The London Protests of 2021
See what they hid from you.
I was moved when I recently discovered this wonderful song from ‘Five Times August’, together with a montage of great footage in this video from Oracle Films of several of our London protests in 2021. By my count, there were at least 10 such protests in Central London that year. The UK Government, the BBC, and their ‘Trusted News Initiative’ effectively concealed them all from the British public and the world.
Even for diehards like me, Big Tech made it difficult to know when and where these events were taking place, let alone inform others about them. One can only imagine how much bigger still they and their impact might otherwise have been. To this day, the vast majority of people I know here in London have little to no awareness that these historic marches occurred, and yet the crowds were still very large indeed.
Censorship and suppression were not the only tactics employed by Big Tech overlords of the so-called Trusted News Initiative. While these corporations and their platforms were busy smothering news of the London protests, not to mention systematically censoring discourse supporting them, they rolled out the red carpet for ad hominem, innuendo, and rampant speculation; as long as these weapons were aimed at the marches and their participants. Credentials did not matter. Highly accredited experts were silenced, while absolute nobodies were given social media megaphones because they amplified the narratives and undermined questioning of the same.
Many in the ‘absolute nobody’ camp, as well as numerous individuals with some degree of irrelevant fame, used Twitter to publicly scream at anti-lockdown protesters writ large, essentially calling us murderers and other nice things. Some wished harm on us and even called for violence against us. Yet, somehow, these useful fools did not run afoul of Big Tech’s algorithms or opaque ‘community guidelines’, i.e., they were not censored. Instead, they were amplified. More than a few were later found to have been among those who had also used Twitter to actually sing praise and virtue-signal their support for protesters of a different sort during Covid not long before.
In any event, Big Tech’s actions had the intended effect of making the most radical establishment-supporting extremists appear representative of a majority and those with questions and concerns, often relating to the health and protection of their own children, look like an unhinged tiny fringe part of society. Of course, this was all part of Propaganda 101, and the truth was completely different.
In the video above, I recognize many faces from all the various marches, including the beautiful smiling little girl on the cover and the adorable dancing children at the very beginning, who I had my 10 seconds with as I passed by. The first protest, captured beautifully in the ‘Humanity on its Feet’ video below, was the most real day of my life since the Spring of 2020, and I am sure many who were there feel the same way.

These videos are undoubtably shadow-banned, but they are magnificent. If you were at these marches you will love them. If not, it is worth seeing what you missed and what was likely hidden from you. Governments and Big Tech may still yet attempt to ‘disappear’ them, as they have so many other things, but history needs to record that these events occurred and to never forget the tyranny that brought so many good, peaceful, and law-abiding people from all walks of life out onto the streets; not least because the tyranny still looms large.
Don’t miss the last 60 seconds at the end of the above video where the nurse gets so much support from the crowd. It is amazing! The first-responder and front-line hero narrative, which governments dispensed with the moment it stopped being useful to their agenda, was the only Covid narrative genuinely aligned with truth, and therefore the only one worthy of respect. Unlike our governments, protesters genuinely respected our first-responders and front-line heroes, as shown in the video above and in my (now censored) video in my addendum below regarding a 2022 march in London which was specifically dedicated to them.

The Power Versus People Paradigm hereby dubs FTA the Bob Dylan of our time - hands down. Never mind the superstar fame or riches, they are not needed. Since protest artists are yet another thing that is no longer tolerated by the mainstream in the Covid era, it is easy to forgot the importance of such people in serious times.
Above is a recommended FTA playlist I found online. The music is wonderful and the lyrics powerful. If you have stood for freedom, democracy, and the rule of law the past 2.5 years, they will resonate. If you still believe the Covid era is primarily about a virus and are trying hard not to consider other possibilities, FTA is trying to reach you. Give his lyrics a chance. They might succeed where I have failed.

When the morally bankrupt Johnson Government under the direction of then Home Secretary Priti Patel was actively trying to outlaw peaceful assembly on specious grounds, it was these beautiful, peaceful, and diverse protests shown in the videos above that they were targeting but would not acknowledge.
