The UGLY truth about the Covid-19 lockdowns – Part 2

And while you are still in Covid-19(84) mode, if you have not run your details though the Oxford University Covid-19 risk calculator, now would be a good time to do so and to share that link with others.

Update: I have asked PANDA to repost the videos on Vimeo, Odysee & BitChute now that the utterly toxic YouTube has removed them.

Update 2: Screw YouTube, the original video now reposted from Vimeo. It is also on Odysee. Will repost this one (Part 2) when it is also available again. (Update 2a: Vimeo also deleted it, reposted via Odysee).

Update 3: BitChute to the rescue! Part 2 reposted.

  • Paul Marks

    What is the point of reporting any of this?

    Even Steve Hilton (the ultra moderate friend of David Cameron) reported on the “Gain of Function” research in Wuhan – i.e. that the international establishment (such as Peter Daszak of the World Health Organisation) may well have helped create the plague they were using to justify their lockdowns – whether or not it escaped accidently.

    The response from the mainstream? Simple “this is fake Moon landing stuff”. Even though it had been reported many times before either Steve Hilton or Tucker Carlson reported it (in fact it took vast efforts by many people to get these mainstream figures to report it) – and some of the sources were involved in the medical research both in the United States and China.

    Dr Atlas (only last year of the highest rank in the American government) has described the arguments used to justify lockdowns as “despicable lies” by people, such as Dr Fauci, with an obvious political agenda – but that is “fake Moon landing stuff” as well.

    Everything is “fake Moon landing stuff” if it reveals the world as it is – in all its rottenness.

    I am reminded of my youth, when I was a young boy – I was astonished (I could not believe it) when President Nixon and Prime Minister Heath pretended not to know that Mao had murdered tens of millions of people. But my father (Harry Marks) told me that he had known of the murder of millions in the Soviet Union in the 1930s – and people who had known my father back then confirmed to me that he had talked about it.

    But at the same time such people as the President of the United States (Franklin Roosevelt) and the New York Times denied it all – although they did NOT say it was “fake Moon landing stuff”.

    I repeat why bother? Why bother reporting the truth about the lockdowns (that they were not about “public health” – they were an international political agenda), why bother reporting the truth about Early Treatment (that it could have saved about 80% of the people who died – but was systematically smeared), and why bother reporting the truth about the origin of the virus?

    It is not going to make any difference – we might as well just scream at the sky, for all the good it will do.

  • Paul Marks

    Only last year I was one of the people who said “if only we can get mainstream figures to report on all this – that would make the difference”. Hence feeding the mainstream figures with information again and again (essentially NAGGING them) till eventually a few mainstreamers did report some of it – and then the response was…… “fake Moon landing stuff”.

    What an utter fool I was. It was all wasted effort – and a lot of people put far more effort into it than I did.

    Still – YES the lockdowns have caused great harm to health (harm – not benefit), thousands of people will die of cancer and other illnesses. And the lockdowns have not reduced deaths from Covid 19 – not overall.

    The harm that the lockdowns have done has been vast – economic, social and medical harm. No one will be punished for this – not in any country. And the political agenda (whether one calls it “Stakeholder Capitalism” or “Sustainable Development” or some other name) will march on.

  • Bulldog Drummond

    What is the point of reporting any of this? — I repeat why bother?

    I feel the same when when I read your comments. Why do you bother? To all intents you might as well be on the other side, because its not just that you think the fight is hopeless, you’re actively trying to discourage people from speaking out. With all due respect, mate, go **** yourself.

    (editors: let’s try to keep it somewhat polite)

  • Paul Marks

    As for the question the Gentleman asks in the film.

    I do not have an answer as to why the vaccination program has seen an “up tick” in deaths in various countries – I did not even know that it had done (I was totally IGNORANT of this). I can not answer the question – because I do not have the facts.

    For myself I accepted the vaccination (two days ago) in a desperate effort to find work – as employers will not even look at unvaccinated people.

    “But it could make you more likely to die”.

    If (if) so – that would, on balance, be a good thing. I can honestly say that if I knew the “jab” would kill me (say next year – when the next virus comes along) I would still have accepted it. I do NOT know that – it will be interesting to find out.

    Of course “Poverty Kills” – “not in the West Paul”, wait and see.

    Yes CCP did push lockdowns – but it was pushing at an open door. The World Health Organisation and so on have been pushing totalitarianism for a long time – they were just waiting for an opportunity like this (even if they did not deliberately create it – even if its release from the lab was a real accident).

    “The government of South Africa is divided between Communists and crooks” – sounds like the FBI.

  • Paul Marks

    Bulldog Drummond.

