First hour news review with Conservative councillor for Westbury-on-Trym and Henleaze Steve Smith: 

Universities say Labour Mayor Marvin Rees has brought public trust in Bristol politics to an all time low – Elected mayor in Bristol ‘harder to hold to account’, researchers find: “There is an over-concentration of power in the hands of a single leader” – The researchers concluded the mayoral model had not improved public trust in local decision-making, a long-standing issue in UK local government. In fact, they found that fewer residents trusted the council to make good decisions or thought they were made in a timely way under the mayoral model, down from 19 per cent and 13 per cent in 2012 to 15 per cent and eight per cent, respectively, in 2018.

Covid-19 BBC Fake News 1: Pediatrics Today: Kawasaki disease and vasculitis associated with immunization [not Covid-19] – Arthur Chang and Shamim Islam. Pediatrics Residency Program and Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, University at Buffalo, State University of New York (SUNY), New York, USA. Abstract The etiology and pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD) remain poorly understood. Among the diverse infectious and environmental factors examined to be triggers for, or be associated with, KD, are immunizations. In this report, We first describe the case of a Caucasian girl who presented with classic KD shortly after receiving her routine 4 months vaccination series. Prior published case reports and large epidemiological studies, which explore potential associations between immunization and KD and other vasculitides, are then comprehensively reviewed. The methodologic challenges that complicate analysis in this area are also considered…

Religious Jews get ‘opt-out’ from today’s new UK ‘organ-snatching’ law. Chief Rabbi welcomes new provision for Jewish organ donors – Addition to Organ Donation Act,, which changes system from “opt-in” to “opt-out” in England, means halachic considerations will be taken into account and families consulted – The Chief Rabbi and Board of Deputies have warmly welcomed a remarkable caveat to the Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Act, which came into effect this week…  Israeli mastermind behind organ trafficking ring is arrested in Cyprus – Poor people from Eastern Europe, Russia, Central Asia and Turkey were paid thousands of euros for their kidneys. A prosecutor said they were left without proper medical care and were treated “like waste.”  – 

NYT Finds ‘Disproportionate Role’ of Israelis in World Organ Trafficking. NYT identifies six patients who underwent kidney transplants in Costa Rica and three Israeli men it says are involved in trafficking. – A report Sunday in the New York Times sheds light on the role of Israelis in international organ trafficking. Through the story of Ophira Dorin, a 36-year-old Israeli woman, the report demonstrates how easy it is to illegally buy a kidney in Israel. New Details Emerge on Organ Trafficking Ring Between Israel and Costa Rica – Israeli Suspected of Luring Women Into Organ Traffic Ring – Report: Israeli Suspected of Running Ukraine Organ Trafficking Ring – Five Israelis Charged With Organ Trafficking – Costa Rican authorities announced last year that they had uncovered an international organ trafficking ring that specialized in selling kidneys to Israeli and eastern European patients. The Times said it was able to identify 11 patients – six of them Israelis – who underwent kidney transplants in San Jose, as well as two other Israelis who arrived to the Costa Rican capital with donors for procedures they said would not have been approved back home. The report puts Dr. Francisco Mora Palma, head of nephrology at the large Calderon Guardia Hospital in San Jose, at the center of the operation in Costa Rica…

Covid-19 BBC Fake News 2: Triple-drug combo of anti-malaria pill hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and ZINC improved coronavirus patients’ chances of being discharged and cut death risk by almost 50%, study finds – Researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine looked at 932 coronavirus patients hospitalized between March 2 and April 5 – Half were given a combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc sulfate and the other half did not receive zinc – Patients receiving the triple drug combination were 1.5 times more likely to recover enough to be discharged and 44% less likely to die – The team believes hydroxychloroquine helps zinc, which has antiviral properties, get into infected cells

Labour Purges Bristol University’s ‘Spinwatch’ editor, Prof. David Miller and other Israel lobby critics – The UK Labour Party has launched a new purge of the left and the Palestine solidarity movement still remaining in its ranks. A noted academic expert on the Israel lobby and two leading members of a Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) branch were among those whose party membership was suspended on Monday. Professor David Miller of Bristol University, as well as Becky Massey and Pam Page of Brighton PSC all received letters from the party within hours of each other, they told The Electronic Intifada. Along with the summary expulsion of another local member in October, the suspensions seem to add up to an attack on Brighton PSC – one of the UK’s most active branches of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. The new purge commenced only hours after Labour’s new right-wing leader Keir Starmer held a virtual meeting with the leadership of the Jewish Labour Movement, a pro-Israel lobby within the party. A sociologist, Miller is an expert on the propaganda operations of state and corporate lobbies. He has documented the methods and history of the pro-Israel lobby for years. “This latest round of suspensions continues the targeted harassment of socialist members,” Miller told The Electronic Intifada. A book Miller co-wrote about Labourwas censored during the party’s conference last year, after Israel lobby pressure. Under the guise of Labour’s “anti-Semitism crisis,” the party bureaucracy has accelerated this trend in recent months under the new right-wing leadership. But it is merely a continuation of asimilar policy under Jennie Formby, theoutgoing pro-Corbyn general secretary, Miller said. He argued that the suspensions were designed to target members who understand the racism of Zionism, “which is very obviously incompatible with membership of the Labour Party.”..

Number of benefit claims soars by 69% as it rises by 856,500 to 2.1MILLION after lockdown – despite furlough scheme that kept millions in work.  Unemployment figures show a rise of 50,000 people in three months to March – Estimates for April show number of paid employees fell 1.6 per cent from March – New report by the Resolution Foundation finds younger people facing pay cuts = The report also warns older workers face risk of being made involuntary retired – The number of people claiming benefits has soared by a record 856,500 to 2.1million in the first full month of the coronavirus lockdown – despite the furlough scheme keeping millions in work. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said that claims under Universal Credit sky-rocketed by 69 per cent in April, as the country begins easing out of the draconian lockdown measures imposed in late-March. Today’s newly released figures also revealed that unemployment jumped by 50,000 to 1.35 million in the three months to March. The dire numbers come despite Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s job retention scheme that currently has 7.5 million people on furlough in efforts to prop up the economy during the pandemic. Without the scheme, designed to help employers keep staff during the crisis, the benefits claims would likely be significantly higher. Thousands of people have started making their way back to work this week after the Prime Minister eased lockdown restrictions last Sunday. Mr Johnson emphasised last week he wants to kickstart the economy and get back to work, after dire forecasts last week that saw the economy shrink by 2 per cent. It also announced that early estimates for April 2020 indicate that the number of paid employees fell by 1.6 per compared to March, as firms began to feel a greater impact from the lockdown…

Brexit warning: EU’s ‘nonsense’ demands may force UK to seek extension at ‘crunch point – ‘THE EUROPEAN UNION’s “unprecedented” arguments in Brexit negotiations are increasing the likelihood of an extension. THE EUROPEAN UNION’s “unprecedented” arguments in Brexit negotiations are increasing the likelihood of an extension being a “sensible” option, the former governor of the Bank of England has warned. Brexit talks are on the verge of collapse after rows have broken out over each party’s red lines between UK Chief Negotiator David Frost and his EU counterpart Michel Barnier. The UK has six weeks until a legally binding deadline ruling out an extension to the transition period. Lord Mervyn King, the former governor of the Bank of England, suggested to LBC that an extension may be more likely as the coronavirus crisis goes on. He said the EU’s arguments don’t “make a great deal of sense”. He said: “So far it seems that there is an understandable disagreement between the UK and the European Union. “The UK voted to leave the EU and one of the reasons was so the UK could then decide its own regulations that would apply to our economy. “The European Union is arguing that even though we will leave the EU, we should still follow their rules and regulations in order to have a free trade agreement. “That is unprecedented, there is no real parallel for that.”…

Second hour Investigative reports:  

NPC: China moves to impose controversial Hong Kong security law – China’s ruling Communist Party has set in motion a controversial national security law for Hong Kong, a move seen as a major blow to the city’s freedoms. The law to ban “treason, secession, sedition and subversion” could bypass Hong Kong’s lawmakers. Critics say Beijing is breaking its promise to allow Hong Kong freedoms not seen elsewhere in China. Pro-democracy activists have called for mass protests against what they see erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. Anger was already apparent on Friday, as a group of protesters descended on China’s Liaison Office in Hong Kong…

Pompeo Lays Out the Case For Cold War II With China – ‘The regime is ideologically and politically hostile to free nations.’ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed China as “hostile to free nations,” portraying Beijing as fundamentally opposed to the United States, on Wednesday. Tensions between the United States and China have reached a fever pitch during the coronavirus pandemic. Pompeo’s speech at a Wednesday morning press conference laid out a vision of a global clash between two fundamentally different societies. “China’s been ruled by a brutal, authoritarian regime, a communist regime since 1949,” he said. “We greatly underestimated the degree to which Beijing is ideologically and politically hostile to free nations. The whole world is waking up to that fact.” He added that a focus on the coronavirus pandemic “risks missing the bigger picture of the challenge that’s presented by the Chinese Communist Party.”..

How US empire undermines criminal justice in ‘puppet regimes’: phone calls between Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Ukraine’s Poroshenko leaked; Details $1 Billion “quid pro quo” to fire Burisma prosecutor –  Leaked phone calls between Joe Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko explicitly detail the quid-pro-quo arrangement to fire former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin – who Poroshenko admits did nothing wrong – in exchange for $1 billion in US loan guarantees (which Biden openly bragged about in January, 2018). The calls were leaked by Ukrainian MP Andrii Derkach, who says the recordings of “voices similar to Poroshenko and Biden” were given to him by investigative journalists who claim Poroshenko made them. Shokin was notably investigating Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company that hired Biden’s son, Hunter, to sit on its board. Shokin had opened a case against Burisma’s founder, Mykola Zlochevsky, who granted Burisma permits to drill for oil and gas in Ukraine while he was Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources. In January, 2019, Shokin stated in a deposition that there were five criminal cases against Zlochevesky, including money laundering, corruption, illegal funds transfers, and profiteering through shell corporations while he was a sitting minister. The leaked calls begin on December 3, 2015, when former Secretary of State John Kerry starts laying out the case to fire Shokin – who he says “blocked the cleanup of the Prosecutor Generals’ Office,” and sated that Biden “is very concerned about it,” to which Poroshenko replies that the newly reorganized prosecutor general’s office (NABU) won’t be able to pursue corruption charges, and that it may be difficult to fire Shokin without cause. Later in the leaked audio on February 18, 2016 – less than three months after the Kerry conversation – Poroshenko delivers some “positive news.” “Yesterday I met with General Prosecutor Shokin,” says Poroshenko. And despite of the fact that we didn’t have any corruption charges, we don’t have any information about him doing something wrong, I specially asked him – no, it was day before yesterday – I specially asked him to resign. In, uh, as his, uh, position as a state person. And despite of the fact that he has a support in the power. And as a finish of my meeting with him, he promised to give me the statement on resignation. And one hour ago he bring me the written statement of his resignation. And this is my second step for keeping my promises.”..

CRISPR Dr Mengele Gene Editors Making A Mess Of ‘Playing God’ 1: Latest ‘Smart Vaccines’: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) -> The CRISPR Baby Scandal Gets Worse by the Day – The alleged creation of the world’s first gene-edited humans was full of technical errors and ethical blunders. Here are the 15 most damning details. Before last week, few people had heard the name He Jiankui. But on November 25, the young Chinese researcher became the center of a global firestorm when it emerged that he had allegedly made the first crispr-edited babies, twin girls named Lulu and Nana. Antonio Regalado broke the story for MIT Technology Review, and He himself described the experiment at an international gene-editing summit in Hong Kong. After his talk, He revealed that another early pregnancy is under way. It is still unclear if He did what he claims to have done. Nonetheless, the reaction was swift and negative. The crispr pioneer Jennifer Doudna says she was “horrified,” NIH Director Francis Collins said the experiment was “profoundly disturbing,” and even Julian Savulescu, an ethicist who has described gene-editing research as “a moral necessity,” described He’s work as “monstrous.”

CRISPR Dr Mengele Gene Editors Making A Mess Of ‘Playing God’ 2: Potential DNA Damage from CRISPR “Seriously Underestimated,” Study Finds Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) – A flurry of recent findings highlight a contentious question in this area. From the earliest days of the CRISPR-Cas9 era, scientists have known that the first step in how it edits genomes—snipping DNA—creates an unholy mess: Cellular repairmen frantically try to fix the cuts by throwing random chunks of DNA into the breach and deleting other random bits. Research published on Monday suggests that’s only the tip of a Titanic-sized iceberg: CRISPR-Cas9 can cause significantly greater genetic havoc than experts thought, the study concludes, perhaps enough to threaten the health of patients who would one day receive CRISPR-based therapy. The results come hard on the heels of two studies that identified a related issue: Some CRISPR’d cells might be missing a key anti-cancer mechanism and therefore be able to initiate tumors. The DNA damage found in the new study included deletions of thousands of DNA bases, including at spots far from the edit. Some of the deletions can silence genes that should be active and activate genes that should be silent, including cancer-causing genes…

Censored by Terrorism Complicit YouTube 1 – CENSORED Prof Dolores Cahill Debunking the Narrative

Censored by Terrorism Complicit YouTube 2 – CENSORED Professor Knut Wittkowski II Journeyman Pictures – another interview with the prof. still available on youtube Okay. If we had herd immunity now, there couldn’t be a second wave in autumn. Herd immunity lasts for a couple of years, typically, and that’s why the last SARS epidemic we had in 2003, it lasted 15 years for enough people to become susceptible again so that a new epidemic could spread of a related virus. Because typically, there is something that requires cross-immunity, so if you were exposed to one of the SARS viruses, you are less likely to fall ill with another SARS virus. So, if we had herd immunity, we wouldn’t have a second wave. However, if we are preventing herd immunity from developing, it is almost guaranteed that we have a second wave as soon as either we stop the social distancing or the climate changes with winter coming or something like that.

Presstitutes Embedded in the Pay of the CIA : A Confession from the Profession – The eagerly awaited English edition of “Bought Journalists” was suppressed for three years under the title “Journalists for Hire”– and still got 24 five-star-only Amazon reviews from would-be readers. 18 months on the bestseller list in Germany. Now it’s finally here! Ever get the feeling the media tries to manipulate or lie to you? You have plenty of company! And you are right — the facts are in. A world-class media insider has blown the whistle on what really goes on inside the media industry. Author Udo Ulfkotte was a respected journalist for 17 years with Germany’s newspaper of record, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He begins this explosive exposé by first owning up to his own career, where he had to sell out to have the job. He then reveals the deceptive tricks and secret networks of power within the media. How perks are used to bribe journalists and opinion makers to twist their reporting. How the tone of corruption is set from the top — play along or quit. How the long arm of the NATO press office enrols the media to get Europe to support more foreign wars. The elite owners of the media feel it’s their right to think for us, and to mould public opinion to their agendas. Their Freedom of the Press is Freedom to Censor the news. Our nation depends on the media to understand our world, just as each one of us depends on our eyes and ears. The media are our senses. When they hide the truth, or lie to us, they put us all in danger. A million people died in Iraq, Libya and Syria because the press didn’t just report the news, didn’t just lie about the news, but they invented and sold the events that served as pretexts for wars. The author spent years in the Middle East, surviving an attack with chemical weapons supplied by US and German firms. This book is a veteran’s guide to the media spider’s web. It shows how the system works, sharpens your common sense scepticism, and increases your immunity to the controlled media’s attempts to do our thinking for us.

