Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

Our friend Covid-19 is four years old today — hard to believe, isn’t it?

Not everybody celebrates the anniversary on the same date. Some people identify the 16th as the day the “pandemic” began, when a lot of the lockdowns kicked in and the school closings started. But I prefer the Ides of March. It was a Sunday in 2020, when church was cancelled for the first time.

Happy Birthday, Wuhan Coronavirus!

Our Dystopian Moment

The two videos below are unrelated; I just happened to encounter them both today. They seem somehow emblematic of the apocalyptic times that we Americans are forced to live through.

The first clip shows remarks made by Peter Navarro at CPAC. Mr. Navarro is an economist who served as a presidential advisor during the Trump administration. After the “election” of 2020 he, like so many other Trump associates, became a target of the January 6 Inquisition when the Democrats were in control of the House. He refused to comply with a congressional subpoena to provide documents and testimony, and was charged with two counts of contempt of Congress. After being convicted on both counts, he was sentenced to four months in prison. He is appealing the verdict, but the judge ruled that he must serve his sentence in the meantime.

I don’t have any opinion on Peter Navarro, nor any idea on the merits of the legal cases against him. However, I know that the treatment of him is shameless political persecution. The mickey-mouse stuff he was accused of doing would have merited no notice if he had been a Democrat, or served under an elected pol with a “D” after his name. He is being persecuted because he had the temerity to hitch his star to the evil Orange Man.

He made the following remarks just prior to beginning his prison sentence:

The second video is an excerpt from Tucker Carlson’s interview with the inventor and entrepreneur Steve Kirsch. Mr. Kirsch has great expertise in statistical methods, and since early 2021 he has been investigating the statistics on the adverse effects of the experimental mRNA treatment intended to mitigate infection with the Wuhan Coronavirus. He has done great service to his country by digging up and exposing to public view the ghastly figures on the adverse effects, especially deaths, caused by the vax. The CDC and the other panjandrums of the political-corporate power structure are doing their utmost to marginalize and shun him so that the general public will never become aware of the harm the government has done by coercing them to get jabbed.

I watched the full interview, which is almost an hour long, but it has since been taken down, presumably because TCN is zealously protecting its copyright. The video below shows only the first eleven minutes, but it will at least give you a taste of what Steve Kirsch had to say:

Austria Welcomes Home Another ISIS Fighter

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the Austrian daily Kronen Zeitung:

Terror trial in Vienna

27-year-old denies Syria stay before court

February 19, 2024

A young ISIS sympathizer reportedly traveled to Syria in 2014, at the age of 18, and there joined the terror organization as a fighter. This is supported by a revealed data sheet. But for a conviction, the document is not sufficient.

An unusual crowd of prison guards line Courtroom 11 in the Vienna Regional Court. This is noticed even by the judge. “Are you that dangerous? Obviously, yes when I look at what has been mustered here,” she says at the beginning of the trial to the 27-year-old defendant — who is brought in with foot shackles and handcuffs attached to a waist belt.

Prison guard attacked with butter knife

Justifiably, since the young man has a considerable criminal record. “You have been rather continuously in custody for 14 years,” the presiding judge summarizes. Most recently, he had to appear before a jury in Krems for the attempted murder of an officer in the Stein Prison. With the cry, “Allahu Akhbar” he went after the guard with a sharpened butter knife, aiming for his neck. In July of 2022, he was finally sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for deliberate, serious bodily injury.

“But he had previously sworn to ISIS to support them from Austria” — State prosecutor (referring to) the defendant (27)

Did he travel to Syria as an ISIS fighter?

The accusation, now being adjudicated in Vienna, allegedly occurred before the prison sentence against the Chechen. In the summer of 2014, the defendant allegedly traveled to Syria and joined ISIS there. This is supported by a datasheet of the terror organization, in which a similar name with the same date of birth appears. There, he affixed a cross with the function, “fighter”.

At the appeal of the parents, the 27-year-old reportedly returned to Austria after two weeks. ISIS propaganda and torture videos were also found on the defendant. “He had also previously promised ISIS he would support them from Austria,” according to the State prosecutor.

The Bum’s Rush

The video below is a blast from the past. I don’t remember when it was first uploaded, but it was well over a decade ago. It was a Vlad/KGS collaboration, and was posted on one of Vlad’s many YouTube channels, all of which have long since been taken down.

