Gone But Not Forgotten

There is a semi-secluded, 14th-century church, situated somewhere between the River Derwent and the A6 road, in the green-and-pleasant county of Derbyshire (Figure 254.1). The Matlock-to-Derby railway line runs directly adjacent to the western wall of the churchyard. A ten-minute walk away, an unstaffed, two-platform station lies at the end of a quiet footpath on the banks of the River Ecclesbourne, which flows into the Derwent less than half a mile away.

Unless there is a church service or other event in progress, its small public car park lies empty. It is possible to spend an hour or so, admiring the woodland and rolling fields, without seeing another soul, and the incessant birdsong is interrupted by only passing trains.

The city of Derby is just seven minutes away, by rail. Hence, it is a convenient place for anyone who hates urban driving (e.g. myself) to leave the car, before strolling along the riverside to catch the train.

I parked there yesterday lunchtime. On the station platform, my younger son and I waited, along with two other boys wearing white football shirts, for the hourly service to the city. A half-mile walk from the city station is Pride Park, home of Derby County Football Club since 1997.

The club’s post-war history has been largely unremarkable, apart from a glorious period in the 1970s, when it won the league twice. It also reached the semi-final of the 1973 European Cup (now UEFA Champions League) and, on 5th November, 1975, thrashed the mighty Real Madrid 5-1. How many other ‘unremarkable’ teams have ever done such a thing?

Half a century ago, players such as Kevin Hector (1944-), Dave Mackay (1934-2015) and John McGovern (1949-) (Figure 254.2) became household names. It was, however, the club’s charismatic and controversial manager Brian Clough (1935-2004), assisted by Peter Taylor (1928-90), who deserves more credit than anyone else. An awkward but mercurial Yorkshireman, Clough took Derby from the bottom of the second division of English football to first division champions during his 1967-1973 tenure. Those who considered his success to have been a one-off fluke were silenced when he repeated the feat within a decade, at the helm of locals rivals Nottingham Forest, who were subsequently crowned European champions in 1979 and 1980. No manager, either British or foreign, has come close to emulating Clough’s achievements against such unfavourable odds. His flaws, well documented, could never lay a glove on his genius which was to make complex ideas simple, rather than the other way round.

My son and I ate our lunch, sitting in the shade of a nine-foot-tall bronze statue of Brian Clough and his right-hand man (Figure 254.3). This focal point has adorned the northwest corner of the ground, named Unity Plaza, since 2010. Supporters older than myself, who could recall the halcyon days, took photographs; and young children, who could not, said with pride nevertheless: ‘That's Brian Clough.’

Figure 254.3: In front of the iconic Pride Park Stadium, a statue, designed by British sculptor Andy Edwards (1964-), shows Clough (left) and Taylor holding the 1972 League Championship Trophy. Edwards was also responsible for the 2015 statue of the Beatles, which stands at Liverpool's Pier Head.

Among a crowd of 30,247, we watched Derby beat Leyton Orient 3-0 (Figure 254.4). Short of disaster during the coming fortnight, the club will win promotion to the Championship, coupled with additional revenue and all else that goes with it.

Figure 254.4: In the aftermath of the Hillsborough Disaster (1989), all-seat football stadiums became mandatory. Since then, many English clubs have moved from their original sites, all of which bore some degree of decrepitude. Derby were one of the first to make the change, and Pride Park is one of the ‘oldest of the new’.

Within an hour of the match ending, we arrived back at the car. The noise of a large football crowd had been replaced by an almost indescribable calm. We opened the church gate and stepped carefully between a few of the oldest gravestones to a small, unpretentious memorial adorned by roses fluttering in the spring breeze (Figure 254.5).

It surprises me that no other football supporters park here before setting off for Pride Park. Perhaps they do not know where it is.

Happy Easter, Frida Maanum

I have promised several readers that I shall stop referencing clot shot deaths and injuries, but only on two conditions: (a) when they stop happening; and (b) when people are no longer blind to both the obvious cause and their own (often wilful) blindness.

Condition (b) threatens to be as formidable a hurdle as (a). It would be foolish to predict which of the two is more likely to happen first. Within the past week, I have been informed of the following:

1. A work colleague told me that his mother had just been admitted to hospital, suffering from bacterial pneumonia and sepsis. This was her second confinement, for the same reason, in the past two years. She is, otherwise, fit and healthy. When I mentioned that such an infectious condition is the consequence of immune deficiency, it barely registered with him. It was certainly not enough to make him contemplate the underlying cause, particularly given that so many other people have suddenly begun to suffer with immune-deficient pathologies (e.g. shingles, recurrent respiratory infections, cancer etc.).

