Don’t underestimate the power of your influence
We all need to do what we can to #StoptheWHO
The World Health Organisation has blood on its hands. Utterly compromised by private interests, it is directly implicated in the greatest crime against humanity this world has ever seen. At best, you could describe it as parlous mismanagement of a global pandemic, but I would argue that continually promoting experimental gene therapies even as the adverse events racked up on its own reporting system goes rather beyond mismanagement.
As mass panic about Covid-19 spread, the WHO could have been a voice of reason. It could have acted as an impartial public health advisory, evaluating the evidence, recommending early treatments, and giving people at the very least an informed choice on whether to have these new vaccines or not. Its remit is ‘to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable’. It has failed.
In a sane world, this failure would be enough to require an international investigation of the WHO and an accounting of its Covid-19 recommendations. But we all know that sanity, at least in the corridors of so-called power, has long departed. Instead, the WHO seems to believe it has not done enough, has not wielded enough influence. As I’ve mentioned previously, it now wants the power to not only call a pandemic, but to call a ‘potential or actual health emergency’, and then to override the constitutions of sovereign nations to force its disastrous public health policies on millions of men, women and children.
This is what is effectively being proposed through amendments to the International Health Regulations, and it is madness.
The next flu season could be enough for the WHO to try on its new powers and force us back into lockdowns, introducing mandates for inadequately tested new drugs and therapies. Some may think that the WHO would never do such a thing. But the point is, with the suggested amendments, it could.
Member states vote on the IHR amendments in two weeks’ time. If the vote is passed, each member state has six months to reject them. If that state does nothing, then it is assumed that the amendments have been accepted. You can find out more about the amendments here.
Reader, we must do what we can to stop this. Some of you have commented that you feel powerless in the face of so much power. I understand, but I am here to tell you that we are never powerless. The last two years have shown me more than ever how the impact of our actions always ripples out, far beyond the field of our own vision.
Have faith in your own influence. You may never know what impact that conversation you had with a friend really had, or the poster you shared on your social media page. None of us ever really knows, but we take action anyway because we feel in our bones it’s the right thing to do. Our individual actions and intent for a better world pooled together make us together very powerful. In early 2021 when I shared my video pleading with Boris Johnson to read my systematic review on Ivermectin and save lives, I did not get the result I wanted: Boris did nothing. But that one action led to another and another, and I began to connect with like-minded, heart-centred people, which ultimately led to the establishment of World Council for Health – with 150+ partners across 50 countries, and growing daily.
Right now we are getting ready for a conference where some of the most expert and brilliant people from around the world are gathering to co-create a better way forward for humanity and our beautiful planet. One of the panel conversations focuses on the question, ‘How can the law serve human rights?’. Reiner Fuellmich, Dr Astrid Stuckelberger, Professor Dolores Cahill, and several other eminent lawyers and human rights advocates will be addressing these IHR amendments directly. You are of course warmly welcome to join us for this conversation, whether in person or online. I recommend you invite your friends around and make a party of it!
By the end of the conference, we will have what we need to draw up a charter of our own, by the people and for the people. I can’t wait to share it. In the meantime, let’s do what we can to raise awareness; let’s do what we can to #StoptheWHO.

The Rise of the New Normal Reich
Itold you this part wasn’t going to be pretty. I didn’t think it would get to the point where the Wall Street Journal would go full Buck Turgidson and call on the United States to “show it can win a nuclear war,” but I wasn’t entirely off the mark either.
Back in January (i.e., a million years ago), in The Last Days of the Covidian Cult, I wrote:
…we are getting dangerously close to the point where GloboCap will need to go full-blown fascist if they want to finish what they started. If that happens, things are going to get very ugly. I know, things are already ugly, but I’m talking a whole different kind of ugly. Think Jonestown, or Hitler’s final days in the bunker, or the last few months of the Manson Family.”
I don’t know about you, but I kind of feel like the threat of global thermonuclear war qualifies as a “different kind of ugly.” And, OK, before you accuse me of exaggerating the danger of the ungodly mess that GloboCap has made in the Ukraine, I’d like to point out that even Thomas Friedman is starting to sound the alarm.
Thomas fucking Friedman, folks … a man with no moral conscience whatsoever, who has never met a GloboCap war of aggression that he could not support, and who has justified the gratuitous barbecuing of millions of men, women, and children without so much as a second thought throughout his long and lucrative career as an A-List mouthpiece for the ruling classes. When The Stash gets nervous, I start to get nervous.
Also, there’s the GloboCap Nazi thing. I’m not exactly a hothouse flower, but I have to admit that watching my liberal friends and colleagues go goo-goo for actual swastika-tattooed, Sieg-heiling Nazis has rattled my nerves a little bit. OK … I’m sorry, we’re not allowed to call them “Nazis.” I believe “defenders” is the term du jour.
Seriously, here’s an actual screenshot from The Guardian featuring the leader of the neo-Nazi Azov Detachment…
Oh, and meanwhile, as the rough beast slouches toward Bethlehem, and the former fanatical Covidian Cultists turned fanatical Ukrainian Cultists scream for “more weapons” and “more direct engagement,” and revel in their anguish for the wives of neo-Nazis, the official history of the 2020-2021 Covid pandemic is being written and the actual history being memory-holed in real time, right before our eyes.
For example, you might have seen this video of Bill Gates reciting some of the basic facts that we “Science-denying conspiracy theorists” have been censored, deplatformed, demonetized, demonized, and otherwise relentlessly persecuted for reporting for the past two years, as if these facts had just been discovered. In terms of gaslighting, it doesn’t get much better.
And then there’s the massive number of deaths and injuries caused by the totally “safe and effective, non-experimental vaccines,” the extent of which damage is becoming undeniable, but which is nevertheless being adamantly denied, and which will be disappeared from the official history. This is from the Berliner Zeitung…
The number of serious complications after vaccinations against Sars-CoV-2 is possibly 40 times higher than officially stated by the Paul Ehrlich Institute. This is one of the interim results of a long-term observational study by Berlin Charité. The head of the study, Professor Harald Matthes, [stated]: ‘In light of around half a million cases with serious side effects after Covid vaccinations in Germany, we doctors have to take action.’ Matthes is now calling for contact points for those affected. ‘We have to offer treatment, and discuss this openly at conferences and in public without being considered anti-vaccination,’ Matthes said.”
And those are just a few examples of the Orwellian transitional phase we are in. As I’ve been writing and saying, over and over, GloboCap is going totalitarian on us (or as totalitarian as global-capitalism can go). I’m not going to get into all the details in this column, because I’ve done that in several previous columns, and…well, because I need to try to sell you a book.
Hold on, don’t click away just yet. Let me tell you why you should buy this book. No, it is not because I need the money. (Of course I need the money. I do this for a living.) It’s because of that “history” thing I just mentioned above.
What the book is, mostly, is an unofficial history, an as-it-happened history of the roll-out of the New Normal, the actual history, which being rewritten and memory-holed at breakneck speed. This memory-holing is being conducted by GloboCap, but it is also being conducted by the millions of previously normal-seeming people who went “New Normal fascist” during the past two years and would now very much like to pretend they didn’t.
I’m sure you remember some of these people, and how they suddenly morphed into shrieking fascists who wanted to segregate “the Unvaccinated,” strip us of our jobs, lock us up in camps, and otherwise punish us for not following orders and conforming to the new official ideology. Many of them are still fascistically shrieking. They’ve just switched from shrieking about the pandemic to shrieking about the war in the Ukraine, like the Outer Party Members switching official enemies during Hate Week in Orwell’s 1984.
Which is another thing I get into in the book. I wrote a lengthy introductory essay exploring the question of how nominally democratic societies all around the world could be so suddenly and easily transformed into pathologized-totalitarian police states. You’re probably not going to like my conclusion. It isn’t mass formation psychosis, or any other form of insanity.
Anyway, the point is, in a month or two, or possibly a year or two, the actual history of the roll-out of this new global-capitalist form of totalitarianism will have disappeared and been replaced with an official history reviewed and approved by the Disinformation Governance Board of the US Department of Homeland Security and its equivalents throughout Europe and the rest of the world, and Facebook, and Twitter, and other unaccountable supranational corporations and non-governmental governing entities. So you probably want to have a hard copy record of what really happened, as it happened, to remind yourself and show your kids.
It isn’t going away, the New Normal. I want it to be over as much as you do, but the truth is, it is just getting started. I’ll keep trying to document and analyze it (and occasionally find some humor in it), because … well, there’s that quote by George Santayana, something about those who can’t remember the past. I think you know how the rest of it goes.
That’s it. That’s the pitch. Here’s the book, and some good things some good people have said about it …
It’s available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble now, and Booktopia, if you live in New Normal Australia, and will be available soon from most online booksellers. Or you can physically order it at your local bookstore … assuming you still have a local bookstore.

Energy Currency: Your Money Won’t Help You
One of the main tenets of Technocracy is the abolition of private property. This has always been the case, even from the 1930s when Technocracy was first conceived as a coherent economic system run by scientists and engineers. The early Technocrats wanted to scrap money altogether and substitute “Energy Certificates” instead.
The Technocracy Study Course (1934, Scott & Hubbert) clearly delineated the requirement:
“Under a technological administration of abundance there is only one efficient method-that employing a system of Energy Certificates. By this system all books and records pertaining to consumption are kept by the Distribution Sequence of the social mechanism. The income is granted to the public in the form of Energy Certificates. These certificates are merely pieces of paper containing certain printed matter. They are issued individually to every adult of the entire population.” (p. 288) [Emphasis added]
At the end of the allocation period, all Energy Certificates would expire and the citizen would receive a new allocation for the next period. Thus, there was no provision for saving wealth from period to period. Since the ownership of private property had already eradicated, there was no way to accumulate anything. They expected you to just live hand-to-mouth at their sole discretion.
Your children would fare no better. Since you could not accumulate wealth, you would have nothing to leave as inheritance.
R.I.P Capitalism and Free Enterprise.
Crazy or Not, Here We Come
This snaps the mind of most people. It’s too fantastical and radical. It couldn’t happen here.
Oh really? Then process this: The International Social Transformation Conference held in 2012 in Croatia that specifically focused on “Energy Currency: Energy as the Fundamental Measure of Price, Cost and Value.”
Insignificant, you say? The press release stated that “The event featured about 80 prominent economists, scientists and scholars from around the world,” including the World Academy of Art & Sciences. At the end of the conference, the participants pledged to use their resources to petition the European Union and the United Nations to adopt an Energy Currency.
The United Nations, with its Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development initiatives, is well ahead of the curve on Technocracy. On February 3, 2015, Christiana Figueres stated in a press conference,
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution…That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.”[Emphasis added]
Figueres is the Executive Secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, and is the undisputed global driver for implementing climate-change policies and Sustainable Development.
This is the first time that the United Nations has plainly stated that their goal is to destroy Capitalism and Free Enterprise. What will replace it? The economic machinery of Technocracy with Energy Currency as the lubricant for the gears.
If you have trouble reasoning this through, you are not alone, but if you get nothing else out of this, make it this: The scientific dictatorship of Technocracy will destroy 100% of your wealth and remove all means of recovering it in the future.
America Can and Must Reject Technocracy
Technocracy may conquer the rest of the world, but it is not a foregone conclusion that America must succumb – but that is up to Americans like you and I. If we do nothing, we will lose everything. If we do something (to reject Technocracy), we may lose everything in the short run but at least we will have the means to regain our losses in the future.
The fact that citizens will not let go of their hard-earned money to fight Technocracy only tells me that they still don’t believe what is clearly stated above. This is really sad, and I hope it changes soon. The fact of the matter is, your money can only help you now, while you still have some left. It will certainly not help you in the future if Technocracy wins and takes it all away.
The same goes for your time and activism. Your activism is worth something today, but there will be no protesting if Technocracy reigns.
Conclusion
This is my country as much as it is yours. We are under attack by an heretofore unknown and unseen enemy that cannot be destroyed unless all corners of our nation come together to fight.
What? Do you think the Tea Party alone can destroy Technocracy? Or the John Birch Society? Or Republicans? Or Libertarians? or Democrats? No, we need all Americans in this fight, and we need lay down arms against each other for the sake of winning the greater war that threatens us all.
The book, Technocracy Rising: The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation, is the lightening rod that can energize our generation to take action. It is the only book in publication that identifies the threat as well as the enemy. If you have read this article to the end and understood the implications but have not yet read Technocracy Rising, do it now. Failure to learn and alleviate ignorance will be not be viable excuses for where we are headed.

Totalitarianism and Perpetual War: 1984, A Case Study
By Prachi Jain
In this literary case study, Prachi Jain balances a close reading of Orwell’s classic 1984 with a discussion of Hannah Arendt and Charles Tilly’s scholarship on totalitarian regimes.
George Orwell’s 1984 describes a dystopian society in which the future of London, a city in the super-state of Oceania, is abysmal and steeped in totalitarianism and perpetual war. As seen through the eyes of Winston, a humble citizen turned impassioned rebel, the control of the totalitarian regime “Ingsoc” is an undeniable part of every citizen’s life in Oceania. This, combined with the regime’s state of perpetual war with either Eastasia or Eurasia over disputed territory, makes these themes in 1984 an interesting case for analysis through the lens of Charles Tilly’s “War Making and State Making as Organized Crime” and Hannah Arendt’s Origins of Totalitarianism. Through this analysis, it is clear Oceania holds a monopoly on violence and is engaged in war making, in fact perpetual war making, through external and internal extractions. Additionally, it is a totalitarian utopia because of its efficient use of the secret police for identification of objective enemies, its monopoly on facts, and its desensitization of generations of citizens.
The Lost Meaning of ‘War’
In order to understand the complicated foreign relations Oceania has with Eastasia and Eurasia, it is first essential to apply Charles Tilly’s theories about war making as organized crime and war leading to creation of states. According to Tilly, states engage in four actions:
- War making: Eliminating or neutralizing their own rivals outside the territories in which they have clear and continuous priority as wielders of force
- State making: Eliminating or neutralizing their rivals inside those territories
- Protection: Eliminating or neutralizing the enemies of their clients
- Extraction: Acquiring the means of carrying out the first three activities—war making, state making, and protection (Tilly, 1985, p.181)
Oceania is already a state, as described by Emmanuel Goldstein, a former Party member and assumed leader of the Brotherhood: “With the absorption of Europe by Russia and the British Empire by the United States, two of the three existing powers, Eurasia and Oceania, were already effectively in being. The third, Eastasia, only emerged as a distinct unit after another decade of confused fighting” (Orwell, 2015, p.185). This is important because it highlights that the territories of the three super states are already decided and that all three are evenly matched in terms of strength in warfare. Surely war played a part in creating the three super states themselves; however, the meaning of war in the novel contrasts with Tilly’s argument about war as international relations. While Tilly (1985) points to war being waged to defend or enhance a position within the system (p.184), in the novel, Goldstein’s book explains that war has lost all meaning, since there is no victory, and war is never ending between the three states. The sole purpose of the war between Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia is to keep the wheels of industry churning without increasing the wealth of the world. Thus by the Party’s standards, war is peace. The Party’s foreign policy concerning war is reflected in the oppression of its citizens because the continuous war destroys any surplus of consumer goods, keeping inhabitants in a vicious circle of poverty.
