'Flattening the curve in order to save lives' argument is dead now if, officially, it was not before already. At least in the UK. This is insane.

Elderly people across the UK are being pressured into signing 'do not resuscitate forms,' aged care organisations have warned.
Age UK said one 85-year-old woman was recently called by her GP and asked to decide whether, should she come down with coronavirus symptoms, she wanted to go to hospital or sign a DNR form.

Following a string of incidents in recent weeks, elderly care charities including Age UK and Independent Age have published an open letter calling for the policy to be abolished in order to protect "people's fundamental human rights".

"Many of the people affected have experienced fear and anxiety, and feel that their lives and wishes do not matter," the letter states.
"This is shameful and unacceptable."
"Whether or not to sign a (DNR) form is an individual's decision, and they have a right to make that decision without feeling pressurised."

Parents of vulnerable and sick children are furious after being asked by GPs to sign Do Not Resuscitate orders if their loved ones catch Covid-19. One shocked mum, Margaret Ates-Suddes, whose 11-year-old son Ilhan has cancer, yesterday branded the life or death request as inhumane. Another enraged mother claims her 16 year-old son was called directly by their GP surgery to ask to consent to a DNR form.

The order instructs medics not to perform CPR if a patient stops breathing or their heart stops.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence had told doctors to assess people with learning disabilities, autism or cerebral palsy on a “clinical frailty scale” meaning some would be denied hospital treatment.

Days later Nice did a U-turn after being challenged by disabled charities but there are concerns about how the guidance is being interpreted by GPs.

Edit: Was anyone talking about saving elderly? 😡
 
Check this out...

Trump as ever, between a rock, a hard place and the media, remains the master of spin...

Now, I may be wrong, but it appears that his dislike of waste in terms of business is guiding his thinking and actions.

-Because aside from boxing with the media, allowing self-importance to pull him into what is essentially a comment section grudge match with a bunch of stubborn wishful thinkers.., -and which I have to admit I'm not nearly evolved enough yet to find unamusing... (the fallout among the MSM is well summed up by a slightly cabin-fevered Tim Pool, the second video in this post), it also appears to me that Trump is taking the official narrative and forcing it, through its own rules, to conclude with, "Re-Opening the Country."

That's the very first I've heard anybody talk about such a thing.
(Honestly.., where have you last heard anybody even bring up the idea?), and yet there it is introduced as an important theme, not just a floated notion, but apparently a definite goal toward which he and his team are taking real steps. It sounds close. And here's the thing which only after thinking about it for a while, crept up and struck me: The media didn't fight it! (Distracted by the cheek slaps to their own egos? Like fish, they failed to notice it, like water.)

I can't tell if that was a genius move or just another in an ever growing line of statistically improbable lucky blunders.

The Big Fizzle is apparently Orange.


The above video is long; it's the whole press conference, so you might need to skip around. I personally watched until everybody's favorite and least-favorite carnival barker left the podium. If you had told me five years ago that I'd actually become an honest fan, rooting for Donald Freakin' Trump, I'd not have believed you for a hot second.

We live in strange times indeed!

Anyway, here's Tim's summation of the press response, (which is also priceless):

 
I'm about 15 pages behind but I wanted to share a public announcement/commercial that I saw on a regular network channel. I don't usually watch network channels, but this announcement/commercial alarmed me. There was no music or person speaking, it just had the following words on the screen:

IF WE DONT STAY HOME
5 PEOPLE YOU KNOW COULD LOOSE THEIR LIVES,
YOUR KID'S SCHOOL TEACHER
YOUR NEIGHBOR
YOUR TEAMMATE
YOUR BARISTA
YOUR DOCTOR
YOUR HAIR STYLIST
YOUR FRIEND
YOUR GRANDMOTHER
YOUR UNCLE
YOUR SISTER
YOUR MOTHER
YOUR STEP BROTHER
YOUR PARTNER
YOUR CHILD
DON'T ACCIDENTALLY KILL SOMEONE
STAY HOME.
SAVE LIVES

All this followed by the State Stamp Of Oregon.

