Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime. — Chapter 19

Below is the 19th and final chapter in the serialization of Paul Weston’s book Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime. Previously: Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.

Covid-19: All Lies. All Crime.

by Paul Weston

Chapter 19: Afterword

The sole purpose of this small book was to show, in as few words as possible, that there was no lethal Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, and that the vaccines were completely unnecessary, horrifically dangerous and, astonishingly / criminally ineffective in every possible way a vaccine is supposed to be effective.

There is so much more to say about this crime of the century, but to do so would require much more than one book. The roles played by Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci, for example, could fill an entire bookshelf.

The details laid out in this book are not just my opinion; they are taken from data sites owned by governments and health regulation agencies. They are true. And if they are true, then everything we were told (and continue to be told) about Covid-19 is a lie.

Tragically — and criminally — the people lying to us are those whose specific job it is to look after our best interests. The politicians, the doctors, the health regulatory agencies, the mainstream media, the Fact Check agencies, the World Health Organisation, the EU, the UN, and the social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube.

All of these people and organisations amassed money and power during the Covid-19 purported pandemic. This money and power resulted purely from lying to and betraying the citizens of nations worldwide.

In America, the Food & Drug Agency (FDA) only released Pfizer’s data on vaccine harms because it was forced to do so by a court order. Also in America, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that pregnant women and babies receive mRNA booster shots, whilst simultaneously fighting court cases to prevent the release of data they hold which catalogues massive numbers of vaccine harms.

The same thing is happening in every single Western country, where every single health regulation agency is doing the exact same thing. The levels of corruption are vast. As are the wicked and murderous crimes they are engaged in. The CDC’s motto, incidentally, is: Saving Lives. Protecting People.

Islamic Influence In the U.S. Government — Kamala Harris Would Pick Up Where Joe Biden Left Off

The following report by Clare Lopez was published earlier this month by Sharia TipSheet.

Islamic Influence In the U.S. Government — Kamala Harris Would Pick Up Where Joe Biden Left Off

by Clare M. Lopez

We’ll cover a few categories here this month: the Biden-Harris continuing appeasement of the Islamic regime in Iran, questionable USG decisions on national security matters, and also some questionable appointments and associations of the Harris-Walz campaign team.

This first set of reports highlights the lack of national security rigor at the top levels of the Biden-Harris administration. The pattern seems to favor passes for U.S. adversaries including Iran, Turkey, and the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood network.

“Biden regime names Mohamed Elsanousi of Hamas-linked ISNA to US Commission on International Religious Freedom” by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, August 12, 2024

  • We’ll recall, of course, that the Biden administration appointed former ISNA president and longtime imam at the Muslim Brotherhood’s ADAMS Center, Imam Mohamed Magid, to the same Commission in August 2022. And unfortunately, it was during the Trump administration in July 2017 that Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas was named Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom. His connections to prominent Muslim Brotherhood figures are well-documented.

Now, we include a few items here about some questionable associations and appointments by currently-serving Vice President Kamala Harris and her presidential campaign’s VP running mate, MN Governor Tim Walz.

“Kamala Harris’s Philip Gordon: Inconspicuous and influential” by Shahram Kholdi at Iran International, 08/09/2024

No, Starmer, the Solingen Stabbings Were Not “Senseless”

To say that an act of jihad terrorism is “senseless” is to obfuscate the issue of motive. It deflects attention away from what the jihad actually means.

Michael Copeland sends this timely reminder.

No, Starmer, the Solingen stabbings were not “senseless”

by Michael Copeland

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the Solingen stabbings as “senseless” while the media said the victims were “random”.

They were neither: The killer is Muslim, the victims non-Muslim. That is the salient distinction.

The attack was subsequently claimed by the Islamic State, who had, years ago, put out a call for Muslims to kill non-Muslims —”Kafirs”— howsoever they can, by stabbing, hitting with a rock, running over with a car and so on. The Solingen stabbings were Jihad.

