Can you imagine the mainstream media reaction if a white American serial killer was stalking a medium-sized US city (population about 500,000) murdering only Muslim men? Can you imagine the hours and hours and hours the BBC and C4 News and Sky News would spend on the story? Can you imagine the outraged newspaper headlines? Can you picture all the seemingly endless interviews with virtue-signalling politicians and media pundits and opinion-formers and leaders of the Muslim community and professional I-told-you-so attention-junkies and others of their ilk? Can you picture their foam-flecked fury? And they’d all be hectoring us about America being an Islamophobic society and no doubt they’d all be blaming Trump for sowing supposed division and hatred.
And then, of course, there would be the Muslim Lives Matter marches:
and maybe even a few ‘fiery but mostly peaceful’ protests:
Here’s the story
After three Muslim men were gunned down in less than two weeks in Albuquerque, it seemed like a possible serial killer was stalking Muslims in the area. Police believe the three shootings — along with a fourth last November — are connected, and that the killer or killers have intentionally targeted Muslims. Before the fourth attack, in an Aug. 4 press release and request for tips, police said that, in each instance, the killer had “ambushed their victims with no warning, fired shots and killed them.”
The most recent victim, 25-year-old Naeem Hussain, was found shot dead on Friday in his car in the parking lot of a refugees services organization, where he had worked at one time. Hours earlier, he had attended a funeral for the other two recent victims, Aftab Hussein, 41, and Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, who were killed July 26 and Aug. 1, respectively, both shot outside their homes. All three men were immigrants from Pakistan. Their shootings were preceded by the November death of 62-year-old Mohammad Ahmadi, originally from Afghanistan, who was killed outside the grocery store he ran with his brother.
Biden weighs in
There are around 19,000 murders in the US every year – that’s around 365 every week. Most of these are ignored by US politicians. But when 3 to 4 Muslim men are murdered, the handlers of the great leader of the free world, President Joe Biden, felt he had to be seen to comment:
Police catch the serial killer
The good news is that the Albuquerque police believe they have caught the murderer. The bad news for the liberal, progressive, US-hating media is that the suspect is 51-year-old Muhammad Syed. Judging by his name, Muhammad Syed is probably not a red-necked, Trump-supporting Islamophobic white supremacist.
Syed was arrested after police identified his car as having been at the scenes of two of the crimes and found the gun used in both those killings in Syed’s home.
Authorities stated that Syed is originally from Afghanistan, and that he’s lived in New Mexico for roughly five years, where he has faced three misdemeanor domestic violence charges, all of which were dismissed. Officers declined to confirm reporting by the New York Times that said the suspect was a Sunni Muslim and may have been targeting Shiite Muslims victims after his daughter married a Shiite, although they acknowledged they had heard this information and were investigating the suspect’s motives.
No story. Nothing to see here (1)
Oh dear. It seems that as part of America’s multi-cultural enrichment, our friends from the Religion of Peace may have imported the utterly pointless and to most people incomprehensible murderous Sunni vs Shiite internecine war.
And that’s why you probably haven’t seen anything in the media about these murders. They don’t fit the mainstream-media narrative of everything in the West being rotten and everything from the Third World being enriching and wonderful.
Remember Amina and Sara?
Anther recent story that the mainstream media seem to have rapidly glossed over is that after 12 years on the run, protected by members of his family, the Egyptian-American man, Yaser Abdel Said, who murdered his two daughters has finally been caught, tried and convicted:
What little appeared in the media about this story claimed that Yaser Abdel Said murdered his two daughters as an ‘honour killing’ because he believed they were dating American boys. But there are reports that Amina was nine and Sarah was eight when they first told their grandmother that their father was abusing them sexually, according to statements made to the authorities. So their murders may have been committed by the father to cover up his sexual abuse of his daughters.
No story. Nothing to see here (2)
Oh dear. It seems that as part of America’s multi-cultural enrichment, our friends from the Religion of Peace may have imported the utterly pointless and to most people incomprehensible tradition of murderous ‘honour killings’.
