Vaccine Escape Mutants

Mutant varieties of the Covid-1984 virus seem to be emerging with great speed. Today, Tuesday 22nd December 2020, the BBC carried this headline:

Covid-19 pandemic: 

International alarm grows over new variant

In a BBC article the day before, the headline was:

New coronavirus variant: What do we know?

This second article concludes with the following:

Will the vaccines work against the new variant?

Almost certainly yes, or at least for now. All three leading vaccines develop an immune response against the existing spike, which is why the question comes up. Vaccines train the immune system to attack several different parts of the virus, so even though part of the spike has mutated, the vaccines should still work. "But if we let it add more mutations, then you start worrying," said Prof Gupta. "This virus is potentially on a pathway for vaccine escape, it has taken the first couple of steps towards that." Vaccine escape happens when the virus changes so it dodges the full effect of the vaccine and continues to infect people. This may be the most concerning element of what is happening with the virus. This variant is just the latest to show the virus is continuing to adapt as it infects more and more of us. A presentation by Prof David Robertson, from the University of Glasgow on Friday, concluded: "The virus will probably be able to generate vaccine escape mutants." That would put us in a position similar to flu, where the vaccines need to be regularly updated. Fortunately the vaccines we have are very easy to tweak.

"Almost certainly yes, or at least for now". Clearly, in the future the Covid vaccine will be recommended or mandated on at least a yearly basis in order to keep these "vaccine escape mutants" under control. The BBC is ramping up the fear factor and the UK government is busy locking down the country. The photo of Boris reinforces the belief that the country, along with most the world, has gone bonkers.

The phrase "vaccine escape mutants" reminds me of "teenage mutant ninja turtles" and there's no doubt that the MSM will be dramatising the former relentlessly as we transition to 2021. The vaccine will be trumpeted as humanity's only choice if it is to avoid extinction. It will be interesting to see in the coming year how far governments and employers are willing to impose Covid vaccination as a condition for travel and employment. Those who resist any such impositions will be effectively confined to their homes. If a Universal Basic Income is rolled out then proof of vaccination might be a requirement for accessing it. 

From a CBCNews Report of December 21st 2020, we learn that in the United States:

With the first doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine now being administered in the U.S., the federal government is giving employers around the country the green light to require immunisation for most workers. In general, companies have the legal right to mandate that employees get a COVID-19 shot, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said Wednesday. More specifically, employers are entitled — and required — to ensure a safe workplace in which "an individual shall not pose a direct threat to the health or safety of individuals in the workplace." That can mean a company requiring its workforce to be vaccinated.

The second BBC article features a large artist's impression of the virus and nothing is every mentioned about the fact that the virus has never been isolated. However, the relentless display of an imaginary depiction of the virus reinforces the notion that it is real and dangerous and possibly heading straight for you. Figure 1 shows part of the BBC image.

Figure 1: the new face of terror

Summing things up nicely is this excellent article from the OffGuardian of December 7th 2020 that begins:

2020 was GloboCap Year Zero. The year when the global capitalist ruling classes did away with the illusion of democracy and reminded everyone who is actually in charge, and exactly what happens when anyone challenges them.

In the relatively short span of the last ten months, societies throughout the world have been transformed beyond recognition. Constitutional rights have been suspended. Protest has been banned. Dissent is being censored. Government officials are issuing edicts restricting the most basic aspects of our lives … where we can go, when we can go there, how long we are allowed to spend there, how many friends we are allowed to meet there, whether and when we can spend time with our families, what we are allowed to say to each other, who we can have sex with, where we have to stand, how we are allowed to eat and drink, etc. The list goes on and on.

The authorities have assumed control of the most intimate aspects of our daily lives. We are being managed like inmates in a prison, told when to eat, sleep, exercise, granted privileges for good behaviour, punished for the slightest infractions of an ever-changing set of arbitrary rules, forced to wear identical, demeaning uniforms (albeit only on our faces), and otherwise relentlessly bullied, abused, and humiliated to keep us compliant.

None of which is accidental, or has anything to do with any actual virus, or any other type of public health threat. Yes, before some of you go ballistic, I do believe there is an actual virus, which a number of people have actually died from, or which at least has contributed to their deaths … but there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any authentic public health threat that remotely justifies the totalitarian emergency measures we are being subjected to or the damage that is being done to society. Whatever you believe about the so-called “pandemic,” it really is as simple as that. Even if one accepts the official “science,” you do not transform the entire planet into a pathologised-totalitarian nightmare in response to a health threat of this nature.

Facebook Censorship

Figure 1

I watched this video on BitChute that featured a range of medical professionals warning against the dangers of the Covid-19 vaccine. I posted a link to it on my Facebook site, mainly to see what action Facebook would take against it. Figure 1 shows a screenshot.

The post was quickly flagged as containing false information but the link was preserved so my Facebook friends could click on it if they chose. I was expecting some response but nothing came and it seems clear that I've been shadow banned described by Wikipedia as:

Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting, is the act of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from an online community so that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned.

I'm not sure if that's what's happened. Facebook may simply not be promoting my post because the company's algorithm decides who sees what posts. Thus if someone visited my site they could still see my post, so I've not been banned.

