Obnubilation or overtly offing oldies?...

---

Hidden in plain sight...This article last week from Alex Berenson (his Wiki page editors will be made to eat their words sometime soon) caused a storm: "Vaccinated English adults under 60 are dying at twice the rate of unvaccinated people the same age"..."And have been for six months. This chart may seem unbelievable or impossible, but it's correct, based on weekly data from the British government". The fact checker shad a field day with some valid objections...these were fine and correct BUT but couldn't hole the data 'below the waterline'. The image below caused the furour and as he reported back then the graph is correct based on the data [UK Gov pdf.]

Now Alex has followed up, acknowledging the objections and answering them: the title from last week withstands the inspection, it is valid. Please read it all. 

"What’s behind the rise in those deaths in the vaccinated elderly? We don’t know. But we’d better find out. Especially since we are now stuffing boosters into their arms."

Something is wrong.

Oh? OMG! Omicron!!...

The point of the image is at the end of the blog-post...if you can't be bothered with all the great info :-)

So just as the sheeple were thinking the restrictions were a thing of the past, just as news that the lack of problems in most Africa seem to be making the news (there are good logical reasons why), just as you booked your Christmas party...da da daaaahhh.. a new deadly variant pops up, and suddenly all over the place (6-10 countries), and is a "variant of concern", WHO...well, viruses going viral, by the time a variant is identified it will have already spread far and beyond where it was identified. Whoda thunk it? Plus of course the new scary deadly more contagious variant is also in - in fact first detected in - the fully vaccinated. 

Alastair Cavendish (at British Freedom..no, not what you think!) writes of The Ogre: "Every single institution; the House of Commons, the House of Lords, the courts, the police force, the scientific and medical establishment, the BBC and the rest of the legacy media, is rotten beyond redemption. The known rules of ancient liberty are no longer generally known, let alone observed."

... Experience, however, tells me that [politicians] will not. The type of people who seek power, and who are prepared to lie and flatter and backstab their way to it over decades of ignominy are not likely to leave their better-adjusted fellow citizens in peace." 

"The Ogre stalks with hands on hips,
While drivel gushes from his lips..." 

Dare I quote Julia Hartley-Brewer (on Twitter) re Bozo's press conference and the brave honest timid cowed complicit media: "Every sodding question at this press conference is 'why aren't you going further, bringing in more rules?'" 

Also interesting stuff from Michael Curzon, writing on Bournbrook:

"From what we do know so far, this press conference was unnecessary. The ramping up of restrictions, including those relating to masks, is reactionary. But regardless of this, Britons will now be that little bit more scared ...

... whether that be about the ruining of (another) Christmas or a fear of Covid itself, or, of course, both.

Ooh, and by the way – we are told that the measures will be reviewed in three weeks (when the number of Omicron case in Britain will, inevitably, have risen). Do you reckon this review will see restrictions being taken away, or new restrictions being added to the pile?"

Finally, Andrew Lilico in The Spectator: "The tyranny of Boris Johnson’s mask mandate", and don't be fooled, it is very clearly tyranny: "Absent any emergency justification, the imposition on the public is simple tyranny." 

"It is not legitimate to restrict our liberties in this way 'just in case'." 

"The coronavirus emergency is over – and it has been over for months. There is no plausible justification for introducing mask mandates at this time."

The image above suggests SARS CoV 2 has been 'only' endemic for most of this year, certainly positive testing below 5% would suggest that (present but manageable).

Obedible ovine or objicient oblocutor...

Interesting and worrying stuff from the increasing quoted and watched Neil Oliver on the UK's GB NEWS (from last saturday, 20th Nov). Read it all. 

"Mark Twain said history doesn’t repeat but it rhymes." In Austria the unthinkable is happening; 'they have history' you say, but "Other countries – Germany, the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy – are on the same path as Austria, towards locking down the unvaccinated." This in the patent and-becoming-more-obvious-every-day [accidentally-on-purpose ignoring of the fact] that the unvaccinated pose no risk whatsoever. 

Many of those unvaccinated were therefore working in shops and cafes and restaurants and so on – as lowly servants, if you will – but as soon as their shifts ended they could not be in those same places, certainly not as customers. 

Ludicrous, illogical...sinister. 

We turn blind eyes and deaf ears to uncounted numbers of girls raped and abused in Rotherham and other towns all over England, for fear of upsetting community relations. We promise never to forget the Holocaust while simultaneously turning a blind eye to the abuse, perhaps genocidal abuse, of the Uyghur Muslims in China. 

Neil has words that match my own and many others: "How on earth have we got here, and so quickly?". The totalitarian bent [as you can see from previous posts isn't solely using COVID] has come to the fore and Lord Acton's phrase is so true: "All power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely." In 20 months the direction of travel hasn't changed but the sidle has become a gallop. 

Coming to a town near you: "...we have a moral obligation to disobey unjust laws". 

Will you obey or will you object?

[Update 23.11.21.]: Lord Sumption in the Telegraph, "Europe's latest wave of Covid authoritarianism has set a dangerous new precedent". 

"The absence of moral scruple in pursuit of what is thought to be a public good is the first symptom of totalitarianism"
