Delingpole: At the anti-lockdown rally I saw the best - and worst - of Britain

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.

That's how it felt at the anti-lockdown rally in Hyde Park, London, yesterday, where I was threatened with a fine and arrest for the crime of doing my job. It's also where I got to see Britain at its best - and worst.

There weren't many protestors but those who were made me proud to be British. We were a very mixed crowd, very representative of the melting pot that London has become - and definitely considerably less white and middle class than the crowd you'd find at an Extinction Rebellion rally.

I met a black working-class couple who were both bus drivers; several smartly dressed, well-spoken elderly people; an American former US diplomat and former Democrat voter; a very distressed French-sounding girl distraught that she'd been harassed by police simply for remaining in the same area for more than 45 minutes; a woman who had grown up in 70s Czechoslavakia and recognised the symptoms of Communism all too easily. There were anti-vaxxers, yes, and people who felt that all the world's current ills could be traced back to Bill Gates, yes. But mostly this was a rally about freedom, where everyone present could not quite believe just how easily so many British people had surrendered willingly to the most flagrant assault on liberty in centuries.

This ought not to be a weird, eccentric thing to want to protest.

Comment: Indeed, we foresee a HUGE wave of protests in the months ahead.

'My job is to make Syria a quagmire for the Russians' - US envoy to Syria confirms CIA doctrine is official policy

Like with the disastrous Iraq quagmire years before the US war machine came to Syria under Obama, Washington's rationale and justification for occupying the Syrian Arab Republic has shifted and changed drastically multiple times over.

When ultimately what started as US covert regime change efforts targeting Assad failed (based ostensibly in "protecting civilians"), the official mission then conveniently switched to 'defeating terrorism' — though of course this meant turning on the very jihadists the US armed and trained in the first place. Then the Kurds became the proxy flavor of the month, which also happened to have control of all the major oil and gas fields in the country's east ("secure the oil!" - Trump has repeatedly echoed of late).

When the Islamic State collapsed and became just another underground insurgency like its al Qaeda cousin, the ever-hawkish national security state establishment argued that Trump must not pull troops out because of 'Iranian expansion'.

Tucker: America is splitting into 2 hemispheres - free states and those still tightening lockdowns

Clueless, incompetent, authoritarian and pathologically controlling Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti

Comment: Considering the generally piss-poor level of reporting we're used to seeing from mainstream news about Covid-19 (or much else) - that the following analysis actually aired is something of a miracle.

The country appears to be splitting into two hemispheres before our eyes: There are those places where public officials are allowing science to guide their decisions; states like that are cautiously beginning to relax their lockdowns and finding no spike in illness as they do it. Those are the free states.

And then there's the other half of the country, the places where you're glad you don't live right now. In those places, power-drunk politicians crow about science but resolutely ignore its findings.

They don't read studies. They don't care what the data say.

Their decisions are driven by ambition, political calculation and the pure animal joy of controlling other people's lives.

Places like that are tightening their lockdowns even now.

The Dengvaxia Disaster Was Twenty Years in the Making—What Will Happen With a Rushed COVID-19 Vaccine?

Editorial by Lyn Redwood, President, Children's Health Defense

Article that follows by the Children's Health Defense Team

Vaccine development is a topic that is on the minds of everyone as the world grapples with ways to protect our health and the health of our loved ones from coronavirus. The team at Children's Health Defense decided to write an article about Dengue Fever because an important part of medicine's body of knowledge comes from the opportunity to learn from past mistakes.

Dengue fever is a common disease in more that 120 countries and, like Coronavirus, has been the target for a vaccine for many years. The development and licensure of Dengvaxia® vaccine by Sanofi spanned more than 20 years and cost more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. But the development of the vaccine turned out to be tricky. Dengue vaccine antibodies can also make the infection worse, especially in infants and children who have never been exposed to the virus. The virus may actually use the antibodies created by the vaccine to spread the virus throughout the body. So an infection with dengue — when your blood already has antibodies in it — can actually enhance the disease resulting in deadly complications.

Air travel won't return to pre-crisis levels until 2023, IATA chief warns

Comment: How long is the lockdown to go on for?

This article provides a clue: airlines have apparently been told it won't end for another two-to-three years, which seems to fit with Bill Gates and friends' Global Mandatory Chip/Vaccine plan...

The impact on air travel from the coronavirus will be felt for many years to come, according to the International Air Transport Association, which estimates that passenger traffic won't rebound to pre-crisis levels until at least 2023.

The trade association for the world's airlines said that demand for air travel had dropped more than 90% in Europe and the U.S. since the start of the pandemic, and warned that recovery will be even slower if lockdowns and travel restrictions are extended.

"We are asking governments to have a phased approach to restart the industry and to fly again," Alexandre de Juniac, the IATA's director general and CEO, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Thursday. De Juniac is hopeful that some flying will resume by the summer.

"We are aiming at reopening and boosting the domestic market by end of the second quarter, and opening the regional or continental markets — such as Europe, North America or Asia-Pacific — by the third quarter, and intercontinental in the fall," he said.

