The Digital Gulag

Five days until Christmas, and the UK government, via Pravda-esque media (Figure 149.1), spouts ever more lies which should insult the intelligence of not just experienced scientists, but of all thinking individuals. Alas, given that propaganda is meticulously constructed to appeal to emotion not reason, thinking does not enter into it.

Figure 149.1: Pravda, which translates, ironically, as ‘truth’, was the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the USSR. It was made impossible for the Soviet people to distinguish facts from party propaganda. Citizens of the supposedly enlightened West used to laugh at its absurd distortions; and yet, today, more ironically still, those same people have become unsuspecting victims of the same degree of brainwashing.

This week, increasing public scepticism has been countered with the announcement of a new strain of coronavirus which is, supposedly, 70% more transmissible than its predecessor. This might well be true; but such a specific figure would be impossible to determine so soon. True to form, the government has not allowed its calculations to be peer-reviewed. I wonder why not. This melodramatic statement is not, therefore, to inform and educate, but to mislead and perpetuate public fear.

The whole truth is this: all viruses are subject to a Darwinian evolutionary selection pressure not to kill the host. If the host dies, then the viruses within the hosts cells, being obligate parasites, die, too. Therefore, as viruses mutate and subsequently evolve, transmissibility increases, but lethality decreases. Viruses do not have ‘waves’. Even the oft-cited Spanish flu (1918-9) – a true pandemic? – did not have ‘waves’, but involved several infectious agents, some viral, others bacterial. Recent increases in the number of (incorrectly-named) ‘cases’ are largely a consequence of previous lockdowns and vastly increased testing (with a 90%+ false-positive rate). The survival rate remains between 99.8 and 99.9%; and yet, all social and economic life has been systematically destroyed in an unprecedented manner. Why? Hong Kong flu (1968-9), for instance, was far more deadly, but life, sensibly, continued as normal.

Yet another lie is the propagandized myth of asymptomatic transmission. While theoretically possible, and hence giving credence to the notion, it does not occur, as the viral load of an asymptomatic carrier is nowhere near sufficient to cross-infect. This is an example of ‘lying without actually lying’.

It should now be clear to everyone that the staged reaction to COVID’ is a means to an end. That end, however, is neither the eradication of coronaviruses, which would be impossible, nor to save lives, because more deaths have occurred as a result of withdrawn medical care than of extra acute respiratory illness.

It is tempting to conclude that the ulterior end is universal vaccination. This, however, takes us only partway down the COVID rabbit hole. To date, vaccine manufacturers have admitted that their novel vaccines will not prevent viral transmission, but, at best, reduce symptoms for a short period.

Why, then, is mass vaccination being pushed and propagandized so relentlessly, particularly given the ultra-low infection fatality rate? One obvious reason is the potential vast profit for Big Pharma. The other is more insidious still. Personal ‘vaccination status’, stored via digital identification (see ‘ID2020’), is being pursued to render individual liberty conditional (which is surely an oxymoron). Only those with the prescribed vaccination status, digitally monitored by the State, would be permitted to live a normal life. This should disgust every sane and decent human being.

Of course, the scope for digital ID would not stop at medical data. It could be used in conjunction with the monitoring of financial status and just about everything else. Digital (crypto-) currencies are about to replace cash. This will probably happen within five years. As I mentioned in Article 134, the two possible alternatives to cash are bitcoin (decentralized, secure, verifiable and of fixed supply) or a central bank digital currency (CBDC), which would be subject to centralized State control and the whims of corrupt bankers. If the latter wins the day, then all future monetary transactions could be monitored, controlled, taxed, and even terminated, by Big Brother. The freedom that comes with an independent medium of exchange would be lost forever.

I have warned against this outcome in several articles throughout the past few years. Nothing I have learned in the meantime has made me doubt those original haunting conclusions. Humanity is being deviously shepherded through the gates of a digital gulag, and millions of innocents, including some of my own loved ones, seem oblivious to where they are being blindly led (Figure 149.2).

Figure 149.2: The Pied Piper of Hamelin should serve as a cautionary tale with regard to current public acquiescence to the imposition of digital totalitarianism. The identity of the COVID piper should be obvious.