One of my Facebook friends confirmed that my post had not appeared in his feed as it usually does but it was accessible if he went to my site. Thus if I wanted people to see it, I would have to message them and tell them to visit my site. One has to be more subtle if information is to be disseminated. For example, one could perhaps disguise the link as:

wwwdotbitchutedotcomslashvideoslashTlxWZHk5yhFM

However, I don't think I'll bother. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube are other such sites are of little use in presenting alternative viewpoints. The censorship will only intensify and it is better to migrate to alternative platforms sooner rather than later.

Psychedelic Soma

After decades of being demonised, psychedelics are making a comeback with possibly the help of Big Pharma and of course the tacit approval of the Global Elite. The following text was attached to a video that I just watched titled "Psychedelics Are Fuelling a Mental Health Revolution" (23rd November 2020):

Once deemed dangerous and illegal, psychedelic compounds have been rediscovered by the scientific, medical and psychiatric communities as research reveals their capacity to help patients with a range of maladies. With investors beginning to flood this new market with capital, will Big Pharma join in, or try to squash a nascent revolution of the mind?

Naturally Big Pharma will join in as the Global Elite are giving psychedelics the green light. Our overlords realise that, if global citizens are to submit to the looming dystopia, they will need their daily dose of soma. Once ingested, they just won't care. 

Significant numbers of citizens were already on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication but the pandemic-related job losses and business failures have swelled these numbers significantly. Masses that are medicated, fluoridated and vaccinated are far less likely to push back against the looming dystopia that is unfolding.

The social engineering is so obvious. Today's already cowed and gender-confused adolescents have been vaccinated, fluoridated, medicated, miseducated and welded to their smartphones. As they enter a world in which they are unlikely to find employment, the psychedelics will keep them subdued and less likely to cause trouble. 

While drawing their Universal Basic Income, they can space out in their little urban boxes, listen to music, play games, watch movies, immerse themselves in virtual reality, enjoy an AI for companionship and maybe buy a sex bot to assuage their carnal needs. Indeed, a brave new world is upon us.

Twitterverse and Vaccinations

 Here is a recent tweet by a famous actor whose name I'll withhold:

At the time I took the screenshot, the tweet had been retweeted 6292 retweets and had received 68000 times. I'm sure the actor is sincere in his gratitude but one is left wondering if there any hope for humanity. The tweet conjures up this fantasy world in which medical professionals work frantically on a vaccine to save humanity from the brink of extinction. Very much the stuff of movies. 

Of course, any actor who questioned the efficacy of a vaccine would be putting his or her career in jeopardy. For example, we have this story (4th December 2020) from Newsweek:

Black Panther star Letitia Wright today made headlines for posting an anti-vaccination video on Twitter. The actress faced swift and intense backlash from followers leading to calls for her role as Shuri in the Marvel superhero movie to be recast. Following the news of COVID-19 vaccinations being rolled out in the United Kingdom, the British actress, 27, posted a YouTube video that featured a presenter named Tomi Arayomi saying: "I don't understand vaccines medically, but I've always been a little bit of a skeptic of them." The Black Mirror star has since defended her stance in replies to Twitter users.

At least one actor has the guts to speak out. Robert De Niro is another actor that comes to mind in that respect. There are not many who speak out however, and understandably most say nothing. There can be no open debate about vaccines. The official viewpoint is that they are all good and the latest batch of emerging COVID vaccines is being especially lauded. Even if a vaccine maims and kills, the good it does always outweighs the bad. Except when it doesn't as in the case of Dengvaxia in the Philippines:

The president of Sanofi Pasteur Inc., along with a former health chief and now politician, Rep Janette Garin have all been indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the Philippines for reckless imprudence, resulting in homicide as a result of the deaths of children associated with the anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia. As a result of an ongoing investigation, government prosecutors found probable cause to file the charges against the named defendants as well as nine unnamed officials from the Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. Additional Sanofi Pasteur officials were indicted for violations of the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Source.

Figure 1

Such incidents are soon forgotten and, outside the Philippines, few would even know about it. Most probably, pharmaceutical companies responsible for any of the emerging COVID vaccines will be shielded from prosecution should anything go wrong when they come to market. Anyway the vaccinations are coming but it's interesting to note the variation in trust regarding vaccines amongst the different countries of the world. The Welcome Trust carried out a survey, the results of which are shown in Figure 1.

The Wellcome Trust, a U.K research charity, surveyed more than 140,000 people (ages 15 and up) in more than 140 countries about their views of science and major health challenges. And while eight in 10 people worldwide (79%) said that vaccinations are safe — and nine in 10 said their own children had been inoculated — higher-income pockets in Europe have less confidence in vaccines than lower-income countries in Africa.

Meanwhile there is this report in The Washington Post:

A wealthy Manhattan couple has emerged as significant financiers of the anti-vaccine movement, contributing more than $3 million in recent years to groups that stoke fears about immunizations online and at live events — including two forums this year at the epicenter of measles outbreaks in New York’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.

Bernard Selz and his wife Lisa are the couple referred to and Del Bigtree is the public face and chief executive of the Selz Foundation that the couple set up. I'd heard of Del Bigtree already from alternative news sources but hadn't realised the important role that he is playing in the anti-vaccination movement. He was co-producer of the film "Vaxxed".