THE BLACK SUN HISTORICAL TRUTH · by Arith Harger We have all heard about the Black Sun Symbol. Is it really a pagan symbol? Or a Contemporanean fabrication?

Trinity: The Treachery and Pursuit of the Most Dangerous Spy in History – Atom spy Klaus Fuchs – By Frank Close. ‘Everything about this story is astounding’ Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times – “Trinity” was the codename for the test explosion of the atomic bomb in New Mexico on 16 July 1945. Trinity is now also the extraordinary story of the bomb’s metaphorical father, Rudolf Peierls; his intellectual son, the atomic spy, Klaus Fuchs, and the ghosts of the security services in Britain, the USA and USSR. Against the background of pre-war Nazi Germany, the Second World War and the following Cold War, the book traces how Peierls brought Fuchs into his family and his laboratory, only to be betrayed. It describes in unprecedented detail how Fuchs became a spy, his motivations and the information he passed to his Soviet contacts, both in the UK and after he went with Peierls to join the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in 1944. Frank Close is himself a distinguished nuclear physicist: uniquely, the book explains the science as well as the spying. Fuchs returned to Britain in August 1946 still undetected and became central to the UK’s independent effort to develop nuclear weapons. Close describes the febrile atmosphere at Harwell, the nuclear physics laboratory near Oxford, where many of the key players were quartered, and the charged relationships which developed there. He uncovers fresh evidence about the role of the crucial VENONA signals decryptions, and shows how, despite mistakes made by both MI5 and the FBI, the net gradually closed around Fuchs, building an intolerable pressure which finally cracked him. The Soviet Union exploded its first nuclear device in August 1949, far earlier than the US or UK expected. In 1951, the US Congressional Committee on Atomic Espionage concluded, ‘Fuchs alone has influenced the safety of more people and accomplished greater damage than any other spy not only in the history of the United States, but in the history of nations’. This book is the most comprehensive account yet published of these events, and of the tragic figure at their centre…

Reich of the Black Sun : Nazi Secret Weapons & the Cold War Allied Legend : [video presentation by author Joseph Farrell] – Why were the Allies worried about an atom bomb attack by the Germans in 1944? Why did the Soviets threaten to use poison gas against the Germans? Why did Hitler in 1945 insist that holding Prague could win the war for the Third Reich? Why did US General George Patton’s Third Army race for the Skoda works at Pilsen in Czechoslovakia instead of Berlin? Why did the US Army not test the uranium atom bomb it dropped on Hiroshima? Why did the Luftwaffe fly a non-stop round trip mission to within twenty miles of New York City in 1944? This book takes the reader on a scientific-historical journey in order to answer these questions. Arguing that Nazi Germany actually won the race for the atom bomb in late 1944, the book then goes on to explore the even more secretive research the Nazis were conducting into the occult, alternative physics and new energy sources. The book concludes with a fresh look at the Nazi Legend of the UFO mystery by examining the Roswell Majestic-12 documents and the Kecksburg crash in the light of parallels with some of the super-secret black projects being run by the SS. This book is must-reading for the researcher interested in alternative history, science, or UFOs.

THE WAR ON CHRISTIANITY, PART II: THE ABOMINATION AND BLASPHEMY OF CHRISTIAN ZIONISM by James Perloff. (Note: For those who would prefer to read this post in hard copy, it is Chapter Ten of my book Thirteen Pieces of the Jigsaw.) Foreword: This post is long. It is long because Christian Zionism is based on a multitude of lies. The bigger the onion, the more the layers we are forced to peel off. I should also note that my paternal ancestors were Russian Jews (see photo below, taken about 1900). My great-grandfather’s name was Abraham Perlovsky. People who criticize Zionism are frequently accused of being motivated by anti-Semitism. As I’m half-Jewish myself, let me be clear that no such feelings impel me. I am unequivocally opposed to racism in any form. Part 1 of this series explored how the Rockefellers were instrumental in orchestrating the Modernist movement, assaulting every fundamental doctrine of Christianity, for the long-range ecumenical purpose of absorbing it into a one-world religion. The Fundamentalist movement rejected Modernism, intending to stand by the faith’s original tenets.  Unfortunately, as we will now see, Fundamentalism was itself infiltrated and hijacked, consistent with the Rothschild strategy of funding both sides of wars. Fundamentalist churches were targeted to enlist their support for the Zionist agenda. The two principal agents in this scheme were John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) and Cyrus Scofield (1843-1921). What Darby planted, Scofield watered and disseminated. The theology they developed served the agenda by making several claims: • God wanted the Jews to return to, and take over, Palestine. • God has two plans of salvation—one through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the other a guarantee reserved for Jews, his “Chosen People.” • Christians should not involve themselves in politics, education, business or the arts, as these are “worldly” matters that should be left in the hands of “worldly” people. (The consequences of this doctrine are very visible in American culture today.) • God deals with mankind differently during different historical time frames or “dispensations,” of which there are seven. The current one, “Grace” under Jesus Christ, is merely the sixth of the seven dispensations. • The Christian Church is doomed to inevitable failure, which will bring the Dispensation of Grace to a close. • The end of this dispensational age will be marked by the Tribulation—worldwide persecution under the Antichrist for a period of seven years; however, Christians need not concern themselves with this, since Jesus will “Rapture” believers off the Earth and they won’t be around to experience it. • Earth will then experience a Jewish era; Jewish ritualistic animal sacrifices will be reinstituted; Jesus will reign for a thousand years from Solomon’s rebuilt temple in Jerusalem…

“Population control as a substitute to war is the progeny of the bipolar world order that followed World War II. Killing Us Softly: The Global Depopulation Policy – by Kevin Galalae – Our progressive philosophy calls for more freedom and more prosperity for more people. Yet author Kevin Galalae says you can’t always have more. Overpopulation is making us victims of our own triumphs over nature. Lacking a popular consensus to control population, the ruling elite have resorted to covert means. Their depopulation project has had considerable success, but at a terrible cost. “Strict secrecy and deception have been necessary to prevent the masses from discovering the bitter truth that for the past 68 years they have been the object of a silent and global offensive, a campaign of attrition that has turned the basic elements of life into weapons of mass infertility and selective death.” “The birth of nearly two billion people has been prevented and the death of half a billion hurried. While these goals have been intentional, the architects of the Global Depopulation Policy have unintentionally undermined the genetic and intellectual endowment of the human species and have set back eons of natural selection.” We are adding a billion people every 10 – 15 years, while consumption per person has skyrocketed – placing unsustainable demands on resources like water and fuel. The only decent alternative is voluntary population control to reduce world population. Here are the methods actually being used. – Contraception and abortion. Chemical sterilization: Flouridation, BPA-contaminated plastic and metal food packaging. Drawbacks: increase in chronic illnesses and lowering of IQ will lead to massive degeneracy in a couple generations. – The coercive one child policy — overall a success story for China; surgical sterilization in India. – Biological: synthetic HIV virus in Africa, flu viruses, GMO crops. Lowering human fertility, while weakening the immune system to increase mortality. – Psychosocial: weakening the family, forcing women to work, high divorce rates, youth unemployment, countercultures, drug, tobacco and alcohol abuse, incarceration, accelerated urbanization. Successful in Europe where population has started to shrink. Political drawbacks: a secret state conducting genocide against its own people; sham democracy; a culture of deception. Endangering the gene pool and the ecosystem. Even so, it is more humane than the alternative of another world war to reduce numbers. Social costs: economic decline, collapse of social safety nets. Sustainable development policies don’t mention the risks of covert sterilization that underpin them. “Population control as a substitute to war is the progeny of the bipolar world order that followed World War II … they agreed to wage a demographic war on their own people, and on those within their spheres of influence, rather than risk their mutually assured destruction in a nuclear confrontation.” The way forward: broad popular understanding of the issues. Yet politicians don’t want to open up to a policy based on popular consensus, because that would undermine their power, which is based on manipulation. Aside from his writings, the author’s efforts to awaken the world have included hunger strikes, imprisonment and legal battles.

First hour news review with Lib Dem Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Bristol West James Cox

Labour’s proposals a ‘debt bomb’ for Bristol renters – Labour’s proposed policy of deferring rent payments has been criticised for unfairly punishing renters and creating new debt.  Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire today announced her first policy as Shadow Housing Secretary to lobby the government to implement a system whereby tenants who fall into rent arrears during the COVID-19 crisis will have to pay back the debt in full on top of their monthly rent payments.  Ms Debbonaire’s comments that the arrears will be “small” has attracted much criticism from renters as “out of touch” with the economic situation currently being faced by renters. The plan has been widely criticised on social media including by Labour members and housing rights group ACORN Bristol.  Bristol has one of the UK’s largest rental markets with 58,000 households (29%) in private rented accommodation and 36,000 households (18%) in social rented housing. Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Bristol West James Cox said: “What both Labour’s proposals and the Conservative’s policy on renters have in common is a complete lack of awareness of just how bad the economic picture is and how much worse it is likely to get. “Labour’s proposals are nothing short of a debt bomb for Bristol renters. This policy would put thousands of renters into arrears add to the financial uncertainty being faced. Sadly Ms Debbonaire seems more concerned with protecting landlords during this crisis than tenants in our city. “Homeowners have rightly been given the option of a mortgage holiday during this crisis. It is vital that rather than pushing renters into further arrears that we encourage the government to offer more comprehensive support to those privately renting, including expanding housing benefit or implementing a rent holiday for the duration of this crisis.”

Nightingale hospitals largely empty as NHS weathers the storm – Facilities were launched with a fanfare but medics complain they lack equipment for complex Covid-19 cases – Temporary hospitals set up around the UK to handle the surge in coronavirus cases are almost empty, with at least one of the hastily constructed facilities expecting never to open its doors as the NHS weathers the crisis better than many had feared. Seven Nightingale hospitals — named after the pioneering Victorian nurse — have been erected at unprecedented speed across England in recent weeks, with logistical support from members of Britain’s military. Similar facilities have also recently opened in Scotland and Wales. But the majority have only taken a handful of patients. NHS leaders reject any suggestion that they have become “white elephants”, casting the dearth of coronavirus sufferers at the Nightingales as a mark of how well the health service prepared for the biggest public health emergency in a century. The UK has avoided the wrenching scenes in Italy where dying patients were treated in corridors after some hospitals ran out of beds….

A bigger issue than Professor Ferguson’s private life is the accuracy of his model. When applied to the Swedish policy it forecast 40,000 deaths by now, over 15 times the reality.

WORLDOMETER PANDEMIC STATISTICS: Reported Cases and Deaths by Country, Territory, or Conveyance – The coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 213 countries and territories around the world and 2 international conveyances. The day is reset after midnight GMT+0. The list of countries and territories and their continental regional classification is based on the United Nations Geoscheme.

Neil Ferguson: Coronavirus response adviser’s previous epidemic mistakes revealed PROFESSOR Neil Ferguson, the Government’s senior coronavirus science adviser, yesterday resigned after flouting his own advised lockdown rules – but it is not the first time the epidemiologist has made a serious blunder as adviser, with several other epidemics having been blown out of proportion through his work. Yesterday evening Professor Neil Ferguson, one of the Government’s most senior coronavirus science advisers and member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) resigned. It came after the Daily Telegraph revealed how the epidemiologist had broken his own lockdown rules by meeting with his married lover at his London flat. Prof Ferguson’s prediction models prompted Prime Minister Boris Johnson to enforce the current lockdown towards the end of March. His modelling of the virus’ transmission suggested 250,000 people could die without drastic action. As it stands, nearly 30,000 people have died from coronavirus, with a further 200,000 confirmed cases. Many credit Prof Ferguson’s initial 250,000 deaths figure and subsequent lockdown as having prevented further catastrophe. However, attention has been drawn to his previously botched predictions concerning epidemics and virus outbreaks of the past. For example, in 2001, he and his team at Imperial College produced prediction modelling on the UK’s foot and mouth outbreak. Their work suggested animals in neighbouring farms should be culled, even if there was no evidence of infection. Government policy soon took on board the modelling, leading to the subsequent culling of more than six million cattle, sheep, and pigs – a cost to the UK economy that totalled some £10billion. Michael Thrusfield, professor of veterinary epidemiology at Edinburgh University, later claimed the model was “severely flawed” and the event a “serious error”. Fast forward to 2002, Prof Ferguson predicted between 50 and 50,000 people would likely die as a result of exposure to mad cow disease (BSE) in beef. He said the number could rise to 150,000 should there be an outbreak among sheep – there have since only been 177 deaths from BSE.

‘Life-saving’ ventilators are destroying coronavirus patients’ lungs, doctor says [video]. Dr Cameron Kyle-Sidell, who was treating critically ill coronavirus patients at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, says “Covid-19 is not a pneumonia and should not be treated as one”. An American doctor says ventilators are doing more harm than good and damaging the lungs of coronavirus patients based on how they’re currently being used. Medics in the UK and around the world have been using the breathing machines, which pump the lungs to send oxygen into the bodies, as a vital tool to keep critically ill patients alive. But Dr Cameron Kyle-Sidell, who was treating Covid-19 patients in New York, said high pressure is inadvertently causing harm and his beliefs have led him to step down from his position in an intensive care unit. In a YouTube video, he says: “I fear this misguided treatment will lead to a tremendous amount of harm in a very short time. Covid-19 is not a pneumonia and should not be treated as one.” He has said that Covid-19 lung disease “is not a pneumonia” but appears to be “some kind of viral-induced disease most resembling high altitude sickness”. He added: “It is as if tens of thousands of my fellow New Yorkers are on a plane at 30,000 feet and the cabin pressure is slowly being let out. “These patients are slowly being starved of oxygen… and while they look like patients absolutely on the brink of death, they do not look like patients dying of pneumonia.” The danger, he said, lies in the amount of pressure used to open the lungs, and he believes ventilators should be programmed “differently” for patients with coronavirus…

Trade Deal Must Be Delayed! Brexit trade negotiations leave Germany furious as Merkel ally lashes out at UK tactics. ONE of Angela Merkel’s closest allies has launched a scathing attack on the UK over its refusal to extend the Brexit transition period, with Germany warning Britain it can not continue to move away from key points in the agreed political declaration. Britain and the European Union began post-Brexit talks on a free trade agreement in March after the country’s departure from the bloc was finally made official on January 31. But negotiations have already got off to a turbulent start, with significant distance separating the two sides on several key areas. The UK has until June 30 to request an extension from the EU for thew transition period beyond December 31. But despite the coronavirus pandemic sweeping throughout Europe, Boris Johnson still wants a full free trade agreement struck before that deadline. He has even threatened to walk away from the negotiating table if sufficient progress has not been made over the coming weeks. This stance has left the EU furious, with senior figureheads, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, openly critical of the UK negotiation strategy. Germany is becoming increasingly fearful of a disastrous hard Brexit, and Foreign Minister Heiko Mass said without an agreement on the future relationship between the UK and EU, it would be a “journey into the unknown”…

Second hour Investigative reports:

Trump says uninterested in talking to Xi, could sever China ties. US President Donald Trump says he is not interested in talking with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in what seems to be a further degeneration of Washington-Beijing ties amid the coronavirus pandemic. Speaking in an interview with Fox Business Network broadcast on Thursday, Trump said that he might even decide to sever relations between the two countries. Trump, who has repeatedly accused China of failing to contain the highly contagious disease, said Beijing’s failure had cast a pall over his January trade deal with the world’s second largest economy. “They should have never let this happen,” Trump said. “So I make a great trade deal and now I say this doesn’t feel the same to me. The ink was barely dry and the plague came over. And it doesn’t feel the same to me.” “I just – right now I don’t want to speak to him,” Trump said in the interview taped on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Li Yong, deputy chairman of the Expert Committee of the China Association of International Trade, said that “(China) still hopes that economic and trade issues will not be politicized because that is not good for either side.” “The hope is that both sides will resolve the challenges through communication rather than finger pointing,” Yong said. When Trump was asked about a Republican senator’s suggestion that US visas be denied to Chinese students seeking to study in fields related to national security, he said, “There are many things we could do. We could do things. We could cut off the whole relationship.”