The government had to embrace censorship, suppression, and attempts to outlaw the democratic right to peacefully protest, because these events were simply too big, too peaceful, and too full of love to be tolerated. People of all ages and races from all walks of life were present, smiling, talking, and laughing together. Heaven forbid, spontaneous outbursts of hugs between strangers were also frequently seen. Equally imperative to hide were the countless protest signs criticizing the government, asking incisive questions, and conveying powerful statements. It would have been problematic to say the least, for the government (and the media) if the country had had unfettered exposure to all the positive energy and defiant imagery on display at these protest marches.
Yet, the UK Government and other supposedly democratic governments around the world would have the public believe that peaceful protesting had to be outlawed on grounds of public health concerns. That is except for all the BLM/Antifa protests the previous year, of course. Those protests were often far from peaceful, but somehow uniquely immune to the virus, even at a time when Covid fears and unknowns were much greater than in 2021. (Hello, again, Mass Formation Psychosis.)
Here’s the thing:
At no time did the government, public health figures, or the mainstream media cite any of these London protests as so-called super spreader events with credible evidence. (Cognitive dissonance, anyone?) So flimsy and so exposed would such an argument have been, that I am not even aware of any serious attempt to use the usual junk propaganda science to try to support it.
As can be seen in any of the videos above, not one in a hundred people in these marches was masked; a point I make not because I believe masking the general public stops the spread of a virus, but rather to highlight that this is yet another area where science was well established prior to the spring of 2020, until “the science” took over, and suddenly, just like that, it no longer was.
From coerced masking of healthy people, including young children, to ‘social’ distancing and asymptomatic transmission; from using PCR tests as a diagnostic tool for the general public to authoritarian lockdowns, which incarcerated healthy citizens in their homes, “the science”, seemingly invented overnight in March of 2020, with compelling evidence still not forthcoming on any of it, can be easily dismantled scientifically in 2022; just as it had already been done across the board prior to the spring of 2020 by the very establishment that now says otherwise. But our establishment powers skipped many steps when they suddenly changed all the rules.
First and foremost, they never explained how and why they were so comprehensively wrong, scientifically, prior to the Spring of 2020, and how they were then suddenly so right in the opposite direction with “the science” from that moment forward. They never explained how they were justified in turning science into “the science”, nor on what basis they and their new positions were suddenly beyond reproach, never to be questioned. They never explained what it was about Covid-19 that necessitated nullifying basic tenants of virology and epidemiology, some of which had more than a century of science supporting them, such that reality itself had to be turned upside down, with power placed exclusively in their hands. They never explained why a virus necessitated censorship, the end to freedom of speech, and the opening of a door to tyranny that could obviously never be easily closed. Yes, they skipped many important steps. Yet the fact that these marches occurred with unmasked protestors throughout 2021 further underlines the flagrant credibility problem our governments and health authorities have with their narratives.
“Never in the history of humanity has science so closely approximated religion as it does today, what with its dogmas, its critical judgement mutated by technocracy, and its industrial power leadership. Leaders and the press consult with pundits in white coats as if they were clergy.” Gilles-Éric Séralini, Author of The Monsanto Papers
From all this, it appears that several conclusions can be drawn:
First, it seems that the government was more afraid of the marches themselves than of any public health threats they might have posed. Remember, this is the same government that, having locked most of us down, was busy ignoring its own mask and social distancing rules while having large celebratory parties at No. 10 Downing Street.
Had any one of the ten marches been legitimately determined to have been a super-spreader event, the government at any point could easily have have put its evidence to the public and used it to launch a mass communications campaign. They have demonstrated clearly that they have such capabilities in spades. They have been orchestrating campaigns, albeit those built on fear and division, which employ full-blown psy-ops on the general public, non-stop from the spring of 2020, but also since long before.
Instead, governments doubled down on some of the worst forms of propaganda. Without acknowledging the protests directly, the UK government, including the then Prime Minister Johnson himself, slandered all who opposed its authoritarian Covid policies as “anti-vaxxers” and “nut jobs”, singling out entire cross sections of society as “the problem”, not unlike tactics used in Germany in the 1930’s or by today’s Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, who called those who would question him “… extremists who don’t believe in science…misogynists…racists” who “take up space” and went on to ask, “Do we tolerate these people” in society?
Then, there was President Joe Biden who said his patience had run out with such people; again singling out those who disagree with him and actively pitting the rest of the population against them through the use of fear-mongering and appeals to tribalism, self-righteous indignation, and base discrimination. These are old tactics that work like a charm, every time: 1930’s, indeed.
