Ian Fantom \u2013 April 4, 2020<\/h1>\n

The universal hype and deception across the mainstream media in connection with the CoronaVirus pandemic extends across the Western world. The uninamity is breathtaking. This is not the doings of just one country\u2019s politicians, but it goes right across the \u2018international community\u2019, meaning the English-speaking world and their allies. As George Orwell wrote: \u201cDuring times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act\u201d . We are now in such times.<\/h5>\n
One has to wonder what power could possibly bring all the mainstream media across such an expanse of the globe into line in spreading such morbid fear. The clue to this I think is in the words \u2018the English-speaking world\u2019. The ambition behind any empire is to expand the empire, and the British Empire controlled a quarter of the Earth\u2019s population. Would it be unreasonable to assume that those people, and their successors, would have had ambitions to rule the world? That\u2019s where things were heading before they accused the Kaiser of doing in Belgium what they themselves were doing in many parts of the world.<\/h5>\n
It was a benevolent empire, we were told, spreading Christianity and civilisation to canibals and other natives. Yet the British Empire never was; it was an empire of Crown colonies, and \u2018The Crown\u2019 was a reference to those who were governing The City of London.<\/h5>\n
Of course, The City of London is controlled by giant financial institutions, the most powerful of which have to be those which have the power to create money out of nothing. They then lend this money at interest, and through a series of man-made financial crises put even governments into debt. These are the people who can subsidise wars and subsequently make a killing on the interest owed by nations. That is exactly what is happening with the current CoronaVirus pandemic.<\/h5>\n
Even Socialists get this wrong. George Soros with his billions couldn\u2019t have sent people into my home to take away my property, yet if I owed just \u00a3100, then bailiffs could indeed be sent in. In dividing the world into \u2018workers\u2019 and \u2018capitalists\u2019, the Socialists are ignoring those who have real power: the debt barons.<\/h5>\n
Yet when one makes such a point accusations quickly arise of \u2018antisemitism\u2019, mocking those who espouse such ideas as believeing that \u2018Jews control the world\u2019. Yet their philosophy of Zionism isn\u2019t a Jewish philosophy; it\u2019s a philosophy put out by a Catholic, born and bred, a philosophy which aims to control and exploit Jews, as I showed in my article \u2018Labour\u2019s antisemitism split: Just what the doctor prescribed<\/a><\/span>\u2019. Hitler\u2019s biggest mistake was to be taken in by the Zionist propaganda in believing that \u2018the Jews\u2019 were a race. He started by doing what Theodor Herzl had been trying to get the Kaiser to do , by doing a deal with the Zionists in deporting Jews to Palestine, now a well-known and well-documented fact.<\/h5>\n
In a recent article, \u2018The Crown\u2019s Viral Power Grab<\/span><\/a>\u2019, I brought together evidence that suggests that at the centre of the current storm was a group of companies linked both to military intelligence and to \u2018The Crown\u2019. The signs are legion that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a Crown colony, just as the rest of the Empire was, and problably behind the scenes still is. A parallel was drawn with the Roman occupation of Judea, and the building of a temple under Roman occupation on Mount Zion, which Jesus described as a ‘den of thieves’, and which was enslaving the people with debt. ‘Zionism’ is seen as a continuation of that practice by the debt sharks. In those days, too, the money lenders were exploiting the ordinary people, and Jesus stood up against them. That was his mission.<\/h5>\n
Now there\u2019s talk in Israel of the Messiah saving them from the ravages of COVID-19. Israel\u2019s health minister said, \u201cWe are praying and hoping that <\/span><\/a>Moshiach <\/a><\/em>will arrive before Passover as it is a time of our redemption<\/a><\/span>\u201d. At present many of the Jewish Israelis are being saved by Palestinian nurses.<\/h5>\n
Since I wrote that article evidence has been growing of the fraudulence behind the media hysteria and the government claims of a lethal pandemic that has enabled a state of martial law in many countries. Experts have been speaking out, the UK government has quietly acknowledged that COVID-19 is not a \u2018high consequence infectious disease\u2019, the enabling legislation is likely to last forever, meetings have been systematically closed down first by Zionist factions, now universally. And now I see that Adam Schiff, who led the move to impeach Donald Trump, has tweeted: \u201cAfter Pearl Harbor and 9\/11, we looked at what went wrong to learn from our mistakes. Once we<\/a>‘<\/a>ve recovered, we need a nonpartisan commission to review our response and how we can better prepare for the next pandemic. I\u2019m working on a bill to do that<\/a><\/span>\u201d. What a good idea! That could keep us in a state of ignorance for another twenty years or so, as the 9\/11 Commission did.<\/h5>\n