My use of the term ‘gulag’ is not born of either laziness or hyperbole. It is quite apt. One of the most powerful books I have ever read is The Gulag Archipelago by the Russian writer and political prisoner, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) (Figure 149.3). Its immense power stems from the fact that it is non-fiction.

Figure 149.3: Solzhenitsyn (pictured) wrote:

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didnt love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.

COVID-19: The Most Crucial Question

Most research scientists worldwide belong to one or more online chat groups. The groups serve as, if you like, WhatsApp for scientists’, where we can share news and views, as well as our own publications (without others needing to pay for access via the normal channels). These platforms are a godsend to us all. If I am puzzled by something, I can raise the issue online and, almost immediately, other scientists, from anywhere in the world, will respond to help. It saves much time, energy and money.

Naturally, this year’s chat has been dominated by COVID-19. Hence, I have been privy to information that is either not published or ruthlessly suppressed by online gatekeepers when it is. The universal view is that, given its (provisional) infection fatality rate of between 0.1 and 0.2%, COVID is not, and never has been, a pandemic. Furthermore, it is abundantly clear to us all that data relating to infections, cases and deaths have been systematically inflated as a means to a political end.

While scientists are generally frank – sometimes even quite blunt – within the groups, many are fearful of putting their names to counter-narrative evidence. Any anonymously published accounts, inevitably, invite knee-jerk accusations of ‘fake news’ or ‘disinformation’ from government or corporate media shills. This is something we have to accept.

The following message was sent to me by a ‘coal-face’ clinical scientist from California. I know his name, of course, but am, understandably, not prepared to make it known. He has a PhD in Virology and Immunology, and is happy for me to publish his unattributed views. They relate to the ongoing debate regarding whether the virus (SARS-CoV2) has ever been fully isolated and purified, which is essential to proving whether it is actually responsible for any presumed illnesses.

(I) have tested 1500 "supposed" positive COVID19 samples collected here in S. California. When my lab team and I did the testing through Koch’s postulates and observation under a SEM (scanning electron microscope), we found no COVID in any of the 1500 samples. What we found was that all of the 1500 samples were mostly Influenza A and some were influenza B, but not a single case of COVID, and we did not use the B.S. PCR test. We sent the remainder of the samples to Stanford, Cornell, and a few of the University of California labs and they found the same results as we did, no COVID. They found influenza A and B. All of us then spoke to the CDC and asked for viable samples of COVID, which CDC said they could not provide as they did not have any samples. We have now come to the firm conclusion through all our research and lab work, that COVID19 (the disease) is fictitious. The flu was called COVID and most of the 225,000 dead were dead through co-morbidities such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, emphysema etc. and they then got the flu which further weakened their immune system and they died. I have yet to find a single viable sample of COVID19 to work with. We at the 7 universities that did the lab tests on these 1500 samples are now suing the CDC for fraud. The CDC has yet to send us a single viable, isolated and purifed [sic] sample of COVID19. If they can’t or won’t send us a viable sample, I say there is no COVID19. The four research papers that do describe the genomic extracts of the COVID19 virus never were successful in isolating and purifying the samples fully. All four papers only describe small bits of RNA which were only 37 to 40 base pairs long which is NOT A VIRUS. A viral genome is typically 30,000 to 40,000 base pairs. With as bad as COVID is supposed to be, all over the place, how come no one in any lab world wide has ever isolated and purified this virus in its entirety?

In summary:

(1) Although the existence of the virus is proven, its causation of illness is not.

(2) Flu deaths in the US have been routinely recorded as COVID-19.

Similar deception has occurred in the UK, where there are, on average 10-11,000 flu deaths per year. This year (Jan to Aug), there have been fewer than 400. Therefore, in 2020, either flu has been magically eradicated, or its typical 10-11,000 deaths have been listed as ... something else.

Honest debate continues (Figure 148.1).