    Perhaps you would be better telling the people who describe any honest reporting as “fake Moon landing stuff” to go …. themselves, rather than telling me to do so.

    But then you do not even comment under your own name.

    I have a suggestion for you – stand up, under your own name, and tell the truth about Covid 19. All of the truth.

    Are you are prepared to do that?

    Risk everything you have left – and then see how “friends” respond.

  • Paul Marks

    I remember people who boasted how tough they were in relation to Islam.

    When I was punished, ironically enough for comments that were not even hostile to Islam, those “tough” people were no where to be found. Too busy hiding under fake names – just as they do with Covid 19.

  • Paul, you think me posting this video is pointless, yet you presumably think your comment informing me it is a waste of time is nevertheless a good use of your time. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Do you recommend abject surrender? Should I delete the blog & retire to my fortified basement & hope no one notices I am here? Seriously, what would be the optimal outcome proceeding from your generously proffered opinions above?

    I do not wish to phrase things the way Bulldog did but I am not entirely unsympathetic to his sentiments.

  • Paul Marks

    Perry – let me give you, and Bulldog, an example of what I mean.

    Like many people I (via the wonders of technology – mobile phones) watched the 2020 American Presidential Election being rigged – I watched Election Law being violated in key places, with the (illegal) excluding of registered poll watchers because it was felt (quite correctly) that they would object to the (illegal) counting of Mail-In ballots that had no proof of identity, and the illegal removal or excluding of poll watchers for other reasons. It should be pointed out for people who do not know that only State Legislatures (not Mark Zuckerberg and his pals – via people people they have paid) have the right to change Election Law.

    A State Governor may not, legally, change Election Law (for example to allow unlimited Mail-In ballots without clear I.D.) using “Covid” as some sort of magic spell – Covid 19 in no way changes election law. Only State Legislatures may change Election Law.

    After seeing the election rigging with my own eyes – I advised AGAINST what people did on January 6th.

    Why would I do that? After all I had seen the election rigging – surely (after the corrupt courts had refused to do anything) people should march into the chamber to protest?

    I advised against it for two reasons.

    Firstly – that the people they were dealing with would have no problem at all in shooting down unarmed protestors. I watched one lady (an Air Force veteran and small business owner – but unarmed) shot down and die – I watched that by mobile phone technology, and it is exactly what I thought would happen.

    Secondly such activity (protests and so on) would be used as an excuse for a massive CRACK DOWN – for example the FBI (corrupt scum that they are) are being very busy bees over this (targeting many people who had nothing to do with it).

    Why do you think that an Antifa offshoot (paid by CNN) was directing people into the building? And more Antifa people deliberately caused criminal damage? The people I watched myself (via mobile phone technology) and who the, totally corrupt, Director of the FBI denies existed.

    Do you think they were very upset about the Presidential Election Rigging of November 2020?

    On the contrary – they were delighted by the Election Rigging. What they wanted was for Trump supporters to get themselves killed – and to have a massive excuse for a CRACKDOWN by the authorities. They supported what happened for exactly the reasons I was against it.

    It is my duty to advice people NOT to oppose the powers that be – as to do so will ruin their lives.

    “Then why do you do it”.

    I am a bad example – I seldom take my own good advice.

  • Flubber

    Paul, I have a lot of sympathy with you as I am much of a similar mind.

    But you are in danger of overdosing on black pills.

    We have to keep spreading the hatefacts, if for no other reason than to straighten people’s backs for the fights that are to come.

    Wallowing in surrender isn’t going to help anyone, especially yourself.

  • Paul Marks

    Do not do as I do – do as I say. Keep your head down and do not give the establishment an excuse to destroy you. It does not matter about me – but other people have lives and families.

    Even David Cullen (the classic “wild Irishman” – except he is not really wild at all, he is very thoughtful and considered, although I do NOT always agree with him) has advised that people NOT go to mass protests against the Covid 19 lockdown in Ireland, and the restrictions that are to come (under the “Climate Change Emergency” and so on).

    We all know that such protests will be infiltrated (acts of violence and so on will be done – in order to give an excuse for a CRACK DOWN), and that the people who are honestly involved in protests will be punished in various horrible ways, and their families will suffer to.

    What I might say and do is not a good guide to what other people should say and do.

    There are some honest people in politics – for example Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin (although he is almost painfully innocent – he really does seem to believe that if he can only explain to people that vast numbers of human beings will die because of their policies, they will change their policies AS IF THEY DID NOT KNOW). Perhaps those who avoid being destroyed now we live to see better days – in the future after economic collapse has brought down the system (although those will be hard days to live though).

