Nature & Normality

Exploring Romney Marsh Nature Reserve with my son Edison on 16/01/2022, I talk about the overwhelmment of the NHS and how ‘normal’ life is different to two years ago; meanwhile Edison enjoys the simplicity of the natural setting.

The Cancellation Of Christmas

During a walk with my son Edison on 20/12/2020 in Great Chart, Ashford I reflect on the announcement of new tier 4 restrictions and the cancellation of Christmas due to a new, ‘mutant’ strain of the Covid 19 virus.

Rethinking Covid-19

As the period of lockdown in the United Kingdom (UK) reaches the end of its third week and subsequent government review, many alternative ideas have been shared on social media about its origins as well as the statistics involving the number of cases and death rate.  Please note I am not endorsing or denying these ideas but raising them as alternatives to the ideas in the mainstream media.  I encourage people to do their own research on the subject and only believe what feels right to them.

First there have been a series of videos about what a virus is and how it starts.  One video includes part of a lecture by Dr. Thomas Cowan who quotes Rudolf Steiner in 1918: “Viruses are simply excretions of a toxic cell” .  The video explains that a virus occurs when a cell is poisoned which results in exosomes being released as a natural immune system response.  The claim is that viruses are not transferable by human interaction which leads onto the conclusions of Alfred Firstenberg that flu pandemics have occurred at times of changes in the world’s electromagnetism.  Thus, the Spanish Flu of 1918 was a response to the worldwide rollout of electricity, the 1968 Hong Kong virus was a reaction to the first satellites in the ozone layer and the 2020 coronavirus pandemic a reaction to the 20,000 radiation satellites launched into the earth’s field to support the launch of 5G.  Cowan concludes his point by claiming that Wuhan was the first city to be blanketed in 5G.  (Some people claim the first city was Shanghai yet Wuhan is one of the early adopters).

5G is the fifth generation of wireless communication technology and United States (US) President Donald Trump recently compared the rush to implemention with the space race and as a result 5G has been pushed through without full, independent testing.  At a time when not enough is known about the spread of Covid-19 a sensible approach would be to stop the increased use of this technology to ensure there is no causation linked to this correlation or other affects on nature and the environment; yet this has been neglected under the precept that it (currently) ‘remains’ and is ‘still’ at a frequency which is non-ionising (although there is the capability to increase the frequency in the future).  In response there has been the first signs of social unrest with some people burning 5G towers; this has resulted in all information and videos on the topic being banned under the banner of ‘fake news’.  This has been significant and videos such as the one by Dr. Cowan have now been removed from social media sites.

We are also seeing some change in the figures which were originally presented prior to the lockdown.  Imperial College, influential advisors of the UK government and an organisation in receipt of funding from the Bill & Linda Gates Foundation, originally predicted up to 500,000 deaths in the United Kingdom yet one of it’s professors Neil Ferguson last week said it could now range between 7,000 and 20,000 – a significant reduction.  Even Dr. Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of the United States’ most prominent medical advisors recently conceded “that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19  may ultimately be akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza” (which has a case fatality rate of 0.1%).  To date there have been 97,000 deaths worldwide and this includes the 18,000 deaths in Italy in spite of the Italian Health Ministry confirming only 3% of Coronavirus fatalities did not have other serious health complications (thus they may have died of ofher causes but also tested positive for Covid-19). Some context may be provided by the statistic from the worldometers website that there are 16,500 deaths from hunger worldwide which fails to attract the same level of attention from the media.

Interestingly, a simulation reflecting similar circumstances to what is happening took place in May 2010 in a report produced by the Rockefeller Foundation.  In the ‘Lock Step’ scenario a new influenza virus originating from geese streaked across the world infecting 20% of the world’s population.  The suggested response was a world of tighter top down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.  Innovations included scanners to detect abnormal behaviour, health screenings and restrictions on travel, all things likely to become more prominent in response to the current situation as governments increase their focus on protecting citizens.

Based on the current death rate of 0.0001% of the global population and the flaws in the original projections, some measures of the lockdown may soon be loosened; however considering the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has only left intensive care (after being diagnosed with the coronavirus) I expect the existing lockdown will continue.  Although social media has reported ‘deplorable’ people not respecting social distancing most people I see have been compliant.  Bill Gates (the second biggest donor to the World Health Organisation) claims that it might not be until Fall 2021 when Americans “can be completely safe” as it will take time to develop and deploy a global vaccine.  Thus the high levels of unemployment, financial recession/depression and world food shortages (due to supply chain inbalances) which are already having impact will likely continue.  I argue that more rational thinking is now required with decisions coming from our highest being rather than from fear.

