In March, it was just a three-week lockdown, to flatten the curve so as not to overwhelm the NHS. The narrative has quickly evolved. It has progressed from what seemed a reasonable idea of keeping NHS bed space free based on the completely false Neil Fergusson prediction that hospitals would be overwhelmed by patients suffering from COVID19.
This
never happened. Many weeks passed where face masks were not needed and then
suddenly in July, long after the majority of supposed COVID19 deaths had
occurred, face masks were made compulsory.
Indeed,
the UK government advice from the likes of Chris Whitty and the World Health
Organisation was that face masks were not effective in stopping the spread of
COVID19 or in contracting it; science does not change that quick – anyone who
tells you otherwise is a liar.
The
result is that we have now fallen deep into a Covidian Cult, a totalitarian
psychotic narrative that has little connection to reality or to the facts.
The
opposition to official government narratives regarding Covid19 are well known.
I will not bother again telling you what is already known or can be readily
ascertained.
Suffice
to say, one just needs to type into Google “The Great Barrington Declaration”
or ACU2020, where one can read about the doctors, scientists and lawyers who
are opposing multi-governmental COVID19 restrictions and laws of social
distancing, lockdown, mandatory/coerced consent to vaccines, and mandatory face
masks, amongst other things.
Their
essential argument, contra the multi-government policy on COVID19, is that
virus is not the danger we are being told it is; the data on COVID19 is clear:
we do not need to lockdown society, wreck the economy, or frighten people into
death as they are scared to leave home for fear of catching COVID19 or seek
medical treatment for non-COVID19 illness, which has happened.
Specifically,
many doctors and scientists argue that face masks are not protective and could
be very harmful. Dr Jay Bhattacharya, a signatory of the Great Barrington
Declaration, which 40,000 medical, public health scientists and medical
practitioners have signed, said that the use of face masks are not supported in
the scientific literature. There is no randomised data to indicate if they are
effective in reducing the spread of COVID19.
Indeed,
face masks have no effectiveness in the spread of influenza. This is backed up
by the fact that social distancing and face masks have not made a difference on
yearly rate of influenza deaths in the UK.
On the
15th October 2020 the stark reality that we are being led by a psychotic
Covidian cult narrative became even more evident; Nicola Sturgeon, the First
Minister of Scotland, announced with great glee that couples marrying would no
longer have to wear face masks when tying the knot. Of course, the Priest,
Vicar, or Registrar etc conducting the ceremonies never had to wear a mask to
conduct the marriage ceremony. What kind of political leader would impose on
couples, who for all intent and purposes will be living together and spending
the night together after the wedding, have to wear a mask during their wedding
ceremony? Would a mask be required for the happy couple to consummate their
marriage on their wedding night?
This
ridiculous face mask rule imposed by Nicola Sturgeon shows quite clearly the
dark side of Scottish politics. It is ridiculous because Nicola Sturgeon (as
well as all the other MSP’s and Holyrood staff) has met many people from other
households indoors in parliament (before and after face masks were imposed),
whilst at the same time continually telling the masses that they cannot meet
people from other households indoors. One rule for me, one for thee.
The
paranoid fuelled COVID19 rules delivered by Sturgeon on a daily basis during
the week and even reiterated on her twitter account on a frequent basis, and
the blatant inconsistent and illogical nature of these rules, are not meant to
console or comfort the masses. No, they are a deliberate attempt to
disorientate and control the minds of the masses.
Cult
leaders do this to their followers to short circuit their critical thinking.
Cult leaders will also change the rules or the narrative at a whim for no
apparent reason. Hence the change of now being able to get married without a
face mask, even though the COVID19 restrictions are being tightened again all
over the UK; it makes no sense, its not meant to, and the masses are meant to
follow, not question and obey.
Cult
leaders want to make the masses follow chaos.
This kind
behaviour is equally applicable to the realm of BDSM (bondage, domination,
sado-masochism) or the Master-Slave dialectic. In the world of BDSM, a master
or mistress will impose illogical rules, but demand to be obeyed. As a slave in
BDSM scenario might say, “Mistress is correct even when
Mistress is wrong”.
This
forms the basis for a human subject becoming an object, of becoming alienated
from themselves. This logical structure underpins the dictates from politicians
in relation to COVID19 restrictions. The blatant flaunting of the dictates by
the likes of Catherine Calderwood, Neil Fergusson, Dominic Cummings, Margaret
Ferrier (and the many more we have not heard about yet) is testament to the
fact that they don’t really take this COVID19 restrictions all that seriously.
This
abusive objectification and alienation are what totalitarians and cult leaders
want to achieve and impose on their followers. Initiation rituals like mask
wearing (especially when getting married) and social distancing, attack a
person with terror, pain, humiliation and subjugation. Of course, anyone who
has been in an abusive relationship will tell you that pointless rituals or
behaviours are demanded by the abusive and sadistic abusive partner to wear the
other person down.