Initiatives like these give a glimmer of hope and to my surprise I found that Michael Leunig has created some cartoons that have proved controversial. The mainstream media has done an excellent job of brainwashing the public so that a reflexive and hostile response is immediately elicited. No matter how much people may have liked his cartoons in the past, any questioning of the efficacy of vaccines meets with unalloyed and unthinking disapproval. The two tweets in Figure 2 are illustrative of the types of responses evoked:

Figure 2

The cartoon in question is quite mild in term of its opposition to vaccines. See Figure 3:

Figure 3

What's frustrating is that the opposition is based on a belief that what the medical mafia is telling them is unquestioningly correct. Anyone who doubts this is an anti-vaxxer and is to be ignored, ostracised or even punished. 

Twitter Alert

 I saw this article in my Twitter feed this morning. Figure 1 shows a screenshot.

Figure 1: screenshot from Twitter feed

I thought I'd follow the link attached as so I clicked on it, only to be greeted by the following Twitter warning shown in Figure 2:

Figure 2: screenshot of Twitter's warning

Knowledge is a dangerous thing and Twitter has recognised that if you go to this site you may become more knowledgeable! So what is on this potentially unsafe site? Here's the article's headline:

Land Dispossession and Imperialism Repackaged as ‘Feeding the World’

You can click on the link to read the full article but it concludes:

The web that global capitalism weaves in a quest to seek out new profits, capture new markets and control common resources (commonwealth) is destroying farmer livelihoods, the environment and health under the bogus claim of ‘feeding the world’. Those farmers who survive the profiteering strategies of dispossession and imperialism are to become incorporated into a system of contract farming dictated by global agri-food giants tied to an exploitative food regime based on market dependency and corporate control. A regime that places profit ahead of biodiverse food security, healthy diets and the environment.

There are some interesting links within the article: one is to a article in GRAINS, "a small international non-profit organisation that works to support small farmers and social movements in their struggles for community-controlled and biodiversity-based food systems". The article is titled Barbarians at the barn: private equity sinks its teeth into agriculture. Here is an excerpt:

Private equity is only one class of investors taking control of assets in the food and agriculture sphere – from farmland to grain terminals to meat processing plants to food delivery – and transforming realities for farmers, fishers and workers. But it is a powerful class. Though its operations are opaque and barely accounted for, private equity as a sector has grown enormously since the 2008 financial crisis and is becoming more concentrated. It is also becoming increasingly present in the global South.

This trend is part of broader process by which the world of finance – banks, funds, insurance companies and the like – is gaining control over the real economy, including forests, watersheds and rural people's territories. This is called financialisation. Apart from uprooting communities and grabbing resources to entrench an industrial and export-oriented model of agriculture, it is shifting power to remote board rooms occupied by people with no connection to farming, much less local concerns, and who are merely in it to make money.

All of this is quite disturbing and part of an overarching plan to destroy small farmers and drive farmers off the land into smart cities or, if they remain, they remain as serfs. 

There is a good article in grain.org about the growing influence of RCEP:

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed mega-trade agreement that involves 10 countries of Southeast Asia and six of their trading partners. If adopted, it will be the biggest trade deal in the world. RCEP will not just change rules on the export and import of goods and services; it will change how governments decide on rights to land and who has access to it. Therefore, it has the potential to increase land grabbing across Asia – already a huge problem in this region. The implications are far-reaching, with millions of farmers' and fisherfolks' livelihoods at stake in RCEP member countries where the population is struggling to feed itself.

Whether the mega-trade deal goes ahead or not, the trend seems unstoppable. The barbarians are indeed at the barn.

Morgellons Disease

I was watching a BitChute video on biological warfare and one of the comments caught my attention:

Already happening in the UK, they are spraying Morgellons on us from planes. I've had them for a while. The way to get rid of them is bathe in baking soda and boron and drink colloidal silver. Most people have them but they just don't know it. They affect your immune system and keep you in fear. My body rejected them and they started jumping out of my face. I guess Im one of the lucky ones for working this shit out and removing them. 

I was immediately curious as to what morgellons were as I'd never heard the term before. A conservative, mainstream site WebMD had this to say:

Morgellons is a controversial and poorly understood condition in which unusual thread-like fibers appear under the skin. The patient may feel like something is crawling, biting, or stinging all over. Some medical experts say Morgellons is a physical illness. Others suggest it is a type of psychosis called "delusional parasitosis," in which a person thinks parasites have infected their skin. Your doctor may call it an "unexplained dermopathy," which means a skin condition that occurs without a known reason. Other medical professionals have dubbed the condition "fiber disease."

Morgellons Disease Symptoms

Unpleasant skin sensations are the main complaint. People with Morgellons may also complain of:

• Feeling like bugs are crawling all over the skin
• Burning or stinging sensations under the skin
• Intense itching
• Skin sores that appear suddenly and heal slowly
• Sores that leave very red (hyperpigmented) scars
• Some patients report thread-like fibers stuck in the skin.

