Social Anaesthesia? The power to remember and forget.
The state and institutions are constantly on the warpath, either overtly or more subtly, to counter or even censor them, as anything seen as critical of the construct is seen as destabilizing and dangerous. The last thing governing bodies want, is an independent, free-thinking, aware population, difficult to control, questioning of edicts, non-compliant particularly in matters of finance and taxation.
To this end it is important that people see taxation not as an evil but as good. Thus they are directed towards the social state providing education, health care, policing, and all the other benefits state spending provides, whilst blythly overlooking the endemic waste, corruption and destruction it inevitably entails.
The majority, as was always the case, is kept silent and compliant by 'bread and circuses'. In modern times the Roman Colosseum has been replaced by film and television, latterly disrupted by the medium of the internet and its social platforms, hence the political campaign to control it coming from government or even the platforms themselves.
Government is anxious to portray itself as benign and philanthropic, broad-minded and tolerant, but the test of it is not provided by the unquestioning and compliant but by those who reveal the truth and challenge the prevailing ethos.
It is likely if you do, and particularly if you get a significant following, you will feel the chill winds of a system that is able to conjure up very good reasons for shutting you down.
It is the dark underbelly of the 'Liberal Democratic State', never satisfied with the multitudinous crimes it has established, without demanding more, in which like fish people can be enmeshed. Shoals in the nets of advertising, media and carefully camoflaged propaganda; individuals on the line and hook of civil or criminal prosecution. Anyone who has followed the subject is able to think of the many instances where this has been the case.
However there are signs that the population is becoming increasingly aware of how it has been manipulated, locally, nationally, globally, and is becoming more resistent.
Both in America and Europe, elections have reflected it. Politicians are being made to change their direction of travel. For probably the first time scepticism and distrust have become prevailing sentiments, and the 'bread and circus' seen to be less effective.
The nonsense of 'net zero'; the suggested threat of CO2; the impractibility of electrification of transport; the suggested dangers of Covid; the denial of the dangers of vaccination; the complicity in and damage of, the drug industry - both legal and illegal; the created wars in Ukraine and Palestine and the way they have been portrayed; the way in which the law has been used to abuse and control the masses; all these things and more have contributed to the ill-ease, or should I say 'disease', that now affects the Western democracies and contributed to the rise of populist leaders and parties.
Over the last two nights I have re-watched the four episodes of the 1978 BBC production, 'Law and Order' written by G. F. Newman and directed by Les Blair. It is about how an admitted criminal was framed for a crime he did not commit, the underpinning corruption of the prosecution system and the breaking of a man's will to accept the unjust punishment.
(G.F. Newman remembers 'Law and Order'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002102w/gf-newman-remembers-law-and-order )
It was shocking in 1978 and it is still shocking now but hopefully less surprising.
On the one hand it carries the notion of rough justice insofar 'he had it coming'; on the other that it cannot be right that a man could be gaoled and mistreated for twenty years for a crime he was not involved in as a result of bribes, threats and false evidence.
We may like to think that post-PACE such a situation would not be possible, yet there are indications nothing has fundamentally changed and in certain respects has got worse. The Times recently reported that 99% of thefts and burglaries in London are not even investigated! Dismissal of police officers for misconduct and crimes has never been higher - a good sign or a bad sign depending on how you see it.
Yet British gaols, despite early release and alternative punishments, have never held more prisoners - over 95.000 at the last count. In parallel reports of suicide and self-harm have never been higher either - 92 of the former and a staggering 64, 348 of the latter, in just England and Wales in the twelve months up to September 2023.
This indeed is the dark underbelly of a civilized society that nobody really wants to think about and which the Government doesn't want you to think about, as you watch your football, cricket, golf, snooker or whatever. It is an indicator of both the nature of society and the prison environment. At base it is how we treat one another.
The situation in the United States, that paragon of the Rights of Man, individual freedom and 'the American Dream', is much worse. Roughly 1.8 million are incarcerated - that's more than in even China with four times the population and greater poverty.
Globally illegal drugs are at the centre of crime, corruption and ruination of lives and communities. In Britain alone a 2020 report estimated the illegal drugs trade to be worth around ten billion pounds and the cost to society twice that. You can be sure four years later it is very much higher.
More than 300,000 are addicted to hard drugs (heroin etc) and deaths from these have never been higher on an increasing trend - twice what it was in 2012 and around five thousand a year. Successful take-down of drug imports represent only a tiny proportion of the trade and the following are undoubtedly just the tip of the iceberg.