2. A former work colleague remarked that he was not free last Thursday owing to having to attend a funeral. He mentioned, somewhat despairingly, that he had never been to so many funerals in such a short space of time but did not suggest any possible explanation. This was in spite of several of the deceased having been younger than himself (51 years).

3. My elder son told me, just yesterday, that his friend’s mother, whom I have known for fifteen years, has just been diagnosed with cancer. She is, I believe, in her late forties, and she and I are members of a WhatsApp chat group relating to a local sports club. I wonder whether she remembers the stroppy responses I received, from several members, when, in 2021, I offered them first-hand scientific data about the clot shots and warned what would happen to those who submitted — i.e. severe immune deficiency, blood clots and ‘turbo’ cancer, among many other nasty surprises. Did she believe me then? Does she believe me now?

Referring back to Condition (b), it seems unlikely that I shall stop writing about the clot shot any time soon. It was the eminent behavioural economist Daniel Kahneman (1934-2024) (Figure 253.1), who died only last Wednesday, who stated that the masses were frequently blind to both the obvious and their own blindness.

Figure 253.1: Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman expounded some powerful ideas, despite seeming (to me, at least) to be a bit of a contradiction. He believed in the protection of dissent, and yet was heavily associated with the totalitarian World Economic Forum.

The Canadian evolutionary psychologist Professor Steven Pinker (1954-) said of Kahneman:

‘His central message could not be more important, namely that human reason, left to its own devices, is apt to engage in a number of fallacies and systematic errors, so if we want to make better decisions in our personal lives and as a society, we ought to be aware of these biases and seek workarounds.’

The words of both Kahneman and Pinker would, in my view, be useful starting points. The trouble with the uninformed and misinformed is that they are unlikely to address a manifestation of personal ignorance if they refuse to acknowledge its existence. A further psychological obstacle is that recognizing the stark truth would be require admission of their own erstwhile gullibility and unintelligent judgement.

While composing this article, and at the same time watching this afternoon’s Premier League football match between Manchester City and Arsenal, Sky Sports has announced that yet another sports professional has just collapsed on the field of play. At Molyneux, the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, the Women’s League Cup final had to be delayed after the Norwegian international player Frida Maanum (1999-) fell to the ground, unconscious, and had to be given emergency treatment, including oxygen, for ten minutes, before being carried off the pitch surrounded by medical staff (Figures 253.2 & 253.3).

Figure 253.2: Those who insist that it is irresponsible to speculate on the cause of this tragic event, I accuse you of moral negligence. Only the opposite is virtuous: it would be irresponsible not to ask why we are witnessing so many similar ‘coincidences’.

I wish a full and quick recovery to this poor young sportswoman and all the other individuals whose ‘unexplained coincidences’ are yet to occur. If only enough people cared enough to speak out.

Happy Easter to all.

The Damned Truth

Throughout my first stint at university, in the late 1980s, I spent a significant amount of time studying cranial (X-ray) radiographs. As part of orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, it was deemed essential to carrying out detailed cephalometric analysis. (This is the study of skeletal and dental relationships as a preliminary part of clinical treatment planning.) For fourteen subsequent years in clinical settings, I took and analysed such radiographs on a daily basis.

Partly for that reason, and given my later involvement in forensic science, I have been chronically intrigued by the JFK assassination (22nd November, 1963), particularly in the light of all the (patently obvious) lies and distortions detailed in the official Warren Commission Report, published in 1964 (Figure 252.1).

Figure 252.1: The cover-up was even more cack-handed than the assassination.

Copyright © 1964 The Warren Commission

Had the Warren Commission been credible, few would have questioned it. The fact that there have since been numerous books and other documents written about the assassination is a direct consequence of the fact that the official report flies in the face of both verifiable evidence and the laws of physics. I have read many books proposing alternative explanations, from the honestly speculative to the downright ludicrous, but most fall flat somewhere along the way.

The following book has been (too) long in coming. Expert radiologist Dr David W. Mantik has painstakingly carried out optical density analysis of the JFK skull radiographs, and the evidence has been comprehensively documented by best-selling author Dr Jerome R. Corsi (Figure 252.2). The conclusions are unequivocal: (1) bullets entered JFK’s head from both front and back, thus proving conspiracy; (2) radiographs were doctored, in a ham-fisted fashion, to disguise evidence of the frontal shots; and (3) the Pentagon, FBI, CIA and all successive US governments stand guilty of having maintained the original lies for more than six decades. National security? Pull the other one.