In this article I put together recent developments, and ask who is really in charge.<\/h5>\n

COVID-19 is no longer a high consequence infectious diseases<\/strong><\/h1>\n
The UK government\u2019s website on high consequence infections diseases was updated on 21 March 2020 with a statement headed \u2018Status of COVID-19<\/a><\/span>\u2019. \u201cAs of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK\u201d, they state. \u201cThe Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID\u201d, they add a little lower down. So what\u2019s all the fuss about?<\/h5>\n
\u201cNow that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase\u201d, they say.<\/h5>\n
Indeed, some of that new knowledge is reported in \u2018The Crown\u2019s Viral Power Grab<\/span><\/a>\u2019. I was writing that up as they were making the announcement. Is it credible that they didn\u2019t have access to that information long before I did?<\/h5>\n
I have just received a text from a medical forum. The author states that he works in the healthcare field, but remains anonymous, because \u201cpresenting any narrative different than the official one can cause you a lot of stress in the toxic environment caused by the scam which surrounds COVID-19 these days\u201d. He states, \u201cThe Mickey Mouse test kits being sent out to hospitals, at best, tell analysts you have some viral DNA in your cells. Which most of us do, most of the time. It may tell you the viral sequence is related to a specific type of virus \u2013 say the huge family of coronavirus. But that\u2019s all. The idea these kits can isolate a specific virus like COVID-19 is nonsense\u201d. Furthermore, they can\u2019t tell you how much of the virus is present. \u201cEveryone will have a few virus kicking round in their system at any time, and most will not cause illness because their quantities are too small\u201d, he states, \u201cAnd coronavirus are incredibly common. A large percentage of the world human population will have covi DNA in them in small quantities even if they are perfectly well or sick with some other pathogen\u201d. That analysis is perfectly compatible with what I described in \u2018The Crown\u2019s Viral Power Grab<\/span><\/a>\u2019.<\/h5>\n
And the governments didn\u2019t know that?<\/h5>\n

Enabling legislation to last for ever<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Coronavirus Act 2020<\/span><\/a> came into effect on 25 March, 2020, yet on 23 March the government texted the population: \u201cGOV.UK CORONAVIRUS ALERT New rules in force now: you must stay at home. More info <\/a>&<\/a><\/span> exemptions at gov.uk\/coronavirus Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives<\/span>.<\/a>\u201d. They were reproached in a report <\/a>by<\/a> the Bingham Centre <\/a><\/span>for the Rule of Law<\/span><\/a>, which stated: \u201cIt is not accurate to state that these new rules are \u2018in force\u2019 now. They will most likely be in force within a few days, but they are not in force now. Trust in Government, in official messages and scientific advice is vital at this time\u201d. That expresses my own sentiment at the time. It reflects the draconian nature of the clamp-down. The same report expresses concern about the lack of opportunity for parliamentary scrutiny of future proposals to extend the period of the legislation.<\/h5>\n
The UK Constitutional Law Association the following day published a paper \u2018Covid-19 and its impact on the constitutional relationship between Government and Parliament<\/span><\/a>\u2019, drawing attention to the Bingham report, and also pointing out that a range of new legislation relating to CoronaVirus had already been passed as Regulations, and that in each case \u201cthe Minister stated that for reasons of urgency it was not possible to lay the Regulations before Parliament prior to signature\u201d. \u201cThis is despite the fact that some of this delegated legislation … create summary offences and require whole swathes of otherwise lawful economic activity to cease\u201d, the paper states.<\/h5>\n
As regards the duration of the Act\u2019s provisions, Section 88 gives \u201ca wide power encroaching upon Parliament\u2019s legislative authority and sovereignty. \u2026 This seems to be necessary in the face of the pandemic but since emergency powers are meant to give the Government a temporary boost, there is no valid reason why Parliament cannot get back in the game and manage the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic when authorities start easing the current lockdown\u201d.<\/h5>\n
