Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian Oct 20, 2023
A few days ago we published an article discussing how the Great Reset agenda is still moving forward behind the scenes, while the headlines are full of Israel-Palestine.
But it’s also true that, in its thirteen days of existence, the war itself has already pushed that agenda forward as well.
Censorship
Normalising the suppression of dissent and creating a culture of fear around free expression are a major part of the Great Reset, after all the other steps are so much easier if you outlaw inconvenient protests.
And, naturally, calls for the suppression of freedom of expression have sprouted up everywhere since the war started. We covered this in our article “Israel-Hamas “war” – another excuse to shut down free speech”
Since that article was published this campaign has gained momentum.
European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton sent warning letters out to every major social media platform, claiming they needed to “combat disinformation” regarding Israel and threatening them with fines.
In yet another blow to the “China is on our side” narrative, Chinese video-sharing service TikTok has eagerly agreed to “combat disinformation”.
Students from Harvard and Berkeley have been threatened with “blacklisting” for voicing support for Palestine.
German and French police are breaking up pro-Palestine demonstrations, while – in both the UK and US – there are calls to arrest people for waving Palestinian flags, or deport those who “support Hamas”.
Creating a culture of fear, making people afraid to express themselves or their political opinions, is just one of the many things that Covid, Ukraine, Climate Change and now Israel have in common.
Facial Recognition Software
It’s always curious when a supposedly “left field” story breaks and ties in neatly with an issue already in the news.
The rise of facial recognition software – a threat to everyone’s right to privacy – is one such.
Before the “surprise attack”, Israel’s use of facial recognition technology was called “Automated apartheid” by Amnesty International. In the US, states have been opposing the use of FRT for a long time, with some introducing bills to ban it outright.
Now, however, Israel has allegedly been using facial recognition tech to identify dead and wounded. The Jerusalem Post calls it a “tool to help Israel recover from Hamas’ war”.
And in a highly curious coincidence –
three days before the alleged “surprise attack” , Sweden’s government was reported to be “forced” to increase its usage due to “gang violence”.
In the UK this timed up neatly with the government’s plans to upload every passport photo on their database to a facial recognition program [we covered that here].
The plans sparked muted protest, mostly because nobody really heard about it. Then, on Saturday, during the pro-Palestine march in London, Metropolitan police enforced section 60AA powers, requiring attendees not to cover their faces, to facilitate live FRT. (There goes Sweden by the way, another of the “good guy” countries.)
Nobody has said a word against it. Suddenly what was “Orwellian” back in April is now – thanks to the latest war – totally fine.
Police have introduced Section 60AA powers at the pro-Palestine demonstrations in Central London.

The fact the same people demanding no one cover their faces now were screaming “wear a mask!” for the last three years is the most poetic of ironies.
And, just as ironic but a lot more tragic, the same people who opposed the use of this technology during lockdown protests, will cheer it on for “terrorist sympathizers”, which brings us neatly to point three…
Dividing the Alt-Media
The independent media was the biggest reason the “pandemic” narrative fell short of its grandiose aims. The narrative lost it’s momentum in the face of a pushback from solidified resistance from right across the political spectrum – spanning the anarchist left to the libertarian right.
A major arm of the globalist strategy since then has been undermining that solidarity and the reach of alt-media outlets, attacking their funding, limiting their reach and – most obviously – sewing discord with divisive distractions.
It was no accident that the Russian invasion of Ukraine broke Covid resistance right down the middle, splintering it along old-fashioned fault lines.
The Israel-Hamas “war” has already broken those two sides into two more. Collective action and independent thought have been banished to the shadow realm in favour of tribalism. People have been manipulated into abandoning an anti-globalist stance, choosing to staunchly defend the “good globalists” from the bad ones.
It hasn’t just broken the alliance of anti-lockdown/anti-vaccine dissenters but has also broken their principles and discredited their opinions.
Many – mostly on the conservative right – have forgotten that Israel was right at the forefront of the Covid lie, forgotten they were first to vaccinate and the first to use “green passes”, and have leapt to their defence (or, more accurately, jumped at the chance to push an anti-Islam agenda).
They now push for collective punishment and – as mentioned above – cheer on the quashing of free speech for “terrorist sympathizers”.
