COVID-19 – Former UK judge on why lockdown is nonsense

Former UK Supreme Court justice Lord Sumption, one of the seemingly few lawyers critical of the lockdown measures, has summarised the COVID-19 situation most eloquently in this radio interview, and he would answer his critics like this:

What I say to them: I’m not a scientist, but it’s the right and duty of every citizen to look and see what the scientists have said and to analyse it for themselves and draw commonsense conclusions. We are all perfectly capable of doing that, and there is no particular reason why the scientific nature of the problem, that should mean that we have to resign our liberty into the hands of scientists. We all have critical faculties and it’s rather important in a moment of national panic that we maintain them.

In this interview he says:

The problem about using law as your instrument is that law requires definition, exact definition, and it works in categories. So, if you do this not voluntarily, but compulsorily, you are bound to have laws which make perfect sense in some contexts, and not in others. The problem about law is that it excludes commonsense. Now the Prime Minister has said in the House of Commons this afternoon, that he trusts the British to use their commonsense. But you can’t say to a policeman you must arrest somebody or fine them if he’s using commonsense and not otherwise. The whole legal approach invites a collection of completely arbitrary rules unrelated to the underlying purpose of the regulations, and you couldn’t have a more perfect illustration of that than the incredibly complex, utterly arbitrary distinctions contained in the government’s document this afternoon, dinstinguishing between meeting one person and meeting two people, between meeting one person in your back garden and meeting one person in the street outside your front garden. I mean these are illustrations of the kind of ridiculous distinctions that you get when instead of resorting to commonsense you resort to law. … I have every confidence that our sense of preservation and commonsense will enable us to get through this without the nanny state telling us at every point what we can and can’t do, especially when so much of what they are saying actually makes no sense at all.

I’m infected by COVID-19

Sorry, typo, stupid auto-correct… I mean, ”I’m affected by COVID-19”.

Anyway, here’s a little something I wrote on the State Library of NSW’s The Diary Files. Cool project. Here is the link to my contribution, also extracted below:

COVID-19 – inflating the numbers

Bad science is at least partially responsible for landing us in the current societal and economic mess. But is this just a mistake, a failing, or is this by design? It is becoming increasingly evident that it could well be the latter.

This manufactured crisis is quickly becoming the biggest con ever perpetrated in the history of humanity. Forget 9/11, forget the Iraq war, even forget the alleged climate emergency. The application of the tried and tested shock and awe tactic at this scale is truly unprecedented. 

Mind you, not everyone buys it, but that’s not necessary.

No, the early wild predictions designed to scare the world population into submission didn’t have to be accurate. Those shyster “experts” like Neil Ferguson from the UK, Anthony Fauci from the US, and Guan Yi from Hone Kong did a fabulous job. Stage 1, causing fear and panic, was a resounding success.

But now it’s about real numbers, and they need to be substantial. But probably not everyone in power knows it’s a scam, so how does one achieve the desired statistics in the absence of an actually really deadly virus? One moves the goal posts, one ensures that every dead body where COVID-19 is found is counted as a COVID-19 death. 

In the case of the world-renowned Bill Gates-funded German Robert Koch Institut (RKI), its president Lothar Wieler confirmed on 20 March that Germany counts everyone who dies with COVID-19 as a COVID-19 death. 

US hospitals have been given a dubious incentive when legislation was introduced that funnelled more funds to hospitals that admitted COVID-19 patients. The CDC’s instructions on reporting COVID-19 are also an interesting read.

In Australia, the Australian Bureau of Statistics published on its website a document dated 24 March which leaves no doubt that here too, every death where COVID-19 is found, the death certificate should state that COVID-19 was a primary cause, under Part 1 of the certificate, even where this was a presumed COVID-19 death.

Further, each Australian state issued practice directions that effectively prevent autopsies being carried out on COVID-19 deaths (I have found those of New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia).

Who gave the direction to all states not to carry out autopsies, and on what grounds? 

Considering that the only way we can obtain reliable, scientifically useful information is by ensuring that people who possibly died of COVID-19 actually did die because of this disease, the opposite direction would have made more sense. 