I have to wonder how many of those lawyers and politicians were aware of the reclassification of COVID-19 a few days earlier. If that reclassification had taken place after the enacting of the legislation, then surely that would have been legitimate grounds for parliamentary scrutiny regarding the draconian powers introduced, because the situation would have changed.<\/h5>\n

More experts speak out<\/strong><\/h2>\n
However, more medical experts are now speaking out. The Spectator contained an article by Dr John Lee, a recently retired professor of pathology and a former NHS consultant pathologist. It was headed \u2018How to understand \u2013 and report \u2013 figures for \u201cCovid-19 deaths<\/span><\/a>\u201d<\/span>\u2019. He explain why the figures for Covid-19 infections are a vast underestimate, and why Covid-19 deaths are a substantial over-estimate.<\/h5>\n
On 24 March Off-Guardian published a list of twelve experts who were questioning the Coronavirus panic<\/span><\/a>. These included Dr Wolfgang Wodarg, whose analysis I gave in \u2018The Crown\u2019s Viral Power Grab<\/span><\/a>\u2019.<\/h5>\n
John P.A. Ioannidis is professor of medicine and of epidemiology and population health Stanford University, and he has written an opinion piece headed \u2018A fiasco in the making? As the coronavirus pandemic takes hold, we are making decisions without reliable data<\/a><\/span>\u2019, in which he looks at the statistics and concludes, essentially, that we do not have the evidence to distinguish between this flu outbreak and any normal winter flu outbreak. He ends with \u201cIf we decide to jump off the cliff, we need some data to inform us about the rationale of such an action and the chances of landing somewhere safe\u201d. He has given a one-hour video interview<\/a> explaining this point of view.<\/h5>\n
Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi is a professor emeritus of Medical Microbiology, and on 26 March wrote an open letter<\/a> to the German <\/a>Chancellor<\/a><\/span>, Dr. Angela Merkel, calling for an urgent reassessment of the response to Covid-19. He explained his case in a video on 30 March<\/a>.<\/h5>\n
The other nine were cases I hadn\u2019t come across before. One of them, Dr Joel Kettner, was cut off in a radio interview when he went against the orthodoxy<\/span>.<\/a> He had already quoted the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) as saying: \u201cThis is a grave threat and a public enemy number one\u201d. \u201cI have never heard a Director-General of WHO use terms like that\u201d, he told listeners.<\/h5>\n
By April, Europe Reloaded had compiled a further ten cases of experts speaking out<\/span><\/a>. Of particular interest was a statement by Professor Sunetra Gupta, on behalf of the research team at Oxford University who are constructing an epidemiological model for the coronavirus outbreak: \u201cI\u2019m surprised that there has been such unqualified acceptance of the Imperial [College] model\u201d. The Oxford results would mean the country had already acquired substantial herd immunity through the unrecognised spread of covid19 over more than two months.<\/h5>\n
Another quote that caught my eye was by a former Chief Medical Officer of Ontario, Dr Richard Schabas<\/span><\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cBut we also need to be sensible. Quarantine belongs back in the Middle Ages. Save your masks for robbing banks. Stay calm and carry on. Let\u2019s not make our attempted cures worse than the disease\u201d.<\/h5>\n
Both articles acknowledge the work of Swiss Propaganda Research. They have produced a regularly updated page \u2018Facts about Covid-19<\/span>\u2019<\/a>. For 18 March they state: \u201cA new epidemiological study<\/a><\/span> (preprint) concludes that the fatality of Covid19 even in the Chinese city of Wuhan was only 0.04% to 0.12% and thus rather lower<\/em> than that of seasonal flu, which has a mortality rate of about 0.1%\u201d. They suggest that extreme winter fog in Wuhan may have played a causal role in the outbreak of pneumonia, and point out that Northern Italy has the highest levels of air pollution<\/a><\/span> in Europe, and that this air pollution has been greatly reduced by the quarantine.<\/h5>\n
My Keep Talking colleague Nick Kollerstrom has produced some graphs of UK mortality rates. \u2018Breaking News!! UK mortality since CV crisis is 5% BELOW average<\/a><\/span>\u2019, he announces on his website.<\/h5>\n