World Spent $73 Billion on Nuclear Weapons in 2019; US Spent Half of That. Pandemic may force a rethink of priorities for costly arms. A new ICAN report shows that in 2019, the world spent about $73 billion on nuclear weapons. The US spent roughly half of that by themselves, at over $35 billion. This is an increase of over $7 billion from 2018. With focus shifting to the coronavirus pandemic, spending billions of dollars on nuclear weapons likely is going to make less and less sense going forward, with nations all having budget consequences from the pandemic. The expectation, with the US and Russia not likely to extend New START, was that there would be increased spending going forward. Budget deficits are likely to force a rethink, on the futility of buying expensive nuclear arms. No nuclear weapons use in generations means this money is going into a black hole, and US talk of making low-yield nukes with more utility seem unrealistic. This means billions that could be better spent on almost anything, and in the Covid-19 era, no shortage of things to spend it on…

The Faux Generosity of the Super-Wealthy: Why Bill Gates is a Menace to Society – If Gates represents a net negative force in world politics, why does he receive such good press? For starters, he makes sizeable donations to a host of mainstream corporate media outlets.  by Alan Macleod Last month Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates surpassed Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to once again become the world’s richest individual, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Buoyed by an enormous 48 percent increase in Microsoft’s share price this year, Gates has retaken the title he last held in 2017. That outcome is partially owed to the whims of Donald J. Trump. Microsoft recently surprisingly defeated Amazon’s bid for an extremely lucrative $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract that sees the company instantly become one of the world’s most important military and security contractors. This decision, Amazon alleges, was due to interference from the president who holds a personal grudge against Bezos, whose Washington Post has maintained a campaign of “resistance” against him. Gates was also recently in the news attacking the wealth tax that Democratic presidential nomination candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have proposed. “I’m all for super-progressive tax systems but when you say I should pay $100 billion, then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over,” the Seattle native said. (For the record, he would still have over $6 billion)…

Bill Gates Partners With DARPA & Department of Defense For New DNA Nanotech COVID19 Vaccine! [VIDEO] In this powerful interview, Spiro is joined by Whitney Webb and Ryan Cristián from The Last American Vagabond, as they discuss the rollout of a new system of control the likes of which the world has never seen. It has been said to never let a good crisis go to waste, and it appears the ones pulling the strings are taking full advantage of the current crisis as more and more evidence emerges contradicting the official story that suggests this crisis is no accident. The fact that Bill Gates has teamed up with the Department of Defense and DARPA, which is the special project research and development arm of the Pentagon, to develop a brand new type of vaccine which is being rushed into production is alarming to say the least. Especially considering this new kind of DNA / RNA vaccine would normally take 15-20 years to roll out, while this one is being rolled out in a matter of months and is already undergoing human clinical trials. The urgency and rolled back regulations to streamline this new vaccine is, of course, justified by the crisis.

Bill Gates offered Nigerian House of Reps $10m bribe for speedy passage of compulsory vaccine bill – before any vaccine is invented CUPP alleges. The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), on Monday, alleged that it has intercepted a human intelligence report that the Nigeria House of Representatives leadership was poised to forcefully pass the compulsory vaccine bill without subjecting it to the traditions of legislative proceedings. In a statement issued and signed by the spokesperson of the opposition political parties, Barrister Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere and sent to DAILY POST in Abuja on Monday, the body urged lawmakers in the lower chamber to rise against impunity. The body in the statement alleged that a sum of $10 million was offered by the American Computer Czar, Bill Gates to influence the speedy passage of the bill without recourse to legislative public hearing, a development they averted as anachronistic, adding that the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila should be impeached if he forces the bill on members.  The statement read:  “Opposition Coalition (CUPP) has intercepted very credible intelligence and hereby alerts Nigerians of plans by the leadership of the House of Representatives led by Femi Gbajabiamila to forcefully and without adherence to the rules of lawmaking to pass the Control of Infectious Diseases Bill 2020 otherwise known as the Compulsory Vaccination Bill which is proposing a compulsory vaccination of all Nigerians even when the vaccines have not been discovered. “This intelligence is coupled with the information of the alleged receipt, from sources outside the country but very interested in the Bill, of the sum of $10 million by the sponsors and promoters of the Bill to distribute among lawmakers to ensure a smooth passage of the Bill. “This will manifest in a wishy-washy public hearing which the promoters still insist on cancelling under the pretext of containment of the spread of the coronavirus. The intelligence is that the House will under whatever guise pass the Bill tomorrow 5th May, 2020 upon resumption. “The Nigeria opposition rejects the Bill and urges opposition lawmakers in the House of Representatives to confront the Speaker of the House with these facts tomorrow at plenary and resist every plan to illegally pass the Bill. “We have been informed that the alleged deal on the passage of the Bill was struck during a trip to Austria a few months back while the financial support for the promotion of the Bill was allegedly received last week to mobilize for a push leading to the hurried attempt to pass the Bill by any means necessary….

Potential DNA Damage from CRISPR “Seriously Underestimated,” Study Finds – A flurry of recent findings highlight a contentious question about so-called ‘gene editing’ therapies – By Sharon Begley, STAT on July 16, 2018 – From the earliest days of the CRISPR-Cas9 era, scientists have known that the first step in how it edits genomes—snipping DNA—creates an unholy mess: Cellular repairmen frantically try to fix the cuts by throwing random chunks of DNA into the breach and deleting other random bits. Research published on Monday suggests that’s only the tip of a Titanic-sized iceberg: CRISPR-Cas9 can cause significantly greater genetic havoc than experts thought, the study concludes, perhaps enough to threaten the health of patients who would one day receive CRISPR-based therapy. The results come hard on the heels of two studies that identified a related issue: Some CRISPR’d cells might be missing a key anti-cancer mechanism and therefore be able to initiate tumors. The DNA damage found in the new study included deletions of thousands of DNA bases, including at spots far from the edit. Some of the deletions can silence genes that should be active and activate genes that should be silent, including cancer-causing genes. Leading CRISPR companies scrambled to play down the latest threat to what they hope will be a multibillion-dollar business—and to their stock prices, but investors reacted with alarm. Within the first 20 minutes of when the study was released, the three publicly traded CRISPR companies lost more than $300 million in value.  The companies questioned whether the CRISPR-caused DNA damage reported in the new study applied to the kind of cells they’re planning to CRISPR. They emphasized that if genomic scrambling is at all common then it should also be seen in earlier forms of genome-editing such as zinc fingers and TALENs (but apparently isn’t). And they insisted they’re on the case…

The nuclear spy who leaked the bomb plans to the Soviets, Klaus Fuchs, studied physics and mathematics at the University of Leipzig and in 1931 he joined the German Communist Party (KPD). He fled the country when Adolf Hitler took power in 1933. He taught in Paris before moving to England. He settled in Bristol and studied under Nevill Francis Mott, the Melville Wills Professor in Theoretical Physics at the University of Bristol. Soon after he arrived in the city he was the subject of a police enquiry. “The German Counsul in Bristol named him as an extremist left-wing agitator. Not a great deal of credence was given to the allegation because such denunciations were fairly frequent and anyway the young physicist was just one of thousands of Germans who fled their homeland for ideological reasons…  In 1946 Klaus Fuchs returned to England, where he was appointed by John Cockcroft as head of the theoretical physics division at the newly created British Nuclear Research Centre at Harwell. Fuchs approached members of the Communist Party of Great Britain in order to get back in contact with the NKVD. On 19th July, 1947, Fuchs met Hanna Klopshtock in Richmond Park. Klopshtock arranged for Fuchs to meet Alexander Feklissov, London’s deputy station chief for scientific and technical intelligence. Fuchs explained to Feklissov the principle of the hydrogen bomb on which Enrico Fermi and Edward Teller were working on at the University of Chicago. [link to article]

Munificent Transatlantic Rockefeller/Rothschild empire built by tax-free Foundations on Cecil Rhodes’ CFR/RIIA model? Niall Ferguson paints a bizarre geopolitical picture after WWII, with a wise and benevolent U.S. taking over the British empire. Here Ferguson explains his 2018 book: ‘The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook’, on the power of social networks throughout history and their influence in the present. – Well there you have the conspiracy theory that we were talking about earlier. That they say they’re meeting in order to improve the world and improve economic policy coordination, but actually they’re hatching a plan to erase national boundaries and establish world government under David Rockefeller.  So, the stated objectives are the objectives and the notion that there is going to be a world government at the end of it is the fantasy. Now, I can’t speak for the Trilateral Commission, I’m not involved with that. But I can assure you that although the meetings of the Bilderberg Group are closed, nobody ever mentioned world government to me at those meetings. On the contrary, I’m always struck by the extent to which at such gatherings the discussion is reactive. You know, here’s another fine mess the world is in. Is there anything we can do about it. You don’t have a strong sense of there being control. Even the word power seems strangely inappropriate. This network is commenting on the world, exchanging ideas. I’m sure there’s an element of business involved, too. But we shouldn’t exaggerate the power of even the most exclusive networks. What’s striking to me when I interact with these groups is not their power, but often their sense of powerlessness. If you think about the events of 2016, just to take an example. Not many members of the supposed world government planned that Britain would vote to leave the European Union and that Donald Trump would become president of the United States. Donald Trump is definitely not somebody who gets invited to those meetings. So then — or for example, take the financial crisis, the events of 2008, ’09. Nobody said there are the Bilderberg meeting in 2008 saying, I think what we really need for the world government is a massive financial crisis. No, what’s striking when you spend time in these rarified circles is the lack of power. Influence, yes. These people, the people who are involved with the Schwarzman College are very influential people. But I think that power tends to be exaggerated. And if there is a world government being put together, it’s not doing – it’s not doing very well. It’s not going very well…

The Merger: How Organised Crime is Taking Over the World – by Jeffrey Robinson. In the spring of 1990 some twenty men of different nationalities met for the first time in a massive hotel and leisure complex called The City Club on the outskirts of Vienna. The purpose of their meeting? They told hotel management that they were members of an organisation called “The Italian Association” and that the subject of their meeting was how European countries could help South American countries develop their economies in Europe…. International crime has been the top headline grabber in recent months, and this is the only book that tells the inside story that until now only top CIA, Interpol, and other global crime fighters knew. In The Merger international crime expert and author of The Laundrymen Jeffrey Robinson uncovers the intricate network of connections between such infamous organised crime rings as the Sicilian Mafiosi, the Camorra from Naples, the Ndrangheta from Calabria, the Chinese Triads, the Russian, Hungarian, and Czech Republic “Maffiyas,” and organised crime groups from Columbia, Mexico, Nigeria, and Vietnam–just to name a few. In this meticulously researched book, Robinson pinpoints the factors that led to these global crime cartels–digital communication, world markets, the internet–and reveals how they have changed the face of crime forever. It’s not only the free market that is being globalized, but illegal markets as well: transnational crime expert Robinson sounds the alarm in this well-researched and genuinely chilling treatise. Veteran author Robinson (The Laundrymen, etc.) pursues a provocative thesis: where the general public has perceived the influence of traditional crime syndicates as waning, disparate developmentsAprimarily the end of the Cold War and banking’s growing reliance on computersAhave made it possible for discrete criminal entities to merge, much like legitimate corporations do. Robinson begins by recounting how “Lucky” Luciano used decentralized business techniques to create La Cosa Nostra in the 1930s; this, the author argues, allowed American organized crime to flourish through the early 1960s, with only sporadic law enforcement victories for years thereafter. Then Robinson plunges into a sordid history of global crime, identifying key players and the labyrinthine attempts by international law enforcement to play “catch-up.” Chapters detail the nefarious activities of the Russian “Mafiya,” Colombian and Mexican drug cartels, Asian Triads, Japanese Yakuza, Nigerian confidence rings, Hell’s Angels, rogue factions of the St. Regis Mohawk tribe and the surviving, leaner and meaner Cosa Nostra (and its Italian relatives). He presents a wealth of evidence that these groups have found ways to accommodate one another in numerous activities worldwide. in identity theft, credit card fraud, smuggling, bribery and counterfeiting, all of which are underwritten by enormous drug profits. More importantly, he explains, the cartels have been able to refine their money laundering, tax evasion and offshore banking crimes. All the while, Robinson provides an exciting and unsettling glimpse of our future as a wired and globalized paradise for thieves..

Big Tech Tyrrany – Censored by YouTube: Video of US author James Perloff interpreting the Covid-19 Pandemic in Biblical terms with Sean of the 600k subscriber SGT Report channel – SGT Report website – Covid 1984 & Their Beast System On The Record James Perloff – Mirrored

Truth Is a Lonely Warrior: Unmasking the Forces behind Global Destruction – Twenty-five years after publication of The Shadows of Power, James Perloff returns to the venue of political history, and takes you places where the mass media won’t. • Who benefited from the mysterious sinking of the USS Maine? • Why did President Woodrow Wilson order the manifest of the torpedoed Lusitania hidden in the archives of the U.S. Treasury? • After the official inquiry into the Pearl Harbor attack, why did Admiral Kimmel and General Short – the commanders at Pearl Harbor – want to be court-martialed? • Why was the Soviet Union given control of North Korea after World War II, when the Soviets did nothing to win the war in the Pacific? • What did Congressional Medal of Honor recipient James Stockdale reveal about Tonkin Gulf (the event used to justify intervention in Vietnam)? • How did “Operation Rockingham” lead America into the Iraq war? • Since its founding in 1921, what small organization has produced 21 Secretaries of Defense/War, 19 Treasury Secretaries, 18 Secretaries of State, and 16 CIA directors? • How did Jimmy Carter go from a generally unknown figure to Presidential nominee in just seven months? • Why has America had decades of destructive inflation (understated recently by the Consumer Price Index), when there was zero net inflation from the days of the Pilgrims until the early 20th century?  • Why did the Vietnam War last 14 years – and end in defeat – when it took us only 3 and ½ years to win World War II? • What did the head of the Ford Foundation tell Congressional investigator Norman Dodd that made him “nearly fall off the chair”? • Is it possible that many kings and other monarchs of past centuries were not as evil as they’ve been portrayed?  • What American capitalists were given landing rights for their private jets in Moscow – at the height of the Cold War? • What KGB defector predicted glasnost five years before it happened – yet was ignored by the major media? • Who is at the top of the pyramid on the back of the one-dollar bill? • Why was the USS Liberty attacked in 1967, and why was there no Congressional investigation? • The official explanation of 9-11 – where do we begin to name the holes? • Who financed ecumenism and the decline of Christian faith? • What are world elitists saying about population control? • What are courageous doctors revealing about vaccines that the major media won’t report? • Does weather control go beyond seeding clouds? What is behind the recent spike in weather disasters? • How did the Establishment trick conservatives into supporting its “free trade” agenda, destroying millions of U.S. jobs? • Who’s pouring billions of dollars into the “green” movement? • 1984 – the amazing ways in which Orwell got the future right. • And how does ALL this tie together? If you are one of those who senses that something just isn’t right with the explanations we are given for wars, our dying economy, and other world events, this book may be just right for you. Countless lies have been planted in the corporate-controlled media to benefit the rich and the few; these lies have become “fact” through the mechanism of frequent repetition. Refuting such lies with credibility requires in-depth analysis.