Even though motivations for war are interpreted differently by Tilly and Goldstein, war making does indeed lead to state making both in 1984 and in regimes observed by Tilly. As Tilly observed, European governments created a monopoly of violence by extending their officialdom to the local community through bureaucracies, similar to institutions such as the Ministries of Truth, Love, Plenty, and Peace in 1984. Each ministry’s purpose is a contradiction to its name. For example, the Ministry of Truth is a propaganda ministry, responsible for the falsification of historical records. The Ministries of Love, Plenty, and Peace are responsible for brainwashing, overseeing the rationing of food, supplies, and goods, and fueling perpetual war, respectively. Tilly describes how European governments also encouraged the creation of police forces that were subordinate to the government, a feature also seen in the novel as the more dangerous Thought Police. The Thought Police is an organization in Oceania that demands officers address Party loyalty by eradicating scores of people who go against Party beliefs.
Tilly (1985) also argues that protection is a double edged sword because “with one tone, protection calls up images of the shelter against the danger provided by a powerful friend… with the other, it evokes the racket in which a local strong man forces merchants to pay tribute in order to avoid damage” (p.170). When this theory is applied to states, it looks as if states can be organized as racketeers to the extent that false threats are created by the government to continue the cycle of war and maintain the illusion that states protect their citizens whether they demand it or not. This is applicable to Oceania, where it becomes apparent that the Party maintains a perpetual war with either Eastasia or Eurasia in order to manufacture a need for protection and then offer that protection to its citizens. Winston explains how “for several months during his childhood there had been confused street fighting in London itself” (Orwell, 2015, p. 33). He goes on: “Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia… actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years ago since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in an alliance with Eurasia” (Orwell, 2015, p. 35). There is mass confusion as to whether Oceania is at war with Eastasia or Eurasia because of the Party’s control of information and distortion of the past.
Perpetual war is important, Goldstein argues, because war extracts cheap foreign labor, which distracts the masses and ultimately keeps citizens poor to preserve a hierarchical society (Orwell, 2015, p. 189). Extraction, either internal or external, is the means by which the state executes its promise of protection and intention of state building. Internal extraction demands resources from the state’s own citizens, while external extraction exploits the conquered population’s resources—in this case, labor power. Tilly (1985) describes a need for internal extraction, one that states can monetize in forms “ranging from outright plunder to regular tribute to bureaucratized taxation” (p. 181). These forms of extraction are characterized as those that are obtained from within the state. Tilly (1985) also briefly comments on external extraction, writing that the “power holders’ pursuit of war involved them willy-nilly in the extraction of resources for war making from the populations over which they had control…” (p. 172). In Oceania, these extractions are external because perpetual war involves the conquest and exploitation of people in disputed areas.
Even though Tilly argues that internal extraction will lead to better protection, state making, and war making, I argue that Oceania’s external extraction (use of cheap foreign labor) combined with existing internal extraction efforts develop a state maintenance of sorts to preserve the Party’s quest of economic inequality. Oceania is engaged in war with the other two states for labor power, so “whichever power controls equatorial Africa, or the countries of the Middle East, or Southern India, or the Indonesian Archipelago, disposes also of the bodies of scores of hundreds of millions of ill-paid and hard-working coolies” (Orwell, 2015, p.187). Consequently, those hundreds of millions of workers are passed around from conqueror to conqueror as expendable resources that help each state sustain a perpetual war. Even without this external extraction, wars are financed by internal extraction (taxes, etc.). However, the non-domestic and low-cost labor keeps the war perpetual and expedites the war effort. External extraction also brings perpetual poverty for Oceania’s citizens by concentrating on the production of war materials, which are eventually destroyed.
Tilly describes what states do: war making, state making, protection, and extraction. In my analysis, Oceania is a state that engages in perpetual war making between Eastasia or Eurasia, not to defend its borders, but to incite fear in its citizens. War keeps power within the elite Inner Party members, thrusting everyone else into unceasing poverty. Tilly’s theory that war making leads to state making shows that power holders want to maintain their monopoly on violence. To do that, they create bureaucracies and strong police forces—elements emphasized through the Ministries of Peace, Plenty, Love, Truth, and the Thought Police in 1984. Furthermore, protection is a legitimized business in Oceania because the Party preserves the citizens in a state of never-ending fear by spreading propaganda about its current enemy. Finally, in addition to internal extraction (collection of taxes or tributes within Oceania) as a means for state making, war making, and protection, Oceania’s ruling party emphasizes external extraction of cheap foreign labor to fund and maintain protection policies and perpetual war. Ultimately, indefinite war making and state making as organized crime are so efficient that Oceania is classifiable as a totalitarian state.
