This is the reality of Covid in highly populated China. Just more indication that the CDC has completely lied about the death count and lumped tens of thousands of non-Covid deaths into its numbers:

It is the job of scientists to think in terms of data and objectively. And somewhat theoretically, too.

Anthony Fauci usually does not do this, let alone the media lapdogs in the Democratic Party.

Obviously they come up with different conclusions, and perhaps you're really referring to the ones who act in an advisory position to people that actually make policy. But it is worth remembering who makes public policy and it's not the scientists. I don't think it's fair to say they are playing "video games" with our lives. And I don't know much about whose voices are being censored. When it's Cali who says it, I don't pay it much mind.


That’s because Cali knows much more about these things than you do and he brings to light truths of which you are unaware, such as these:

- Dr. Scott Atlas recently had his Twitter account frozen in mid-October for questioning the

- Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube pulled down a video in late July of numerous doctors endorsing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus (but I’m sure you’ll insist that the Democratic Party hacks at those tech companies know more about medicine than doctors endorsing HCQ)

- YouTube censored a video in April of 2 doctors in California expressing opposition to the lockdowns

So yes, Kieran is absolutely right about the left-wing censorship of scientific voices that dissent from the Democratic Party’s whimsical and partisan claptrap.


Oh, and btw, one of your CNN stars privately does not believe in masks. He just pretends that they’re important because he is paid to be a hack for the Democratic Party church:

Interesting study on masks:


It was a double blind "gold standard" medical review. They can't get the results published.

Wake up people...


Of course Britbox. They are hiding the results of the Danish study so that the left-wing lemmings who have dutifully listened to their overlords don’t feel dumb when they find out there is no scientific justification for the widespread mask wearing.

As more and more voices get around the censorship and filter into the mainstream, the scale of these giant deceptions will become evident to a lot more people.

Yes, and a lot of people are going to be very angry and/or feel very dumb, especially when the truth starts coming out about the death counts (as well as the impotence of the masks). This is the biggest con job any of us may ever witness. There have been other mass delusions (like the myth of Trump-Russia collusion) but none as far-reaching and invasive of people’s lives as the Covid silliness.

Just look at how they are partying in Wuhan. That tells you all you need to know:

Harvard professor Martin Kulldorff has come out vehemently against the lockdowns. But I guess he isn’t a real scientist like Fauci, who is the only one to look at data. Fauci is the only serious scientist in the USA!

Hey @Kieran, I'm a Christian but not a Catholic, so was wondering if there had been much chatter in your circles about Archbishop Vigano and his letter to Trump where he also disses the Pope a little.

Hey @Kieran, I'm a Christian but not a Catholic, so was wondering if there had been much chatter in your circles about Archbishop Vigano and his letter to Trump where he also disses the Pope a little.

I'm living isolated in the country, brother, my neighbours are llamas and horses, so I'm outside the loop on what my fellow Catholics are discussing, and also, I haven't logged in on Catholic sites for a while. I'm enjoying my own space, missing pubs and caffs, and that's the lump sum of it.

But I meant to say to you, I tried to listen to the video you posted recently regarding the great reset and it wouldn't open for me. So I didn't ignore it but on that day I set aside time to listen and it wouldn't play. [EDIT: it just opened on the laptop so I'll try it again on the phone when I go for a walk later. Prolly won't digest it all in one bite]

I read the article and I agree with the Archbishop, if this is what's happening. I'm far from convinced that it is, and I've spoken to others who believe it. But I'm not closed-minded either and look forward to the video. This "great reset" smells like a hideous socialist or communist dream operating under the guise of compassion and equality, but like anything socialist, it's a false compassion and a false idea of equality. And it should be resisted.

He criticised the current pope for "betraying his role from the very beginning in order to defend and promote the globalist ideology, supporting the agenda of the deep church, who chose him from its ranks." This is too vague and conspiratorial - I haven't heard the phrase "deep church" before, but I've seen enough reasons during his term to feel that criticism of this pope is warranted. I think he's a man who hasn't understood the role of the papacy, he's loose-lipped and often speaks without thinking, lapping up the attention of journalists at the back of the plane, then having to walk back what he said because he realises how it's been scanned.

Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.
I'm not sure about this. I have no problem with vaccines, per se, but of course I would be opposed to mandatory vaccines. I myself don't take a flu jab but I have no problem if people want to take one - but is he being serious about detention camps, house arrest, assets being confiscated?

Moxie wants to know where there is censorship of scientists. Well this lady right here was one of the doctors censored by the big tech companies for advocating hydroxychloroquine.

Why is Moxie siding with Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg over a female doctor? Why does she always side with white left-wing men with power (Cuomo, Dorsey, Fauci) over women? Very curious. She must hate women to do that repeatedly.

I'm very sorry to interrupt your conversation but you mentioned horses & I'm equine-mad as if you hadn't already noticed. I love your neighbours. 1/2 of them are neighbours in more ways than 1. (Wordplay intended in the last sentence.) What type of horses live near you? Connemara ponies? Irish draughts? Members of the equus caballus species of horse or equus luxuriosa? Oops! You're an Irish Catholic. I had better not discuss my religious beliefs or lack thereof then. I'm glad you're enjoying your own space though missing pubs & cafes. I will miss cafes again. I guess you won't have heard the phrase "Slainte mhath!" for a long-time then. I learnt it in Scots/Gaelic but I've been told the Irish use it too.

I haven't watched Britbox's "The Great Reset" videos either for a different reason. I've been recommended the book "Coronavirus 2020 the great reset" or something along those lines so added it to my T.B.R. list but haven't had chance to yet as I'm so busy with books on history & horses + I've got a long T.B.R. list which keeps growing as I keep getting recommendations. (Some recommendations I like, others I don't.) As a result, I don't know whether to watch Britbox's videos or not because it may spoil the book . Then again if I watch the videos & don't like them I know not to read the book.

I'm open on these views. I didn't believe what was said about this virus when we went into lockdown the first time but so much was going on. I had to get used to a new way of life in more ways than 1. I won't say anything about anything else you've got to say as I haven't watched the videos or read the information so can't judge.

They’re two retired racehorses, owned by a pair of vets who live in the neighbouring farm. They’re beauties, and they play with the two llamas. There’s plump black turkeys on the farm too, recent additions, no doubt getting ready for their Christmas holidays. :D

Why not?

It’s a similar one, though more commonly we just say slainte. Yeah, I miss sitting in caffs. Sometimes I get too used to a cafe and get to say hello to fellow regulars there and pretty soon I’m looking for a new caff because eventually people want to sit and chat and I prefer to sit alone.

Well, yet again the video wouldn’t open on the phone when I went for my walk, so I wonder if @britbox has any solution? Mayhap I’ll research a bit to try find it elsewhere?

Racehorses are nice. Aww! That's nice. Turkey sounds nice. They are probably going to get fattened up for someone's Xmas dinner. :0)

I'm genealogically mostly Scots/Irish. I have an Irish Aunt & cousins. I'm into history & remember the troubles of the 1980's. It's not a good idea to tell an Irishman your religion unless you're the same religion as them. I know that not everyone was at each others throats because they were different religions & everyone else had to suffer. O.K. I'll put myself in the firing-line. I'm an atheist.

Sometimes the Scots do too but apparently that term can also be used as a derogatory term for a Chinese person so rather than saying "Slainte" meaning health as a toast, most say "Slainte mhath" meaning "Good health" when used as a toast. (I only know mhath is the word meaning good as "Madhain mhath" is "Good Morning!" & the only word the 2 phrases have in common is mhath so it must mean good. Mind you, it wouldn't have made as much sense if Slainte was used alone & meant good to have it as a toast.)

It's good to go into a café for a cuppa & a chat with friends but it's also nice to go for a cream tea in a café or have a latte on your own. Some cafes even have book & newspapers for you to read while having your cuppa.

I'm very sorry Britbox's videos aren't working for you. I hope he manages to sort things out for you.

