It's All About the Social Credit Score
They, being the government, want to do away with cash and make all transactions digital. Every aspect of your life will be surveilled, and if your score is too low, you won't be able to travel, buy food or even leave your house. Banking will be closed to you. You will no longer exist.
The Covid panic is being used to roll this out. Medical privacy has evaporated in this milieu, now potentially everything about you will be knowable or known. If you think that's fine, I suggest you move to live in China. Personally, I think that is horrific and undermines western civilisation. These plans elites are developing are an extinction level event.

Russia Invades Ukraine
From the time Russian forces arrived at their start lines, they had to move within 48 hours and this is what happened. A full-on invasion.
Preliminary reports are that all Ukrainian air bases have been taken out, the ports are blocked and amphibious landings are underway, and AFV's are heading from the Belarus border straight to the capital, Kiev. At this rate Ukraine will be totally cleaned out within a month.
For me though, it was obvious the invasion would go ahead when the Russians started delivering brand new equipment to the front, straight from the factory. If they were doing exercises, they'd not be using brand new equipment.
And the Ukrainian policy of using bribes to pay off corrupt world leaders to try and guarantee the Ukraine's sovereignty, was clearly flawed from the start. Better to put that money into your own forces.

MSM - Take Responsibility
The mainstream media in the US have to accept blame. The sooner they do this and stop being sock puppets, the sooner we can move forward. What am I talking about?
Joe Biden, clearly he's not leading anything and the media stay silent. The most recent example of this lack of leadership relates to Russia's 'invasion' of the Ukraine. Biden made a speech announcing a range of measures being taken in response, all of which amounted to a damp squib, and when finished speaking Biden simply walked off without taking questions. There is the usual cacophony of noise as the media call out their questions. Then, back to the studio.
Why do the media even bother turning up to these events? Like during Biden's election campaign, he could make the speech and the media check it out from their desks. They could then report without even bothering to go to the White House.
This behaviour from the media started under Trump. Back then, Trump would field questions but the media were constantly rude, calling out questions out of turn. Their behaviour was unacceptable and as a result controls were put in place, rather like dealing with misbehaving children in a classroom, but these measures were necessary nonetheless. Now under Biden those controls are complete, media get no questions answered at all.
Here's a suggestion: start not turning up to those speeches. Start asking the question about who actually runs the US as it clearly is not Biden. Got any balls MSM?

Ukraine: Things Get Real
After all the waiting, Vladimir Putin has finally kicked things off by recognising parts of eastern Ukraine as independent and sent in Russian troops as 'peacekeepers.'
What we now wait for is the NATO and EU response. Economic sanctions by member countries won't mean a lot. Russia will still sell its oil and gas, and Germany will lap it up. They now depend on Russian supplies.
I just hope the US doesn't go anywhere near the conflict. After Afghanistan, they don't need another humiliating defeat. The Russian empire ebbs and flows, this is just another phase. Best to not get involved, Russia has been the graveyard for many adventurers.
But if the US do go in with boots on the ground, all those who voted for Biden should volunteer their children. They wanted a warmonger for president, they should ante up.

Investment Specialist: The Bodies are Piling Up
Watch this, Edward Dowd is the guy who predicted the crash of Moderna stock. He has a new claim, widespread fraud in the clinical trial data.
Also, funeral homes are a growth stock right now. Their upward trajectory tracks the rollout of the vaccines. Macabre, but if you're an investor, critical to know.

Prince Andrew Settles
Prince Andrew had to settle with Virginia Giuffre, he really had no other option. If he didn't settle, then he'd have to give evidence under oath and if he lied then he could go to jail for perjury. We know that Andrew doesn't interview well, so that's that.
Spare a thought for Ms Giuffre, it took great courage and stamina for her to see this through.

Press Release: Parliament Protesters Wellington
The following is a press release from the protesters outside New Zealand's parliament in Wellington:
Full text of Press Release:
Today marks one week since tens of thousands of New Zealanders from all walks of life, ages and ethnicities came together in a peaceful protest.
They travelled from all over the country and have been supported in many ways by hundreds of thousands of Kiwis.
They are united in condemning the government’s flagrant breach of human rights, deliberate divisiveness, and discrimination. The constant law changes are inconsistent with the government’s duties to the New Zealanders it was elected to represent.
The protest is a result of immense frustration and concern. People are outraged by the conduct of the government and its lack of respect, dismissive attitude and unwillingness to engage.
The position of protestors and the government have become entrenched, but this protest can end.
This communication summarises the views of the majority of groups present at Parliament today:
- Convoy 2022 NZ
- Freedom Alliance
- New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science
- Outdoors & Freedom Movement
- The Freedom and Rights Coalition
- Voices for Freedom.
We have come together and we are in agreement that the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act and all the orders and mandates made under that legislation must be revoked immediately.
The government needs to lift the unnecessary mandates, and an urgent meeting has been requested with senior cabinet ministers to open dialogue.
The infection fatality rate of Omicron is lower than the seasonal flu. Before the global pandemic, it was considered ‘normal’ for 500-700 New Zealanders to die from the seasonal flu each year. On average, 100 Kiwis die each day from various causes. There needs to be perspective.
The Traffic Light system, the ‘no jab, no job’ laws and other mandates are discriminatory, unjustified and a breach of fundamental human rights.
Not one Government representative has engaged in dialogue with the peaceful protesters. Their response of soaking the ground with high-pressure irrigation, bright lights, blasting music and ads at the gathering is infantile and highly unhelpful to bringing about a resolution. We are concerned that unless these tactics cease, they could cause significant damage to any trust held by the protesters that their elected representatives are interested in listening to them.
In addition, the behaviour of the Police last Thursday was unconscionable. New Zealanders, our friends, and the media worldwide watched in horror the deplorable and unlawful police conduct towards peaceful protestors, including women and children.
We reiterate that our request is that the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act and all the orders and mandates made under that legislation be revoked immediately in accordance with the principles of justice, democracy, respect for human rights, equality, non-discrimination, good governance and good faith.
Until the end of the mandates, participants are determined to maintain their presence.
The media is grossly misrepresenting the situation. The protestors are friendly, peaceful, hardworking New Zealanders who are pro-medical freedom. Government and media must stop their deliberate and sustained misinformation campaign.
**PRESS RELEASE ENDS**
Protesters have sent a letter to all MPs requesting an urgent meeting with senior cabinet members to open dialogue.
The government is yet to respond.
Update to follow.