“Jihad”, explains the manual of Islamic Law ‘Reliance of the traveller’, “means to war against non-Muslims”, and is a “communal obligation” [o9.0 and o9.1].

The pattern is well-established. It is self-evident with all the high profile attacks, 9/11, London Underground, Beslan, Madrid trains, the Bataclan, Manchester Arena, and any number of lesser stabbings, van rammings and so on. It is not difficult to spot. The killer was, as Lt. Col. Allen West puts it, “doing exactly what this book says.” The Koran instructs “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” [9:5], and “fight the unbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you” [9:123].

The Koran is not arranged chronologically. Chapter 9 is the latest revelation, and as such overrides and “abrogates” all peaceful verses elsewhere.

All of its text forms part of Islamic law. Denying any verse brings the death penalty, which can be exacted vigilante-style by anyone. There is no legal repercussion “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” [manual o8.7(7)].

As for motive, some insight may be gained from the Reading Park killer, an observant Muslim who targeted men who were not only Kafirs, but in same-sex relationships, forbidden by Islam. “I’m going to Paradise for the Jihad what I did to them,” he said. Where did he learn that teaching? From the mosque, of course.

The Invalid Corps

During the Civil War the Union army established the Invalid Corps — more properly known as the Veteran Reserve Corps — so that soldiers who were partially disabled could serve the cause in a non-combat support capacity. Needless to say, young men who were disinclined to take part at the front did their best to get a medical exemption so that they could serve with the Invalids.

When I was searching for a photo for the top of this post, I discovered that many of the websites that discuss the Invalids have succumbed to the disease of Presentism and slathered the topic with suffocating layers of political correctness. An ideological template has been placed over many of the descriptions, assigning the “differently-abled” soldiers of the Invalid Corps the status of victims so that they can take their rightful place in the hierarchy mandated by identity politics. And whatever you do, don’t call them cripples!

I hardly need to tell you that Americans in the 1860s had no truck with such bizarre notions. They could laugh at the cripples from time to time without any self-consciousness or sense of guilt.

When I was a kid, my favorite Civil War song was “The Invalid Corps”. I went hunting for YouTube versions of it, and found quite a few of them. It was a Northern tune, but the unreconstructed Confederate sympathizers of the 2nd South Carolina String Band don’t seem to have any objection to performing it. Here’s their spirited rendition of “The Invalid Corps”:

I happened upon an interesting story about a combat engagement in which the Invalids actually had to participate, the skirmish at White House Landing in 1864, between the Confederate Cavalry under Wade Hampton and the Union Veteran Reserve Corps under Col. Charles Johnson. The landing at Belle Plain was where the Union supplies for the Peninsula Campaign came in. It’s on the Pamunkey River above West Point, Virginia (where the Pamunkey and the Mattaponi combine to form the York River); I know the area slightly from my time at William and Mary.

There’s more extensive information about White House Landing here.

The full lyrics to the song are below the jump.

We Have to Destroy the Constitution in Order to Save It

In Thuringia, the bureaucratic structure charged with protecting the state Constitution is operating without the legislative supervision required by… yup, the Constitution.

That’s some catch, that Catch-22.

And I hardly need to tell you that it’s all in order to keep the AfD from participating in protecting the Constitution. We may have trampled on the civil rights of Thuringians, but at least we kept those AfD Nazis out!

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the online news portal Nius:

Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution will in future work without parliamentary control

The Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution [TfV] headed by Stephan Kramer, now has no parliamentary control. All previous members of the control body have left the state parliament, and a new election is not possible due to the political situation. This means that the state’s constitution is being violated. Junge Freiheit was the first to report on this.

The Parliamentary Control Committee, which was supposed to monitor the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, is now unable to act because all previous members were not re-elected to the state parliament. A new election of members would require a two-thirds majority in parliament. This majority could only be achieved through cooperation between the CDU, the Linke Party, the SPD and the BSW with the AfD, which holds 36.4% of the seats in the state parliament. However, such cooperation is categorically rejected by the other parties.

