Happy Holidays, Thanks and Good Wishes

Plus, a few words about Elon Musk's Twitter and some special awards for some of our very 'special elites' of 2022.

Dear Readers,

Thanks for keeping abreast of my musings here on Substack, one of the few remaining platforms I know of on the internet where free speech still has the edge over censorship, suppression, and propaganda. Yes, you can infer from that that I have not bought into Elon Musk’s new Twitter.

In addition to Musk family ties to the origins of Technocracy itself and Musk’s own glaringly obvious business links to the Deep State, the modus operandi is too familiar. It is the very same Big Tech model that has ensnared We the People for more than two decades into an ever tightening web of digital surveillance and information control, which enabled the Covid era to present itself in all its authoritarian glory in the first place. In this model, our words, actions, relationships, and inner most thoughts are commodities monetized by others. We are unwittingly not just ‘the product’, but one which is canabalizing itself while slowly but surely giving away all our power and agency as our privacy, individual rights, freedoms, and democracy itself are gradually separated from us.

All Musk has done is restore some semblence of the “free lunch” illusion Big Tech has been peddling all along, until much of that pretence was promptly dropped in the spring of 2020. Musk has simply rewinded the game to an earlier stage for the same cynical reasons that Big Tech became what it is today in the first place. Yet, Musk fans and admirers, and even erstwhile Twitter critics and Big Tech skeptics alike are falling for this hook, line, and sinker. But here’s the tell: Musk has not changed, not promised to change, nor even criticized the Big Tech Model itself. That’s because he and whoever pulls his strings are doubling down on it. But I digress.

‘Tis the season, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank those friends and other readers who have joined along the way and who kindly share their time with me here. I am well aware that my posts will seem relentlessly dark in nature to many. However, to me, having seen and read the things I have on my own particular journey the last three years, they seem almost matter-of-fact at this point. In any case, I have to call things as I see them. Nevertheless, I did not want to miss an opportunity to be a little more positive and to wish you all a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year in spite of our governments and those who own them.

My appreciation for this time of year has only been enhanced since watching politicians and so-called leaders work so hard to come between friends and family, particularly during and in the lead up to this season the last two years. In hindsight, it is clear that our governments have been working from the same playbook from the outset on virtually everything. So, I’m assuming that what I’m about to describe concerning the UK will sound familiar to you wherever you reside. In any event, here, so-called health authorities dangled Christmas over us like a parent offering a miscreant child a sweet for good behavior, while promising the belt if said child did not play along.

Except it was much worse than this, because in the case of government oppressions against individual liberties, up to and including keeping families apart at Christmas, there was neither legitimate authority for such deprivation, nor any real intent to provide the implied ‘reward’ even when the required ‘good behavior’ was forthcoming, as it had been all along by the vast majority of the population. In addition to driving compliance for government mandates, which can be characterized at best as having been ill-conceived and ineffective, it was the act of demanding and achieving compliance itself, as well as the psychological operations (psy-ops) that enabled this, which were the government’s main objectives when all is said and done.

I recognize that there may be a certain percentage of readers who still believe that government actions were well-intended and justified based on the information available at the time, but I do not subscribe to any of that. At the time, I had adopted a more moderate position. I and many others knew that many government actions were unlawful and unconstitutional, irrespective of what the covid facts might have been. We also knew that governments were blowing supposed covid related facts out of all proportion, inflicting great damage on societies in the process, and that they had no scientific foundation that was remotely commensurate with their authoritarian actions. Hence their need for the term, ‘THE SCIENCE”, as a call-sign for intimidating and undermining those who would question the government’s positions and actions.

I am still waiting on “the science” for social distancing, incarceration, and face muzzling of healthy general populations including young children, not to mention PCR tests as a diagnostic tool, and especially above 30 cycles. That last one would be absolutely hilarious were it not so pathetically sad, so antithetical to science, and yet, the lynch pin to the whole damn enterprise. Yet, here we are nearly 3 years later and I can’t stop thinking of that little old lady in those Wendy’s commercials all those years ago who asked, “Where’s the beef?” There is none. Despite this, I still held out for the possibility that our governments were misguided but well-intended, and that they would surely come around eventually, once they saw all the damage their policies and actions were inflicting on their populations. I was naive.