Vlad found the old video file and uploaded it to Rumble. It’s great to see it again, because it’s a real classic:

Robert Fico: Our Governments Bowed to the Pharmaceutical Companies

The following video features remarks made by Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico to his country’s parliament. As far as I know, this represents the first time any head of a Western government has called out the corrupt predatory practices of governments in symbiosis with the pharmaceutical industry during the COVID-19 “pandemic”. He even highlights the corrupt relationship between Pfizer and Ursula von der Leyen, the current president of the European Commission. For his sake, I hope he has a food taster on his staff.

The subtitles were timed using the official English translation of Mr. Fico’s remarks. Many thanks to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling:

Do the COVID-19 Vaccines Demonstrate the Collapse of Science?

Do the COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate the collapse of science?

by Fjordman

John Campbell from England has been making popular videos on YouTube for several years.[1] He has gone from being a supporter of the officially promoted vaccines against the coronavirus COVID-19 to becoming a growing critic of them. He has done this by analyzing official statistics and known figures. The facts show that these vaccines are less effective against COVID-19 than originally claimed. They are also significantly more dangerous than people who took these vaccines were told by the authorities.

Substantial excess mortality rates that have yet to receive a convincing official explanation can be documented over an extended period. This began in part in 2021. The excess deaths have continued in many countries in 2022 and 2023, and unfortunately seem to continue in the UK [2] and elsewhere in 2024.

Campbell has had some very interesting conversations with Angus G. Dalgleish. He is a British professor of oncology, the study of cancer, at St. George’s Hospital Medical School in London. Dalgleish has been very active in the medical field for decades. He is the editor and co-author of the book The Death of Science: The Retreat from Reason in the Post-Modern World.[3]

Stating that science is dead, as the title suggests, may sound dramatic. Yet professor Dalgleish fears that this claim is not an exaggeration. He is highly critical of the way authorities have handled COVID-19 and the vaccines against this virus since the year 2020. Far too much of what is now being presented as scientific research is flawed, logically questionable or marred by corruption.

Angus G. Dalgleish focuses on medical issues, which are his area of expertise. However, he also questions the claim that we are indeed experiencing a man-made “climate crisis.” He argues that scientific data does not support the most alarmist claims about climate change. There is also a lot of money involved in these fields, both in the pharmaceutical industry and in the climate industry.

In 2020, the major US pharmaceutical company Pfizer partnered with Germany’s BioNTech to rapidly develop a vaccine against the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine was introduced at the end of 2020.

The American pharmaceutical and biotechnology company Moderna also rushed to develop an mRNA-based vaccine at the same time, with support and encouragement from the US government.

Before Pfizer and Moderna launched their vaccines, with unusually quick approval from Western governments, mRNA-based technology had never been used on humans on a large scale. It differs significantly from traditional vaccine technology. Some critics claim that these mRNA-based injections should be referred to as experimental genetic technology, rather than as vaccines in a traditional sense of the word.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla himself stated in October 2020 that the company was “moving at the speed of science.”[4] Bourla later remarked that “It took us just 248 days to get from the day we announced our plans to collaborate with BioNTech on a potential Covid-19 vaccine to the day we submitted to the FDA for Emergency Use Authorization. We were able to move at extraordinary speed, while always maintaining our focus on safety, because this new structure allows us to be decisive.”[5]

On the social network Facebook, Pfizer also posted a video about their so-called vaccines in November 2020 entitled Moving at the Speed of Science.[6]

However, how fast is “the speed of science”? Is it 100 kilometers per hour? 1 centimeter per hour? One centimeter per year?

Those High-Maintenance Migrants

It’s widely accepted that “migrants” are a net financial drain on any Western nation that decides to import them en masse. The following article reports on the research conducted by a German economist in an effort to quantify the amount of money lost due to all the cultural enrichment.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Junge Freiheit. The translator’s comments are in square brackets.

Note: the translator has also appended some interesting and useful material at the end of this translation:

Raffelhüschen: Immigration costs €5.8 trillion

The pension and social expert Raffelhüschen calculates the overall economic price of immigration. He dispels a myth, and describes migration policy as “dumb as straw”.

