Escaping the Global Digital Prison

caged bird
By the time most people work out that the last 18 months was nothing to do with keeping people safe from a virus, and everything to do with a Global Technocratic Elite hyping a virus they themselves created in order to destroy the existing socioeconomic order & usher in a Dystopian Transhumanist Tyranny, the Global Technocratic Elite will have destroyed the existing socioeconomic order & ushered in a Dystopian Transhumanist Tyranny.

To be fair to the Global Technocratic Elite, they have done their best to lay more clues than you can shake a stick at for us to see what this is really about. You know, like forbidding healthy people from leaving their homes because of a virus with an Infection Fatality Rate of 0.15-0.23%; like insisting people wear useless bits of cloth over their respiratory passages on the basis of no scientific evidence; like using a test which cannot diagnose the Covid-19 illness apparently to tell people who aren't ill that they're ill with the Covid-19 illness; like injecting people with an entirely experimental toxin-inducing product with no long-term safety data, for an illness that most people have significantly less than 0.05% chance of dying from; like insisting we'll need evidence of our 'vaccination' status on a digital passport, despite the fact that the 'vaccines' don't stop transmission. That sort of thing.

Never before in the course of human history have so many been duped by so few into believing they must submit to measures and restrictions which strip them of their freedom to live like normal human beings, apparently in order to gain the freedom to live like normal human beings. Didn't they get the memo? The one which says you don't get freedoms back from tyrants after you just handed them over — not without years of blood, sweat and tears. There is a deep naivety embedded in people throughout the Western world, whereby the constant notion of progress, progress, progress has blinded many to the reality that evil really does still exist, and evil on an industrial scale really wasn't defeated for good with the fall of Berlin in 1945, or the Soviet Union in 1991.

NHS draws up plans to vaccinate 12-year-olds WITHOUT needing parental consent

vaccine
The NHS has drawn up plans to start vaccinating 12-year-olds from the first week schools go back, The Telegraph can reveal. Health officials have said children would not need parental consent under the schools jabs programme.

NHS trusts were told on Wednesday to prepare for the possible rollout of a 12 to 15-year-old healthy child vaccination programme beginning on Sept 6. Emails seen by The Telegraph, sent by NHS England's regional offices, say trusts must have plans ready by 4pm on Friday.

The timetable - with the first jabs administered in less than two weeks time - has been drawn up despite the fact the Government's advisers have so far not recommended such a rollout.

The Department of Health on Wednesday night insisted a decision to roll out jabs has not been taken. Until now, the Government's vaccine advisers have said there is insufficient data to support such a rollout.

Russia will always be a part of Europe, so it's high time for relations to improve, Austrian foreign minister tells Moscow's envoy

Austria's top diplomat has warned ties between Moscow and the EU have hit historic lows and argued that both sides now need to urgently work to turn things around and form a partnership, given the importance of economic relations.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday following talks with his Russian counterpart, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg lamented the dismal state of bilateral affairs. "It is painful to realize that relations between the EU and Russia have hit their worst point at the moment," he said.

"The gap between the West and the East has deepened more and more recently, and this cannot be and should not be in our interests," Schallenberg added, while reiterating that Vienna has major differences with Moscow over issues like the jailing of opposition figure Alexey Navalny. However, according to him, Russia is a part of the reality of Europe and will continue to be, so a rapprochement with the EU should be a key priority.

Don't invest in Ukraine, says Estonian president, warns the courts are corrupt

Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid has courted controversy in Ukraine, using an interview marking the anniversary of the country's independence to slam its institutions and argue Kiev is not yet a dependable place for investment.

Speaking to local news outlet European Truth on Monday, after her attendance at the 'Crimean Platform' conference, the leader of the Baltic nation revealed that she "advises Estonians not to invest in Ukraine." In her view, foreigners should "trade with Ukraine, but do not invest there" because "you may lose your investment" and be unable to recoup losses due to corruption and legal malpractice.

According to Kaljulaid, "we have already had cases when our people lost property here. And even after receiving an arbitration award in their favor, they were unable to regain their property."