Several medical experts have stated there is no reason why autopsies should not to be carried out to determine the cause of death. The city of Hamburg in Germany is doing just that for every possible COVID-19 death, against the wishes of the RKI. According to Dr Klaus Püschel in this interview on 21 April, out of the over 100 COVID-19 deaths he autopsied, all of them died with significant pre-existing conditions, and so had a weakened immune system when they contracted COVID-19. Two hospitals in Basel, Switzerland, also autopsied 21 patients with COVID-19.

Considering the general level of hysteria, one would assume that everything would be done to obtain accurate and detailed information on every possible person who died with COVID-19, but it seems the contrary is the case in most parts of the world.

At the very least one can question why authorities and politicians from Australia and elsewhere are not interested in doing exact science to understand this disease as well as they can. 

Instead, they seem more preoccupied with finding out where it originated and engaging in petty political scuffles. Smoke screens and mirrors everywhere.

The aim seems to be that the statistics should show the highest possible number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, with nobody ever able to verify those numbers. This is important, to justify the draconian and disproportionate measures that have been implemented.

Locking down the herd

Has herd immunity been reached? You bet. The public in most countries was well and truly immunised against any logical and rational thought soon after governments began their fear mongering propaganda campaigns.

Are the lockdown measures we are experiencing required? No. Of course not.

Switzerland is one of the hardest hit countries when it came to the spread of COVID-19, and it was also a country to introduce a lockdown quite early. This article by Swiss Prof. Dr. Pietro Vernazza suggests that lockdown measures have really nothing to do with flattening the curve which our politicians, aided and abetted by a clueless and complicit media, want us to believe.

Going nowhere

Here is my latest animation, filmed with the easy to use Stop Motion Studio and edited with my favourite new editing app, LumaFusion.

Think for yourself

With this video I aim to encourage everyone to think for themselves. No matter what governments and the media tell us, we should always look at important issues (COVID-19, climate issue, war on terror and other wars, 9/11, obesity epidemic etc) with a critical mindset to avoid being manipulated into things we as societies could come to regret. COVID-19 and the climate issue are at the centre of this video. The basic message is: inform yourself as broadly as possible, learn to recognise spin and propaganda, but above all, #thinkforyourself.

Below a selection of non-mainstream sources of news and in-depth information I find useful:

Message from inside

Australians would recognise the many different government adds that pop up online and as street advertising everywhere. If they were about personal hygiene and reasonable measures to prevent the spread of viruses, fine; but they are mainly about the inhumane, disproportional, unreasonable, unnecessary, and frankly dangerous social distancing measures imposed on us all.

Some thoughts on the COVID-19 crisis

(Also available as a video here.)

By now it should be very clear: this new coronavirus is not a more deadly virus than the flu viruses that we experience year after year. The numbers speak for themselves, the mortality rates are roughly the same, yet our governments are imposing totally irrational and disproportionate measures on us, and we just put up with it. Our leaders have collectively lost the plot, and we are following them like good little lambs into the abyss.

It’s not the virus, stupid!

Apologies for the rude title, but I’m getting tired of this. Once again, I smell a rat.

As country after country succumbs to the latest wave of collective madness, reason and commonsense is in even shorter supply than toilet paper.

There’s widespread panic at governmental level from the UN down, in the business community, of course in the financial markets that are irrational at the best of times, and in the general population. And the fear and panic is being dutifully fuelled by a thoroughly complicit mainstream media – nothing new there.

Still, I don’t buy into the hype, and I was suspicious from day one. I prefer to think for myself and trust my own judgement. I can’t be certain what exactly is going on here, but I’m quite certain that this is not about preventing the spread of a killer virus.

Debunking the supposed climate crisis – historical records

There is an easy way to expose the supposedly man-made climate crisis or climate emergency as an elaborate indoctrination and propaganda scheme: look at unadulterable historical records such as old newspapers, for instance.

A post by a climate activist on Twitter lamented the recent death of 3,000 flying foxes in the Kangaroo Valley in Australia, no doubt attributing the insufferable heat which caused this calamity to man-made climate change. This tweet prompted me to do a search for similar events in history, and it took me about a minute to find some in the Trove newspaper archive.

On page 13 of the Sydney Morning Herald of 30 January 1932 (during this year the CO2 levels are thought to have been about 305ppm, before the big spike in man-made CO2 emissions) we find the following article:
