Is trhe Tide Turning Against The New Normal

by Ian R Thorpe,November 8th, 2021

The winter 'flu season is upon us and that means the usual seasonal hysteria about the need to get vaccinated will be unleashed, again multiplied to the power of ten as the threat posed by what is for most of us a minor but inconvenient illness is linked to the similarly minor risk of COVID, the virus that has reduced the world to chaos for the past two years without killing very many people. toxic

Official figures show that COVID is not a serious threat unless you are very old, very sick or both, and recent news from Italy, where the official COVID death toll was recently reduced by 97% by eliminating all the fraudulent jiggery pokery used to inflate the death toll statistics and pump up the hysteria.

That’s right, as this blog has been telling you for the past two years, the pandemic of fear has little to do with any deadly virus, and the push to make us all accept injection with a shot of toxic shite that is not actually a vaccine because it does not confer immunity on those injected with it, (but may have serious, long term side effects though we are not allowed to discuss that,) it is the season for the global-capitalist ruling classes to whip the New Normal masses into a state of mindless mass hysteria over the imaginary apocalypse that they have used as an excuse to cancel Christmas for the last two years.

The vast majority of the Western world has been browbeaten into a  state of medieval serfdom by a pseudo - medical tyranny which demands we show your “vaccine - status papers” to access basic public amenities, attend theatres or sports events or go shopping. And yet the vaccines we are being bullied into accepting not only fail to provide immunity to the rebranded winter 'flu, they also do not prevent vaccinated people passing the virus on to other vaccinated people.

People who refuse to get experimentally “vaccinated” against a virus that causes mild-to-moderate symptoms (or, often, no symptoms whatsoever) in about 95% of the infected, and the overall infection fatality rate of which is approximately 0.1% to 0.5%, are being systematically segregated, stripped of their jobs, denied medical treatment, demonized as “a danger to society,” censored, fined, and otherwise persecuted in a scenario resembling the plot of the 1970s Donald Sutherland film Invasion of the Body Snatchers..

If you are thinking this souds like a but of anti - vaxxer hysteria generation take a look at the headline on this front page story from the Brisbane, Australia Courier - Mail newspaper…

 

Since the vaccine roll out began Australia, rather surprisingly for a country whose citizens have a reputation for being independent and having a healthy contempt for authority, has led the charge towards vaccine fascism, but it looks as if the neo - Nazi the Great New Normal Purge is on and the vaccine refusniks are the new Jews. “The Unvaccinated” and other infidels and heretics are being hunted by fanatical, hate mobs, dragged before the New Normal Inquisition, fired from jobs, excluded from social activity and made into pariahs all around the world.

In New Normal Germany, where outgoing leaders Hausfrau - Volksfuhrer Merkel has never been averse to a bit of authoritarianism when she needed to bring the masses to heel, popular footballer Joshua Kimmich is being publicly hung drawn and quartered for refusing to submit to being “vaccinated” and profess his faith in the New Normal World Order.A similar fate has befallen NFL footballer Aaron Rodgers is being hounded by the mob, even though he has contracted COVID (well, tested positive which is not quite the same thing as the test gives 80% false positives,) recoverred within a few days and now has better and longer lasting immunity that any of the vaccines provide.

Also n the USA, “the Unvaccinated” stand accused of murdering Colin Powell, an 84-year-old, cancer-ridden war criminal although as stated above, an unvaccinated person is no more likely to pass on the infection than a fully vacc.inated one as the 'vaccine' does not immunise.

Australia (uber alles?) is planning to imprison people and fine them $90,000 for the “crime” of not wearing a medical-looking mask, or attempted worship at a synagogue, or whatever. Another familiar tactic of the hysteria merchants is the pious emotional blackmail: we should show respect for the COVID dead by not questioning the difference between dying OF COVID and dying WITH COVID or speculating irresponsibly on social media about the effectiveness of the vaccines. This reminds one of the immense non-sequitur after 9/11 when one angry defender of the official account objected to the “truthers” by saying, “Don’t you know nearly three thousand people died that day?”

But what could be more respectful to the dead that to inquire into how they died? And what could be more disrespectful than to pervert the facts of their demise to serve a political agenda?

 It is also noteworthy that, just as some deaths are “hushed up” from the start, there are others loudly trumpeted but which then suspiciously vanish e.g. four year old Kali Cook from Galveston County, Texas, who died “of COVID”, this being blasted over all the media as proof that children are at risk and must be vaccinated with the clotshot as mainstream media fell over themselves trying to outdo each other in sensationalising this sad little story. But then there was a small headline  on the inner pages suggesting we don’t jump to conclusions till the autopsy. After which – nothing!