People with Morgellons sometimes complain of other symptoms, which may include:

• Hard time paying attention and concentrating
• Extreme fatigue
• Hair loss
• Joint and muscle pain
• Nervous system problems
• Tooth loss
• Sleep problems
• Short-term memory loss

Morgellons Disease Risk Factors

In the past, few doctors had heard of Morgellons. But in response to scattered reports, the CDC worked together with several other health care agencies to investigate this condition. Most reports came from California, Texas, and Florida, although patients have been seen in all 50 states. The CDC study found that Morgellons is most likely to affect middle-aged white women. Many of the patients in the CDC study showed signs of being obsessively concerned about health problems in general. This is called somatic concerns. About half of the people in the study had other health problems, including depression and drug abuse.

Controversial Diagnosis

The question of whether Morgellons is a disease or a delusion has prompted debate and new research in recent years. The CDC states that the condition is not caused by an infection or anything in the environment. The CDC study also included a lab analysis of skin fibers in Morgellons patients. The analysis showed that these fibers were mostly cotton, such as typically found in clothing or bandages.

Well, we certainly can't trust the CDC, sometimes dubbed the Center for Disease Creation to get to the bottom of this as they may well have a nefarious hand in its creation and dissemination. We need to look elsewhere to find out what might be going on. However, the WebMD article leaves with the clear impression that the condition is probably imaginary, with most sufferers being depressed, drug-dependent or suffering from psychosis. Geez, the fibers are even made of cotton that has been obviously been shed by clothing or bandages. Nothing to see here, let's move on. The tone of the article really goads me into further investigation. 

A very detailed study was published in February of 2018 titled History of Morgellons disease: from delusion to definition in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology. In this study, the cotton fiber myth is exposed:

Histological studies have shown that filaments in Morgellons Disease (MD) tissue are not textile fibers, but are biofilaments produced by human epithelial cells and stemming from deeper epidermal layers, upper dermal layers, and the root sheath of hair follicles. MD cutaneous filaments are predominantly composed of keratin and collagen, as determined by histological studies, and appear to be produced by activated keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The base of filament attachment to epithelial cells demonstrates nucleation that is continuous with that of surrounding epithelial cells, indicating that the filaments are of human cellular origin.

This is a very detailed and comprehensive study and quotes 124 references. Here are its conclusions:

The history of MD has taught us that scientific evidence must be carefully considered before a disease is written off as a purely psychiatric disorder. Delusional disorder is a diagnosis of exclusion that requires clinical judgment, and all underlying causes for delusional symptoms need to be ruled out before jumping to erroneous conclusions. Medical practitioners continue to consider MD a delusional disorder, although studies have shown that MD is strongly associated with spirochetal infection. According to the best-available scientific evidence, MD should be considered a dermopathy associated with tick-borne disease. Further study of the genetics, pathogenesis, and treatment of MD is warranted. 

According to this MedicineNet, "a spirochete is a microscopic bacterial organism in the Spirochaeta family that has a worm-like, spiral-shaped form and wiggles vigorously when viewed under a microscope. Treponema pallidum, the cause of syphilis, is a particularly well-known spirochete." So the rigorous scientific study suggests that the disease is real enough and may be caused by a tick-borne sphirochete. Let's now review a personal account from a sufferer.

On PDFDrive we find Nancy's Morgellons Blog (uploaded in 2011) which begins with her saying:

This little book is offered for one purpose only: to present my personal overview from experience with Morgellons Disease and to provide one point of reference for the thousands of other sufferers who are trying to endure this disease.  

Nancy goes on to write:

It needs to be stressed that there is a connection between Morgellons and Lyme Disease. Over 90% of Morgellons sufferers are tested and found to have Lyme Disease. My treating physician is an expert on Lyme and feels that the Lyme precedes Morgellons. The Lyme attacks and diminishes the Immune System/white blood cells and then the parasites are not held in abeyance inside and begin to attack the rest of the body.

Nancy's little e-book is 40 pages in length and is mostly full of treatment options that she has personally applied to her condition. This would be invaluable of course to anyone suffering from the disease. Her experience is nightmarish and a reminder of the damage that Lyme Disease can cause to the immune system. The weakened immune system seems to set the stage for the onset of Morgellons Disease in some people. It is a disease that is becoming more common and needs to be identified as early as possible. At least I now know a little more about it.

Number 33, Truman and the Bomb

One might think that the topic of 33 might be more suitable for my Mathematics blog but I don't want to treat 33 in purely mathematical terms here and so I'm posting this to my Alternative Media blog. I'd originally posted it to my Pedagogical Posturing blog but I later thought that it should be included here as well. There's a great deal that can be said about the 33 in a non-mathematical context but I want to limit this post's scope by just focussing on Truman and the atomic bomb. Let's begin with Trinity.

Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States Army on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The White Sands Proving Ground, where the test was conducted, was in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range. The only structures originally in the vicinity were the McDonald Ranch House and its ancillary buildings, which scientists used as a laboratory for testing bomb components. Source. See Figure 1.

Figure 1: Source

So here is our first encounter with 33 in the form of the latitude, 33° N (rounded down to the nearest degree), at which the first atomic test took place. Next we look at the latitudes of the two Japanese cities on which atomic bombs were unleashed. Hiroshima is located at a latitude of 34° 23' N and Nagasaki at 32° 46' N, making for an average of 33° 35' N. Thus we have our second encounter with 33 in the form of the average latitude (again rounded down to the nearest degree) of the two targeted cities. See Figure 2.