Jeremy Corbyn's brother arrested at London lockdown protest: Government measures are a 'pack of lies'

Piers Corbyn (C), brother of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, is arrested by police officers at an anti-coronavirus lockdown demonstration in Hyde Park in London on May 16, 2020, following an easing of lockdown rules in England during the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

The UK has been on lockdown to slow the spread of coronavirus since 23rd March, with people urged to stay at home as much as possible and many businesses and services shut down temporarily.

The brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been arrested at an anti-lockdown protest in London's Hyde Park.

Photos and videos from the park showed around 40 protesters gathered the morning of 16th May, near world-famous Speaker's Corner at the north-eastern end of the park. Some held banners bearing the slogans "this is not about a virus, this is about control" and "no to the new abnormal".

Comment: Piers is giving voice to the conclusion many are coming to regarding the lockdown. Protecting the public is not the real goal. The death toll bears that out.

Instead of bashing Russia for low COVID death rates West should test more & guess less, scholars say

Having one of the lowest coronavirus-related mortality rates in the world, Russia still lags behind over a dozen countries with near-zero COVID fatality rates. That, however, was good enough to once again land Moscow firmly on the radar of Western mainstream media over its "suspiciously" successful bid to tackle the ongoing pandemic.

"In the past several days there have been news reports in Western media accusing Russia of under-reporting deaths in the country due to the coronavirus epidemic", says Gilbert Doctorow, an independent political analyst based in Brussels. "In particular, I can point to articles in the New York Times and in the Financial Times. With respect to the New York Times, the piquant title given to one respective article pointing to a 'Coronavirus Mystery' - is fully in line with the daily dose of anti-Russian propaganda that this most widely read American newspaper has been carrying on for years now."

Doctorow recollects that "a couple of weeks ago the same paper carried an article by one of its veteran science journalists accusing President Putin of using the coronavirus to undermine American science, and medicine in particular".

Comment: Note the quote from Sott's own Joe Quinn in the above.

Dr. Zach brings his knowledge of viruses, environmental toxicity and diseases to bear on the Covid-19 pandemic, in the process exposing the entire edifice of false assumptions it is built on.

Literally everything the authorities and the media have told you about Covid-19 is wrong. From the death numbers to what this particular virus is to what viruses generally do to why some places saw higher death tolls to what people should do to protect their health to what it all means spiritually... this interview has it all!

"Staggering number" of extra deaths in community unrelated to COVID-19 because people are not getting access to care

Shaun Griffin
British Medical Journal
Fri, 15 May 2020 19:44 UTC

Only a third of the excess deaths seen in the community in England and Wales can be explained by covid-19, new data have shown.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) data,1 which cover deaths in hospitals, care homes, private homes, hospices, and elsewhere, show that 6035 people died as a result of suspected or confirmed covid-19 infection in England and Wales in the week ending 1 May 2020 (where deaths were registered up to 9 May), a decline of 2202 from the previous week.

Although the number of deaths in care homes has fallen for the second week in a row, more covid related deaths are being reported in care homes than in hospitals and are tailing off more slowly.

However, David Spiegelhalter, chair of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge, said that covid-19 did not explain the high number of deaths taking place in the community.

Comment: People who need care are not getting it and are dying as a result of hospital resources being dedicated to the COVID-19 fear pandemic. What happened to the whole thing about not wanting people to die!?

Criminal indictments for Philippine Dengue vaccine includes President of Sanofi Pasteur and their FDA

TrialSite News
Mon, 24 Feb 2020 00:00 UTC

The president of Sanofi Pasteur Inc., along with a former health chief and now politician, Rep Janette Garin have all been indicted by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the Philippines for reckless imprudence, resulting in homicide as a result of the deaths of children associated with the anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia. As a result of an ongoing investigation, government prosecutors found probable cause to file the charges against the named defendants as well as nine unnamed officials from the Department of Health, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. Additional Sanofi Pasteur officials were indicted for violations of the Consumer Act of the Philippines.

Current Situation

Known as the Dengvaxia controversy, there were hundreds of deaths associated with a Philippines Deng immunization program in 2017. The Department of Health there ultimately suspended a school-based vaccine program utilizing French drug maker Sanofi Pasteur's Dengvaxia vaccine due to a number of deaths from various complications that allegedly attributed to the vaccine product. Thereafter, the company went public with a statement that its product, in fact, poses higher risk to people without prior dengue infection. By August 2019, over 600 people, mostly children, who received the vaccine have died. It must be emphasized that not all of these deaths are due to the vaccine itself. Regardless, the DOH banned the vaccine's sale or use in the Philippines.

Comment: Any potential vaccine should mandatorily undergo intense review and the risk factors made public knowledge. Killing the patient is not a preventative solution. Why were these vaccinations allowed to continue if even one recipient died from its dose?

Quote of the Day

State power has its own limits defined by the fact that it is authority that reaches people from outside. State power cannot oversee and dictate the creative states of the soul and mind, the inner states of love, freedom and goodwill. The state cannot demand from its citizens faith, prayer, love, goodness and conviction. It cannot regulate scientific, religious and artistic creation. It should not intervene in moral, family and daily private life, and only when extremely necessary should it impinge on people's economic initiative and creativity.
