That is funny....

....because it's true.


That website somehow has the feel of a Yes Men production, to me.

WATCH: A Tale of Two Januarys

This short film, written and narrated by political consultant Jeffrey Peel, compares the UK death toll of January 2015 with this month just past, and asks are we truly in the middle of a pandemic? Or has mass PCR testing simply created a monster with no body?

While you may not agree with every position he takes, there’s no ignoring his figures, or his concern about the personal liberties of every British citizen.
The video is available on YouTube and Vimeo, and we suggest you download a copy if you can because it may be taken down. You can also follow the author/narrator Jeffrey Peel on twitter.

I have a gift for both you and this thread. That is to say...check out the following link (if you dare) to the file of someone who has a collection of documentaries at the Odysee channel:

The QuantumRhino Archive
https://odysee.com/@QuantumRhino:9?page=1

Pretty cool, yeah?
~~~~~

Started out searching the RI forum for the word - Chemtrails, because I had come across an article on a newly discovered website called State of the Nation. Now you're going to have to excuse me if this turns out to be some Neo-Nazi disinformation hell-hole, pretending it isn't,...it's getting hard to tell these days... they claim to have no "political affiliation".

State of the Nation
Posted on May 1, 2021
“The Chemtrails Must Be Stopped,
Geoengineering Must Be Terminated”

https://stateofthenation.co/?p=63120


In searching for "chemtrails", came across a post from Chump:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=40491&p=640108&hilit=FrankenSkies#p640108
which happened to link to a Youtube video, now removed. Fortunately Chump gave a description of the video...
Published on Jun 20, 2017

... FrankenSkies
is an 80 minute social change documentary regarding the Solar Geoengineering/Chemtrail agenda that affects every living being on earth...


Soooo...I took the title of the video over to the not-youtube video hosting service, in this case, Odysee and (just like the first post of this thread) found a treasure trove of platforms, and the first one turned out to be The QuantumRhino Archive.

https://odysee.com/$/search?q=FrankenSkies
Enjoy the collection. Let me know if you find something worthwhile...fellow Fool.

While I'm here, doing my best to contribute to our forum of Discussions, I only have this to say about my method of posting these days. I have been repeatedly chastised for the good ol' copy-paste method of approach to many of the topics on the board. Well, just be glad it's not a daily deluge of crap being posted. I only post crap every now and again. But when I do, I do my best to stay on topic and I try to bring articles of interest from better writers than myself.

idk if you have noticed, but I'm not the best writer in the world. For one thing, I use to word "I" and "me" too much.

Point is...I have been here a very long time, so if you don't know me by now, then hang it up. Okay?

When I first came to RI, I was interested in sharing ideas and digging deeper into the why and how of things with people of like mind.

For example: This is my first post from Sept. '06:
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=5827&p=53862&hilit=terryintacoma#p53862

but you can't read much of what terryintacoma had to say because it was from jeffs old blog and somehow didn't transfer to the newer forum where I changed names to Username ... (later that year).
following this last post by terryintacoma on the same Sinister Forces thread as above

I'm out of time, but I'm going to leave you a few more links to past threads to show that my opinion and life history have already been expressed.

Second Stage Terror Wars

by Edward Curtin
May 11th, 2021


Image
We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.
– William Casey, CIA Director, February. 1981


It is well known that the endless U.S. war on terror was overtly launched following the mass murders of September 11, 2001 and the linked anthrax attacks. The invasion of Afghanistan and the Patriot Act were immediately justified by those insider murders, and subsequently the wars against Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. So too the terrorizing of the American people with constant fear-mongering about imminent Islamic terrorist attacks from abroad that never came.

It is less well known that the executive director of the U.S. cover story – the fictional 9/11 Commission Report – was Philip Zelikow, who controlled and shaped the report from start to finish.

It is even less well known that Zelikow, a professor at the University of Virginia, was closely associated with Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush, Dickey Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Brent Scowcroft, et al. and had served in various key intelligence positions in both the George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush administrations. In 2011 President Obama named him to his President’s Intelligence Advisory Board as befits bi-partisan elite rule and coverup compensation across political parties.

Perhaps it’s unknown or just forgotten that The Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission repeatedly called for Zelikow’s removal, claiming that his appointment made a farce of the claim that the Commission was independent.

