What an exciting time that was, right? With the pan-banging and the curve-flattening and the Spirit of the Blitz living on. Good times.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's team decided to honour the occasion by slapping themselves on the back:
Needless to say, this is revisionism of the highest order. To quote my favourite reply, it's the "gaslightiest gaslight I've ever been gaslit by".
The furlough system did not "save the economy". The economy was not saved. Rather, it was laid out on a stone table and slowly flayed with a sharpened flint.
We are all still living with the consequences of lockdown, not just in the UK but globally. The world over, hundreds of millions of people have been plunged into extreme poverty by so-called "anti-Covid measures".
Billions more are worse off, paying more for almost every product and service, and struggling in general.
It's important to remember this was the point.
As we wrote in our piece addressing Covid revisionism last year:
The poverty, the depression, despair. The shuttered stores and closed hospitals and bankrupt businesses. They were all predictable, and all deliberate. They knew that's what would happen...that's what it was for. That's why "Covid" was invented. Lockdown was not a policy mistake, it was a policy success.Lockdowns killed more people than they saved. Lockdowns doubled global child poverty.
Lockdown doesn't work, it never worked and it wasn't supposed to work.
And the only thing more nauseating than the anti-human trolls pushing it at the time, are the same anti-human trolls re-writing history since, claiming lockdowns were a mistake or a panic reaction, or that no one could have known how much damage they would do.
As we wrote in our piece marking Lockdown's first birthday:
Too often soft language in the media talks about "misjudgments" or "mistakes" or "incompetence". Supposed critics claim the government "panicked" or "over-reacted". That is nonsense. The easiest, cheesiest excuse that has ever existed.Lockdown was not a policy mistake it was murder.
"Whoops", they say, with an emphatic shrug and shit-eating grin "I guess we done messed up!". Unflattering, but better than the truth.
Because the truth is that the government isn't mistaken or scared or stupid...they are malign. And dishonest. And cruel.
All the suffering of lockdown was entirely predictable and deliberately imposed. For reasons that have nothing to do with helping people and everything to do with controlling them.
It's been more than apparent for most of the last fifty-two weeks that the agenda of lockdown was not public health, but laying the groundwork for the "new normal" and "the great reset".
A series of programmes designed to completely undercut civil liberties all across the world, reversing decades (if not centuries) of social progress. A re-feudalisation of society, with the 99% cheerfully taking up their peasant smocks "to protect the vulnerable", whilst the elite proselytise about the worth of rules they happily admit do not apply to them.
This revisionism isn't just about protecting reputations or saving face, of course, but about establishing a couple of important new "truths":
- Lockdowns are responsible for post-Covid excess deaths, NOT the experimental "vaccines".
- Lockdowns were so bad that we need to do anything we can to avoid using them for the next pandemic, including vaccine mandates and quarantine camps.
Either way, it's a policy which realised its goal.
Massive unemployment. Massive misery. Massive state-overreach. Normalizing Orwellian police raids for private actions on private property, increasing snitch culture, and promoting fear and resentment of your neighbours.
Drugs, depression, suicide up. Prosperity happiness and freedom down.
And most importantly, they now know they can get away with it. They wanted to see what we would do, and for the most part the answer was "nothing".
It was a test, and most people failed.
As I wrote two days before lockdown was announced in 2020:
"Special powers" don't go away. They are not temporary, they won't be surrendered. Everything we give the government our permission to do, they will do. For the foreseeable.And now CBDCs and edible insects and 15 minute cities are on the way. They will continue to do what they want, because they think we'll continue to let them.
Hopefully, next time, we'll prove them wrong.

Once you are awake, you shall remain awake eternally.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.’
But maybe I am not interpreting as intended? You say For me, surviving is mere existence and a lack of meaning ... e.g. when I was young, I worked all the time, just to buy a little food and a roof, just so I could continue to survive one more day. And for me, the decision to LIVE was intertwined with a desire to follow the will of my creator, and to put everything I am into this lifetime so I NEVER have to repeat it Because throughout the process, YES, suffering exists ... whether you are surviving or living to the best of your ability in this plain of suffering ... but despite the suffering, you can also glimpse the past beauty even in the remnants of what was a beautiful land now utterly under siege with biotech, so I take no solace in the struggle that only exists because evil, too, has existed since the creation of adamic race. I suppose I see no valor in struggle, just the inevitability of it here in the 3d.