If you think about it rationally, there has to be some sort of reset - particularly with the global financial system. Let's not pretend the "old order" was particularly great for a lot of nations or people either. The Petrodollar is coming to an end, countries are saddled with debt mountains and automation is gobbling up old economy jobs.

If you were totally dispassionate and looked at the Great Reset through the lens of a global elite applying ruthless logic, the solutions all makes perfect sense. However, we are not machines but mere human beings. (At least for now - look at some of the ideas for humans combining with AI and robotics).

Bill Gates / Microsoft has also patented monitoring human activity and linking it with Cryptocurrency.


Patent Number: WO/2020/060606 - might be time to re-read the Book of Revelation :face-with-tears-of-joy:

The tech is already there and pretty amazing. Research Nano-chips. Miniscule dots to connect to the Internet of Things. You can track via GPS. The last piece of the comms jigsaw is 5G being rolled out.

There are big changes on the horizon. Some good, some not so good (and different people will have their own priorities to measure those) and like all major revolutions, there will be winners/opportunities and losers.

Watch what the major players are doing and some of the moves being made. Trump merged the Fed Reserve with the US Treasury a few months ago and barely anything was mentioned. Berkshire Hathaway taking positions on gold and precious metals. China putting all their military on war preparedness. There are major events going on around the world right now and we're focused on mask wearing... (probably by design).

You know, there are many beauties about being Irish, and living in Ireland, but don't trust us to be on time. I woke at 5.45 for a delivery of logs - the only time he could come, apparently - and waited outside shining a torch. 6.15 came and went so I sent a text, though nobody likes to be pushy. I walked up and down, clocking up steps, and at 6.45 was about to ring him when he texted a huge apology, saying he'd changed the time but that he forgot to tell me. He'd be here at ten. I growled a snorter of a text and went back to bed. I gobbled my porridge swiftly and at 10.30 he arrived, 30 minutes after he'd said he would.

He grovelled while he simultaneously reversed the van and toppled the wood onto the side of the house. We had a great chat after this, funny enough.
If you think about it rationally, there has to be some sort of reset - particularly with the global financial system. Let's not pretend the "old order" was particularly great for a lot of nations or people either.

So what? It was ever thus. There were two world wars in the last 106 years, an actually terrible global pandemic, a great depression, and now a more anaemic pandemic that's still hitting us hard in so many areas. So why should we change things now? A friend of mine who also spoke about the Great Reset has a similar view, though maybe not exactly the same as yours, that this is a global elite trying to adjust the inequalities and make a fairer, more equal society. I asked her what that means. She said that we would all have enough money to live off so that we could concentrate on being creative. I restrained a riotous giggle urge. I asked her if that didn't sound a bit commie, etc. She was upset with me, because I said her conspiracy was "impossible", because she couldn't answer my rote query: "what's in it for Boris?" She said he'd have no choice. I repeated, impossible. She hated that word.

Now, I know you haven't said the same, and so I'm not suggesting that you have, but you have to see that your version is just another punter in a queue. To look at things from the perspective of the old order not being great for everyone is a bad starting point. Sure, some countries thrive, and some countries struggle. The human being is a diverse creature. A German logger would have been outside my home at 5.45 and maybe even helped me stack the wood. Thankfully, we're not all alike. Also, the human spirit is a competitive one. Attempts to tamper with this and enforce some bogus form of global equality, or parity, would be unjust and should be of course resisted.

Again, I know you're not saying this, and if I'm misunderstanding the Great Reset, I'll be glad to be corrected. Reading the WEF website, I see a lot about "equity", "equality", "green" stuff, etc, but not quite the more explicitly lunatic elements of an AOC document, for instance. It's not a conspiracy, as I think you already said, because it's openly stated on their website, but I'm not convinced this would pass water if it come to it.