    As General Flynn pointed out long ago – they will not just go after you, they will go after your family. There is NOTHING they will not do. That does not mean defeating them is impossible – but keep in mind what you risk.

    As for me – of course I will not draw back when told the truth (or what little of the truth we can mainstreamers to say) is “fake Moon landing stuff” or proof that “Americans” are insane (I am not American – but there were go).

    But, again, do not follow my example – I am very bad example to follow.

  • It is my duty to advice people NOT to oppose the powers that be – as to do so will ruin their lives.

    No it is not your duty, people can do their own risk assessment. Like Bulldog suggested, you are effectively, even if not intentionally, on the other side if that is your advice to anyone sticking their head above the parapet.

  • Paul Marks

    Flubber – I spread the “hatefacts” every day, and I will do so till I am destroyed (by my own hand – or by external agency).

    But other people should know what they face if they go down that road – even friends often prove to be nothing of the kind, not what it matters.

    Is a person prepared to lose everything and die in the gutter? For me the choice is already made (made long ago) – other people still have a choice. And they must think of their families – not just themselves.

  • Inverness Docksides Clown

    Paul takes the correct stance here.

    This tragic fact is sadly true, and in no small way because too many people were too “sensible” to not recognize what was more likely than not to be a slippery slope before they set foot on it, then thought they were doing well to stay upright as they slope.

    It is too bad that slippery slope was not paved with the tombstones of dead Jews, removed from the road to Auschwitz. But even then even the intellectuals, especially the intellectuals, would have been too clever to not realize the full significance of the paving material.

    So if the choice is to be dragged off to the Tower and rot there until you are dragged off to the chopping block, or to live out the whole text of The Decameron, and you choose The Decameron, I personally could see how infallible your Logic is.

    Or you could do what the congregation I shall have to move away from, but only to a better, more adult congregation does:

    Spend 10 weeks on the Book of Daniel, on the good part, which teaches how to live out and practice your Faith in world that either scorns or executes you for the practice of said Faith, and on the part that is more Dan Brown (Daniel is one Horny Prophet – and the meaning of the number of horns MUST be studied in detail, even if that portion of the book is a Maccabean Afterthought) than Daniel the Prophet.

    Partying on seems like it would be more enjoyable, and useful. After all, Evangelizing usually means reaching out to people who are not already in the Choir (and Believe that the Word of God is the Word of God), and at some point incessantly reading and re-reading, then re-reading the Prophets again for proof that Jesus was the Only Begotten Son of God the Creator and the Messiah suggests that one’s Faith is weaker than one realizes it is.

    So Party On, Dudes!

    Thinking about how bad the world has gotten was the thing to do before you descended the Slippery Slope. The world got better after the Fall of Rome, eventually.

  • llamas

    To our gracious host – without reflecting in any way on the subject under discussion, I want to register my serious displeasure at the language that has been used, and is apparently being tolerated, in this thread.

    Paul Marks said nothing that would justify being being told by another to ‘go fuck yourself’. May I inquire, is this type of discourse to be tolerated here? Inquiring minds want to know.

    llater,

  • Paul takes the correct stance here.

    No, he does not take the correct stance. There is nothing correct or admirable about advocating surrender and despair, doing so is quite literally is doing the enemy’s job for them.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    For the most part, I don’t think Paul and Perry are saying things that are mutually exclusive.

    Paul says “I repeat why bother? Why bother reporting the truth about the lockdowns (that they were not about “public health” – they were an international political agenda) […] It is not going to make any difference – we might as well just scream at the sky, for all the good it will do.”. Perry says “there is nothing correct or admirable about advocating surrender and despair”. Both can be true. And, in my opinion, both are true.

    What is the “right” decision? There is no right decision. Everyone must decide for themselves what to do.

    Paul says “It is my duty to advice people NOT to oppose the powers that be – as to do so will ruin their lives.” Perry says “There is nothing correct or admirable about advocating surrender and despair, doing so is quite literally is doing the enemy’s job for them.” Both are correct, imo.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    Only last year I was one of the people who said “if only we can get mainstream figures to report on all this – that would make the difference”. Hence feeding the mainstream figures with information again and again (essentially NAGGING them) till eventually a few mainstreamers did report some of it – and then the response was…… “fake Moon landing stuff”.

    What an utter fool I was. It was all wasted effort – and a lot of people put far more effort into it than I did.

    Well, the fool thinks himself wise and the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

    It does appear that Paul is starting to ingest “black pills” – at least on the topic of COVID lockdowns, preventative medicine, and related matters. The rabbit hole is deep, and black pills can spur one to ask the wrong questions.