In Florida fanatical school staff tied a medical-looking mask to the face of a non-verbal Downs-syndrome girl with nylon cord, day after day, for over six weeks, until her father discovered what they were doing, proving once again that COVID derangement syndrome is a far more serious disease than COVID. Or maybe that you have to be stark raving bonkers to become a schoolteacher these days. However it has been encoraging to see that the story, once it was brokenm in alt_media has received fairly widespread coverage and drawn attention to they extreme actions of those who have signed up to the pandemic of fear.

The Internet is brimming with examples of similar cruel, sadistic and irrational behaviour by the vaccinated towards people who have refused vaccination. This alone should convince the unthinking herd creatures that there is something very strange going on. If you are vaccinated and the vaccines work, as our governments and medical professionals insist they do, why has any vaccinated person anything to fear from the unvaccinated.  If the vaccinated can get the vaccine from unvaccinated people (or other vaccinated people for that matter,) what is the point of being vaccinated.

The situation had to become too crazy to remain credible and there are signs even journalists working for far left news organisations are starting to smell a rat.

In a fascinating thread on Twitter two of the major CNN stars tentatively admitted that their rhetorical posture — everyone who dissents in any way from our decrees is racist and/or stupid — is alienating and ugly, but they didn’t realize this because they live in an “echo chamber” of like-minded liberals:

https://twitter.com/ShellenbergerMD/status/1455745884856078338

“Voters are being brow-beaten in being told they’re voting for racists. People do not believe that about themselves and do not believe that America is full of the hateful kind of people that McAuliffe & Biden told us Virginia was full of”

Van Jones: “Democrats are coming across as annoying and offensive and out-of-touch. I think there is a message here.”

Anderson Cooper. “It seems annoying to a lot of people”

The CNN thing is not explicitly about Covid or vaccines, but it is explicitly about a crisis of credibility for the mass media’s pundits, experts and pseudoscientists - on the pandemic, climate change, Chinese expansionism, the supply chain crisis etc..

Are mainstream media looking at their falling numbers and the likely knock on effect on revenue and responding to the public mood instead of trying to manipulate opinion? we starting to sense a shift here?

Besides the global rejection of the contrived COVID crisis, the smell of blood in the water over COP26 is attracting the attention of the media sharks who know their paying customers are fed up of endless repetition of propaganda narratives.

COP 26 failed when Xi announced he wasn’t attending, then Putin, then Modi of India walked in with a demand for $1tn or he’s not playing ball. This followed 22 smaller nations presenting US ambassador to the United Nations, John  Kerry with a bill for $750bn in unpaid money, promised over decades of COP promises of funds to help India clean up its act on CO2 emissions. To top it off 55 other countries are demanding money with menaces, threatening to abandon any further pretence of saving the planet by stifling their countries growth and sacrificing prosperity at the alter of the god Net Zero.

Boris had to travel to Westminster to face the Tory big guns of David Davis, Steve Baker, Graham Brady and Ian Duncan Smith, who have emerged at spokesmen for a large group of Conservative MPs who are appalled at the government's willingness to embrace the political philosophy of Cultural Marxism and to bypass parliament and rule by authoritarian decree. All of the aforementioned have already published media articles criticizing theohnson cabinet's NetZero policy. The dissent is likely to have have grown into a rebellion against the Prime Minister during his Glasgow sjourn.

COP26 was never going to be anything but a taxpayer funded jolly for tax - eaters and a chance for billionaires like Amazon's Jeff Bezos to show off their private jets even as they lecture the rest of us on how important it is to reduce our carbon footprint, no matter what sacrifices must be made both as individuals or communities. The low hanging fruit of the climate change effort was grabbed on day one with announcements of halting and reversing deforestation, promises that have been made in the past and never fulfilled.

There will be no meaningful decisions made, no significant agreements signed, no consensus on how to halt climate change, how can there be, the leader of the biggest emitter of CO2 boycotted the event. Weirdie - beardies will preach of the need to ban the internal combustion engine and switch to driving pimped up golf trolleys in spite of its becoming blatantly obvious that not only is there insufficient reserves of essential materials to make a set of batteries for the electric replacement for every vehicle currently on the road, but that control of most sources of these essential materials lies in the hands of 'difficult nations' such as China, Russia and their client states.

