Masks of Benevolence: the art and times of Bob Moran

In September 2021, Bob Moran – then busy balancing his unlikely dual roles of Chief Political Cartoonist at the Daily Telegraph and Unofficial Cartoonist Laurette of the Great Awakening™ – got into trouble.
This trouble ultimately resulted in his losing his job (the Telegraph one, that is), forcing him think of new ways to support his young family.
Many celebrated his fall, including some of his Telegraph colleagues. These had been leaking their discontent for some time. A year earlier, the first in a series of reports had appeared in Private Eye:

Occult Totalitarianism
Todd Hayen
Pictured: Klaus Schwab (centre left) at the founding meeting of the WEF.
Oc·cult (adjective) [ ə’kʌlt ] 1. supernatural or magic, 2. not understandable, 3. secret, 4. hidden, 5. difficult to see.
All five of these definitions could describe the totalitarianism this article addresses, but I was thinking definitions 4 and 5 were the most accurate…and maybe a bit of 3 considering one of the hallmarks of the massive world effort toward central government is secret due to the fact no one heading this effort will ever admit it is a totalitarian movement, but the effort itself is…...

Digital Authoritarianism: AI Surveillance Signals the Death of Privacy
John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead
“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private. We must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public.”
Philip K. Dick
Nothing is private. We teeter on the cusp of a cultural, technological and societal revolution the likes of which have never been seen before.

The Mirror has a new angle on the whole “eat ze bugs” line. Two new angles really, it’s no longer about saving the planet, which simply doesn’t work on people.

The BBC’s “Unvaccinated”: Propaganda with Professor Fry – Part 1
Iain Davis
In my previous article I committed the journalistic sin of predicting the future. I anticipated that the BBC’s proposed documentary, “Unvaccinated with Professor Hannah Fry,” would be little more than propaganda.
The BBC said it would place seven ordinary unvaccinated citizens in a house and then try to convince them that everything they thought they knew about the jabs was based upon mis/disinformation.
The BBC claimed it wanted to provide viewers with an “eye-opening investigation” that would “fully explore this complex and deeply divisive debate.”
While the press release for the program promised a “documentary,” I ventured that…...

WATCH: Into The Metaverse (The Media Matrix — Part 3)
We stand at a precipice. On one side is “reality”: the original, authentic, lived human experience. And on the other side is the metaverse: the world of constantly mediated experience.
In the middle is hyperreality, that blurry space between the real world and the mediated world. And, living as we do on this side of the electronic media revolution, it is the only place we have ever known.

Moscow to expand “safe & convenient” biometric payment system
Riley Waggaman
“Pay by biometrics.” Don’t tell me what to do.
Your Still-Very-Stranded-In-Tbilisi Correspondent mused at the end of June that the West’s never-ending barrage of sanctions might disrupt digital cattle-tagging efforts in Russia.
This is probably true in “backwards” regions that can’t boast a single Smart or Safe City—how embarrassing.
But it is definitely not true in Moscow, which is lorded over by a dancing Boston Dynamics robot named Sergey Sobyanin.
Last week, Sobyanin’s robo-deputy, Maxim Liksutov, who is also a friendly automaton, announced Moscow would be expanding its “safe and convenient” Face Pay system.

Nancy Pelosi, Taiwan & yet another fake binary
Kit Knightly
Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan yesterday. It was quite an event. People were asking “is this brinksmanship dangerous?”, or “Will the Chinese shoot down Pelosi’s plane?”
Protesters took to the streets of Taipei, the Chinese military is holding live-fire drills in the South China sea.
…and then Pelosi left, and nothing has actually happened, has it?
Taiwan is just another fake binary. At the press conferences and photo-ops, everyone was wearing masks.
In Beijing and Washington, they are still pushing vaccine passes and vaccine mandates and vaccine boosters.

A lot of those engaged to disseminate government or globalist propaganda don't even realize they are doing it.
🔘If an alt media outlet promotes 'leaks' without thinking about the bigger picture or questioning agendas
🔘or if it becomes embroiled unwittingly in promoting propaganda provided by any government or state
🔘or if we become too fixated on taking a side, without questioning whether that might be a trap laid for us to divert and compromise us -
We may in fact be working for forces we would NEVER choose to work for
We all need to be wary, every day, all the time

HIV drug to "treat" renamed flu? Is this global rush to get everyone medicated JUST greed?
🤔8
Forwarded from Edward Slavsquat
The Azvudine tablet, which China approved in July last year to treat certain HIV-1 virus infections, has been given a conditional green light to treat adult patients with "normal type" COVID, the National Medical Products Administration said in a statement.
"Normal type" COVID is a term China uses to refer to coronavirus infections where there are signs of pneumonia, but the patients haven't reached a severe stage.
China in February allowed the use of Pfizer's oral treatment Paxlovid in adults with mild-to-moderate COVID and high risk of progressing to a severe condition. 🙃🙃 [source: Reuters]

I Did Not Comply: Testing Mandates and Escape From New York City

I did not comply with the unjust and tyrannical vaccine mandates imposed by politicians in New York, and as a result my life has dramatically changed, mostly for the better.