    Years ago I said on Samizdata that “democracy is where liberty goes to die”. Years ago I said on Samizdata that “in 40 years libertarians will be yearning for the good old days of President Barack Hussein Obama”. Years ago I said on Samizdata “government cannot limit itself, which is to say that government by its nature simply cannot be limited de jure.”

    I am not claiming to have predicted the future. I am claiming to have predicted the general direction of the future – and I am claiming to have known and said that resistance to an ever-enlarging government is futile in a democracy or constitutional republic. Because, as I’ve been saying for years, I know that (and many reasons why) democracies and constitutional republics are, in the long run, antithetical to human liberty. Unlike absolute divine-right hereditary monarchies.

    There are many, many other comments I have made on Samizdata that I could link to right now that I think may, in retrospect, deserve a second consideration by certain folks.

    G-d bless us all.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    Apropos the matter discussed among Perry, Paul, and others – I can’t find it now, but there is a wonderful tangent in one of Mencius Moldbug’s excellent essays in which he says something along the lines of (I am paraphrasing) ‘the best way to defeat the Progressives is to stop fighting them’. I think this is the key.

    Leftism has an Achilles heel. No, it’s not facts. Facts are a good way to strengthen our resolve and, on occasion, turn a Leftist into someone opposed to Leftism. Facts may prove Leftists are wrong but facts do not defeat Leftism (facts feed Leftism in the same way blood feed leeches – and for the same reason). The Achilles heel of the left is revealing to the world what Leftism actually is. Revealing to the world what Leftism ACTUALLY is – this is the way.

    Insane person is in a room screaming inanities. Argue with the person and you look a bit ridiculous – and, more importantly, it’s unclear to bystanders just how insane the insane person is. Stop arguing and bystanders notice the inanity of the words spewing from the mouth of the insane person. Refraining from directly arguing with insane person is easier said than done when the insane person runs the US federal government, but eventually this is the only path and it does not preclude dropping hate facts along the way. But we should also stop pretending that Leftism can be reasoned with. It cannot be.

  • APL

    Paul Marks: “Too busy hiding under fake names – just as they do with Covid 19.”

    I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. Anyone can use what used to be called a pseudonym, even Paul Marks could be an alias.

    For example, someone might drop off Samizdata as Nullius in Verbia, and pop back up as Gingerdave. What difference does it make?

  • Jon Eds

    First of all, I agree with Llamas. Bulldog’s rudeness was uncalled for.

    Paul, like many of us (including myself) I am sure you are struggling mentally at the moment. Although it may be therapeutic to unleash your anxieties on us, it is not therapeutic for me.

    For all of us:

    By participating in the ‘always on’ news cycle/social media we are part of the problem. In no small part has it contributed to the current panic. I have tried to cut back on my consumption and feel better for it. At least try not to use your computer on the weekend (he says). Making yourself ill doesn’t serve the cause.

    By all means, try and spread the facts if you can do so without putting yourself in an invidious position. You help nobody by weakening your position. If I managed to get myself fired (I judge this reasonably likely in the next two years, due to insufficient enthusiasm for woke causes), then I cannot influence anybody or provide financial support to others (e.g. Laurence Fox campaign). It may sound silly but try and think of yourself as a secret agent working under-cover.

    It is tempting to despair at all the mini-Putins running around just waiting to have us ‘covid deniers’ locked into our houses forever. But really, even most intelligent people don’t have much interest in challenging the status quo, and most people just believe what the media tell them. The true villains are not the British people but our government, specifically Boris Johnson and Gove. Hancock is a non-entity that should have been fired long ago. Boris has failed at every level and should go down as one of the worst prime ministers in history.

    Anyhoo, if the sun is blotted out by arrows then we will fight in the shade.

  • Paul Marks (April 1, 2021 at 2:17 pm), again I quote Churchill:

    “For myself, I am an optimist. There does not seem to be much point in being anything else.”

    The current stealing of the US election is vile – but not “Fall of France” level, let alone “war is over”. Our enemies are neither as secure nor as skilled as they pretend. They face upcoming problems, some self-inflicted. We are not in the position of de Gaulle after making his first Free French broadcast, when he wrote in his diary

    I seemed to myself like a man standing on the shore of the Atlantic, asserting he would cross it by swimming.

    Meanwhile, I’m glad you do as you should, not as you advise, in view of Burke’s wise warning;

    The only thing necessary to the victory of evil men is that good men should do nothing.

    Many of whom we had hopes have failed, but it’s not like 1960, when the cheated candidate wimped out of fighting it.

    I appreciate we all have to let off steam somehow. 🙂

  • Paul Marks

    Good point APL – although we never did find out whether GingerDave was Nullius.

    When I first looked at the name I thought “is David Cullen paying us a visit”, but then I read what the man was writing.