People with no hope and no purpose, the unhappy and unfulfilled, take drugs for excitement, fellowship, inclusion, although in most cases they have the opposite effect. Perhaps most of all it is to dull the senses - a form of anaesthesia - to disengage and forget, mirrored in society's attitude to the problem and people.
Billions of pounds have to be turned into legitimate money and this can only happen with the active involvement of banks and other commercial operations, such as real estate but these are seldom if ever targeted. If 'Law and Order' is anything to go by, should we not give closer attention to wealthy law enforcers and practioners and to those that sit at the top of these crime companies?

It was in 1956 that the German philosopher Günther Anders, born on July 12, 1902, wrote this premonitory reflection:
"To quell any revolt in advance, above all, it is not necessary to take it violently. Archaic methods like Hitler are sorely outdated. It is enough to create collective conditioning by drastically reducing the level and quality of education, to bring it back to a form of professional placement."An uneducated individual has only a limited thinking horizon, and the more his thinking is confined to mediocre, material concerns, the less he can revolt." Access to knowledge must be made more and more difficult and elitist... that the gap between the people and science widens, that the information intended for the general public is anesthetized from any subversive content.Again, persuasion must be used and not direct violence: we will broadcast massively, via television, abusive entertainment, always flattering the emotional, the instinct. »"We will occupy the minds with what is futile and playful. It's good with incessant chatter and music, to prevent the mind from wondering, thinking, reflecting. »"We will put sexuality at the forefront of human interests. As a social anesthetist, there is nothing better. Generally, we will make sure to ban the seriousness of existence, to ridicule everything that has high value, to maintain a constant apology of frivolity; so that the euphoria of advertising, consumption become the standard and model of human happiness of freedom "Günther Anders“The obsolescence of man. » 1956
When I saw an image of Lammy shaking hands with that killer it made me sick to the stomach. How they engineered a total black out of our part in the Palestinian genocide during the election that is still continuing, unabated unprevented. If the West can do it there, it can do it here. Be afraid. Be very afraid. He recently made a statement in the House of Commons. It purports to demand a ceasefire whilst Israel continues to bomb even 'safe' tented areas. How can we regard it as other than cynical grandstanding and polemic intended to quell discontent in the ranks, when Britain has for the last nine months actively supported the illegal and genocidal Izraili regime with frequent targeting RAF flights, GCHQ intercepts passed to the IDF, allowing the use of Cyprus to listen in and as a base for weapon delivery, allowing American planes to stop over on British soil. And in nine months never a word of condemnation of the brutal, sytematic obliteration of a whole region and population. To anyone with a mind, Britain has been a supporter of this humanitarian outrage from the beginning, confirmed by the smug faces of Netanyahu meeting western leaders and Lammy shaking hands with killers.
1.8.2024: Who has heard of Albert Meltzer or Israel Zangwill today? This essay from 1942, before the horrors of Hitler's anti-Jewish policies in Europe became widely known, before his downfall had been assured, and at the very start of a Palestine-based Zionist nationalism, is interesting for its analysis and prediction of a problem that has come to dominate and corrupt the world of events, the potential consequences of which are too horrible to contemplate. The irony of course is that the justification for a 'Jewish Homeland' in that part of the world, is predicated on a religious belief that few Israeli ascribe to and which is opposed by those that do. The real reason for the emergence of a facist military state is fear, greed, obsessive self interest, factional hatred and an absence of empathy for anyone but their own tribe. It has facilitated the very worst in human attitudes and behaviour that can only be described as ferocious, brutal and animalistic, whilst pretending all the while to be Western-approved, liberal, civilized and democratic. To our shame the West has been prepared to go along with this disgraceful deceit, labelling the defenders of an oppressed and tortured people as 'terrorists', thus making all the outrageous violence perpatrated against them, somehow excusable, even justified. The reason for this complicity in evil and the abandonment of every Christian and liberal value is embedded in the need to maintain the pretence of a 'special relationship' with the USA, which itself is controlled by the Zionist lobby for economic and political reasons, even though those are themselves inimicable to the best interests of the American people and the principles of the Constitution. These later spawned the United Nations Charter that it has so flagrantly failed to live up to and support, as was obviously displayed by the recent appearance of the War Criminal Netanyahu before the Congress - an event that in common with the Canadian clapping of a Nazi apparatchik, will remain as a shameful reminder of how far the ethics of the West have fallen in these matters. Lives and morality have no value in the prism of debased western beliefs and obsessions based on gold and oil for which eternal geo-political enmity and hostility must be created with all its human suffering and dangers. When the West actively facilitates and supports the sort of bestiality we have witnessed in Gaza, we know it is doomed.
