There are no pandemics, yet German journalist Paul Schreyer documents decades of rehearsals of pandemics.

https://youtu.be/d3WUv5SV5Hg

Honestly, there is no benign interpretation of this activity at all. Pretending there’s a pandemic is going to kill a lot of fragile people. This is well known.

We can rule out money as the primary motive because those who put it into effect must have had the authority of those who create money in central & private banks. Money has been a lubricant but war creates plenty of money. A pandemic is a messy method for accomplishing things they do much more efficiently by other means.

I claim that they must have had authorization because what happened shut down half the world and was very disruptive for the owners, not only for us peons.

Now we need another motive.

Even early on I ruled out gross control because they had that already.

This left control at the level of the individual as the only thing that made any sense.

Sure enough, there was early talk of digital ID, vaccine passports, cashless CBDC, not to mention The Great Reset. It’s not like they hid it.

And the pretended need for a response to the global climate boiling change nonsense is another course of action that leads inevitably to mass graves. Have you seen how nitrogenous fertiliser is made?

You might want to take into account that though I didn’t & still don’t predict numbers, because we don’t have sufficient information to do that, I did predict toxicity from the injections.

This started happening the first day of mass administration and never got better.

No one has even attempted a rebuttal of my detailed claims about the injections that have been public for almost four years. If I was wrong, a hundred scientists would have humiliated me in every format. If I was wrong, all the companies I’ve maligned would have sought & got injunctions against me. Neither have happened.

Instead, I’m censored like crazy and also smeared (less so nowadays than in the early years, I suspect because they’ve realised it’s best to draw no attention to me at all).

They’ve even messed with the search result algorithms in the main browsers. I’m flattered but offer this as yet more proof that I’m correct.

I’ve been formally certain this was intentional since Dec 1 2020, but I knew it in my bones much earlier than that. There’s no benign interpretation of what’s been done.

There’s no bloody pandemic either.

And it’s impossible anyway to make a complex medical product in under a year, literally impossible.

At this point I am incredulous that a well informed person comes up with any alternative explanation for the past five years that doesn’t involve totalitarian digital control and mass murder.

You underestimate how much power there is in who controls the world's currency and who controls such inventions as the petrodollar.

This is not simply a matter of "money" but it entails control of pretty much all the planet's resources, all trade, all energy, all national and international contracts and on and on.

As you certainly know there is an extraordinary difference between money and capital.

Schreyer certainly lays it out and did so early on- though he barely scratched the surface.

I didn’t discount the power of controlling money. Indeed, it’s the dominant source of the organising power at work via secret societies down the centuries and into today.

My point in mentioning it was to claim that those atop this mess aren’t doing it because it’ll make them more money.

One effect that’s very important to them is to deprive us of ours, because that’s a good way to prevent us just ignoring them.

Carbon trading has been invented, I think, to substitute for the loss of the petrodollar and maintain, in the same hands, financial extortion and control of the global energy economy.

Got links?

Expand full comment

For the carbon trading comment? No, because the topic is complicated and not my field. But thinking about who will administer the carbon trading mechanisms it looks a safe bet that it will be the same people who run the global financial systems now and who have benefitted from the dollars reserve status, and these are the same people who are pushing this trading system onto the global stage.

And they are the same people who are behind lockdowns and the "pandemic."

These degenerates do not care for the environment, they never have...so why do they want this?

You could look into this further but it will be a lot of work You could see if Catherine Austin Fitts has posted on this.

I think you are right Mike. Digital control certainly. Mass murder by intention at this stage not so sure. I don't see how mass murder - which clearly happened - this early on would benefit them. Of course once they had got full digital control then they could do anything they may wish. If the so called vaccines had been less deadly and injurious they might have got to digital control quicker. So I think, on balance, they made a mistake. The stuff was too dangerous and that upset their plan. Also - hopefully - it will make their second attempt much harder. For me, ironically, the very deadliness of the so called vaccines, from a global future point of view, might just have been - viewed in this way - a good thing.

Agreed. They’ve only killed of the order of 30 million additional over normal death rates, according to the group of Denis Rancourt. Thus far. No one but the perpetrators know what fraction of the multiply jabbed are yet to die earlier than they otherwise would.

Do please note that if this was just about money, they could have injected 5-6 billion people with medical saline.