    Still it could be worse – it could be “Lexington” from the Economist magazine, latest column “Biden’s Good Start” and, no, the swine was not being sarcastic.

    Shlomo – we are in Obama’s third time.

    As for democracy – I would have loved some in November 2020.

    An election that was NOT rigged would have been democratic – not one that was.

    At this point Perry will jump up and say “you accept the election was rigged – but you advocate surrender”.

    Well yes – in the sense that I agued against January 6th and I STAND BY MY POSITION.

    People gave the enemy the excuse for the CRACKDOWN they wanted, and one brave woman got herself shot to death – and I watched her die (via the wonders of modern technology). It went exactly as I thought it would – and Antifa (that Antifa offshoot paid by CNN) had worked this out as well – and manipulated people with ease. They could do that because people thought that their protest would achieve something – if only they could enter the chamber and make their voices heard. Come this way ladies and gentleman – and we will damn you as “insurrectionists” all over the media (and get the FBI to persecute you and your families – because you have given them the PERFECT EXCUSE).

    “But Paul the courts were corrupt – they did NOTHING to overturn the Election Rigging!”

    Does anyone think I do not know that?

    Does anyone think I do not know that?

    Yes, I generally agree. And I stand by what I said in all comments earlier in this thread.

    Just one quibble: what was missing in November 2020 was perhaps not democracy but rule of law. Semantics? Maybe. Or maybe both rule of law and democracy were missing? Maybe.

    I still also think that what Perry and you have been saying are not mutually exclusive. Both are true on different timelines.

    The system must run its course and in democracy/constitutional republics the system is Leftism. It must exhaust itself. Trump accelerated things dramatically – and the reasons why Trump’s actions accelerated the exhaustion of leftism are the same reasons why the elites could not permit Trump to win in 2020. Trump is a hero.

  • Paul Marks

    The government-media were at it again today. A leftist voice American (I swear by the souls of my parents that I can tell a leftist just by the sound of their voice, the way they speak, even if they were just reading out the telephone directory) was on the BBC – going on about the latest violence in D.C. And he mentioned, in passing, the “protests” of the summer of 2020 and the “insurrection” of January 6th 2021

    So months of months of killing and burning were “protests”, but some trusting fools waving flags was an “insurrection”.

    Let us say I could have taken that person with his sickly sweet voice, and got to work with a blow torch and various tools (over some days) till he finally stopped lying because he was no longer in this world. What good would that do? He would instantly be replaced, in whatever branch of the media or government he was with, by someone exactly like himself – they come off an assembly line. Violence just gives an excuse for even more of a CRACK DOWN – and the destruction of what little liberty that remains.

    Turning back to Covid 19.

    In the Daily Telegraph there was a signed editorial a few days ago – with signatures from many government leaders around the world, including the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Basically a signed statement that there is an international political agenda to establish a body (modelled on the World Heath Organisation – but with the force of law) that could impose regulations on the world in the name of “health” – specifically “One Health, humans, animals and our planet”. So no real need for messy things like Parliament and elections – although they would carry on, regulations would be enforced by International Treaty, International Law.

    Well there you are Schlomo that is the end of democracy – but I think we can agree it would not be a good thing to have the world governed by a group of officials (in the name of “health”). Even if the head of this body was not an Marxist Doctor of Philosophy (not of medicine) with a long history of personal corruption and being a puppet of the PRC. Oh yes his name was on the editorial – he is the head of the World Health Organisation.

    The ultimate “right wing paranoid conspiracy theory” (world “governance” by unelected officials) – and it had the signatures of many heads of government upon it. Perhaps they just sign whatever is put in front of them without reading it – I HOPE SO.

    The day I looked at this was also the day I was accused of pushing “fake Moon landing stuff” – why so?

    Well for saying there is an international agenda to – well to do what the editorial in the Telegraph said they wanted to do.

    And that there was “Gain of Function” research in Wuhan to tweak a natural virus to make it more dangerous – something that has been reported again and again for months, including by such people as Steve Hilton (the friend of David Cameron). As well as that the moderate Californian Tucker Carson – and he is a moderate, think to yourself when was the last time Tucker C. took a policy position that did not already have majority support? Extremist he is NOT.

    So Steve Hilton is a raving right winger pushing lies against the noble World Health Organisation and associates (Peter Daszak, Dr Fauci and their associates).

    And that was the response of libertarian friends. Yes it was April the 1st – but they were not kidding, they were PROTECTING THEMSELVES.

    It was not that they did not know (they knew it all – the Gain of Function research, the political agenda…..) they are not dumb – they know. But they do not wish to know.

    At least they do not wish to know AT THIS TIME.