I thought this was outrageous fear porn + virtue signaling on steroids. Especially since the same week I saw this ad, a co-worker's grandfather had passed because they discontinued his cancer treatment due to Covid-19 hysteria. As usual the hospital was empty but the only person allowed to visit was wife. Now, I'm sure the hospital staff are very caring people and this directive came from above and their hands tied. But I'm trying to figure out why the PTB are so desperate to isolate everyone to the point of not allowing family visit while someone is dying.
 

Excerpt:

Washington (AFP) - President Donald Trump announced Tuesday a suspension of US funding to the World Health Organization because he said it had covered up the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak in China before it spread around the world.
...

Trump's attack on the WHO reflects his belief that the organization is biased toward China and colluded to prevent the United States' main economic rival from having to be open about the unfolding health disaster.

He says this cost other countries crucial time to prepare and delayed decisions to stop international travel.

"The WHO's attack on travel restrictions put political correctness above life-saving measures," he said.

"Had the WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out China's lack of transparency, the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death," he said.

[end excerpt]

I'm not sure I need to comment. Trump is sure on a roll!
 
I have a track record for dealing with hysterical people.
She went from shouting like a mad woman, to tears in her eyes because, finally someone saw her and was reassuring her despite the circumstances.
They can't afford anything alternative, just whatever is covered by health care. Benzos are super cheap. Melatonin costs them several euros
I don't think is going to get any better.

I read this description and the image of sharp teeth feasting on energy comes to mind... Between that suffering and the chemical dullness (and later addiction) of the benzos you see a lot of sheep that are going to have their skin removed. And I'm not being pessimistic. I just see the image with such clarity... The mandatory confinement allows for it. This is a harvest.
 
I was cleaning unwanted files on my computer last night and came across this article, don't know when or where I found this article but here it is in its entirety. I am now wondering how can sovereign and independent countries take orders from the WHO??? If this article is correct, the WHO is not what it appears or pretends to be, it is simply working for BIG PHARMA for big bucks and also the Chinese, and we now see what is going on with all the lockdowns especially in Europe the governments are themselves also complicit in this Covid-19 crime against humanity. All this for money.

WHO Scientists Corruption Scandals Appear Endemic By F. William Engdahl
Author of Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order 1-11-10


The much-touted threat of an H1N1 Pandemic flu fades in the mildest flu season on record, and governments are left sitting on millions of dollars of stocks of vaccines. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will begin an official investigation into evidence of scandalous corruption relationships in the new "Golden Triangle" of the global drugs industry-WHO, its scientific academic 'advisors' of SAGE, and the pharma drugs industry, yet new confirmations of the extent of official corruption are emerging.

Further information of official WHO corruption has emerged as people begin to look more closely at the unelected officials wielding so much power over our health.

According to WHO's official declaration on conflicts of interest, its official scientific advisory body, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE), are obliged to inform on all kinds of financial research support, scholarships, payment for collaboration and sponsor support for the research unit, during the past three years.

Now, despite a WHO pledge of transparency in publishing the ties of its members or advisors to the pharma industry, a Danish Freedom of Information Act request by Louise Voller & Kristian Villesen for the Danish daily newspaper Information has confirmed that the newest member of the elite SAGE, Finnish Professor Juhani Eskola, an advisor managed not to reveal the fact that his Finnish research laboratory, THL, a WHO research center, got 6.3 million Euros (about $9 million) from swine flu vaccine maker, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in 2009. GSK produces the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, 'Pandemix' which the Finnish and many other governments, following the recommendations of THL and WHO, purchased in large volumes as a national pandemic reserve.

The Finnish Minister of Health has become involved in the Eskola case and has asked for transparency concerning the researcher's financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. However, Professor Eskola doesn't agree that there is a problem. He secures and protects his 'WHO' status, by offering a minor 'consultative payment' to the pharmaceutical company, Novartis.

The GSK money is the THL lab's largest income source. Questioned about the obvious conflict of interest in the appointment of Eskola to "objectively" advise WHO on vaccines, Eskola admits, "We are aware that there appears to be a conflict interest."