London in a Dystopian Fog: A Totalitarian’s Dream
From page one Oceania is depicted as a totalitarian state, one that has remarkable parallels to The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt. Arendt explains how totalitarian regimes exchange the use of veiled threats and scientific proofs (a means of validating propaganda) in their efforts to direct commands once they are in power, to distinguish between suspect and objective enemies through their use of a secret police, and to spread their ideology so that neighbors appear more threatening. She distinguishes between all three aforementioned actions of totalitarian regimes both during their movement to gain power and after the regime has gained power (Arendt, 1958, p.345). The difference between these regimes is that once they are in power, justification of government actions is irrelevant. The Party of Oceania is examined through the totalitarian regime in power because the novel is set in a period in which the Party already successfully completed the totalitarian movement to power.
Arendt (1958) contends that “science in the instances of both business publicity and totalitarian propaganda is obviously only a surrogate for power. The obsession of totalitarian movements with ‘scientific’ proofs ceases once they are in power” (p. 345). In Oceania, the Party replaced scientific propaganda with direct commands, a characteristic of totalitarian regimes. The Party literally alters history (without justification) to reflect how well their regime is functioning at the present moment. For example, Winston works in the ironically named Ministry of Truth where he updates old newspapers with statements from the Party. One message read “times 19.12.83 forecasts 3 yp 4th quarter 83 misprints verify current issue” (Orwell, 2015, p. 38), which meant that the forecasts for various classes of consumption goods were incorrect and Winston had to rewrite the old forecasts to reflect the actual numbers. The control of information without justification is a classic characteristic of totalitarianism in power.
Another distinction for Arendt is the use of secret police or spy services to eliminate enemies, both objective and suspect. Suspect enemies are those who threaten the regime’s movement to power, or political opponents (Arendt, 1958, p.421). Objective enemies are enemies that threaten the existence of the regime in power; Arendt (1958) describes objective enemies as those “…defined by the policy of the government and not by his own desire to overthrow it” (p. 423). Suspect enemies are eliminated through the use of provocation in the totalitarian movement; objective enemies, on the other hand, are hunted once the regime is in power (Arendt, 1958, p.422). In the process of hunting down suspected enemies in the movement, the re-education of old party members is common amongst totalitarian regimes, and eventually “it is during this stage that a neighbor gradually becomes a more dangerous enemy to one who happens to harbor ‘dangerous thoughts’ than are the officially appointed police agents” (Arendt, 1958, p.422).
In 1984, Winston describes his neighbor’s children: “Both of them dressed in the blue shorts, gray shirts, and red neckerchiefs which were the uniform of the Spies” (Orwell, 2015, p.23). In Oceania, children are encouraged to join organizations such as the Spies and the Youth League so they can be brainwashed into thinking the Party’s word is the only truth. Eventually, generations of citizens are made paranoid if they oppose Party ideology—war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Although this process happens during the movement phase of totalitarianism, I argue that in 1984 ideology conditioning and paranoia are formally reinforced to younger generations after the regime is in power to ensure the survival of the regime. Winston describes his neighbor and co-worker, Parsons, as “one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended” (Orwell, 2015, p.22). He goes on to describe how Parsons’ kids are becoming indoctrinated with the same loyalty to the Party when one of the kids calls Winston a traitor and accuses him of thought crime (Orwell, 2015, p.22). Undoubtedly, the Party rigorously trains younger generations to report thought crimes even after the regime is in power.
In the case of 1984, it seems an objective enemy is anyone who commits thought crime or goes against Party ideology, which is adjustable according to the changing will of the leader. The members of the Outer Party in Oceania are labeled objective enemies since the “Proles” are left alone and treated like animals. According to Arendt (1958), objective enemies are hunted, not targeted for a reason, so “the task of the totalitarian police is not to discover crimes, but to be on hand when the government decides to arrest a certain category of the population” (p. 426). In 1984, the telescreens are mandatory 24/7 monitoring devices that cannot be turned off and are the equivalent of Arendt’s secret police, while the Thought Police officers are just a vehicle for carrying out exterminations or making a person an “unperson” (one who is caught by the Thought Police and eliminated from history itself). An example of an objective enemy is Syme, Winston’s friend in the research department. While conversing with Winston about Newspeak, Syme asserts “…the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought” (Orwell, 2015, p.52) and several chapters later, he is found to never have existed. Therefore, it seems Syme was eliminated just because he was able to understand the true nature of Newspeak (thought conformity), qualifying him as an objective enemy who could spread ideas about the Party’s true intentions.
Oceania embodies the utopian goal of the totalitarian leader because Oceania has all the attributes Arendt defined as totalitarian, only more efficient. The Party in Oceania is totalitarian because the party is already in power and can justify the absence of “scientific” facts, the separation of suspect and objective enemy through the use of a secret police, and the education of younger generations toward Party loyalty.
