The fall of the mainstream media and some of the biggest lies they told In 2021

Mainstream Media
If the past year has confirmed anything it is that the mainstream media is thoroughly dishonest. Yes, most people already suspected this, but the last 12 months have provided more confirmation than the past several years combined. 2021 has made it clear that the mainstream media is a propaganda arm of political and corporate elitists, from big government to big pharma.

While there have been a few shining examples of independent and mostly unbiased journalism in the MSM, these moments are as rare as Loch Ness Monster sightings and almost as unbelievable. The public has been lied to so consistently that sometimes we ignore legitimate journalism when it pops up because it's safer to assume the media is disingenuous at all times.

I've personally noticed a wash of commercials lately paid for by major legacy media platforms like the New York Times desperately trying to convince the public that they are still relevant. The message is that they are the only "true source" of news information while they beg people to start subscribing and reading their hot garbage once again. Leftist media is crumbling, with online propaganda peddlers and click-bait prostitutes like Buzzfeed and Vox imploding. The lack of profits is obvious and the layoffs have been aggressive.

Britain got it wrong, "Lockdowns aren't a public health policy", says UK's leading epidemiologist interviewed by The Guardian

There was a distinctive moment, at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, that neatly encapsulated the mistakes and confusion of Britain's early efforts to tackle the disease, says Mark Woolhouse. At a No 10 briefing in March 2020, cabinet minister Michael Gove warned the virus did not discriminate. "Everyone is at risk," he announced.

And nothing could be further from the truth, argues Professor Woolhouse, an expert on infectious diseases at Edinburgh University. "I am afraid Gove's statement was simply not true," he says. "In fact, this is a very discriminatory virus. Some people are much more at risk from it than others. People over 75 are an astonishing 10,000 times more at risk than those who are under 15."


Comment: Notably the government admitted it was an untrue statement in its other propaganda messaging by claiming that a 'human shield' was needed to stop 'young people killing their granny'. Moreover, for the vast majority of people were at no risk from the coronavirus, because it is little more than the flu.


Comment: As attested to by doctors and the data coming out of South Africa, that didn't lockdown nor see a significant spike in mortality, Omicron is even more mild than the original coronavirus; it also likely confers the person with a lifetime of natural immunity: And check out SOTT radio's:

At least 10 people injured as demonstrators against Covid measures and police clash in Germany.

A rally against both local and state rules in response to the spread of coronavirus has erupted in the German city of Greiz. It ended with violent clashes, leaving several people injured.

Around 400 protesters took to the streets of Greiz in the German state of Thuringia on Saturday evening, local media reported citing police officials.

Comment: Meanwhile, in Amsterdam they're using attack dogs on the protesters (from RT):
A huge crowd of people opposing the Dutch government's Covid-19 restrictions gathered on Sunday near the National Museum in Amsterdam. The protest, which had been banned by the authorities, quickly descended into violence.

Chaotic scenes unfolded on the streets of the Dutch capital, where police in riot gear sought to disperse thousands of demonstrators who gathered for a prohibited rally at the Museumplein square.


The situation quickly turned violent, with photos and videos on social media showing officers in riot gear clashing with groups of demonstrators attempting to break through the police cordons.

Officers were seen beating protesters with batons and pushing them away, and demonstrators responded by hitting police with their fists, as well as with banners. There have been no reports of injuries so far. At one stage, a drone was deployed, issuing a call for demonstrators to leave the area.
...

A particularly disturbing video circulating on social media shows a protester being mauled by a police dog. The man apparently sought to break through a line of officers with dogs, one of which is seen lunging and biting the man's arm as he struggles to break free. The footage shows two other dogs being controlled by the police.

Ukrainian nationalists paraded in torchlight procession in Kiev with portraits of Hitler ally.

Ukrainian far-right ultra nationalists held a torchlight procession in Kiev on Saturday night, celebrating a controversial WWII-Nazi collaborator. Israeli diplomats said the march "insulted" the memory of the Holocaust.

The activists chanted "Glory" and "Our land" as they marked the birthday of Stepan Bandera, a former leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), which was aligned with Adolf Hitler's Germany.

Jordan Peterson says legacy media in "death spiral," CBC a "near-corpse"

Renowned Canadian author and psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson slammed the CBC and other legacy media in a tweet last week.

"The legacy media are in an unrecoverable death spiral, spinning ever more uncontrollably. The CBC has become a mewling, meandering, self-righteous, slogan-spewing narcissistic near-corpse," said Peterson.