Consider Douglas Murray, for example, who is considered to be a “free speech absolutist”, but in the wake of the “surprise attack” is writing columns with headlines like this…
Why do we allow protests that glorify slaughter?
Whether these people were ever genuine in the protestation of freedom or not, their credibility on that front is now broken forever.
I think this tweet says it best:
“The multipolar world”
The flipside of the factionalism which continues to fracture the Covid sceptic movement is the concomitant promotion of the so-called “multipolar world”.
The fact that the ruling force of the world is a globalist elite which calls no state home was made brutally clear by the fake “pandemic”. A major objective of that globalist elite has since been to obliterate that fact from our collective mind.
A false narrative is being sold that the crumbling US Empire is “globalism” and that a rough axis of opposition exists in the form of Russia, China, Iran et al.
This narrative has been sold by both mainstream and alternate media since the start of Russia’s “special military operation”.
It is a simplistic binary good guy/bad guy narrative designed to push 2 years of full-scale global cooperation between these supposed “enemies” out of people’s minds.
Already the Hamas-Israel conflict is doing its part to further this deceptive narrative. It creates the impression of a world divided along well-worn (but increasingly meaningless) lines.
The pandemic made it clear the elites of the world are all following the same script.
War is designed to make us forget that fact.
And if it means a few thousand people have to die in the process – so what? The West and East were both happy to kill their own people with lockdowns and toxic jabs – so why not with missiles?
They are selling worn out Cold War memes to persuade you they are not your enemy – it’s those people “over there” – the Moslems, the Jews, the Russians…
…you can fill in as required.
North Korea has been blamed for supplying weapons to Hamas.
Iran is reported to have funded – even planned – the attack.
Even Russia, who traditionally strongly oppose any-and-all Islamic “terrorists”, are showing signs of compromising their usual “neutrality” on Palestine. They are sending aid shipments to Gaza, and mooting ceasefire resolutions to the UN Security Council (which the US instantly vetoed obviously).
For their trouble, Israeli MPs are threatening Russia with war live on RT.
In his address to the nation yesterday Joe Biden quite deliberately equated Putin’s Russia with Hamas. Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky did the same almost as soon as the “surprise attack” took place.
The global battle lines for a supposed “world war 3” are being drawn up.
All of this feeds the illusion that huge seismic ideological differences separate these nation states, when in reality they share the vast majority of New Normal goals.
Remember that both Israel and Hamas sacrificed their people on the altar of Pfizer. Any claims to care about civilian life now – from either side – must be met with the most absolute skepticism.
*
As you can see, Hamas’ “surprise attack” has put fresh momentum behind some of the NN goals that have been on the establishment’s to do list for a while. And that’s just so far, there are others that have not materialized yet but easily could.
There’s talk of a refugee crisis – increasing illegal immigration and stirring up more of that desired divisive rhetoric, whilst providing western governments with a blame-sponge for the financial destitution they have deliberately created.
Oil prices are already rising, any moment they could roll out the next “energy crisis”.
Maybe it will be Gulf nations embargoing Israel, or Western nations sanctioning whoever, but they are laying the groundwork. The Wall Street Journal warns of “echoes of 1973”, the US has sold off half of its reserves and might not be “ready for a crisis”.
Two stories from just this morning warn of a “potential crisis”.
If (when?) it comes it can (and almost certainly will) be immediately parlayed into serving the “climate change” agenda. We will told there is a silver lining because we’re “increasing our reliance on renewable energy”.
It’s an immense tangle of lies, but they all lead in the same direction.
There is already a lot of discussion, in alt-media circles, of the nature of Hamas. To what extent were they created by Israel, or at least allowed to happen? And how much does this extend to the “surprise attack” itself?
Some were calling it an “inside job” from the moment the news broke, and it does bear the usual hallmarks of your traditional “false flag” attack. Inexplicable “intelligence failures”, ignored warnings and delayed responses. Maybe it was a case of “let it happen on purpose” (LIHOP), or maybe they made it happen (MIHOP).
Who knows how far the elite go in stage managing the reality they need to push their plans on the world.
Whatever the truth of this situation, there’s no denying it’s already hard at work pushing a very familiar agenda.

Kit’s out scraping the bottom of the barrel, again. I bet Kit doesn’t mention the West is a Nazi sect?
When i was a boy back home in ireland
my grandad was a hard working man
he had little schooling as always had to help on the farm.
He would talk about how wealthy jews caused the potato famine
and he always said he had seen leprechauns on the bottom plot
and every chance he got it was leprechauns this leprechauns that,
and folk began to avoid him
Eventually he was taken by the mental health people and
we used to go visit alternate sundays.
I was thinking of poor Carl Jones and his Natzis obsession
i can see him going to the same place as grandad.
WE FOUGHT THE WRONG ENEMY
These famous words apply now as much
as when Gen Patton said them at the close of ww 2
Our enemies are not in the Middle East, Iraq China or Russia.
Our enemies are those who insist we have toxic vaccinations
while importing in millions who they say dont need them
Our enemies are those who pour millions of our money
into foreign wars while our own folk sleep on the streets.
Our enemies are those who play with our voting
no one wants labour tory or lib dems, we want real people
proper politicians
Our enemies are those who would take away our food and give us
insects and bugs to eat
Our enemies are those who make us pay for NHS that we paid for every week
out of our earnings, and have to pay again, while migrants coming in get it all for free
Our enemies are those who would tax us when we spend when we save
and when we die, and give it to foreign nationals
Our enemies are those who people trafifc in foreign gangs
who up north rape our kids, do knife crime in the cities
and come before our own
Our enemies are those who would take our kids put them in uniform
and send them to protect the jew, the very people causing the problems.
I seriously doubt the war in the Ukraine was a reaction to internet resistance and non-compliance movement to the globalist Covid Plaindemic and forced-vaxx pogroms. As said since March of 2022, it is parcel of the globalist plot to create the mother of all perils which is the threat of a WWIII in which with all of the manufactured perils, there will be no resistance to handing gobs of basic national powers over to the globalist centralized plutocratic powers under some guise such as the UN.
Pat O Riley: thanks Pat, but I deal in reality, and Nazis are real. I did see a UFO once. It was huge, and lit like the saucer on the ELO album cover… long before the album was produced. 100s saw it over Wrexham, but it was a 200ft wife hot air balloon. Silent, but lit. Strange old world.
@Pat O Riley
I’ve already called a rubber truck for CJ; they’re out and about looking for him.
The ZOG modus operandi: CIA-KGB-Mossad-Hamas creating more coordinated conflict/chaos in nonwhite nations/regions, thus generating hordes of ‘refugees’ who then migrate or are transported by ZOG to Europe/North America/OZ-NZ to supplant whites (Whiteocide) via numbers, murders & miscegenation.
What Was COVID Really About? Triggering A Multi-Trillion Dollar Global Debt Crisis. “Ramping up an Imperialist Strategy”?
https://www.globalresearch.ca/covid-capitalism-friedrich-boris/5785964
The international banking Medusa (the “money power”) which controls the entire globalist corporatocracy has been debt rigging every nation under the for well over 100 years, and we still have not got it. The term ‘debt rigging’ ought to be as common as the terms ‘debt ridden’, ‘banksters’, and ‘corruption’. But it ain’t. The reason is that conservatives just complain. They never really care about causes of problems. Generally, they just want to maintain the status quo, hold on to their possessions, and advance their private interests if they can, while saying to hell with the rest of the world. If they have moral principles and understand that inducing any government or people to take loans which foreseeably will enslave them with interests payments far exceeding any principle or ability to repay it, there is scarce protest from any of them in our political histories.
As for the modern liberals and socialists, I have never really met one with any principles, and I have to conclude that they are equally responsible with the economic conservatives for the present the here & now climate of entitlement, and in the political realm have exhibited absolutely no resistance to deficit financing and all of the bribery and corruption in politics of indebting our governments with the bankster debt rigging loans.
During Covid, all of our institutions were awash with tens of trillions which the banksters ordered be made out of nothing and distributed far and wide, and also to their cronies in large measures, while at the same time they were deliberately depressing the economy, and transferring trillions to themselves in “essential” assets with all of their pump and dump operations. What has occurred is the biggest wealth transfer in human history. The facts are that the residual owners, that 1% we call the “Few”, intend to use their globalist structures and confines for even vaster vistas of financial, economic, social, and political control, above and far beyond what they hold and own now. That is what the Schwab WEF new industrial revolution is really all about. It is ultimate plutocrat power and opportunity. Covid was about top-down controls for globalist advances and globalism itself is all about universal and increased controls by the same Few over virtually everything.