Figure 2

Next we'll turn our attention to the person who authorised the bombings. This was of course Harry S. Truman who was the 33rd president of the United States. Now it's getting a little spooky because here we have our third encounter with the number 33 as we count the number of the presidents since George Washington. However, we're not yet finished with Truman.

On October 19, 1945, Truman was given the 33rd degree of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite for the southern jurisdiction. He is the only President to have received this distinction, which he considered with satisfaction to be the culmination of his Masonic career. Source.

Definitely spooky and this marks our fourth encounter with 33 surrounding Truman and the atomic tests. On January 20th 1945, Truman became the 34th president but when he was given this Masonic rank he was still the 33rd president. It's interesting to note that Truman regarded himself as the 32nd president when he took office:

Any official list of presidents will show Harry Truman as the 33rd President of the United States. Not everyone agrees with this, however. The most notable dissenter as to the number assigned to the Truman administration was none other than Harry Truman, himself.

Truman, who was not averse to sharing his thoughts on any subject, disagreed with counting Grover Cleveland’s two non-consecutive terms. “If you count the administrations of Grover Cleveland twice because another President held office between Cleveland’s first and second term,” said Truman, “you might try to justify the designation of me as thirty-third President. But then why don’t you number all the second terms of other Presidents and the third and fourth terms of President Roosevelt, and where will you be? I am the thirty-second President.”

Despite this argument, the official proclamation, dated April 13, 1945, issued by President Truman on the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to Roosevelt as the thirty-second president. Source.

Was Harry trying to be disingenuous? Perhaps. The facts are clear however, and Harry as the (official) 33rd president of the United States authorised the detonation of the first atomic bomb on American soil at the 33rd degree of latitude and later authorised the dropping of atomic bombs on two Japanese cities: one on the 34th degree of latitude and the other on the 32nd degree of latitude, making for an average of 33 degrees. Later that same year he would become a 33rd degree Mason.

The following quote, from Jacques R. Pauwels, author of The Myth of the Good War: America in the Second World War, is a fair assessment of what Truman really was up to: 

Sixty-five years ago, Truman did not have to use the atomic bomb in order to force Japan to its knees, but he had reasons to want to use the bomb. The atom bomb enabled the Americans to force Tokyo to surrender unconditionally, to keep the Soviets out of the Far East and – last but not least – to force Washington’s will on the Kremlin in Europe also. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obliterated for these reasons, and many American historians realise this only too well.

So Harry murders hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, is awarded the highest honour in Freemasonry later in the year and slept well at night for the rest of his life I presume. So it goes. 

Truman found time to relax and rest in his post-presidential years. He was never far from his favourite bourbon and enjoyed clanking glasses with the old friends, political allies, and dignitaries who came through Independence. While his health permitted, he took regular walks around town. He traveled some, including a 1953 auto trip to New York during which a policeman stopped him on the Pennsylvania Turnpike for making an illegal lane change. It was Truman's only attempt at a long drive after leaving the presidency. Harry S. Truman died on December 26, 1972, of old age rather than any specific sickness. Source.

An Embarrassing Untruth

I was talking with an old friend the other night and we got to talking about how we were both completely taken in by Al Gore's 2006 "An Inconvenient Truth". Here is a little background about this film from a source that is very supportive of the film's premise:

Decade ago, climate change was a huge problem with a small audience. Unless you were among a handful of brave policymakers, concerned scientists, or loyal Grist readers, it’s fair to say the threat of a rapidly warming world took a back seat to High School Musical, MySpace, and whether or not Pluto was a planet (yes, those were all a thing in 2006).

Then, An Inconvenient Truth happened.

Somehow, a film starring a failed presidential candidate and his traveling slideshow triggered a seismic shift in public understanding of climate change. It won Oscars and helped earn Al Gore a share of the Nobel Peace Prize. It injected the issue into policy debates and dinner-table conversations alike.

Did any of this actually “save the world?” OK, you got us. Ten years after the movie’s release, climate change is still a growing threat and a polarizing issue, with record-breaking heat unable to stop skeptics from tossing snowballs on the Senate floor. But we’re also seeing corporate, political, and societal mobilization against the crisis on a scale that would have been hard to imagine 10 years ago, and there’s no question the film played a big part in getting us there.

So how did the movie-makers turn a science-heavy slideshow and unlikely leading man (sorry, Al) into a global force for change? What follows is a behind-the-scenes look at An Inconvenient Truth. As for whether there’s a happy ending, we’re afraid that’s still a bit TBD.

Knowing what we now know, it was a little embarrassing to reminisce about our naiveté. We forgot to ask question like who is Al Gore and what are his connections and affiliations? YouTube started up in early 2005 but it may have only been in 2007 that I first became aware of videos that were challenged the global warming narrative. Around this same time also, many videos appeared that challenged the official 9/11 story. Prior to this, I remember reading a Time Magazine article, in the library of the school where I worked, that explained the alleged structural failures that lead the collapse of the twin towers. I soaked it up and sadly enough accepted the official story. Nowadays of course, I wouldn't waste my time reading any article from Time Magazine but back then I still read the occasional article. 

