Opposition opening...

Yes, I am still alive; yes I wish I was blogging more. And yes there will be an opening for some decent U.K. Parliament 'Opposition' soon. It is simply too boring these days to get wound up about the tsunami of shit we are being asked to swallow or at least wade it. Today we can be pretty sure of one thing, Conservatives will be in opposition. 

Anyhoo...I discovered a new website (it may NOT be new, I mean I only just found it): The New Conservative where Alastair MacMillan writes about there being more reasons not to vote for the current shite outfit. In the 'About' page is exactly what I wish 'The Conservative Party' were (who are not conservative, Conservative or even remotely 'right wing'): 

• Government’s first duty to protect the citizenry 
• Unequivocal freedom of speech 
• Border control Fiscal responsibility 
• The state as servant, not master 
• The law applied without fear or favour 
• Low taxes 
• An end to grooming gangs & their cover-ups 
• A robust response to charlatan wokery 
• Economic stability before Green virtue-signalling 

Look at that! Hoorah! I could add a few things - e.g. en end to postal votes except for the previous sensible exemptions [military, disabled...] but what a start, actually being what the blue wing of the Uniparty should be.

Oppressed obedience...

Great article from the bad cat: [LINK] 

how we got to here 

how moral relativism destroyed sanity and how objectivity can bring it back [sic] 

"all this division and vilification and rage farming is coming from somewhere, and it really is new over the last 15 years or so."

"it's an iterative negative sum game where to stay on top, you always need to be "more oppressed than thou" and so it rapidly selects for the most broken, damaged, and bereft people and shunts them to the top by acting as though they are somehow virtuous for being disastrous human failures."

  i mean, how can that possibly end save the calamity of rule by the mentally ill?

Obscurantism: othering others II...

A quick follow up on yesterday re the Google AI project Gemini. It isn't only grossly racist, surprise surprise it is also a lefty twat censorship monster. 

It is patently a danger to freedom of speech and most definitely a censorship mis/disinformation beast: look at the Twitter thread from Texas Lindsay. It is also obvious that this is not a bug but a feature.

"Google’s Gemini AI isn’t just bias, it’s broken. Its responses are extremely offensive & arguably slanderous at times. Today, I tested it using it the exact same prompt each time, only changing names & these were the results." [sic]

That is the most obvious one but ALL are just as biased. Apologies if you do not follow politics across the pond.

Google's AI principles say that [2023 PDF] AI should avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias, also not to deceive users or misrepresent facts. Gemini itself says it is unable to generate responses that are biased or unfair...not working out too well, certainly the bias and censorship is a clear and present danger to any fair-minded person.

Othering others...

"The nightmare feeling caused by the disappearance of objective truth." 

Othering others, "WTF?!" would be a normal reaction. But oh my fucking GOD this is worse: Google are very, very dangerous, evil fuckwits. "Don't be evil" has become 'we are the definition of evil and fuck you whitey'. They are far more than Big Brother [quote above from this link, added 1600hrs] ever was, they have literal global cover, immense power. Their Gemini/AI is really scary. [Link to Twitter]

Andrew Torba on Twitter was all over it yesterday.

OMG, OOTW: ONS OBS...

---

It appears the UK Government's Office for National statistics (ONS) doesn't care what it looks like; I guess they know none of them will ever suffer any consequences: "We've led the development of a new method for estimating the number of excess deaths across UK countries". [ONS Twitter Link]. 

I BET you have, and I bet we all know why! Lots of number crunching going on [The Rustler on Twitter] but whichever way you look at it it doesn't look good for transparency and the Government hiding the stench of being directly responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of their own citizens...hmmm, OOTW? 

When you look at the last few 'pandemic' years [and The Naked Emperor has done that] it is 2023 that gets the whopping lie: almost 66% of deaths disappear under the new method: excess deaths are down from 31,442 to 10,994! Both 2020 and 2021 also change but are only down by about 10%, that said, with much larger numbers dying. And 2022 is in fact 11% higher under the new method.