Comment: Whilst the West will feign support when Ukraine does its bidding, throwing a couple of hundred million dollars its way to sweeten the deal, clearly its own interests comes first and it won't hesitate to admit the country is a liability. So we see yet again Ukraine is suffering the reality of what it is to be a vassal of the West, and Ukrainians must be both embarrassed as well as terrified for the future of their country:

SCOTUS 'Remain in Mexico' ruling marks latest immigration defeat for Biden administration

US Supreme Court
The 6-3 decision means the Biden administration will re-implement the Trump-era policy

The Supreme Court's ruling late Tuesday, which ordered the Biden administration to reinstate the Trump-era Remain-in-Mexico policy, marks the latest legal defeat for the administration on the subject of immigration.

In a 6-3 decision, the court denied a request to stop a federal court ruling ordering the administration to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols - which has become known as "Remain-in-Mexico" - a major 2019 border security program that kept migrants in Mexico as they awaited their hearings.

Biden began dismantling MPP shortly after entering office, and formally ended it in June, one of a number of moves the administration made to reverse President Donald Trump's border policies. Texas and Missouri sued, arguing that the ending of the policy in June was both harmful to their states and in breach of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).

Mark Carney and the strategic reality of the collapsing Trans-Atlantic system

Mark Carney

UN Special Envoy on Climate Action Mark Carney
The uncomfortable fact which too many commentators tend to run away from out of fear, ignorance or intellectual dishonesty, is that the world financial system is sitting on the verge of a global financial meltdown of a $1.2 quadrillion derivatives time bomb which former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King stated in September 2019 is on the verge of "financial Armageddon". This grim reality was known long before the COVID pandemic was launched during October 2019's Event 201.

It is this oncoming financial meltdown that underlies the war drive against China which certain western geopoliticans fear will shape the new system which they sought to control. France's Bruno Lemaire laid out this fear in the most candid way in July 2019 when he said "unless we are able to reinvent Bretton Woods, The New Silk Roads might become the new world order".

So what role does Canada play in this and how does this affect the shakeup in the current Canadian government now moving into a snap election on September 20, 2021? Why would Chrystia Freeland, a Rhodes Scholar more proficient in regime change than banking, be given the reigns of Canada's economic order during these trying times?

President Joe Biden delivers a statement on the US military’s evacuation efforts in Afghanistan at the White House, Washington DC, 20 August 2021
Biden has very few options to restore US global credibility and counter the rise of the Eurasian power bloc. And all of them are bad President Joe Biden delivers a statement on the US military's evacuation efforts in Afghanistan at the White House, Washington DC, 20 August 2021 (AFP) 954 Shares

The tragic epilogue in Afghanistan came as no surprise to those few analysts who knew the real dynamics of the conflict but were often ignored, or ridiculed. Following the fall of Kabul into the hands of the Taliban, there were a plethora of post-mortems as to what went so wrong. The just-released, highly informative report of the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction provides a clear picture. Sadly, America's political and military establishments remain impervious to learning basic lessons.

China-US relations: Beijing hits out at American credibility as Kamala Harris moves to reassure Asia

US Vice-President Kamala Harris visits the USS Tulsa in Singapore on Monday.
China accused the United States of losing credibility in its foreign policy following its chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, as US Vice-President Kamala Harris tried to reassure Asia of Washington's commitment to the region.

Harris' trip to Singapore and Vietnam this week comes during the first major foreign policy crisis of President Joe Biden's administration.

In particular, Harris' expected arrival in Vietnam on Tuesday stirred comparisons between the frantic evacuation following the fall of Kabul last week and America's humiliating withdrawal from Saigon in 1975.


Comment: All views, assessments, forecasts, determinations, investigations and current political habits point to the Biden administration doing the 'least possible' for the most 'contrived good'. In other words, rubbish in - rubbish out.

Russia to evacuate 500 from Kabul; Hungary winding down Afghan airlifts

Russia will use four military transport aircraft to evacuate more than 500 citizens from Afghanistan, Russian news agencies reported on August 25, as the Taliban said an August 31 deadline for all foreign evacuations to be completed will not be extended.

Besides Russians, the four aircraft will also airlift citizens of other member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), as well as Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry was quoted as saying in a statement:
"On August 25, by order from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergei Shoigu organized the evacuation by military transport aircraft of over 500 citizens of the Russian Federation, CSTO member states (Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan), and Ukraine from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan."
The aircraft are equipped with medical personnel and supplies to provide the necessary medical assistance in flight, the statement said.