    Perhaps Nial is correct – and there may come a time when they do wish to know. If the balance of forces changes at some future time. But not today – today it is “fake Moon landing stuff”.

    As for me Perry – no I will not be surrendering.

    I made my choice long ago – too late for me to surrender now.

  • Paul Marks

    Yes Shlomo – you are correct.

    What I really wanted was the rule of law – me and three members of the Supreme Court.

    And was not even expecting three of them to stand up for the Res Publica – so I was pleasantly surprised by that.

    I also wanted reform – NOT collapse. It is possible – there are examples of it in history. Examples of successful reform – countries that seems utterly finished, correcting course before it was too late.

    But we are going to get collapse. It was NOT inevitable – but the establishment have insisted upon it.

    For there I am an optimist – leftism will not work.

    The “ESG” (environment, social justice, governance) system will not work – the idea of the governments and Credit Bubble banks laying down “Woke” principles for all corporations to follow, which they, in turn, will make everyone follow.

    That was one of Mr Obama’s ideas – but it goes back long before him (Agenda 21 becomes Agenda 2030 – and Agenda 21 comes from 1992, and was in the works long before that).

    None of it will work – it will all collapse.

    As the saying goes “the end will be terrible – but at least it will be the end”.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    Paul Marks,

    He would instantly be replaced, in whatever branch of the media or government he was with, by someone exactly like himself – they come off an assembly line.

    This is precisely the case – and for the same reasons that sovereignty abhors a vacuum.

    It was not that they did not know (they knew it all – the Gain of Function research, the political agenda…..) they are not dumb – they know. But they do not wish to know.

    At least they do not wish to know AT THIS TIME.

    A system must run its course. Every system must run its course and run through to exhaustion. In democracy/constitutional republics the system is leftism. Our political system itself IS leftism. Leftism must exhaust itself, Leftism must run its course.

    Every blade of grass of resistance must be mowed down. But every blade of grass (“the federal reserve is printing money” “privacy is a right” “minimum wage causes more unemployment” “free speech is a human right” “gain of function research in Wuhan”) is a reminder that there is a lawn mower.

    The only way to defeat leftism is to stop fighting it. And yet, at the same time, it is true that Leftism cannot ever be FULLY defeated because the line between good and evil runs through every man’s heart.

    Well there you are Schlomo that is the end of democracy – but I think we can agree it would not be a good thing to have the world governed by a group of officials (in the name of “health”). Even if the head of this body was not an Marxist Doctor of Philosophy (not of medicine) with a long history of personal corruption and being a puppet of the PRC. Oh yes his name was on the editorial – he is the head of the World Health Organisation.

    Things do seem to be moving in this direction. I agree with you. It is horrid, beyond terrible – on many levels and for many reasons. Perhaps they will not let the system collapse if the system is global.

    Sometimes I wonder if we are living in a science fiction novel. Sometimes I wonder if Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems was correct when he wrote “Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us”.

    I would contend that, ultimately, universalism is to blame. We are in big, big trouble. I trust in the Creator.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    None of it will work – it will all collapse.

    I’m not as optimistic as you are in this respect.

    I mean, I suppose everything ends eventually, but eventually can be a long time. Millenia.

    We need a sovereign, a King to tell the globalists and NWO apparatchiks to fuck off. I’ve said for years that no POTUS or PM will ever do what needs to be done to stop leftism because they lack even a modicum of the real sovereignty necessary to do what needs to be done. We need a leader who makes Trump look like Bill Clinton. We need a leader who makes Viktor Orban look like Jimmy Carter.

    At this moment, though, I think Americans are too proud to surrender their de jure rights to a sovereign in order to safeguard their de facto rights from the tyrannical oppression of the globalist left. The only constant in this world is change, though.

  • Mr Ecks

    Paul Marks–Your defeatist wibble is not without a price.

    Heads down cowardly foolery is not a solution let alone any kind of salvation.

    There is no “obey enough and they will leave you alone”. They have no fucking intention of leaving us alone at any level above reaching a point were they cant drive us any lower.

    Bogus Johnson has already announced greenfreak bullshit enough to ensure that first ordinary UK citizens and then EVERYONE not part of the “elite” or their servants is going to be flopped lower than whaleshit.

    Windwank elec at 4x today’s price minimum. 60-90 grand elec cars =no-cars-for-plebs FIRST. Well off mugs will motor for a while longer and then no more cars at all. Why do you think a POS like Johnson was doing his bus photoshoot a few weeks back? That is the only time you EVER will see the cunt on a bus. Add in insect paste and being forced into urban hellholes and talk that plebs like us can live in barracks not our own houses.