Figure 148.1: The last entry is the crux: for cause (SARS-CoV2) and effect (COVID-19) to be proven, Koch’s Postulates must be satisfied. These are four standard criteria designed to prove a causative relationship between a microbe and a disease. Thus, the virus must be introduced from ill to healthy subjects and a differential clinical diagnosis established beyond doubt. Such an experiment raises serious ethical questions, discussed at length at: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02821-4

Copyright © 2020 ResearchGate

Therefore, despite the universal assumption that a novel coronavirus has caused mass deaths, there is, to date, no scientific proof that so-called ‘COVID deaths’ are not a complete fabrication. After all, the total number of deaths owing to acute respiratory illness (coronavirus, seasonal flu, bacterial pneumonia etc.) for 2020 is statistically the same as for 2019. Professor John Ioannidis of Stanford University, one of the world’s leading epidemiologists, concluded likewise:

‘If we had not been told about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to influenza-like illness would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average.

The truth is as I have said: there has been no pandemic.

Bem Feito Portugal!

Eight years ago, I was approached by the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, asking whether I would be willing to serve as a professional adviser regarding government-funded biological research (Figure 147.1). I accepted the offer almost immediately, and have been happy to serve ever since, in which time I have come to know a good number of first-rate Portuguese scientists, mainly in the fields of forensic biology and biochemistry.


Figure 147.1: Initial request from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology

Since COVID first reared its fraudulent head, at the beginning of this year, communications between us, generally emails, have been incessant. We are all aware that, although a novel coronavirus (0.3% different from SARS-CoV-1) did emerge, the infection fatality rate (IFR) is way too low for COVID to be legitimately termed a pandemic. Worldwide, the current IFR is, according to the world’s leading epidemiologist, Dr John Ioannidis of Stanford University, a mere 0.14%, which is nowhere near statistically significant.

The principal aspect of the COVID saga to raise our hackles is the fact that the laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally unsuitable. As I pointed out in Article 141, written six weeks ago, the false-positive rate is far too high for the test to be valid. In fact, after having recently studied the original analytical protocol, it is beyond doubt that the test was designed deliberately to inflate the proportion of positive tests to an absurd degree. The false-positive rate is a staggering 90%. Why, then, we must ask, would the World Health Organization’s advisers engineer such a brazen deception?

Eleven days ago, the Portuguese Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa (Court of Appeal of Lisbon) (Figure 147.2) heard a testimony from several scientists, one of whom I know well, and concluded that the test was entirely unreliable, and that any subsequent enforced quarantine measures are unlawful. The original (Portuguese) text of the Court judgement can be found at:

http://www.dgsi.pt/jtrl.nsf/33182fc732316039802565fa00497eec/79d6ba338dcbe5e28025861f003e7b30

This ruling (Figure 147.3) is a huge blow to all governments that are destroying lives and livelihoods by means of lockdowns and other draconian restrictions. Conversely, it will serve as a boon to Dr Reiner Fuellmich (see Article 142), who will certainly cite this case in his class action lawsuits which are about to be presented to American and Canadian courts.

There has, predictably, been no mention of the case outcome by any mainstream media. Furthermore, the reddit website removed the information, stating  incredibly – that the official Court of Appeal documentation was an unreliable source. This is but the latest in a long catalogue of counternarrative facts erased from social media. Even Professor Michael Levitt, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013, and the world’s most quoted living scientist, had a video interview hastily removed from the internet just a fortnight ago.

Despite desperate efforts from crooked mainstream media, the truth behind The Great COVID Hoax’ is leaking out through more and more outlets. Public scepticism is growing. Throughout Europe, regular protests are becoming larger and more violent. Corrupt politicians and their advisers must realize that, once public anger reaches a critical volume, retribution will follow – in one form or another.

Exposing Corona Lies: Dr Roger Hodkinson

Article 145, featuring an interview with the eminent virologist, Professor Sucharit Bhakdi, has been well-received. Therefore, I thought I would introduce another top scientist, this one from Canada.

Dr Roger Hodkinson (Figure 146.1) received his medical degrees from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. Following a residency at the University of British Columbia, he became a Royal College certified general pathologist (FRCPC) and also a Fellow of the College of American Pathologists. He is currently Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons committee in Ottawa, CEO of a large private medical laboratory in Edmonton and Chairman of a Medical Biotechnology Company. He is in good Standing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, and has been recognized by the Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta as an expert in pathology.


Figure 146.1: Dr Roger Hodkinson, MA, MB, FRCPC, FCAP. ‘This is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.