Danger of uncontrolled surveillance

According to the Thuringian constitution, parliament is obliged to monitor the TfV to prevent it from becoming a kind of secret police that introduces illegal surveillance practices. Normally, five MPs are supposed to oversee the activities of the TfV, but recently there were only four, as the AfD was excluded from the body by the other parties. Previous members of the control committee included Dorothea Marx (SPD), Raymond Walk and Jörg Kellner (both CDU) and Dirk Bergner (FDP). None of them were re-elected to the state parliament.

The nationwide pressure to keep the AfD away from the control of the TfV is considerable. Thomas Haldenwang (CDU), President of the TfV, warned that Thuringia could be excluded from the TfV if the AfD were to be included in the control body.

This could make Thuringia the first federal state in which the TfV operates without any parliamentary control. Stephan Kramer, who is considered a particularly determined opponent of right-wing movements, has classified the AfD as “combative and aggressive” and “proven right-wing extremist”. Interestingly, Kramer is the only head of the TfV who does not meet the formal requirements, as he is not qualified to hold the office of judge. Nevertheless, he was appointed to this office by the red-red-green state government.

Return to Poltava

In the 17th and early 18th centuries Sweden was a great power in Europe, with a formidable army. It’s hard to credit now, but back then the Swedish king was an aggressive military campaigner and had hegemonic ambitions. He fought the Great Northern War against Russia and its allies at the beginning of the 18th century, but his early successes ended with a devastating defeat at the Battle of Poltava, in what is now Ukraine, in the summer of 1709. Sweden’s failure in the Great Northern War broke its control of the Baltic region, and effectively ended the Swedish Empire.

Last Tuesday Sweden suffered a new defeat at Poltava when some of its military advisors were reportedly killed by a Russian missile strike on a military training center. Accounts of what happened at Poltava are hedged about with propaganda from both sides, as is true of everything in the Russo-Ukrainian War, so that determining an accurate casualty count is very difficult. The official Ukrainian report of the number of dead has now risen to 58, with well over 250 wounded, so there’s no doubt it was a devastating setback for Ukraine. Estimates from other sources give much higher totals, and say a large number of foreign “mercenaries” (which I gloss as incognito NATO troops) were among the dead. The casualties include an undetermined number of Swedish military personnel, who were at the site to train the Ukrainians in the use of two AWACS aircraft that had been delivered by Sweden.

That’s the bare bones of what occurred in Poltava last Tuesday. As I mentioned, the incident is clouded by massive amounts of propaganda and disinformation put out by both sides, making it hard to determine what actually happened.

If you want to begin separating the wheat from the chaff, Simplicius the Thinker is the one to read. He’s very much pro-Russia, but he’s a fair reporter. He tells you when something is rumor, and when it’s well-sourced. Rather than relying on official Russian sources alone, he sifts information from various milblogs and social media. And despite his support for Russia, he doesn’t hesitate to criticize it when he thinks such criticism is warranted.

He’s one of the few writers covering the war in Ukraine whose predictions have a very good track record. Predictions made by partisans on both sides have generally been wildly off, but Simplicius’ matter-of-fact outlines of what he expects to happen usually turn out to be quite accurate. That’s one of the main reasons I read his stuff regularly.

I mentioned the official Ukrainian casualty figures above — 50+ dead, 250+ wounded — but other Ukrainian sources, milblogs and so on, give much higher numbers, with a lot of NATO “advisors” among the casualties.

Now we come to some of the dezinformatsiya surrounding the missile strike in Poltava.

Two posts on X give a lurid account of the massive numbers of Ukrainian and NATO troops killed and wounded. I’m not going to quote from them, because I don’t want to extend the reach of what I consider disinformation.

I searched the Internet using specific phrases from the posts, and could find only the same X account, and other posts quoting from it. Nothing else.

Both posts credit “24 News” as their source. There are two news sites called “24 news”, one in India, in the Malayalam language, and the other in Pakistan, in English. I couldn’t find any stories remotely like these on either of those sites.