I'm not convinced by the Bill Gates conspiracy stuff. I think the bloke has been a serious philanthropist. However, I'm not totally unconvinced either, because I've seen him trot out the clichés about overpopulation (which will peak in a few decades then decline), he's funded Planned Parenthood, which is a vicious misnomer, and we always have to be careful, but with regards to AI stuff, I agree, there's danger there. I think Elon Musk is looking into stuff like this too. We need always to be careful about this. Just because we can doesn't mean we should, as we know. We can progress too fast, and we don't need to be tampering with humanity in this way. Partly, it reminds me of our western denial about Covid, and death, etc. Billionaires have a history of seeking the elixir of youth, of believing that they're somehow above mere frail humanity and they have the cash to prove it. We've seen it in Greek myths, and we see it throughout history. A God complex. A megalomania. The Book of Revelations, indeed.

If this is to be a major revolution, it will be resisted, proving once again that not all revolutions succeed. One thing I'm curious about is why so few political commentators are picking up on this. I've yet to see the ones I regard highly even sniff at it. And even YouTubers, who compete with a tribalist fury, haven't been scanning this protect from the perspective of their respective tribes. Being so far under the political radar, it could be true, but it's too broad a narrative so far for me to get a sound opinion on it. It's not resonating with me enough right now, but I'm still not discounting it because, as we see, the world is a funny place...

There is a lot more on Event 201 here. It's been banned from regular channels, but includes a lot of the scenario footage that they played out. Eerily similar to what we saw in practice.



This one. It opens on the laptop but I'm listening to vids and podcasts when I go walking, and it won't start on my phone...

I'm not convinced by the Bill Gates conspiracy stuff. I think the bloke has been a serious philanthropist. However, I'm not totally unconvinced either, because I've seen him trot out the clichés about overpopulation (which will peak in a few decades then decline), he's funded Planned Parenthood, which is a vicious misnomer, and we always have to be careful, but with regards to AI stuff, I agree, there's danger there. I think Elon Musk is looking into stuff like this too. We need always to be careful about this. Just because we can doesn't mean we should, as we know. We can progress too fast, and we don't need to be tampering with humanity in this way. Partly, it reminds me of our western denial about Covid, and death, etc. Billionaires have a history of seeking the elixir of youth, of believing that they're somehow above mere frail humanity and they have the cash to prove it. We've seen it in Greek myths, and we see it throughout history. A God complex. A megalomania. The Book of Revelations, indeed.


If this is to be a major revolution, it will be resisted, proving once again that not all revolutions succeed. One thing I'm curious about is why so few political commentators are picking up on this. I've yet to see the ones I regard highly even sniff at it. And even YouTubers, who compete with a tribalist fury, haven't been scanning this protect from the perspective of their respective tribes. Being so far under the political radar, it could be true, but it's too broad a narrative so far for me to get a sound opinion on it. It's not resonating with me enough right now, but I'm still not discounting it because, as we see, the world is a funny place...

Time will tell I guess. Plans on this scale rarely pan out quite as intended (too many variables), but I certainly don't believe the way Governments are behaving represent anything to do with protecting Grandma's health. Keep an eye on it. Johnson's speech at the Tory conference ticked some of those boxes above, but certainly not all of them. Also, look at what the IMF, World Bank, EU, UN are saying - there is a large overlap with the WEF - with a lot of the same faces involved.

I agree totally about the granny part and am not informed enough to hold an opinion on the other stuff. Couple of granny memes get my goat. First the regurgitated BS that young people who hold house parties or break lockdown are granny killers. This is such an ugly and mean device to control youngsters and it’s totally unfair.

Second is related: that we should crash the economy and saddle the youth with decades of debt and depression to save granny. It’s such a non sequitur but its repetition has gained so much traction that it’s treated as truth. We need to protect granny and we can - we don’t need to do it at the cost to everyone else.

As for why governments are acting this way, it’s a combo of many things, two of which maybe political cowardice and denial, an inability of westerners to face the reality of death...

Here’s a story that the left-wing media is hardly talking about. They will hardly mention this, just like they hardly mentioned Biden and Harris staffers getting Covid. The WHO hero Tedros just tested positIve for Covid.

Will he be accused of being irresponsible like Trump was? I doubt it.