Figure 252.2: Drs Mantik and Corsi deserve immense credit for bringing the truth into the open. I should also mention a British historian called Francis R. Conolly, whose documentary film Everything Is A Rich Man’s Trick is equally impressive in its factual analysis.

Such a monumental saga of deceit prompts the inevitable question: what else does the State lie about? The answer is: everything. Moreover, no issue has ever been too monstrous to deter State-serving liars. From JFK to 9/11 to ‘COVID’, the lies are not only enormous but all too easy for the inquiring mind to identify and subsequently dismantle with the requisite knowledge and logic.

As the ‘COVID’ scam continues its inevitable exposure, the State is becoming frantic. Hardly a day passes without some State stooge pontificating about ‘disinformation peddlers’, ‘conspiracy theorists’ or ‘social media trolls’. The hallowed BBC even has its own BBC Verify section, designed to put out wildfires of truth, and fronted by an unremarkable youngster called Marianna Spring, whom I seem able only to pity. For the first time in history, people are not dependent on the State as the sole source of mass information. The internet, particularly social media, has removed that power — and the State does not like it.

The remedy is simple: if the State told the truth, then there would be little public curiosity. Those of us with a natural tendency to dispute rickety State narratives would have neither credibility nor motivation. Recently, some governments have become so desperate that they are demanding criminal prosecution for anyone questioning the State. Hot potato issues of sexes (there are only two), anthropogenic climate change (a lie) and a litany of ‘woke’ claptrap are prominent examples of State narratives contradicting overwhelming scientific evidence and, in extreme cases, self-evident truth.

This week’s example of self-exposed bullshit concerns Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Having been publicly invisible since last December, it was announced two days ago that, after undergoing major surgery, Her Royal Highness has been diagnosed with cancer. This belated announcement highlights two huge issues which will not go away.

First, when media (and social media) commentators began wondering why HRH had not been seen for so long, someone in authority decided to publish no less than four doctored photographs in a witless attempt to convince the world that there was ‘nothing to see here’. Intelligent, observant members of the public, a.k.a. conspiracy theorists, saw through the deception immediately. Why lie if the truth would suffice? It follows, therefore, that the truth would not suffice. Why not?

Furthermore, the video of HRH sitting alone on a garden bench, against a seasonal backdrop of blooming daffodils, was weird to say the least (Figure 252.3). The complete stillness of the flower heads indicated that the background was fake and that a videographic ‘green screen’ had probably been used. Why not use a real setting rather than something so conspicuously contrived? Even more strange, the image of HRH resembled so-called ‘deep fake artificial intelligence’, which seems boundless in its ability to make the unreal appear real. Research it, if you doubt me. Lastly, there is no proof regarding when the video was made. Why not? This would be easy to do and would limit further speculation.

Figure 252.3: Anyone au fait with AI fakery would find this widely-available video message eerily familiar.

Given this lack of rational resolution, speculation will surely continue. Some commentators even maintain that HRH is dead. Far-fetched, perhaps, and, according to some, distasteful, but how would the public know?

The second issue concerns the dreaded clot shot. In Article 186, published on 22nd January, 2022, I expressed my amazement, and disgust, at HRH for recommending the clot shot, even for pregnant women. She also allowed her own ‘vaccination’ to be filmed and broadcast (Figure 252.4), presumably to convince others to do likewise.

Figure 252.4: How many people decided to be ‘vaccinated’, and subsequently died or suffered serious injury, after being inspired by this footage?

Copyright © 2021 Kensington Palace

I have persistently wondered whether members of the Royal Family were given the real clot shot as opposed to a saline placebo. I would, ordinarily, tend to believe not, particularly as Members of Parliament, Big Pharma employees, and independent scientists such as myself, were given automatic exemption. That said, HM The (late) Queen (1926-2022) deteriorated rapidly throughout the summer of 2022, as a consequence, I have been told, of some form of blood cancer. In the light of the recent announcement that HM The King (1948-) has also been diagnosed with cancer, I am left to wonder whether some royals were injected with the real juice after all.

The incidence of cancer, particularly fast-progressing ‘turbo’ cancer, has skyrocketed as a result of the clot shot rollout. The number of deaths among younger generations is most striking of all (Figures 252.5 & 252.6). There are, to date, three established mechanisms proving causation: (1) reduction in blood interferon concentration; (2) inhibition of cancer-suppressing genes; and (3) deliberate, and undeclared, incorporation of simian vacuolating virus (SV40) in the ‘vaccine’ vials.