Conclusion
Analyzing Charles Tilly’s idea of war making and Hannah Arendt’s concept of totalitarianism reveals important similarities to Oceania. Similar to Tilly’s idea of state expansion and war making as organized crime, Oceania engages in state making through its institutions and is in a perpetual war with international states for the illusion of protecting its citizens. Oceania’s external extraction policy further supports the eternal war through its exploitation of cheap foreign labor. Analogous to Arendt’s description of totalitarian regimes, the Party is also totalitarian because of its desire to eliminate objective enemies, be the sole expert on factual information, and desensitize the younger generations of citizens to the ways of the Party.

Top 10 “science” conspiracy theories in full effect right now

This article may contain statements that reflect the opinion of the author
- (Natural News) For decades, the skeptics of vaccines and pharmaceuticals have been hammered with the same old ‘mantra’ that everything created in a laboratory, since the 1950s, is “safe and effective.” Yet, we’ve all seen the damage done by vaccines, especially when you see how many young boys (at least 1 in every 60) are “on the spectrum” of autism, which mysteriously develops AFTER birth and mainly before 6 years of age, during the vaccine onslaught of 60-plus CDC-recommended toxic injections that are supposedly so “safe and effective.”
Top that carnage off with millions of adult Americans suffering from PDS (prescription drug syndrome), where they take multiple meds for multiple symptoms, each one addressing the side effects of the others, and these are the SICKEST people on the planet, until their (decades early) demise. There’s not even time to talk about the pharma-created and propagated opioid epidemic and all the conspiracy theories about those “safe and effective” prescriptions for death. Got PDS? You can blame the conspiracy theorists.
Conspiracy theorists call vaccines and prescription medications “safe and effective” because the CDC spreads that propaganda far and wide.
Most of today’s “science” conspiracies have to do with medicine, namely vaccines, prescription drugs and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the mainstream medicine core route for battling cancer, yet chemotherapy has been PROVEN to spread the cancer and even create new cancers throughout the body. That’s why it is a conspiracy theory doctors and oncologists are spreading when they tell their patients that chemotherapy is their “best option” or that it has any decent rate of success at all, when it fails 97 percent of the time.
Even when chemotherapy does help cancer to recede, the cancer tumors usually come back with a vengeance a few years later, but the cancer industrial complex doesn’t justifiably attribute the nightmare relapse to chemotherapy. If they did, the world of chemotherapy victims would all be asking for a refund for $100s of thousands of dollars each.
The Earth is NOT getting hotter, and vaccines for COVID-19 are NOT safe or effective, those are just conspiracy theories
Every time there’s a tornado, hurricane, flood, tsunami, earthquake or drought, the climate change conspiracy theorists go wild, saying “see! — we told you so.” Yet, these events have been happening regularly on Earth since the beginning of time, and there are no more now than before, and it’s not hotter each summer, if you look at data that dates back on a big scale. NASA has been found guilty several times of cherry picking data, creating phony pictures, and minimizing charts to make it look like it’s getting hotter now than ever before.
That’s how the conspiracy theories get to whirling around in the wind (pun intended). People hear it on the fake news, and read it in the fake news newspapers. The propaganda is everywhere, and the same few politicians make a fortune off the “believers.” What’s new?
So without further ado, here are the top 10 “science” conspiracy theories in full effect right now:
Conspiracy #1: Vaccines work to prevent contraction, transmission, and ‘bad cases’ of COVID-19.
Conspiracy #2: Masks work to prevent contraction and transmission of Wuhan Flu.
Conspiracy #3: Global warming is happening now and is man-made.
Conspiracy #4: Remdesivir is a viable option for treating COVID-19.
Conspiracy #5: COVID-19 vaccines are “safe and effective”.
Conspiracy #6: “Benefits outweigh the risks” when it comes to vaccines.
Conspiracy #7: “Green energy” means zero carbon output.
Conspiracy #8: Men can birth babies.
Conspiracy #9: A male can turn into a female and a female a male at any given moment just by thinking it is so.
Conspiracy #10: The only way to end the pandemic is to do follow the CDC’s advice, even though it completely changes regularly.

Newborn Baby Deaths hit critical levels for 2nd time in 7 Months; is Pfizer’s Covid Jab to blame?
BY THE EXPOSÉ ON
The number of newborn babies sadly dying has surpassed critical levels for the 2nd time in 7 months in Scotland according to the Public Health Scotland database.
The discovery of these record-breaking deaths comes after it was revealed both Pfizer and Medicine Regulators hid the dangers of Covid-19 vaccination during pregnancy because the only study conducted found it increases the risk of birth defects & infertility.

Public Health Scotland (PHS) has a full dashboard on Covid-19 wider impacts on the health care system, found here, and it includes a whole range of data from mental health statistics to pregnancies, cardiovascular disorders data, and cancer.
Official figures reveal that the rate of neonatal deaths increased to 4.6 per 1000 live births in March 2022, a 119% increase on the expected rate of deaths. This means the neonatal mortality rate breached an upper warning threshold known as the ‘control limit’ for the second time in at least four years.
