These are some initial thoughts on why the so-called ‘Freedom Movement’ has been betrayed by some of its most prominent spokesmen in response to the genocide being committed in Gaza, and what this tells us about future forms of resistance to the Great Reset.

Firstly, there is no such thing as Freedom, only the freedoms we defend; and the idea that the last 40 years of Neoliberalism under which we lived in the UK were ‘free’ shows the political naivety of those who have only recently woken up to the conditions of our freedoms.

What freedoms we enjoyed were bought at the cost of the lack of freedom of a far larger number of people, and in almost every form extended no further than the freedom to believe the lies we were told, to buy what we were sold, and to obey what we were compelled by law to do.

Nonetheless, lockdown and the mandates on masking and gene therapy represented a quantitative leap in the erasure of our freedoms that was genuinely unprecedented, and caused many public figures that were otherwise quite content in their capitalist paradise to rebel.

This rebellion, first and foremost, was against the restrictions on their freedom to continue to enjoy their status within UK capitalism. And since the unfailingly cretinous Left was busy complying, these unlikely figures emerged to fill the vaccum in leadership in resistance.

Having no interest in UK society, I hadn’t heard of most of these figures before, but you probably know who I mean: Andrew Bridgen, Claire Fox, Toby Young, Allison Pearson, Laura Dodsworth, Mark Dolan, Laurence Fox, Tom Slater, Konstantin Kisin, Julia Hartley-Brewer, etc.

These are all politicians and hacks, and therefore, as required by their trade, liars, careerists and opportunists. I, for one, wasn’t in the least surprised that, when Gaza offered them the opportunity, they returned to the embrace of the establishment that spawned them.

However, among those denouncing criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, swallowing everything the media says, calling for a ban on protests, and demanding new laws to silence dissent — and in every respect behaving as the COVID-faithful behaved towards them — are some good people.

Among these I include the barrister, Francis Hoar, and the pathologist, Dr. Clare Craig. I know these two to be intelligent and moral people, and yet the former helped draft and organise, and the latter is one of the signaturies, of the October Declaration.

This was published by British Friends of Israel, a Zionist organisation that, like all the others given 24/7 coverage in the UK media, is drawing on every racist stereotype, every deep-seated hatred of Arabs and Islam bred into the British psyche, to justify the genocide in Gaza.

This disturbs, confuses and upsets me, and for the past month I’ve been trying to understand how intelligent and moral people, who for the past 4 years risked their careers to defend our freedoms, have so readily added their voices to the hatred and barbarity of Zionism.

Zionism is an ideology, and as such it is founded on sentimentality and hatred, not on rational argument or historical facts. I won’t repeat my line-by-line criticism of the October Declaration, but it repeats every emotive appeal and racist stereotype of Zionism.

My first question, therefore, is how intelligent people can put their names to the repetition of such a document, which would not look out of place among the lies published by the UK Govt, media, SAGE, MHRA, etc to justify lockdown, mask mandates and the gene therapy programme.

The second question is how, in the face of the documented genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza, moral people can both condone and deny its extent with the same justifications with which the COVID-compliant deny the ‘vaccine’ deaths and justify the terrible cost of lockdown.

The short answer to the first question is that, when intelligent people are ‘triggered’ by ideology, they respond just as stupidly, obediently and viciously as the mass of the British population did in the first months of lockdown, gene therapy or the proxy war in the Ukraine.

The bigger question, therefore, is what is it about this particular event that has brought so many people who for the past 4 years denounced everything the Govt and media told us as a lie into sudden and total compliance with everything the same institutions are telling us now.

There’s a longer answer to this, which includes the hatred of Islam inculcated by 20 years of the War on Terror, fear of the rising levels of immigration into the UK, and the equation of terrorists with Muslims that has returned after their recent equation with ‘anti-vaxxers’.

I think also that, among Christians, there is a sense of guilt and culpability for the Church’s complicity in what it has designated as the ‘Holocaust’: a Biblical term that turns the genocide of the Jews into a sacrifice, a crime expiated by the suffering of the Palestinians.

In other worse, the emotions being triggered to create allegiance to the UK’s criminal and indefensible support for the apartheid State of Israel and its genocidal treatment of the Palestinian people are a product of decades of indoctrination preparing us for just such a moment.

Part of that indoctrination is the strategy of identity politics. Many Zionists have pointed to the fact that Israel shares Western policies on LGBT rights, as opposed to those of Hamas, which as a fundamentalist Islamic movement opposes those rights.

This is part of the facade that Israel presents to the world that it is a shining light of liberal democracy amid the growing darkness of the Islamic Caliphate, just as Ukraine presents itself as a bastion of democracy defending Europe against Russian aggression. Both are lies.

In fact, both Israel and the Ukraine are testing grounds, to which the West has given its approval, funding and military support, for the transformation of the space of the sovereign nation state into a digital camp monitored and controlled by Digital ID and CBDC.

It’s a testimony to how fully identity politics has substituted itself for the politics of emancipation that even those who continue to oppose the technologies and ideologies of the biosecurity state have been suborned into compliance with the wars on which it is being founded.

What does this mean for the ongoing resistance to the Great Reset and the possibility of a future Freedom Movement, whose death, foreshadowed by the proxy-war in the Ukraine, can very accurately be dated to 7 October, 2023?

I can’t answer this now; but any hopes we have of resistance to the Great Reset must be formed in the context of the failure of the Freedom Movement to form itself into a political force, and of the ease with which the dilettantes by which it was led have been brought to heel.