Copyright © 2020 MedMalDoctors

Last week, Dr Hodkinson addressed the Council Chambers in Edmonton, Alberta (Figure 146.2). His view chimes with the vast majority of medical and biological scientists throughout the world. To the detriment of the non-scientific public, however, any scientist, however well-qualified, who exposes the chasmic flaws in the criminally-deceitful COVID narrative is denied a mainstream media platform. Think for a moment: when has there been a broadcast debate on COVID or an opportunity for the likes of Dr Hodkinson to question government advisers and their (non-peer-reviewed) statistics? The answer is never. The absence of honest debate should make any thinking person suspicious.

Humanity stands at a crossroads. People can rise up against authoritarian government, medical tyranny and diabolical corporations, ignore unconstitutional diktats and reassert their birthrights of liberty and freedom of speech, expression, movement and assembly. Alternatively, it can, without thinking, swallow malicious propaganda and be led to oblivion.

Remember this lesson from history:

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Exposing Corona Lies: Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi

Professor Sucharit Bhakdi (1946-) (Figure 145.1) served as Head of the Institute of Medical Microbiology at the University of Mainz, Germany. He has published more than three hundred peer-reviewed scientific papers throughout a distinguished fifty-year career and received thirteen major awards. Professor Bhakdi is one of many world-renowned experts in the field of infectious diseases currently speaking out against the COVID fraud.


Figure 145.1: How I would love to hear Professor Bhakdi engage in debate the charlatans behind the COVID scandal. How telling it is that none of them is willing.

Copyright © 2020 Chelsea Green 

Of course, Professor Bhakdis willingness to contradict and expose the hoax narrative, clumsily propagandized by governments, their corrupt advisers and the mainstream media, has induced the inevitable character assassination reserved for any eminent dissenters who have offered rational, evidence-based objections to lockdowns, (anti-)social distancing, mask-wearing, quarantining of healthy individuals and de facto mandatory vaccination. (Indeed, there have recently been media calls for any opposition to the imminent COVID vaccination program to be made a criminal offence. Ask yourself: is freedom of speech curtailed to suppress lies or unwanted truths?)

Two days ago, Professor Bhakdi gave an extensive online interview (Figure 145.2), in which he exposed the glaring flaws in the pandemic story. It can be easily understood by scientists and non-scientists alike.

I would add:

The prospect of mass vaccination should fill anyone (with more than a single functioning brain cell) with acute foreboding. (1) There has never been an effective vaccine for any coronaviruses, or RNA viruses in general. (2) COVID has an infection fatality rate of only 0.2% (UK), insufficient to warrant vaccine use. (3) The vaccine is predicated on the novel use of messenger RNA, which could realistically prompt the immune system to mount a severe immunological attack against its host. (4) The vaccine is to be introduced without any prior medium and long-term clinical trials. (5) Vaccine manufacturers have been given indemnity from prosecution, should post-vaccination serious adverse events occur, as they have done in recent trials.

As I mentioned earlier, the italicized paragraph above should, according to some, constitute a criminal offence. This is despite the fact that I could easily prove all five points stated.

Please take the time to listen to Professor Bhakdi. He is not only a highly-decorated medical doctor and research scientist, but also patient, placid and polite, articulate in multiple languages, and incredibly brave for speaking out.

The Three Bellends

Back in early 1991, I returned to my birthplace in the northwest of England and moved into an odd-looking cottage overlooking the River Mersey. Within staggering distance of my old home was a brick-built pub on a side-street corner. It was a rough old place which became hyper-rowdy at about ten thirty on Friday and Saturday evenings. Disturbances generally involved things being thrown: punches, beer glasses, not necessarily empty, and, on special occasions, snooker cues. Flashing blue lights were a regular feature outside, and they had nothing to do with music and dancing.

Last week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that the entire locality would be forced into another lockdown as part of the (hoax) COVID saga. This time, however, people have had enough. They are becoming increasingly awake to the orchestrated criminal deception, whereby businesses and livelihoods are being systematically destroyed in the name of a viral ‘pandemic’ which does not warrant the name. The owner of a fitness gym nearby decided, bravely, not to take defeat lying down and kept his place open. He was soon visited by police armed with tasers but remained steadfast nonetheless.  He will no doubt have his day in court. Within the area, there are reputed to be dozens of gyms, among many other small enterprises, whose owners and staff are prepared to defy the diktats of this increasingly authoritarian government. No one is more dangerous than he who has nothing left to lose.

