“Internment. Mandatory medication. Segregation of whole sections of society. Mass sackings. A drumbeat media consensus. The systematic censoring of dissent. The deliberate creation by the state and the press of a climate of fear and suspicion. What could possibly justify this?”
“Covid-19 is a nasty illness which should be taken seriously, especially by those especially vulnerable to it. But it is nowhere near dangerous enough - if anything could be - to justify the creation of a global police state.”
So it’s rational to ask if it’s just a pretext.
“As for the [waxings] - well, let's just acknowledge that [waxination] has become a subject which it is virtually impossible to discuss with any calmness or clarity, at least in public.”
In an open letter, an employee of German public broadcaster ARD for 12 years is critical of one and a half years of Corona coverage: Ole Skambraks claims these questions do not get the attention they should ... 0/
1. Why do we know so little about “gain of function research” (which aims at making viruses more dangerous to humans)?
2. Why does the new Infection Protection Act state that the basic right to bodily integrity and the inviolability of one’s home may be restricted henceforth – even without an epidemic situation?
Having been astonished lately to find a seemingly anti-censorship organisation - @IndexCensorship - publishing defamatory nonsense *advocating* censorship, it is an intellectual relief, if a serious ethical & political concern, to learn it's spook-fed. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/weeken…
It's part of a wider problem: 'The infiltration & manipulation of press freedom & human rights groups by the intelligence services is merely an extension of the cold war efforts to ensure that they remain largely ineffective & steer any campaign into safe, apolitical liberalism.'
Edward Said reflected on the wider problem of 'the insidious intellectual abuses of American power' in this book review from 1999: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v21/…
The big question here is: Why is CIJA (Commission for International Justice and Accountability) mounting an elaborate sting operation on the citizen investigator?
Here are McKeigue's statement and earlier questions to CIJA director: syriapropagandamedia.org/personal-state… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-565256…
CIJA - and Tsamota, a group of companies with the same director - were previously investigated by European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). CIJA has been funded by several governments, including UK.
In the news last year:
CIJA's operation has also been investigated by @MaxBlumenthal and @BenjaminNorton for Grayzone, who found it 'collaborated with al-Qaeda to wage lawfare on Syria'.
Why have upwards of 20 articles been produced attacking those of us who are questioning important aspects of UK propaganda operations? Several of these are by Dominic Kennedy (listed in Integrity Initiative documents) for the Times. off-guardian.org/2020/10/06/the…
The Times's first hit on the the Working Group - by Kennedy & colleagues - was the very morning US, UK and France were bombing Syria in response to the allegations of a chemical attack on Douma.
Three years on, distinguished and honourable public figures are expressing their deep concern at how the OPCW report on Douma was nobbled by those whose justification for the bombing is challenged by the truth.