But then, our promised salvation came in the form of the ‘vaccines’. Of course, then we all had to have them or be potentially fired and ostracized from society, even though the ‘vaccines’ were experimental and developed at record speed that defied all precedent several times over by large corporations with dubious origins (Moderna and BioNTech) and a litany of criminal convictions for fraud et al (Pfizer / Astrazeneca). Even though, Power had to abruptly change, and had the awesome raw power to change the definition of a ‘vaccine’ - globally, at the drop of a hat, just so that the covid ‘vaccines’ could even be classified as such, in order to then be forced on populations. Even though, as we all eventually learned, those ‘vaccines’ don’t stop infection, spread, hospitalization, or death; and if you still believe they “reduce severity of symptoms”, please recognize the pattern and try to catch up.

So here we are, and no, aside from useful fools and little local dictators whose intentions I can only guess and do not care enough to waste more brain cells over at this point, I no longer believe our governments have had good intentions in their actions since very early on in the supposed pandemic, if ever. I say supposed, not because I think many people didn’t get sick, with some tragically dying, as happens every year, but because the mortality rates for 2020 do not actually support the view that there was a pandemic, as represented by our renegade government authorities. Sorry, I’m simply following the actual science, and referring to all the relevant major databases of those same authorities in the US, the UK, and Europe, when I make that observation. Note that Power is on to people like me and accordingly has since changed the definition of a pandemic too. Mortality has been removed from the WHO’s criteria for declaring a pandemic, in anticipation of um … declaring another pandemic.

Government actions in general and certainly vis-à-vis Christmas and other holidays the last two years cannot be squared on health grounds alone, if at all. However, there are other possible explanations that fit the modus operandi much more readily. The first is the above referenced psy-op agenda. Any good psy-op campaign entails an on-again-off-again roller coaster ride of fear, uncertainty, and isolation followed by a period of false calm and reassurance, followed by more abrupt and faster paced fear, uncertainty and isolation. This is a crude description of the basic behavioral psychology governments and the media use to keep us distracted and hanging on their every word. Check! The second shoe that fits, much like the first, is an essential ingredient we see in all Marxist and totalitarian societies, and that is an abject intolerance on the part of those in power of worship or the celebration of anything they perceive to compete with themselves and their ideological agenda. Check!

In Canada, in particular, government abuse at Christian places of worship, not to mention the Trudeau government’s complete indifference towards the arson attacks on dozens and dozens of churches spoke volumes, as did government abuse of Jews practicing their religion in Victoria, Australia. Both of these examples were well covered by Rebel News, and they are just that, examples of a broader systematic attack on the part of western authorities against western religions, in particular. We did not see those same governments go after Muslim religions, for instance, nearly as hard. However, I believe that to be temporary and merely a strategic calculation on their part, but that discussion would take us deep into Critical Theory, which is highly relevant to the Covid era, but must be left there for now.

Although I was babtized and I do remember my grandmother giving me 50 cents the handful of times I went to church with her, I have never been a religious person. However, it has been my observation, rightly or wrongly and generally speaking, that those who are, have been ever so slightly more prone to hold steadfast to their values, and not be as swayed or manipulated by external forces into abandoning them and turning on their fellow citizens. This has only served to heighten my respect for my fellow citizens who are religious. If I am right, this helps explain the need for renegade authority to undermine and outlaw congregation in places of worship, while permitting it in so many other places of less import. Much like small businesses and the travel industry writ large, religion and religious holidays have been singled out for attack by governments in the Covid era - all with clearly identifiable ulterior motives.