Native Merseysiders are well known not only for being truculent and tenacious, but also for their biting humour. A few days ago, a friend told me of a stupendous act of contempt, towards the prime minister, his health secretary and chief political strategist, carried out by the landlord of my former local pub. Faced with financial oblivion, he has renamed the place ‘The Three Bellends’, in reference to those responsible for wrecking his livelihood. Unsure whether he would be instructed to remove his new signage, I decided to pay the place a visit (Figures 144.1 & 144.2).


Figure 144.1: Prior to being renamed, the pub, situated at the intersection of Victoria Road and Grosvenor Road, New Brighton, Wallasey, was known as ‘The James Atherton’, named after a Liverpool trader (1770-1838), and, back in the good old rowdy days of the early 1990s, ‘The Railway’.

From left to right: Dominic Cummings, political adviser, who, having broken lockdown laws by driving 25 miles, claimed he had done so purely to test his eyesight; Prime Minister Boris Johnson, an equally poor but persistent liar; and the staggeringly inept Matt Hancock, who would be out of his depth in a puddle.

The pub is, for the time being, still open, albeit with restrictions. If or when life reverts to normal, I have no doubt that it will be busier than ever.

The American naturalist and essayist Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) (Figure 144.3), whose works I have loved for decades, claimed that ‘disobedience is the true foundation of liberty’. Across the world, people are realizing that they have been played. If they can adhere to Thoreau’s wisdom, the entire COVID scam will surely fall apart. Human liberty itself has never been at such mortal risk. I long for the day when the whole world learns that this ‘novel’ coronavirus poses no greater threat to human life than does seasonal flu. Moreover, those individuals responsible for this disgusting hoax – bankers, Big Pharma suits, politicians and their advisers – must face charges of crimes against humanity. They must be given neither an excuse nor any place to hide.


Figure 144.3: Henry David Thoreau wrote a powerful, thought-provoking essay, Civil Disobedience’ (1849), in which he argued that individuals should not permit governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Were he alive today, I feel certain that he would be in open rebellion.

When history is written, it would give me colossal pleasure if it were the case that the first punches – or beer glasses, or snooker cues – thrown at the corrupt establishment body had emanated from the people of my hometown.

‘Worldwide rebellion, and the reassertion of human liberty, began in Wallasey, England.’

I like that.

Great Barrington Declaration

The worlds scientific community has, finally, begun to speak out against the hoax COVID-19 narrative. There has been widespread bewilderment, disgust and white-hot anger for months, but only now are scientists making their views known. Two days ago (Article 142), I referred to a statement made by the renowned trial lawyer, Dr Reiner Fuellmich, in which he exposes, soundly in terms of both science and international law, the nefarious strategies designed to exaggerate the danger of the plandemic. He also identifies the individuals and organizations responsible for this malicious deceit.

Dr Fuellmich already has some major scalps hanging from his wall, having exposed the Volkswagen emissions scandal and the cesspit of international corruption that is Deutsche Bank. It is only a matter of time before class action lawsuits are filed against a small but powerful cabal of psychopaths behind the current Orwellian dystopia. His targets will doubtless include crooked ‘scientific advisers, politicians and public health officials. The brave Dr Fuellmich is batting for free humanity.

Last Sunday, in the small American town of Great Barrington, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, a team of top scientists, headed by Oxford Universitys Sunetra Gupta, signed a Declaration (Figure 143.1) at the American Institute for Economic Research which stated that blanket lockdown had been, at best, futile, or actively harmful. The other authors were Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford University) and Martin Kulldorff (Harvard University), and cosignatories included 2013 Nobel Laureate Professor Michael Levitt.


Figure 143.1: The Declaration in full

For the most part, the Declaration is evidentially justified, recommending focused protection of those at increased risk of serious viral illness. I would, nonetheless, take issue with the suggestion that healthcare staff should undergo frequent PCR testing. Given that PCR is not a diagnostic test for any viral infection – I explained this in Article 141  the signatories ought to have known better.

Still, the Declaration is another step towards educating the world about the scandalous, and devastating, COVID-19 measures implemented for immoral purposes. I signed it yesterday (Figure 143.2), as did many of my colleagues, and I would urge everyone to do likewise.