'Mr Flu' and the stench of corruption

Eskola is part of a much more pervasive corruption in the scientific advisors of WHO. The scientist perhaps most influential in the vaccine decisions of WHO since the outbreak of SARS in Asia and Avian Flu several years ago is Holland's Professor Albert Osterhaus. Known as 'Mr Flu' for his enormous influence over WHO and other flu decisions, Osterhaus lost his shine recently when the Dutch Parliament was forced to investigate Osterhaus' ties to the pharma industry.

Osterhaus, of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam Holland has been named by Dutch media researchers as the person at the center of the worldwide Swine Flu H1N1 Influenza A 2009 pandemic hysteria. Not only is Osterhaus the connecting person in an international network that has been described as the Pharma Mafia, he is THE key advisor to WHO on influenza and is intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in vaccines allegedly aimed at H1N1.

Osterhaus's credentials and expertise in his field were not in question. What is in question, according to a short report published by the journal Science, are his links to corporate interests that stand to potentially profit from the swine flu pandemic. Science carried the following brief note in its October 16 2009 issue about Osterhaus:

" For the past 6 months, one could barely switch on the television in the Netherlands without seeing the face of famed virus hunter Albert Osterhaus talking about the swine flu pandemic. Or so it has seemed. Osterhaus, who runs an internationally renowned virus lab at Erasmus Medical Center, has been Mr. Flu. But last week, his reputation took a nosedive after it was alleged that he has been stoking pandemic fears to promote his own business interests in vaccine development. Last week, his reputation took a nosedive after it was alleged that he has been stoking pandemic fears to promote his own business interests in vaccine development. As Science went to press, the Dutch House of Representatives had even slated an emergency debate about the matter."

Albert Osterhaus is no small player. He stands at the global nexus of every major virus panic of the past decade from the mysterious SARS deaths in HongKong, where current WHO Director Margaret Chan got her start in her career as a local health official. According to his official bio at the European Commission, Osterhaus was engaged in April 2003, at the height of the panic over SARS (Severe Acquired Respiratory Syndrome) in investigation of the Hong Kong outbreak of respiratory illnesses. The EU report states, "he again showed his skill at moving fast to tackle a serious problem. Within three weeks he had proved that the disease was caused by a newly discovered coronavirus that resides in civet cats, other carnivorous animals or bats."

Then Osterhaus moved on as SARS cases vanished from view, this time publicizing dangers of what he claimed was H5N1 Avian Flu. In 1997 he had already began sounding the alarm following the death in Hong Kong of a three-year-old who Osterhaus learned had had direct contact with birds. Osterhaus went into high gear lobbying across Holland and Europe claiming that a deadly new mutation of avian flu had jumped to humans and that drastic measures were required. He claimed to be the first scientist in the world to show that H5N1 could be transferred into humans.

In a BBC interview in October 2005 on the danger of Avian Flu, Osterhaus declared, "if the virus manages indeed to, to mutate itself in such a way that it can transmit from human to human, then we have a completely different situation, we might be at the start of the pandemic." He added, "there is a real chance that this virus could be trafficked by the birds all the way to Europe. There is a real risk, but nobody can estimate the risk at this moment, because we haven't done the experiments." It never did manage to mutate, but he was ready to "do the experiments," presumably for a hefty fee.

To bolster his frightening pandemic scenario, Osterhaus and his lab assistants in Rotterdam began assiduously assembling and freezing samples of, well, bird shit, in an attempt to build a more scientific argument. He claimed that at certain times of the year up to 30% of all European birds acted as carriers of the deadly avian virus, H5N1. He also claimed that farmers working with hens and chickens were then exposed. Osterhaus briefed journalists who dutifully noted his alarm. Politicians were alerted. He wrote papers proposing that the far away deaths in Asia from what he termed H5N1 were coming to Europe, presumably on the wongs or in the innards of deadly sick infected birds. He claimed that migratory birds were carrying the deadly new disease as far west as Germany's Baltic island, Rügen, Croatia and Ukraine. He conveniently ignored the fact that birds do not migrate east to west but rather north to south.

