Think Your Government Wouldn't Lie About Covid If It Gave them Power to do What You Would Otherwise Oppose?


Vaccine passports make no sense as a means to control Covid. The vaccinated are subject to infection and can shed virus particles and spread the disease as freely as the unvaccinated.

So it's the unvaccinated who need protection from the vaccinated, not the other way around.

But if you accepted the phony argument for vaccine passports and the penalties imposed on those without one, do you really think that government's won't exploit it as an instrument of Chinese-Communist-style social control? In Canada a government led by a man who so much admires China's Communist dictatorship?

You think that governments will resist the opportunity to link your face — as scanned dozens of times a day by security and surveillance cams — with your passport file and use AI systems to achieve real-time minute by minute control over you and every citizen? If so, watch the video and remember how the events related turned out for Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, the fallout continuing to this day.

But if you wish to avoid living under an Orwellian system of oppression, check with your parliamentary candidates. Does any one of them* explicitly oppose compelled vaccination under the threat of vaccine passport Hell? Actually, your no-hope People's Party Candidate is opposed to compelled vaccination. Why not cast a protest vote instead of throwing your vote away on a mainstream party candidate who is either too stupid to know what's at stake, or simply means you no good.

Remember, you can either be a good citizen, a responsible person guided by a moral sense, or you can live like an automaton, guided not by conscience, religious faith, or mere human decency, but by an artificial intelligence that punishes you automatically, whenever you fail to follow the dictates of a hypocritical, ethics-challenged humbug like Justin Trudeau.

* None of the mainstream parties, Conservative, Liberal or NDP say a word about vaccine passports on their campaign web sites, which means they're all for them.

The Trusted News Initiative – A BBC led organisation censoring Public Health experts who oppose the official narrative on Covid-19

"What do the inventor of mRNA technology; the lead author of the most downloaded paper on Covid-19 in the American Journal of Medicine; a former editor of the American Journal of Epidemiology; renowned epidemiologists at Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford; and France’s leading microbiologist – have in common? 

They have all been censored by a repressive media network that most people have never heard of. This network has outrageously conceived and conveyed a “monopoly of legitimate information.” 


Natural immunity 13 times more effective than vaccines at stopping “delta” variant 
But here in Canada we will still punish you if you refuse the vax, and no, we couldn't care less that you have immunity from infection vastly superior to that provided by the vax.

UK Government Complicit In Use of Torture: Parliamentary Committee

On his blog, today, Craig Murray, who in 2004 was removed from his post as UK ambassador to Uzbekistan during a dispute with his political masters over Britain's receipt of information obtained by the most brutal torture in Uzbekistan, writes:

Even I was taken aback by the sheer scale of British active involvement in extraordinary rendition revealed by yesterday’s report of the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee. Dominic Grieve and the committee deserve congratulations for their honesty, integrity and above all persistence. It is plain from the report that 10 Downing Street did everything possible to handicap the work of the committee. Most crucially they were allowed only to interview extremely senior civil servants and not allowed to interview those actively engaged in the torture and rendition programme.

Theresa May specifically and deliberately ruled out the Committee from questioning any official who might be placed at risk of criminal proceedings – see para 11 of the report. The determination of the government to protect those who were complicit in torture tells us much more about their future intentions than any fake apology.

In fact it is impossible to read paras 9 to 14 without being astonished at the sheer audacity of Theresa May’s attempts to obstruct the inquiry. They were allowed to interview only 4 out of 23 requested witnesses, and those were not allowed “to talk about the specifics of the operations in which they were involved nor fill in any gaps in the timeline”....

No one can disagree with Craig Murrays view that torture is a vile business. Yet when bullets are flying and there is a chance the prisoner in your hands could tell you where to hit the enemy's ammo dump, or fuel supply lines, whatever, you're gonna slap that prisoner around for information, even if he ends up dead. I think that the historical record would prove that to be a universal truth: War is a cruel business and banning torture won't prevent it or take the cruelty out of it.

It is doubtful, however, that anyone can make a compelling justification for torture as a routine bureaucratic function. Hence the lies, prevarication, and obfuscation over Britain's role in organized torture. Moreover, the lies, prevarication and obfuscation are an altogether different matter from the brutality they are intended to conceal. As Murray has with bloody-minded stubbornness revealed, Straw, Blair, and others on both sides of the house lied extensively to Parliament about torture.

As Murray writes of Jack Straw, his own political boss at the time:

I strongly recommend you to read the whole Hansard transcript, from Q21 to Q51, in which Jack Straw carries out the most sustained bravura performance of lying to parliament in modern history. The ISC report makes plain he was repeatedly involved in direct authorisations of rendition operations, while denying to parliament the very existence of such operations.

And the cover-up continues under Theresa May. Such scoundrels should be immediately and permanently barred from Parliament and any further role in government.