I no longer give any politicians or mainstream media my time or attention directly, on-demand, in real-time. Instead, I study them from a safe distance, through the independent media, through source materials on subjects I deliberately seek to study, and through occasional after-the-fact painful exposure I get from the mainstream media when I stick my head back in the tent to smell the stench and see if anything’s changed. For this reason, I do not know what our politicians are saying about the holidays this year. Have they wished you a sincere and heartfelt Merry Christmas? Have they congratulated you on your compliance and told you that you now deserve a wonderful caveat-free holiday season with friends and family? If they have, and you genuinely believe it was convincing, I would love to see this, so please let me know. I’m not holding my breath.

On the contrary, it could just be me, but what I think they have showed us the past two years is that they see people going about their daily lives, congregating, loving thigh neighbor, and placing friends, family, and worship as our highest priorities as a threat to themselves and their power. On the off chance that there is any substance to this suspicion that I and many others share, and I certainly think there is, my natural response is that we should all have the very best holiday season ever, in spite of them, and that is what I wish for you and yours.

I also believe Power has big plans for us in 2023, but I remain optimistic that more and more people are waking up to the game that is being played and that the odds that it can still be ultimately be thwarted are increasing - slightly. With that in mind, I also wish you a Happy & Successful New Year!

In closing, I decided to recognize some of Power’s ‘great elites’ and great fools of 2022 with some special rewards. Actually, it’s more like from 2020 through 2022. Identifying the winners was not easy, and the process was not scientific. In fact, it was more back-of-a-napkin methodology and disproportionately focused on the Anglo-Saxon world where my knowledge base is stronger. I acknowledge that any errors are entirely mine and that for every winner, there were a dozens, if not hundreds of others who deserved consideration. You can see the results below.

Enjoy!

Front Office Leadership and Key Enabler Awards for the Covid Operation

1. Bill Gates is Mr. Total. He controls global public health, much of Big Pharma, and many of the world’s leading universities and hospitals. He wants to control our children’s education. He wants to control the world’s agriculture and food supply - he wants to destroy biodiversity and feed us bugs. Mr. Total wants to control our weather and our atmosphere. He wants to cover our faces and control our freedom of movement. He wants to control what gets injected in our bodies, whether we like it or not. He actually wants to control more than just these things, but suffice it to say, one has to wonder whether the covid pandemic could have been possible with out him. Mr. Total gets first prize.

2. Klaus Schwab is Founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), something he thought of all by himself, without any help from Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller. Schwab proudly boasts that through the WEF’s highly secretive and now decades old Young Global Leaders Program, he has “penetrated the cabinets” and head-of-state positions in governments all over the world with people that work for him. Miraculously, within a mere two months of the first covid lockdowns, Schwab managed to suddenly write, publish, distribute and promote his infamous Great Reset book that was nearly 300 pages long and called for the entire world to be permanently turned on its head and bent to the will of Schwab and his cronies at the WEF, cuz of, um, covid. Schwab gets second prize.

3. Xi Jinping is more of your old-fashioned kind of totalitarian, but with modern weaponry and surveillance technology, much of it from America’s own Silicon Valley, to boot. Oh, and of course from Mr. Total’s company. Xi has an estimated 1 million Uyghurs held in concentration camps and has instituted a regime that forcibly harvests organs from these prisoners and others to serve China’s burgeoning illicit organ trade in the international market. A further 23 million Chinese followers of Falun Gong are estimated to have disappeared since the early nineties. What part Xi had in this is not known in detail, but he has not helped find them since. Xi is seemingly revered and adored by Gates, Schwab, and many others who have been so kindly looking out for our health the past three years. Plus, it was apparently Xi’s Fauci-funded Wuhan lab that released the alleged virus they apparently got from UNC’s Ralph Baric and EcoHealth Alliance’s Peter Daszak, neither of whom has anything to do with Anthony Fauci, the CIA or the DoD, so… for all these reasons, Xi gets third prize.

