The msm, Twitter etc generally have still not understood that the virus scare is pretty much over. The reckoning for the UK and other countries, such as Italy, for their crazed and frightened “lockdowns”, will not be too long in coming. Autumn, Winter this year…
Wikipedia contaminated by Zionism
The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” wants “volunteers” to vandalize Wikipedia; or as they would say, “to make sure that the (((right))) message is implanted”…
Wikipedia is a very useful resource, but has been sadly contaminated by (((them))) and by “their” malicious deceptiveness.
Censorship by YouTube
As I blogged yesterday, Hitchens does not seem to see the nub of his —and the general— (((problem))):
“Susan Diane Wojcicki was born on July 5, 1968 to Esther Wojcicki, an educator of…Jewish descent“.

See the (((problem))) for what it is. Then and only then can you deal with it. Hitchens always says that that is his method, but in this case he seems to be missing the (((elephant))) in the room…
A few more tweets about “Coronavirus”
Life after “Coronavirus” and “lockdown”/shutdown
I have been thinking for a while about what happens after the ludicrous and misconceived “lockdown” or shutdown ends.
We do not as yet know when that will be. In the UK, that is. Some countries have not even had a “lockdown”, have suffered no worse than the UK (far less, in some cases), and their economies and societies are still functioning.
The present UK Government is plainly flying blind. As the ludicrous “lockdown” has continued, the Government has been driven by public relations, not by “the Science” (as a god), even “the Science” as presented to the Government by that lunatic politically-correct Imperial College professor, Ferguson, so often terribly wrong in the past too.
What a surprise…

Trump and the riots
No serious comment this time; just that this made me laugh:
Solar power boost
History corner
Yes, Hitler was born there, so it must be dangerous! Hitler “bestrides the narrow world like a colossus”; alternatively, “there is a spectre haunting Europe, the spectre of Adolf Hitler.”
Many wonder why Hitler still exercises such fascination over the European peoples, 75 years after his death. I think that there are several reasons.
For one thing, the world of today is, to a large extent, that formed in the crucible of the 1940s. Premature decolonization, the Cold War, the population explosion and the eventual migration-invasion are just some of the trends or situations which started in or soon after WW2. That is one factor. That would include the major international bodies of today: the UN, the World Bank and IMF, NATO etc.
There is, though, and in my view, more to it than that. Despite the Jew-Zionist propaganda of the past 75 years, which has intensified since the 1980s, many European people know, from some little voice amid the trumpeting of anti-Hitlerism and “holocaust” propaganda, that the real story of those years (the 12 years of first triumph, and then defeat and disaster, 1933-45), has not been fully or truthfully told.
More yet. It is the feeling that much of our present society in Europe (and elsewhere, but let’s focus) is just…wrong…The multikulti society with huge numbers of relatively low IQ, low culture blacks and browns; the ever-declining standards in public services, architecture, housing, “welfare” (social security), roads, rail; the feeling of stress brought in from having adopted a society based on what might be called “godless materialism”, and on a basically Jew-Zionist 24/7 “open all hours” society of round-the-clock moneymaking (profiteering).
People, European people, think or know, at heart, that we can do better. They do not say “Hitler was right!” simpliciter. No, it is more nuanced than that. They do know, though, by instinct, that Hitler would be on the side of a better, advanced European society, and would despise much of the present one. Ergo, not “let’s go back to the 1930s”, but “we have taken some wrong turns”. I think that that is the underlying mood.
A few late tweets seen
You see this kind of thing all the time on Twitter, meaning tweets like that of “@MarkBartlam”, defending the privatization of the public forum, and the censoring of free expression by a few finance-capitalist quasi-monopolies (eg Twitter, Facebook) on the basis that “they are private enterprises, and can exclude anyone they wish”.
That sort of near-cretinism is now the norm, in fact. Many putting it forward even call themselves “socialists”!
Imagine a police chief in the UK saying that! Sacked immediately, of course, and probably also questioned by poundland KGB “anti-terror” police. Britain does not now allow its citizens to own “guns” (except farmers and landowners). However, it does not have a police force capable of and willing to do its proper job (most of the time).

M’Lord of Essex, I think that by now you know my view: the virus swept across the world before countries were even aware of it. In the UK, the lockdown was*preceded* by the virus peak. Instead of quarantining or shielding properly those *really* at risk (persons over 70 with health problems and especially inmates of care homes), the Govt. decided to “protect the NHS”, throw the care home inmates and staff under a bus, pretend that “everyone” is at risk when this virus hardly ever kills anyone under 40, and shut down pretty much our whole society. Etc.
My view is also that, even as it stands, the UK will suffer a huge hit in terms of economy alone, but to extend “lockdown”, even partially, is to invite calamity.
Also, I have seen nothing that proves that a “second wave” even exists or will exist.

Today, I have that this ridiculous globalist open borders supporting government wants to create ‘air bridges’ with countries who have low transmissions of the virus!

So, all in all, Peter and other advocates of no lockdown need to realise that IF you have a very high quality, educated (Japan has one of the world’s highest graduate levels along with South Korea) , obedient, law abiding, responsible population who think of others and co-operate for the benefit of society as a whole then you CAN do what Japan has done but if you have a population like Britain’s with too many ‘Chav Scums’ in it then you have a very big problem on your hands as a government and a society when dealing with a highly infectious viral disease.

Unfortunately, it only takes a few ‘Chav Scum’ types to ignore social/physical distancing guidelines to set off new spikes of transmission and undo the good practices of other more responsible people hence the reasoning behind governments getting ‘heavy’ and enforcing ‘lockdowns’ etc.

We have suffered a big economic hit but unless you do absolutely nothing as a government and society to try and contain the virus then that is going to happen. The aim of all the interventions by governments around the world was to reduce the time and opportunities for people to interact with each other thus lessening the chances of the virus from being caught by one person who could then infect another and then another and so on.
Economic activity is, obviously, going to decline with less human beings interacting with each other.

M’learned colleague Mr. Millard knows that Hitchens is a proud, public-avowed Zionist who favours the one-state ‘solution’, and he is also Jew by ancestry, though not by upbringing, through his mother. I think he’s quite aware of who is pulling the strings when it comes to denial of free-speech; as a veteran columnist, journalist, writer and broadcaster it would be hard for him to remain ignorant. It also doesn’t bother him when antisemitic advocates fall victim since he has said he considers their worldview irrational and not worthy of treatment as a legitimate position one can take in public discourse. He personally may not try to get such persons silenced but he has said that he happily subjects them to his ridicule and mockery and refuses to engage with their fallacious arguments as if they held any validity.