Figure 143.2: As I write, there are 88,639 signatures. Yesterday afternoon, when I added my own, there were approximately 67,000.

The world is, at long last, being told the scandalous truth about the COVID scam.

COVID-19: Crimes Against Humanity?

The truth is on its way out. Two days ago, a prominent German trial lawyer, Dr Reiner Fuellmich, published a video (Figure 142.1) outlining a case to be pursued against the perpetrators of COVID-19 misinformation and those exploiting it for political and/or pecuniary gain. Class action lawsuits (or representative actions) could be forthcoming for several reasons. These include: invalid/unverified scientific claims (by the WHO and many governments) regarding exaggerated dangers of COVID-19; an inappropriate testing regimen (PCR, as discussed in Article 141) designed to produce false positive test results; widespread, unnecessary damage to social, economic and health standards; and human rights abuses.


Figure 142.1: Dr Reiner Fuellmich is gaining the support of scientists from all over the world. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, scientists have had research censored and have been systematically denied media platforms to put forward evidence-based views contradicting the fraudulent COVID narrative.

The Hoax That Is

Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.

Thus spoke the Scottish poet Charles Mackay (1814-89). His words ring true with regard to the public reaction to the COVID-19 ‘plandemic’. As every day passes, more of the British people are waking up from a mass media-induced trance. COVID-19 is, increasingly evidently, a low-risk disease, if it exists at all. Furthermore, the UK governments reaction has, all along, been steeped in utter mendacity.

Consider, first, mortality data. Suppose an individual tests positive for COVID-19, remains asymptomatic, then, twenty-seven days later, is killed in a road accident. This is, bizarrely, recorded as a COVID death. In Article 138, I cited Williams, Crookes, Glass and Glass (2020), who calculated that the true COVID-19 mortality rate is only a fraction of the official figure. This deception can only be deliberate.

Next, if we assess cases, it must be acknowledged that this term is being used, incorrectly, to describe positive tests, as opposed to respecting its true definition, which is symptomatic episodes requiring medical intervention. The test used is not actually a diagnostic test at all. It is called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Figure 141.1), which is an ingenious molecular technique used to amplify (replicate) small sections of genetic material. I have used this incredible discovery many times. Its multiple applications are fundamental to modern forensic, analytical and medical science. However, it is unable to differentiate: (a) live virus from dead viral material; (b) one coronavirus subgroup from any of the other three; or (c) a coronavirus from some other RNA viruses. In other words, PCR tests are of low specificity, leading to a significant proportion of false positive results. The governments advisers must know this as well as I do.


Figure 141.1: Dr Kary B. Mullis (1944-2019) pioneered the polymerase chain reaction technique and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993. I had the pleasure of meeting him six years ago at the Royal Institution of Great Britain (see Article 78). As well as being strikingly intelligent and an unrepentant maverick, his odd sense of humour was never far from the surface. Overall, in terms of intellect and attitude to life, Dr Mullis is possibly the most impressive person I have ever met. Were he still alive, I am certain that he would be appalled by the dishonest use of his great scientific invention.

Copyright © 2020 GeneOnline News

Perhaps the most devious method of inflating the cases figure is the unnecessarily high number of so-called PCR amplification cycles to produce a workable mass of genetic material from a tiny sample. The prescribed number of cycles is abnormally high, resulting inevitably in what may be termed exaggerated positives. The more a sample is replicated, the more likely the positivity threshold will be reached. Whoever designed this analytical protocol must be aware of the biochemical sleight-of-hand.

Currently, the number of cases is increasing. The reason for this is that more tests are being carried out  indeed, ten times as many as were being done six months ago. The ratio of positive tests to total tests has barely changed. The number of associated deaths and hospitalizations remains low and uncorrelated. There is neither reason nor evidence to suggest that there will be a second wave.

The COVID-19 rabbit hole becomes murkier still when considering who is behind all this systematic governmental deceit. Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty is a member of the UK Vaccine Network; and, while working at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, it received £40 million from the vaccine-pushing Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance was CEO of vaccine-researching GlaxoSmithKline (2012-8) and remains a prominent shareholder. Both are in blatant conflict of interest (Figure 141.2). As for Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College, whose initial doom-laden advice guided the government, he has serious form when it comes to scaremongering and being hopelessly wrong. Therefore, is the government inflating COVID-19 data in a desperate attempt to prolong public fear until some kind  any kind  of lucrative vaccine becomes available? It would appear that way.