Biden’s £3.5Tn New Green Deal is already in trouble in Congress, and now Republicans are doing well in the US in local elections. If Biden doesn’t change course quickly on that and covid, when the 2022 midterms come round, he’ll wonder where all his support went, if he even notices.

Were there ever a covid crisis or a climate crisis, you can be sure this is it. The tipping point has been reached and political heads may well roll unless there is some enthusiastic back-pedalling. And you can bet we won’t be seeing much of XR and IB on the streets of the UK for much longer, they will only serve as an embarrassment to Boris.

It is, the perfect storm and it might yet sink The Great Reset, The New Normal and the push to establish a global authoritarian government.

 

So Who's The Better Scientist, Bill Nye (the science guy) or Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin: ‘Bill Nye Is as Much a Scientist as I Am’

by Arthur Foxake, 18 April, 2016

When I saw the above headline I just had to take a closer look at the article under it. Sarah Palin is a good looking lady but not famous for being one of the brightest lights on the Christmas Tree. On the other hand I have seen some of the abjectly stupid things Bill Nye The Science Guy has said in his mission complete the dumbing down of the USA promote 'science' (although all the evidence suggests Nye does not even understand what science means.) In one of Nye's 'pro - science' (anti - reality) rants in the past couple of years, in support of the now discredited global warming scare, he cited the snow free slopes of some mountains in the USA as proof of global warming. Unfortunately he was looking at the south facing slopes which were always clear at that time of year. The north facing slopes had been snow covered as per usual.

But is such dim - wittedness surprising from someone like Nye, one of those TV pop scientists who have contributed to putting science on a par with medieval religion: those who challenge the dogma are subjected to witch hunts, heretics are burned, if only metaphorically, and modern astrophysicists have put humanity at the centre of the universe just as medieval priests put God at the centre of the universe.

Mrs. Palin's intervention is well times, coming at a point when a pushback against the assumptions of intellectual superiority common among those who call themselves scientists was starting to gather momentum. Now I would never call myself a scientist, I was a digital communications specialist setting up computer and digitized voice networks, a field in which there is a lot less pure science than one might imagine - technology is not a branch of sciences. But I did resent the many occasions when some plank who claimed the title scientists tried to lecture me on my specialist field by citing what he had read in PC Wanker magazine and when corrected, told me that as I was not a scientists I 'could not understand how science works'. (Actually science does not work, it's a noun, verbs work.) These people love to call themselves 'scientists' as if it established them as an authority on all subjects that have a even a tenuous connection with any of the natural or applied sciences. My understanding however is that 'scientist' is an honorific properly bestowed by posterity. When used about people by their contemporaries it is more often than not derogatory.

Breitbart reported recently:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin slammed Bill Nye’s view on climate change, saying he does not have the scientific chops to say climate-change skeptics are wrong.

Palin, speaking Thursday after the opening screening of the anti-climate change documentary, Climate Hustle, said the popular children’s show host was nothing more than an actor and had no authority to speak about climate change.

Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, said Nye “is using his position of authority to harm children by teaching them that climate change is real and man-made.” Nye frequently speaks about the negative effects of climate change, both on camera and during in-person appearances.

“Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am,” Palin told the gathering. “He’s a kids’ show actor. He’s not a scientist.”

Before he was “The Science Guy,” Nye studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University and worked as a Boeing engineer. His show, Bill Nye The Science Guy, aired from 1993 to 1998 and is still popular with children. He has worked with NASA on projects that include creating a sun dial for the Mars exploration rover project, among other things. He has also written several children’s books with a focus on science. Read all at Breitbart >>>

Having seen some of Nye's interventions on climate change, evolution, genetic modification and space travel over the years I had formed the opinion that he is a science fan rather than a scientist, if he is told something is 'science' then no matter how nonsensical it is he will not question it, or even reserve judgement.

So I threw a comment into the thread. Here is what happened next

Arthur Foxake • 2 days ago
There's more scientific understanding in the steam off a gnat's pee than Bill Nye could ever muster.

RbertRgus Arthur Foxake • 2 days ago
And you are anti science because of your religious beliefs?

Arthur Foxake • 2 days ago
No, I am a non theist, and I am not anti science, I am anti corporate propaganda masquerading as science. And I am against the conflation of mathematics with science, mathematics is an artifice - in modern usage this implies a sense of falseness and trickery but its true meaning indicates only something not natural, i.e. created by humans. Science on the other hand means knowledge (latin: scienta - to know) or understanding acquired through study of nature (ergo The Natural Sciences, physics, chemistry, biology). The first lesson we learn in a science primer course is, "Never jump to conclusions," you'd do well to take that on board.