The COVID information war is on<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A Gallup poll conducted in the US<\/span><\/a> from 13 to 20 March on \u2018Approval Ratings of U.S. Leaders’ and Institutions’ Handling of Response to Coronavirus\u2019 asked \u201cDo you approve or disapprove of the way each of the following is handling the response to the coronavirus in the U.S.?\u201d. Out of nine categories all received a positive approval rating except for one: \u2018The news media\u2019, which gained an approval rating of 44%, and a disapproval rating of 55%. I think the simulation people were right when they thought that there would be \u2018conspiracy theories\u2019 to combat \u2013 except that they never combat \u2018conspiracy theories\u2019 but only \u2018conspiracy theorists\u2019 – people who ask legitimate questions and search for real information \u2013 by calling them names and denigrating them.<\/h5>\n
A typical article written in such a vein about CoronaVirus has appeared in Harpers Bazaar under the title \u2018Exploring the psychology of conspiracy theories \u2013 and why they heighten anxiety: A stunt to destabilise Iran? A Chinese plot to depopulate? Why we fall for fake news and how to debunk dangerous misinformation<\/a><\/span>\u2019. It quotes two well-known \u2018experts in the psychology of conspiracy theories\u2019: Professor Viren Swami and Professor Karen Douglas. Here they again put out the same vacuous psychobabble generalisations that they normally put out, but this time linking them to CoronaVirus. The information war has begun, just as was envisaged by the CoronaVirus Simulation.<\/h5>\n
Even the EU Observer is blaming outsiders: \u201cRussia<\/a>‘<\/a>s top coronavirus fake news stories were about Western plots – a theme also popular in Chinese disinformation. There was little hope of educating people who believed that type of thing, propaganda experts said<\/a><\/span>\u201d.<\/h5>\n
In his Windows on the World series, Mark Windows issued a twenty-minute video \u2018Covid-19: The Computer Pandemic<\/a><\/span>\u2019, in which he interviewed physicist Piers Corbyn, who looks at the Imperial College report on COVID-19, which was the basis for the government\u2019s subsequent reactions. He says that their computer model is based on doubtful data, and yet it was used by the government. He observes that some people at high level seem to be resisting what is going on, and names Donald Trump. He thinks this may be leading to \u201csome sort of conflict at a high level\u201d. I see that the Imperial College\u2019s Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology is funded by the Bill <\/span><\/a>&<\/a><\/span><\/em> Melinda Gates Foundation<\/a><\/span>, which also funded The Pirbright Institute, which was granted a US patent for CoronaVirus a short time before the outbreak in China.<\/h5>\n
In the mainstream media there seemed to be just one solitary voice. Peter Hitchens, who, has a reputation for being outspoken at the Mail, is now speaking out against the COVID-19 hype, with an article \u2018There\u2019s powerful evidence this Great Panic is foolish, yet our freedom is still broken and our economy crippled<\/span><\/a>\u2019.<\/h5>\n
I thought I\u2019d look up columnist Peter Oborne\u2019s take on CoronaVirus, since he seems to have been unusually quiet recently. I quickly found that the Press Gazette had reported \u2018Peter Oborne weekly Daily Mail political column ends as he rounds on political press<\/a><\/span>\u2019. This referred to an article in Open Democracy of October 2019 headed \u2018British journalists have become part of Johnson\u2019s fake news machine<\/a><\/span>\u2019 in which he stated: \u201cIt\u2019s chilling. From the Mail, The Times to the BBC and ITN, everyone is peddling Downing Street\u2019s lies and smears. They\u2019re turning their readers into dupes\u201d.<\/h5>\n
The very morning that I found that information, the BBC announced: \u201cA rapid response unit within the Cabinet Office is working with social media firms to remove fake news and harmful content<\/span><\/a>\u201d. This is so dangerous. The government is also re-launching a campaign called \u2018Don<\/span><\/a>‘<\/a>t Feed the Beast<\/a><\/span>\u2019, urging the public to think carefully about what they share online. All the time they talk as if the main source of fake news was social media, as if the BBC and the rest of the mainstream media were reliable and trusted sources. So are they now going to take down lawyers and medical specialists who speak their minds? Once the genie is out in the mainstream, it\u2019s only a matter of time before they start talking about other deceptions, such as 9\/11,<\/h5>\n