Putin: NATO Badly Misjudged
Russia is reportedly going to invade the Ukraine any day now.
The rumour is that when Vladimir Putin was in Beijing recently, someone tried to kill him through poisoning. Two of his security detail died, but Putin is fine.
If true, who would be so stupid as to try this? Clearly, Putin would not react well, invasion of Ukraine is left as the only option, if for no other reason than to show the rest of the world he's not to be messed with.
NZ: Freedom Convoy 2022
Following on from the convoy in Canada, New Zealand organised its own protest. It headed from Cape Reinga in the Far North, also from East Cape and from Bluff in the South Island. All converging on Parliament buildings in the capital city - Wellington.
This has been a resounding success and the protestors are still in the grounds of parliament as I write this. All along the route people came out to cheer and many were holding signs in support. They oppose mandates and Covid restrictions. For the first time in NZ's history its society is now divided and one group of people are actively discriminated against. Those who refuse to be injected with the vaccine have become second class citizens.
However, questions do have to be asked about the organisers of this convoy, about their political allegiances and backgrounds. I say that as a word of caution.
Why? For the first time I was able to follow the protest at Parliament by live streaming the event. Usually I'd have to rely on the media to do this or be there myself. If there in person, I'd get caught up in events and not be able to see the bigger picture, while the MSM are biased and only tell you what they want you to hear.
So, I followed the various live streams by citizen journalists and what I saw, to me looked like theatre. On the second day the police turned up all hands on deck, and arrests were made. Then in the afternoon they backed off, leaving the grounds to the protestors. This event coincided with the MSM TV news crews setting up and filming. When the police backed off, the TV news packed up and left. They had something in the can and needed to get to the editing suite to prepare for the 6pm news.
Is the Labour party behind these protests? Remember, the NZ Government is a Labour government. It wouldn't be a stretch to think the Labour party are capable of this, the strategy would be to play both sides of the fence. That way, they can position themselves as the saviour no matter which way things go.

The Phases of Control
Winston Peters Sides With Protestors
Now out of Parliament, NZ First leader Winston Peters has come out on the side of protestors. He doesn't quite grasp that the vaccines are dangerous and the whole exercise around Covid seems to be a global coup, but you can detect a shifting of the ground. The political classes in New Zealand are no longer lockstep. Bit by bit, the tyranny of vaccine mandates and ridiculous QR code restrictions are being chipped away at.

Rodney Hide Behind Protestors 100%
Former New Zealand ACT party leader, Rodney hide has penned this moving support for anti-mandate protests, and scolds current ACT party leader for his backing of lockdowns and mandates in general:

"And to ask you to consider this: what do you expect people to do when their rights are trampled and their lives destroyed while politicians not only refuse to meet with them but belittle them when they protest?

Queen Camilla
I'm glad the Queen has said she wants Camilla to be Queen Consort when her son Charles becomes King. Camilla has done all anyone could expect of someone in her role, and more. She's a pillar of strength and someone to be admired.
I'm sometimes critical of the British Royal Family, but not Camilla. She's lovely, she'll make a wonderful Queen.
And all the naysayers, they can get over it, we've all moved on and we can't stay stuck in the past forever.
Oh, and I wouldn't turn down an invitation to the Coronation if the right person is reading this - hint.

There may be other avenues for helping the truckers, I've embedded a useful video below.

The Case Against Vaccine Passports and Mandates
Here's a broad and educated view on vaccine passports and mandates. The conclusion: vaccine passports and mandates must be dropped immediately.
https://dailysceptic.org/vaccine-passports-and-mandates-an-interdisciplinary-critique/
Informed consent and bodily autonomy are integral to medical ethics. To override them for the public good requires a cast-iron argument and evidence that is almost irrefutable. Mandated measures for public health and safety that override consent do exist in liberal democracies. An example is wearing seatbelts in the front seat of a car. This is ethically justifiable as wearing a seatbelt does not infringe any basic liberties such as bodily autonomy or freedom of movement, and it can’t kill you. In contrast, vaccines do have the potential for harm.