4. Anthony Fauci is a narcissistic sociopath with more blood on his hands than most war criminals. There are almost no words, were it not for RFK Jr’s book, The Real Anthony Fauci, which actually has a lot of words about Anthony Fauci, and Mr. Total, too. Highly recommend. Actually, that’s not quite right. There are lots of books with lots of words for Anthony Fauci. He gets first prize as an enabler.

5. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus runs the World Health Organization. Okay, not really, but you know what I mean. Like his number one puppet master Mr. Bill Gates who appointed him, Ghebreyesus is not a doctor and would seem to have few of the qualifications one would look for in someone running global health. Like his other puppet master, Xi Jinping, Mr Ghebreyesus stands accused of committing genocide in his home country. Yet Bill Gates Mr. Total refers to him as ‘one of the most able public servants he’s ever known’, or something to that effect. Ghebreyesus is also a savant. Somehow, he magically knew as early as the spring of 2020, that there would be “no return to the old normal”. To date, we have never seen “the science” Ghebreyesus apparently had access to that justified that extraordinary statement when he first made it. While I do not rate Ghebreyesus’s intelligence very highly, he was essential to the whole covid operation. He gets second prize as an enabler.

6. EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen is a Klaus Schwab sycophant and protégé. She negotiated Europe’s agreement for Pfizer’s covid gene therapy drugs privately over text messaging with Pfizer’s Albert Bourla. Despite repeated demands, she refuses to disclose said agreement to the EU Parliament and says she’s somehow lost the Bourla texts. Yet, I’m baffled by this, as she could just ask Bourla for copies, unless he’s somehow lost them too? Or, presumably she knows someone somewhere in government who could ask the relevant phone companies to produce the copies. Von der Leyen is a highly enthusiastic covid authoritarian who is in the process of gaslighting Europeans into accepting as their obligation, her and the EU’s instructions to get covid booster shots every three months, presumably forever? Mrs. von der Leyen is also fast at work putting the infrastructure in place to implement a mandatory universal ID for all EU citizens, and is busy gaslighting them about this as well. These two things are directly related to each other, to the coming Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), and to Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset. Von der Leyen is a New World Order star through and through. She gets third place as an enabler.

7. Noah Yuval Harari is Klaus Schwab’s closest protégé and biggest mouthpiece at the WEF. While he wears his clearly deep-seeded insecurities on this sleeve, he enjoys talking about how, thanks to the ‘adoption’ of mRNA ‘vaccines’, humans everywhere are either now or soon to be hackable by governments and large corporations, whether they like it or not. He takes pains to stress that this is something totalitarians of the past such as Hitler and Stalin could only have dreamed of, and gets so excited when saying these things that he seems almost aroused. Mouth-piece Harrari gets fourth place as an enabler.

The World’s Biggest Useful Fool Award

1. Donald J. Trump: People tend to love him or hate him. I don’t care for the man himself, but on paper I do think he was the best of the otherwise universally terrible presidents we’ve had in my lifetime AND the only one among them who might not have been in the pocket of shadow government organizations. I said might. In spite of that, at best, he was played like a fiddle by the Deep State, Fauci and Big Pharma into bringing humanity the disastrous mRNA injections via Operation ‘Warp Speed’. He did this without anything remotely resembling proper due diligence or sufficient oversight.

   Under the circumstances at the time, many well-intended leaders could have had the wool pulled over their eyes. However, Trump has never stopped recommending the injections or taking credit for them. Nor has he stopped to reconsider his position or his role in the covid operation, despite the mountain of severe adverse reactions, deaths, and evidence pointing to harms that have piled up since the covid injections started. For this, Trump gets first prize in the Useful Fool category - at the very least.

2. Neil Ferguson is the Imperial College epidemiologist whose team wrote the early and now infamous covid modelling paper that gave both the UK and US governments the pretext information they needed to go into lockdown. I count myself among an estimated < 0.001% of the global population that actually read Ferguson’s paper, and studied the third-party technical review of the software he and his team used to run their so-called models. As God is my witness, the modelling is outlandishly preposterous and the paper and the software were both absolute garbage.