To all those who consider speculation, in the face of deceit, to be tasteless or offensive, I shall say this: the State is presently doing everything in its power to stop citizens exercizing their right to rational inquiry when confronted with official explanations that make no sense and thus insult the intelligent thinker. I shall leave the last word to JFK’s admirable nephew (Figure 252.7).

Figure 252.7: Why is the State so consistently fearful of the public bypassing its authority in a quest for real truth?

I maintain that HRH The Princess of Wales’s recommendation of the clot shot was damned irresponsible and might well have already led to widespread public harm. Nonetheless, rather than gloat about the possibility of HRH being hoist by her own petard, I wish her a swift and complete recovery, assuming she is still alive. Ditto HM. God Save The King.

More importantly, long live freedom of both speech and written expression.

A Thousand Words Each

When British evolutionary biologist Professor Richard Dawkins (1941-) coined the term ‘meme’ for his classic 1976 book The Selfish Gene, I doubt that he envisaged that the term would enter the lexicon in the way that it has. His original definition was ‘the cultural equivalent of a biological gene’ — i.e. a replicating entity which is passed from one body to another and does so according to its inherent value within a specific environment.

The most proclaimed example of a Dawkinsian meme is probably religion. What that means is, tenets of religious faith, however irrational or pernicious, are effectively passed through the generations, from one mind to the next, perhaps being amended (i.e. evolving) on the way.

The definition of a meme seems to have evolved, too. Today, it equates normally to an image, often an evocative photograph, which is sent from one smartphone or computer to another, and thus from one human mind to another. Given that a picture is said to paint a thousand words, I recently requested ‘plandemic’ memes from various quarters. Here is a small selection (Figures 251.1, 251.2, 251.3, 251.4, 251.5, 251.6, 251.7 & 251.8). Their respective copyright details are unknown.

Primum Non Nocere!

Dr James Thorp, MD (Figure 250.1) is a highly-qualified, vastly-experienced maternal-foetal medicine specialist from Florida, USA. He has been a practising obstetrician for the past 44 years. He cares for 6,000 to 7,000 high-risk pregnancies per year. Since the rollout of the ‘COVID vaccines’, he has witnessed:

‘... many, many, many complications in pregnant women, in moms and in fetuses, in children, offspring … fetal death, miscarriage, death of the fetus inside the mom.’

Figure 250.1: ‘What I’ve seen in the last two years is unprecedented.’

The heroic Dr Thorp has risked his professional status by speaking the truth. On February 29th, he wrote the following message on X/Twitter (Figure 250.2):

Figure 250.2: 585 million injuries [including 20 million deaths] and counting ...

It is incredible to consider that pregnant women are routinely advised not to drink alcohol, nor eat certain types of dairy product, nor take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. aspirin); and yet, almost every State health authority worldwide recommended repeated injection of an experimental gene-based drug with no safety profile.

Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath? Whatever happened to common sense?

Dr Thorp stands tall in a profession disgraced from top to bottom.

Why is the British government, among many others, refusing to release anonymized data comparing death rates of the ‘vaccintated’ to those of us who refused to roll up our sleeves? There are 70% of individuals in the former category and 30% in the latter, so it would be both straightforward and statistically robust to make such a comparison (Figure 249.3).

Figure 249.3: A chi-squared (or χ²) test is a statistical hypothesis test used with large sample sizes, where:

χ² = test statistic

O = observed frequencies

E = expected frequencies

Σ = the sum of

In the case of ‘vaxxed’ versus ‘unvaxxed’, the sample sizes are in the tens of millions. The test is used primarily to examine whether two categorical variables are independent in influencing the test statistic. It is simple and conclusive.

It must be stressed, however, that the term ‘unvaccinated’ has been abused by State agencies. The term has been defined, incorrectly and deceitfully, to include all individuals injected within the previous fourteen days (Figure 249.4).

Figure 249.4: Look at the mortality data for the first 14 days post-injection. This time period accounts for the vast majority of deaths. Its inclusion in ‘unvaccinated’ data is, therefore, transparently fraudulent.

There is, of course, no good reason for the data to be withheld. That is the terrifying answer. An honest analysis would reveal, beyond the slightest doubt, that Big Pharma, Gates, Schwab et al. used their control of regulators, corporate media, corrupt academia and healthcare institutions to sell one of the biggest ever conspiracies: the ‘vaccines’ are toxic by design.

This is why these same sociopaths are so desperate to create all manner of distractions to avoid the spotlight. Meanwhile, the walls continue to close in on them.

N.B. Many Pharma apologists and propagandists have insisted that the explosion in heart attacks etc. has been one of the sequelae of ‘COVID’ infection. This is yet another lie. Only the synthetic proteins translated from the modified nucleic acids have been identified in inflamed myocardium/pericardium tissue samples. No viral proteins have ever been isolated. The inflammation is, therefore, caused by injection, not infection.

How strange it is, that, throughout the past five years, I have not had so much as a sniffle. My secret? Vitamins C, D3 and K2 along with zinc. Safe and effective.

A Storm Coming For The Guilty

Thanks again, Neil Oliver (Figure 248.1). See below.

‘It’s palpable that the anger of citizens is rising. It’s been on a sort of slow simmer for years. It seems to be coming to a boil. The heat has been turned up, or the heat that’s already there is somehow building an intensity.

‘You can’t point at any single place on the map, really, and say, here’s the seat of it. The building, anger and frustration and heat and pain is everywhere in the West, certainly. And it’s for all sorts of reasons. There are many symptoms, all coming from the same disease.

‘By now, we’ve all endured, what is it, three, four years of the most dangerous and blatant assault on freedom and civil rights in the history of humankind. That’s a fact. And I make no apologies for bringing this up over and over, for worrying at this like a terrier with a rat — because the sustained abuse of our species, inflicted on an unprecedented scale, even after all these years, it remains unaddressed, unconfessed and without consequences for the guilty — so far.

‘The guilty have grown sore, have been so confident, blasé, that they don’t even seek any longer to deny the coordinated global collusion of Big State, Big Pharma, Big Media, wholesale collusion that ended completely or ruined forever uncounted millions of lives. And it is millions of lives across the West, around the world, directly or indirectly, because of policies and practices that have been in place ...

‘You don’t get to shape the world, reshape the world in your own image, to your advantage, to the advantage of a tiny minority, to the detriment of the hundreds of millions, indeed the billions, and then play the victim when someone somewhere says, ‘Enough.’

‘A person cornered, a person left with nothing, or who feels he has nothing left to lose, is finally free in a fundamental sense, free to act in any way that suits. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a storm coming. And those who bloody-mindedly sowed the seeds of the whirlwind, who reaped the benefits of so doing for so long, are finally, finally feeling the change in the wind.’

Figure 248.1: Neil Oliver thinks pretty much as I do, which is why I have reported his recent podcast verbatim. He deserves a knighthood for speaking the truth and refusing to be silenced.

Given the extremely low uptake of ‘COVID boosters’, it is clear that the general public has, at last, realized that a worldwide poisoning event has taken place, beginning in 2021. Since then, the number of excess deaths has skyrocketed and is, in all countries, directly proportional to the number of injections given.

Politicians, too — at least the honest ones — are putting the matter on record. These include, among many others, an Australian senator, Gerard Rennick, an American senator, Ron Johnson, the entire Slovakian government and a growing number of British MPs, most notably the brave Andrew Bridgen. To date, however, governments have flatly refused to disclose the ‘vaccination’ status of all the recent dead or conduct a proper investigation (Figure 248.2). It does not take a genius to work out why. Politicians, worldwide, are terrified of the truth exploding into the open, but explode it will.

Figure 248.2: MPs and peers have accused the current Health Secretary Victoria Atkins (above), who holds qualifications in neither science nor medicine, of withholding data that link the ‘vaccine’ to excess deaths, and criticized a ‘wall of silence’ on the matter.

Seven MPs have requested that the Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes a comprehensive time-series cohort analysis of UK data (weekly buckets for 152 weeks starting in Jan 2021). If the ONS complies, then there will be enough evidence to pursue other agencies and individuals. If the ONS refuses, then the MPs will be able to shift the blame for this crisis onto the ONS. It looks, therefore, like checkmate. The MPs’ letter can be read, in full, here:

https://www.skirsch.com/covid/TimeSeriesLetterDiamond.pdf

Elsewhere, June Raine, who led the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) throughout the ‘COVID’ scam, has just resigned, making the disgusting claim:

‘It has been an honour to lead an agency which has patient safety as its top priority.’

Bear in mind that, under Raine’s watch, the vast majority of MHRA funding came from Big Pharma, whom the MHRA is meant not to enable but to regulate. What a coincidence that she has jumped ship just as MPs are calling for an investigation into the MHRA’s failure to flag ‘vaccine’ dangers. Furthermore, being so ignorant of publicly-available scientific data is unforgivable. Raine can run but she cannot hide.

As Neil Oliver points out: there is a palpable change in the wind.

We must hang ’em high — that is, all who perpetrated or assisted this ‘vaccine’ democide.