    Are you cowardly enough to keep your head down for all that Paul?

    Cos even if I cant beat them–and I know we can–I am going to die fighting.

    If I were your commanding officer –you would be shot have no doubt. In fact you would quite possibly be awarded the Markof Prize.

  • Gingerdave

    Good point APL – although we never did find out whether GingerDave was Nullius.

    I remember Nullius, I’m not him. Though I could just be saying that – how would any of us prove it?

  • Lee Moore

    Though I could just be saying that – how would any of us prove it?

    Or more succinctly – “nullius in verba.”

  • As for me Perry – no I will not be surrendering. I made my choice long ago – too late for me to surrender now.

    Really? In that case, Paul, what was the meaning of what you wrote here and everything in between?

    What is the point of reporting any of this? […] I repeat why bother? Why bother reporting the truth about the lockdowns (that they were not about “public health” – they were an international political agenda), why bother reporting the truth about Early Treatment (that it could have saved about 80% of the people who died – but was systematically smeared), and why bother reporting the truth about the origin of the virus? It is not going to make any difference – we might as well just scream at the sky, for all the good it will do.

    Hard to see that as anything else but a call for surrender and despair. With friends like this, who needs enemies?

  • Paul Marks

    Perry you should actually read what I wrote – not just bits of it.

    For example Perry, you have not said one word about the people who described the truth, even when presented from mainstream sources, as “fake Moon landing stories”. I know WHY they did that, they wanted to protect themselves – I understand that, accepting destruction is a hard choice to make, – but they still did it.

    “With friends like this, who needs enemies”.

    Rather my point Sir.

    When the going gets tough, when they realise they are going to lose EVERYTHING, people tend to fall away – and I understand why (quite understand).

    Anyone who takes up these matters (Covid 19, the American election – any important matter) has to keep in mind that when things get tough (when you-and-they are going to lose everything) many of your closest friends are going to let you down, in order to save themselves – and you have to be mentally prepared for that.

    And you have to understand that it will, most likely do no good at all, that you lose everything – and achieve nothing. All that being said – I will carry on screaming at the sky, the truth (or that small bit of it I know) needs to be said – for its own sake.

  • Paul Marks

    Mr Ecks.

    If I was cowardly and kept my head down, I would be a wealthy and successful person.

    I assure you that I am not.

    You want to shoot me.

    Fine, my address is 4 Northumberland Road, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN15 6LW.

    I can stand outside the house and you can shoot me then – from your car.

    No problem at all Sir – I am only too glad to help.

    Just tell me what time you want me to stand outside.

  • Paul Marks

    There was an editorial in the Daily Telegraph (I am now told it was on the 31st of March – not April the 1st as I hoped), signed by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and many other heads of government around the world.

    It openly admits to an international political agenda for permanent world governance via unelected officials – in the name of health. The language that made me hope it was an April’s Fools joke (for example “One Health, people, animals and our planet”) was serious, and to be embodied into an International Treaty creating a body “modelled after the World Health Organisation” to create regulations that would have the force of law – under the justification of health (which would give unlimited power to these officials).

    Well there you go people – a signed “confession” (for want of a better word – although it was more like a boast, but then Rousseau’s Confessions also reads more like a series of boasts, even when it is about abandoning his own children again-and-again), to at least the political agenda side of the “fake Moon landing” story.

    Let us hope that at least some of these government leaders, hopefully our own Prime Minister, had not read what they were signing. Officials actually write these things (whether it is Agenda 21 back in 1992 – or the rest of it) and it may be that political leaders have little knowledge of what the officials (and “experts”) put the names of the political leaders upon.

    That is possible – let us hope for that.

  • Mr Ecks

    If I had a gun Paul I would be keeping it for when needed. I said “if I was your CO” which is clearly a metaphorical statement since I am not and never will be. Both of us being too old to serve in any military. An expression of my dislike of your seeming defeatism.

    You are a bizarre mixture. Defeatism one minute and the extremely unwise-if-courageous proffering of your personal details the next. Doxing yrself in effect. I would ask PdH if he might consider redacting your info for your own sake. You do not know who is on the Net.

    Buy something that goes around very fast–the Merry-go-Round from the finale of “Strangers on a Train” say-and stand on it a lot in the hope that enough spin will cause the various ill-integrated parts of your personality to run into a smoother and more harmonious whole Paul.

    Mental strength is many times more important than physical strength. We cannot afford to undermine our own resolve in the slightest.

  • Paul Marks

    Mr Ecks – not really a sacrifice on my part.

    Remember my face and details were in the Guardian in 2019 – and I got death threats long before that, anyway.