As is so
often found in cults and individuals in abusive relationships, the cult members
or abused partner will even go to great lengths to defend the cult leader’s
demands or the person who abuses them. In our current predicament, this is
highly ironic as the Scottish government have recently introduced psychological
abuse as a crime.
This
abusive dialectic that is playing out between the UK government/Scottish
government/devolved assemblies and the masses might explain why so many people
cannot perceive the totalitarianism that is being inflicted upon them right in
front of them, or right on their faces in the guise of masks and up till
recently masked up in front of the alter getting married.
The
problem we have is this: people generally find it very difficult to recognise
the delusional nature of a totalitarian master narrative. One case in point was
Nazi Germany; cognitive dissonance was a prevalent characteristic of people
during these times. People who cannot see the totalitarian moves made upon them
are not ignorant or unintelligent; they have been initiated into a cult through
the methods of initiation, chaos, confusion and the short circuiting of
critical thinking.
We are
being initiated and conditioned for a future way of life where there will be no
return to normality, and it has nothing to do with a virus. This is why
children are being socially distanced in schools, are made to wear masks in
certain contexts, are treated like bio-hazards by their teachers and are
frightened half to death by being made to obsessively wash their hands multiple
times a day with an abrasive hand sanitiser.
Drawing
on psychoanalytic thought, such directives pushed onto children will ensure
that many children will grow up to be socially anxious and fearful of social
interaction. It begs belief that the Adverse Childhood Experiences “movement”
(ACEs) in Scotland are utterly silent about the harms being committed upon
children as a result of these scientifically challengeable COVID19 restrictions
and rules.
As the
Centre for Disease Control state, the survival rate estimates for people aged
0-19 years for COVID19 is 99.997%, 20-49 years is 99.98%, 50-69 years 99.5%,
and 70 years+ 94.6% respectively. And now we have a casedemic where the rates
of false positives (89%-94% of positives potentially false) and the PCR test
does not even test for COVID19 (See ACU, 2020). Of course, the politicians
ignore the fact that the PCR test was never intended to be a diagnostic
instrument to be used to inform public health policy, never mind mandate it.
The
culture of deindividuation that the totalitarian abusive cult-like rituals of
social distancing, mask wearing and not being able to meet people freely is
also primed to be ramped up even further; Nicola Sturgeon has stated that she
is considering face masks to be compulsory even in outside spaces-seven months
into this COVID19 nightmare-another illogical and ridiculous idea with no basis
in science.
We are
now entering a precarious tipping point; not from the virus, but from
deindividuated members of the cult slavishly following these new rules and not
challenging the wearing of masks outside. No doubt the “nudging” from the
Government will work a treat on the masses
This is
because the UK and Scottish governments are manipulating, coercing and
frightening us into following the rules and shaming us when we don’t. The UK
and Scottish Governments are using applied behavioural psychology, breaking the
ethical guidelines for psychologists, to deliberately ramp up fear in the
population. A group of psychologists called Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group
on Behaviours (SPI-B) of SAGE have been tasked with advising the UK and
Scottish Governments how to get people to adhere to COVID 19 restrictions.
From
their document which is freely available on the UK Government website,
it is written:
A
substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally
threatened.”
And:
The
perceived level of personal threat needs to be increased among those who are
complacent, using hard-hitting emotional messaging.”
The
psychologists of SPI-B and the UK government knew fear alone would not be
enough. Therefore, SPI-B suggested to government to use and promote social
approval for desired behaviours, to consider enacting legislation to compel
required behaviours, and to consider the use of social disapproval for failure
to comply.
They have
used the Mainstream Media and Social media, along with false fact-checking and
censorship to get their message across and it has been working.
The
tactics of the SPI-B psychologists informing UK and Scottish Governments’
policies on the COVID19 response are in my opinion contrary to the ethical and
practice guidelines of The British Psychological Society (BPS); the psychology
equivalent of the Hippocratic oath for medicine.
The
mainstream media are silent on these unethical practices of deliberately
ramping up people’s sense of personal threat, creating a culture of feeling
shame to follow COVID19 regulations and encouraging people to shame others for
not following regulations. From the reports of several mental health charities,
UK and Scottish Government reports, mental ill-health is in a crisis because of
the COVID19 response/measures.
Suicide
risk factors have undoubtedly been hugely multiplied (house repossessions,
unemployment, poverty and stress etc); when the official figures are completed,
I have no doubt that there will have been, and there will be to come, many
suicides because of the COVID19 lockdown and associated measures.
Our
political leaders, despite their lip service to mental health, are aware of the
mental health and suicide crisis that now engulfs us, yet they proceed onwards
with the COVID19 agenda regardless complicit in more psychological abuse being
foisted upon people, knowing full well that this will cause untold misery.
