Introduction \u2013 April 7, 2020<\/h1>\n

Such are the mind games being played by the establishment now that one has to ask: is Boris John really as badly ill as we are being told? Or is this all part of a carefully contrived drama to underline the need to comply with the lockdown?<\/h5>\n
After all, governments in the West have repeatedly resorted to staged terror attacks and false flags in the \u201cWar on Terror\u201d so why should Johnson\u2019s sudden decline in health be any different? For all we know this could be part of a deceptive drama to keep us in compliance.<\/h5>\n
The media is as much a part of the machinery used to control us as the government. So what the papers say below is all just subtle variations on the official line.<\/h5>\n
Call me a \u2018conspiracy theorist\u2019 if you like but I just don\u2019t buy the official line on this. We\u2019ve witnessed so many deceptive dramas that have been staged to build support for Western governments\u2019 policies that we should view these reports with some healthy scepticism.<\/h5>\n
How do we know that Boris Johnson\u2019s health is really as bad as we are being told? This is from the same corporate media that have repeatedly lied and deceived us about 9\/11, 7\/11 and the \u201cWar on Terror\u201d. If they can deceive us about something as big and in your face as the World Trade Center collapse then Boris Johnson\u2019s health would be a minor deception in comparison. Ed.<\/h5>\n

The sharp decline in Boris Johnson\u2019s health makes for a series of grave front pages on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Times\u2019 headline reads \u201cPM in intensive care\u201d and reports on sources saying that Johnson needed four litres of oxygen. The papers says this is well below the normal threshold of 15 litres and suggests the prime minister\u2019s case is not as serious as some admitted to ICU.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mirror says \u201cSick Boris faces fight for life\u201d across a picture of a pallid-looking Johnson taken from a government video last week. It agrees that the PM\u2019s illness \u201craises some awkward questions<\/strong><\/span>\u201d <\/a>for the way the country is being run and says cabinet ministers will never be forgiven if they are seen to be scoring points off each other in a fight for a potential succession.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mail also chooses the same image as the Mirror alongside a headline reading \u201cNow stricken Boris taken to intensive care\u201d. It also notes that his pregnant girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, is self-isolating in London and has been unable to see him.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mail reports inside on how \u201cthe crisis over Boris Johnson\u2019s health turned into a full-scale emergency\u201d, with his doctor immediately telling him he had to go to hospital after seeing him struggling for breath on a conference call on Sunday<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun headline says \u201cBoris in intensive care\u201d while the Metro says \u201cPM put in intensive care unit\u201d and the i opts for \u201cPrime minister in intensive care with coronavirus\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Telegraph headline is \u201cJohnson in intensive care\u201d and on the inside pages the paper\u2019s former editor, Charles Moore, is sharply critical<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of comments by the one-time Whitehall mandarin Lord Kerslake, who told the BBC that Johnson would have to \u201creflect on his position\u201d if his illness continued. Citing the example of Winston Churchill, who suffered two bouts of serious illness during the second world war, Moore looks forward to Johnson recovering and says: \u201cI think both Britain and Boris have a stronger constitution than Lord Kerslake allows.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Express, whose headline is \u201cBoris moved to intensive care as health worsens\u201d, highlights in one of its stories a comment by BBC journalist Andrew Neil who posted on Twitter a statistic about the dangers of the virus if you have not recovered after 10 days. The BBC host wrote: \u201cThis virus either gives up and you recover with no damage done or it really decides to go for you and you have a 50:50 chance. The PM\u2019s decision to work through his isolation will not have helped. Nor loneliness in Downing St.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the Financial Times says \u201cJohnson moved to intensive care as persistent symptoms worsen\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