Expand full comment

Wasn't Denis Rancourts assessment of 30.9 million a figure assessed up until the end of 2022? That is 2022....not a typo.. That is now almost 2 years ago now and people don't seem to have stopped dropping from this and cancers are mushrooming I believe. The figure now must be much much higher but who is tracking it? Very few and most efforts go into covering the data up and / or censoring it.

Expand full comment

I don’t monitor the latest estimates but yes, upwards is inevitable, though it seems there are few to no people particularly interested in the number.

Tens of millions of innocent people have been murdered. Mistakes Were Not Made. There’s precious little outrage about it, to the point I wonder why I’m bothering to show that it cannot be other than intentionally done. If people dismiss the arguments of a 30y+ veteran, I’m done.

I know. It must be immensely frustrating for you knowing what you do and having worked in that environment. I too have been unable to return to work in the NHS as to me it would be like working with an unhinged serial axe murderer who I cannot trust one inch. I guess it's a similar frustration that many of us had from the start in being unable to persuade anyone who couldn't see it themselves that none of this added up and that what was known pointed to very serious nefarious intent. Assessing the numbers of deaths and their causes is now an almost insurmountable task when the controllers of the stats are actively working against us, down playing and lying about the numbers. Denis Rancourts approach seems the most viable one but still relies to some extent on official data sources and as such his figures are lagging indicators by years. We can't even be sure about the figures officially given for how many people do populate the earth. I have a now former very lefty friend who also sought to invoke cock up theory for just about anything that didn't make sense including 9/11. This virus / contagion / vaccine paradigm has been set up over decades and centuries and as you say, mistakes were not made and absolutely none of this was a cock up or a bit of incompetance accidentally leading to exponential levels of stupidity and fraud. When people revert back to trying to explain this as a cock up one really has to wonder at their intellect, motivations and reasons for doing so.

Yes, I have wondered about the latest statistics. Few people seem to be continuing with this analysis. I dont know to what extent this is because the official statistics can no longer be trusted owing to modifications in counting methods.

Please note that early batches of the jabs varies radically in their toxicity. That’s intentional. If it wasn’t, they’d have pulled the most extreme batches & that happened once, for one batch in one location.

It’s also not possible to have the observed degree of variation in toxicity as a result of some random walk process in manufacturing. That might move things a few %. We were seeing orders of magnitude variation in toxicity between batches. It cannot be inadvertent.

There was no pathogen. Therefore nothing to “vaccinate” against. Using saline would have been safe. Injecting intentionally harmful chemicals unquestionably occurred.

What the ultimate goal is on population, I don’t know.

The perpetrators are eugenicists.

“What the ultimate goal is on population, I don’t know.”

I agree with this and I suspect most of those ‘in the know’ probably don’t have much idea what the ultimate goals are either…. but to quote from a meme ‘the dots are practically connecting themselves at this point’ and I think that is also true!

artificial wombs are said to be only 20 years away

a robot labour force is almost upon us

the masses are becoming far too empowered by the internet and their ability to bypass the MSM

the technocrats have openly expressed their desire to replace most of nature with artificial, synthetic, technological substitutes

transhumanism is official government policy these days, based on their own published documents

infertility, pregnancy complications, still births etc are off the scale since 2021 and everyone is playing dumb as to what the cause might be

depopulation has been openly promoted as necessary by the WEF, UN, Bill Gates, Boris Johnson and his father, plus there is the Gates-Eugenics connection

you can’t open a magazine or turn on the BBC without coming across some peppy feature on why having no kids is the future, how childless people are ‘living the dream’ and why having babies is now an affront to nature itself

some have speculated that the LNPs will degrade the ovaries of girls born to vaxxed mothers today, making them infertile in 20 years time - which is also when artificial wombs are set to be rolled out

male/ female gender are being erased from language, culture and the legal system with a suspicious sense of urgency … and replaced by non binary/ gender queer identities and associated ‘queer everything’ culture which (one cannot help noticing) is much more suitable for a largely sterile population.

1. A couple of thoughts on why their motives appear puzzling or less than clear:

(1) Different cliques have differing motives

(2) They're mentally ill and themselves lack a clear vision

On (1), let me just add that Denis Rancourt's idea of this being a quasi-military exercise in context of geopolitical conflicts does make some sense, and the same idea is promoted by the former chief of military of Croatia, Admiral (ret'd) Domazet. In the pattern of events, he has recognized a textbook example of a psy-op to psychologically condition the populaces to a wartime mentality. So they don't make trouble when the chronic systemic crisis escalate.

You might object to this because how, then, China... That's a huge topic, for another time.

Of course, the situation is practically a Rorschach test: everyone sees through concepts already present in their mind.

On (2): We would potentially make a fallacy to assume that extraordinary and unjust powers necessarily mean clarity of vision, or even sanity, let alone ease of manipulation. When we look at everyday situation of absolute dominance wielded over another creature, we can see that the motive to kill, the sadism, can be present without a thought-out scheme or worldview.

2. On the injections :

As far as I can tell, you've never commented on the claims of Stefano Scoglio that his efforts to ascertain the existence of the "spike protein" have left him empty-handed, and with a conclusion it's just one more fiction.

Different batches having different toxicities: _Some_ of the lines of argument that it is so have been found by Rancourt to be flawed. However there were many such arguments. Being on the fence on this.

Lastly, let me use this opportunity to point out a tension, and a potential self-contradiction:

The idea that a small group of microscopic organisms can cause a disease in a human organism is seen by many of us as nonsense. On the other hand, the idea that a small group of dedicated individuals can wreck a human civilization? Bang on the money, no need for discussion!

I said I was having trouble getting past the introduction which was sticking in my throat. It doesn't really does it because it doesn't conclude anything much. It rambles through a surface veneer of what many of us have known as basics for years and years and just glances off some slightly risque hypotheses.. It took a long long time and a lot of text while still missing out a mass of the most important evidence to not quite say what I said in two and a half lines. When are people going to grab the bull by the horns and actually state the bleeding obvious? It's 23 years since the 9/11 operation and nearly 5 years since the covid operation started.

The term "conspiracy theory" is a comfort blanket that the indoctrinated have been trained to parrot. Once uttered it allows the un-inquiring mind to slip back into uninformed ignorance.

The Covid Heist was and is a global conspiracy by the world's transnational ruling class that was planned out and war-gamed at the WEF, the central bankers summit in Jackson Hole, and at Event 201.

A careful look at the timeline over the past 20 plus years illustrates how everything has been put in place and the context for why this was done.

It’s all right there for anyone to look up and see for themselves. It is about radically transforming every aspect of society in response to the final crisis of the global financial system that is in the late stages of total collapse.

No longer profitable or sustainable, transitioning to a new digital financial control system, implementing the technologies of the so-called 4th Industrial Revolution, and exterminating and sterilizing broad swathes of the “useless eaters” and now-surplus labor/population and "burdensome pensioners" is seen as imperative by the financial parasites who control the system and see their empires crumbling.

What is Covid?

A label to cover up the unprecedented pauperization of nations and thievery of national treasuries (largest upwards wealth transfer in the history of history) and psychological warfare aimed at instigating chaos to cover up eugenics and transgenic agendas and massive social crimes against people.

The ideology is not dead.

But this is only the general context of a global class war which In fact spans many regional/thematic fronts and many specific battlefields where different forms and kinds of enemy fight against people on behalf of elites using different weapons of mass confusion, distraction and destruction.

The COVID escalation spans across political fronts, economic fronts, financial fronts, cultural, social fronts and while many characterized them quite well too many bought idea of living in post-ideological era (right, center, left) that supposedly changed nature of this class war.

In fact this class war is an extreme ideological war to re-engineer society, its attitudes, its values and all human bonds.

What the purveyors of the WEF/4IR etc. are peddling is a radical ideological revolution, a brutal socioeconomic reset.

The deliberate discontinuity of about 200 years of social development is what we are witnessing today- a war waged by elites who desire a return back to neo-feudalism and who wish to impose a form of slavery within their dystopian technocratic society.

The purpose of such a society is not like in the past, simply limited to labor contribution to the plantation system and its profits, but setting up people to become 24/7 social machines devoid of any other purpose or end but to fulfill the ad hoc systemic needs of the society of technocratic control.

In fact such new ideological transformation forms the central front of The Global Reset offensive under the guise of an imminent threat of some deadly medical calamity (COVID) or some global disaster (war on carbon aka global warming).

The Covid scare was the circuit breaker to usher in this new form of totalitarian control- a phony global health event rather than a phony "terror" event was the means that were used this time.

Anyone who thinks we got here by accident is an ignorant fool.

“…. It is about radically transforming every aspect of society in response to the final crisis of the global financial system that is in the late stages of total collapse.…”

Agreed. The level of Global ‘debt’ is now at a level where it is becoming increasingly difficult to put in minor tweaks to prevent a catastrophic event collapsing the whole financial system and destroying parity. The 2008 collapse was merely a prelude.