The more you give up material possesions the more free will I have find. If you distillate it down to good equipment, clean living, good food, exercise, rest & hang out with animals namely DOGS, it becomes a worthy endeavor. Not much sacrifice really once you find the sweet spots of living right.
The more materialism/consumerism the more Amor Fati I found & less free will. Nietzsche had it right but is often misunderstood. He hated the State & exposed them big time. Jung knew but he was an insider, not against the Demiurge per se & just revealed the Alchemy of dark - light.
Nietzsche was different in that he predicted & saw the collapse of Western Civilization - Society so he gave us the Ubermensch as an antidote for those that can see. I understand Nitzsche very well & agree with his Ubermensch concept. I made my adjustments from my lessons/husks/sheds/molts/pain/suffering & adapted to accept it with far less suffering but more for an understanding what it is.
Once you figure out who plays the Trimurti/Triune role of GAOTU aka Zurvan/Chonubis/Chronos/Saturn/Abraxas/Sabazios/Isis/Horus/Set is it becomes easier. The trick is to figure out who that trimurti/triune god is & who plays it as the architects (GAOTU) of the matrix.
I prefer the discipline of knowledge to the anarchy of ignorance.

In my area of south western Ontario the authorities do not have sufficient enforcement power to make another lockdown or anything else stick. Local police officers will not undertake enforcement orders. They live here with their families. Folks can rally quickly to any point.
They can't do it again. They've shot their wad. If they tried another lockdown the resistance would be fierce and prepared. The economic effects, in a recession, would be too much. While Russia and China bear down. Every election puts the regime in peril. In the last analysis, regular folks will in their myriad of ways drag the whole business down. You can't herd cats.
Always, with a prosperous Russia, the most powerful military power on the planet. And it is a fact of power that so many Russians turned out to vote and then of them for Putin. Now, with this terrorist attack all of russia is united. Behind the govenment. Behind Putin. and this is an extraordinary power that is seldome seen so clearly. and the rest of the world sees this power and unity and credits it. They look at the election and political affairs in the U.S. and draw conclusions.
Russia is united. China is united. The west is weak, divided, paralyzed, gullible, stupid, drugged, going down hard. Everybody sees this. after a time it may become a self fulfilling prophecy. But, it will be due to momentum, a reality.
Religions say think about what theoretically happens to you after lockdowns happen (perhaps eighty years later).
Dissidents say wait for other dissidents (or perhaps even aliens) to save you.
Followers say the universe has rules and everything will be fine.
I don't believe there is any alternative to what I've outlined above, and it's no wonder that next time, the same thing will absolutely happen, but worse.
oh...that Lockdown, the one where I (as others - inc government personnel) continued much as normal as the masses hid behind their curtains, drinking their furlough money while awaiting their evening fix of fear news.
Idiots.
plain and simple.
Average age of someone who died, from Covid, 82.5 years old and with four other morbidities.
I.e. This was a cull of the older generation. Those who knew the lies used previously to march the young off to wars.
May I point out the obvious. Pfizer bought the drug company and patent to manufacture this cancer drug, which killed 100% of those that took it! Covid was yet another created virus to destroy humanity, which thankfully killed only the old and infirm. Baxter’s, one of two pharmaceutical companies who predicted five hundred % increases in profit. All they did was put live vaccine into bird flu injections. Create the panic, and made a fortune. The lesson here, the dead don’t talk, and compensation for the dead, is restricted!
what you think Americans dream of fulfilling their greed would not go to these excesses? Just look at Israeli genocide of Palestinians, fully supported by American officials, legal political and officials employed as administrators, and all Zionists! Palestinian only need to die, starved to death, with Americans help, slaughtered with American bombs. Men women and children, in the Gaza concentration camp, alluding to the concentration camps in WW2, in Poland Germany etc….. all run by Zionists! Zionists as the do now in Ukraine, Syrian war stopped by Russia. Iraqi government stymied by American Zionists refusal to get out.
It is effing pointless to provide further proof on this - you either know already, or you are fearful of admitting what is obvious, or you are an effing worthless dimwit.
If you know already, but are pretending you don't - I send holy hell ruthless upon your soul direct - you are the worst.
If you are fearful of admitting what is obvious I tell you direct - you are complicit in this crime evident.
If you are an effing worthless dimwit then there is nothing more to say than that.