It's easy to be scornful of people who believe what mainstream media tell them but it wasn't all that long ago that I was not very different. It's sad to reflect that it was not really until my early sixties that I began to wake up to what was really going on. Like many others, I can thank YouTube for my awakening. Now YouTube is actively censoring the sort of content that woke me up but other alternative platforms are emerging to take its place. My key point is that I reached a tipping point after which I viewed everything in the world differently. Once that point is reached, then trust in politicians, the political system, the health "profession", mainstream media, religious leaders, international organisations like the United Nations and so on evaporates. Trust resides only in your immediate circle of close friends and family. Anyone or anything outside that circle is made to earn your trust. It is not automatically granted.

Fake Food World

Figure 1

While the War on Meat is well underway, it would seem that the War on Coffee has already begun. Figure 1 shows a screenshot  from the website of a company called ATOMO! Molecular Coffee. On the website's opening page it's announced that:

Climate change is causing a world of problems for the coffee industry:

• increased plant disease

• deforestation of the rainforest

Couple that with increased consumption and the math doesn’t look good for conventional coffee.

 Just to reinforce the message, Figure 2 shows a kindergarten-style graphic:

Figure 2

Of course, the process is proprietary, so you won't really know what's in the coffee just as you won't really know what's in the fake meat. Vaccines can be easily added, as this article describes:

Edible vaccines offer cost-effective, easily administrable, storable and widely acceptable as bio friendly particularly in developing countries. Oral administration of edible vaccines proves to be promising agents for reducing the incidence of various diseases like hepatitis and diarrhea especially in the developing world, which face the problem of storing and administering vaccines. Edible vaccines are obtained by incorporating a particular gene of interest into the plant, which produces the desirable encoded protein. Edible vaccines are specific to provide mucosal activity along with systemic immunity. Various foods that are used as alternative agents for injectable vaccines include cereals (wheat, rice, corn) fruits (bananas) and vegetables (lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes). Thus, edible vaccines overcome all the problems associated with traditional vaccines and prove to be best substitutes to traditional vaccines.

This is a disturbing but seemingly irreversible trend. 2020 has shown us that legislation can be passed by governments to prohibit any activity that is deemed undesirable. Raising chickens for their eggs, growing your own vegetables or even collecting rainwater can be made illegal. The following excerpt is from an article titled "Avoiding a Climate Lockdown" and warns of the harsh measures that will be needed now and in the future:

As COVID-19 spread earlier this year, governments introduced lockdowns in order to prevent a public-health emergency from spinning out of control. In the near future, the world may need to resort to lockdowns again – this time to tackle a climate emergency.

Shifting Arctic ice, raging wildfires in western US states and elsewhere, and methane leaks in the North Sea are all warning signs that we are approaching a tipping point on climate change, when protecting the future of civilization will require dramatic interventions.

Under a “climate lockdown,” governments would limit private-vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat, and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.

Many think of the climate crisis as distinct from the health and economic crises caused by the pandemic. But the three crises – and their solutions – are interconnected.

COVID-19 is itself a consequence of environmental degradation: one recent study dubbed it “the disease of the Anthropocene.” 

The climate, health and economic crises are interconnected and the bad habits of the planet's human population are to blame. Stern measures will be needed to save the planet and avert disaster. These measures include faking, in the laboratory, all the food and drinks that humans consume. Predictive Hollywood programming has accustomed us somewhat to the idea because this sort of fake food is what astronauts partake of during long space journeys. 

The fake food industry has little to do with saving the planets and everything to do with control. Control of food production by a few globally approved mega corporations will ensure the goyim's total compliance. If you don't comply, you starve to death. Compliance will be "encouraged" by the addition of secret ingredients to the fake food and drink that is consumed. The "soma" of Huxley's "Brave New World" of course springs to mind. 

Up, Up and Away

Nasa goes to Mars in the Netflix series "Away" that I've been watching lately. I had subscribed to Netflix in the past but cancelled my subscription because of the rubbish that was being pedalled. However, my granddaughter was interested in watching certain content on the platform so I renewed my subscription. I like science fiction and so "Away" caught my eye.

Even though it's advertised as a Netflix original, there's nothing very original about the plot: five people on a three year Nasa mission to Mars. The leader is an American, naturally, played by Hillary Swank. The second in command is an Indian male and then a Russian male, a Chinese woman and a black African male. With the Hispanic audience in mind, the daughter of the leader's expedition is paired with a Hispanic boyfriend. 

In case we forget that Hollywood is run by the Jews, an unlikely Jew has been placed aboard the Mars-bound vessel. The black African, who claims to have been born in Africa and who looks and speaks like Sidney Poitier, has converted to Judaism after being adopted by a white English mother. We gather this when he has a linkup with his adoptive mother and she is shown with a Menorah, celebrating Hanukkah while the rest of the crew are celebrating Christmas. 

It's interesting that the black guy makes mention very early in the series about "My God", reminding us that religious Jews, knowing themselves to be God's Chosen People, feel they have a special claim on God. Seemingly they can't bear to conceive of a God whom they share with the rest of humanity and who would be referred to as simply "God". Additionally, the relentless Jewish-driven LGBT agenda is pushed to the fore via the Chinese woman who is involved in a relationship with another Chinese woman but they have not consummated their affair. It remains platonic, presumably so as to not cause too much offence to Chinese viewers.