Meanwhile, the media kept reporting to a minimum, while otherwise grossly misrepresenting the London events in terms of size (“hundreds of people”), purpose, and nature. At at least two of the marches, BBC headquarters became a major focal point where tens of thousands of people congregated and called out the BBC for its complicity in censorship and suppression. This was an exceedingly rare, if not first-time event, in the BBC’s history and most certainly a highly newsworthy development in and of itself. Yet, I do not recall seeing it covered in the BBC News. Nor, for that matter, am I aware of any of the BBC’s major competitors properly covering it. This essentially says it all and gives the whole game away, does it not?
Second, the government and media’s ghosting of the London marches, while successful as a tool for suppressing awareness and diminishing attendance, thereby aiding their propaganda efforts elsewhere cannot reasonably be argued to have been for the purpose of keeping these events safer by keeping them smaller. If the Covid fear-porn being portrayed by the government and the media had been remotely accurate, then any one of these marches was large enough many times over to have brought the entire healthcare system of London, followed by the city as a whole, to its knees. That did not happen. Although the government brought the entire country to it knees in other ways, and is still seemingly in intent on doing so more permanently.
Every one of the marches had crowd sizes that provided robust statistical samples, which scientifically put the government’s Covid narratives to the test. In every instance, those narratives, or what the government and media incessantly call “the science” flopped. There were no substantive correlating upticks in hospitalizations, deaths, or even so-called cases attributable to these marches. Even if tenuous correlations had been identified, there is certainly no robust evidence anywhere that begins to commensurately justify the government’s suppressive posture towards the marches or its draconian treatment of the British people more generally. Of course, once that realization is established, the government’s position completely unravels more broadly.
Had such evidence existed, it is hard to see why the government would not have used the data, both for the good of public health and to bolster the credibility of its otherwise highly questionable positions. If, by some twisted interpretation, we presuppose that such data did exist, then clearly the government withheld it from the public. Therefore, either way, the government’s position is untenable.
However, it seems obvious that such data did not exist. Not least because none of the government’s public health databases suggest otherwise. Nor do any credible statistical analyses from any of the country’s major NGO’s as far as I am aware. If they had, why did the media not heavily report on it? In and of itself, the apparent absence of such evidence would seem to go a long way toward explaining why the government was desperate to keep the spotlight on these marches as small and obscured as possible and why it was trying to unlawfully end them through duplicitous means.
Finally, and there is really no getting around this: governments throughout the western world were either innocently mistaken in believing that only BLM events had magic anti-virus shields surrounding them - because, clearly, other protests such as ours in London opposing the harms and draconian actions of governments also had the same divine intervention protecting them - or our governments have been lying to us. And, if governments were lying about this, what else have they been lying to us about? Hopefully, someday, the people involved will be held to account and compelled to explain themselves, preferably in courts of law.
Those who want to forget and move on from the past two and a half years have not understood what has happened and what we are really up against. It is something far far bigger than Covid-19, and it always was.
While many still cannot see it, due to the extensive propaganda and psy-ops we have all been subjected to, evil with nefarious intent is still comprehensively in our midst.
Be brave, share information, resist all absurdities, and spread the love, and evil will ultimately lose.

Addendum
I had forgotten about this protest in January 2022, which I actually made an amateur satirical video on but never published. I then forgot about the video, probably because I have tried and largely succeeded in moving away from YouTube, but here it is:
(Update: YouTube censored my video shortly after I made it public. I consider this a badge of honor and will not remove the above warning. I am happy for people to see it. I will make my video available in another post on a platform where free speech is still permitted. In spite of Big Tech and the wishes of the US government, there are still many of them.)
Here’s a collage of some of the signs I took photos of that day. Together, I think they have a lot to say, don’t you? Did you watch the videos above? Did the protesters look like the anti-science racists and misogynists Trudeau referred to? Do they look like fools or crazy people to you? Do their signs make them seem so? Bear in mind that your husband, wife, father, mother, daughter, son, grandmother and grandfather were at these protests. Okay, not literally, but people like them in nearly every other respect, except for disagreement on this one issue, were certainly well represented:
