Socialism = monopolist corporatism

One of the things that marks the satanic nature of the globalist “democratic” agenda, which we must attribute in spades to Keir Starmer as both an avowed supporter of the WEF and a past member of the Trilateral Commission, is the obsessive concealment of its aims from the people, the demos. True, all the unpalatable global aims are on public display on the relevant organisations’ own websites, as I’ve pointed out many times before. But control of the media, both curating the narrative and supplying distractions hedonistic and dystopian, ensures that most people remain in the dark. The real reason for mass immigration, for example – that is covering up an accumulating debt crisis by cheap labour whilst serving some weird anti-racist ideology – must be concealed in every way possible as either morally imperative or non-existent.

Guthrie Govan – my part in his career

Here’s a low-stress piece for a snowy day here in Britain. Looking on YouTube for a particular musician a year or so ago, I found a clip in which he was playing with a guitarist called Guthrie Govan. The guitarist was stonkingly good. In characteristic YouTube fashion the algorithms then kept offering me other clips demonstrating not only his astonishingly brilliant technique, range of styles, and sheer musicality (in these days of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift), but his ability as a teacher. By all accounts he’s a really nice bloke as well.

A parable

In a country very extremely far away, the industrial conurbation called Mamukh had become, in effect, run by an organised crime ring formed by gangsters who fled there from another country, Scilia, when its own authorities clamped down. The corruption ran from top to bottom, and everybody knew it. But nobody knew for certain more than affected their own immediate circle, and nobody dared discuss it because… they knew what affected their own immediate circle. But privately it was suspected that even the Mayor and the Chief of Police were either part of the ring, or at least thoroughly compromised by its bribes or blackmail. Still, there were many not directly affected who fondly imagined that they lived in a free and democratic city.

Clearing my mind on COVID

I’ve been ploughing through an astonishing tour-de-force review of the literature, both academic and popular, on COVID-19 by the economist Martin Sewell, available here from Researchgate.

Seeing through democratic smoke

A former medical colleague was urging me recently to lobby my MP to vote against the Assisted Dying Bill. I’ve done my share of ethical lobbying in the past, even on the same subject, contributing to a series of parliamentary consultations as well as twisting the arm of my representative in the Commons. But I think my friend, like so many well-meaning people, has insufficiently realised how Parliament has, especially since the Blair government, changed from being the place where the common people’s views are represented, to the place where they are kept under control by the illusion of representation.

Anomalous parallels

From an article in Spiked: The Guardian put out a news notification that said, ‘Trump becomes the first convicted criminal to win the White House’.

A profound observation, for Jesus Christ was the first convicted criminal to rule the universe.

Comparative religion in 2024

Guy Fawkes night today! But nowadays nobody believes in Guy Fawkes any more. However, yesterday my daughter related an incident in her village that casts great light on the religious beliefs of the modern British public.

Legacy

Last week I drove 200 miles to the Essex town where I practised as a doctor for thirty years, my first return visit since I retired in 2008. The reason was the funeral of my then junior partner, who sadly died recently.

Well, whadda you know?

Dr John Campbell, one of the more popular documenters of the COVID nonsense since 2020, has done a video on the Shroud of Turin. I’ve mentioned him in the past mainly as a classic example of the phenomenon of helpful explainers of the official COVID narrative gradually coming round to seeing its unscientific awfulness, to the point of seeing it, as many of us do, as a symptom of a totalitarian power grab in the world.

Who should run the world?

An article by Obaid Omer, whom I assume to be a “moderate Muslim,” writes rather bravely in Quillette that the problem we face with Islamic extremism is not “Islamism” but Islam itself.