The Russian cosmonaut in the series is played by Mark Ivanir who has an interesting and impressive resume. From IMDB:

Mark Ivanir has been working as a professional film and television actor in Los Angeles since 2001. His first major film role was in Steven Spielberg's 1993 Oscar winning epic Schindler's List. He rejoined with Spielberg twice, first for a cameo appearance in Terminal, then again for Tintin. A pivotal role in Robert De Niro's 2006 film, The Good Shepherd, landed Mark a role in Barry Levinson's What Just Happened, this time acting alongside De Niro. He has booked over 35 Guest Star and Guest Lead roles on television shows such as: 24, Monk, CSI NY, Law and Order, Fringe, CSI Miami, Nikita and many others.

Ivanir's road to Hollywood was circuitous at best. Born in the communist Ukraine (former USSR), he immigrated to Israel with his family in 1972. While serving in the Israeli Army he participated in the then clandestine mission to bring Ethiopian Jews to Israel. His military experience and expertise has been tapped for various TV and Film roles.

After completing his stint in the Military, Ivanir turned down several job offers from Israel's Secret Service, and gave up studying medicine to pursue a higher vocation-clowning. He completed two years in a Circus school, traveled throughout Europe performing on the streets, and ended up working in a Parisian Circus - Cirque Pawelles. After leaving the circus, Mark entered into formal theatrical training, studying at Israel's top acting school Nissan Nativ, later co-founding a theatre company made up of actors from the former USSR called Gesher Theatre.

Within two years, Gesher became Israel's top theatrical outfit and was hailed by the London Times as "one of the six best theatre companies in the world." Mark performed many different roles, translated and adapted eight plays for the company and performed everywhere from Lincoln Center to the National Theatre in London as well as major stages in Paris, Rome, and Berlin.

After being cast by Spielberg in Schindler's List, Ivanir moved to London to study with Philippe Gaulier and the actors of the Theater De Complicite. During this stint, he landed roles in The Man Who Cried (with Johnny Depp) and Secret Affair which encouraged him to relocate to Hollywood. Tapping his command of Russian, English, French, Arabic, German and Hebrew, Mark has been working consistently in major studio film and television projects in eclectic roles spanning from a Russian spy to an Israeli producer to a German elephant trainer. He lives in LA with his wife and two daughters.

Mark Ivanir is stereotypically Jewish-looking and, if he is playing the part of a Russian then he is clearly a Russian of Jewish descent, although no mention is made of this in the series thus far. So the people with 0.2% of the world's population have a 40% representation aboard the space craft!

The whole plot is formulaic and rather tedious, typical of the dross that Hollywood is turning out nowadays. For someone who doesn't believe humans walked on the Moon, taking NASA seriously is also a stumbling block. In the series, humans have established an above-ground base on there is seamless communication between that base and Earth. Not likely, ever, but don't get me started.

I quite like Hillary Swank as an actress but this science fiction pap is tough to stomach. All this going where no man or woman has gone before gets a little tiresome. I've watched all ten episodes and I notice that a second series in planned. It will be interesting to see how the Jewish religion continues to be portrayed in the series. So far the depiction has been very much from a Judeo-Christian angle, playing on its Old Testament roots, which is the way to go if you're wanting the goyim to warm to the religion. The reality is that, after Jesus, Judaism morphed into the far less goyim-friendly, Rabbinic-Talmudic form that exists to the present day.

The Hispanic character, played by Adam Irigoyen, is Catholic and even takes his girlfriend, played by Talitha Eliana Bateman, to midnight mass in one episode. Given the visceral antipathy that Jews feel toward the Catholic religion, one can only suppose that commercial interests (pandering to the Hispanic audience) have prompted a thus far sympathetic depiction of Catholicism. Nonetheless, it is our Jewish convert who is leading prayers aboard ship. 

Jewish Rebellion Against Rome

There are many Israelis who are fervently intent on rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem. To understand their motivation, it is important to have some understanding of the history associated with this temple  and the struggle of the Jewish people against their Roman oppressors at the time. Here is a quote from the Ancient History Encyclopaedia on the Bar-Kochba Revolt:

The Bar Kochba Revolt (132–136 CE) was the third and final war between the Jewish people and the Roman Empire. It followed a long period of tension and violence, marked by the first Jewish uprising of 66-70 CE, which ended with the destruction of the Second Temple, and the Kitos War (115-117 CE). In many ways, the Bar Kochba Revolt differed markedly from its predecessors. For the first time, the Jews presented a united front against Roman forces and fought underneath a single charismatic leader, the eponymous Simon Bar Kochba (also given as Shimon Bar-Cochba, Bar Kokhba, Ben-Cozba, Cosiba or Coziba). It was marked as well by strong religious passions, with many apparently believing that Bar Kochba was the promised messiah who would lead the Jewish people to final victory against their enemies.