   In regards to the modelling and the paper, this is not surprising, as it turns out Ferguson has been getting pandemic predictions disastrously wrong for his entire career, which may go a long way towards explaining why he was in the prominent position he was in the lead-up to the Covid era, and why he remains there today. However, it is really strange that Ferguson and crew are using software that is seemingly from the Jurassic Period.

   Did I mention that Bill Gates (Mr Total) gives untold millions to Imperial College? Yes, the same Bill Gates who really should know a thing or two about software! For all these reasons and more, Ferguson gets second prize in the Useful Fool category. Oh, and he famously broke every ‘rule in the book’ he was recommending to governments when he got caught breaking quarantine for a quickie with his married mistress.

3. Rochelle Walensky, Antony Fauci’s handpicked puppet at the CDC, gets her covid vaccine information from CNN and bases her agency’s draconian policies on hope. To the best of my knowledge, Walensky is quintuple vaxxed, still catching covid, and has not put two and two together. She is also proving to be quite adept at making it difficult to analyse adverse reactions in government databases, which also seem subject to disappearing statistical data with increasing frequency. Walensky gets third prize in the Useful Fool category.

4. King Charlie III: Charlie wants what Schwab & Co. want. He wants a “Great Reset” and he doesn’t want us to miss this great opportunity for Power to reset us little people - BIGLEY. In most of the limited hang-outs where I spend time, conspiracy realists like me tend to afford Charlie the very high status of evil incarnate or thereabouts in the New World Order orthodoxy. I’ve tried in vain to see this myself, but I’m not finding it. Simply put, I just don’t think he’s smart enough either way. Nevertheless, Charlie has allowed himself to be used as one of the most prominent figures on the world stage calling BIGLEY for a “Great Reset”, so he gets fourth prize in the Useful Fool category.

The Special World Economic Forum Obedience Award

AKA the Klaus Schwab Lapdog Award

When Klaus Schwab boasted on film of penetrating the cabinets in governments around the world, he did so at the Council on Foreign Relations of all places, and he cited Justin Trudeau, along with many others by name. All told, there are at least 5,000 WEF Young Global Leader Alumni with untold thousands of them that Schwab & Co have manoeuvred and muscled into prominent positions, not just in governments, but across the establishment around the world. Nevertheless, few New World Order acolytes carry Schwab’s bag like Canada’s black-face Justin Trudeau, New Zealand’s Jessica Arden, California’s Gavin Newsom, and France’s Emanuel Macron. I know there are other contenders, but these are my favorites. They’re all tied for first.

Major update: Can’t believe I left Mark Rutte of the Netherlands off of this list in the first draft of this post. In addition to being a Klaus Schwab apologist and lying in the Dutch Parliament about his relationship with the man, any supposedly democratic leader who attempts to rip 3,000 farms out from under independent farmers under bogus pretences is a New World Order star of the highest order. Tied for first.

The Pharma Mafioso Award

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has been well covered on this page. Moderna’s Stéphane Bancel spent some ten years trying to get a drug approved and failed every time until, poof, covid, and then magically within just a few short years he amassed a personal fortune of $6.2 billion. Amazing! Apparently, earlier in his career Bancel had something to do with building the um, Wuhan Lab? Both men are good buddies with Mr. Total. Astrazeneca CEO Pascal Soriot was recently knighted by New World Order King Charlie, after which, while brimming with confidence and pride, he promptly claimed that the Astrazeneca blood-clotting concerns were overblown and that other ‘vaccine’ manufacturers also had similar “small issues” related to their Covid ‘vaccines’. I wonder how many deaths and life-altering adverse outcomes Mr Soriot would need for “small issues” to be considered big issues?

Top 10 Honorable Mentions from Team UK

This is my home team, so I hate to blast through them like this, but Christmas is fast approaching, so here goes:

Boris (1): He famously took the country into our “2-weeks to flatten the curve” lock- down. Over a year and a half later, he was calling those who had concerns about the ‘vaccines’ and his government’s authoritarian covid policies “nut-jobs”. He’s a complete disgrace. Next.