So I think we’re being Twitter-played, yet again.

The Poltava strike was probably much worse than is being reported in the media. However, it looks like someone, maybe the CIA, is running a QAnon-type operation on us, laying out flypaper for right-wingers by making the situation look sensationally worse than it is, so that when the information is eventually revealed as being bogus, it will discredit any reports that paint a more horrific picture than what the MSM is telling us. Then anything other than the official line can be dismissed as right-wing “conspiracy theories”.

Once again, in order to separate what seems reasonably credible from the obvious fakes, I recommend a careful reading of Simplicius’ material. I’ve collected some extensive excerpts below from two of his recent posts. When his block quotes are not explicitly sourced, I assume they come from X, but I’m not certain of that. See the original posts for the image inserts and videos.

The first is from last Thursday:

Those Busy, Busy Knives


Knife attacks in Germany, first week of September 2024

Those knives are up to their old tricks in Germany.

To make the graphic at the top of this post, I screen-capped the map displayed at the website Messerinzidenz: Live-Tracker für Verbrechen mit Messern (Knife Incidence: Live-tracker for knife crime) after setting the dates for 9/1/2024 to 9/7/2024.

A Green Party politician wants Germans to pay no attention to all those pesky knives. After all, there are so few knife attacks! The country needs to get on with more important work. Why are all the right-wing extremists getting so het up about this?

“The few knife attackers”: Green Party spokeswoman dangerously downplays migrant violence

The Federal Republic is suffering from an epidemic of violent crime, particularly knife crimes. While left-wing politicians are taking refuge in a debate about the proportionality of dealing with imported crime, German citizens are having to pay the price for a misguided migration policy and an inadequate security policy.

“Is it a solution for a family in a Thuringian village who doesn’t know how they can pay for daycare places for their children, whose daughter wants to go to university and who gets far too little student loans — is it a solution for them if we all bash the few knife attackers who, unfortunately, are still in this country?” asks Inge Schwenger, co-spokesperson for the Havelland district association of the Brandenburg Greens, according to a tweet by NZZ journalist Dr. Alexander Kissler.

“The Brandenburg Greens do not want to criticise knife attackers too much,” concludes Kissler.

“The few knife attackers”

The data project Messerinzidenz.de is currently receiving a lot of attention on social media. Andreas Ziegler has been running the platform since July and is recording Germany’s knife attacks — every single day.

The knife incidents are recorded daily on a map and in a list. There is a corresponding source reference for each individual case.

According to the database, 109 knife crimes have been recorded since the beginning of September — that equates to 16 knife crimes per day.

It’s All Elon Musk’s Fault

After all the culture-enriching knife carnage in Solingen last month, followed by this month’s antique rifle jihad in Munich, the German Green Party wants to solve the problem of “radicalization” by shutting down Twitter.

There’s no denying that the Internet helps accelerate the transformation of ordinary observant Muslims into raging mujahideen. But the mosques are also well-known as hotbeds of “radicalization” — so why not shut down the mosques? No, of course we can’t do that. It would be racist and Islamophobic. Better to keep everyone off X and Telegram instead.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit:

Fight against extremism

Green MP Hofreiter threatens to block X

After the bloodbath in Solingen and the attack in Munich, Green Party MP Anton Hofreiter is now calling for censorship measures. A possible option would be a ban on the platform X. He hopes that this will reduce radicalization on the Internet.

Berlin

In the wake of the attack in Solingen and the shooting in Munich, the Green Party’s member of the Bundestag, Anton Hofreiter, has called for greater efforts in the fight against extremism. “One of the biggest problems of extremism is online radicalization,” he told the newspapers of the Funke Media Group. This would also include blocking the short message service X.

“We must stop the spread of anti-human and anti-constitutional content on the Internet,” demanded the chairman of the European Affairs Committee in the Bundestag. Violations of the law must be punished consistently. With regard to social networks, this would mean that they would be “blocked if necessary,” said the Green politician. This also includes X, owned by the US entrepreneur Elon Musk.