Berlin

The economist Bernd Raffelhüschen has presented a calculation of how expensive immigration is for the German population. Accordingly, mass migration creates an overall economic hole of €5,800,000,000,000 — in short, €5.8 trillion. [I’d love to know how much of that money has ended — and is still ending up — in the offshore accounts of the political “migration” mafia?]

The Freiburg professor dispelled the myth, promoted by all established parties, that immigration saves pension and social security funds. According to Raffelhüschen, there is already a large gap in the aging German society between what employers and employees pay in taxes, nursing care, pension and health insurance contributions and what they will be paid out in the future, says Raffelhüschen.

According to the expert, this “sustainability gap” will grow to €19.2 trillion if Germany continues to accept 300,000 foreigners annually. On the other hand, if we no longer allowed migrants into the country, the number would only be €13.4 trillion. Immigration increases the hole by €5.8 trillion. Raffelhüschen: “That is the price of immigration in our current system.”

Raffelhüschen: Foreigners pay little

On average, migrants would need six years to integrate into the German labor market. During this time they have scarcely paid anything into the social system. But even after that, according to his study, which he prepared for the Market Economy Foundation, things will hardly get any better. Because they earned significantly less than their German colleagues due to a lack of qualifications. As a result, they also paid fewer taxes and duties. However, they received the same sickness, nursing and pension benefits.

Raffelhüschen explained: “Although the age structure of migrants potentially has a demographic rejuvenation dividend, this does not lead to a positive fiscal balance of migration in any of the scenarios considered.”

To illustrate his results, Raffelhüschen chose an example: “An asylum seeker comes to Germany at the age of 26, is rejected after two to three years, but remains here with tolerance. Then he gradually begins his first jobs, gets qualified and, at the age of 35, begins a career as a tax and contribution payer. Because his pension entitlement is low, he receives basic security as a pensioner — for which his contributions would never have been enough.”

Even skilled immigration brings a loss

The 66-year-old scientist, who once advised the federal government in the so-called “Rürup Commission,” said: “It doesn’t pay off. This is all far too expensive.” This year alone, the federal government is making almost €50 billion available in its budget for migration — not including the costs to the social system.

Raffelhüschen has calculated that even with an additional immigration of 100,000 trained skilled workers per year, Germany would still show a loss. The “sustainability gap” would then still be €14.2 trillion — and therefore €800 billion above the financing burden without any immigration.

Raffelhüschen found clear words for the migration policy pursued so far by both the Merkel and now Scholz governments: “If we carry on as before, we are dumb as straw!”

The Iceman Cometh

The National Weather Service forecast for Saturday here at Schloss Bodissey includes a “winter weather advisory”: we are to expect “mixed precipitation”, with “snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of one-tenth to two-tenths of an inch.”

Furthermore, “Precipitation is expected to begin as a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain between 4 and 7 AM, then change to mostly freezing rain between 7 AM and 10 AM. Precipitation may mix with or change to rain by late afternoon, before ending during the early evening.”

It doesn’t sound serious enough to cause a power outage, but you never can tell. So if Saturday evening comes along and this is still the top post, and comments aren’t being approved, you’ll know why. Just assume that I am sitting here drinking wine (an Alvarez de Toledo Mencia, probably) by candlelight, keeping the temperature in the house above freezing by using the propane range in the kitchen…


Dymphna’s stove

Update 1:00pm EST: There was a little freezing rain, nothing significant, before I got up this morning. Since then it’s pretty much just been rain. It’s raining hard now, but not much ice on the trees. So it looks like the electricity may stay on, at least for the time being.

It’s the Religion, Stupid

Thought experiment shows: Climate narrative has long since become an ideology

Let’s assume for a moment that science finds out that temperatures on earth are falling, that CO2 is not the main driver of the climate, or that climate change has a positive impact on crop yields and prosperity will impact worldwide. In other words, the climate panic would be canceled for one of the reasons listed.

What would sound like good news would have massive consequences for the course chosen. The agreements between states to reduce emissions would be invalid, and the restructuring of industry and energy supply that has taken place so far would be meaningless in the new context. Capital flows amounting to thousands of billions of dollars would suddenly be called into question. Party programs would have to be rewritten.