    As a local councillor (at least till the Shadow Authority comes to an end when the new authority is elected in May) my details are all open – anyone may contact me, and they do.

    My telephone number is 01536 511847 – if you want a chat, please give me a ring. It would be good to hear a non leftist voice.

    If there is hope I would be delighted – I have changed my mind about a lot of things over the years. I am open to any good argument you would want to present.

    Remember – that to me the vital step to maintain my resolve is to accept the true horror of our position.

    Also remember (warning – a bit if whining self justification) that I was badly provoked on the day I wrote the first comment on this thread – not by the post (or by Perry in some other capacity), but by things that were directly linked to the post. I was let down – rather badly. I was reminding myself (as much as anyone else) that one must NOT rely on hope (or anyone else). I should not have been so upset – I should have EXPECTED what had happened.

    Of course I should have risen up it all – I was (very foolishly) not expecting what happened. I let down my mental guard and allowed myself to HOPE. A very serious mistake on my part.

    First accept the true horror of the situation – then, and only when one has fully understood that one is going to be destroyed, cross the line that Colonel Travis has drawn in the dirt.

    Some people in Northern Japan understood that the “Restoration” of 1868 was nothing of the kind – it was the establishment of a new regime (based upon lies) which would twist and distort Shinto (the traditional religion), crush the people with taxes, violate the traditional rights of Samurai to wear swords, brainwash children with propaganda in the new schools, and conscript the population for unjust, dishonourable, wars of conquest that would (in the end) bring ruin to Japan.

    But what to do? When it is clear how bad the situation is one must pause and express emotion (to clear it out – sorrow and anger for those who had been unjustly killed, and all those that would be unjustly abused and killed in the future) and then become calm again. Make preparations for one’s own destruction – after writing out an examination of one’s errors (in the hopes that others might avoid them – at some future time).

    This was not just men – woman to. Not, mostly, by ritual suicide – but by actual battle (hopeless battle – but still battle). Some women to.

    They were wise – as within a few years the semi official response to the despairing statement “but I can not pay the new taxes” was “then sell your daughters to a brothel” (no I am not making that up).

    Of course (before you point it out) being ready with MODERN WEAPONS and a wiser leadership would have been a better policy. They understood that (there were efforts – but too late).

    There is also the irritation of being defeated by Klaus Schwab, and the head of the World Health Organisation (whose name escapes me) and Peter Daszak and Puppet Biden and certain other people rather closer to home – enemies who deserve no respect.

    Yes, on reflection, it is rather TOO irritating to be defeated by them.

    General Santa Anna in Texas was at least a soldier. And the Satsuma Clan and others behind the new regime established in the late 1860s in Japan, were fine warriors.

    No, again, it is too irritating to be defeated by people like Mr Schwab – some stereotype Bond villain.

    I would rather defeat them – if you have any ideas Mr Ecks, please let me know.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    Paul Marks,

    In the Daily Telegraph there was a signed editorial a few days ago – with signatures from many government leaders around the world, including the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Basically a signed statement that there is an international political agenda to establish a body (modelled on the World Heath Organisation – but with the force of law) that could impose regulations on the world in the name of “health” – specifically “One Health, humans, animals and our planet”. So no real need for messy things like Parliament and elections – although they would carry on, regulations would be enforced by International Treaty, International Law.

    Can you please provide a link to this editorial? I subscribe to the Telegraph and searched their site but cannot find what you refer to…

  • Paul Marks

    Shlomo Maistre – I hoped for some time that it was an April Fool’s joke, but it appears it was real and published on March 31st.

    If you send me an e.mail to paulvmarks@hotmail.com I will send it to you.

    I do not know how to do links.

  • Paul Marks

    I forgot to agree that Bitchute is a best way to get stuff on Covid matters – YouTube keeps censoring things. For example, David Cullen (a man who has never harmed anyone in his life) is banned from YouTube – I do not always agree with him (far from it), but banning him is demented.

    Google (Youtube) and the rest of the establishment have been quite disgraceful on Covid 19 – even medical doctors who have successfully treated hundreds of patients for Covid 19 have been banned (as have organisations such as “America’s Frontline Doctors” – which is also smeared on Wikipedia and so on).

    A medical academic at Harvard or Yale? The establishment will ban you anyway – as soon you say anything against the “narrative”.

    It is hard not to believe that this Covid stuff deliberate – but yes J.P. (and others) it could all be a series of accidents and “group think”.

    I tend to take a rather low view of the motives of people – and I must guard against my own bias when thinking about motives.

  • Shlomo Maistre

    Paul,

    If you send me an e.mail to paulvmarks@hotmail.com I will send it to you.

    Ok, thank you. I emailed you.