Zelikow said that for the Commission to consider alternative theories to the government’s claims about Osama bin Laden was akin to whacking moles. This is the man, who at the request of his colleague Condoleezza Rice, became the primary author of (NSS 2002) The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, that declared that the U.S. would no longer abide by international law but was adopting a policy of preemptive war, as declared by George W. Bush at West Point in June 2002. This was used as justification for the attack on Iraq in 2003 and was a rejection of the charter of the United Nations.

So, based on Zelikow’s work creating a magic mountain of deception while disregarding so-called molehills, we have had twenty years of American terror wars around the world in which U.S. forces have murdered millions of innocent people. Wars that will be continuing for years to come despite rhetoric to the contrary. The rhetoric is simply propaganda to cover up the increasingly technological and space-based nature of these wars and the use of mercenaries and special forces.

Simultaneously, in a quasi-volte-face, the Biden administration has directed its resources inward toward domestic “terrorists”: that is, anyone who disagrees with its policies. This is especially aimed at those who question the COVID-19 story.

Now Zelikow has been named to head a COVID Commission Planning Group based at the University of Virginia that is said to prepare the way for a National COVID Commission. The group is funded by the Schmidt Futures, the Skoll Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and Stand Together, with more expected to join in. Zelikow, a member of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Development Program Advisory Panel, will lead the group that will work in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Stand together indeed: Charles Koch, Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, the Rockefellers, et al. funders of disinterested truth.

So once again the fox is in the hen house.

If you wistfully think the corona crisis will soon come to an end, I suggest you alter your perspective. Zelikow’s involvement, among other things, suggests we are in the second phase of a long war of terror waged with two weapons – military and medical – whose propaganda messaging is carried out by the corporate mainstream media in the pursuit of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. Part one has so far lasted twenty years; part two may last longer. You can be certain it won’t end soon and that the new terrorists are domestic dissidents.

Did anyone think the freedoms lost with The Patriot Act were coming back some day? Does anyone think the freedoms lost with the corona virus propaganda are coming back? Many people probably have no idea what freedoms they lost with the Patriot Act, and many don’t even care.

And today? Lockdowns, mandatory mask wearing, travel restrictions, requirements to be guinea pigs for vaccines that are not vaccines, etc.?

Who remembers the Nuremberg Codes?

And they thought they were free, as Milton Mayer wrote about the Germans under Hitler. Like frogs in a pot of cold water, we need to feel the temperature rising before it’s too late. The dial is turned to high heat now.

But that was so long ago and far away, right? Don’t exaggerate, you say. Hitler and all that crap.

Are you thankful now that government spokespeople are blatantly saying that they will so kindly give us back some freedoms if we only do what they’re told and get “vaccinated” with an experimental biological agent, wear our masks, etc.? Hoi polloi are supposed to be grateful to their masters, who will grant some summer fun until they slam the door shut again.

Pfizer raked in $3.5 billion from vaccine sales in the first quarter of 2021, the first three months of the vaccine rollouts, and the company projects $26 billion for the year. That’s one vaccine manufacturer. Chump change? Only a chump would not realize that Pfizer is the company that paid $2.3 billion in Federal criminal fines in 2009 – the largest ever paid by a drug company – for being a repeat offender in the marketing of 13 different drugs.

Meanwhile, the commission justifying the government’s claims about COVID-19 and injections (aka “vaccines”) will be hard at work writing their fictive report that will justify ex post facto the terrible damage that has occurred and that will continue to occur for many years. Censorship and threats against dissidents will increase. The disinformation that dominates the corporate mainstream media will of course continue, but this will be supplemented by alternative media that are already buckling under the pressure to conform.

The fact that there has been massive censorship of dissenting voices by Google/ YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, etc., and equally massive disinformation by commission and omission across media platforms, should make everyone ask why. Why repress dissent? The answer should be obvious but is not.

The fact that so many refuse to see the significance of this censorship clearly shows the hypnotic effects of a massive mind control operation.