And that’s why you probably haven’t seen to much in the media about these murders. They don’t fit the mainstream media narrative of everything in the West being rotten and everything from the Third World being enriching and wonderful:
Today’s blog is probably rather less important than my Monday/Tuesday blog explaining how our rulers could solve world hunger by the end of this week by increasing food supply by more than 100 million tonnes over the next 12 months thus significantly lowering food prices. But as this blog covers an area too boring to be mentioned by the mainstream media, I thought I’d cover it anyway.
Our self-serving civil service
Here’s a chart showing how Britain’s civil service has evolved over the last 11 years from 2012 to 2022:
(to see the chart in glorious widescreen tehnicolour, left-click on it and then left click again)
The chart shows two things: the number of civil servants we pay for (the red line on the chart) and the proportion of civil servants at each grade (the blue, yellow, brown, grey and black areas on the columns).
Ever more civil servants
As the chart displays, the civil service saw a general reduction in staff numbers from 2012 to 2016. But the civil service headcount rose from 418,000 in 2016 to 510,000 in 2022 a 22% rise in just 6 years. So much for Conservative governments making any attempts to control public spending. They’re about as effective at this as they are in stopping Albanian illegal migrants crossing the Channel for a life on benefits and crime in the UK.
Ever more managers
But perhaps more interesting is the distribution of civil service staff by grade. Rather counterintuitively, the chart features the lower grades at the top of the columns and the higher grades lower down.
In 2012, 28.6% of the civil service was in the top three grades (grey, brown and black on the chart). By 2022 the proportion in the top three grades had shot up to 44.9%. Meanwhile the proportion in the lowest grade fell from 45.6% to just 28.2%.
In 2016, we paid for 146,300 managers to manage 272,000 staff at the lowest two grades. By 2022 our once great country apparently needed 228,990 managers (a 56% increase in managers) to manage just 280,000 (a mere 3% increase) lower grades.
Let me just repeat that – between 2016 and 2022, the number of managers in the civil service increased by 56% while the number of staff they manage only increased by 3%.
This is important because it is precisely those at the lowest levels who are most likely to be directly involved in delivering services, while those in the higher grades are most likely to spend their lives in ‘important’ meetings, having ‘important’ discussions, making ‘important’ decisions and developing ‘important’ strategies. These lucky 228,990 managers live in a world far removed from us ignorant, unwashed proles who just happen to pay our civil service managers’ extremely generous salaries and even more generous pensions.
Different department, same sickness
I have previously used this chart. It shows how the number of hospital beds per manager in the NHS fell from around 8 beds per manager to around 3.6 beds per manager under New Labour between 1997 and 2011:
Under New Labour, the number of managers in the NHS (England) shot up from about 25,000 to over 40,000 while the number of beds fell from 195,000 to just 144,000, falling further under the Coalition to 135,000 by 2013:
Once again, we see ever more managers being hired to do ever less work.
Cyril Northcote Parkinson
Writing in the Economist in 1955 Cyril Northcote Parkinson gave us what came to be known as Parkinson’s Law: ‘Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion’. While employed in the British Civil Service, Parkinson observed that a bureaucracy will grow at a rate of five to seven per cent a year ‘irrespective of any variation in the amount of work (if any) to be done’. One example he gave was from the Royal Navy where, between 1914 and 1928 the number of ships fell by 68 per cent and the number of sailors by 32 per cent. At the same time, the number of dockyard managers went up by 40 per cent and the number of Admiralty officials increased by 78 per cent.
Ignore the coming screaming and wailing
As we enter recession and government spending shoots up while tax receipts collapse, our government will have to face up to the fact that our bloated public sector needs to be reduced if we are to avoid national bankruptcy. When this happens, there will be much howling and wailing from the BBC and C4 News and the Guardian as they claim public services are being destroyed.
But please ignore all the mainstream media screaming and wailing by remembering that most of the growth in public spending over the last few years has been the employment of ever more managers many of whom probably do little real work while costing us billions and getting in the way of the staff at lower grades who actually do have to do something that would be recognised as work.
We’ve all been bombarded daily with horror stories about how food prices are being forced up and hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest risk starvation because the Russian invasion of Ukraine has prevented exports of grain and sunflower oil.