If you look at the previous five years to 2020 it is even more interesting: before that the numbers were low-ish and irregular, up and down, but from 2015 (see red box in image below) they were consistently much, much higher: 115,102 over the five years (2015-2019). Look at the numbers AFTER using the new method: a total of...wait for it: 838! 

The much lower deaths of 2019 are now negative: "2019 saw excess deaths drop from 6,006 to -34,408, a drop of over 40,000." 

Even before all this I suspected that the mild death total for 2019 made up a large part of the the first COVID wave of death in Spring 2020, the 'dry tinder' effect. But why would they want to make it look like their ludicrous pandemic actions of lockdowns etc., were even less necessary? After all, now, with this new method we have over half the 2020 excess 'explained away' due to ultra low 2019 excess deaths...why would they want that? Like I've said before and above, it would be the lesser of two evils: admitting lockdowns weren't necessary and in fact caused misery and death...'oh dear, we're sorry and lessons will be learnt'. 

Sounds bad, BUT that is a lot better than admitting to the HUGE amount of death they really are DIRECTLY responsible for. 

Ontario's Orangeville Otters outrage...

First things first: a man cannot be a women, ever. Or vice versa. No amount of hormones or operations can do that. This story from December last year but I only read about it today. "A 50-year-old professor has been allowed to identify himself into a swimming league for schoolgirls".

Hat-tip: Dr. Lidiya Angelova's Substack Genuine Prospect. 

Source: [SP¡KED] from last week. 

On immediate reading you'd be forgiven for asking are Swimming Canada and Swim Ontario child abusers? Are they paedophiles? There can be NO other reason they would both think it's okay for an adult man to compete against teenage girls in swimming:  "Swimming Canada and SO believe swimming is for everyone." [Swim Ontario Statement]. 

FFS! Great, we all think that too but clearly they don't think teenage girls have the right to compete only against other teenage girls.

No doubt you know-who would approve: 'Only one oasis': 'just a waterhole', or juste en trou d'eau in French, which of course is Justin Trudeau (I'll get my coat...).

OHS obscurantism; OMG!...

"Above is a table of all-cause mortality data from the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS). The figures are broken down by age and sex." [LINK to HART] 

There are previous numbers and previous graphs from end 2019 to Spring 2020. We know in various countries and from many reports, SARS CoV 2 was circulating in mid 2019,... maybe before. In the UK we know it was around from January 2020. "If the virus were as infectious and deadly as we have been led to believe, why were people dying at close to the normal rate in March, but at an exceptionally high rate in April?" We know why, don't we?

"The sound of silence

More generally, why has there been so little serious discussion of excess deaths during the last two years? Why are government ministers and journalists and medics and church leaders so slow to speak out about this? Where are the likes of Whitty and Vallance? Where are the government press conferences? Where is the Opposition?"

It is simply not good enough to try to forget this, or obfuscate. Those responsible MUST be held to account. BUT those responsible control the present; "Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future."

"Covid vaccine status 

As I understand it, the ONS also possesses this data broken down by covid vaccine status, and they have supplied it in that form (presumably anonymised) to pharmaceutical companies. Why is such data not being released to the public who paid the taxes to fund its collection? If we really have had a “safe and effective vaccine”, this would be a straightforward way to demonstrate it from real-world data (as distinct from dubious modelling)."

Oxford's obdurate orthodoxy...

Happy New Year! [edited for typos etc., 1400hrs] The blog title does not refer to the beautiful city of Oxford nor the wonderful university there, although the former and the latter have a lot to answer for. 

No, this is about some Oxford chumps living in the past and pushing cult dogma: 1. Bishop of Oxford last month called for govt crackdown on climate change sceptics (FFS, as if they haven't done enough damage to their own religion without pushing another); 2. Oxford Academics' BioScience saying the public has failed climate hysteric alarmism and that now "time is up". [Jeez...]. 

Meanwhile Patrick Moore, "chairman and chief scientist of Ecosense Environmental and co-founder of Greenpeace, the climate change messaging isn’t based in fact"... "The whole thing is a total scam". 

I know who I believe. Hat-tip The Naked Emperor.