I trust the 98% of climate scientists over you.

Arthur Foxake RbertRgus • 20 minutes ago
If you don't know by now that the 97% cited in the discredited Skeptical Science story (you didn't even get the percentage right) was actually 97% of the research papers that actually committed themselves to an opinion on what was causing 'climate change' (how very unscientific of them that was - the science is NEVER settled) But a closed minded science worshipper like you will never even concede that I and other sceptics are entitled to express an opinion, so try opening you mind and considering the views of some well qualified scientists as reported by Bishop Hill, a scientific publisher; The Wall Street Journal; Science and Education; The American Meteorological Society; Friends of science . I could produce hundreds more but clearly your 'scientific' mindset will reject any evidence that does not fit your prejudices.

However as Shakespeare put it in Hamlet, "There are more things in heaven and earth that are dreamed of in your philosophies."

Wondering who this person was I looked up some of his comments and found he is also an evolution evangelical and like most who wear that cloak is absolutely convinced climate change and evolution are a scientific facts and anyone who questions that position is a young earth creationist. You will also have noted perhaps that he assumes I am setting myself up as an expert on climate change.

Now I have had long arguments with Church Of Sciencology evangelists on evolution many time. My view is that Darwin's theory of evolution as presented in his book "On The Origin Of The Species By Natural Selection etc." is the best explanation of how life forms evolve that we have. It does not answer some very big questions about the origins of life or the development of human intelligence. And of course true evolution is a grindingly slow business in the higher life forms and so does not meet the scientific criterium of having been observed. We can see changes take place in response to environmental stresses in bacteria but are those true evolution of merely mutation? is typical of Church Of Scienceology zealots in the way he dismisses perfectly reasonable challenges to his views with the old canard: "You're not a scientists so you don't understand science".

It is interesting that he is defending Bill Nye The Science Guy, who though not a scientist but a mechanical engineer, has built a career on mocking US Christian creationists on television and in print. Trouble is, anybody can say "The Biblical creation is a load of bollocks," (and I can present a much more coherent and convincing demolition of it than Bill Nye's, which can be summed up as "Creationism is wrong because science.") I should make it clear that the person who comments in the thread as 'strawman' is not an associate of this blog and is not known to any of us.

But as you will see in the exchange below, Rbert Rgus, arguing the case for 'science' is no rhetorician.

According to Wikipedia:
Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery.
Engineering is not science; it is the application of science. Bill Nye is NOT a "science guy." He's an engineer by training, and as Palin correctly points out, an actor by vocation. Palin is not the first to point this out, either.

Fact -- We are evolved primates.

strawnman RbertRgus • a day ago
Organic evolution has never been observed. That means it does not meet the minimum criteria for science. Evolution is a theory, and a very unscientific and internally contradictory one at that. Evolution is a religion worldview more than anything else, but more like a cult than something reasonable like Islam.

RbertRgus strawnman • a day ago
Ridiculous. You can deny facts if you like. This is one of the real harms caused by religion today and this is why fundamentalist Christianity is more dangerous in the USA than fundamentalist Islam.

strawnman RbertRgus • a day ago
Can you provide me with a single example of organic evolution which has been observed? I have argued purely from science, but you continue to attempt to deflect my arguments by arguing against religion. Why will you not address the science?

RbertRgus strawnman • 18 hours ago
We are evolved primates. Evolution can be directly observed in insects in the form of adaptations. The evidence for human evolution all the way back to pond scum is overwhelming.

strawnman RbertRgus • 14 hours ago
There is exactly zero evidence for organic, "molecules to man" evolution. It's a fairy tale. If I told you my cell phone evolved you would think there was something wrong with me. That's how I see your argument.
DNA encodes information. The code itself is evidence of intelligence, design, and purpose. Information can only come from intelligence. The information encoded in DNA must be transmitted (another feat of intelligence, design, and purpose) to other parts of the organism to cause it to do something. That other part must have the ability to receive, decrypt, understand, act, and respond back that it has done its job. Do you seriously, for one second, think this is random? You are a fool!

How did giraffes get long necks? Let's hear your brilliant, evolutionary explanation for that. This ought to be good for a laugh! I love listening to you evolutionists talk about food waaaaay up high on the tree and how the giraffe's DNA recognized this and created entire new systems all at once to adapt to the problem.