First hour news review with local politician: Was Sunday’s Boris Lockdown Lifting announcement leaked to the Daily Mirror three weeks ago?

Tory councillor John Goulandris: ‘Bristol Is Not, And Never Should Be, A One-Party Dictatorship’ – Changes to Bristol City Council’s constitution have been branded a “shameless power grab” that will “effectively neuter local democracy”. The Labour administration insists that the move will make the democratic process fairer and more transparent, as it effectively gives elected councillors from the ruling party more opportunity to make their voices heard on behalf of their constituents. Under the changes, Labour will increase the number of its backbench councillors taking chair roles in committees and decrease opportunities for opposition parties to put forward ‘golden’ motions for debate – which will reflect the proportionality of the chamber instead of working on rotation.

Labour’s Bristol Mayor Candidate Marvin Rees In 2016: ‘I Want To Share My Power As Mayor’ – Marvin Rees has vowed to welcome politicians of all parties into his cabinet if elected mayor of Bristol, in a significant move away from his unsuccessful last campaign. Following his selection by the Labour Party to run against George Ferguson for a second time, he said he is now open to a “rainbow cabinet” – considered a major sticking point at the last election – and wants to give more power to his cabinet members. In his first extensive interview following his selection in September, Rees also said he wanted to give councillors the job of reviewing residents’ parking zones which he said were “too expensive to scrap”. He also pledged his support to newly elected Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, “a good man” who Rees said he would work with to bring greater powers to Bristol to build houses and improve the city’s transport. Speaking to Bristol24/7 following his selection in a tight contest with councillor Mark Bradshaw, Rees said his campaign was in the “early stages”, but some changes had already been made to his approach at the last election in 2012. Most notably, the former BBC Radio Bristol journalist said he had changed his position on who would be part of his cabinet. “We would have people from other parties in our cabinet. The key is to work with the city to set out a Bristol agenda.” He added that he wants to give his cabinet “real political power” instead of treating them “essentially as an advisory room”. “My approach to cabinet is to genuinely share power with them so that you don’t end up retaining all the executive power and it all being about the self,” he said, asking: “Do we share power or do we hold power with a sole individual?” He said he wanted to extend his approach to decentralising the power of the mayor by also giving councillors more of a stake in the democratic process….

Bristol Mayor George Ferguson Denies ‘Dictatorial’ Slur – Mr Ferguson, an architect, was elected as an independent in 2012 – Bristol’s mayor George Ferguson says he will be “more consensual” should he win a second term in May’s election and has denied being “dictatorial”. He told the BBC he had “taken flak” for his residents’ parking zones (RPZ) but successful cities had to be prepared to make “brave decisions”. RPZ opponents drove a tank through Clifton while his city-wide 20mph limit roll-out has also been criticised…. “I’m not that dictatorial person that people try to paint me as,” he said. “Occasionally I may have lost my rag with people….it may have been once a year….but it gets repeated and repeated and that becomes my image….

Ex-Mayor George Ferguson: ‘The Mayor’s Office’s Decision-Making Process Seems To Have Broken All Seven Principles Of Public Life’ I do not doubt mayor Marvin Rees’ honesty, or question his personal integrity. I am absolutely sure he believes he is doing the right thing for Bristol. However, I do strongly question the motives of some of those who advise and influence him. In particular, his political head of office who seems to have been driving council policy; and YTL, the Malaysian company that seeks to relieve Bristol of our hard-won £53m grant towards the arena project. I have been listening to statements from the mayor’s office with increasing concern over the last couple of weeks, compounding a confused decision-making process that seems to have broken all seven principles of public life: 1. Selflessness: It is evident that the decision making has been driven, at least in part, by personal resentment rather than by what is best for the people of Bristol who have been clear as to their preference. 2. Integrity: Accepting thousands of pounds worth of hospitality from a company seeking advantage from a mayoral decision is not “normal”, as claimed. 3. Objectivity: Freedom of Information requests have revealed clear bias in consultancy appointments and decision-making ever since Marvin’s first trip to Malaysia to meet with YTL in December 2017. 4. Accountability: The mayor, presumably advised by his head of office, has refused to submit himself to the council’s scrutiny process. 5. Openness: The mayor’s office has grossly underplayed the significance of thousands of pounds of expenses paid by YTL, listing them inconspicuously with minor gifts or meals, without declaring even an estimated cost. 6. Honesty: Misleading figures have been quoted regarding project costs to make false comparisons, and the people of Bristol have been misled that the mayor was yet to make up his mind. 7. Leadership: Marvin has allowed his office and other interested parties to drive what has been a fiasco of a decision making process and to lose their moral compass….

Mayor Marvin Rees blasted for ‘truly shocking’ attack on democracy by claiming opponents play ‘ping-pong’ with issues. He said ‘one of the death-knells of getting things done in Bristol is to begin to get people on these benches to play ping-pong with it’. Marvin Rees has been criticised for launching a “truly shocking” attack on democracy in Bristol. The city’s mayor blamed inaction over major decisions on “political shenanigans” in the council chamber and accused councillors of playing “ping-pong” with issues. His comments, during a debate at full council on the proposed multi-million pound revamp of Cumberland Basin, have alarmed opposition leaders. Explaining the creation of two unelected advisory groups which will progress the plans for the area rebranded as Western Harbour, Mr Rees slammed members’ right to debate controversial topics on behalf of the residents they represent as counter-productive. The leaders of the three city council opposition parties have blasted the Labour mayor’s statements, accusing him of “attacking democracy”, “losing contact with reality” and being unable to take criticism. Rounding off the Western Harbour debate at the full council meeting on November 12, Mr Rees said: “Historically this organisation has failed to meet the challenges of the city because of political shenanigans. “They have not made decisions, they haven’t delivered homes or transport solutions and we are dealing with the legacy of that today.” He said he was taking the Western Harbour advisory groups “out of politics”. One of the working groups will include local people, residents’ groups and businesses, set up to “influence early plans” for the area. Alongside that will be a “reference group” comprising “individuals and organisations that enables local groups and the community to be engaged and informed about what is happening and how to participate with the proposed scheme development”.“I’m not on it. No cabinet member is on it. After the meeting, Lib Dem group leader Gary Hopkins said: “It is a symptom of the mayoral system that the further they get up and up the ivory tower, they lose contact with reality and see anyone who doesn’t agree with them 100 per cent as an enemy. “He actually uses the public disquiet with politicians, which undoubtedly has grown over the past two or three years because of what’s been going on in Parliament, to prevent scrutiny, and sees people asking relevant questions as acting irresponsibly. “It is an attack on the democratic process. “The majority of Bristol’s public are well-informed and do not like what they’re hearing and seeing. “The mayor trying to pull the wool over their eyes on everything is not a good way to proceed. “Clearly the mayoral system has got to go. “In the meantime we will be trying every means possible to uphold the democractic process and raise issues so the public can actually see what is going on and get involved. “But the mayor has bent the constitution, he’s got all the power on his side and it’s quite difficult to do that now.”…

Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees’ Bullying Breaks All His Own Rules: Why Bristol mayor Marvin Rees’ jokes are no laughing matter – Today, Bristol Live is standing up for a reporter targeted for public ridicule by our city’s political elite. This is why… – Look at this line-up of the most powerful politicians in our city. Mayor Marvin Rees, and, to his left, his deputy Craig Cheney. In front of them, ex-council leader Helen Holland and the housing lead Paul Smith, both of whom are laughing gleefully at a joke by the mayor. “Just joking, that’s just a joke,” smiles Mr Rees as he starts a public meeting of the city’s cabinet. And they all smile. “All very nice,” adds Mr Rees, as he turns on his microphone. But all isn’t very nice. Because the mayor is ridiculing another human being. In fact, some of those in front of Mr Rees are sneaking a look at the target of this so-called humour. He is sat on his own on the other side of the council chamber, trying to do his job while being publicly humiliated by Bristol’s political elite. That person is Adam Postans. He is a journalist. And, today, Bristol Live is standing up for Adam. The meeting began with what the mayor, still laughing at his own humour, called “a jovial start” – made, coincidentally, with the recording microphones switched off. Seeing Adam, Mr Rees had joked: “Be great to have a journalist here”. And how they laughed. This from a mayor who, in the same meeting, bemoaned the “downward spiral of the quality of our civic discourse”. Civic discourse? In another context, Mr Rees’ attempt to publicly tarnish Adam’s reputation could be seen as slander. It was certainly a breach of the council members’ code of conduct which, under a section entitled “Respecting others”, advises members that they should “Always treat people with respect, including the organisations and public you engage with.”…

Second hour Investigative reports:

Venezuela says eight killed in foiled ‘invasion by sea’ Interior Minister Nestor Reverol says ‘mercenary terrorists’ launched attack from Colombia. 3 May 2020   Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said the group landed early on the coast of La Guaira, about 32km from the capital Caracas [Reuters] Venezuela’s government has said it foiled a marine incursion by “terrorist mercenaries” who attempted to enter the country on speedboats from neighbouring Colombia, adding security forces killed eight of the fighters. The group landed early on Sunday on a beach in the port city of La Guaira, about 20 miles (32km) from the capital Caracas, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said in a televised address. 

World War 3: How Japan could be ‘glove over US fist’ in fight against China – WORLD WAR 3 fears have intensified as Donald Trump ramps up his coronavirus rhetoric against China – but an unearthed documentary suggests Japan, in a strategic sense, could be “the glove over Washington’s fist”.

US Pulling Patriot Missiles, Warplanes Out of Saudi Arabia Amid Dispute. US wants Saudi oil production cut to ensure stable prices – The Trump Administration has been annoyed at Saudi Arabia’s inability to stabilize oil prices at a level high enough to ensure US producers a profit, and in a move that appears to be retaliation based on those tensions, the US is starting to pull military assets out of Saudi Arabia. Officials announced on Thursday that the US will be withdrawing two Patriot missile batteries, along with a number of warplanes from the Saudi desert, along with other air defenses. The assets were placed in the area in recent months to “counter Iran.” The US buildup in Saudi Arabia began after a Yemeni missile hit oil-producing regions. Saudis blamed Iran, and the US sent forces there to “deter” them. US-Iran tensions over Iraq ultimately led to more deployments into the area. Putting troops there appears to have given the US the leverage to pull troops out of there, and with Saudi efforts to try to get oil prices back up largely unsuccessful, the US appears to have decided that this will coax them into action…

Senate fails to override Trump’s veto of Iran war resolution that would have curbed his ability to launch a strike. – WASHINGTON – The Senate on Thursday failed to override President Donald Trump’s veto of an Iran war powers resolution that would have curbed his ability to launch a military strike against that country. In a 49-to-44 vote, supporters fell short of the two-thirds supermajority needed to overturn Trump’s veto, which came Wednesday evening. The resolution would have barred Trump from using military force against Iran without explicit congressional authorization. In his veto statement, Trump called the resolution “very insulting” and leveled unexpectedly harsh criticism at Republicans who supported it. He argued that Democrats were using the issue to divide the GOP in an election year. “The few Republicans who voted for it played right into their hands,” Trump said. Sen. Tim Kaine, the chief author of the resolution, blasted Trump for bringing electoral politics into a debate about war.”It was not introduced to divide the Republican Party. It was not introduced to affect the election. It was introduced to stop a rush to an unnecessary war,” Kaine told reporters in a conference call before Thursday’s vote. “But the president can’t see that because all he can see is himself and the prospects for his own election.”

VE Day Secrets Exposed 1: BBC Scotland (available for 25 days) Eminent Monsters – MK Ultra: US Human Experimentation, Picking Up Where The Nazis Left Off – Documentary tracing the shocking truth of our governments’ love affair with torture. In 1950s Montreal, Scottish-born psychiatrist Dr Ewen Cameron experimented on his unwitting patients. His techniques included sensory deprivation, forced comas and LSD injections. His work was covertly funded by the Canadian government and the CIA and since then, his techniques have been used in Northern Ireland, Guantanamo and 27 countries around the world. Featuring extraordinary first-hand testimony from Guantanamo Bay survivors, the Hooded Men from Northern Ireland and senior American psychologists and military personnel.

VE Day Secrets Exposed 2: Evidence emerging since 2017 that Hitler tested an atomic weapon in October 1944, nine months before the Manhattan Project’s Trinity Test on 16th July 1945. Daily Express: Secret documents reveal Germans tested nuclear bomb in 1944 as doodlebugs pounded London: “A cloud shaped like a mushroom with turbulent, billowing sections (at about 7000 metres) stood, without any seeming connections over the spot where the explosion took place. Strong electrical disturbances and the impossibility to continue radio communication as by lighting turned up.” He estimated the cloud stretching for nine kilometres and described further “strange colourings” followed by a blast wave which translated into a “strong pull on the stick” – meaning his cockpit controls. The report concurs that Hitler’s scientists failed to achieve a breakthrough in nuclear technology An hour later a pilot in a different machine took off from Ludwigslust and observed the same phenomenon. According to other archival documents, the Italian correspondent Luigi Romersa observed on the ground the same explosion. He had been sent by dictator Benito Mussolini to watch the test of a “new weapon” of the Germans. He was ordered to report his impressions back to Mussolini….

Discovery of radioactive metal points to ‘success’ of Nazi atomic bomb programme. Oranienburg was reportedly the location of Adolf Hitler’s secret uranium enrichment facility – An amateur treasure hunter in Germany has stumbled upon what could be radioactive material from a secret research facility dating back to World War II. 64-year-old Bernd Thälmann was exploring the ground in Oranienburg, north-east Germany, with his metal detector when it gave an unusual ‘bleep’. After bringing the mysterious object home, the pensioner alerted the authorities about his discovery of a shiny lump of metal. Police discovered the find was radioactive, leading to the evacuation of 15 residents from several houses by emergency services. Specialists in hazmat suits searched Mr Thälmann’s home and removed the suspicious object in a lead-lined container which was then placed inside a protective suitcase. Mr Thälmann is now being investigated for being in possession of “unauthorised radioactive substances”, according to the Berlin Courier. German authorities have revealed that the area of Oranienburg was the location of Adolf Hitler’s secret uranium enrichment facility. The research centre was tasked with enriching uranium oxide imported from South America, to make weapons-grade plutonium. The ultimate aim was to create a Nazi atomic bomb. 

