometimes obliged to if we want to bring you the news the mainstream will not report, one occasionally comes across something important but disturbing – like being brought face – to – face with how sick and warped the far left ecopsychos really are.

It's quite obvious to us, experienced bloggers that we are, that the government, civil service, law encorgement and national security agencies and all the assorted experts and talking heads have forgotten the lesson our generation learned from The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy ...

Coronavirus Contains “HIV Insertions”: Claim Stokes Fears Over Genetically Modified BioweaponFor the past two weeks mainstream media reporting of the epidemic of a new strain of coronavirus in China has been getting more and more hysterical. However, reports have pushed back against one "conspiracy theory" about the origins of the virus that has now infected as many as 70,000+ people in the central China city of Wuhan alone (depending on whom you believe).

Corona Virus: Should We Worry The official data coming out of China and from other sources including the World Health Organisation (WHO) on the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus continues to suggest an exponential growth rate. With more and more infectious disease experts are now openly calling the virus a full-blown global pandemic, many people are asking should we in the west be worried and how bad might things get?

Shakespeare's Proud Loner and The Wisdom Of Crowds

by Ian R Thorpe

Coriolanus is not my favourite Shakespeare play, nor is the main character a natural politician or even a sympathetic character. From the moment he walks onto the stage, the the Roman elitist flaunts his contempt for the lower orders of society:

What's the matter, you dissentious rogues, That, rubbing the poor itch of your opinion, Make yourselves scabs?

His refusal to schmooze the electorate leads not only to his forfeiting their support but to his exile and ultimately his death. The lesson for modern politicians and opinion makers in this is to beware the "wisdom of the crowd." Coriolanus seems to be a vehicle for Shakespeare's own view of the 'many-headed multitude' and I have to say, The Bard's opinion of the sheeple is not far removed from mine.

Though the plays tell us little of Shakespeare's politics (wise of him as, in the Elizabethan and Stuart era having an opinion could result in losing one's head) he certainly held the mob in contempt. We might claim him as a radical or a conservative, a nationalist or an internationalist, a Catholic, Christian - protestant or closet Catholic, even an atheist. All these cases have been argued persuasively. And yet we still know little of the man.

As GK Chesterton put it, the most anyone can hope for is to be wrong about Shakespeare in a new way. One thing is certain however. Shakespeare loathed the rabble. His crowds are almost invariably crass, bellicose, fickle, greedy and gullible. Think of those episodes in The Simpsons where the townspeople form themselves into a drooling mob and you have a shadow of the ignorance, stupidity and unthinking irrationality of a Shakespearean
mob. The witch hunt scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail captures the atmosphere well.

Despising the mob is not quite the same as despising the electorate in the way politicians like Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and lately Barack Obama have shown is their attitude A mob can take on a collective identity, in which individual qualities of those who join it are temporarily lost. It becomes a rampaging beast, all logic and reason, empathy and values discarded. No wonder the greatest creative mind the British nations have ever spawned had the attitude of a tyrant or worse an international bureaucrat to "the wisdom of crowds".

Shakespeare was not a politician, for him to portray the mob as slack jawed idiots in an adrenaline fuelled frenzy of anger, fear and panic was fine. Nobody in the audience would recognize themselves as a member of such a rabble, most people who are sucked up in the madness think they are behaving perfectly reasonably. It is different for politicians however. When Blair, Brown and Obama talked of voters being too stupid to understand their policies it was not in reference to a gang of rioters or a protest that ran out of control. They spoke of a majority of the electorate. Barack Obama and British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown all described people sceptical of the Anthopogenic Global Warming scare as being insane and said they were prepared to consider making "climate change denial" a crime similar to holocaust denial.

Now denying the Nazi holocaust, the slaughter of European Jews in World War 2 is stupid but since when was stupidity a crime? If it was we would have to bang up anyone who voted for a left wing candidate. Climate Change sceptics however were right to be sceptical.(very few people ever denied the climate was changing - some said any changes were the will of God and we ought not to meddle but that is quite different to what the "deniers" were accued of) The mathematical models on which climate scientists warnings of impending doom turned out to be at best designed by incompetents, at worst fraudulent. According to latest reports from NASA and NOAA, the two leading climate monitoring agencies, the earth's atmosphere his warmed very slightly in the last hundred years and in the most recent two decades has actually shown signs of cooling.

Still the politicians and their advisers have a different agenda to drive forward. They are working towards a global government controlled by a bureaucratic, academic and financial elite, an unelected oligarchy. Which brings us back to Coriolanus. In both pre and post imperial Rome there were two classes, the Patricians and Plebians (aka Plebs), the masses. The patricians (oligarchs) ruled as paternalistically as the collective name they gave themselves suggests.

British actor / director Ralph Fiennes' recently released film adaptation placed in a modern setting, a world trouble spot, the Balkans or the Middle East for example, plays out the intrigues and power plays of the ruling elite against a background of street demonstrations, rolling news and political debates, we get a remarkably fresh view of the 'too absolute' Coriolanus. He represents a rare, possibly endangered species in the technological age, the politician who can honestly say 'I am exactly what it says on the box'.

Of all Shakespeare's plays, Coriolanus is one that most easily and effectively transposes to a modern setting in one of the developed nations. A seventeenth-century theatre-goer, seeing the curtain go up on a Roman scene, would immediately grasp that the ethical context had been changed. 'These ancients don't have the same values as us,' he would think, 'because they are living without Christ's truth'.

Very few modern theatre-goers relate to togas and sandals this way, so producers must get the idea of a society across based on pride and honour across in a way that is instantly understood. Coriolanus is more a politician of our times than Shakespeare's, a man who relies on trust and therefore be seen to be honourable but must at the same time be adept at deception and and manipulation, the skills required to sway the voters.

The scene where Coriolanus is exiled by his ingrate countrymen is played as a television debate, with the angry plebeians as the studio audience. How apt. The general's response to the sentence is as fine a quip as any modern Prime Minister or President departing an office which he (or she, recalling Mrs. Thatcher's bitter farewell speech) while still believing they are the only person capable of doing the job, the only person who truly understands what has to be done could ever hope to direct at the rabid, unthinking rabble:

You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate
As reek o' the rotten fens, whose loves I prize
As the dead carcasses of unburied men
That do corrupt my air – I banish
When people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and others who have grown rich on the internet speak of "The Wisdom Of Crowds" they know there is no such thing. (Dirty Little Secret About The Wisdom Of Crowds) The internet crowd they refer to are a Shakespearean rabble rather than a carefully selected cross section of society. And the mob has no wisdom.

It's true that the individuals who make up the rabble all have their individual intellects but the interesting thing about such crowds is the more people are involved the less intelligent the beast becomes. It's a case of the whole being less than the sum of the parts. Successful internet ventures rely on this and of course on the knowledge that rabble are inflamed by a few powerful voices. Once a movement starts to gather momentum a lot of people will want to be part of it and just go along with what the rest are doing. All the manipulators of the mob need to do is make sure they, through their advertising campaigns, are orchestrating the powerful voices that lead the crowd.ass hysteria follows close behind.

It really is a case not so much of The Wisdom Of The Crowd as The Emperor's New Clothes. In the children's story everyone can see The Emperor is naked but because they have been told the new clothes are magic any only wise people can see them nobody is wiling to put up their hand and say, "There are no new clothes". While everybody else is praising the clothes each individual is afraid to risk looking foolish. Hans Christian Andersen taught us a valuable lesson there. Modern public relations techniques it seems have persuaded us to forget it.

An often cited example of the wisdom of the crowd producing a better result than could be achieved by a small group of skilled and experienced people is Wikipedia. But the idea that Wikipedia is generated by "the crowd" is just not true. For one thing, Wikipedia isn't written and edited by the "crowd" at all. In fact, 1% of Wikipedia users are responsible for half of the site's edits. Even Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, has been quoted as saying that the site is really written by a community, "a dedicated group of a few hundred volunteers."

The same happened with the IBM PC when better and cheaper machines with better operating systems were available, it happened with Google when more discriminating search engines were available but the web chatterati were impressed by the fact that google would find them a million results though nobody was ever likely to look further than the top 50, it happened with Apple gadgets although Steve Jobs only talent, if it could be called that, was for the syllogistic rebranding of pre - existing products.

And in other areas it happened with the climate change scare, with both Tony Blair's and Barack Obama's election campaigns both of which mixed a lack of policies with hyperbolic advertizing techniques.

To refer to another fiction set in the Roman era, Monty Python's Life of Brian, a lot of people need Brian to remind them "You are all individuals." Think for yourselves, don't be part of the crowd. (Warning, nudity in the linked clip)