John Perkins, the whistleblower bankster author of “Confessions of an Economic Hitman”, (2004) really was outlining in work was the nefarious methods they used to debt rigg resource-rich developing nations in order to take them over. What is surprising is that while academics, lefties, and moral conservatives were outraged at the corruption and intimidation involved in these practices which he revealed to them, they never put it together that the exact same methods have been used to totally debt rigg our own nations.
My personal view is that with “mens rea” (i.e. the conscious thing) involved in the process, the plutocrats and banksters who made such tremendous advances for themselves by such stealth at our expense, should be stripped of their wealth and their powers. We will need strong national governments backed by the people to be able to do this, and that is another reason the Few and their sociopath minions are anxious to wash everything away with globalism where we will continue to have weak governments which they will totally control and not the people.
The good thing about the big picture is that it’s now a lot easier to have no opinion about anything & to concentrate more on the transcendent idea.
“The Entire Israel/Arab Situation Is All Planned By The Banksters to Turn Everyone Against Each Other and Cause WWIII”
https://vigilante.tv/w/x8uXQsVnsE98BREY7VQbT6
In referring to the globalists, Berwick says, “these people are incredibly ingenious and devious” but he seems to be missing what is really going on. I think Berwick is unwittingly adding to the orchestrated fear porn. The banksters do not want an actual WWIII. They have used their resources to incite wars and hostilities, in order to escalate them to a very controlled “brink” of a seeming inevitable WWIII.*** We notice that they were very very careful not to cause any real harm to their key assets and elements during Covid. They only destroyed those businesses they deemed as “non essential” to further their pre-announced Agendas to regulate our consumption of goods and services. In the Uke war we notice that the pipe lines from Russia through the Ukraine to Europe have gone untouched, but a big splash was made about the alleged destruction of Nord Stream 2.
Everything we see going on is totally contrived despite the loss of lives and destruction. With the wars in the Ukraine (a complete ZOG nation like the US) and with ZOG Israel, the banksters are crating the ultimate fear-porn peril in order for their globalist puppet leaders to take the stage at the precise optimal moment, with the universal compliance of all of our governments, major politicians and political parties, top-corporations, and of course the mainstream media, to make us “safe” from national and religious wars, economic disaster, climate extinction, pandemics, race strife, and migrant invasions. Those who take the stage will be regarded as world saviours in demanding the transfer of vast national powers out of our alleged “irresponsible” reaches over to the centralized global authorities waiting to turn us into their systems. They will promise that all differences and disputes over turf, resources, migration, race, religion, history, science, health, life and death will be resolved and reconciled with the collaboration of our governments, but what as we have seen in the Covid overture to the New World Order top-down controls, is more rule by stealth, fear, despotic fiats and globalist extensions of our kangaroo courts which methods they will totally institutionalize over all of us. These people have proven over and over again to us that not only are they “incredibly ingenious and devious” but they are incredibly evil.
Globalist Bergoglio ( Francis the fake Pope) will be credited with getting both Jews and Muslims to bury their religious hatchets and modify their respective scriptural verses teaching that it is God’s will to behead and cheat all outsiders.
***Perhaps in realizing that we are on to them with their quite obvious escalation efforts, and with their trillion-dollar globalist plans at stake of being exposed and scuttled, they may now be impelled to let a few nukes off, even sacrificing some of the own like in 9/11 and other false flags in order to make the threat convincing.
The AshkeNAZIS are baring it all now in their latest push to genocide the Palestinians and flatten Gaza before beginning their greater war visa vie the Yinon Plan.
All eyes on the Temple Mount…
why is that simple matter recognized by any sane person, as taken to complicated and mysterious? just look at the election campaign of every Western nation that must have/made to have 2 dominant parties, the goal of that campaign is mainly the security of the zionist apartheid state. it’s clear and visible. trying to bring non-Western nations who are able to challenge zionist hegemonic power by using circumstantial proof is a dubious trick.
truth is simple and has clear consistent proof.
@Carl Lewis,
Good on ya Carl,you tell the nazi scumbags like Pat o Riley and Lerch how it is.