RbertRgus strawnman • 14 hours ago
You need to read a high school biology book.
Giraffes' necks are long because they are stretching all the time (just kidding). The evidence of the evolution of giraffes is very well-documented. It will be in your high school biology reading assignment. ;-)

strawnman RbertRgus • 13 hours ago
There is no evidence for the evolution for the giraffe. Where are the intermediate species, all of which must have been viable and more successful than their predecessors? Please explain the order of evolutionary development, since this is so well documented in your high school bio textbook: the elongated muscles, the elongated blood vessels, the additional vertebrae, the larger and more powerful heart, or the blood expansion organ at the brain stem which prevents the giraffe's head from exploding when it bends over to get a drink of water. Did this happen at the same time in both a male and a female, who were in the same neighborhood and just happened to meet each other at a singles acacia tree? If these are dominant traits, then why do we see no evidence of the regressive, older traits in the "junk DNA" of the giraffe?
If I put my phone in the microwave, will I get a new laptop computer at some point? If I hack into the registry of my computer and let my labrador retriever walk on the keyboard, will I get a bigger computer screen and a better operating system? If I blow up a junk pile, will I get a new dishwasher? Please explain this evolution thing so that a dim like myself can understand it.

This is an easy topic that you can and probably have researched yourself. You are just not accepting the facts. Here is one website with some research. This is actual science, not beliefs based on a book of Bronze Age bull$/it. http://www.nyit.edu/box/news/h...

strawnman RbertRgus • 12 hours ago
"Scientists have long theorized. . ."
". . .reveals the evolution likely occurred in several stages. . ."
There is no science here. This is entirely conjecture, and the scientific explanation for this is absent. It's a nice bedtime story, but nothing else. How did the DNA obtain the CPI (codes, processes, and information) necessary to make these adaptations?
I conclude that there was a common ancestor which already possessed these traits and was created with the genetic information already in it's cells which giraffes needed to make these adaptations. Based on what was presented in the article, can you prove me wrong? I find my conclusion far more plausible. Information already existed and did not spontaneously appear in the DNA. You are still missing the mechanism by which these changes occur.

RbertRgus strawnman • 3 hours ago
There is a $/shipload of science in the facts of evolution. I will accept the fact-based conclusions of over 99% of biologists over your "plausibility analysis". Give me a freaking break. ??

Strawman may to some extent be arguing from a religious perspective, or may simply be playing devil's advocate; there are parts of his argument with which I as not a non believer (someone who does not say "I don't believe in God," but "There is no God, believe or disbelieve do not figure in the debate,") do not agree but I being sure beyond doubt that nature is the highest manifestation of the divine and humans are the highest manifestation of conscious life, I find the argument that "Evolution is a fact because science," is untenable.

I've also never met a science fan - boy who understands evolution (biologists generally do, astrophysicists are clueless). The sub title of Darwin's book refers to The Survival Of The Fittest. That does not mean the fastest, strongest or the one who goes to the gym most often, but those best fitted to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Thus when science fan - boys start babbling about how our next human evolutionary step will be when we start to interbreed with computers (!), in fact our next evolutionary cycle may see us swinging about in the trees again. Science, you see, (particularly medical science) is degrading the species by ensuring the survival of the weakest.

Oh, and BTW Giraffes did not get their long necks because the best food was high in trees, they tend to eat from lower vegetation and the long neck is a huge obstacle to drinking water (as important as food if not more so), one theory that has been advanced is those members of an older species with the longest necks survived because their natural habitat is an area where vegetation grows high and the longer necked members of the species were better equipped to spot predators. But that's just another theory of course.

Before 'scientists make assumptions which assign to themselves a monopoly on intelligence and reason they need to sort out where theory ends and fact starts. Next they need to understand that when one of those awkward philosophical questions arises, the answer, "I must be right because science," simply does not suffice.

Time is NOT real: Physicists show EVERYTHING happens at the same time

The concept of time is simply an illusion made up of human memories, everything that has ever been and ever will be is happening RIGHT NOW. That is the theory according to a group of esteemed physicists who aim to solve one of the universe’s mysteries.
Most people do not even consider the concept of time but there is nothing in the laws of physics to state that it should move in the forward direction that we know. The laws of physics are symmetric ultimately meaning that time could have easily moved in a backward direction as it does forward. Indeed some adherents to the ‘big crunch’ theory say time WILL run backwards when the universe stops expanding and starts contracting back in on itself.