In the thought experiment we can now test how realistic it is to assume that these new scientific findings would actually become widespread. Would the truth be stronger than all party-political, industrial and ideological interests? No, of course not. This assumption would be naïve. No one in power would simply agree to change the climate narrative and put their own interests aside. There is far too much at stake for that.

If this is not the case today, what year was the “point of no return”? When did the climate course become set in stone? The course was set at the latest with the Paris climate agreement in 2015. Presumably already with the establishment of the IPCC in 1988, which had the task of proving man-made climate change.

When viewed from a meta-level, the matter is clear: the climate narrative is an ideology. Science is no longer open-ended. Since probably 1988, at least since 2015. Everything else is wishful thinking. The harsh treatment of critics, the censorship we experience, the massive propaganda in the media underline this result of the thought experiment.

These Infidel Doctors Try My Patience!

The following video shows the reactions of several young “Germans” to what they perceived as inadequate health care. They evidently felt that the treatment of the patient was neither prompt nor adequate, so they punched out a doctor and a nurse.

The staff probably also failed to give the patient the halal lollipop they had promised him.

There’s no indication of ethnicity in the media reports on this incident; watch the video and see what you think. And I wonder what odds the local bookies would give against the presence of cultural enrichment…

They had to wait too long: three bearded men beat up hospital staff

Brutal attack at hospital on New Year’s Eve!

As a video from a surveillance camera shows, three young men rioted in a Berlin emergency room on New Year’s Eve and brutally attacked a doctor and a nurse. The three drunken men hit the clinic staff in the head and threatened the employees of the clinic in the Lichtenberg district.


Thanks to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for uploading this video

As the police announced, the three men, aged 25, 20 and 16, became aggressive after, in their opinion, the 25-year-old was not treated quickly enough or adequately. The 42-year-old doctor suffered a head injury from a punch and had to be treated on an outpatient basis. The 32-year-old nurse also suffered minor head injuries. The author Paul Brandenburg first reported on the case on X (formerly Twitter) and the Berliner Zeitung.

The police took all three of the clinic attackers into preventive custody. The police did not provide any information about the nationality of the bearded, dark-haired men. During the search, the emergency services found narcotics.

On New Year’s Eve there were numerous targeted attacks on police officers and rescue workers in Berlin, who were shot at with fireworks and blank guns. The police counted 30 attacks on rescuers, 390 arrests and 54 injured officers.

Pfizer: In-House Dissent

Dissent concerning the experimental mRNA treatment intended to mitigate the effects of infection with the Wuhan Coronavirus has been disparaged, suppressed, and in some jurisdictions prosecuted by the state. Yet it never went away; it just went underground. According to the story below, this was even true of people employed by the Pfizer corporation.

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Uncut News:

Pfizer employees talk about injections: This news has never been published before

In August of 2021, Pfizer made its mRNA coronavirus vaccine mandatory for employees in the United States. Many employees did not want to be vaccinated.

They created a chat group where they shared their reservations, concerns and all kinds of misbehavior. Hundreds of employees were members of the group, including high-ranking executives. Melissa McAtee, a former Pfizer employee and whistleblower, posted some of the messages on X because she wanted the world to know what was going on.

The lawyer Carine Knapen read them and found that they contained some hallucinatory things: the product glows in the dark, the product is deadly, and once the expiration date expires, the expiration date stickers are simply replaced with new ones.

Someone also points out that this is all about money, and Pfizer, but also Merck and Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) have their own SWAT teams. McAtee says she trusts the person who wrote it.

Someone else writes that all batches cause major problems. Another says they probably know the vaccine is garbage and will kill people, but they’re rolling it out anyway to make money.

Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine was developed using CRISPR-Cas9, a technology that works like scissors. Part of the DNA is cut out and replaced with a different sequence. CRISPR-Cas9 is gene therapy or genetic engineering.

McAtee has already stated that she is not at risk herself.

When Pfizer mandated the vaccine for its employees in August 2021, some of my colleagues formed a “Phyzer Vaxx Council,” which included hundreds of us, among them senior employees. Every day we discussed the evils being done and what we had to just pretend things were normal. I will also add internal Pfizer emails, proof of my employment, and just plain nonsense from the company to this post. Enjoy, these have never been seen or posted anywhere else. Names have been redacted to protect those still at the plant or who have not agreed to have their names published.