The obvious answer is therefore a total ‘Reset’. Part of that reset will be the introduction of Digital Currency, which will not only offer the Cartel control of the ‘money’ supply but, as it will be easier to move the dials on the World financial system, enable greater responsiveness to ensure stability of the system.

Unfortunately, by subverting the whole notion of value, I.e. the ‘pound / dollar in your pocket’, Digital Currency will change our sense and understanding of what money is. This will make it easier for us to be led to a point where “we will own

nothing and we will be happy”.

Absolutely. Please note that we didn’t drift into unpayable debt. It’s been actively Wargamed and made to happen by global movements in industrial production over the last half century, and continues today with corrupt government tax and spending policies.

Yes. Over many years there has been no responsible management of the global economy or financial system. It is an extortion racket for asset stripping, plunder and war. These are the same people who conceal their actions to manipulate us using words like "the environment" and "care for the planet."

The enormity of their lies make it hard to see the true nature of these degenerates.

In future we must find a way of running a decentralised economic system that does not systematically feed wealth, power and control up to the top. Barter, maybe? Or get rid of usury? Usury always was forbidden in Xnty and still is for Islam

There is more than enough evidence to conclude that the COVID scamdemic was planned, coordinated and callously executed by a conspiracy of corporations. For example, Dr. Mike Yeadon explains very clearly that the spike protein was designed for maximum harm and bizarrely, the same protein design was used by multiple pharmaceutical corporations, which proves collusion...

THEY will be conducting another scamdemic to terrorise their victims into giving up on cash, as it will be framed as the vector of spread. Then , BINGO!!! THEY will have a monopoly on (worthless) Central Bank Digital Currencies with which to control the world's population and force people into their assigned 15 Minute Ghettos.

Yes, we're facing a very dystopian, lawless future, if people don't recognise the warning signs quickly enough.

I've written and published over 25 books on this "No Pandemic" subject. There was no pandemic. The social scientists, propagandists, indoctrinators and the media colluded with the government and corporations to increase their wealth by taking ours. Megalomania is self-destructive but not before destroying everything else. I'm 69. Rearranging the deck chairs without any wood is going to be difficult at some point in the future.

This was no playground copycatting doing what your neighbouring countries are doing, it was coordinated. All with the same political rhetoric, to incite fear and in many cases panic and hysteria. Insane harmful measures mandated if not forced onto people, cutting health and social and other essential services during a time of supposed need, politicians crying out for china style tactics to be forced onto people. Populations were treated to humiliating rituals to even move about in public spaces, mandated testing in many areas like hospitals, travelling, at work and in education to "prove" you were free and pure from the "deadly virus" What can be put down to murmuration can also be put down to a coordinated, deliberate intent to exert power and control over populations as part of future plans. "But can it really be true that there is a malevolent group of Bilderberger Billionaires sitting on enormous black leather chairs, stroking Persian cats and planning a Great Satanic Reset?" I don't have a clue who is sitting on the black leather chairs but I do know what the outwards signs of this 2020 farce is telling me and it is not that mistakes were made or every country was copying each other like mischievous schoolboys.

My pleasure. Actually it should be 'a murder of crows'. This is interesting because the Jesuits are called 'crows' due to black garb. Given the Jesuits role in the RC Church and the current pope being a Jesuit this is significant.

Corvidae is the generic name for crows, ravens, rooks etc. They are omnivorous and will eat carrion.

NB Covid is carnivorous as 'coronavirus' is the one word anagram.

https://baldmichael.substack.com/p/coronavirus-is-it-really-a-monster?utm_source=publication-search

Corvidae anagrams to 'are covid'. This is why the scavengers have been gathering in this crazy covid time. I like to think of them as a combination of crows and rooks.

That is crooks!!!

P.S. Nowadays it is not so much a 'murder of crows' but a 'murder of cows' as vaccines derive from the Latin 'vacca' a cow.

But you no doubt knew that. :)

Planned event in my opinion. Along with the 'education' that has preceded it to have the bulk of the population believe in an overpopulation problem, catastrophic man made global warming and contagious deadly respiratory viruses among other things. The primary strategy for controlling the masses is based on emotional manipulation. Guilt, fear and anger being the main ones used to encourage us to go along with their plans and destroy everyone that says otherwise. Waking up to that emotional manipulation is the main problem of the times we are in. https://www.daragrennie.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Book-Light-Love-Laws-Lies-Nov-2021-Edition.pdf

The pandemic response was not an unguided emergent response of many humans, it was guided by a few humans. Willbourn's six human tendencies explain WHY the incentive structures put in place by the few humans worked so well to make many other humans behave in ways that the few humans found useful to their purpose. By now we are all aware of elaborate pandemic planning exercises that have taken place around the world since at least Dark Winter in the summer of 2001.

