I saw a young girl the other day wearing a mask while walking a dog in a park, so clearly she must wear this mask all the time. When i think of the likes of Wankcock and his Whatsapp messages about "deploying the next variant" and the need to "scare the pants off people" it makes me fume. I hope i live to see justice.
I was at a country pub last Sunday. Nearby was a group of 8 people, with just one of them wearing a mask. She kept on her mask to eat, just lifting the bottom of the mask to pass the fork through. No way could I have entertained being part of that group.
A lot of people have been permanently damaged by the government's disgusting propaganda, mentally and physically. Long periods of mask wearing damages health.
No, she was probably 16 yrs old and obviously petrified of germs. If you are so terrified that you shovel food under your mask then why even leave the house.
What about the reported fatality of a dad within the Trump crowd protecting his family though? and other injured crowd members? Was that staged too? - admit that the secret services delayed reactions to protecting Trump was very strange though and obviously throws up questions…
There have been so many psyops/false flag/staged events that have involved real people and made up people alike. Some ‘actors’ have even been used at more than one ‘event’. There was a ‘Sandy Hook Mom’ who popped up at another staged event as somebody else. It’s very hard to get your head round. I’ve been looking into the 2017 Las Vegas shooting where 60 people were said to have died, (I have even spoken to someone that was there and was hiding in the basement of the hotel the shooter was at) even so, seemingly the security services knew about it and got the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (who is said to have been a target) out of the audience just before it happened, all said to be part of a bigger future plan. I’ve no idea whether Trump’s assassination attempt was theatre on his side or his enemies or something else but imo it was theatre. Also thought it was very strange that Trump clasped his ear almost as the first bullet was fired, anybody who has been shot will tell you that you don’t feel it instantly, there is a definite delay. When you start questioning everything things seem to be so obviously fake. People believed for years that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK because that’s what they were told. The Insurrection at the Capitol was one that I watched when I wasn’t even properly ‘awake’ and everything about it seemed off, turns out that’s because it was. I think we have all seen and believed many psyops in the past. I didn’t doubt the narrative on 9/11 for years. Now I’m trying not to buy into, spend too much time on or believe anything! What’s going to happen is going to happen anyway, good or bad. What a time to be alive.
If we can believe the reports of a sniper, he said that he was told to stand down and not engage with the shooter. I believe the Secret Service is complicit just like the FBI and CIA. I am happy to be proved wrong.
Absolutely unforgivable masking our children. So resonate with everything you are saying Abi. The apathy and acceptance from people for crimes against humanity. Move on nothing to see here. Shameful
On all the themes of this excellent pod, (many thanks Abi) I watched a brilliant and gripping interview on You Tube via Tommy Robinson’s Silenced podcasts, which was with exiled Lebanese Jewish professor Gad Saad…
The jabbed sheep all seem to be permanently ill, both physically and mentally. Myself and another chap were discussing what's going on in the world and another man joined us, asking if we were going to watch the Wimbledon final and the football. I said, "I don't care about football since they started bending down on one knee and the way British society is conditioned to support the marginalisation of Russian tennis players and even, initially, cancelling classical, Russian music, means I can't be bothered with watching the tennis." He said, "where would you rather live, here or Russia?" and walked away.
An interviewee on Megyn Kelly's show (an ex marine, I believe) hit the nail on the head about the communist march through the institutions and politics, using Trump as a hate figure. Obama and Blair purged the institutions, in the US & UK, of moderates and replaced them with extremists.
I met a couple of men, out walking, one of whom proudly stated he voted Lib Dum and would've shot Trump himself given the chance. Not very Liberal or Democratic.
The same people that wished the unvaccinated would die a horrible death and be refused medical treatment are the same people who wished the Trump had died in the shooting. Family and longterm friends have shown who they really are during the last 4 years.
So true Jan. The trouble is they're all around us and they think they are on the moral high ground. Trump tried to fight the humourless with humour, knowing it would get right up their noses, but it just gave them more ammunition. Yes, they still seem disappointed we aren't all frothing at the mouth and repenting for not being injected.
Thinking aloud here: A Bridgen comment in parliament and book by Rod Dreher should be assessed on three things: the truth content; the occasion; and what we can know about motive – what, when and why.
I’m happy to say Bridgen has said some true things in the midst of a wrong approach to the argument (he focused on "the science" and not the ethics). He said them in a highly prescriptive context (the parliamentary processes of calling and conducting debates) and demonstrated the total lack of interest of the rest of parliament. But his motives are more than questionable, given his voting record and obvious lies etc. Personally, I don’t find anything useful in what he says: His science-over-ethics approach enables him to duck questions about his voting record. His lone voice in an empty parliament gave us photo evidence of what we already knew, that parliament was not interested. I’m not that excited about getting certain phrases in Hanserd – that assumes there are people in office who care what the record says.