The last time it breached was in September 2021, when neonatal deaths per 1000 live births climbed to 5.1. Although the rate fluctuates month to month, the figure for both September 2021 and March 2022 is on a par with levels that were last typically seen in the late 1980s.
Public Health Scotland (PHS) has not formally announced they have launched an investigation, but this is what they are supposed to do when the upper warning threshold is reached, and they did so back in 2021.
At the time, PHS said the fact that the upper control limit has been exceeded “indicates there is a higher likelihood that there are factors beyond random variation that may have contributed to the number of deaths that occurred”.
Whilst the Covid-19 injections may not be to blame there is now plenty of evidence suggesting that they could well be.
At the end of April 2021, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) formally recommended that all pregnant women should be offered the Pfizer Covid-19 injection, despite the fact no studies had been performed to prove the safety of administering the injection during pregnancy.
However, despite the JCVI not officially advising the jab be offered to pregnant women until the end of April 2021, we know that they were being given it prior to this due to the number of miscarriages reported to the UK Medicine Regulator as of April 5th 2021.
This was also despite the fact the UK Government had clearly stated in the official ‘REG 174 INFORMATION FOR UK HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS‘ document prepared upon emergency authorisation of the Pfizer mRNA Covid-19 injection in December 2020, that the Pfizer jab was not recommended for use during pregnancy, pregnancy should be ruled out prior to vaccination, and women of childbearing age should avoid pregnancy for at least 2 months after their second dose.
But we now know that even this official advice withheld the true information, with Medicine Regulators around the world working in tandem with Pfizer to cover up the fact the only limited animal study performed to test the safety of the Pfizer vaccine in pregnancy found an increased rate of birth defects and infertility.
The full investigation of this fraud and deception can be read here,
But to summarise: a ‘Freedom of Information’ request alongside an in-depth dive into the only pregnancy/fertility study performed on the Pfizer Covid-19 injection revealed that Medicine Regulators and Pfizer chose to publicly cover-up alarming abnormalities of the developing foetus and falsely downgraded the actual risk of Covid-19 vaccination during pregnancy by suppressing documented findings of the clinical data.
These decisions led to medical professionals, who are far too trusting of Medicine Regulators, to wrongly inform pregnant women that the Covid-19 injections are perfectly safe during pregnancy, leading to many pregnant women feeling pressured to get vaccinated.
Another alarming real-world study also found that the rate of Miscarriage is 82% following Covid-19 Vaccination.
In July 2021, we exclusively revealed how data had been manipulated by scientists carrying out a real-world study for the CDC to show that Covid-19 vaccines were safe for use during pregnancy.
The authors claimed that the number of people to suffer a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) during the study was 104 out of 827 completed pregnancies, equating the risk of miscarriage at 12.6%; 7 – 12% lower than the risk of miscarriage in the general population.
However, our analysis proved that these numbers were extremely misleading due to the fact that of the 827 completed pregnancies, 700 / 86% of the women had received a dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine during the third trimester of pregnancy, meaning it was impossible for them to suffer a miscarriage due to the fact they can only occur prior to week 20 of pregnancy.
This meant that just 127 women received either the Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine during the first/second trimester, with 104 of the woman sadly losing their baby.
Therefore the rate of incidence of miscarriage was 82%, not 12.6% as presented in the findings of the study, and the authors of the study have since admitted that they made a mistake, issuing a correction six months too late because the study has been used to justify Covid-19 vaccination of pregnant women and new mothers around the world.
Another study conducted in Japan on behalf of Pfizer, which is contained in the confidential documents the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been forced to publish by court order, also shows that a high concentration of the Covid-19 injection accumulates in the ovaries for a minimum of 48 hours.
It’s not known whether it continues to accumulate after 48 hours due to observations being halted at this point.
In the first 15 minutes following injection of the Pfizer jab, researchers found that the total lipid concentration in the ovaries measured 0.104ml. This then increased to 1.34ml after 1 hour, 2.34ml after 4 hours, and then 12.3ml after 48 hours.
This may also explain why further Public Health Scotland data contained in their Covid-19 Wider Impacts dashboard shows the rate of ovarian cancer across Scotland has been significantly higher than the expected average since March 2021.
It is of course impossible to definitively conclude that the Covid-19 injections are responsible for a rise in neonatal deaths in Scotland.
But with –
- studies showing that the Covid-19 vaccine accumulates in the ovaries over time,
- real-world data showing the rate of miscarriage is as high as 82% following vaccination,
- and evidence proving Medicine Regulators and Pfizer hid the dangers of Covid-19 vaccination during pregnancy because the only study conducted found it increases the risk of birth defects & infertility,
It’s quite clear that the Covid-19 injections interfere with the reproductive system and further studies and investigations should be carried out with immediate effect.

International Energy Agency demands Worldwide Lockdowns to meet Climate Goals
The International Energy Agency has demanded Governments worldwide essentially ‘lockdown’ the public to cut down the use of oil and meet “climate change” targets.