In Budapest, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said the Hungarian evacuation efforts from Afghanistan are nearing an end after the Central European country airlifted just over 500 people from Kabul. "The exact timing will be announced by the commander of the army, which may happen as soon as today,"

Comment: It seems every leader has a take on what should happen in Kabul...regardless of the deadline edict by the Taliban.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is prepared to keep its military personnel in Afghanistan after an Aug. 31 American deadline. Trudeau made the announcement after meeting today in a virtual summit with fellow G7 leaders.

Going into the meeting, Trudeau played his cards close to his chest on whether he wanted the G7 to push for an extension of the American military commitment to Afghanistan.

President Joe Biden had been expected to face calls from some fellow leaders in the special virtual G7 meeting to extend the U.S. military commitment to the country beyond his Aug. 31 deadline.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who hosted the summit, and France's Emmanuel Macron were among those calling for an extension in order to more fully evacuate all foreign nationals and vulnerable Afghans who helped the Americans and the NATO allies before the country's recent fall to the Taliban.

Trudeau added:
"We also have to talk about how, as an international community we're holding the Taliban to account, we're ensuring that we're protecting people who won't be able to escape the Taliban in the coming week or weeks."
Germany seems to be in the same pickle as other countries for evacuation of its citizens:
Germany will not be able to evacuate all of its citizens and Afghans who worked with the German troops by August 31, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has admitted, adding that 100 Germans still haven't got to Kabul airport. Maas told Germany's Bild TV broadcaster, adding that "honesty" demands he admit this fact:
"We will not be able to get everyone out of Afghanistan in the remaining days of this military evacuation operation."
The foreign minister said that German officials are "in contact" with 100 "citizens and their families" on the ground and are aware of their location. The officials were still trying to bring them to the Kabul airport in a "reasonably safe" manner and get them onboard one of the Bundeswehr flights. He also admitted that Berlin had to negotiate with the Taliban to evacuate some people while describing it as "worse than just an abnormal state of affairs." "To do this, one has to go ways one does not want to go," Maas said, arguing that Germany had no other choice.

So far, 351 German citizens and their families have been flown out of Afghanistan, according to the German media.
And the US update is 'no change':
It would seem the USA, and in particular the Biden administration, is in the international crapper.

Two House members took unauthorized trip to Kabul to witness evacuation effort

Lawmakers Seth Moulton (T-R) and Peter Meijer (B-R) visit the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan
Two House members and U.S. military veterans - Reps. Seth Moulton, a Democrat, and Peter Meijer, a Republican - took an unauthorized trip this week to Kabul as U.S. military forces scramble in Afghanistan to evacuate as many Americans and Afghan allies as possible before their Aug. 31. withdrawal deadline.

The trip was not confirmed until the Massachusetts and Michigan lawmakers, respectively, left Afghan airspace on a return flight, close to 24-hours after initially landing. Both served in Iraq before being elected to Congress.

Biden administration officials were furious about the trip, claiming that the arrival of the men caused a distraction for the personnel on the ground attempting to do a job amid chaos. One senior official told the Washington Post,
"They're taking seats away from Americans and at-risk Afghans - while putting our diplomats and service members at greater risk - so they can have a moment in front of the cameras."
In a joint statement, Moulton and Meijer contested the idea that visit appearance caused a distraction. They wrote:
"We have been on the other side of this argument while we were serving and it just isn't accurate. Trust us: the professionals on the ground are focused on the mission. Many thanked us for coming."
The lawmakers, who pledged to leave Kabul only on a flight that had at least three empty seats, say they were on a fact-finding mission. They also believe that leaving on a passenger flight and being taken to an area where evacuees are being temporarily relocated will provide them with on-the-ground knowledge of what the rescue process looks like, and aid their ability to deliver oversight.

Comment: Some of our legislators have guts and gumption to see first hand what comprises the real situation and kudos for a bi-partisan undertaking so as to present an even-handed account. Pelosi's take? Not so much.


Were rules broken...who knows. Congress seems to do this all the time.