Hofreiter calls for “virtual agents”

The state, which must act with the utmost severity, must not close itself off to new technologies. Specifically, Hofreiter suggested “virtual agents” that could, for example, scan groups on Telegram to identify possible criminals.

Both platforms, X and Telegram, are accused of not doing enough to combat “hate speech.” Telegram is also accused of failing to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in the fight against drug trafficking, fraud, and child abuse.

Meanwhile, a dispute is raging between X and the EU Commission over the spread of “hate messages and false information.” Brussels plans to impose heavy fines on Musk if he does not moderate content more closely. The American describes himself as an advocate of absolute freedom of expression.

An Albanian Has an Allahu Akhbar Moment in Linz am Rhein

A rambunctious Albanian culture-enricher in the German city of Linz am Rhein became a little overheated in his zeal for his religion, and tried to enter a police station with a machete, hoping to slaughter some infidel policemen. Fortunately, the officers at the station were able to hold him between two doors, where he remained trapped until more highly skilled police could be summoned from an adjacent municipality.

Below are two articles about this bracing instance of diversity in Germany. Many thanks to Hellequin GB for the translations.

The first article is from the online news portal Nius. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Albanian machete attacker at police station was an Islamist!

On Friday night (2:40am), an Albanian stormed into the police station in Linz am Rhein (Rhineland-Palatinate) with a machete in his hand. The man threatened to cause a bloodbath among the police officers. At midday it was announced that the attack on the police was Islamist terror!

“He threatened to kill the colleagues at the police station,” police spokesman Jürgen Fachinger told the Bild newspaper. The police were able to lock the man between the outside door and the secured door that leads to the officers and thus protect themselves from the attack.

The officers tried to explain to the man over the intercom that he was trapped. A special operations unit (SEK) from Koblenz finally overpowered the machete attacker.

The terrorist (29) repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akhbar”. His aim was to cause a bloodbath. Koblenz Attorney General Harald Kruse is convinced of this and is now investigating “attempted murder by attacking the police station with a machete”, according to the newspaper.

Investigators found ISIS terror flag

The Attorney General continues: “Initial investigations have revealed indications of a radical Islamist motivation on the part of the accused, which is why the investigation has been taken over by the State Central Office for Combating Terrorism and Extremism in Rhineland-Palatinate at the Attorney General’s Office in Koblenz.”

“During the ongoing search of the apartment, a flag of the terrorist organization abroad, ‘Islamic State’, was found drawn on a wall,” Kruse continued.

Interior Minister Ebling: “There is more than one clue”

The Rhineland-Palatinate Interior Minister Michael Ebling (SPD) gave a press statement at noon. Ebling stressed: “There is more than one indication that the perpetrator was obviously motivated by radical Islamism.” This will “of course still need to be investigated further.” [What more evidence do you need? The guy has the ISIS Flag drawn onto his wall and shouted Allahu Akhbar and wielded a machete with which he wanted to fulfill the command of Allah and Mohammed. He definitely wasn’t a “radical” Christian or Buddhist.]

The minister continued: “Especially since it is of course always of interest how and who comes to such motivational states and by what means.” [Maybe you should start visiting the local mosque and read the Quran to boot. The penny should then drop.]

According to the Interior Minister, the authorities had no knowledge of the perpetrator’s background prior to the Islamist attack on the Linz police station. The authorities had therefore not previously known the terrorist as someone with Islamist motivations, explained the SPD Interior Minister in Ahrbrück.

Afterword from the translator:

The question that now occurs to me is: if a police station manned by 5-10 armed officers does not dare to neutralize an aggressive Albanian Muslim (probably not a Hindu or Buddhist), how is the good citizen supposed to protect himself? If even the civil servant has to call for armed help? One doesn’t want to imagine what would have happened if he had stormed a retirement home or kindergarten. But I guess that this is only a matter of time before they start doing that. They are upping their game of terror, that’s for sure.

The second article is from Junge Freiheit:
