WHO : The Coviditarian Elite

As Ms McVey points out in the video above, the WHO is an unelected and largely privately funded bureaucracy, controlled by the big pharmaceutical corporations. Its decisions will always be influenced by the profit motive, and they should certainly not be allowed to accrue more power than they already have. Its decisions during the pandemic, including the enthusiasm for lockdowns, caused untold damage to the welfare of populations worldwide, far in excess of any health benefits, which are debatable to say the least. The damage done by rushed-through programmes of inadequately tested experimental vaccines is unquantified, but urgently in need of investigation.

This EU parliamentary conference, particularly the contribution from Dr Malone, should have been headline news all over the world, especially in the “free” West, but its conclusions have been suppressed by mainstream media and governments. It’s not difficult to see why.

Necessary Heresy

Is the West forever stained by racism ? Are we all going to die from climate change ? Can a woman have a penis ? To the liberal establishment of London and New York the answer to all of these questions is ‘Yes’ ; .and anyone who disagrees is a racist, climate-denying transphobe.

Our elites have become convinced of some very strange and extreme ideas. And yet there is precious little pushback against them. Critics self-censor or are silenced by the threat of shaming, cancellation or even arrest. The new orthodoxies of our age are risible, and yet the space for dissent is shrinking.

Historically, it has always been those brave enough to puncture the prevailing groupthink who have propelled society forward, but they are in shockingly short supply today.

Brendan O’Neill makes the case for heresy in a new collection of essays, which will, of course, be reviled, (or more likely ignored) by ‘our’ corporate media when it is published next month.

I intend to read it before it is banned by the new Inquisition.

Don’t Back the Tories on Ukraine

Quite rightly, most left-leaning people would not give Sunak, Johnson or Truss a minute’s credit on any other political issue. To assume that on the Ukraine war their policy somehow aligns with the interests of Ukrainian workers and progressives is illogical.

Sunak et al have no interest whatsoever in improving ordinary peoples’ prospects in Ukraine. They will back to the hilt the prevalent authoritarian neoliberalism in Kiev – a regime which has banned nearly all left-wing political parties, including the Communist Party of Ukraine, Left Opposition, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, and the Union of Left Forces. Many of these had significant support in the country and considerable parliamentary representation, but all have been driven out of political life for being “pro-Russian”. In addition Zelensky has just signed into law new rules removing all trade union rights and collective bargaining from workers in workplaces of under 250 employees, around 70% of the total workforce.

Under these circumstances, the claim by some on the left that they are “against imperialism east or west” is delusional. Like it or not, they are aligning themselves with NATO and globalist capitalism.

Must Miss Movies : “The Woman King” and “Blonde”

As the vast majority of people nowadays learn history mainly (often only) through the prism of fictionalised media, it is scandalous and unforgivable that films like the newly released “The Woman King” ignore real African history altogether, and instead cater to the white, progressive demand for one-dimensional caricatures of black victimhood.

The complexities of the slave trade do not fit neatly into the simplistic worldview of Western cultural elites. For them, black people are victims of history rather than participants in it. ”The Woman King” reflects this worldview by erasing the fact that vast numbers of slaves were held by Africans long before Europeans arrived, and that nearly four million slaves were sold by Africans to European traders between 1801 and 1866.

For the truth about the slave trade, I recommend Hugh Thomas’s classic history “The Slave Trade”, rather than the simplistic fiction peddled by travesties like this film, where all available real history, including first-hand written accounts, is erased. In its place, the film aims to reinforce the most superficial aspects of modern identity politics, with black female heroes and white European villains.

“The Woman King” is an inversion of history. It portrays violent African slave-traders as freedom-fighting abolitionists. It shows all black people as the righteous oppressed, and all white people as evil oppressors. It is perverse, and it is dangerous.

“Blonde”, the recently released biopic of Marilyn Monroe, is yet another Hollywood travesty. Marilyn’s life should not be defined merely by her supposed ‘victimhood’, and she was most certainly no ‘dumb blonde’. She was an avid reader with an extensive personal library, and embraced radical left-wing politics throughout her short life, which was terminated when she threatened to expose secrets she had learned through her affairs with the Kennedy brothers. She was a rare beauty inside and out and deserves better than this exploitative Hollywood trash.

The ‘Over-Population’ Myth

”The human population can no longer be allowed to grow in the same old uncontrolled way. If we do not take charge of our population size, then nature will do it for us. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it’s time we controlled the population to allow the survival of the environment.” ~ Sir David Attenborough

”I think the tipping point has been reached. There can’t be more people on the Earth than we can feed.” ~ Sir Bob Geldof

”The problem is that the population is growing the fastest where people are less able to deal with it. So it’s in the very poorest places that you’re going to have a tripling in population by 2050.. And we’ve got to make sure that we help out with the tools now so that they don’t have an impossible situation later.” ~ Bill Gates

”The population problem must be recognized by the government as a principal element in long-range planning.” ~ John D. Rockefeller

”In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.” ~ Prince Philip

NO, Attenborough,
NO, Geldof,
NO, Gates,
NO, Rockefeller,
NO, Philip,

No, No, No !

There are NOT ”too many people” on the planet. There is plenty of room for many more and easily enough resources for all.

The problem is the grotesquely inequitable distribution of resources.

The over-population myth is simply a stratagem of the global corporatist elite, distracting attention from the real existential crisis and their responsibility for it.

Elizabeth II

I have always been, and will always remain a staunch republican, but I think the Queen deserves at least some respect for representing virtues which regrettably have long fallen out of fashion.

She committed herself to duty and service over self-indulgence and egotism, and to stoicism over the tiresome modern fashion for soul-baring.

Having said that, I hope that her passing is the beginning of the end for the ludicrous and anachronistic institution of monarchy.

The Terrorist State

Ever since its formation in 1948, the state of Israel’s behaviour towards its Arab neighbours, and the inhabitants of the territories it occupies, has consistently been characterised by a level of inhumanity and depravity more egregious than is considered ”normal” even in conditions of war — whether it be killing unarmed demonstrators, journalists and medics in Gaza and the West Bank, torturing and sexually harassing Palestinians in Israeli prisons; [https://www.thejerusalemfund.org/…/sexual-harassment… ]; imprisoning children; deliberately bombing civilians – or here in this photograph from the 1967 war, humiliating Egyptian prisoners by removing their clothes and force-marching them in their underwear before killing them.

The relentless attempts to conflate criticism of Israel with anti-semitism must never be allowed to succeed, or justice for the Terrorist State’s countless victims over the decades will never be served.

Einstein Unveiled

I’ve come to the conclusion that Albert Einstein was a bit of a fraud all round. I am no mathematician, but ultimately (so I’ve read), E=mc2 is not so much a relationship between two distinct quantities as it is a statement of equivalence. The factor, c2, is simply a conversion factor, nothing more. In formulations most useful to theorists, c=1, so the equation becomes simply E=m. Energy and mass are the same, and the famous equation, ‘elegant’ though it may seem, is at best a mere tautology, or even worse, according to the authentic genius Nikola Tesla (see below), it is just plain wrong.

Having read somewhere that Einstein on his death-bed nominated ”Isis Unveiled’‘ by Madame Helena Blavatsky as his favourite book, and being myself hitherto unfamiliar with the writings of Madame B., the founder of the ‘Theosophical Movement’, I somewhat rashly decided to buy a copy of the book to check it out. It really is the most pretentious, nonsensical rubbish – (a sample here from the end of Chapter 5, which is as far as I got).

Nikola Tesla on Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity

Tesla described Relativity as “a beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a king.”

In support of his statement he cited a number of experiments he had conducted, he said, as far back as 1896 on the cosmic ray. He has measured cosmic ray velocities from Antarus, he said, which he found to be fifty times greater than the speed of light, thus demolishing, he contended, one of the basic pillars of the structure of relativity, according to which there can be no speed greater than that of light.

“The theory is a mass of errors and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense.”

“The theory wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved.”

~ “Tesla, 79, Promises to Transmit Force.” New York Times, July 11, 1935.

It turns out that Einstein’s real ”genius” was for self-aggrandizement and publicity.