Having just written this I listened to BBC Radio 4\u2019s midday news, and was delighted to hear a former member of the Supreme Court speaking his mind on the current situation. \u201cThe real problem is that when human societies lose their freedom, it’s not usually because tyrants have taken it away. It’s usually because people willingly surrender their freedom in return for protection against some external threat. And the threat is usually a real threat but usually exaggerated. That’s what I fear we are seeing now\u201d, he began. He explained that the tradition of policing in this country is that policement are \u2018citizens in uniform\u2019. \u201cThe police have no power to enforce ministers’ preferences, but only legal regulations which don’t go anything like as far as the government’s guidance\u201d, he explained. He described the behaviour of one police force as \u201cfrankly, disgraceful\u201d. \u201cThis is what a police state is like. It’s a state in which the government can issue orders or express preferences with no legal authority and the police will enforce ministers’ wishes\u201d. Within minutes Peter Hitchins had posted a recording, and then a transcript of the interview under the title \u2018Lord Sumption Speaks against Hysteria-Driven Government Coronavirus Policy<\/span><\/a>\u2019.<\/h5>\n
A historical perspective is given by James Corbett, in a Corbett Report video \u2018Medical Martial Law<\/span><\/a>\u2019, in which he outlines the preparations for martial law on the pretext of a medical emergency since shortly after 9\/11, dealing at some length with the Swine Flu epidemic of 2009. Are such people to be silenced?<\/h5>\n

On closing down meetings<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The second part of our Keep Talking meeting of 5 March 2020 consisted of a discussion on CoronaVirus. It wasn\u2019t very conclusive, but it did turn out to be useful. The first half was taken up with the latest assault on us by the Zionist group \u2018Hope not Hate\u2019. \u201c \u2018HATE\u2019 for short\u201d, I said, to some laughter; their emblem, with \u2018HATE\u2019 in big capital letters was on the screen as I was talking.<\/h5>\n
They had just published what they called an \u2018expos\u00e9\u2019 on Keep Talking, called \u2018Inside Keep Talking<\/a><\/span>\u2019. They had \u2018infiltrated\u2019 our public meetings, and presented everything in a sinister way. If you take out the loaded terms, like \u2018notorious\u2019, etc, and take out all the stuff that has nothing to do with Keep Talking, then it presents Keep Talking in quite a favorable light. In three years of \u2018undercover\u2019 reporting, they found only one case of someone talking about the Holocaust. He was in the audience and you can hear my quiet interventions to get him back on-topic. There\u2019s no good reason why that topic should be taboo, except that there seems to be an extraordinary fanaticism on the part of the Zionists to close down all meetings and individuals who even question any of their assertions on the Holocaust. Even questioning why only Jews are counted in the Holocaust, as if non-Jews don\u2019t matter, can land you in trouble. Their whole case depends on attacking the character of some of the people who attend.<\/h5>\n
In 2006, following my own villification at the AGM of Esperanto Association of Britain, I was saying that they could do this sort of thing to anyone \u2013 and that was long before I had made any connection with Zionism. I was saying, \u201cThey could do it to you for wearing brown shoes\u201d. Of course, many antisemites, mysogenists, Holocaust deniers and Palestinians wear brown shoes, so in retrospect I know I was right. Yet the only thing they had against me after one year of being in their committee was that I was \u2018critical of the committee\u2019 (whatever that means), and the only thing HATE had against me in their report was that I was a \u2018conspiracy theorist\u2019 (whatever that means). I consider that to be a clean bill of health.<\/h5>\n
I did in fact outline draft invitations to HATE and to David Cameron to talk to us on why they want to close us down. But now we\u2019ve all been closed down, because the United Kingdom is a Crown colony, and discussing such things is non of our business.<\/h5>\n

On state assassinations<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Our Keep Talking speaker for the April meeting \u2013 now sadly cancelled \u2013 was to have been Dr David Halpin<\/span><\/a>, a retired surgeon, who had been one of the medical experts who disbelieved what we had been told about the death of Dr David Kelly, the expert on biological warfare, and former head of the Defence Microbiology Division at the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) Porton Down. David Kelly was appointed to the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) in 1991 as one of its chief weapons inspectors in Iraq and led ten of the organisation’. In 2003 he had told a BBC journalist that the 2002 dossier on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, that the prepared dossier had been transformed to make it \u2018sexier\u2019. He was later found dead in the woods, and the authorities claimed it was suicide, a claim said to be impossible by various medical experts.<\/h5>\n