Expand full comment

"We do not know what a starling thinks, if anything"... despite being a Starling, I am one of those that Dr Willbourn would describe as being on the edge of the flock (though he should have used the word murmuration to stick with his theme).

The mechanisms that Dr Willbourn describes are probably all (mostly) valid to describe how the murmuration behaved in response to certain 'set moves' by others. Yes, there was collective delusion (https://reaction.life/western-political-leadership-has-been-captured-by-uncritical-thinking-and-collective-delusion/); yes, mistakes were made; yes, there was herd thinking; yes, greedy people had their snouts in the trough; yes, there was egregious 'nudging' by authorities (https://www.hartgroup.org/5-questions-for-nudgers/).

But given Dr Willbourn's helpful discourse, does it not show how easy it was for shadowy outfits to deceive? Imagine the metaphorical murmuration, and imagine if you could project just three relatively small Peregrine Falcon holograms to the South, West and East? Would the murmuration not likely head North?

This demonstrates the futility of the argument that "the situation was so complex that no guiding hand could be behind the conspiracy". There very much could have been, as the guiding hand had no intention of micro-managing individual moves if it just wanted the overall murmuration to move in a certain direction.

I put to you, therefore, that naming respiratory disease in early 2020 was a specific plan to move the populace towards embracing a certain medical intervention. Much of the rest - lockdowns or not, masks or not, etc - was just noise. I have outlined this in more detail here: https://dailysceptic.org/2023/03/18/it-was-a-vaccine-strategy-from-the-start/.

The question then is, is that it? Probably not. I would encourage people to consider what and who is pushing the 'net zero' agenda, and how and why the 'CO2 is bad' trope has survived all these decades despite the opposite being true (reader: it is plant food and has very, very little to do with climate change), and the proponents of this trope being continually wrong in all their forecasts and predictions?

Well, look up what certain supra-national organisations were writing back in 1992...

"Air and water are simply no longer the "free goods" that economists once assumed. They must be redefined as property rights so that they can be efficienily allocated. lt is self-evident that the allocation of these scarce but vitally important resources will be a major problem of the twenty-first century and beyond. Population growth and further industrialization of the planet assure this. These simple facts make it essential for research to continue as rapidly as possible so that we can implement market solutions to the highly critical environmental problems facing us."

And this, stated already back in 1992!

I would recommend the writings of EscapeKey here: https://escapekey.substack.com/p/combating-global-warming

So in summary, good essay by Dr Willbourn, but it covers mechanism rather than anything much more than that.

Where do we go from here? Society does not seem to have the checks and balances to avoid terrible things happening, either due to random chance or due to bad people projecting metaphorical Peregrine Falcons to nudge the murmuration. CS Lewis wrote of the importance of the Tao, the immutable rights and wrongs that any civilisation or society can divine, regardless of underlying religion or worldview. His seminal critique of the horrors of institutionalised bureaucracy - the not very N.I.C.E. evils - outlined in That Hideous Strength and The Abolition of Man can be juxtaposed with the wholesome learning gleaned from reading about the likes of Squirrel Nutkin - throughout his life, he would return to The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin to reawaken a joy: "in this experience also there was the same surprise and same sense of incalculable importance".

Entities with a soul can tell the difference between right and wrong; governments and bureaucracies cannot necessarily do the same. If we get to a point where individual agency is extinguished by the bureaucracy, then it is game over. Extending the squirrel analogy to a recent example, perhaps consider the fate of Peanut the Squirrel as described by https://ratsays.substack.com/p/peanut-the-squirrel:

"Without going into metaphysics or attempting to discuss the inner workings of it, a SOUL is what gives you the ability to face hard choices, to act on incomplete information, to err, and to get better over time.

The government does none of that. It executes a program built of myriad often conflicting rules and regulations, feeding the program falsehoods and speculation. Garbage in, random violence out.

You’ll never have the perfect laws or perfect rules, no matter how many you write. Better look for humans who do not bail when confronted with hard choices, who have the will and willingness to to ignore the programming when their souls tell them to".