VE Day Secrets Exposed 3: The falsification of evidence as the truth was emerging in 1972 and 1998 that Hitler’s private secretary and treasurer Martin Bormann died on May 1 1945 fleeing the Berlin Fuhrerbunker: Firstly in 1972 as Daily Express journalist son of Jewish emigree parents Stewart Steven discovered Martin Bormann alive in Buenos Aires with Hungarian journalist Ladislas Farago. Just after this front page lead in the Daily Express the Body of the Bormann double ‘Gunther’ was unearthed. Secondly in 1996 on the publication of Op JB The Last Great Secret Of The Second World War about Ian Fleming, Desmond Morton, Winston Churchill and King George VI’s secret operation to rescue Bormann from the ruins of Berlin to do deals with him was published. The Establishment and press responded with derisive sneers and fabricated evidence that a skull had been DNA tested (quite how was not clear) and proven to be Bormann’s despite having red clay on it from Ita, Paraguay where Bormann is thought now to have lived out his days to a ripe old age as a Fourth Reich Mafia Kingpin.

Part 1 news review – Hustings for Bristol’s cancelled local elections, with Libdem candidate Mary Page, Conservative candidate Samuel Williams, Trade Union Socialist Alliance Candidate Tom Baldwin and Green candidate Sandy Hore-Ruthven. Apologies from Labour candidate Marvin Rees. – Labour party: incumbent mayor Marvin Rees (apologies)

Participants: Liberal Democrat party: Mary Page – Conservative party: Samuel Williams – Trade Union & Socialist Alliance: Tom Baldwin – Green party: Sandy Hore-Ruthven

Subjects Covered: Only mayor candidate not to join us: apologies from incumbent mayor who may have been removed next week, Labour’s Marvin Rees – Rights and wrongs of postponing Bristol’s elections for 12 months – The office of mayor, does it work and how will its future now be decided? – Covid-19 Pandemic: facts about the disease, rights and wrongs of the lock-down and physical distancing, effects on family life, the unbelievable lack of testing, death, funerals and contacts with sick loved ones in hospital and care homes, devastating economic effects of the lock-downs – The homeless in Bristol are now being put up in hotels, why had it taken a pandemic to help them off the streets and what will happen when things go back to ‘normal’? – what are candidates’ visions for a post-lock-down Bristol?

Mayor Rees calls for Government bailout to plug £82m blackhole. Mayor Marvin Rees is pleading with the Government for an NHS-style bailout for local authorities as he warned it will take Bristol years to recover from the coronavirus. Bristol city council faces an £82 milllion blackhole that will threaten frontline services. The pandemic is having a devastating impact on income vital to maintaining these services, such as from council tax, parking charges and business rates, as people lose jobs or stay at home. Mayor Marvin Rees is now pleading with the Government for an NHS-style bailout to support local authorities, similar to the one received by the NHS. Earlier this month, Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced NHS trusts would have £13.4 billion worth of debt written off to help them fight the outbreak. “We have lost revenue of £80million through this crisis.” Mr Rees says the Government must now do the same for city halls because some local authorities face “going to the wall”, although he insists the city council is in a better position than most.

Part 2 Investigative reports: Swedish Epidemiologist Prof Johan Giesecke says no evidence of any reinfection. False Positives: Recovered Patients Who Tested Positive for COVID-19 Likely Not Reinfected.  This phenomenon is likely due to the shortcomings of the coronavirus test, experts say. More than 260 COVID-19 patients in South Korea tested positive for the coronavirus after having recovered, raising alarm that the virus might be capable of “reactivating” or infecting people more than once. But infectious disease experts now say both are unlikely.

Prof. Kari Steffanson from DeCode Genetics of Iceland, ‘virus came from The Alps and Great Britain’: Prof Stefansson said that in the beginning, almost all of the cases came into Iceland from the Alps, from people who had been skiing in Austria and Italy. The authorities responded by trying to contain the spread of infection from those high risk countries. He added: “But as they were doing this, the virus was actually sneaking into the country with people from all kinds of other countries. “And the most notable there is Great Britain. So it looks like the virus had a fairly wide spread in Great Britain very, very early in this epidemic.”

Swedish Epidemiologist Johan Giesecke: Why Lockdowns Are The Wrong Policy – Professor Johan Giesecke, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, advisor to the Swedish Government (he hired Anders Tegnell who is currently directing Swedish strategy), the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and an advisor to the director general of the WHO, lays out with typically Swedish bluntness why he thinks: UK policy on lockdown and other European countries are not evidence-based. The correct policy is to protect the old and the frail only. This will eventually lead to herd immunity as a “by-product.” The initial UK response, before the “180 degree U-turn”, was better. The Imperial College paper was “not very good” and he has never seen an unpublished paper have so much policy impact. The paper was very much too pessimistic. Any such models are a dubious basis for public policy anyway. The flattening of the curve is due to the most vulnerable dying first as much as the lockdown. The results will eventually be similar for all countries. Covid-19 is a “mild disease” and similar to the flu, and it was the novelty of the disease that scared people. The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1%. At least 50% of the population of both the UK and Sweden will be shown to have already had the disease when mass antibody testing becomes available…

Trump says China’s Wuhan virology lab is source of Covid-19 – Coronavirus: Trump stands by China lab origin theory for virus. US President Donald Trump has appeared to undercut his own intelligence agencies by suggesting he has seen evidence coronavirus originated in a Chinese laboratory. Earlier the US national intelligence director’s office said it was still investigating how the virus began. But the office said it had determined Covid-19 “was not manmade or genetically modified”. China has rejected the lab theory and criticised the US response to Covid-19… 

Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research. Lab-made coronavirus related to SARS can infect human cells. An experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus — one related to the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks… The findings reinforce suspicions that bat coronaviruses capable of directly infecting humans (rather than first needing to evolve in an intermediate animal host) may be more common than previously thought, the researchers say. But other virologists question whether the information gleaned from the experiment justifies the potential risk. Although the extent of any risk is difficult to assess, Simon Wain-Hobson, a virologist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, points out that the researchers have created a novel virus that “grows remarkably well” in human cells. “If the virus escaped, nobody could predict the trajectory,” he says…

World Economic Forum Looks to Blockchain to Restart Global Economy. The World Economic Forum believes DLT supply chain solutions can help reboot the global economy, launching a blockchain deployment kit. The World Economic Forum published a report looking at how the deployment of blockchain-based solutions can address the supply chain inefficiencies and failures that have been exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Alongside the report, the WEF has released a blockchain deployment toolkit intended to assist government and businesses in adapting their supply chains to the current economic climate and to “accelerate an economic rebound post-COVID-19.”

Former ambassador who lost his career because he refused to back torture in Uzbekistan charged AFTER Salmond trial with contempt. On Tuesday morning, a large Police van full of police pulled up onto the pavement right outside my front gate, actually while I was talking on the phone to a senior political figure about the raid on my friend. The police just sat in the van staring at my house. I contacted my lawyers who contacted the Crown Office. The police van pulled away and my lawyers contacted me back to say that the Crown Office had told them I would be charged, or officially “cited”, with Contempt of Court, but they agreed there was no need for a search of my home or to remove my devices, or for vans full of police. On Thursday two plain clothes police arrived and handed me the indictment. Shortly thereafter, an email arrived from The Times newspaper, saying that the Crown Office had “confirmed” that I had been charged with contempt of court. In the case of my friend whose house was raided, he was contacted by the Daily Record just before the raid even happened!

Iran condemns German ban on Lebanon’s Hezbollah TEHRAN, May 01(MNA) –Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi has strongly condemned the German government’s blacklisting of the Lebanese Hezbollah as a measure serving the objectives of the US and the Zionist regime of Israel. In a statement on Thursday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi vehemently condemned the German government’s move to accuse the Lebanese Hezbollah of “promoting armed struggle with terrorist means.” “It appears that certain countries in Europe are adopting their stances without considering the realities in the West Asia region and by paying regard only to the objectives of the propaganda machine of the Zionist regime and the confused US regime,” Mousavi added. “The German government’s decision has been made with complete disrespect for the Lebanese government and nation, as Hezbollah is an official and legitimate part of that country’s government and parliament, and has always been an influential political party in the arena of creating political stability in that country,” he said, adding that Hezbollah enjoys massive popular backing in Lebanon and in the region.

Banks targeted in Lebanon’s ‘night of the Molotov’. At least a dozen banks torched and vandalised as fiery protests against economic hardships continue across Lebanon. Beirut, Lebanon – At least a dozen Lebanese banks across the country were torched and vandalised during the second consecutive night of angry protests fuelled by frustration over the national currency’s unfettered depreciation. Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets from Beirut to southern Sidon along with Nabatieh, the Bekaa Valley, and Tripoli and Akkar in the north. While it was unclear how many civilians were hurt, 81 security personnel were injured across the country during attempts to contain the riots, including 50 in Tripoli, the military said…

Will Trump go to war with Iran to save America’s oil industry? by Scott Ritter. It’s believed that a US-Iran war would disrupt the flow of Middle Eastern oil and, as such, should be avoided at all costs. With US oil futures trading in the negative, has the risk of such a war suddenly become attractive? Last week, nearly a dozen Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) vessels harassed a formation of US Navy and Coast Guard ships operating in international waters in the northern Persian Gulf. According to the US Navy, approximately 11 Iranian fast patrol boats conducted “dangerous and harassing approaches” of a flotilla of six vessels, repeatedly crossing the bows and sterns of the American ships at high speeds. Such maneuvers are not uncommon in the Persian Gulf, where the US and Iranian navies have faced off against each other several times over the years, employing similar harassing tactics, but always stopping short of actual confrontation. As such, President Donald Trump’s tweet on Wednesday, instructing the US Navy “to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea,” seemed like an unnecessary and dangerous escalation, especially given the history of the US-Iranian confrontation in the region and the potentially devastating consequences of such. Almost immediately after Trump released his Tweet, the price of oil rebounded. Futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) spiked to $13.49, after previously dropping to historic lows, bottoming-out at nearly negative $37. Likewise, Brent futures, which benchmark around 60 percent of global crude purchases, jumped $1.20 higher to $20.53 per barrel, after trading as low as $15.98. Normally the cause-and-effect relationship between the threat of war and the rise in oil prices would be viewed in a negative light. But these are not normal times…

Dress rehearsal: British police prepared for the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal, four days in advance – Armed British police, plus ambulance and medical crews, drone and helicopter pilots, firefighters, and the head doctor of the Salisbury District Hospital’s emergency department were preparing for the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal just four days before Russian military assassins arrived from Moscow allegedly carrying a lethal chemical weapon in a perfume bottle. Not counting the Skripals and the Russians, the British forces numbered at least two hundred. They were mobilized through the afternoon and night of February 27 until the morning of February 28, in the centre of Swindon, Wiltshire; that is a city 70 kilometres (40 miles) north of Salisbury, also in Wiltshire. The Skripals collapsed at 4:15 in the afternoon of March 4, in the centre of Salisbury. At least two of the paramedics who arrived at the scene to evacuate them to hospital had been practising in the Swindon operation. “There is no intelligence that Swindon is at risk,” a senior police officer had warned, “but I hope members of the public understand we need to be ready and prepared for any eventuality. This is Wiltshire Police getting ourselves – along with our colleagues in the fire and ambulance services – in the best position so we’re ready for anything.” Until the Skripals are released by the British authorities and permitted to speak freely to their family, their lawyers, and the press, it is not known whether they too were warned in advance to be “ready for anything.” The British Government narrative of what happened to the Skripals is that they were taken by surprise and poisoned by a Russian-made nerve agent which British government and military officials call Novichok. Two Russians have been identified by name and charged with attempted murder and other crimes, including what then-Prime Minister Theresa May said on March 12, 2018, was “an unlawful use of force by the Russian State against the United Kingdom”…

The raw truth about the UK’s special relationship with Israel – Israel is seen as an ally against Syria and Iran – Britain’s two main enemies in the region – and the Palestinians are the expendable unpeople. Britain has a special relationship with Israel that is little recognised in the mainstream media but unmissable in light of the killings in Gaza. With more than 110 protesters dead, Britain is in effect defending Israeli actions. The British government has not, as far as I have seen, actually condemned Israel for the killings. Rather, it has simply “urged Israel to show restraint” while recognising its “right to secure itself” and also blaming Hamas for the violence. When British Prime Minister Theresa May phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 10 May, by which date 40 Palestinian protesters in Gaza had already been shot, it appears she did not even raise the issue. Meanwhile, the government infers it will not even review UK arms exports to Israel after the Gaza massacres which have only been discussed once in the British cabinet. That Britain is supporting Israel over the Gaza killings is true to form. The UK’s relationship with Israel is special in at least nine areas, including arms sales, air force, nuclear deployment, navy, intelligence and trade, to name but a few…

UK Supreme Court rules against government attempt to curb BDS. The British government has suffered a major defeat in its attempt to curb the pro-Palestine Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign in a long running legal battle with the UK’s largest organisation campaigning for Palestinian human rights. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) won the landmark case in the Supreme Court today in its challenge to the government regulations which restrict Local Government Pension Schemes (LGPS) from divesting contrary to UK foreign and defence policy. The regulations limited the possibility of divestment from companies involved in or profiting from Israel’s human rights violations. In bringing the legal case, the PSC had raised concerns about threats to freedom of expression, government overreach in local democracy and the right of pension holders to have a say in the investment and divestment of their funds…

Galloway’s Rogues’ Gallery: Latest Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer – so wooden, birds try to nest in him – So monotonously ‘forensic’ was Starmer as a QC, he was appointed the public prosecutor by the Blair-Brown gang of which he was a member. But his time as the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is littered with crimes. He declined to prosecute the paedophilic rapist BBC ‘star’ Sir Jimmy Savile (another Knight of the Realm) despite police recommendations to do so. If he had done so, many children, mentally disabled people and even cadavers would’ve been spared Savile’s subsequent attentions. He was relentless in his persecution of Julian Assange, on the other hand, with his Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) office reportedly demanding, in writing, that Sweden not “get cold feet” in pursuing the fake rape charges against the publisher. He implored them not to send a team to London – as they’d done many times in other cases – to interview Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy. They must continue to demand extradition, he advised. It’s not hard to work out why. During Starmer’s role as DPP, the CPS declined to prosecute MI6 agents for involvement, during the War on Terror, in alleged crimes of torture and illegal acts of extraordinary rendition, despite the advice of Scotland Yard. Politics being a transactional business, however, Starmer did at least get an unprecedented invitation to cocktails with the head of MI6 in return…

Planet of the Humans: How Environmental and Green Energy Movements Have Been Taken Over By Capitalists – Watch on YouTube – The promise of green energy, embraced by President Barack Obama, airline owner Richard Branson, philanthropist Michael Bloomberg, 350.org founder Bill McKibben, the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations, and a large percentage of the public. Electric cars, solar panels, and wind turbines were to be the alternatives to a reliance on fossil fuels, but it hasn’t turned out to be that simple. An electric car is charged from an outlet powered by the local company that relies on coal and natural gas. A site for wind turbines in Vermont requires that a forest be cut down, a mountain-top removal similar to what seen in coal country. In an upsetting sequence, we see all the materials that have to be mined, transported, and processed to make solar panels. And still, both solar and wind power requires a backup system for rainy and windless days — which turn out to be power generated by burning fossil fuels. Gibbs asks: “Can machines made by industrial civilizations save industrial civilizations?” When solar and wind did not provide the answer, biomass became the energy alternative — most often the burning of wood chips made from trees and waste wood, like old railroad ties. But just because trees can be planted and harvested, does that make them a sustainable form of energy? What about the fuels used to power the machines cutting down the trees and converting them into chips?

