It seems at though the globalists, after marching in lock-step through the escalating stages of authoritarianism, have suddenly come to a fork in the road and plunged off in different directions. And it's not an Anglo-European split, either. It's a US-UK axis versus a Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand axis. The People's Front of Judea (US-UK) versus the Judea People's Front (the rest of the civilized world, as we used to say). Splitters. And in the US, particularly, the politicians and the health professionals (I use that term loosely) are now out of key. It's all a bit odd.
Until Christmas time, they were all humming the same melody; you know, that familiar one which demonizes the unvaxxed and eulogies the compliant, as long as they continue to be so. And telling anyone who would listen that the Deplorables were small in number and shrinking by the minute and could be effectively dismissed from polite society as non-persons. And it's not that the political messaging has grown discordant. If anything, that side of things has gone into overdrive. Lest we forget, let's remind ourselves of the absolute shower of effluence that masquerades as our leaders:
“We are going to end this pandemic by proceeding with the vaccination. However, there is still a part of the population that is fiercely against it. They don’t believe in science and progress and are very often misogynistic and racist. It’s a very small group of people, but that doesn’t shy away from the fact that they take up some space. This leads us, as a leader and as a country, to make a choice: Do we tolerate these people?”(1)
Justin Trudeau, His Excellency, President for Life, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas in Canada.
"I won't send [unvaccinated people] to prison, so we need to tell them, from 15 January, you will no longer be able to go to the restaurant. You will no longer be able to go for a coffee, you will no longer be able to go to the theater. You will no longer be able to go to the cinema....putting pressure on the unvaccinated by limiting, as much as possible, their access to activities in social life...How do we reduce that minority? We reduce it – sorry for the expression – by pissing them off even more.... But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.”(2)
Emmanuel Macron, Head Oompa Loompa, French Division
“We will pave the way for a decision of conscience by members of the German Bundestag about a general vaccine mandate that will come into force next year, in February or early March, and which everybody can get ready for now. I will vote in favor of such a law.”(3)
Olaf Schulz, Führer, Germany
“We’re going to lock out people who are not vaccinated. We’re going to move from a system where we’ve got everyone locked down to a situation where, to protect the health system, we’re going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be. This becomes absolutely a pandemic of the unvaccinated and, when we open everything up, it’s not going to be safe for people who are not vaccinated to be roaming around the place spreading the virus.”(4)
Dan Andrews, Commissar, Victoria, The Federal Republic of Australia
"It will become very clear to people that if you are not vaccinated there will be things that you miss out on, everyday things that you will miss out on. It's about both rewarding people who have gone out and done the right thing but also keeping away people who are less safe."(5)
Jacinda Ardern, Headmistress, Kiwiland
There are others. I guess that, after nearly two years of rule that's been unencumbered by anything so crass as opposition, it must be increasingly difficult to pretend that you're the leader of a democracy. So, on the surface, it's full steam ahead as usual. This, despite the fact that they are all lying through their teeth about 'vaccinations' and have been so doing for months:

There are a few surprises there, aren't there? In fact, in general, the percentages aren't as high as you might think, if you were getting your information from government mouthpieces instead. When Napoleon II openly victimizes the unvaxxed, he's not casting 10% into the outer darkness; he's condemning over a quarter of the population. When Brandon is stumbling through a speech about the unconscionably selfish 'vaccine' hesitant, he is talking about four in ten Americans. Even Babbling Boris across the pond has less than 70% of his subjects subjugated. Benito Trudeau and the Gruesome Twosome Down Under aren't doing much better, all hovering at around 75%.
The world's 'most jabbed country', Israel, turns out to be a laggard at 64% and the citizens of Mitteleuropa are all languishing in the early to mid seventies in percentage terms. It's only really Spain and Portugal that are holding their end up. If we venture further eastwards, into the old Soviet Bloc, we find compliance in a range between 36% to 68%, with the average around 50%. And this after two years of full-on propaganda and psych ops. We all know how many sheople surround us and yet, all is seemingly not lost. More have resisted than we might have thought. And I would estimate that at least 40%-50% of those that succumbed did not do so because they feared for their corporeal lives; for their married, family, work, online and social lives, yes. Because they thought they'd die in their beds without the clot shot? I think not.
So the lost souls, the ones that could only be coaxed back from their internal world by therapy, anti-psychotics or a combination of both, probably number around a third of Western populations and possibly less than that number in Eastern Europe. The authorities seem to have forgotten that not every vaxxer is a true believer.
But once we delve beneath what the mouth breathers on the tube have to say, we find that some media and some health 'experts' have starting reversing course. In 'Once More Into The Breach', I sensed a shift and hypothesized that it was driven by Brandon and the Democrats and their short term 2022 political needs. Hence, Fauci and Walensky attempting to walk back some of their most egregious falsehoods and the media chiming in with editorials hyping Omicron as an alleged panacea to cure all ills. Plus, we had another cipher in the studio the other day telling us the following:
“Cloth masks aren’t going to provide a lot of protection. That’s the bottom line. This is an airborne illness, we now understand that.”(6)
Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner telling us something that has been known since God was a teenager, but only acknowledged now. I noted that the PCR test was being withdrawn from use in America and the antigen test is also being dissed into oblivion.(7) What I didn't do was explore what was going to replace it. Because how can the numbers be maintained without adequate testing? How does the regime keep the emergency going if they can't show that there is one? Are they going to rely on those patients that make it into hospital, lab test them and extrapolate from there?
The only part of this that we rely on is the near certainty that they haven't done it for the reasons they say they have, particularly as they've spent two years exaggerating every aspect of the 'pandemic' to the nth degree. And now, after Brandon talks about there being no federal solution for Covid, we get Fauci putting forward a federal solution to Covid; apparently, abandoning the definition of 'fully vaccinated' is the way towards health heaven:
“We’re using the terminology now ‘keeping your vaccinations up to date,’ rather than what ‘fully vaccinated’ means. Right now, optimal protection is with a third shot of an mRNA or a second shot of a J&J.”(8)
Despite Walensky, over at the CDC, saying only last week:
“Individuals are considered fully vaccinated against Covid-19 if they’ve received their primary series. That definition is not changing.”(9)
I guess, technically, the definition hasn't changed if it's been consigned to history instead, but the differing positions on the 'vaccines' are puzzling. I wonder if there is a bit of hissing and scratching behind the scenes? And, technically again, Fauci and Walensky have been somewhat sidelined by federal courts in the past month, so whatever they've got to say about what they consider fully 'vaccinated' is a bit of a footnote, at present.
In the UK, also, confusion reigns. In addition to being unable to collect the bins, Boris' government is proving adept (once again) at projecting mixed messages; if we are to accept that Big Media is a de-facto part of the state or, at worst, cheerleader in chief. We've had the sudden talk of Omicron as nature's cure and yet, just before Christmas, the government passed a bill making 'vaccinations' mandatory for National Health Service staff.(10) I'm struggling to see the logic there, but maybe that's the point. There has been a relatively half-hearted attempt to institute 'vaccine' passports, but the government has retired wounded on that score; so far.
There is now a lull – we've gone from Javid wittering on about multiple boosters, to a vacuum. Plus, of course, Boris forgot to pay the invoice for the PCR tests within 90 days and now they're as scarce as rocking horse excrement. Or perhaps it's by design, to somehow dovetail with the American foreswearing? In both countries, the flu vaccination campaign is about to start in earnest, so there is every likelihood of more doom and gloom in care homes and in the population at large. But, nonetheless, while authoritarianism still looms large, the impetus of the whole 'vaccination' scam seems to be waning. We could not say the same thing about the rest of the West.
The Austrians will be fining the 'unvaccinated' from February 1st, the Germans are scrabbling to catch up with their Teutonic little brother, the Gallic gerontophile is stamping his Cuban heels in a hissy fit, the Dutch police are busy beating up elderly protesters (11), our Antipodean cousins are becoming increasingly miffed at civic disobedience and Justin is as out of his depth as ever, but covering it with bluster. Nobody in this group is taking a backward step. 'Vaccines', boosters, mandates and othering are all grist to the mill. None of these puppet masters have indicated that any of the tests are now verboten, but it's difficult to see how they can keep up the pretense when the US has abandoned it.
The way this is supposed to work, is that they all keep up a united front. With no cracks in the facade, there is little opportunity for any opposition to exploit differences. It doesn't make any of the nonsense any less obvious to those of us who care to look, but it does give the impression of an overwhelming, implacable enemy and it is very demoralizing. I don't imagine that the elites want to dissipate that advantage and give us any encouragement and yet that is what they seem to be doing.
This divergence, in the absence of any overarching new 'pandemic' that drowns out all other noise, makes the more repressive regimes' diktats much more likely to fail. It's a further wrinkle in the Narrative. It makes me go looking for potential incoming scares. And, sure enough, there are a couple floating about.
One concerns some Chinese scientists working in a Canadian lab who were detained and seemingly deported, due to the fact they were sending viral samples home to labs in China.(12) Which lab do you think they went to? Yes, that one. Fifteen different strains of Ebola and Ebola-like viruses, shipped on a commercial airline in March 2019. Coincidentally, in January 2019, the Chinese announced that they had:
“discovered of a new genus of filovirus carried by fruit bats in China. The genome of the so-called Menglà virus shares sequences with other filoviruses, including Ebola and Marburg, and all three use the same receptor on host cells to gain entry for infection.”(13)
And, ongoing currently in the city of Xi'an in central China, is a lock-down of an entire city of 13 million people.(14) This is allegedly due to a Covid variant that makes you bleed from the eyes. And yes, the city does have an international airport. And, yes, the Winter Olympics are starting in Beijing on 4th February. And, finally, there are grounds to believe that the Chinese had a test release of Covid at the World Military Games in October 2019.(15) I mention these things by way of a stream of consciousness. I'm sure none of them are connected. Just making some observations, the first of which would be that nothing the Chinese tell the West can be trusted. The second would be that no Covid variant is going to make you haemorrhage from the eyes, especially now that we are experiencing milder variants.
There is also vague talk of some new strain, found in France and elsewhere, with 46 mutations (named IHU, for some unknown reason).(16) Twelve people in Marseilles were apparently infected, but the delay involved in identifying a new variant in a lab must mean that if this variant is the slightest bit infectious, it will be more widely circulating by now. No one knows how virulent is allegedly is. No-one knows why they've chosen to highlight this variant, out of all the others that have been found so far. Could be a Plan B, I guess.
In conclusion, additional strange things are happening. The regimes are under minimal pressure from the great unwashed. None are on the verge of collapse and, even if they were in reality, there is no guarantee that they'd realize. Lately, they have proven themselves tone deaf in their dealings with their menticidal advocates in the general population, granted, but a volte-face on substantive issues makes no sense. Especially one conducted by only a couple of the players and not by the others. The global elites are suddenly dancing with two left feet. A lull followed by a ramping up of the fear porn, on the other hand, does compute. I don't think it will take us long to find out.