Well, let me give you some figures our politicians and the supine BBC and C4 News and the other mainstream media and prostitute experts-for sale don’t want to mention. They don’t mention these figures because these figures undermine the disastrous Global-Warming, climate-catastrophist, net-zero policies being forced on us by our rulers.
The US produces abut 384 million metric tonnes of corn each year and around 50 million tonnes of wheat. Ukraine produces about 38 million tonnes of corn each year and around 33 million tonnes of wheat. Around 20 million tonnes of the Ukraine’s wheat is exported each year.
Conclusion 1: The US produces an awful lot more food than Ukraine.
But let’s look at how all the USA’s corn and wheat is actually used. Around a third of the USA’s corn – that’s 128 million tonnes of the USA’s corn production – is used to make biofuels rather than being used for human consumption.
I haven’t been able to find out how much of the USA’s wheat is used for biofuels, but I did discover that in the European Union, 12 million tonnes of grain, including wheat and maize, is turned into ethanol – around 7% of the bloc’s production.
Please also note that just in the EU 3.5 million tonnes of palm oil is used to make biodiesel. That’s almost the amount of sunflower oil coming out of Ukraine and Russia combined.
Conclusion 2: We’re burning food rather than using it to feed people
The simple solution
You probably noticed that last year the petrol you buy changed from something called “E5” to “E10”. E5 petrol is petrol containing 5% biofuel and E10 is, of course, petrol containing 10% biofuel.
According to calculations done by real scientists at Princeton University, (not the whore, climate-change-propagandist scientists-for-sale we see continually being interviewed by the mainstream media), if the US and Europe were to decrease their use of ethanol made from grain by 50 per cent – that would mean just moving back from E10 petrol to E5 petrol – they would effectively replace all of Ukraine’s exports of grain.
If our rulers were to completely scrap the biofuel mandates they have imposed on us, the world would be drowning in food and food prices would collapse. Then the only reason for hungry people would be the incompetence, stupidity, venality, corruption and greed of African, Arab and Asian kleptocrats.
The biofuels catastrophe
When the EU first mandated that 2.5% of all fuel sold in the EU should be made from biofuels, worldwide food prices shot up and the UN’s Rapporteur for Food said: “It is a crime against humanity to convert agricultural productive soil into soil which produces food stuff that will be burned into biofuel.”
He further argued that biofuels would only lead to further hunger in a world where an estimated 854 million people – one out of six in 2007 – already suffered from the scourge; 100,000 people died from hunger or its immediate consequences every day; and every five seconds, a child died from hunger
We’re now at 10% biofuels and, if I have understood correctly, following new climate change legislation passed in the US last week, the biofuel content of petrol is likely to be increased even further. This will mean diverting more potential food to fuel production at a time of world food shortages and rocketing food prices.
This is madness. But it get worse. Biofuels are less efficient than fossil fuels – you get fewer miles/kilometres per litre/gallon and they damage car engines more than fossil fuels. Moreover, the huge amounts of energy required to produce biofuels mean that they are probably more environmentally-damaging than fossil fuels.
Our politicians won’t act
Scrapping the biofuels mandates in the US and EU isn’t something that would take years or months to implement. It could be done this week and the results – more food availability and falling food prices – would happen immediately.
So, why won’t our rulers do this? Moreover, why do they seem to be moving in the opposite direction – by pushing ever more food into fuel production?
It could just be utter incompetence. Or it could be fear of a storm of criticism by the ever more vociferous climate-catastrophist lobby. It could be that they are trapped by their own save-the-planet virtue-signalling. Or it could be the classic reaction of politicians and bureaucracies – the more evidence emerges that their policies are misguided, the more they double down on those policies as they can never admit that they got it wrong. We’ve seen that with the Chinese lab-leaked plague vaccines – the more evidence we have of the vaccines’ ineffectiveness and increasing numbers of people harmed by the vaccines, the more our rulers push for us to take ever more booster shots of their largely useless and potentially dangerous fake vaccines.
However, there’s a fifth possibility – that our rulers are acting together to deliberately restrict food production, push up food prices and impoverish us all as a means of increasing their control over us.
Most political movements such as leftism and Black Lives Matter and eco-campaigning and Extinction Rebellion are just greed and fascism dressed up as empathy. They pretend to want to help people, but are actually only interested in increasing their own wealth, status and their power over us while claiming they are acting in our best interests.
You can choose which of the five possibilities – incompetence, fear of the climate catastrophists, trapped by their own deference to the climate-catastrophist cult, doubling down on misguided policies or conspiracy against us – you believe is the most credible explanation of the current food crisis.
We seem to only get bad news these days. We have the climate crisis, the Covid crisis, the NHS summer crisis, the NHS winter crisis, the monkeypox crisis, the energy crisis, the cost of living crisis, the interest rate crisis, the obesity crisis, the water shortage crisis, the Ukraine crisis, the Northern Ireland Protocol crisis, the Taiwan crisis, the Africa food crisis, the …….. did I get them all or are there a few crises I forgot?
Anyway, hopefully you’ve seen the latest awful news from Australia. You remember the Great Barrier Reef – that great natural wonder which was being destroyed by us selfish evil humans burning fossil fuels supposedly causing warming and increased acidification of our oceans or something like that?
Well, it seems that coral coverage on the Great Barrier Reef is the highest it has been for 36 years. And that’s really bad news for all our climate-catastrophist, net-zero-obsessed rulers, self-serving prostitute scientists-for-sale and mainstream-media scientifically-challenged, propagandist pretend journalists all of whom have spent the last few decades bludgeoning us with their climate-disaster Project Fear:
Well, it turns out (surprise surprise) that it was all nonsense.
Some cynical readers might be amused by the fact that on the very same day that we learned of the Great Barrier Reef’s record coral cover, the Australian Parliament passed their Climate Change Act mandating reductions in CO2 emissions to save the planet (and of course, save the Great Barrier Reef which actually doesn’t need saving).
If I remember correctly, this farcical situation resembles the day on which all but five of our 650 useless, virtue-signalling, pig-ignorant, expenses-fiddling MPs voted for Ed Miliband’s economically-ruinous Climate Change Act as on that very day there was record April snowfall in London.
Here’s the wonderful Andrew Bolt from Sky News Australia heaping well-deserved ridicule on the charlatan climate doomsters including US national treasure former President Saint Obama and Britain’s twice-knighted national treasure His Excellency Lord David of Attenborough.
First – I hope that readers watched Nigel Farage and Mark Steyn on GB News yesterday evening (Tuesday 2 August). Both were excellent.
Our rulers painting themselves into a corner?
Usually I try to use this blog to provide readers with facts they might not have been aware of rather than giving my opinion. After all, any fool can have opinions, but ever fewer people nowadays seem to bother finding out the facts before sharing their self-styled ‘wisdom’ with us.
But I’ve noticed that recently our rulers seem to be exhibiting a repetitive and increasingly obsessive form of behaviour whatever the situation. So, I’d like to propose briefly analysing this here.
Vaccines – learning to live with uncertainty
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the miracle vaccines for the lab-leaked Wuhan plague are both much less effective and much more dangerous than we were originally told by the Big Pharma companies, our rulers and the establishment mainstream media.
At the start of the Chinese plague, we saw hundreds of people dying in the corridors of Italian hospitals. So I don’t blame our panic-stricken rulers for jumping aboard the ‘miracle vaccine’ bandwagon ably supported by our scientifically-ignorant, propagandist mainstream media and profit-hungry Big Pharma companies.
What our rulers should then have done is accepted that the vaccines – especially the mRNA vaccines – were experimental and had not been properly tested on sufficient numbers of people over a sufficiently long period of time. So they should have treated the vaccines roll-out as a form of clinical trial. At each stage of the roll-out, they should have monitored the risk/benefit of the vaccines for each age group and developed recommendations for which groups should be vaccinated as the benefits outweighed the risk and which groups should not be vaccinated as the risks of harm from the vaccines outweighed the potential benefits.
But this would have meant that our rulers would have had to accept that they and we would have to learn to live with uncertainty.
However, what our rulers actually did was unforgivable. Our rulers were not willing to admit that they were unsure of the benefits and risks of the vaccines in case this frightened people from taking the vaccines. So our rulers (enthusiastically supported by our mainstream-media prostitute journalists-for-sale) forced vaccinations on us using psychological pressure (you don’t want to kill granny and we must save the NHS) and direct coercion (no vaccine, no job and no vaccine, no travel).
Then, having overhyped the benefits of the vaccines and downplayed the dangers, our rulers found they had painted themselves into a corner. So, rather than admitting they might have been wrong – that there might be uncertainties with their policies – they doubled down on their mistakes by pushing ever more people to be vaccinated (often unnecessarily and sometimes dangerously), by trying to cover up the level of adverse medical events caused by the vaccines and by conducting a hate vilification campaign against anyone – those evil anti-vaxxers who ‘deny the science’ – daring to question the vaccinate-vaccinate-vaccinate narrative.
Climate – learning to live with uncertainty
I believe we are seeing exactly the same behaviour from our rulers and the supine whores in the mainstream-media-for-sale with the issue of climate change. Here are probably the main steps of this destructive psychological derangement:
Step 1 – Accept a dubious, supposedly ‘scientific’ theory
With the vaccines, this was the idea that the ‘miracle vaccines’ were effective and safe. With climate, this is the theory that CO2 emissions from human activities are causing changes in the Earth’s climate
Step 2 – Develop policies based on the supposedly ‘scientific’ theory
With vaccines, this meant mass vaccinations. With climate this means the demonisation of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and a whole series of policies to restrict our use of fossil fuels – banning petrol cars, banning gas boilers, huge ostensibly ‘green’ taxes on our energy bills, transferring farmland from producing food to producing inefficient, engine-destroying biofuels, covering the country with expensive, unreliable and largely useless wind-farms and solar panels etc etc
Step 3 – Deny the evidence of error
With vaccines this meant completely ignoring (and covering up) the increasing evidence that the vaccines were less effective and more dangerous than originally believed. With climate, this meant ignoring the increasing evidence that the theory of man-made global warming was questionable as our climate was mostly influenced by variations in the Earth’s orbit, variations in solar activity and various cyclical phenomena like El Niño and La Nina. It also meant ignoring the evidence of the harm our rulers’ policies were causing – increasing food and fuel prices, increasing fuel poverty and the destruction of Western industry as high energy prices meant companies moved production and jobs to China and India where energy was still cheap.
Step 4 – Vilify the doubters
With both vaccinations and supposed ‘catastrophic’ man-made climate change, we’ve seen furious and disgraceful efforts by the politicians and the media to disparage, insult and attack anyone daring to question the official narrative. They’ve been labeled ‘tin-foil-hat conspiracy theorists’, ‘anti-vaxxers’ and ‘science deniers’, have been equated with Holocaust deniers, have been cancelled and some have even lost their jobs and livelihoods. Both mainstream and social media have also brutally censored anyone doubting either the vaccinations or the catastrophic climate change cult.
Step 5 – Double down on your mistakes
Finally, faced with increasing evidence of and thus increasing opposition to their obviously failing policies on both vaccinations and climate change, our rulers and the media have not only obstinately refused to admit possible uncertainties and errors. Instead they have doubled down on their mistaken policies. With vaccines this means ever more people getting ever more vaccinations – third, fourth and fifth booster shots. With climate this means ever more restrictions on our lives – cutting nitrogen fertilisers, building more useless supposedly ‘renewable’ energy, allowing us plebs less travel and less food, making energy more expensive and soon forcing us all to have ‘carbon wallets’ whereby each ordinary person will have a fixed (and limited) carbon budget controlling how much they can do, travel and buy. These restrictions will obviously not apply to the ruling political, media and scientists-for-sale elites.