Martin Bormann was vital to Hitler. Bormann made Hitler, and the Third Reich, rich through thinly veiled extortion schemes such as The Hitler Endowment Fund of German Industry. He also came up with the idea of charging royalties on Hitler’s image on postage stamps – and so made his Fuhrer personally wealthy. He became so close to Hitler and the running of the war that Hitler once screamed “To win this war, I need Bormann!”. More sinister was Bormann’s involvement in ensuring the progress of the final solution . Himmler had to report back to Bormann on the extermination of the Jews.Bormann, Hitler’s doctor Stumpfegger and Artur Axmann (the Head of the Hitler Youth) all left the bunker in Berlin together after Hitler’s suicide on 30th April 1945. After Axmann left them at the Lehrter Station Bormann and Stumpfegger disappeared. This led to one of the longest Nazi hunts in history.

BBC pauses plans to cut jobs amid coronavirus outbreak. Proposal to axe 450 jobs and pay for the licence fee for over-75s put on ice. The BBC has paused plans to cut 450 journalism jobs because of the coronavirus outbreak, leaving staff who were expecting to be made redundant unsure if it is a long-term change in policy or merely a stopgap during the pandemic. The redundancies were announced at the end of January in an effort to save £80m from the BBC’s budget, with shows such as the Victoria Derbyshire programme axed and hundreds of roles due to go across the rest of the organisation…

In a week’s time a conference on fake news and conspiracies called ‘Alternative View’ 11 was due to take place in Milton Keynes (AV11). Despite the organiser Ian R. Crane being critically ill in hospital during the lockdown he and the team have reorganised it as a series of online web screenings to which conference goers can subscribe.

First hour news review: with Lib Dem Leader on Bristol City Council and councillor for Knowle, Gary Hopkins

Over 70s and ‘at risk’ face coronavirus lockdown for year in ‘traffic light’ plan. Ministers told the Mirror that the elderly and vulnerable face having to stay at home until a vaccine is developed or so-called ‘herd immunity’ is achieved. The elderly and vulnerable could be shielded from coronavirus for weeks longer than the rest of the population under Government plans to ease the lockdown. The most “at risk” groups of people face having to stay at home until a vaccine is successfully developed or so-called ‘herd immunity’ is achieved which could take more than a year. Ministers told the Mirror that it was inevitable that the over-70s and those with underlying health conditions would have to be protected the longest.

Coronavirus: Social restrictions ‘to remain for rest of year’ – The UK will have to live with some disruptive social measures for at least the rest of the year, the government’s chief medical adviser has said. Prof Chris Whitty said it was “wholly unrealistic” to expect life would suddenly return to normal soon. He said “in the long run” the ideal way out would be via a “highly effective vaccine” or drugs to treat the disease. But he warned that the chance of having those within the next calendar year was “incredibly small”. “This disease is not going to be eradicated, it is not going to disappear,” he said, at the government’s daily coronavirus briefing. “So we have to accept that we are working with a disease that we are going to be with globally… for the foreseeable future.”

Thousands of unexplained extra deaths are happening per week during the Covid-19 outbreak. Why? Life-saving treatments cancelled, millions no longer trust the #NHS, knowing that once admitted, they may never be allowed to see a loved one again? Every week as the coronavirus outbreak continues, hundreds, and now thousands, more people are dying than we would normally expect in normal times. The death rate in the UK is now at its highest for more than 20 years, 75 per cent above the five-year average, according to the Office of National Statistics. But crucially, and fascinatingly to the scientific community, not all of these extra deaths are attributed to Covid-19. Of the nearly 8,000 extra deaths that took place in England and Wales in the week ending 10 April, only 6,200 were directly attributed to coronavirus, leaving nearly 2,000 extra, unexplained deaths…

Sweden Says Controversial Virus Strategy Proving Effective – Sweden’s unusual approach to fighting the coronavirus pandemic is starting to yield results, according to the country’s top epidemiologist. Anders Tegnell, the architect behind Sweden’s relatively relaxed response to Covid-19, told local media the latest figures on infection rates and fatalities indicate the situation is starting to stabilize. “We’re on a sort of plateau,” Tegnell told Swedish news agency TT. Sweden has left its schools, gyms, cafes, bars and restaurants open throughout the spread of the pandemic. Instead, the government has urged citizens to act responsibly and follow social distancing guidelines. The spread of Covid-19 across the globe is triggering different responses across national and even state borders, as authorities struggle to contain an outbreak about which much remains unknown. It’s unclear which strategy will ultimately prove most effective, and even experts in Sweden warn it’s too early to draw conclusions. But given the huge economic damage caused by strict lockdowns, the Swedish approach has drawn considerable interest around the world. Part of that approach relies on having access to one of the world’s best-functioning health-care systems. At no stage did Sweden see a real shortage of medical equipment or hospital capacity, and tents set up as emergency care facilities around the country have mostly remained empty…

UK Treasury Covid-19 Finances: Govt. borrowed extra £225 bn in last three weeks which is around 25% of annual; National Debt was £400bn before 2008, now about to top £2tn with annual interest payment of £15bn – Dark times [for the 99% – ed.]: The total being offered in emergency support, including loans and guarantees, is around £6.4trillion –  ‘The human cost of the pandemic has intensified at an alarming rate, and the impact on output and public finances is projected to be massive,’ the report said. Warning of the ‘worst economic downturn since the Great Depression’, IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva added: ‘Humanity is facing one of its darkest periods in living memory. Covid-19 is causing tragic loss of life; and the measures needed to fight it have turned our world upside down, affecting billions of people and stopping economies in their tracks.’ Rishi Sunak, the British Chancellor, along with his counterparts overseas, is embarking on vastly increased public spending to combat coronavirus at a time when the Treasury coffers are being depleted. Tax revenues are falling dramatically as the lockdown brings much of economic life to an emergency stop, meaning companies and individuals are paying less tax because profits and incomes are down. Our national debt stands at nearly £1.8trillion… 

Blackrock hedge fund takes central role in $500bn U.S. bailout: America’s Banks Can Simply Bail Themselves Out – Thanks to the Fed’s $27 Trillion Blackrock Deal – Mainstream media has been awfully quiet about all the fraud and manipulation stemming from the global bureaucracies’ newly enacted covid-19 reaction policies. In the U.S. amid all the commotion and fear, the Federal Reserve granted special powers to the giant private equity firm Blackrock. The arrangement has been criticized a great deal because Blackrock is now allowed to buy corporate bonds and commercial mortgages, with no oversight and continuously. Moreover, Blackrock can bail itself out and give funds to the many fossil fuel suppliers who are desperately seeking stimulus from the government. Unfortunately, politicians and central bankers worldwide have used the coronavirus outbreak as an excuse to print unlimited money for private financial institutions and shut down global economies. In the U.S., economists have stressed that the response to the covid-19 outbreak was the worst decision in “one-hundred years.”

OTHER NEWS 1 – ‘Survivor victims’ say chance to learn lessons about the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing will be ‘limited’ after they’re refused special legal status. A total of 56 people who survived the atrocity applied for ‘core participant’ status at an inquiry into the attack, but have been refused. – Arena bomb survivors believe the chance to learn lessons will be “limited” after they were refused a special legal status ahead of an inquiry into the atrocity. A total of 56 ‘survivor victims’ applied for ‘core participant’ status at the inquiry into the attack – due to take place later this year. But [corrupt, ed.] Chairman Sir John Saunders has today refused their application. But lawyers acting for the survivors say refusal of that legal status means these victims will not have the same rights and access as groups such as the police and government. Saoirse de Bont, public law and human rights lawyer at Irwin Mitchell, is representing more than 40 people seriously injured in the bombing. “The effect this terrible crime has had on hundreds of families can never be underestimated,” she said. “Many of our clients who were bombing victims and caught up in the devastation that night are still trying to come to terms with the life-changing physical and psychological injuries they suffered. Many of these survivor victims were close to death. “While it is vital that the families who lost loved ones remain at the heart of the inquiry, our clients believed their first-hand accounts of the security measures that were in place on the night and the response to the attack, would be key to the most thorough inquiry being held.

OTHER NEWS 2 – 10 Billionaires Gained $51 Billion This Week As Markets Edged Up From The Stock Crash – Amancio Ortega — of Spanish fast-fashion giant Inditex — gained the most, in both dollar and percentage terms. His net worth surged by $7.2 billion, to $64.8 billion, as Inditex stock rebounded by nearly 15.5% this week. (Shares are still down 20.4% from the beginning of the year.) Many Spanish stocks are edging upwards as the country’s COVID-19 death toll slows down. The IBEX 35, the index of the biggest publicly-traded companies in Spain, ended the week up 7.6%. Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest person, logged the second biggest increase. He gained $6.8 billion, bringing his net worth to $124.7 billion. Despite reports that Amazon may cancel Prime Day due to coronavirus, the company’s share price rose by 6.5% this week, as homebound customers are still flocking to the retail giant for groceries and other necessities. – The unemployment rate and the COVID-19 case count continue to soar, but the stock market is faring a bit better. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both surged by more than 12% in the week ending April 9. (The markets closed on April 10 for Good Friday). Stocks made a notable jump on Thursday as the Federal Reserve announced $2.3 trillion in loans to support the economy. The market gains led to a combined $51.3 billion boost for 10 of the world’s billionaires since the market closed a week ago, on April 2.

OTHER NEWS 3 – Over 43,000 US millionaires will get Covid-19 ‘stimulus’ averaging $1.6 million each. At least 43,000 American millionaires who are too rich to get coronavirus stimulus checks are getting a far bigger boost — averaging $1.6 million each, according to a congressional committee. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act trumpeted its assistance for working families and small businesses, but it apparently contains an even bigger benefit for wealthy business owners, the committee found. The act allows pass-through businesses — ones taxed under individual income, rather than corporate — an unlimited amount of deductions against their non-business income, such as capital gains, the Washington Post said. They can also use losses to avoid paying taxes in other years. That gives the roughly 43,000 individual tax filers who make at least $1 million a year a savings of $70.3 billion — or about $1.6 million apiece, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Hedge-fund investors and real estate business owners are “far and away” the ones who will benefit the most, tax expert Steve Rosenthal told the Washington Post…

Mayor Marvin Rees says setting up Bristol Energy was ‘not sensible’ “But we have to be responsible with where we are and what we inherited” – Responding to an opposition member’s question, Mr Rees blamed previous Bristol City Council administrations for entering the consumer gas and electricity market but said: “We have to be responsible with where we are and what we inherited.” It comes after the council’s cabinet last month agreed behind closed doors to bring forward an unspecified amount of additional investment earmarked for further down the road, taking it closer to the £37.7million ceiling the local authority has set for the total amount of money it will pump into the firm…

Bristol mayor Marvin Rees compares criticism of himself by Local Democracy Reporter (LDR) Adam Postans to racist journalism around the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Today is the anniversary of the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Thinking of the Right Wing media around that “makes my blood boil. I had quite a few posh media types descend on me when I dared to criticise the poor quality of a journalist (Local Democracy Reporter Adam Postans who had written December 2019 in the Bristol Post about criticism of the mayor’s £9,000 (12.5%) pay rise), so this kind of self-righteousness of the profession rings large and a lack of self-awareness. I’ve always said that racism is about individual incidents, the murder of Stephen Lawrence…” Also complains of criticism of him through social media despite spending £90k of taxpayers money on trying to control it and suggests wealthy parents of ‘activists’ (referring to Bristol journalist Tony Gosling whose parents just paid for him to visit them in New Zealand?) should have that wealth taken off them, or ‘redistributed’.

Second hour Investigative reports: we hear Bill Gates’ 1997 Prediction: 2020 Extinction By Lung Attacking Virus from ‘Syrian Girl’ blogger Maram Susli, a Syrian Australian YouTube content creator and commentator who prepares videos on the Syrian Civil War, US wars in the Middle East region.

US alerted Israel, NATO to disease outbreak in China in November — TV report. White House was reportedly not interested in the intel, but it was passed onto NATO, IDF; when it reached Israel’s Health Ministry, ‘nothing was done’. US intelligence agencies alerted Israel to the coronavirus outbreak in China already in November, Israeli television reported Thursday. According to Channel 12 news, the US intelligence community became aware of the emerging disease in Wuhan in the second week of that month and drew up a classified document. Information on the disease outbreak was not in the public domain at that stage — and was known only apparently to the Chinese government. US intelligence informed the Trump administration, “which did not deem it of interest,” but the report said the Americans also decided to update two allies with the classified document: NATO and Israel, specifically the IDF.

OTHER NEWS – World War 3: Donald Trump tells US navy to ‘shoot down and destroy’ Iranian gunboats – DONALD TRUMP has threatened to “shoot down and destroy” Iranian ships, in a sabre-rattling Tweet sure to escalate tensions in the Middle East. The US sent a warning to Iran, months after relations between the two states appeared to be spiralling towards all-out war. Mr Trump said on Twitter this lunchtime: “I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.” Tensions have been threatening to boil over all week after US military chiefs accused Iran of “provocative” actions in the volatile waterway. Iran’s defence minister dismissed US reports of harassment by Iranian vessels as “baseless” and said the “illegal and aggressive” US presence in the Gulf was causing insecurity in the region. Brigadier General Amir Hatami said: “What leads to insecurity in the Persian Gulf region is actually the illegal and aggressive presence of the Americans who have come from the other end of the world to our borders and make such baseless claims…”

1986 US legislation made it impossible for injured patients to sue vaccine manufacturers. Who Does the U.S. 1986 Childhood Vaccine Injury Act Protect? Hint: It isn’t the kids… The laws of a country are, generally, designed to protect its citizens. How this ideal is interpreted is a topic of debate in various circles, but its goal is lofty, if not quite perfect. Of specific necessity are laws aimed at protecting children, including child abuse, welfare, and labor laws. Of zero necessity, in my view, is the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA), which sounds like it has the best interests of this nation’s young citizens in mind, but actually serves a much different purpose. The NCVIA does less to protect patients than it does drug companies making vaccines. When Reagan signed the NCVIA, he also created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), which allows anyone—children and adults—who have suffered an injury (or worse) following a vaccination to file a claim. To date, it has paid out nearly $4 billion in compensation since 1988, including the 2008 case of Hannah Poling, whose family received more than $1.5 million in a landmark court award for a vaccine-autism claim. While this might sound like a good thing, one must read between the lines. The NCVIA also sets limits on the liability of vaccine manufacturers. They don’t have to pay a dime, in most cases, if someone is injured as a result of a product they make. Is there any other industry afforded such immunity? The pharmaceutical industry makes billions of dollars annually producing, promoting, and injecting a product that is known to injure people in myriad ways, and bears zero responsibility when a child—or an adult—suffers as a result.