The UK’s Chief Medical Advisor, Chris Witty (2) and Patrick Vallance (3), the UK’s Chief Scientific Advisor are both part of the infamous SAGE committee that advises the government on Covid policies, among other things. Multiple SAGE members have come out publicly admitting that SAGE deliberately sensationalized fear in the population to command compliance with government edicts. Duh!

SAGE is highly secretive, yet chalk full of conflicts of interest as well as nudge behavioral psychologists whose job it is to help the government manipulate the public. Vallance has strong career ties with Big Pharma and according to the Mail Online, he “made £5m from a company racing to find (a covid) vaccine...” That company was the infamous GSK. That same paper cited “How Dr Doom 'silenced' covid lockdown criticisms (and) 'rolled his eyes' at advisers who dared question whether masks were needed in schools amid Rishi Sunak's claim that dissenting voices were 'edited out' of key meetings” Jonathan Van-Tam (4), the UK’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer was just another highly placed useful fool, very pro-authoritarian policy and anti-free speech.

One of the above referenced behavioral psychologists helping to manipulate not just the British public via SAGE, but the world via the WHO is UCL’s Susan Michie (5) who also happens to be a devout communist.

To answer Michie’s question in the screenshot above, I’m pretty sure being a communist means that you want to tear down your democratic society and replace it with a Marxist Utopia, and if Michie is half as smart as she’s purported to be, she should certainly know this. This also seems to be precisely what Michie, SAGE, and the WHO are all trying to do, but what do I know. I also watched Michie tell a bald-faced lie about how masks were used in Japanese culture pre-Covid, as justification for her draconian mask policies, and espoused preference that we should keep wearing them forever (as well as put a permanent end to handshaking.) I used to live in Japan, so I know that what Michie was saying was a disingenuous apples and oranges comparison - at best.

Matt Hancock, our former Secretary of State for Health, like former Governor Cuomo of New York, stands widely accused of stock piling insane amounts of Midazolam to euthanize untold numbers of our elderly who our government and medical establishment ejected from hospitals and sent back to care homes where they infected countless others who then also died. How these men had the foresight to stockpile so much of this drug so early on and what its intended use was is a big mystery, but these are very good questions someone should be held to account to answer. Hancock had to resign for getting caught on surveillance camera footage breaking his own social distancing and masking rules ny making out with a colleague who was not his wife. The now divorced Hancock prostitutes himself on ITV’s ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ program, which seems about right for him.

Savid Javid (7), former Home Secretary and former Chancellor of the Exchequer then had a go as Hancock’s replacement as Secretary of State for Health. Soon after commencing his new job, Javid made a visit (on camera no less) to a London hospital in an apparent PR move to persuade the public that healthcare workers were okay with being coerced into getting covid injections. The whole event backfired badly and all Javid succeeded in doing was making a fool of himself by proving how little he understood about anything he was mandating or the people he was oppressing.

I have written about Priti Patel (7), former (Covid era) Home Secretary before. No one was more apparently eager than Patel to throttle citizens for having the temerity to defy government authoritarianism. In the UK, the Home Secretary is responsible for the domestic security services and most of the police forces. No one tried harder or more overtly to ban peaceful protests that are constitutionally protected under Common Law.

Rishi Sunak (8), our new prime minister, is another ‘adult-child’ of Klaus Schwab and his Great Reset / New World Order ideology. For much of covid he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, the UK’s second most senior position after PM. The Chancellor is a Treasury Secretary who actually has real power over the nation’s budget, power which can rival a prime minister. However, in Sunak’s case, he was more of a puppet. Klaus Schwab’s puppet, not the prime minister’s. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, he helped put the travel, leisure, and hospitality industries, and small to medium enterprises writ large out of business up and down the UK, as well as bankrupt the Treasury, setting the stage for a future Great Reset.