Osterhaus' Avian Flu alarm campaign really took off in 2003 when a Dutch veterinary doctor became ill and died. Osterhaus claimed the death was from H5N1. He convinced the Dutch government to order slaughter of millions of chickens. Yet no other infected persons died from the alleged H5N1. Osterhaus claimed that that was simply proof of the effectiveness of the preemptive slaughter campaign.

Osterhaus claimed that bird feces were the source, via air bombardment or droppings, onto populations and birds below. That was the vehicle for the spread of the deadly new Asian strain of H5N1 he insisted.

There was only one problem with the now voluminous frozen samples of diverse bird excrement he and his associates had collected and frozen at his institute. There was not one single confirmed example of H5N1 virus found in any of his samples. At a May 2006 Congress of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), Osterhaus and his Erasmus colleagues were forced to admit that in testing 100,000 samples of their assiduously saved bird feces, they had discovered not one single case of H5N1 virus.

At a WHO conference in Verona in 2008 titled "Avian influenza at the Human-Animal Interface," in a presentation to scientific colleagues undoubtedly less impressed by appeals to pandemic emotion than the non-scientific public, Osterhaus admitted that "A proper risk assessment of H5N1 as the cause of a new pandemic cannot be made with the currently available information." By then, however, his sights were already firmly on other possible pandemic triggers to focus his vaccination activities.

A Mexican outbreak of a strange disease rapidly became swine flu, the now-famous H1N1 Influenza A of 2009 and 'Mr Flu' was once more at the forefront sounding the alarm at WHO.

Tip of a big, big iceberg

The financial ties of Eskola and Osterhaus to the pharma industry that stands to gain from their scientific recommendations to WHO is but the tip of a big, big iceberg.

The following list of WHO researchers, prepared by Information, name more scientists reported to have financial ties to Big Pharma, suggesting the entire WHO system is systematically corrupt:

*Dr. Peter Figueroa, Professor in the Department of Community Health and Psychiatry in Jamaica, has received money from Merck.

*Dr. Neil Ferguson has received funding from Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline, and Roche, as well as from some insurance companies *Professor Malik Peiris in Hong Kong has received money from Baxter GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi Pasteur.

*Dr. Arnold Monto, advisor to Chiron, GlaxoSmithKline, MedImmune, Roche, Novartis, Baxter and Sanofi Pasteur, has received funding from same.

*Dr. Friedrich Hayden, consultant to MedImmune and Sanofi Pasteur, received money from those companies, in addition to Roche, RW Johnson, and SmithKline Beecham.

*'Dr Flu' Prof. Albert Osterhaus has received money from Baxter, Crucell, Novartis, Hoffman-La Roche, MedImmune, Nobilon, Sanofi Pasteur, MSD, GlaxoSmithKline, and Solvay.

The WHO is in the powerful position of reviewing and making vaccine recommendations to the world.

Changing the definition of Pandemic

In an interview with Der Spiegel magazine in Germany, epidemiologist Dr. Tom Jefferson of the Cochrane Collaboration, an organization of independent scientists evaluating all flu related studies, noted the implications of the privatization of WHO and the commercialization of health:

Jefferson: "one of the extraordinary features of this influenza -- and the whole influenza saga -- is that there are some people who make predictions year after year, and they get worse and worse. None of them so far have come about, and these people are still there making these predictions. For example, what happened with the bird flu, which was supposed to kill us all? Nothing. But that doesn't stop these people from always making their predictions. Sometimes you get the feeling that there is a whole industry almost waiting for a pandemic to occur.

SPIEGEL: Who do you mean? The World Health Organization (WHO)?

Jefferson: The WHO and public health officials, virologists and the pharmaceutical companies. They've built this machine around the impending pandemic. And there's a lot of money involved, and influence, and careers, and entire institutions! And all it took was one of these influenza viruses to mutate to start the machine grinding…

When asked if the WHO had deliberately declared the Pandemic Emergency in order to create a huge market for H1N1 vaccines and drugs, Jefferson replied,

"Don't you think there's something noteworthy about the fact that the WHO has changed its definition of pandemic? The old definition was a new virus, which went around quickly, for which you didn't have immunity, and which created a high morbidity and mortality rate. Now the last two have been dropped, and that's how swine flu has been categorized as a pandemic."

Conveniently enough, the WHO published the new Pandemic definition in April 2009 just in time to allow WHO, on advice of SAGE and others like Albert "Dr Flu" Osterhaus and David Salisbury, to declare the mild cases of flu dubbed H1N1 Influenza A to be declared Pandemic Emergency.

Pandemic declaration automatically activates countless national emergency preparations including mandatory stockpiling of vaccines, vaccines supplied, of course, by the same pharmaceutical companies pouring money into the advisors of WHO. For them the new "Golden Triangle" is perhaps even more lucrative than the Asian Golden Triangle of drugs in the 1960's Vietnam War era. And so far it's all legal to boot.

I am getting worried
I thing all of us can relate to your feeling. Let me just say that whatever you pick from the world affairs, be it children starving to death, being kidnapped for ritual and experimental purpose, from wars to slavery and domestic violence... all this is so horrible that the WHO being a tool for psychopaths who want to rule the world is actually just another thing fitting in the picture. A terrible, horrifying picture but... we have not come to live in these times to break down.

There's no time for fear now. Yes, the immediate future looks bleak but this networking group is a lighthouse so you always know that in the middle of all this madness there definitely is something to live for and something what we can build a better future on and around. Don't let the bacon stop dancing! :bacon::hug2:
 
I am not so pessimistic. The fact is that all the pathological deviants were already in place before this show started. The difference is that they have now dropped the masks and shown their true nature for all to see. The massive economic and social harm not to mention the mental and physical health problems that these draconian measures have caused and continue to cause will be to their disadvantage. They have overplayed their hand and there will be a very strong backlash from this. Tensions are building and building below the surface and the more storm troopers and goons they send on to the streets, the greater the anger.

They will not be able to get the genie back in the bottle. The memory of who caused the hardship that people are suffering now and will be suffering for a long time will be remembered as the truth leaks out. United in suffering comes to mind, but that unitedness will also be what the rulers fear the most as they have tried to divide people for decades and not least since 9/11 The division has been a consequence of the destruction of the social fabric, the nuclear family and Christianity in the last century and then turbocharged with postmodernism, SJW and identity politics. As with everything, things go to an extreme after which the pendulum starts going in the other direction. Much pain and suffering will unfold but the balance will be shifting.

Yes, as bad as things (may) get, the backlash will be spectacular! But I for one am pretty tired of all this corona virus crap. In fact, I think Monty Python summed all of this up eloquently many years ago:

"Graham Chapman: I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

All: Yes, yes...

Graham Chapman: I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

Not Sure?: Mrs. Havoc-Jones.

Mrs. Havoc-Jones: Well, I meet a lot of people and I'm convinced that the vast majority of wrongthinking people are right."
 
Here is just one good example of someone on the alternative media sphere who usually is pretty much right on the money, but lost the plot here. There are many that have fallen for it in the alternative media landscape.

John Pilger starts of by responding to the question „Can we trust our governments in what they say to us about Corona Virus?“ emphatically by saying „No we can‘t; absolutely not!“ and then goes on a long winding excursion of believing the official narrative, never even coming close to the idea that they are essentially using a nothing burger for establishing a global tyranny. Essentially proclaiming that they haven’t done enough and weren’t good prepared for the „pandemic“.

Whether he's from controlled oposition and now showing his real face ? Or he believes in the main story ? No one here has a direct contact with him ?

I am getting worried
Hi Alain, let this pass out and even more enjoy your time with your relatives.
One example i experienced today : my brother went to my mother with one of his children to work in the garden and mow the lawn. I joined them, thus we were 4, all working outside. Since 2y I try to re-unite the 3 brothers during one week-end during spring or summer, working together during the day and finishing with a barbecue and a fire, inviting some neighbours (at least this is how i see it ^^). And the good thing I learned today is that as there's the confinment, my brother can't play his yearly tennis interclub which take all his week-ends, and he mentionned that yes, my idea could then become possible !

