The Great Reject — of the "Great Reset". Dystopian nightmare for all humanity

The World that Klaus Schwab, executive director of the World Economic Forum, wants us to rubber stamp is a 100% dystopian nightmare. In fact, if one was to write a film script about the worst of all outcomes for the human race and planet, Schwab's 'Great Reset' dream would perfectly fill the bill.

Everything that moves and breathes is to be sanitised, anaesthetized and digitalised proclaims the WEF White Paper of October 2020. This is the way to turn the world 'Green' according to Schwab and his team of technocratic trolls. Well, most of us will turn green just by reading this WEF master-plan for humanity "Resetting the Future of Work Agenda in a post Covid World" so there's really no need to bother with its implementation, is there?

The inventory of fake green huey to be found within the pages of this paper goes back to the Club of Rome (founded 1968) coming up with the idea that for the elite to maintain their grip on world affairs, some scary story threatening the end of life on Earth was needed.

So the idea of Global Warming was hatched to fit this need. It also had the advantage of being a money spinner via the invention of 'carbon taxes' and deployment of a whole new fake green infrastructure under the title 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution'. Yes, a truly inspiring control package was put together - just waiting for a suitable moment to be rolled-out across the world.

4-day work week experiment to go ahead at Unilever New Zealand

Starting next week, employees of consumer goods multinational Unilever in New Zealand will work four days a week — and be paid for five — in a yearlong trial, the company said on Tuesday.

The move is an "experiment" to see if shortening the workweek by one day can "bring material change in the way [employees] work," Unilever New Zealand managing director Nick Bangs said in a statement.

"We believe the old ways of working are outdated and no longer fit for purpose," Bangs said.

Comment: While a reconsideration of how we live our lives is worthwhile, one needs to be discerning, particularly so in our time where the 'new normal' pushers are not promoting these changes for the benefit of citizens but instead for the agenda of more nefarious forces:

Ivy League epidemiologist says hard data don't convey COVID crisis on campus

Virus Covid

Look at hospitalizations and deaths, not just 'cases'

Amid panic around the reported spike in novel coronavirus infections at U.S. colleges, a Brown University epidemiologist is asking the public to take a closer look at the data.

Andrew Bostom, who has periodically published updates of reported COVID-19 statistics from campus testing, argues that hospitalization and mortality rates don't back up the portrayal of a worsening pandemic.

The perception that college students mingling with each other is a public health crisis is an optical illusion, Bostom told The College Fix in a discussion of how hard data related to the virus are often misconstrued.

But Bostom also has his suspicions about the reliability of the data from certain sources, especially the RT-PCR tests being used on a mass scale.

Over the weekend he touted validation from Portugal, where a court ruled that the tests are "unable to determine, beyond reasonable doubt, that a positive result corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-CoV-2 virus," which causes COVID-19.

UK supermarkets paying out millions to shareholders while receiving nearly £2 billion in emergency government assistance

Morrisons is one of the three listed supermarkets to have offered a dividend
The UK's largest food retailers have been urged by MPs to waive their entitlement to a business rates holiday before issuing dividends to shareholders. So far this year, the three listed supermarkets — Tesco, Sainsbury and Wm Morrison — have declared dividends worth about £1.35bn on a combined basis.

According to the consultancy Altus group, the supermarkets have benefited from about £1.36bn of business rates relief targeted by the government at the retail and leisure sectors during the coronavirus crisis.

Altus estimated that once Asda is included, £1 in every £6 of rates relief went to the Big Four supermarkets, which have recorded strong sales during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Shadow business minister Lucy Powell said that any large company that had received government subsidies while seeing its own business boom "should do the socially and morally responsible thing".

Comment: Many big business have profited handsomely during the lockdowns - certainly more so than small businesses - they also tend to have strong connections in government, and as the lockdowns continue this trend appears to be showing no signs of changing.

Although perhaps more importantly lockdowns have been well and truly exposed as not achieving what governments claimed they would do and in continuing to enforce them they are willfully destroying people's livelihoods. Dealing with the tyrannical lockdowns would be the priority, and the time will then come to tackle those those who've flagrantly profited from this nightmare.

The digital 'Iron Curtain' descends

What is a 'digital Iron Curtain'? It is when Big Digital, as Professor Michael Rectenwald terms these western Tech Goliaths, become 'governmentalities', using a word originally coined by Michel Foucault to refer to the means by which the 'governed' (i.e. 'we the people') assimilate, and reflect outwardly, a mental attitude desired by the élites: "One might point to masking and social distancing as instances of what Foucault meant by his notion of governmentality", Rectenwald suggests.

And what is that desired 'mentality'? It is to embrace the transfiguration of American and European identity and way-of-life. The presumptive U.S. President Elect, the European élites, and top 'woke' élites moreover, are publicly committed to such "transformation": "Now we take Georgia, then we change the world," (Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, declared, celebrating Joe Biden's 'victory'); "Trump's defeat can be the beginning of the end of the triumph of far-right populisms also in Europe", claimed Donald Tusk, former president of the European Council.

In short, the 'Iron Curtain' descends when supposedly private enterprises (Big Digital) mutually inter-penetrate with - and then claim - the State: No longer the non-believer facing this coming metamorphosis is to be persuaded - he can be compelled. Regressive values held on identity, race and gender quickly slipped into a 'heresy' labelling. And as the BLM activists endlessly repeat: "Silence is no option: Silence is complicity".

Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon request a STOP of all corona vaccination studies due to safety concerns and call for co-signing the petition

On December 1, 2020, the ex-Pfizer head of respiratory research Dr. Michael Yeadon and the lung specialist and former head of the public health department Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg filed an application with the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for EU-wide drug approval, for the immediate suspension of all SARS CoV 2 vaccine studies, in particular the BioNtech/Pfizer study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42).

Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon demand that the studies - for the protection of the life and health of the volunteers - should not be continued until a study design is available that is suitable to address the significant safety concerns expressed by an increasing number of renowned scientists against the vaccine and the study design.

On the one hand, the petitioners demand that, due to the known lack of accuracy of the PCR test in a serious study, a so-called Sanger sequencing must be used. This is the only way to make reliable statements on the effectiveness of a vaccine against Covid-19. On the basis of the many different PCR tests of highly varying quality, neither the risk of disease nor a possible vaccine benefit can be determined with the necessary certainty, which is why testing the vaccine on humans is unethical per se.

An Australian woman repeatedly stabbed and beheaded her mother — who paid nearly $2,000 for an exorcism to vanquish the "demon" from her "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"-obsessed daughter, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Gruesome details emerged on the first day of Jessica Callimeri's murder trial, as prosecutors recalled how her mom, Rita Callimeri, was desperate to get her daughter help.

"The accused said she wanted to give the deceased a taste of her own medicine," Crown Prosecutor Tony McCarthy told jurors, news.com.au reported.

Mysterious Utah monolith disappears, another appears in ROMANIA then vanishes

The monument on Grunten Mountain, Grüntenhütte; The Utah monolith
A strange metallic monolith has been spotted in Romania just days after a similar structure was discovered in a remote Utah desert - before being removed by an unknown party.

The cryptic 13-foot (4m) object was found near an ancient fortress and archaeological site in the city of Piatra Neamt.

Photographs and videos show that the structure has a startling resemblance to a similar monolith that was discovered, but then hauled away by an unidentified group, in Utah last week. However, the Romanian monolith is decorated with a loop-like script that appears to be etched into the object's metallic veneer.


Comment: On closer inspection this 'loop-like script' appears to little more than hilariously messy marks clearly made with a power tool.

This aerial view shows the damage at the Arecibo Observatory after one of the main cables holding the suspended receiver platform broke and fell 140 meters (450 feet), smashing onto the radio dish below.
Astronomers knew the clock was ticking for the iconic Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico. Engineers had pronounced the second-largest radio dish in the world to be on the brink of collapse and too dangerous to try to repair.

At 7:55 a.m. local time on December 1st, that ticking clock struck midnight. The National Science Foundation is reporting that the 900-ton platform, suspended over the dish via multiple cables to three support towers, has fallen.

Restaurant, bar, and nightclub owners staged a protest against the Portuguese government and its crushing Covid restrictions outside the national parliament on Tuesday - the fifth day of their ongoing hunger strike.

The nine business owners claim that anti-coronavirus restrictions brought in by the government have crippled the hospitality industry, while the state has failed to support those most impacted by the measures.

The demonstrators, who are camped outside the Palácio de São Bento, the home of Portugal's parliament, say they will not eat until they are met by the prime minister and the economy minister.

The protesters have been surviving off water, tea, and coffee donated by their supporters.