The situation has caused governments all over the world to take a lock step approach in order to protect it’s citizens, and history has taught us that governments’ nature is to increase it’s control and surveillance power.  I expect Boris Johnson to now produce a Churchillian performance and recovery to raise spirits but the  lock step world is likely to continue with people becoming more socially conditioned to the change.

From a different perspective I recently saw that the coronavirus was predicted by a mystic, Sylvia Browne in 2008:

“In around 2020 some severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.

” Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it has arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely”.

Even if the virus does soon disappear it’s legacy has changed society dramatically; so much, that its impact will be felt for many years.  We are living through an important time in humanity’s history, the decisions and actions we take in these moments must be chosen wisely.

Brexit Day

So today at 11pm the United Kingdom will leave the European Union.  A historic day which has been marked with mixed celebrations across the country and the minting of a new 50 pence piece.  But what does it mean in reality?

In essence, very little will change in the coming months as the UK moves through its transition period to December 2020.  No longer will the UK have voting rights in the Council or have MPs sitting in the European Parliament but the major issues of the free movement of people and goods will continue undisturbed until a withdrawal agreement is agreed.

I had written previously that I would be surprised if by January 31st 2020 a true Brexit had taken place and much work is still required.  I argue that so far all this step has really achieved is the partial appeasement of the conflictive and emotional situation which has divided the British public since the referendum of 2016.   Due to a Conservative majority in Parliament Boris Johnson will be confident that he can push through Brexit to completion but some important issues still need to be agreed and it remains unknown whether significant changes regarding immigration or trade will take place.

Thus, eleven more months of political debate and negotiation is on the horizon and despite today’s billing as the day the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, ‘Brexit Day’ is just another chapter in this long running saga.

Brexit Flextended

So today was the day that the United Kingdom (UK) was set to leave the European Union.  British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the UK would be leaving with or without a deal and he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than agree a Brexit extension.  Yet a (fl)extension has been granted for the UK to leave on or before 31st January 2020.

I had written previously that I was sure there would be plenty of twists and turns ahead and there have been many.  The prorogation of parliament, it’s subsequent appeal and reinstatement, the passing of the Benn Act making it illegal for the UK to leave without a deal, a new deal being agreed with the EU, Parliament passing an amendment witholding support until full legislation of the withdrawal agreement has been scrutinised and now the announcement that a general election will take place on December 12th.  Much debate has been held, emotions fraught and column inches written and the forthcoming General Election is now a potential roadblock to prevent Brexit from ever taking place.

There have even been difficulties in agreeing the General Election date, with some politicians unhappy about a winter election.  What is clear is that there are many politicians who are trying to stop Brexit (486 politicians want to remain opposed to 160 to leave was a meme I saw recently) and so far they have succeeded,  twice.

Thus overall, since my last post on the subject in August I feel that the likelihood of Brexit taking place has decreased.  Although it is difficult to predict, my view remains that by the beginning of February a true Brexit will not have taken place and for now, the saga continues.

Brexit Update

I haven’t written in a while so thought it was time to update following some developments regarding Brexit.

First, a comment made by by Noel Gallagher, singer, songwriter & musician from the band Oasis to the Manchester Evening News:

“There’s only one f***ing thing worse than a fool who voted for Brexit.  That’s the rise of the c*** trying to get the vote overturned”.

Certainly, the subject of Brexit is a very emotive and divisive topic.

Moving on, I predicted in May 2019 that pressure would increase on British PM Theresa May so much so that a second referendum or “People’s vote” would be called.   Although pressure increased on Theresa May, events have occured differently and instead she felt the need to resign.  Following a leadership vote within the Conservative Party the United Kingdom now has a new Prime Minister, Boris Johnson who says he will deliver Brexit on October 31st 2019.

Johnson speaks defiantly that a ‘no deal’ scenario is the government’s default position and Brexit will be achieved, yet, regrettably, so many politicians do not fulfil the promises they make when coming to power.  If Brexit does happen we also do not know yet whether it will be ‘hard’ (changes to Immigration Rules and leaving the Customs Union) or ‘soft’ (with superficial changes made only).  My opinion remains that a soft Brexit will take place regardless of whether a deal is made or not.

If a deal is made I expect to see Boris Johnson praised whilst if a ‘no deal’ does happen then I expect any negative consequences to be used to influence public opinion for a deal to be made.  if this occurs I expect Boris Johnson to be lauded as a saviour for turning things around.

Personally, there seems too much at stake for the financial centre in the City of London for the politicians to risk a ‘no deal’ scenario which is why I still believe a solution will be found; however I have been wrong before (like so many I never saw the 2016 Referendum result coming).

What I’m sure of is there will be more twists, turns and possible roadblocks before we reach  31st October 2019 (Halloween); which could finally be the culmination of this nightmare saga.

What do you think will happen? Will Brexit take place? If so, what type of Brexit?  Please leave any comments below.
