Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics: Manufacturing the Crisis Posted on Simon Elmer Table of Contents Laying the Foundations Competing Causes of Death Evidence for Lockdown Deaths Recovering the Dead Overall Mortality in the ‘Epidemic’ What Happened to the Excess Deaths? Conclusions It’s official. The UK now has the  ‘highest COVID death-rate in the world’ . To use a phrase repeatedly employed by our Government throughout this crisis to describe the new technologies and programmes of the UK biosecurity state, our national version of the global coronavirus pandemic is ‘world-beating’. In the UK, with only the 6th largest economy in the world, we’ve managed to beat even the epidemically obese USA, which as in most things leads the world in  ‘COVID-19 deaths’ , as well as the systemically impoverished Peru, which at one time combined the  6th strictest lockdown restrictions in the world  with the  highest mortality rate . However, although UK’s new pre-eminence has been headline-news in the

Watch it while you can.  Won't be long before the censors pull it.   Dr. Ryan Cole I am NOT anti-vaccine. I am pro- good science. My body, my choice. Step back and look at the data and forget the politics. A quick analysis of the situation without fear and media hype. We need to have courage and logic and approach this in a manner the preserves liberty and protects people. It is criminal these mandates for our young people. Leave the kids alone, they survived this 100%. We are seeing a 200% increase in heart damage in our young men after this. This damage is scarring the heart, that's long-term! This is unethical, and a violation of morality. This new 'variant is a 'scarient'. This is turning into what all coronaviruses turn into - a common cold. If you want to be a subject in an experiment and think it's going to be a benefit to you. Your body your choice, be fully informed about what your risks are. We shouldn't be coercing people into a shot where

The All-Seeing "i": Apple Just Declared War on Your Privacy “Under His Eye,” she says. The right farewell. “Under His Eye,” I reply, and she gives a little nod. Edward Snowden By now you've probably heard that Apple  plans to push a new and uniquely intrusive surveillance system  out to many of the more than  one billion  iPhones it has sold, which all run the behemoth's proprietary, take-it-or-leave-it software. This new offensive is tentatively slated to begin with the launch of iOS 15⁠—almost certainly in mid-September⁠—with the devices of its US user-base designated as the initial targets. We’re told that other countries will be spared, but not for long. You might have noticed that I haven’t mentioned which problem it is that Apple is purporting to solve. Why? Because it doesn’t matter. Having read thousands upon thousands of remarks on this growing scandal, it has become clear to me that many understand it doesn't matter, but few if any have been willing to a

The Calamity of Scientific Gnosticism JAMES LINDSAY If we think of the general madness of the world at the present in terms of the familiar biological taxonomical hierarchy: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species, while something like “Critical Whiteness Studies” might be a species within the Critical Race Theory genus, which is in turn classifiable in the neo-Marxian Family, Marxian Order, and Hegelian Class, the question arises: in what the Kingdom are all these interrelated insanities to be found? I assert that it is that ancient parasitic bugbear known as  Gnosticism . In fact, the systematic Hegelian project and especially Marxism, which materialized it, would therefore define the Gnostic phylum of  Scientific Gnosticism  (though, by definition, “scientistic” would be better) that completes the taxonomy. Whatever might be said about other branches in Kingdom Gnosticism, Scientific Gnosticism is perhaps the most calamitous ideological phylum human beings have so

On the Absence of Systemic Racism JAMES LINDSAY According to Critical Race Theory, “racism is ordinary, not aberrational—‘normal science,’ the usual way society does business, the common, everyday experience of most people of color in this country” (Delgado and Stefancic, 2001, p. 7). Its advocates call this belief “systemic racism,” and Critical Race Theory is the “study” of this so-called systemic racism, if by “study” we mean “treasure hunt to find racism in everything.” Consequently, according to Critical Race Theorists, virtually everything anyone can imagine is racist. The names of some birds and fish are racist, according to Critical Race Theory. Math is racist, especially if we care about getting the right answers, according to Critical Race Theory. A rock on University of Wisconsin, Madison, campus property is racist, according to Critical Race Theory. Schools, government institutions, businesses, classical music, Beethoven specifically, art, hiking, going outside, the pandemi