Rod Dreher’s book came out in late 2020 and so was presumably completed in 2019 or early 2020. It says true things about totalitarianism drawn from interviews with people who have experienced it. A book is a slow form of contribution to an ongoing conversation. I think it needs to be seen as a contribution to the post 2016 backlash against Trump and Brexit from progressives. His target is the soft totalitarianism of Marxist/woke culture and he does well on that. His prescriptions are, by and large, good and serviceable (truth, cultivate cultural memory and family etc.) - although I found his application of principles of the underground church to the West a little bit under-baked: I know plenty of people who do church the way he would like to see as part of the march against Marxism (organic, spontaneous and minimal on structure and the proper understanding of the role of leadership) and they still went along with the covid scam while bemoaning political correctness. Incidentally, some of those churches are also prone to narcissistic “visionary leaders” who lean right on social values but are mini dictators in church governance.
I take his contribution, in his book “Live Not by Lies”, in terms of its “moment”, and extract what is good from the narrow focus of what it was attempting to do. I remember grabbing it as soon as it came out because I was desperate to find ways of pushing back against wokeness. I had seen wokery infiltrate apparently sound parts of the protestant churches, and also narcissistic totalitarian leaders.
The Scamdemic and the Gaza genocide has revealed there is a powerful stream of well supported “conservative” writers who push back against a designated set of topics and leave others well alone (i.e. “vaccine” death and injury, and Gaza). Dreher is one of them. His recent post on the Trump Shooting listed the evils of the deep state – it was quite a list – and it left off supporting genocide in gaza, the evil “vaccines” and support for the Ukraine war. The only covid sin of the State was lying about its origins and allowing BLM riots.
Dreher rode a wave of the resurgence of conservative writers and thinkers (Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray et al) who were right about a narrow set of things around wokery. The question is who is paying them to stay on allowable topics and giving them their platforms?
In summary, I firmly believe in the principle that evil people can say true things for wrong reasons and motives. The greatest example I can think of is in John’s gospel, where Caiaphas, the high priest, conspired with the religious authorities to kill Jesus. He says Jesus had to be killed to save the people. He meant saved from the Romans. His motives were utterly corrupt, but the text says he prophesised. Jesus would die for his people. God can force the truth out of the most evil lips. The apostle Paul also quotes secular poets and philosophers who say right things but whose motives he couldn’t know and whose view of God and humanity were very different from Christianity.
Loved that you left the trump ear show till last and just 2 minutes. Yep. It’s to focus on our own lives,be the lead, the director and producer of your earth journey, fear nothing, enjoy the ride. Teehee
I wear make-up everyday just for myself not to impress anyone. Even if I am home alone I always put my make-up on, it makes me feel better.
I am at the mercy of Sky as I am a football fan. I couldn’t care less about England but watching my team on Sky during the season is very important to me. I have followed my team for 50+years through the highs and the lows. Football, music and comedy take my mind off the crazy world we live in.
I pray there is eternal life otherwise nothing makes sense.
Trump incident was a staged event. It couldn't be anything else. The footage I've seen is just laughable. On the bigger issue, we are beyond
Government we are all about to be imprisoned in a corporate energy farm. Corporatism is a type of tyranny we cannot address - governments everywhere have sold us for their own personal greed. The stupid idiots think they're immune from consequences. Well, the consequences are death to us all.
Trump has been referencing Central Casting for a while. The karma thing they do - tell you and then do it, but people are still deceived- or we are led to believe they are deceived. No msm opinions can be trusted & I suspect a high proportion of 'manufactured' social media postings can't either.
I think it’s very possible and we have witnessed many in our lifetime, we just didn’t know it. Hard as it is to get your head round, when you do it smacks you in the face and you can see through it and rip the narrative apart within seconds. It took me a long time to get to grips/come to terms with the fact our governments don’t have our best interests at heart.
I’m Kate who’s dog Margot threw up at your feet with excitement at the Delingpole Icke gig in Manchester!
My son Ben was baptised by Daniel French in Devon last year and Rod Dreher a friend of Daniel’s re tweeted the picture of this which received massive traction as it highlighted how hard atheists are beginning to realise the spiritual battle in here and the peril we are in. Thanks for reminding me to read Rods book 🙏♥️
Just listening to the Whitehouse spokesman confirm security protection for RFK Jnr and his warning about the heightened danger to politicians, including Biden. I thought it would be unlikely that the incontinent, incompetent would be at any risk. It then occured to me that one way of securing the money donated to Biden which would be lost if he pulled out of the race (a very slow one in his case) would be his murder. I'm sure a way would be found to set Harris aside and it would have the added benefit of all the lefties warning of the risk to Democracy from the far right and, once more, claiming the moral high ground. I know it all sounds a bit Miri and she's welcome to pick up the thread, if she hasn't already considered this hypothesis.
Lest We also forget that very sadly and tragically in the history of
this country, there was far more antisemitism behind closed doors, both I believe? during and after The World Wars than the British would dare or care to admit - (in other words we have probably always had the tendency as a Nation to ‘fall in line’ with group think.)
Thank you for alerting me to this, Grace. I had NO idea these were his views on vaccines. I agree, it would be interesting to find out if his views have changed since 2015. I wonder what his stance on the lockdowns and the C-19 vaccines was?
Having read his book there is nothing in there that would be consistent with those views on Covid and vaccines. Those views were his in 2015. Here he is in 2021:
“As you know, I am vaccinated against Covid, and recently got the booster. I am a middle-aged man with immune system problems, so I judged it important to get vaxxed. I think most people should get vaxxed, but I oppose vaccine mandates. My God, what is being done to the unvaxxed in Europe is terrifying.”
Live not by lies was published in late 2020. It seems there was some travel in his thinking between 2015, researching the book and then 2021 but not on his understanding of vaccines in general.
I think the Puritan spiral is an issue we need to address. People don’t live with a seamlessly woven set of ideas and beliefs that all interlock neatly. We live with more of a collage of ideas, often clashing and in tension. That is because we can’t know all things at once by one glance at the world. That’s actually a rationalist view: the idea that by knowing one organising idea or theory I can know all things by logical deduction from one main idea. That idea also suggests that we can predict, from one statement, everything else a person believes. We might make some lucky guesses but knowledge doesn’t work like that. Someone can be very insightful on aspects of totalitarianism and clueless about vaccines.
Take what is useful and true where ever you find it.
I totally hear you Jonny, as we know, many people were fooled. He was/is very taken in by Covid though. I found loads of his tweets about Covid, variants, testing and the jabs, even Monkeypox. He blamed a ‘spike’ in illness in Louisiana on the unvaccinated and as far as I can see hinted that mandates should be a thing. It blows my mind that someone who writes so extensively about totalitarianism could be so blind to what was happening. ‘Take what is useful and true where ever you find it’ is very wise. I stopped listening to music by certain artists (ones that had sold their souls or pushed the jabs) for a long time after my Dad died. It’s not healthy, I actually think I was punishing myself by not listening, cutting my nose off to spite my face so to speak…….we should still be able to listen/read good work they produced if it is helpful and good for the soul but I am still conflicted and I would never pay again to see people who pushed the nonsense. I haven’t read Live Not By Lies so I might be talking out my arse 😂
I agree with you Jules. Even now he is saying that people should get the Covid jabs but he doesn’t think they should be mandatory. He is ruining what is left of his immune system by getting the boosters so anything else he has to say is lost on me.
Yes, like you I would never pay to see an artist that promoted the jabs.
Nice one and thanks for flagging up Dreher, always good to know. Coffey is on my list after hearing Abi reading him, I have also ordered ‘An inner step toward God’. I was a big reader before ‘Covid’ and even let that fizzle out to a certain extent in favour of listening to podcasts…..which now for the most part am completely bored of, present company excepted 😃
He believed in compulsory vaccinations in 2015, when vaccinations were injuring people even back then. Just look at the rise in autism in children. Anyone who believes in the covid jabs and he obviously does is not on the same page as me. The fact that he has a compromised immune system and has even had the booster tells me that his thinking is not sound.
It's important we speak our minds because none of us know the mindset of people such as Bridgen, Murray or Peterson. I wasn't sure about the COVID virus threat but the more I read, mostly on Gettr, from the likes of Malone and McCullough, the more I questioned what we were being told. Then, with TalkTV and GBNews debates, I concluded we were being manipulated and I didn't just smell a rat, I saw them on MSM (Andrew Neil, Flab faced Morgan etc.).
Establishment figures have been towing the line for years but I, for one, am thankful for those who spoke out, whether first or last. Of course there could be more plants than your average garden centre but, until proven otherwise, I'll choose to stick by those who dared to stand up and be counted, even if their egos and memories are less than perfect and their bank balances swell more than a covid jabbed arm.
I saw a young girl the other day wearing a mask while walking a dog in a park, so clearly she must wear this mask all the time. When i think of the likes of Wankcock and his Whatsapp messages about "deploying the next variant" and the need to "scare the pants off people" it makes me fume. I hope i live to see justice.

Wow.Shocking.Did she look like a subservient to a domineering partner?I've seen some of that sort of thing going on with couples....
No, she was probably 16 yrs old and obviously petrified of germs. If you are so terrified that you shovel food under your mask then why even leave the house.
Terrible. Very brainwashed.Probably all combined with an eating disorder maybe too....😭

Some would say not. This link from a commenter on Scott Ritter's substack 'The Dead Zone, Revisited' : https://www.caclubindia.com/assets/maxwell-yearick/
I dont think its possible to stage a near death experience live on tv in front of 1000s of people?
I think it’s very possible and we have witnessed many in our lifetime, we just didn’t know it. Hard as it is to get your head round, when you do it smacks you in the face and you can see through it and rip the narrative apart within seconds.

Also " fearing not having a purpose" creates all the cults like, ANTIFA, Just Stop Oil, BLM etc

Spot on Grace and now there is nobody in Parliament, that I can think of, who is prepared to speak out.
It's important we speak our minds because none of us know the mindset of people such as Bridgen, Murray or Peterson. I wasn't sure about the COVID virus threat but the more I read, mostly on Gettr, from the likes of Malone and McCullough, the more I questioned what we were being told.