Hungarian President: “In many families, there is almost constant sickness”

Our Hungarian correspondent László has done a detailed analysis of the startling remarks made by Hungarian President Katalin Novák in her New Year’s address to the nation. After he wrote his initial analysis, the transcript of Ms. Novák’s speech was removed from the media site where it had been posted, and the state broadcaster dubbed her speech at the critical point so that her problematic remarks could no longer be heard.

László adds this note:

I assume the president wasn’t supposed to tell us that snippet of truth about our “constant sickness” and the state of “our immune systems”. But at least now we know that they know. And now they will know that we know that they know. And now we also know that they care that we know.

Update from László, posted in the comments after I went to bed:

The two articles in question became available again on Magyar Nemzet after a while (before this post on GoV was published) — and they are there now as I’m writing this comment. It’s difficult to know what machinations have been going on in the background.

I assume that with the temporary removal of the transcript of the speech, the media outlet might have intended to bypass the period of peak traffic in order to do some damage control. I mean, after a day the public’s interest in the president’s speech naturally drops, plus it is not on the front pages any more — so it could be reinstated.

In the meantime I also learned that there was a cyber attack against several Hungarian conservative media outlets yesterday. But since “future cyber attacks” have been heralded by the WEF, we cannot trust even cyber attacks to be genuine, can we?…

And this is the very nature of this war that we just don’t get to know what They do to us and why. Therefore what exactly was behind the temporary deletion doesn’t matter that much to me now.

What remains however, is the president’s strange statement about the “constant sickness” of the populace, and the fact that she connected that to the state of “our immune systems”.

“As if our immune systems have been weakened”: Hungarian President’s New Weird Order Address to the Nation

Original analysis written by László on 1 January 2024:

Hungarian President Katalin Novák’s 2023 New Year’s Eve address to the nation was as weird as it could get. In the translation below I have highlighted the parts that sound very NWO to me. Actually, I think only the highlighted parts are interesting — the rest only serves as context for this post.

The president’s weirdest statement is the first highlighted sentence (see the transcript of her speech below) about the “constant sickness” in “many families” in Hungary. Katalin Novák said:

“In many families, there is almost constant sickness, as if our immune systems have been weakened.”

As if…

Is it an attempt to do damage control after the mass effects of the Poison Poke can no longer be hidden? “…as if our immune systems have been weakened,” she suggests, and apparently attributes this weakening to the fact that “the world is a roiling sea around us”:

“The world is a roiling sea around us. Whirlwinds rage, stormy waves crash everywhere. War in Ukraine and now in Israel, mass protests, economic and political uncertainty. Here at home, anxiety, the struggle for everyday life. Life is more expensive, spending has to be considered, reserves have had to be tapped.”

Yeah, anything but the Jab…

Note also in the transcript that below the Katalin Kariko cult can never end in Hungary.

Beware the roiling seas!

Update by László (2 January 2024):

The transcript of the president’s speech seems to have been scrubbed from the only source (magyarnemzet_hu) that first posted it. At least for me, the original link of the transcript returns a 404 error message. And the transcript has been deleted from another link of the same media outlet as well… making it a pattern. I also noticed that the Hungarian state TV has dubbed her speech at the critical sentence so that it cannot be heard:

“In many families, there is almost constant sickness, as if our immune systems have been weakened.”

So I had to use the Wayback Machine in order to retrieve the original transcript, only one day after it was published by Magyar Nemzet. That said, the whole video of her speech is still available on Facebook where her PR team posted it, and the sentence in question can be heard at 3:07.

I can only guess what has happened in the meantime, but if I use Occam’s Razor with the information that’s available to me, the president’s PR advisors or some journalists must have noticed that she made a serious mistake, and now they decided to silently delete it from the public mind without creating a Streisand Effect. (At least one regional paper that had taken the transcript over from Magyar Nemzet still has it on their site.)

The Light Has Come Into the World

Merry Christmas, everybody!

The weather at the moment doesn’t look anything like the photo at the top, which was taken here at Schloss Bodissey in February of 2006. It just seemed seasonally appropriate. Right now it’s actually quite mild, and semi-overcast. There’s been almost no snow so far this season.

The future Baron is here. We’ll be having a nice Christmas dinner in a little while, so posting will be light. I hope you all have a joyous Christmas.
