🧵PROTESTS: ARE WE GETTING IT RIGHT?đź¦
I’m probably going to get pelters in some quarters for this but I feel it needs to be said.
I’ve often defended the protest organisers, however, I feel yesterday they got it badly wrong in London. Damagingly so.
I’m going to tell you why👇🏻

When I attended the march back in April, the beauty was the sheer diversity of people in attendance (as I wrote about at the time).
June and July was the same. You don’t attract a diverse crowd like that by focusing on niche topics — you do it by targeting key central themes.

Themes like lockdown, like vaccine passports, and like bodily autonomy/mandatory vaccinations. Issues that have a solid foundation from which to argue our point of view; issues which, with some gentle persuasion, members of the public at large could/should get energised about.
🧵JOURNALISM IS DEADđź¦
Yesterday we all saw why.
For 16 months the government & its scientific advisors have avoided any kind of scrutiny. The Downing Street press conference sham is evidence; where “journalists” ask narrative-driven, pre-prepared & sanctioned questions👇🏻

When have you ever heard them ask about the China lab leak? About natural immunity? About the risks of the vaccines? About the flawed PCR tests? About the cost/benefit analysis of lockdowns? About the impartiality of SAGE? About the planned lies and fear? Never, is the answer.
Those questions are only ever asked by the public on forums like Twitter- never by journalists - & even then Big Tech censor many of these important questions.
The result has been the rise of the Covid cult (đź’™), of covidians, a movement steeped in ideology rather than science.

📸🧵THE ONLY “PANDEMIC” IS A PANDEMIC OF HYPOCRISYđź¦
The (powerful) people who have convinced you that draconian restrictions on your civil liberties are necessary to protect you from a killer pandemic are the same people who seem unconcerned about the rules themselves. More👇🏻

The controlled and morally bankrupt politicians mandate you to wear dehumanising face coverings, whilst refusing to do the same because the rules don’t apply to them. The deadly pandemic differentiates between classes of citizens, apparently. But at least they have warning tape..
They invoke war rhetoric as they demand you don’t leave your local area, raising panic and fear. Then they leave their own local areas at will. Why? Because, of course, they are politicians and the rules of the pandemic don’t apply to them.
🧵IS THIS THE FUTURE YOU WANT?🤖
The Government has published a 110-page report on the future of human augmentation (HA), dubbed the “binding agent between the unique skills of humans & machines.”
It covers genetic engineering, future warfare, & brain-computer interfaces etc.👇🏻

In an Exec Summary, the Ministry of Defence paper says “we cannot wait for the ethics of human augmentation to be decided for us, we must be part of the conversation now. The ethical implications are significant but not insurmountable; early & regular engagement is essential.”
In the same section, it goes on to state “ethical perspectives on human augmentation will change and this could happen quickly.
“There may be a moral obligation to augment people, particularly in cases where it promotes wellbeing or protects us from novel threats.”

🧵MEDIA IS THE VIRUSđź¦
I wonder whether, when @cydneyyeates of @Metro_Ents began her career in journalism, she really believed she would end up resorting to writing complete fabrications.
I don’t mean “I didn’t like what she wrote” I mean total lies👇🏻

Firstly, the 2nd and 3rd paragraph have just been copied and pasted from any government press release on vaccines. It gives a glimpse into the lack of actual “journalism” happening here. As a former journo myself, I can tell you that “word herder” is a far better description.
But of course the main lie here is the attempt to completely switch realities and discredit the only person in that discussion (@beverleyturner) who was actually speaking the truth. Not my truth, the unarguable, demonstrable truth.
I’m sick of the mainstream media lying so👇🏻