Name calling and censorship are sufficient. Perfectly healthy people have now become a danger to others. So mask up, get your experimental shot, and shut up!

Your body is no longer inviolable. You must submit to medical procedures on your body whether you want them or not. Do not object or question. If you do, you will be punished and will become a pariah. The authorities will call you crazy, deviant, selfish. They will take away your rights to travel and engage in normal activities, such as attend college, etc.

Please do not recall The Nuremberg Code. Especially number 7: “Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death.” (my emphasis)

“Now is the time to just do what you are told,” as Anthony Fauci so benevolently declared.

I am not making a prediction. The authorities have told us what’s coming. Pay attention. Don’t be fooled. It’s a game they have devised. Keep people guessing. On edge. Relieved. Tense. Relaxed. Shocked. Confused. That’s the game. One day this, the next that. You’re on, you’re off. You’re in, you’re out. We are allowing you this freedom, but be good children or we will have to retract it. If you misbehave, you will get a time out. Time to contemplate your sins.

If you once thought that COVID-19 would be a thing of the past by now, or ever, think again. On May 3, 2021 The New York Times reported that the virus is here to stay. This was again reported on May 10. Hopes Fade for Global Herd Immunity. You may recall that we were told such immunity would be achieved once enough people got the “vaccine” or enough people contracted the virus and developed antibodies.

On May 9, on ABC News, Dr. Fauci, when asked about indoor mask requirements being relaxed, said, “I think so, and I think you’re going to probably be seeing that as we go along, and as more people get vaccinated.” Then he added: “We do need to start being more liberal, as we get more people vaccinated.”

But then, in what CNN reported as a Mother’s Day prediction, he pushed the date for “normality” out another year, saying, “I hope that [by] next Mother’s Day, we’re going to see a dramatic difference than what we’re seeing right now. I believe that we will be about as close to back to normal as we can. We’ve got to make sure that we get the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated. When that happens, the virus doesn’t really have any place to go. You’re not going to see a surge. You’re not going to see the kinds of numbers we see now.”

He said this with a straight face even though the experimental “vaccines,” by their makers own admissions, do not prevent the vaccinated from getting the virus or passing it on. They allege it only mitigates the severity of the virus if you contract it.

Notice the language and the vaccination meme repeated three times: “We get more people vaccinated.” (my emphasis) Not that more people choose to get vaccinated, but “we get” them vaccinated. Thank you, Big Daddy. And now we have another year to go until “we will be about as close to back to normal as we can.” Interesting phrase: as we can. It other words: we will never return to normality but will have to settle for the new normal that will involve fewer freedoms. Life will be reset, a great reset. Great for the few and terrible for the many.

Once two vaccines were enough; then, no, maybe one is sufficient; no, you will need annual or semi-annual booster shots to counteract the new strains that they say are coming. It’s a never-ending story with never-ending new strains in a massive never-ending medical experiment. The virus is changing so quickly and herd immunity is now a mystical idea, we are told, that it will never be achieved. We will have to be eternally vigilant.

But wait. Don’t despair. It looks like restrictions are easing up for the coming summer in the northern hemisphere. Lockdowns will be loosened. If you felt like a prisoner for the past year plus, now you will be paroled for a while. But don’t dispose of those masks just yet. Fauci says that wearing masks could become seasonal following the pandemic because people have become accustomed to wearing them and that’s why the flu has disappeared. The masks didn’t prevent COVID-19 but eliminated the flu. Are you laughing yet?

Censorship and lockdowns and masks and mandatory injections are like padded cells in a madhouse and hospital world where free-association doesn’t lead to repressed truths because free association isn’t allowed, neither in word nor deed. Speaking freely and associating with others are too democratic. Yes, we thought we were free. False consciousness is pandemic. Exploitation is seen as benevolence. Silence reigns. And the veiled glances signify the ongoing terror that has spread like a virus.

We are now in a long war with two faces. As with the one justified by the mass murders of September 11, 2001, this viral one isn’t going away.

The question is: Do we have to wait twenty years to grasp the obvious and fight for our freedoms?

We can be assured that Zelikow and his many associates at Covid Collaborative, including General Stanley McChrystal, Robert Gates, Arnie Duncan, Deval Patrick, Tom Ridge, et al. – a whole host of Republicans and Democrats backed by great wealth and institutional support, will not be “whacking moles” in their search for truth. Their agenda is quite different.

