Use of fear to control behaviour in Covid crisis was ‘totalitarian’, admit scientists

The Telegraph:

Members of Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour express regret about ‘unethical’ methods

Scientists on a committee that encouraged the use of fear to control people’s behaviour during the Covid pandemic have admitted its work was “unethical” and “totalitarian”.

Members of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviour (SPI-B) expressed regret about the tactics in a new book about the role of psychology in the Government’s Covid-19 response.

SPI-B warned in March last year that ministers needed to increase “the perceived level of personal threat” from Covid-19 because “a substantial number of people still do not feel sufficiently personally threatened”.

Gavin Morgan, a psychologist on the team, said: “Clearly, using fear as a means of control is not ethical. Using fear smacks of totalitarianism. It’s not an ethical stance for any modern government. By nature I am an optimistic person, but all this has given me a more pessimistic view of people.”

Mr Morgan spoke to author Laura Dodsworth, who has spent a year investigating the Government’s tactics for her book A State of Fear, published on Monday.

Ministers have faced repeated accusations that they ramped up the threat from the pandemic to justify lockdowns and coerce the public into abiding by them – a claim that will be examined by the forthcoming public inquiry into the pandemic response.

(Let’s hope they end up somewhere they can deeply think about their abuse of public trust for a long long time and not much else to do.)

“Criminal charges have been filed against Martin Ackermann, the head of the Swiss National Covid-19 Science Task Force and “possibly other parties involved”, for deliberately and successfully frightening the population in accordance with Art. 258 of the Criminal Code.” “The criminal complaint was submitted by five associations and seven private individuals, as they wrote in a message on Friday. Including associations such as the “Friends of the Constitution” and the youth movement “Mass-Voll”.”
“The plaintiffs accuse Martin Ackermann of the following crimes, among others:

Repeated publication of implausible horror prognoses regarding the occupancy of the intensive care beds, with the aim of terrifying the public and implementing more stringent measures.” “Repeated and systematic manipulation of past ICU bed data, presumably with the aim of making the current situation appear more dramatic.” “False statements about hospitalizations and deaths.” “Constantly changing reasons for tightening or maintaining the measures, depending on which indicator fits best into the desired narrative.”

Second World Wide demonstration for Freedom Saturday May 15, 2021

It appears there will be another world wide demonstration tomorrow against totalitarian Covid measures that increasingly appear unjustified. The list of cities and times are at this link. This is the same organization that put together the last world wide demo against lockdowns. The claim is that tomorrow is the first anniversary of some of the more odious measures perpetrated on us all. Well close enough.

I do hope as many of you as possible make it out to your local one.

Think of it this way. When the Anthropogenic (man caused) global warming hysteria was at its peak, many astronomers pointed out that both Mars and Jupiter were warming at the same time and degree relative to their distance to the Sun as the Earth was. As clearly there was no American factories making anything on either of those fine planets, it was clear that the AGW model was a hoax intended for some other purpose than the betterment of the environment.

Well we now have enough data from areas that did no lock downs whatsoever to know that they made no difference and if anything, the areas that locked down did worse than places that stayed open. This can likely be explained by the intensity with which, leftist controlled states and nations tested healthy people with a mighty high amplification (or sensitivity rate if you like), on the PCR test for the virus. A test that was never meant to be used as a diagnostic tool in the first place. Each time healthy people were shown to have even a fragment of the virus in their systems they became “a case” even though they were not diseased or infected in any way at all.

More on that soon as we have a stunning video from a prestigious world class Thai hospital who managed to keep the case rate in Thailand down to 1/1000,000 people by simply not testing healthy people and giving sick people a proper diagnosis rather than scrambling after Covid in all cases of a sore throat. That should be up later.

Meanwhile, Tomorrow is a world wide demonstration for Freedom, and nowhere is that needed more than in Canada at this time. So please, find your city, and join your fellow human beings demanding their basic freedoms back. You don’t have to agree with them all, identify with them all, or like them all. But if you expect others to listen to, or respect your views, then we must give them the same courtesy. And generally at these events, you meet some pretty vibrant and wonderful people and leave with a sense of optimism you don’t feel often any more.

Otherwise, well look at this event in Aylmer Ontario today. Yet another Church closed down and its congregants locked out.

The severity of the lies from officials grow mightily in Rhode Island

In the following video of Dr. Andrew Bostom on the weekly show, In the Dugout, Andrew raises two major issues.

The first is that Rhode Island is vaccinating down to 12 years old, and is pushing to give the mRNA shots to babies as young as SIX MONTHS old. There is just no clinical data suggesting that the risk benefit allows for this. Put another way, its is indisputable that inoculating children this young carries more danger than the disease itself, even if they catch it.

The second issue cannot be misinterpreted as a kind of difference of opinion among scientists. It is a flat out lie, and one Dr. Bostom refers to as of Goebbels magnitude. The Governor of Rhode Island made the claim that the injection offers better immunity than people who had the disease and recovered from it. This is not just a lie but is the opposite of the truth. The injection, according to Dr. Bostom, can actually damage the T cells of a recovered covid patient. The T cells on their own offer broad and powerful immunity from all variants of Covid 19 for at least 18 years so far based on clinical trials of samples from people tested recently for SARS which they recovered from in 2002.

This video is 25 minutes long, but for those that want the latest factual data both on the various *vaccines being offered to people, and the politics around taking or refusing them, this is well worth the time.

Trudeau to implement all kinds of internal need for vaccine passports WITHIN Canada

It’s a kooky right wing conspiracy theory right up to the moment its law.

Man in Alberta given $2800.00 fine for walking near an anti-lockdown demo

A friend of this site sent in the following information and video:

My friend lives in Alberta. He was on his way to a rally out west. He got a $2,800 ticket!!! 
>It does not seem like he was even close to the rally yet.

And from the man you see in this video:

please share my attached video far and wide, thank you.

The Public Health clowns controlled by the WHO/UN weaponize the police to silence any thought that is not part of the state narrative. 

We have to save our children.

This is not about public safety. It never was.

For the second time, the smoking gun of Chinese bioweapons and Covid is out in public

Please watch both these videos and spread them around. It is time for us to realize China is most definitly at war with the rest of the world, that Covid is indeed a weapon of war, and most of our own politicians either through incompetence, by being forced or blackmailed, or because they are ideologically in line with China, are on the other side.

For anyone who has the slightest doubt of the veracity of the video above, I would like to point you to a video we subtitled from Italian TV last year, which was actually broadcast five years ago in Italy.