The covid episode was a case study in how a mass psychosis can be achieved so easily by a government and that is a sobering thought. The minds of millions can be intentionally and irrationally warped, and the covid era is the unmistakable proof. All you need is the money (from tax of course), to pay a PR firm and psychologists to ramp up fear and people can be persuaded or cajoled to comply with rules and behaviour however stupid or limiting. The only defence against this is the ability to challenge and discuss the ideas and policy, to stand up against draconian measures that undermine absolutely fundamental principles of free speech, association and movement. As I have stated many times, the so called 'first wave' of deaths, may have involved an infectious flu-like virus, but given the affected cohort - the very elderly and sick predominently in institutions - the primary cause was far more likely to be the medical protocols to which they were subject. This is supported by witness evidence and by the application of suppressant medicines such as Midazolam, the quantities of which used increased exponentially. Yet Government has signally failed to investigate this phenomenom, presumably because it would seriously undermine the whole rationale of Lock-down, that caused so much peripheral damage. The public health risk was never what it was made out to be. The measures adopted were therefore excessive and unnecessary. In common parlance it was a 'balls-up' from start to finish, which all subsequent Government policy has sought to play down and cover up. It is a mistake, whether benign or malign, should never be allowed to happen again.
23.8.2024:
A question sent to Mike Yeadon on his channel:
His Reply:
"I’m familiar with attempts to edit function of genes by systematically varying one of the base pairs in each position in the gene.
A now classified technique is called an “alanine scan”. Different amino acids have side chains that vary by size, charge & lipophilicity. The smallest, simplest and uncharged residue or side chain is alanine, a mere methyl (-CH3) group.
Much of the function of a protein turns on the properties of the side chains of the amino acids in the protein of polypeptide sequence.
Systemically swapping each out for an alanine, followed by checking specific functions of the protein, called an alanine scan, can be very informative about what the overall function of the gene product is.
It’s far from easy, trying to deduce the function, or the point, of the gene.
The way we classify the results of each experiment in that alanine scan is to note no changes in function, a loss of function (if it no longer does what the original or native gene) or - and here’s where I think this all comes from - a gain of function (if it does the same thing the native form did, but more potently, ie at lower concentrations, or if it now has a function that wasn’t there originally).
I think the terms we used in this molecule biology technique, coupled with biochemistry techniques, which were N (neutral), LOF (loss of function) or GOF (gain of function) are the origin of the fictional technique called Gain Of Function research.
In other words, the scary-sounding “Gain Of Function” term has been “weaponised”, to use the modern slang.
As a discipline, GOF does not exist. It’s a possible result (GOF) from use of an exploratory technique.
I expect if you searched Google Scholar for “alanine scan” & “gain of function”, you’ll find papers utilising what I’ve described very badly.
I further expect if there are papers purely on “Gain of Function” that they’ll either be recent, like the last 15-20 years or less, or we’ll find that the author of a review or a research paper is still mixed up today with the fraud on humanity.
There’s no scientific evidence for acute respiratory illnesses being infectious in nature and especially not contagious. Review of a large trove of published research, attempting to demonstrate transmission of symptoms, aka contagion, all report failure. There is no scientific study in which a so-called “respiratory virus” can be detected or truly isolated. The obvious explanation is that the entire field is lies. The illnesses are real. The attribution to “virus” is scientifically unsupported logically.
I must add PCR fraud here, because the misuse of this powerful technique (invented after I’d qualified) has been the core means whereby the authorities can get their “pandemic”. However all they have is false positives. You’ll never see an absolutely fundamental aspect of any analogous diagnostic procedure & thars the “operational false positive rate”. Low OFPRs can generate very satisfactory numbers of fake “cases”, if enough tests are run daily.
In the case of the fake “covid19” “pandemic”, the radical changes in medical practices in hospitals, care homes and the community rather predictably led to large numbers of deaths. This is called “Iatrogenic” deaths or “death by doctor”.
There’s the “pandemic”.
Pandemics are immunologically implausible and I think impossible."