Figure 141.2: Patrick Vallance (left), whom some politician inexplicably decided to recommend for a knighthood, and Chris Whitty have much to answer for. I cannot understand how any informed individual can take their word seriously. They are the very antithesis of the late Dr Mullis.

Throughout the plandemic’, the infantile term covidiot has been routinely used by mainstream media to describe those of us who refuse to swallow the official narrative. Name-calling has always been a calling card of those with no legitimate argument. Similarly, the term anti-vaxxer is thrown at those of us who would refuse the experimental injections. This is both facile and disingenuous.

My own scepticism is as follows. Despite much diligent laboratory work, there has never been an effective vaccine for any coronavirus, or, indeed, RNA viruses in general. (In the last decade, the seasonal influenza vaccine has been more than 50% effective only twice, and this a result of many years of dogged research.) For reasons of safety, in vitro vaccine research and associated clinical trials often take more than twelve years. Opposing the circumvention of standard safety protocols (to rush through a vaccine for a low-risk virus) does not equate to rejecting the principle of vaccination, which is, arguably, one of sciences greatest achievements.

Despite the dispiriting sight of (some) children exiting my sons schools with their faces covered by pieces of bacteria-ridden cloth (which do not prevent viral transmission but do serve to increase the viral load of the wearer), I am slightly more optimistic that people are beginning to realize that they are being played by the dark forces of a shamelessly authoritarian government. Back in the spring, I was unsure whether this dishonest narrative had been born merely of political incompetence, scientific illiteracy and a compulsion to cover up previous lies. I was unconvinced that it was a hoax from the beginning and hence reluctant to say so. My reluctance is no more. The hoax is there for those of us that are able to see it. Real eyes realize real lies!

Given the draconian removal of basic human rights and liberties on a false pretext, I sometimes wonder: if the Nazis had successfully invaded Britain in the 1940s, would they have treated us any worse than this?

A 150-year Aberration

DOUBLE-LENGTH ARTICLE

Fifteen miles from the south coast of a part of Great Britain is a riverside village which appears entirely at peace with itself. A narrow road bridge spans the 15-metre-wide river forming its eastern boundary. I am sitting with my younger son on a grey stone wall, listening to birdsong and the flowing water. On the riverside is a row of fairly new, detached houses which face the river, almost in reverence of this real-life picture postcard. The water is crystal clear. At the edge, we can see pebbles beneath the sparkling surface. Deeper, out of sight, is an abundance of marine life, including migratory fish  salmon, eels and brown trout  as well as countless species of water plants and invertebrates.

An unpaved footpath follows the river along its west bank. It extends beyond a small weir to a larger bridge, about half a mile north of here. There are a few medium-sized trees, all still in full leaf, and an expanse of lush grass visible as far as the river bend.

Turning to look west, away from the river, there are a few rows of narrow, terraced houses. Each row becomes slightly higher, as they progress up the valley side. These homes are old but immaculate. Their stonework is clean, sills appear freshly painted, all have modern doors and windows, and there are several baskets and window boxes overflowing with multicoloured surfinia petunias.

Nothing of this village is unsightly, but its benign appearance disguises a tragic past. Under greater scrutiny, its history cannot help but reveal itself. There are subtle signs here and there. The houses were not always built to face the river. Those old terraces were made to look the other way, in an era when the water was toxic with chemical waste and in which no living creatures could thrive. Their stone walls and slated roofs used to be discoloured by an even coating of pollution. Cleanliness might, to their former occupants, have been next to godliness, but it was also, for most of the time, next to impossible.

Walking westward up the hill, and looking back toward the river, something very unusual, and instantly unsettling, becomes apparent. The first house in the uppermost terrace is number eleven. Adjacent to it is a gently-sloping lawn, as wide as it would be if occupied by about five more similar-sized houses. A stepping-stone footpath separates this grassy wedge from a row of brick-walled houses further down, built circa 1970 and hence conspicuous alongside the truncated old terraced row. The gable end of number eleven has been reinforced, at front and back corners, with strong brick pillars dovetailed into the old stonework. That is the giveaway. This is Aberfan.