To be blunt, the ordinary, hardworking man and woman is being brainwashed to believe that the planet is heading for disaster, it is their fault, and they must change their behaviour in order to save the world. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Humanity could most certainly be kinder to nature and the other living things that inhabit Earth, but the argument that the world will essentially end as we know it if we don’t get to carbon zero by the year 2050 or earlier is propaganda. It is a tool being used by the elites to shape the future through fear, just as they have done with the alleged Covid-19 crisis, and as they are now doing with the war in Ukraine.
One example of this lie is that ordinary men and women are the reason plastic is polluting our seas.
As you’ll have now encountered if you’ve visited a Mcdonalds, you are now forced to use one of the worst inventions ever to grace our planet – the paper straw.
But plastic straws aren’t the problem. The real problem is lost and abandoned fishing gear, which is deadly to marine life and makes up the majority of plastic pollution in the oceans (source). The next source of contamination is huge loads of plastic waste being dumped at sea by ships.
So the real problem here is corporations, not the ordinary man and woman. It’s not us who needs to change, it’s big business that needs to change.
But the vultures have smelt their next opportunity to get rich quick. But to do so they need you to believe there is a problem, and they need you to pay for it. This is where the International Energy Agency comes in.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) was founded in 1974 following the 1973 oil crisis. The IEA was initially dedicated to responding to physical disruptions in the supply of oil.
In the decades since, its role has expanded to cover the entire global energy system, encompassing traditional energy sources such as oil, gas, and coal as well as cleaner and faster growing ones such as solar photovoltaics, wind power and biofuels.
As Government policy set off a global health and economic crisis in early 2020 in response to the alleged Covid-19 pandemic, the IEA called on governments to ensure that their economic recovery plans focus on clean energy investments in order to create the conditions for a sustainable recovery and long-term structural decline in carbon emissions.
Today the IEA acts as a policy adviser to its member states which include the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, as well as major emerging economies.
The IEA’s current Executive Director is Fatih Birol, who took office in late 2015 and began his second term four years later.
Here he is chatting to the founder of Microsoft, major investor in Big Pharma, and founder of ‘Breakthrough Energy’, Mr Bill Gates at the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit in May 2021 –
Yes, Bill Gates is involved yet again. Isn’t he always?
In March 2022, the IEA published a report titled ‘A 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use’.
Here’s how the organisation described the report –
“In the face of the emerging global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the IEA’s 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use proposes 10 actions that can be taken to reduce oil demand with immediate impact – and provides recommendations for how those actions can help pave the way to putting oil demand onto a more sustainable path in the longer term.”
And here’s an infographic of their proposed 10-point plan –
Reducing highway speed limits by about 6 miles per hour; more working from home; street changes to encourage walking and cycling; car-free Sundays in cities and restrictions on other days; cutting transit fares; policies that encourage more carpooling; cutting business air travel.
Sounds an awful lot like a “climate” version of Covid-19 lockdowns, doesn’t it?
The IEA even propose the following –
“Restricting private cars’ use of roads in large cities to those with even number-plates some weekdays and to those with odd-numbered plates on other weekdays”
The real question of course is whether Governments will adopt the measures. But they claim to have been “following the science” (at least the funded by Big Pharma version of Science) for the past two years, so why stop now?
In the UK, the Government has written into law that the ‘zero emissions’ target must be met by 2050, and a report published by Oxford University and Imperial College London states that in order to meet those targets the following actions must be taken –
- All airports must close between 2020 and 2029 excluding Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast airports, which can only stay open on the condition that transfers to and from the airport are done via rail.
- All remaining airports must then close between 2030 and 2049 as to meet the legal commitment of zero emissions by 2050 every citizen of the United Kingdom must “stop using aeroplanes” for a significant period of time.
- The public will be required to stop doing anything that causes emissions regardless of its energy source. According to the report this will require the public to never eat beef or lamb ever again.
- To do this national consumption of beef and lamb will drop by 50% between 2020 and 2029. Then between 2030 and 2049 beef and lamb will be “phased out”.
- Construction of new buildings must also cease by 2050.
The report was released in November 2019 and was authored by ‘UK Fires’, a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bath and Imperial College London – the home of Professor Neil Ferguson.
Entitled ‘Absolute Zero’, the report is a research collaboration in which the authors reveal what the UK must do to meet its legal requirement to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and it makes for harrowing reading.
Is it just a coincidence that four months after the release of the report, the UK Government brought in the Coronavirus Act and implemented a national lockdown which decimated the travel industry? A quick read-through of the report certainly suggests the real reason for lockdowns may have been so that the Government can meet its legal commitment to reduce emissions.
Do you not find it odd how Draconian Covid-19 policies also allegedly helped the climate and now the same solutions are being touted to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and meet absurd climate targets?
These proposed ‘solutions’ to climate change, Covid-19, and now the Russian war are all exactly the same – hammer the poor and middle class with more restrictions on travel, less freedom, and even more surrendering of power to unelected government regulators.
This isn’t about your health or the health of the planet, it’s about wealth and ultimately control.