Masquerade

Figure 1

My local cell phone provides identifies itself as Tsel-PakaiMasker. The Tsel is short for the company, Telkomsel, and PakaiMasker translates to Use Mask. B.C. (Before Covid), the identifier was probably Tsel LTE. See Figure 1. Additionally, I receive a daily barrage of unsolicited messages exhorting me to do the right thing. Below is just one example:

COVID19 is spread by droplets that come out when you cough, sneeze or TALK.  Therefore, always keep your distance, wear a mask and wash your hands with soap.  Covid19.go.id

The propaganda is relentless and there are signs everywhere as you walk about reinforcing the same message. By and large, everybody is complying. The promotion of mask wearing is an important part of this psyop. It's a visible symbol that people are fighting an allegedly dangerous pathogen that is spread by other people. Despite evidence that mask wearing is useless at stopping airborne virus infection and is a health hazard, the "masquerade" continues. One definition of masquerade is a false show or pretense, which is quite appropriate. If mask wearing had not been encouraged or, as in some countries, mandated, it would of course seem as if nothing had changed.

The mask has become very much a symbol of conformity, differentiating between those who accept the propaganda and those who don't. Of course, the muzzled masses will always be an overwhelming majority and so anti-maskers are easily parodied or even demonised.

Of course, this is part of the psyop. Many potential anti-maskers will wear masks to avoid the inconvenience of being barred from entering stores or to avoid the risk of fines and imprisonment in countries where mask-wearing is mandated. 

Another definition of masquerade is an attempt to deceive people about the true nature or identity of something. In this sense, it has to be conceded that the COVID-1984 scamdemic is certainly a very successful masquerade and the mask, an essential component of any literal masquerade, is a brilliant accessory.

NGOs

I have a friend in Australia who more or less accepts the mainstream narrative about COVID-19 and regards the WHO as genuinely caring about the health of the world's citizens. In response to exhortations on my part to find alternative and credible sources of information, he claimed Transparency International as one of his sources of information. 

I had not heard of this particular NGO so I did a little investigation. It's motto is: 

WE HAVE ONE VISION, A WORLD FREE OF CORRUPTION

This of course is a laudable goal but typically these sorts of NGOs are set up by the puppet masters to corner the debate on certain issues, corruption in the case of Transparency International and health in the case of the WHO.  Many well-intentioned individuals will work hard for these organisations, often as volunteers, in the belief that they are doing something worthwhile. This harnessing of the energy and idealism of youth is deliberate because, if directed elsewhere, it might really expose corruption or improve world health. Arundhati Roy puts its nicely when she says: 

Armed with their billions, these NGOs have waded into the world, turning potential revolutionaries into salaried activists, funding artists, intellectuals and filmmakers, gently luring them away from radical confrontation.

Anyway, Transparency International (TI) seems to be one of the more obnoxious NGOs around. It's founder, Peter Eigen, is a former regional director for the World Bank. Say no more. It has connections with various UN bodies and is in full support of sustainable development goals. Even the Wikipedia article for TI is far from flattering, highlighting several controversies, and finishing with this telling quote:

"On 25 March 2020 Wolfgang Wodarg was dismissed from his place as a member of the board of directors of Transparency International, after he expressed the opinion that the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was only one of many similar viruses which usually go undetected as part of an ordinary seasonal period of respiratory infections, and that the worldwide activities to stop the pandemic were "hype" caused by the selective perception of researchers."

It is remarkable how effective such organisations are in gaining credibility, thanks to the support of the MSM and the social media giants. James Corbett has produced an interesting video on US-based NGOs, focussing on their role in undermining foreign governments:

More generally however, NGOs are instruments of the Global Elite and designed to further the globalist agenda. Though some have their headquarters in a particular country, they are not closely associated with the government of that country. TI is an example of such an NGO: 

Transparency International is a German non-governmental organization founded in 1993. Based in Berlin, its nonprofit purpose is to take action to combat global corruption with civil societal anti-corruption measures and to prevent criminal activities arising from corruption.  

This article sums things up nicely:

Along with governments and corporations, the two torrents of power in the global landscape, NGOs are seen as a third force. Indeed, the big international ones – the BINGOs – with budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars are pretty powerful. But are they a countervailing force, striving tirelessly for social justice and the underdog? Poverty alleviation may be the rhetoric, critics argue, but in practice little that is lasting has been achieved on this front by NGO activism.

There is the compromising nature of their funding to consider – today contributions from governmental and intergovernmental aid agencies and from corporate donors often form the largest chunks of their income. Although some BINGOs will still deny it, this influences their outlook, making them increasingly accommodated to the wishes of their donors. Their language becomes all about forming partnerships with these interests, rather than challenging them. Work within the system, and business will transform the lives of the poor – it’s the Bono school of development, but with taxes.

In a recent article Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah, the secretary-general of Civicus, a global network of civil society organizations and activists, wrote: ‘We have become a part of the problem rather than the solution. Our corporatization has steered us towards activism-lite, a version of our work rendered palatable to big business and capitalist states. Not only does this approach threaten no-one in power, but it stifles grassroots activism with its weighty monoculturalism.’ 

My advice to my friend was to avoid NGOs as sources of information, relying instead on individuals who, as far as can be determined, did not have any links to vested interests. Of course such individuals are hard to find or, if they gain any degree of prominence, are invariably denigrated by the MSM.