Researchers have developed specialized proteins that they say may be able to combat the excessive immune response seen in some severe COVID-19 cases known as a “cytokine storm.” This is a phenomenon where the immune system produces an excess amount of immune cells that secrete messenger proteins known as cytokines. This overabundance of cytokines can lead to inflammation in the lungs, which in severe cases can prove fatal. Cytokine storms are seen in a variety of viral and bacterial infections, including hepatitis and HIV, as well as in patients receiving certain treatments, such as CAR-T therapy, which is used to attack cancer cells.

Trump talks about use of heat, sunlight and disinfectants as treatment for Coronavirus but doesn’t specifically say patients should be injected with a household disinfectant like Dettol as some media allege, instead implying disinfectant might be applied in the lungs.

Recommended news sites 1: Mint Press News: Sanctioned Countries Are Now Leading the World in the Fight Against Coronavirus. Countries currently facing US sanctions, around a quarter of the world’s population, are faring far better than the United States and leading the global fight against COVID-19. Another sanctioned state exporting doctors across the world during the pandemic is Cuba, the island nation is sending medical staff to neighbours like Haiti, Venezuela, Suriname and Jamaica and also further afield to Italy. “This is a global battle and we have to fight it together,” said nurse Carlos Armando Garcia Hernandez, capturing the medical internationalist spirit of Cuban medicine pioneered by Che Guevara, who quipped that, “The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.” A Cuban antiviral drug, Interferon Alpha 2b, has also proved successful in boosting patients’ immune systems, helping them fight off the coronavirus, and is now being used worldwide. Venezuela, meanwhile, struggling under crippling U.S. sanctions that have claimed the lives of at least 100,000 people according to an American UN Special Rapporteur, has mobilized to fight the virus head on. The country has conducted twice as many tests as any other South American nation, but only 288 COVID-19 cases have been found, leading to only 10 deaths. Even before any cases were confirmed, President Maduro declared a health emergency, quickly closing public buildings like theatres and restaurants. His administration rapidly organized a huge online database where citizens could inform authorities of their symptoms. Medical professionals visited tens of thousands of people in their own homes, distributing test kits and advice. Maduro decreed the suspension of all rent and utility bills during the crisis, also banning the firing of workers.

Recommended news sites 2 – Off-Guardian – The Seven-Step Path from Pandemic to Totalitarianism There are just seven steps from pandemic declaration to permanent totalitarianism – and many jurisdictions are about to start Step 5 – Sounds far-fetched? Unfortunately, it’s not. With the arrival of COVID19 many countries quickly completed Steps 1, 2 and 3. Step 4 is well under way in a large number of jurisdictions. Step 5 is on track to start in early May. Step 1 A new virus starts to spread around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) declares a pandemic. Step 2 National, state/provincial and municipal leaders, as well as public-health officials, start daily press briefings. They use them to pump out frightening statistics and modelling asserting the virus has the potential to kill many millions. Step 3 There is a concerted effort by all levels of government and public health to very rapidly ramp up testing for viral RNA, along with production of personal protective equipment. They push aside the need for regulation, including quality standards and independent verification of tests’ rates of accuracy, by insisting that fast approval and roll-out are imperative for saving lives. Step 4 When the numbers of cases and deaths start to plateau, local officials claim it’s too early to tell whether the virus has finished passing through their population and therefore, restrictive measures must continue. Step 5 About two or three weeks later, the dramatic increase in testing for viral DNA produces the desired goal of a significant upsurge in the number of people found positive for the virus. Public-health officials add jet fuel to the surge by adding to their case and death tallies the large number of people who are only suspected – and not lab-test-confirmed – to have had an infection. Politicians and public-health officials tell the populace this means they cannot return to their jobs or other activities outside the home for the time being. Step 6 Large-scale human testing of many different types of antivirals and vaccines begins, thanks to a concerted push from the WHO, Bill Gates and his collaborators, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, governments and universities. Step 7 Soon the new virus starts another cycle around the globe – just as influenza and other viruses have every year for millennia. Officials again fan the flames of fear by positing the potential for millions of deaths among people not yet protected from the virus. They rapidly roll out virus and antibody testing again, while companies sell billions more doses of antivirals and booster vaccines. Governments simultaneously cede control of all remaining public assets to global companies. This is because local and national governments’ tax bases were decimated during Step 1 and they’re virtually bankrupt from their unprecedented spending in the war against the virus in the other steps.

Recommended news sites 3 – Vigilant Citizen – Microsoft Releases (and Deletes) an Ad With Elite Occultist Marina Abramovic – On Good Friday, Microsoft released a video promoting its association with the elite’s favorite artist: Marina Abramovic. After massive backlash, the video was set to “private” and all traces of the campaign were scrubbed from Microsoft’s official website. Here’s what this fiasco was all about. The fact that powerful entities such as Microsoft keep showering Abramovic with infinite praise is quite telling. Because it doesn’t take much in-depth research to understand what she is truly about. Mainstream sources describe Marina Abramovic as a performance artist who is known for “confronting pain, blood, and physical limits of the body”. More importantly, there’s a powerful element the permeates all of her works: Occult ritual. This picture of Abramovic in ELLE Magazine sums up everything she is about. She holds the head of a goat by the horns (representing the drawing of “power” from Baphomet) while wearing a red dress (symbolic of the transformative powers of occult ritual and sacrifice). For decades, Abramovic has been associating with the world’s most prominent artists, celebrities and politicians in events that are permeated with elements of black magic. In recent years, she became mostly known for inviting John Podesta to one of her “Spirit Cooking” events which involve lots of blood and other bodily fluids. Here’s a video dating from 1997 where she prepared such an event…

Microsoft proudly partners with the “Spirit Cooker” Marina Abramovic in their new commercial.

Recommended news sites 4 – Global Research – The Media-produced Fear Is What’s Killing Our Country, Not the Coronavirus – The media’s incredibly irresponsible, “shock and awe” reporting on the coronavirus has created a monumental stampede of fear and panic which is a million times more damaging than the virus itself. Here are two facts that say it all: Fact #1. Deaths in the U.S. from influenza from 1950 to 2017 ranged from 13.5 to 53.7 per 100,000 (source statista.com). Fact #2. Deaths in the U.S. (as of this writing) from the coronavirus is 14.9 per 100,000 (source worldmeters.info). Bear in mind that this number includes “probable” deaths as well as confirmed deaths from the coronavirus. So to sum this up, the per capita deaths in the U.S. from the coronavirus is lower than the per capita deaths from the flu in almost every year from 1950 to 2017. The highest number of deaths from the flu per capita was in 1960. Deaths that year was 53.7 per 100,000, well over three times as high as the coronavirus. These are the facts, not crazy media hype. Please check them out for yourself. Incidentally, the per capita death rate from what the hysterical media loves to call a, “global pandemic” is only 2.4 per 100,000…

Fake news media – CNBC – attempt to deflect legitimate criticism of Bill and Melinda Gates foundation by trivialising evidence against them: Bill Gates is the top target for coronavirus conspiracy theories – Bill Gates has been one of the most outspoken public figures about the coronavirus pandemic. But the billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder has also become a leading target of various conspiracies that have popped up around the spread of Covid-19.  Conspiracy theories falsely linking Gates to the coronavirus’ origins in some way or another were mentioned 1.2 million times on television or social media from February to April, according to an analysis by The New York Times and Zignal Labs, a media analytics company, released on Friday.

Investigative reports: As former US military contractor Edward Snowden warns governments are “Using Pandemic to Build an Architecture of Oppression” and that “World Leaders Will Hold Onto New Emergency Powers Well After the Pandemic Ends” and close ties emerge between Bill Gates, the man behind the global lock-downs policy and child sex trafficker and abuser Jeffrey Epstein we look beyond the ‘natural outbreak’ coronavirus theory. We uncover evidence the Covid-19 pandemic may be a combination of psychological, biological and economic warfare, hybrid warfare, against nations and peoples with the object of furthering the power of the banksters and providing impetus for a world government. We look at legal protests in Spain and lock-down breaking public civil disobedience in Vancouver, Canada; Ohio, USA; Michigan, USA; United Arab Emirates; China and Paris, France against loss of civil liberties in what has become an indefinite, pandemic induced, state of emergency.

What are and are not ‘Essential Services’ within the Covid-19 State of Emergency? The shut-down of essential investigative journalism, including this twelve year long weekly FM show, the jailing of journalists in some countries for criticising government lock-downs. Evidence from Nature magazine ‘Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research. Lab-made coronavirus related to SARS can infect human cells.’ and New Delhi University virology department that Covid-19 could be man made, a bioweapon which has leaked out from a military lab, either accidentally, or deliberately. There is also the world’s most powerful financial body, the IMF’s assessment of the world economic prospects as, under lock-downs, much human money-making activity grinds to a halt.

An exclusive interview with Bristol mum Irina Bondariuk believes she, along with her two young children, caught Covid-19 on the last day of February 2020, suffered badly with all the publicised symptoms for over a month, and still has some remaining now after 40 days of isolation with her children in Shirehampton. She says she still cannot get her or her young ones tested by medical authorities, so is unlikely to have been included in official statistics.

Bristol-based former nurse, UN aid worker and PhD Dr. Judith Brown, believes much, if not most, of the obsessive mass media news coverage of the Coronavirus outbreak is confused, contradictory and that many policies the government have adopted do not stand up to close examination. She experienced Asian Flu in 1957 where there was no blow-by-blow mass media hysteria like today, ditto the 1918 Spanish flu which killed around 50 million, eclipsing the 20 million battle losses of WWI but is hardly remembered. Judith says if the authorities really cared about human lives being lost they would do something to stop the Western inspired war in Yemen which has killed around 100,000 people from bombing, cholera, diphtheria and dengue fever. BAE Systems sold £15bn worth of arms to Saudis during Yemen assault. Campaigners also allege latest export values imply UK arms sales greater than government’s declared figures

Dr Judith Brown‘s statement: 11 April at 16:15 – AM I the only person who thinks this worldwide lockdown is shocking? We have all probably been infected with a coronavirus at some point in our lives and this is just a new variant with a death rate similar to flu. We don’t have a day by day death count when we have a flu epidemic and I remember the 1957 epidemic when almost everyone in my class at school caught flu and one person aged in her twenties in our road died. Yet there was no panic, despite 5 million reported deaths – and of course there may have been more. The pandemic of 1918 killed 50-100 million people yet we commemorate the First World War that killed a ‘mere’ 20 million and forget those who died ingloriously with flu. The media is obsessed with this pandemic and normally rational people are terrified of a disease that most probably would mean a week’s sickness if they got it – the death rate is only 15% for those over 80 for God’s sake and who knows the death rate for those who are younger as many cases may be unrecorded if people have a minor illness and stay at home. Worldwide extraordinary measures have been taken – governments taking away our rights, ordinary people denied medical care they need whether it is routine surgery, chemotherapy, or elderly people with chronic disease who are denied a hospital admission they need and then die at home from something that is not the virus – but had they gone to hospital they might have survived. Journalists have been imprisoned in many countries for trying to say what I am saying. Ethnic minorities have been harassed in many countries using the virus as an excuse – for example Muslims in India and it is not reported in our news. The story is that this is a pandemic, you must be scared, you must do everything the government says, and the only criticism is whether there is enough equipment to protect nursing and medical staff, or whether the timing of the lockdown was correct or incorrect – limited discourses. The discourse that is not allowed is that the super-elites such as the Bilderbergers had decided that the next pandemic would be a practice run for scaring ordinary people to comply with ludicrous measures of control – and we are doing it. Meanwhile, the rich are making millions, the working class and middle class losing their jobs, income and businesses – it’s like the cure is worse than the disease. And meanwhile in Yemen people are welcoming the corona virus as it may give impetus to a peace process. Who cares that 2 million people have cholera with a 5% mortality rate, that a huge number of people especially children die every day from starvation and minor illnesses due to lack of medical care, and Trump has withdrawn food aid this week. In spite of their terrible suffering they are welcoming the virus as it is much less threatening than war. Let’s hope that some good comes out of it. But if ‘they’ can force people to change their lives so dramatically (and in my own view needlessly, the same number will get the virus but just spread over a longer period of time, and for those the NHS saves from the virus probably the same number will die from untreated illnesses, some of them severe) then they could tell the truth about climate change and get people to give up their dependence on fossil fuels – which in the end will kill us all and much of the world with us.

Robert Kennedy writes: #Vaccines, for #BillGates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including #Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vaccine ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy—the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism. Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems fueled by a messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology and a god-like willingness to experiment with the lives of lesser humans. Promising to eradicate Polio with $1.2 billion, Gates took control of India ‘s National Advisory Board (NAB) and mandated 50 polio vaccines (up from 5) to every child before age 5. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating vaccine-strain polio epidemic that paralyzed 496,000 children between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian Government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and evicted Gates and his cronies from the NAB. Polio paralysis rates dropped precipitously. In 2017, the World Health Organization reluctantly admitted that the global polio explosion is predominantly vaccine strain, meaning it is coming from Gates’ Vaccine Program. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, the Philippines, and Afghanistan are all linked to Gates’ vaccines. By 2018, ¾ of global polio cases were from Gates’ vaccines.

The Out Of The Shadows documentary lifts the mask on how the mainstream media & Hollywood manipulate & control the masses by spreading propaganda throughout their content,” states the description. “Our goal is to wake up the general public by shedding light on how we all have been lied to & brainwashed by a hidden enemy with a sinister agenda

Links some are making between demands by Bill Gates and other private interests for everyone to have a digital identification to show whether or not they have been vaccinated against Covid-19, ID2020, and the Bible prophecy, specifically the ‘Mark of the Beast’ in the Book of Revelation.