Beyond that, Sunak was relatively quiet throughout, yet as a senior most Cabinet minister he had a duty to be anything but. Predictably, later as part of his first attempt to become PM, which he lost to the short-lived and exceptionally incompetent Liz Truss, Sunak came out publicly claiming to have been against many of the government’s most draconian policies all along. It didn’t wash, and he lost. Then Truss bombed or was sabotaged, and we got Sunak anyway, as intended? Sunak is married to the Indian billionaire heiress of Infosys. My favorite thing about him is that when he was Chancellor he did a full-blown PR advert for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the UK, without once mentioning any of the risks, downsides, or concerns. This tells me all I need to know about him, and if you’ve read my other posts, hopefully, it does for you too.

Last but not least, we have Jeremy Hunt, who I am ashamed to admit I used to know. Hunt, himself a former Health Secretary, lost bigley to Boris in an ill-fated attempt at capturing the ‘First Among Equals’ job in 2019. As such he was relegated to the back benches for a long stint. In a normal functioning democracy this would have been the end of him, but Hunt has big backers who have been angling to put him in the top job for well over a decade. (I know this to be true because I have my own personal fly-on-the-wall story in the room with a young Hunt and some of those backers from way back when. I’m going keep that one to myself, but it’s quite a story.)

Much like our opposition party, Hunt seemed to adopt the view that the best way to antagonize a government he wanted to unseat was to criticize its draconian covid policies for not being draconian enough. Hunt actually said, no joke, that he was planning to implement mandatory flu injections for the UK during his time as Health Secretary, but his tenure was cut short before he was able to do so. Astonishingly, this was years before Covid! Hunt’s wife is Chinese, which is absolutely fine. But Hunt regularly heaps praise on the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party and goes so far as to imply we should emulate them, and as a senior UK politician who is rapidly zeroing in on the top job, that’s absolutely not fine. Hunt is now our Chancellor of the Exchequer, which means he controls all our money. Yikes!

The Special Covidian Tin Pot Dictator Awards

We will cover them in detail another time. They have to be held to account everywhere, including on my little Substack page. For now, here are some of the Cliffs Notes:

1. Dan Andrews, Premier of Victoria, Australia, possibly ground zero for Covid authoritarianism thus far. Erected internment camps in his state.

2. Gladys Berejiklian, former and now disgraced Premier of New South Wales, Australia.

3. Michael Gunner, Former Premier of Northern Territories. Presided over Australia’s largest internment camp. Used the army to abduct and incarcerate healthy citizens, some of whom were allegedly injected with mRNA experiments against their will. Went viral multiple times for losing his mind during news conferences.

4. World Economic Forum Governor of California, Gavin Newsom.

5. San Francisco Mayor, London Breed.

6. Los Angeles Mayor, Eric Garcetti. (California can’t catch a break.)

7. New York Governor, Susan Hochul: tried, failed, and is still trying to pass legislation that would permit any government authority in the State of New York to incarcerate any citizen wherever they choose, for as long as they choose, without right to appeal, merely on grounds of a suspected health concern.

8. Former New York Mayor, Bill De Blasio, in addition to his too many offences to count, the man made a spectacle of himself eating a fast-food hamburger on TV as a way of enticing gullible New Yorkers to get covid injections.

9. Current New York Mayor, Eric Adams: He has wasted no time flexing his covid authoritarian muscles. He also apparently has a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio, which is pretty impressive given his salary as a former NYC police man. (New York definitely can’t catch a break either.)

10. Laurie Leightfoot, Mayor of Chicago and possibly the angriest woman on Earth.

11. Gretchen Whitmer, Senior covid authoritarian and Governor of my native state Michigan. Help!

Best All-Around Performance Award

for Corruption, Demagoguery, alleged Sexual Harassment and Play-acting the Role of President of the United States

The World’s Biggest Puppet Award

The Most Damage Inflicted on Humanity in My Lifetime Award

I wouldn’t venture to guess who of the two will win. Only time will tell.
