It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

In the original Chrimbo Carol below, Perry Como is in his element. He knows everyone on the set and they all know him. 44 years at RCA Victor after signing on, in '43 and his hand in the stagecraft is light but revealing. As is his hand when he playfully spanks a worker. The set construction is viewed as a simulacrum of a stage upon a stage. It's a really good song. I hope you enjoy it and never think about the first one again 😎

Conspiracy Realist

The Telegraph's Meredith Walker, wrote an article yestereday corroborating the key points I made in my previous post. They are that when .GOV has an inconvenient human rights obstacle to remove, it cannot manufacture easily ignored mandates such as the lockdown rules broken by Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock, Dominic Cummings, Sir Keir Starmer, Neil Ferguson (subsequently rewarded with an OBE), SNP MP Margaret Ferrier and Sir Gavin Williamson (Knighted for his efforts) among other Members of Parliament.

“The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.” ― Henry Kissinger

Here's the article.

During my two decades in tech I’ve seen governments manufacture public outrage to serve their desire for control more times than I can count. There’s a predictable pattern that starts with a complex social problem receiving widespread attention. Everyone acknowledges the gravity of the issue. There is a rush to “do something”. 

But “something” too often involves magical thinking and specious “solutions”. Frequently, technology is painted as both cause and solution. Problems are presented as existing “online” and thus their solution is framed as technological. This almost always involves some combination of expanding surveillance and curbing the fundamental human right to privacy and free expression. 

The Online Safety Bill is a perfect example. Under the pretext of protecting children, its provisions could lead to the implementation of government-mandated mass surveillance applications on every UK smartphone. These would scan every message you send. 

The opaque databases and error-prone AI technology that would power this surveillance regime could lead to the mass deplatforming of millions of people based on unreliable algorithmic systems. Such a system would also introduce vulnerabilities and flaws that would inevitably be exploited by hostile states and hackers. 

While politicians have denied for months that the Bill will break encryption, the Home Office has been quite clear that it believes end-to-end encryption is enabling child abuse on the internet. 

The cynicism of this argument is made clear when we recognise that the Government has reduced support for measures protecting children that seem more likely to work. Early intervention services spending was slashed by 50 per cent from 2011 to 2021; referrals to children’s social care rose 9 per cent in 2021-22 alone. 

There’s no way to square this with the idea that protecting children is the first priority, rather than a pretext for government-mandated mass surveillance.

As written, experts agree the Bill would nullify end-to-end encryption, which Signal and other apps use to ensure that only you and the people you’re talking to read your messages. 

This encryption is what stands between citizens and the criminals, scammers and (sometimes) regimes that would dearly love to have access to their innermost thoughts.

This would make Britain a global role model for repressive regimes. If the UK declares that it’s fine to surveil all communications, it will set a precedent others will follow. 

It will have written the playbook by which authoritarians around the world could justify similar systems, where phones could automatically report citizens to the government if they write “Hong Kong Democracy”, “Ukraine Invasion”, “LGBTQ resources” or whatever else a government decides to ban. Being the first country to mandate such systems would be a stain on Britain’s legacy. 

Whatever happens, Signal is committed to ensuring people everywhere have the ability to communicate privately. When the Iranian government blocked Signal, we recognized that the activists, journalists and citizens in Iran who needed privacy were not represented by the authoritarian state. We worked to set up proxies and other means to help them access Signal. 

If the Online Safety Bill is passed, we promise that we will do everything in our power to ensure that the British people have access to safe and private communications. But we will not undermine or compromise the commitments we have made to you, no matter what the Government says.

However bleak the prospect, I remain optimistic that it will not come to this. The cynical and unworkable reality of the Bill is becoming clearer, and well informed politicians are moving to remedy its most troubling provisions. 

The Online Safety Bill is part of a pattern. But it’s a pattern we can stop here. There are real measures that the Government can take to protect children and I sincerely hope that Parliament will look to address them, rather than stripping away privacy and other fundamental rights.

The End of Rebellion Will Soon be Extinct - Extinction Rebellion - Rebellion Extinct

Extinction Rebellion = Rebellion Extinct. 

Geddit ?

In plain language it's the end of the universally recognised right, to protest due to the Police and Crime bill passed last month which takes away the right to protest on the flimsiest of excuses. 

It won't be used till it matters.

In old books, the difference between Evil and Wicked is that any arsehole can inadvertantly and wittingly or otherwise be evil. Wicked is different, wicked is to purposefully be evil and that's how wicked entered global English vernacular by design.

It doesn't take Looking Glass technology to know an awakening and largely injected population are going to be irritable at best and kamikaze at worst. The laws to crush those rights were taken by crisis actors glueing themselves to the road (but not art galleries natch).

In carefully strategized publicity pranks by Extinction Rebellion. The right to peacefully protest was taken away from the British people ("Hurrah" the trainspotters at the front yelled) and superfast legislation to crush all protests including the one where you can no longer use petroleum to get about. 

Electric vehicles can be remotely disabled, but far more pernicious is they suck big time, but only from an ecological, fossilized-fuel cost/benefit perspective. Human rights aren't guaranteed anywhere in the world, but for the child labour. It would be neglect not to call it out right? 

If the public concluded that a young British Hedge Fund manager invested in the still unproven technology of mRNA [modeRNA] injections exactly a decade ago, and then, get this...went on to become PM of the UK a decade later during the philanthropically billionaire-predicted pandemic where his blind-trust held investments went on to make billions? 

Will they be snippy?

What a lucky fella. Luckier than Lucky Larry Silverstein. Calling people in Parliament who questioned the efficacy of the injections after their health was damaged by the product 'anti-semitic' through a doozy cued up by Matt Hancock, the most loathed MP across the land? - I don't hate Matt Hancock or Rishi Sunak. I just want to look the Midazolam families in the eye when the gravity of what took place sinks in.

The bitter gourd irony is that ventilators are extraordinarily complex medical equipment technology that kill between a third to a half of all hospital patients depending on their age. That figure rises to nearly 100% for patients medicated with Midazolam and/or Remdesivir. The COVID hospitalization protocols were implemented and followed without exception worldwide by medcial professionals some of whom knew, and many of whom were just following orders which is why so many NHS nurses rebelled against mandatory COVID injections. They couldn't say what they knew without losing their jobs but they weren't going to inject themselves with a drop of COVID to train their bodies to reject the 'virus'.

That's why he's called Midazolam Matt. He ordered extra supplies of the drug and thus is provably complicit in the slow motion genocide which still has years if not generations to pan out due to the modified genetic properties of the mRNA injections which would ordinarily still be in medical trials today if they were traditional viral vector vaccines (that I have refused since my Yellow Fever shot since year 1999.

Every day more and more people are waking up to the deception. I am here to tell you it is not incompetence and so when that population rises in protest, it will be illegal, crushed with police violence using agent provocateurs and that's why the legislation needed to be changed through the Police and Crime Bill 

In one sentence: The fast tracked bill to jail people gluing their hands to the road while police looked on, were publicity stunts to change peaceful protests laws.

Everything has to be done with your free will.