Aberfan used to be a mining village, dependent on the nearby Merthyr Vale Colliery, until its closure in 1989. In the year I was born, 1966, an unprecedented disaster unfolded. On the morning of Friday, 21st October, after heavy rainfall, 40,000 cubic metres of mining debris slid down the valley side, destroying a farm, a junior school and part of a row of terraced houses in a matter of seconds. The fast-moving slurry killed 144 people, of which 116 were children.

Since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, coal-mining had been a dangerous, disgusting, debilitating and degrading occupation. (For an honest overview, read Germinal by Emile Zola (1840-1902).) Every day that miners went to work, families could never be certain that their menfolk had not left home for the last time. Mining disasters in Britain were commonplace. Flooding, structural collapses and methane explosions regularly took thousands of lives and condemned thousands more to heartbreak and destitution. Some were caused by ‘acts of God’, others by the greed and negligence of Man. Aberfan, however, was hideously unique: for once, the mining industry spared its subterranean slaves ... and took away their children instead.

There is now a memorial garden where the school once stood. Its grey-stone, metre-tall perimeter walls demarcate the original rectangular classrooms (Figure 140.1). The tranquil interior is full of well-tended shrubs and flowerbeds (Figure 140.2), interspersed with polished wooden benches bearing thoughtful messages engraved on shiny metal plaques. Next to it is a playground full of young children. I cannot help but wonder to what extent they are aware of its history. They appear happy and carefree. From here, the abrupt end of the severed terrace on Moy Road looks even more stark. It is possible to outline the exact path of the 1966 landslide simply by noticing where the old ends and the new(er) begins (Figures 140.3 & 140.4).

There was one last place that we wanted to visit. Halfway up the steep western side of the valley lies Bryntaf Cemetery. It was here to where a generation of tough but broken miners carried the coffins of their own children through the rain of an grim October morning, more than half a century ago. Standing out against the weathered hillside are two rows of brilliant white arches, and, beneath them, pristine gravestones bearing excruciating epitaphs (Figure 140.5). Most convey pious messages, written by bereaved parents clinging desperately to the Christian doctrine (Figure 140.6). I would defy even the most cold-hearted, thick-skinned individual to spend a moment here and not be moved by it all.

The cemetery affords a panoramic view of the entire village and beyond. To the south, on a grassed roundabout, is the old winding wheel from the pit-head of Merthyr Vale Colliery, set immovably in concrete. Standing before it is a black sculpture of a coal miner holding a shovel (Figure 140.7). Across the valley, the eastern slopes are covered with tall trees and rolling fields. This is how it would have looked prior to industrialization, and how it will probably remain for the knowable future. Some new houses are under construction on the eastern side of the bridge. Eventually, the River Taff, with its unpolluted water and burgeoning wildlife, will become the central thread of Aberfan, taking pride of place, rather than a shameful eyesore which a coal-blackened village contrived to hide and ignore.

A few decades ago, coal-mining was a prominent, and seemingly permanent, feature in British economic and social life. However, it had been in decline since well before 1966. In the early 1980s, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher became a hated figure throughout mining communities when she outlined plans to decimate what was left of the industry. In truth, though, far more collieries were closed, and miners made unemployed, in the 1960s. Thatcher did not wield the biggest axe, only the final one.

In time, coal-mining in Britain will be viewed as an aberration, albeit one that lasted a century and a half and took the lives of 160,000 miners. Its terminal decline was probably inevitable, as a result of global markets and greener, cheaper energy alternatives. Todays generation of Aberfan residents are generally engaged in safer, cleaner employment. Nonetheless, the transformation from industrial to post-industrial was always going to be a traumatic process.

Aberfan is once again a picturesque representation of the natural world. The repulsive essence of coal-mining is now a matter only for scholars of history. The indescribable agony of Friday, 21st October, 1966 will fade in the collective memory to an eventual footnote. As my son and I gaze across the Taff Valley toward a green infinity, it seems all too easy to imagine that the former, dirty, industrial life of so many British villages was just a brief, nightmarish mirage (Figure 140.8).