Dr Halpin asks how to get this information out to the public. I think that is very relevant at a time when the world is supposedly struck down by a virus which may well implicate the UK\u2019s biological weapon labs, and at a time when the 9\/11 wars could well escalate into biological warfare.<\/h5>\n
I think the first step is to publicise the forthcoming film \u2018Killing Kelly<\/span><\/a>\u2019, which is being produced by George Galloway. \u201cMurdered by persons intimately connected with that swirl of events in the Iraq War. Kelly claimed in one of his last emails that there, were \u201cmany dark actors milling around\u201d. ‘Killing Kelly’ aims to find out what he meant. To bring the \u2018dark actors\u2019 into the light…\u201d. I don\u2019t know when it will be released under the present circumstances.<\/h5>\n

So who is in charge?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The great investigative journalist and film-maker John Pilger related an anecdote to the Chicago Socialism Conference in 2007<\/span><\/a>:<\/h5>\n
One of my favorite stories about the Cold War concerns a group of Russian journalists who were touring the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by the host for their impressions. \u201cI have to tell you\u201d, said the spokesman, \u201cthat we were astonished to find after reading all the newspapers and watching TV day after day that all the opinions on all the vital issues are the same. To get that result in our country we send journalists to the gulag. We even tear out their fingernails. Here you don\u2019t have to do any of that. What is the secret?<\/h5>\n
He quoted a Czech novelist: \u201cIn dictatorships we are more fortunate that you in the West in one respect. We believe nothing of what we read in the newspapers and nothing of what we watch on television, because we know its propaganda and lies. I like you in the West. We\u2019ve learned to look behind the propaganda and to read between the lines, and like you, we know that the real truth is always subversive\u201d.<\/h5>\n
\u201cWhat is the secret?\u201d, he asked, \u201cIt is a question seldom asked in newsrooms, in media colleges, in journalism journals, and yet the answer to that question is critical to the lives of millions of people. \u2026 Ironically, I began to understand how censorship worked in so-called free societies when I reported from totalitarian societies. …I believe a fifth estate is possible, the product of a people\u2019s movement, that monitors, deconstructs, and counters the corporate media\u201d. That \u2018fifth estate\u2019 has now grown and grown. Much of it identifies as \u2018the truth movement\u2019, but there are other independent voices, too, who speak out. The body of independent voices is growing and becoming more and more influential.<\/h5>\n
I came across John Pilger\u2019s talk the year after he had given it, and was so taken up with this that I commented: \u201cJohn \u2013 your address was so brilliant, that I translated the whole text into Esperanto for the rest of the group to discuss. The Russians know they have to read between the lines; the Brits don\u2019t. Thanks\u201d. The translation later appeared on a Spanish website \u2018The Left and Esperanto<\/span>\u2019<\/a>.<\/h5>\n
\u201cThe BBC is not perfect. But with dangerous fake news about the coronavirus spreading on social media, a trusted public service broadcaster has never been so important\u201d: that was stated in a circular I\u2019ve just received from the campaigning group \u201838 Degrees\u2019, which I used to think was genuine. And so the propaganda goes on, as if all the fake news were coming from social media, and so we should accept uncritically what we are being told coming from official channels.<\/h5>\n
The organisation Reporters Without Borders (RSF) are running a \u2018Tracker 19<\/span><\/a>\u2019 service, described as \u201ca tool made for an unprecedented global crisis. So named in reference not only to Covid-19 but also article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, this project aims to evaluate the pandemic\u2019s impacts on journalism. It will document state censorship and deliberate disinformation, and their impact on the right to reliable news and information. It will also make recommendations on how to defend journalism\u201d. Of course, there\u2019s nothing about fake reporting in the UK\u2019s mainstream media; the UK media use \u2018trusted sources\u2019, which, needless to say, don\u2019t need checking.<\/h5>\n
The virtually ubiquitous deception in the mainstream media throughout the \u2018International Community\u2019 is a good illustration of John Pilger\u2019s point, and it illustrates George Orwell\u2019s 1945 encapsulation: \u201cThe sinister fact about literary censorship in England is that it is largely voluntary\u201d. This was in his intended Preface to Animal Farm<\/a><\/span>, which his publishers took out before publication. In that Preface, he continued:<\/h5>\n
Unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban. Anyone who has lived long in a foreign country will know of instances of sensational items of news \u2014 things which on their own merits would get the big headlines-being kept right out of the British press, not because the Government intervened but because of a general tacit agreement that \u2018it wouldn\u2019t do\u2019 to mention that particular fact. So far as the daily newspapers go, this is easy to understand. The British press is extremely centralised, and most of it is owned by wealthy men who have every motive to be dishonest on certain important topics. But the same kind of veiled censorship also operates in books and periodicals, as well as in plays, films and radio. At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is \u2018not done\u2019 to say it, just as in mid-Victorian times it was \u2018not done\u2019 to mention trousers in the presence of a lady. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals.<\/h5>\n
Now it\u2019s in even fewer hands. We live in an age of universal deception.<\/h5>\n
So who is controlling the mainstream media throughout the \u2018International Community\u2019 \u2013 meaning the countries allied with the English-Speaking world?<\/h5>\n
In 2014 an amazing book appeared in German under the title \u2018Gekaufte Journalisten<\/a><\/span>\u2019 [Bought Journalists]. The author was a journalist from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, known for his Neoconservative views. He had been trained to lie. But then he saw where all this was taking the world \u2013 toward more war. He turned whistleblower. He claims that Germany is a US colony, and that many political journalists are in the pay of the CIA. That is how such uniformity is achieved. Paul Barbara and myself in Keep Talking set about to ensure the book would be translated, and last year Progressive Press in the US surface with an English version, with the title \u2018Presstitutes: Embedded in the Pay of the CIA: A Confession from the Profession<\/a><\/span>\u2019. They had put a substantial investment into this, paying a German translator, so I have felt duty-bound to help with its promotion in the UK. An Esperanto translation is on its way, but since this is not paid for, it is taking rather longer.<\/h5>\n
In an RT interview at the time the author stated that the same sort of thing goes on in other countries, too, and that the worst one is the UK. This CoronaVirus hysteria isn\u2019t just journalistic sensationalism; if it were, some journalists would find even greater sensationalism by reporting the truth, or by telling us that Boris is a lyer. Of course he\u2019s a lyer; you can\u2019t get far in British politics today without being a lyer. All our MPs have to go along with the official story on CoronaVirus, just as they have to on 9\/11 and a number of other taboo topics. But at least Boris makes it obvious he\u2019s lying, and his body language during the CoronaVirus crisis tells me that he knows something. The impetus for martial law isn\u2019t coming from him. He has to do as he\u2019s told. I get the impression that Donald Trump has to do as he\u2019s told, too. With the CIA controlling all of the mainstream media, should we be surprised at the thought that they may be controlling the politicians, too?<\/h5>\n
Who is in charge of the CIA? President Eisenhower in his last speech as President<\/span><\/a> warned of the danger of the \u2018Military Industrial Complex\u2019, as he called it. The CIA is military. The giant corporations will ultimately benefit from the current close-down of much of the West\u2019s economy, because the small companies will be likely to go out of business, whilst the giant corporations take over. This is a consolidation of power. The resulting financial crisis is likely to have the same effect on the banking industry, too. And who could it possibly be that has the power to finance much of the Western world as its industry closes down during the CoronaVirus crisis? Surely that can only be the same corporations that have the ability to finance countries when they go to war. That has to be the institutions that have the power to create money out of absolutely nothing.<\/h5>\n
I think we have to accept that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a Crown colony, and that that understanding has to be key to being able to getting back our liberties. The City of London should either be integrated into the UK, or it should be separated by declaring it an off-shore tax haven and bifurcating the Thames. In practice, no-one should be forced to repay the war loans needed to fight the colonial pandemonium that has arisen through the efforts of those who control much of the \u2018international community\u2019 by means of debt created by loans of money created out of thin air.<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