Bill Gates Crosses the Digital Rubicon, Says ‘Mass Gatherings’ May Not Return Without Global Vaccine. By Robert Bridge  April 8, 2020. A recurring theme among conspiracy theorists is that the elite are just waiting for the right moment to roll out their ‘mark of the beast’ technology to remotely identify and control every single human being on the planet, thus sealing their plans for a one world government. And with many people willing to do just about anything to get back to some sense of normalcy, those fears appear more justified with each passing day. In the Book of Revelation [13:16-17], there is a passage that has attracted the imagination of believers and disbelievers throughout the ages, and perhaps never more so than right now: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” Was John of Patmos history’s first conspiracy theorist, or are we merely indulging ourselves today with a case of self-fulfilling prophecy? Whatever the case may be, many people would probably have serious reservations about being branded with an ID code even if it had never been mentioned in Holy Scripture. But that certainly has not stopped Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who has been warning about a global pandemic for years, from pushing such controversial technologies on all of us. In September 2019, just three months before the coronavirus first appeared in China, ID2020, a San Francisco-based biometric company that counts Microsoft as one of its founding members, quietly announced it was undertaking a new project that involves the “exploration of multiple biometric identification technologies for infants” that is based on “infant immunization” and only uses the “most successful approaches”. For anyone who may be wondering what one of those “most successful approaches” might look like, consider the following top contender for the contract. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed what is essentially a hi-tech ‘tattoo’ that stores data in invisible dye under the skin. The ‘mark’ would be delivered together with a vaccine, most likely administered by Gavi, the global vaccine agency that also falls under the umbrella of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation…

Good Friday 2020 Covid-19 lock-down prayer from Coromandel, New Zealand: As we tell of Jesus’ trial and execution, remind us of of those who are found legally guilty for doing and saying the right things. As we look at the cross, remind us of the power of empire in any age, and remind us of our duty as people of faith to proclaim a different empire, a different kingdom, a new way of living together…

Broken promises: Lockdown being extended, the goalposts are shifting. UK lockdown to last until MAY as coronavirus peak still more than week away. BRITAIN could remain on lockdown until May amid warnings that the peak of the coronavirus outbreak is still 10 days away. Senior politicians have raised the prospect that Britons now face being shut away in their homes for at least another month as the virus continues its remorseless onslaught. Former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt suggested the lockdown could last until May. When put to him that it could last for “another month, minimum”, he told Radio 4’s World at One programme: “I think that’s a reasonable assumption.” Mr Hunt, who is now the chairman of the health and social care select committee in the House of Commons, said: “As we’ve seen from Italy and other countries, you don’t get a peak and then an immediate reduction, you stay at that peak level for some time.” He added: “I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say that the lockdown is going to need to continue for a while and we don’t need to take this decision at the beginning of next week.”

NHS staff forbidden from speaking out publicly about coronavirus. Draconian measures prevent some healthcare professions discussing their work during pandemic. Healthcare professionals are being silenced and threatened with disciplinary action for speaking out about their work during the coronavirus outbreak, the Guardian can reveal. Many NHS staff are increasingly concerned that their ability to share stories about their work is being restricted by a clampdown on speaking out publicly. It follows reports of doctors and nurses being gagged by hospitals and other NHS bodies from speaking out about widespread shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE). Tactics have included threatening emails, the possibility of disciplinary action, and some people even being sent home from work.

France extends Covid-19 lockdown beyond 15 April France has extended a nationwide lockdown to contain the coronavirus beyond 15 April, with stringent measures unlikely to end anytime soon. This is the second time that the lockdown, which took effect on 17 March, is being extended

Jail for jogging! Paris bans outdoor exercise and threatens to hit joggers with £120 fines amid coronavirus lockdown. France has banned all physical exercise in Paris during daylight hours. Joggers and walkers who infringe the conditions face fines and even prison. France today banned all physical exercise in Paris during daylight hours as part of its ever-stricter coronavirus lockdown. In a shock move announced by the city’s Police Prefecture, joggers and walkers were told they would be fined the equivalent of around £120 if found breaking the restrictions. If they continue to infringe the conditions, then they will face up to six months in prison.

Ides of March 2020: Bill Gates Resigns From Microsoft Board Nearly 45 Years After Cofounding Company. Microsoft announced a significant change with co-founder and Technology Advisor Bill Gates stepping down from the company’s Board of Directors. Gates resigned from his position on the board to dedicate more time to his philanthropic priorities, such as global health, development, education, and to focus more on tackling climate change. Gates will continue to serve as Technology Advisor to CEO Satya Nadella and other leaders within Microsoft.

Bill Gates: How we must respond to the Coronavirus pandemic: Philanthropist and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates offers insights into the COVID-19 pandemic, discussing why testing and self-isolation are essential, which medical advancements show promise and what it will take for the world to endure this crisis.

Did Bill Gates Just Reveal the Reason Behind the Lock-Downs? …a few seconds later, at 33:45, Gates drops another bombshell: We don’t want to have a lot of recovered people […] To be clear, we’re trying – through the shut-down in the United States – to not get to one percent of the population infected. We’re well below that today, but with exponentiation, you could get past that three million [people or approximately one percent of the U.S. population being infected with COVID-19 and the vast majority recovering]. I believe we will be able to avoid that with having this economic pain.” It appears that rather than let the population be exposed to the virus and most develop antibodies that give them natural, long-lasting immunity to COVID-19, Gates and his colleagues far prefer to create a vast, hugely expensive, new system of manufacturing and selling billions of test kits, and in parallel very quickly developing and selling billions of antivirals and vaccines…

Reddit: Congressional investigator Norman Dodd on tax-exempt foundations’ plans to take over government and universities: One of the most important interviews on the Internet just got even more important, because of the pandemic, now the jigsaw of the plan for the future is almost complete, and the head architects are surely the Rockefeller Family.
First here’s a brief version of the post summed up quickly:-
1. Decades ago a highly credible investigator, Norman Dodd, discovered that the tax-exempt foundations e.g. Rockefeller Foundation etc, wanted to make changes to society, and their tool of choice (at that time) was war.
2. The tax-exempt foundations said they would continue to use war until they had other effective methods for making major societal changes.
3. 10 years ago, a high-level Rockefeller document described details of other methods for influencing how the world evolves, one such scenario which was suggested in the document was a pandemic.
4. What societal changes do the Rockefellers desire? A former Rockefeller family friend blew the whistle on the plans the Rockefellers had for the future. He was told they want everyone chipped for tracking and to buy/sell. If they don’t like you they will turn off your chip to make it incredibly difficult for you to function in society.
Conclusion:- The Rockefellers no longer rely on war to make changes in the world, now they have other tools at their disposal, such as pandemics. Their goal is take away our freedoms, then if we want them back we’ll be forced to receive vaccines to gain a digital certificate of movement which allows us to be tracked on 5G control grids. Over time it will be placed onto a chip, which will be hard to avoid. By then society will be cashless, making life without a chip a struggle, almost impossible.

Declassified UK – Who controls WHO? – By Phil Miller• 9 April 2020 When all private donors are included, China does not even feature in the WHO’s top 10 overall funders for 2018-19. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the WHO’s second-largest funder after the US government. According to a report by Global Justice Now, the Gates Foundation has considerable access to the WHO leadership and much of its funding is tied to particular projects it wishes to support, helping to secure influence over the organisation’s direction. In a 2017 interview with the right-wing Spectator magazine, Gates warned: “If people aren’t worried about pandemics coming to Britain then they should be… If you asked what in the world is most likely to jump out and kill an extra 10 million people, it is absolutely a pandemic.”

Bill Gates Calls for a “Digital Certificate” to Identify Who Received COVID-19 Vaccine – Bill Gates recently stated on Reddit that “digital certificates” will be used to identify who received the upcoming COVID-19 vaccine. And these certificates will also be used to identify who can conduct business or not. Here’s how this plan is already backed by a massive organization called ID2020. For years, Bill Gates has been at the forefront of research regarding global pandemics and mass vaccination campaigns. In the past decade, Gates went on record several times stating that the world was not ready for a global pandemic. In October 2019 (only a few months before the apparition of COVID-19) the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (in cooperation with the World Economic Forum) hosted Event 201, a 3.5-hour table-top simulation of a global pandemic. Oddly enough, this simulation was about a novel coronavirus that would kill millions. About eight weeks later, an actual novel coronavirus spurred in China. This lead to some people wondering if this exercise actually predicted the spread of COVID-19. In response to these questions, a statement was posted on the Event 201 website…

Global Coronavirus statistics – from Worldometers

Katherine Albrecht: The Totalitarian Nature of Surveillance (NSA, Google, Facebook) – 09 Nov 2015 Dr. Katherine Albrecht discusses her book Spychips, published almost a decade ago, and reflects on RFID threats today as well as from other technologies. The US Goverment has decided to use the same RFID system being developed by commercial industry which will become ubiquitous by placing both RFID chips and scanners everywhere. She also discusses R.J. Rummel’s work on democide and how the very nature of government and corporate surveillance is totalitarian. Dr. Albrecht also gives the history of the private search engine StartPage and the private encrypted Netherlands-based email service StartMail, who she also works with and helped co-found.

Russia says Covid-19 is definitely NOT a bioweapon on national TV: When Rinat Maksiutov says on Russian national TV the following: “я уверен, что это природный вариант” meaning “I am sure that this is a natural variant” Right before, he specifically EXCLUDED a synthesized virus (for reasons that I don’t need to understand). Okay, as far as I am concerned, this now comes from one of the world’s foremost authority on biowarfare, offensive and defensive.

Coronavirus Contains “HIV Insertions”, Stoking Fears Over Artificially Created Bioweapon Which Attacks Human Immune System: 3D modelling of the protein structure displayed that these insertions are present at the binding site of 2019-nCoV. Due to the presence of gp120 motifs in 2019-nCoV spike glycoprotein at its binding domain, we propose that these motif insertions could have provided an enhanced affinity towards host cell receptors. Further, this structural change might have also increased the range of host cells that 2019-nCoV can infect. To the best of our knowledge, the function of these motifs is still not clear in HIV and need to be explored. The exchange of genetic material among the viruses is well known and such critical exchange highlights the risk and the need to investigate the relations between seemingly unrelated virus families.

Mark Carney: dollar is too dominant and could be replaced by digital currency. Bank of England governor says stockpiling dollars has become a barrier to global trade. Fri 23 Aug 2019.  The Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, has challenged the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency, arguing that it could be replaced by a global digital alternative to end a savings glut that resulted in 10 years of low inflation and ultra-low interest rates. Likening the move to the end of sterling’s command of international money markets 100 years ago, Carney said the dollar had reached a level of dominance that meant it was a barrier to a sustainable recovery.

Professional conspiracy theorist, or ‘nutter magnet’ David Icke, says the Coronavirus pandemic is a ‘hoax’ and that ‘Covid-19 doesn’t exist’: The Coronavirus Conspiracy: How COVID-19 Will Seize Your Rights & Destroy Our Economy. – David Icke’s Explosive Interview With London Real – The Video That Youtube Doesn’t Want You To See. – UPDATE: ‘The People’ are speaking and overcoming YouTube/Vimeo David Icke ‘virus’ video ban by sharing the link – now FOUR MILLION have watched it and counting. We shall overcome … 

Should David Icke be allowed to discredit himself in the UK media? Are his ideas ridiculous, or dangerous? Culture secretary urges Ofcom to look into conspiracy theorist David Icke’s ‘London Live’ interview. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden has said he expects Ofcom to “take appropriate action” after London Live broadcast an interview with conspiracy theorist and former footballer David Icke. Former footballer Icke has been outspoken about his theories on the coronavirus, recently saying that a vaccine could include “nanotechnology microchips” that would mean humans can be controlled. The interview broadcast by the TV station on Wednesday saw him share views on the pandemic. The programme screened a notice during ad breaks saying the views expressed were not necessarily those of the network.

Dr. Joseph Farrell – Martin Bormann and the rise of the post-war Fourth Reich – How did Martin Bormann survive the war and what was he up to afterwards? What is the truth regarding the nuclear weapons research of the axis powers? What is scalar weapons? Did Nazi scientists attain cold fusion in Argentina? To what extent did the extraterritorial Nazi state influence USA? Dr. Farrell returns to continue the uncovering of our recent history, which addresses many more mysteries regarding WW2, as an Antarctica revisit, how the Nazi remnants transformed into a Bormann Reich, the crucial year of 1947 (youtube interview)

As WWII ended, and Hitler handed power to Admiral Doenitz, German submarine U-234 was in mid-Atlantic en-route to Japan with 560Kg of Nazi enriched uranium along with infra-red fuses needed for a plutonium bomb: 1945, night of 12 May – German submarine U-234 commanded by Lt. Captain Johann Heinrich Fehler is transporting 560kg of precious Nazi enriched Uranium U235, encased in gold, from the Baltic to Japan. Onboard two Japanese naval officers Hideo Tomonaga and Lt. Genzo Shoji are killed or commit suicide shortly before the U-boat alters course and then surrenders to Destroyer USS Sutton (DE771) on 14 May. With a skeleton crew and shadowed by the Sutton, U-234 heads for the US naval base at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Its deadly cargo, now destined for the Manhattan Project, is secretly offloaded on 18 May 1945.

Did Henry Kissinger just threaten the world that if leaders don’t sign up to his & Bill Gates’ New World Order he’ll start WWIII? Kissinger says ‘even US’ can’t defeat Covid-19 alone. His solution? Global NWO government, of course  Kissinger concludes his jeremiad with a warning that “failure [to safeguard the principles of the liberal world order] could set the world on fire.” If, as he himself writes, the “purpose of the legitimate state is to provide for the fundamental needs of the people: security, order, economic well-being, and justice,” those principles collapsed long ago. The US’ first step, post-pandemic, should be to put out the fires set by Kissinger and those like him who seek to cloak empire in the rhetoric of liberal democracy. 

The Coronavirus Pandemic Will Forever Alter the World Order by Henry A. Kissinger – The Wall Street Journal April 3, 2020 …The world’s democracies need to defend and sustain their Enlightenment values. A global retreat from balancing power with legitimacy will cause the social contract to disintegrate both domestically and internationally. Yet this millennial issue of legitimacy and power cannot be settled simultaneously with the effort to overcome the Covid-19 plague. Restraint is necessary on all sides—in both domestic politics and international diplomacy. Priorities must be established. We went on from the Battle of the Bulge into a world of growing prosperity and enhanced human dignity. Now, we live an epochal period. The historic challenge for leaders is to manage the crisis while building the future. Failure could set the world on fire.

Good Friday 2020 Covid-19 lock-down Prayer from Coromandel, New Zealand

God of life, today we pause to remember the power of death
Today we tell the story of what happens when someone angers those in power
Today we tell a story of betrayal by a friend, trial by empire, execution as a way of silencing the one who names injustice
Today we tell a story that happened long ago in a land far away
Today we tell a story that continues to happen today, in places close at hand

As we remember the story today, help us to see its truth
As we tell of Jesus’ trial and execution, remind us of of those who are found legally guilty for doing and saying the right things
As we tell of the friends who are conspicuously absent from the cross, remind us of how easily we slip away when the struggle for justice becomes dangerous or challenging
As we look at the cross, remind us of the power of empire in any age, and remind us of our duty as people of faith to proclaim a different empire, a different kingdom, a new way of living together

God of life, today we pause to remember the power of those in charge to run the world
Today we remember the many people near and far who are broken by that power
– those who live in places where peace is just a word, not a reality, not even a dream
– those who are pushed to the margins because of their race, their gender, their bank balance, their marital status, or any of the countless other ways we find to set people apart
– those who live with nothing so that others may live with abundance
– those who choose to challenge the injustices in their world and are crushed beneath the feet of those in charge

But even as we remember that power we remember that day follows night, hope replaces despair, and life will conquer death

And now, as we go from this cross, may we do so ready to challenge the empires of our world, even if such a challenge leads us to a cross outside the city gates

We pray in the name of the one who showed us the depth of his passion for Your Kingdom, who taught us to live in and love justice, in whose life, death and resurrection we can find the path to Kingdom living and who taught his friends to pray by saying

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name Yahweh
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
In Jesus’ name
Amen