There are many positive opportunities at this moment, you just have to open your eyes and select. Do not spend your time on thinking about potential bad outputs of what is going on worldwide, sure, inform about, but keep a neutral stance about. It's better at this moment to concentrate on you and your direct environment/relatives, maybe to send a mail to an old friend, or family member, you could maybe be surprised sometimes. Keep the faith and also the :-)
 
This was apparently originally filmed in 2014, an interview with Harry Vox - investigative journalist.

Transcript of the first 40 seconds of the video:

“The ruling establishment will stop at nothing to complete their toolkit of control. So one of the things that has been missing from the toolkit has been quarantines and curfews. Now, welcome to the New World in America where to get on a bus or a subway station….if you think that the procedures at the TSA are onerous, this is coming to a bus depot near you. It’s a more invasive way and the ruling class needs this because if the ruling class ever saw widespread civil unrest you would see an ebola outbreak in America.

 
I have a feeling for myself, but it can also be wrong. As long as I watch Putin, his actions have been , never exaggerated. Russia has only a minor problem of 21,000 infections and 170 deaths with Corona - provided the numbers are correct. Suddenly Putin begins to get on the rails of the Europeans and USA purely rhetorically. Somehow I think he's playing a game just like Trump. What if both had decided something together? The evolution and the end of entropy. It would be an ingenious way to take the wind out of the deep state and sanctionists in the name of humanity. If both publicly announce that it is time to stop trade wars, sanctions, wars, and social imbalance, they would take the wind out of the counterpower. Who should dare to insist in the current situation on measures that harm the poor peoples even more. Perhaps an ingenious move by the two with unprecedented good consequences for the world. But maybe I'm just dreaming ...

But are Putin and Trump really humanitarians, or are they psychopaths wearing "masks of sanity" who will lead the effort to institute the One World Order after the coming chaos? I have no doubt that Russia will play a huge part in the next economic system; they have positioned themselves very well to lead politically and economically, as well as China. But do they plan to truly serve humanity, or some higher negative STS heirarchy agendas?

After every past transition from one reserve currency "host" to another, after the chaos of war and prolonged periods of global extreme tension and hardship, the new "host" always initially let the cattle out of the barn to enjoy some fresh air and green grass. But make no mistake, the entire time the cattle were outside they were still branded and slaughtered, and there was an electric fence to keep them penned. Will it be different this time? Or will the new bosses be just like the old bosses?

The new economic system will seem like heaven at first, especially when compared to the one we are now exiting. There will probably a repudiation of all former debts (a "debt jubilee"), and then some small largess will be shared among the masses in order to get them to "buy in" to the new system - which this time is designed to be digital. How long will this honeymoon period last? Are the same families and banks at the top in charge of it all? If so, don't we deserve better? Such a system won't leave us any more free than any other; we will just have a new bunch of psychopaths at the top waiting until it's time for dinner.

All of that said, there is this:


_______________________________________________________________________________
"The scientist’s name (Tesla) undoubtedly rings a bell, as John G. Trump was the uncle of the 45th U.S. president, Donald J. Trump. The younger brother of Trump’s father, Fred, he helped design X-ray machines that greatly helped cancer patients and worked on radar research for the Allies during World War II. Donald Trump himself cited his uncle’s credentials often during his presidential campaign. “My uncle used to tell me about nuclear before nuclear was nuclear,” he once told an interviewer.

At the time, the FBI pointed to Dr. Trump’s report as evidence that Tesla’s vaunted “Death Ray” particle beam weapon didn’t exist, outside of rumors and speculation. But in fact, the U.S. government itself was split in its response to Tesla’s technology. "
____________________________________________________________________________________

Has anyone ever researched the claims that Donald Trump's uncle held some of Nicola Tesla's patents? I did a search and there seems to be a lot of corroborating information.

I ask because if this is true, then it *may* be possible that Trump is sitting on technology that truly COULD help bring in a "Golden Age", if free energy is a real thing and it were released to the common man for constructive purposes. That, to me, would indeed qualify as "FREEDOM!!"

In that case, could it be possible that Trump and Putin and the "White Hats" really do have this in mind? Because if so, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have such people lead as stewards while people get their feet under themselves, learn the real truths of reality, and then LEAD THEMSELVES!!

Or, is this - as I fearfully wonder - all just more, "wishful thinking?"
