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. 

Relentless Propaganda

Figure 1

As shown in Figure 1, free "advertising" for WHO pops up on my YouTube home page whenever I access the website. It's the same on many other sites, especially social media. I don't have the stomach to click on the LEARN MORE button but I'm sure many do, desirous as they might be to find out more about the what the **** is going on. Unfortunately, they will not find anything useful by following the link. Instead they will be subjected to more propaganda from the World Hoax Organisation and guidelines on how best to cope with the plandemic that it created and that is sustained by the relentless propaganda spewed out to the sleeping masses by the mass media.

Even browsing mainstream garbage sites like the BBC is enough to make you question your sanity. Figure 2 shows what greets the visitor to the site's home page:

No opportunity is missed by the the BBC to promote the narrative of a rampaging virus that has penetrated to every corner of the planet. More disturbing are the morons who post photos of themselves on social media, with masks on, clearly proud of their conformity. Worse still are headlines like these (source):

Melbourne residents urged to dob their neighbours in for breaking lockdown rules - as police launch DRONES in coronavirus hotspots

• 36 suburbs across ten post codes plunged into lockdown on Wednesday night 
• Victoria Police has urged residents to report any suspected lockdown breaches
• Drones and number plate scanners will also be used to catch and rule breakers
• Chief Commissioner warned anyone caught flouting rules would be fined $1,652

The article goes on to say:

Victoria Police has been flooded with calls from concerned neighbours and urged people to continue reporting breaches on their website or non-emergency phone line. On average, police received around 3,500 non-urgent calls a day, but after the outbreak of the deadly virus became inundated with up to 11,000 everyday - the majority reporting those flouting the rules. 

These statistics are a terrible indictment of the gullibility and conformity of Australians. One expects that the politicians will do as their masters decree and that their uniformed thugs will enforce these decrees. However, it's the compliance of the public that is most disturbing.

The caption to the photo in Figure 3 states "each motorist is being asked where they are going, where they have come from and the reason for their travel". The article continues:

More than 1,000 police officers, including members from elite units, will stalk the streets over the month-long lockdown which has been set in 36 suburbs in the city's north west. Drones will also be hovering above neighbourhoods ...

1984 was late in coming but it finally arrived, neatly packaged and promoted in the form of Covid-1984. Figure 4 sums it up nicely.

You Shouldn't Be Stationary

Here are two interesting links to alternative takes on how to respond to the Corona virus:

• https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/24/12-experts-questioning-the-coronavirus-panic/
• https://off-guardian.org/2020/03/28/10-more-experts-criticising-the-coronavirus-panic/

The first article begins with an interview with Dr Sucharit Bhakdi, a specialist in microbiology. He was a professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and one of the most cited research scientists in German history. He says, in reference to the German government's corona virus containment measures (similar to those in many other countries):

The government’s anti-COVID19 measures] are grotesque, absurd and very dangerous […] The life expectancy of millions is being shortened. The horrifying impact on the world economy threatens the existence of countless people. The consequences on medical care are profound. Already services to patients in need are reduced, operations cancelled, practices empty, hospital personnel dwindling. All this will impact profoundly on our whole society. All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide based on nothing but a spook.

An embedded YouTube video in which Dr Bhakdi expressed his views in more depth no longer exists as the good doctor has had his YouTube channel deleted:
  

Some have quipped that COVID-19 would be better referred to as COVID-1984. In Australia at least, it really does feel like 1984 has arrived. This chilling video (opening screenshot below) is clear evidence of it and is contained in an article from news.com.au titled:

Coronavirus Australia:  

Can you sit down at the park? 

The short answer is no. The problem is with plenty of people stopping at the same time, the park ends up with 50 people in it. NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said there were a lot of what ifs, like if you were exercising, which is still allowed in all states in Australia. Asked whether a mother and kids could sit on the grass in the park and let them crawl and run around, Mr Fuller told the Today show that could count as exercise. “But again, the problem is, I guess if everyone went down to the park at the same time it becomes a complicating factor,” he said. “But do the kids have it or do you have it without symptoms and you are spreading it to someone else who comes in contact with your kids – and I know there is a lot of what ifs in this space, that's why I've asked police to continue to show high levels of discretion. “And I think they have been doing such a wonderful job with that regardless of some of the reporting.”

It good that police are showing "high levels of discretion" but the fact that they even have the discretion to decide such matters in the first place is alarming. More disturbing is that many Australians, like my friend, seem to be OK with this level of control being imposed upon them. 

The article continues:

“You shouldn’t be stationary. You shouldn’t be sitting anywhere – especially if 50 people might be social distancing, but if they’re all sitting in a park, that’s not acceptable. “That’s why police have had to act.” She said “if a number of people are stationary (in a park) that’s an unsafe place”.

It is bizarre to suggest you shouldn't be stationary in a park but NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian was serious. Who would have imagined this rather creepy looking woman issuing such a prohibition at the start of the year? Oh and here's a photo of her with you-know-who.

Needless to say she's up close and friendly with the Jewish community. In her own words, Israel is "a state that embodies the best of Jewish tradition, free speech and debate, innovation, ingenuity and above all else, resilience".