But then again, you may recall where they stood on the mass murders of September 11, 2001 and the endless wars that have followed.

Re: For Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.

Postby Harvey » Fri Jun 04, 2021 11:22 pm

Delingpole is busily 'weaponising' disenchantment with the NHS among the right in the UK which is largely caused by arbitrary government cuts and the many tiers of management they have interposed between most people in the UK and front line healthcare (and exacerbated immeasurably by Covid measures) to privatise a health service we already pay adequately for and turn it into the expensive and predatory model of end stage capitalism you folks in the states seem keen on.

Let me say, Delingpole strikes me as a complete cunt, an unprincipled bastard and I am in no way surprised he's interviewing Corbett right now. In fact, the unmentionable (by him) 'conspiracy' community are equally busily being recruited into the new order as we speak by figures just like him and Jordan Peterson. Corbett's views on climate make him low hanging fruit to charlatans like Mr Delingpole while the larger body of his own work is becoming associated exclusively with the right. As Corbett alienates the left side of his base by appealing ever more to the right, I expect him to become steadily more rightwing himself. We'll see in due course if I'm wrong.

As it is, given the amount of grief I've encountered at the hands of Mr Delingpole and fellow travellers, excuse me if I can't stomach watching.

Thanks. I had no idea who this Delingpole fellow is, but it sounds like it will make for an interesting encounter. Haven't watched the video yet except for the first few minutes. The comment section at off-guardian is worth looking into, though...a good group of insightful people (for the most part), decent moderation ...and probably mostly British.

"journeys from the mainstream to the alternative"

The alternative is still on the reservation, though. It isn't an alternative to mass culture, it is mass culture marketed to consumers with alternative tastes. The lifestyle brand of choice for self-styled mass culture mavericks hoping to boost their social status and clicks. Join the fanclub today.

I mean, try to understand, the alternative to the mainstream is just the mainstream alternative. Sharing and resharing these "alternative news products" is not anything other than participating in the mainstream. You alternative news hounds on the board don't seem to realize you aren't outside the mainstream, and the alternative media you lay on the board is all coming from a mainstream market. You're like the perfect targets for what is called "niche marketing."

Sure, but what's your point?

I mean, show me an existing alternative with which to elicit a beneficial response from the masses huddled around their televisions. I live an extremely spartan life beside which many of your pronouncements seem utterly superfluous, but you carry your assumptions forward anyway, as do we all.

By all means, provide your alternative.

There is no alternative, I'm saying. Only the mainstream in its various flavors. It has nothing to do with spartan lifestyles, like thoreau, or turn on tune in drop out. It is about existing outside the mindset of mass culture, while living in poverty right in the middle of it.

So I guess that I'm saying my opinions seem superfluous to you, maybe not because you're more spartan than me, but very much less poor than I am.

I don't want to be misunderstood, I'm not getting into playing who is more poor and therefore more pure and worthy of listening to. I'm not complaining that the world done me wrong, I choose poverty, for the peace of my own soul. I wouldn't try to put it one anyone else, like "if you want to be happy, this is what you must do, and if you don't then you're part of the problem." Passive aggressive holier than thouism.

You choose spartan, I choose poverty. I'm good with that. Sorry to seem superfluous, though. Maybe we can meet at a discussion of spartanness and poorness. Poverty has its own aesthetic, sure, but it is messier and just sort of catch as catch can.
Both his words and manner of speech seemed at first totally unfamiliar to me, and yet somehow they stirred memories - as an actor might be stirred by the forgotten lines of some role he had played far away and long ago.

Haven't watched the video yet except for the first few minutes. The comment section at off-guardian is worth looking into, though...a good group of insightful people (for the most part), decent moderation ...and probably mostly British.


UK media are intensively ostracising and suppressing left wing ideas to the degree that the only visible point of agreement to be found in mainstream media for people like Corbett would be someone like Delingpole, although neither appear natural allies, precisely through their similar views on climate and Covid. Perhaps this is the technique for folding all those who would normally be sympathetic to the left, quite firmly into the hard right. For example, Corbett would make an extremely handsome fireplace ornament for someone like Delingpole, who would lease Corbett's base to the hard right and their agenda, just as Alex Jones inadvertently donated his base to Trump. We will see in due course.

"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"
