Death of Christian Europe and other tales from the great decline
Your weekly round-up of the big events shaping our world
As promised, here is the weekly round-up. I fear no good news to share this week, but will aim to be more inspirational next week. Still, reality must be faced.
Christianity appears to be on the verge of being outlawed in the United Kingdom.
A man was arrested for reading the Bible aloud in London this past week. As far as I know, London has a tradition of all kind of speakers vocalising their cause in public - speaker`s corner, the soap box and all that kind of thing.
But now reading the Bible is beyond the pale. I doubt reading from the Koran or the Communist Manifesto would get you arrested, but there it is. And when BLM rioters vandalize public property they are treated as heroes.
Watch the video. An elderly man is man-handled by enforcers of the new liberal ideology, in which everything is tolerated and welcomed, except Christianity.
(I share a tweet from British satirist, Titania McGrath, who mocks the new political correctness regime - but sadly satire is struggling to keep up with reality.)
This kind of thing has happened in Sweden already. Watch it spread like wildfire now.
I have been compelled to attend many seminars and conferences in which I was trained in woke ideology - the imposition of the LGBTQI agenda; the notion of innate white privilege etc.
I have tried to point out to many people that such talk is not compatible at all with Christianity, and if you embrace it out of some misguided kindness, it logically follows that most of the Bible will be, has to be, defined as hate speech. Jesus and Paul say things in the Bible plainly that simply do not comport with modern liberalism.
Now some Christians have tried to finesse their interpretations of these passages but as you can see above, the general populace will not share that nuance. Stringent sexual morality is an affront to our culture, and will not be tolerated for long. People will continue to be arrested, because by modern definition, the Bible is hate speech.
The UK to introduce vaccine passports
This story is part of an explanation for the story above. The modern obsession with safety. Nobody must be allowed to feel unsafe. Death must not be accepted as inevitable. A virus whose victim profile has a median age of 80 is a disaster that threatens society. Never mind diarrhoea and malaria which kills kids. Retirement must not be threatened for the Boomer generation.
So here we are - Boris Johnson, despite earlier suggesting he will not do this, despite a massive segment of the population not at risk of this, will make people carry their papers, so to speak, to live normally.
You are naive if you think they will stop just at Covid vaccines in their new digital identity regime.
Again, the caveat - Covid is real. It does take lives. But the virus is with us. It is here. We cannot be too afraid to die that we do not live.
Vaccines again
First of all, it does appear that mRNA vaccines do work very well at suppressing the virus. The UK and Israel show that. There is the worrying case of the Seychelles, the most vaccinated nation on earth, re-entering lockdown, though. But to be fair, they have not used mRNA vaccines.
However, the UK, and Israel, did have spikes in the beginning of their vaccine roll-outs. As is India undergoing. Does the first shot do this? We will never know because you are not allowed to talk about this.
However, reporting systems for vaccine-related adverse events are recording cases at an exponentially higher rate than for any other vaccine. See below. And the cases follow a pattern - clotting and cardiac events. Critics will say these reporting systems are free for anybody to upload reports therefore cannot be trusted. That seems like a real leap in logic and do not explain the clear pattern that even regulators are admitting.
Now, it may be that the risk is worth it. But why is there no honesty from our corporate media overlords? If you mention any critique of the vaccines, you are denounced as some kind of terrorist.
Be aware also that the vaccine will not be a one-off. To keep your passport up to date, boosters will probably be necessary. For those who compare covid passports to yellow fever certificates, remember that you only need a yellow fever every ten years. And half of people who catch yellow fever die - not the 0.15% of Covid patients.
This segment from the superb Tucker Carlson is very informative concerning the reporting on the vaccine events. YouTubee seem to be suppressing the clip, so you know it is worthwhile.
One last point - if the vaccines are so effective, why do we still have to wear masks? To me, forcing people to walk around wearing soggy plastic over their faces, with no strong evidence they do anything, is one of the worst parts of this ugly Brave New World. (We can see no difference in contagion in regions which mandate masks and those that do not.)
I am loath to link to the annoying Trevor Noah, but if he, who always toes the party line in his new role as court jester to the coastal Americans, is beginning to see through the charade, then others will soon follow.
Bill Gates gets a divorce
And a spicy nugget of news emerges from the fall-out.
Melinda apparently warned Bill about his strange friendship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein:
Melinda Gates met with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein alongside her husband Bill in New York City and soon after said she was furious at the relationship between the two men, according to people familiar with the situation.
The previously unreported meeting occurred at Epstein’s Upper East Side Mansion in September 2013, on the same day the couple accepted the Lasker Bloomberg Public Service Award at the Pierre Hotel and were photographed alongside then-mayor Mike Bloomberg.
The meeting would prove a turning point for Gates’ relationship with Epstein, the people familiar with the matter say, as Melinda told friends after the encounter how uncomfortable she was in the company of the wealthy sex offender and how she wanted nothing to do with him…
The ties between Gates and Epstein ran much deeper than the tech mogul first admitted. As The New York Times reported, starting in 2011, Gates met with Epstein on numerous occasions. This was three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting an underage girl in Florida; by then, accusations that Epstein exploited girls and young women were widely reported in the press.
Of course, Epstein would go on to kill himself in prison despite being on suicide watch.
Epstein had strong links with Harvard, Bill Clinton and his foundation, and probably intelligence agencies too, via his companion Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of notorious Mossad spy, and British member of parliament, Robert Maxwell, whose body was found floating in the Atlantic after falling of his yacht… apparently. He is buried in Jerusalem. Maxwell also ran many of the UK`s most widely read newspapers.
These are our elites. Plan your life accordingly.
As you know, this newsletter and my writing is free for you and others. But I am trying to grow an audience so as to make this work sustainable in the long run.
Books are being planned, as are an online course.
So please reciprocate if you gain some value in reading my work by sharing this post below.
Thanks Chris for another excellent and informative missive