Comment: It would be nice to see Jordan Peterson recognize the fact that the corporate media are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the PTB. This isn't new, it hasn't only come about since Covid and it affects every level of reporting in media.

Several people have been arrested at an international rave in an abandoned Dutch factory with police playing party poopers

Police raided and shut down an illegal rave in the Netherlands on New Year's Day, with the local mayor calling it inappropriate to hold the event as the rest of the country follows strict Covid-19 restrictions.

Officers dressed in riot gear broke up the rave at an abandoned factory in the small town of Rijswijk on Saturday, ordering attendees to leave and seizing equipment and vehicles. At least three people were reportedly arrested for disobeying police orders and driving under the influence.

The event drew a crowd of hundreds - despite the fact that Dutch coronavirus restrictions currently prohibit large events such as concerts and festivals - and attendees allegedly came from as far as France, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

© Dean Musgrove/The Orange County Register, via Associated PressThe release of millions of gallons of untreated sewage into the Dominguez Channel in Carson, Calif., forced the closure of some beaches on Friday.
About eight and a half million gallons of untreated sewage have spilled into a flood-control waterway in Los Angeles County since Thursday afternoon, prompting at least five beaches to close, an official with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts said.

"It is a lot," said Bryan Langpap, a spokesman for the agency. "That's the biggest spill we've ever had."

The spill began after a concrete pipe 48 inches in diameter in Carson, Calif., collapsed. The sewage leaked out of a manhole on 212th Street on Thursday evening and much of Friday, Mr. Langpap said.

Comment: Infrastructure in the US - in many countries in the West, in fact - is aging and has been neglected to the point that any unusual stresses could cause them to fail. Which is even more alarming as extreme weather events are on the rise:

German prosecutors have opened a probe against a Bundeswehr soldier who delivered a video ultimatum to the government demanding it abandon its Covid-19 policies. The man was released after being briefly detained.

A series of video appeals surfaced on social media on Thursday, where a man dressed in military uniform and calling himself "Sergeant Major Oberauer" demanded the government give up on its "crazy anti-constitutional projects." The self-described sergeant was referring to the German government's Covid-19 restrictions, as well as compulsory vaccination for medical workers and Bundeswehr soldiers.

The man then delivered an ultimatum, saying that officials had until Friday to change their ways. "This is a warning," he said in a minute-long clip, adding that "soldiers would be ready for dialogue until 4pm tomorrow." He also accused politicians of betraying Germany's Basic Law and demanded "the constitutional order" be restored.

Authorities swiftly launched a manhunt for the man and, on Thursday evening, police in the southern state of Bavaria said in a statement they arrested a "Bundeswehr soldier" in downtown Munich, who "had publicly called for criminal offenses." His rank or identity have not been made public.

Segregation returns to American schools

Alpha News reported on December 21 that a Minnesota school board unanimously voted to pay black teachers and Native-American teachers more than their white colleagues on no basis other than color - not for merit or seniority or for taking on extra duties. They also voted to segregate staff into separate parts of the school based solely on color.

The story continued:
"The board is chaired by Jodi Sapp, who previously came under fire for requiring concerned parents to dox themselves in order to comment on school matters. Under her leadership, the board voted to amend district policy so that non-white teachers only may receive 'additional stipends' to become mentors to other non-white colleagues. The new policy will also have the district 'placing American Indian educators at sites with other American Indian educators and educators of color at sites with other educators of color.'"
The new meeting rules put in place by Sapp stated that parents or others speaking at board meetings may not identify board members by name or district staff members while speakers must identify themselves with their name and address, and must limit themselves to commenting only on agenda items.

BlackBerry, whose smartphones attracted a devoted following for features like built-in keyboards and high security even as Apple and Google gradually poached its customers, is finally giving up the ghost, the company has revealed.

Any phones or tablets running BlackBerry operating systems "will no longer reliably function" starting January 4, the company declared in a recent press release. That rules out phone calls, texts, data use, SMS connections, or emergency 911 calls.

Specifically, while more recent BlackBerry devices running Android operating systems will continue to function, smartphones and other devices running BlackBerry 7.1 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10, or the company's tablet operating system, BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1, will cease to operate with any degree of reliability.

Perhaps fittingly given that BlackBerry's initial attractions included its comparatively beefy security profile, parent company BlackBerry Limited has switched to selling cybersecurity software and internet of things systems.