Vladimir
Bukovsky, a Soviet dissident who was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital
(enforced incarceration for political dissidents) described well our current
predicament:
The
peculiar features of the Soviet political system, the Communist ideology, the
uncertainties and difficulties of the science of psychiatry, the labyrinths of
the human conscience-all these have weirdly woven themselves together to create
a monstrous phenomenon, the use of medicine against man.”
Forward from Russia’s political hospitals, 1977 (S. Bloch and P.
Reddaway) by Vladimir Bukovsky.
Like the
Soviet Union today the monstrous phenomenon is again the use of science and
medicine against the masses by many Governments in the battle against COVID19.
Not only do our political leaders want to “keep us safe until a vaccine” but
they seem to want to destroy the economy, create huge unemployment and destroy
businesses. They also want to monitor our every move and impose restrictions on
work, travel and social and family life.
There
will be no end to this nightmare; there never is an end when one is in an
abusive relationship. The goalposts always keep moving. The victim is broken
down until they can offer no resistance.
Indeed,
Bill Gates recently indicated that even if we get a vaccine for COVID19, there
will be no return to normal as it will probably take a second or third
generation vaccine to get us back to normal. Of course, we know full well, when
we get that second or third generation vaccine, it will not herald a return to
the old normal.
Unfortunately,
at the moment there is not enough people (especially politicians and mainstream
media journalists) with the necessary courage to call out the tyranny and call
out the abuser. Historically this has also been a problem; politically and
within an abusive context (e.g., the victim finds great difficulty calling out
their abuser). In a critical remark and warning to the West, Alexander
Solzhenitsyn said in his Harvard address in 1973:
A
decline in courage may be the most striking feature which an outside observer
notices in the West in our days. The Western world has lost its civil courage,
both as a whole and separately, in each country, each government, each political
party, and, of course, in the United Nations…..Should one (have to) point out
that from ancient times declining courage has been considered the beginning of
the end?”
Is this
Scotland’s beginning of the end? Will the masses start to wake up to the
dictatorial and totalitarian measures? Only time will tell. It might be too
late. If it is the end, just don’t say you didn’t see it coming or nobody told
you.
There is
hope. We can learn from history and enact that famous dictum after World War
II; it should never happen again. Perhaps our politicians should mediate upon
the Nuremberg Code of guidelines for determining what constitutes a war crime
and UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights Article 6.
Nuremberg
Code:
1.
The voluntary consent of the human subject
is absolutely essential.
2.
The experiment should be such as to yield
fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or
means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.
3.
The experiment should be so designed and
based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural
history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated
results will justify the performance of the experiment.
4.
The experiment should be so conducted as to
avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.
5.
No experiment should be conducted where
there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will
occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians
also serve as subjects.
6.
The degree of risk to be taken should never
exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be
solved by the experiment.
7.
Proper preparations should be made and
adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even
remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
8.
The experiment should be conducted only by
scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should
be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage
in the experiment.
9.
During the course of the experiment the
human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has
reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems
to him to be impossible.
10.
During the course of the experiment the
scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage,
if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith,
superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the
experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the
experimental subject.
UNESCO
Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights: Article 6 – Consent
1.
Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic
medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and
informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The
consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the
person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or
prejudice.
2.
Scientific research should only be carried
out with the prior, free, express and informed consent of the person concerned.
The information should be adequate, provided in a comprehensible form and
should include modalities for withdrawal of consent. Consent may be withdrawn
by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without any disadvantage
or prejudice. Exceptions to this principle should be made only in accordance
with ethical and legal standards adopted by States, consistent with the
principles and provisions set out in this Declaration, in particular in Article
27, and international human rights law.
3.
In appropriate cases of research carried
out on a group of persons or a community, additional agreement of the legal
representatives of the group or community concerned may be sought. In no case
should a collective community agreement or the consent of a community leader or
other authority substitute for an individual’s informed consent.
The
Nuremberg Code and UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights
Article 6 make for sobering reading when it comes to governmental mandates or
ideas in the pipeline regarding COVID19.
Just
think of face masks (especially for children), social distancing, travel
restrictions, work restrictions, immunity passports and ideas about giving
people a rushed out unlicensed vaccine for COVID19 (which will be indemnified)
which has not been assessed for the long-term side effects.
The
cult-like nature of the Brave New Normal that is COVID19 is insidiously
pervading more and more aspects of our lives, with seemingly less and less
science to back it up, and curiously being seen by those in power as an
opportunity to reshape our society, not for our good, but for the good of those
in power.
Perhaps
we should all think about what all this means for us, our children, our
grandchildren and democracy in the UK and wider world.