Learning to live with uncertainty
The core issue seems to be that our rulers and the lickspittle mainstream media are unable to accept that life is a series of uncertainties (contradictions) and that their job is to manage our way through these uncertainties (contradictions). Instead our rulers and their parasitical stooges in the media seem desperate to create the impression that they are in control – that there are certainties. As someone much smarter than myself once said:
But in trying to give the impression that there are certainties in life and that our rulers are in control, our useless, incompetent, third-rate politicians and worthless self-serving scum in the mainstream media have painted themselves into a corner with both vaccines and climate. So, to save face and maintain the illusion of their own competence, they are caught in a worsening spiral of having to impose ever more destructive policies on us in spite of the mounting evidence with both vaccines and climate that these policies are mistaken and are leading us to disaster.
The evidence that the miracle vaccines may be bad for your health is beginning to mount up. In this blog, I’ll present some new data from Scotland and the West Midlands. I’ll just show a series of charts. They hardly need any commentary.
News from the Democratic People’s Glorious Republic of Scotland
First the number of cardiovascular cases by age group for Scotland for the last two years:
As you’ll see there has been a significant rise in cardiovascular cases in the 15-44 age group (the red line on the chart).
And here are the number of people aged 15-44 requiring out-of-hours treatment for cardiovascular care (red line on the chart) compared to the historic average (green line on the chart):
Good heavens! I wonder why this could be?
Now the West Midlands
Here are the number of ambulance call-outs for heart conditions by month and year for the West Midlands Ambulance Service:
As you’ll see, the vaccination years – 2020, 2021 and 2022 – score rather well compared to the years 2017, 2018 and 2019.
And here’s the same data for people under 30 years old:
Again the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 seem somewhat higher than the previous three years.
Covid or Covid jabs?
What could be causing these apparent increases in heart problems? The lab-leaked Wuhan plague or the miracle jabs designed to combat the lab-leaked Chinese plague?
Perhaps there are two more charts which could shed a little more light on this mystery.
According to a scientific study conducted by the ‘Division of Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland which was published in 2006, between the years 1966 and 2004 there were 1,101 sudden deaths among athletes under the age of 35 – around 2.3 deaths per month:
But just in the 16 months between January 2021 and April 2022, there were around 673 athlete deaths – around 42 per month.
Here’s the trend in athlete collapses and deaths:
Admittedly, this doesn’t prove that the jabs, rather than the Chinese plague are to blame for the huge rise in heart problems. But a recent study does suggest there is a link between the jabs and heart problems:
You can see the conclusion of this study in the last sentence of the abstract: “We conclude that the mRNA vacs dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle and may account for the observations of increased thrombosis cardiomyopathy and other vascular events following vaccination”.
Do you still want your fourth and fifth and sixth booster shot?
Some new figures have come out showing crime levels in England and Wales:
Police forces in England and Wales have recorded the highest number of crimes in 20 years, driven by a sharp rise in offences including fraud, rape and violent attacks.
A total of 6.3 million crimes were recorded in the year to March 2022 – 4% higher than the previous all-time high of 6.1 million in 2019/20
Rapey, rapey!
Within the rising levels of crime, rapes and other sexual offences seem to have risen more than other types of crime:
The number of sex offences recorded by forces in England and Wales has more than doubled in the past seven years, from 88,576 in 2014/15 to 194,683 in 2021/22.
Rape offences have nearly doubled in the past six years, from 36,320 in 2015/16 to 70,330 in the year to March.
Data from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) shows there were 1,733 rape convictions in England and Wales in 2021/22. That means that someone is convicted in just 2.5% of reported rapes.
Who is committing the increasing number of crimes?
The top line on the chart below shows the percentage of the population by ethnicity. The lines below show the percentage of seven types of crime committed by each ethnicity:
As you’ll see, our friends from African and Caribbean backgrounds are really making an effort when it comes to committing criminal offences.
We all know that diversity is our strength. Though looking at official Office for National Statistics figures, it could seem to the statistically-ignorant that the more diversity we have, the more crime we have.
Scotland – an almost crime-free paradise?
While trying to write this blog, I came across this chart of crime levels in Great Leader Nicola Sturgeon’s Glorious Democratic People’s Republic of Scotland published by the country’s government:
The chart shows that crime levels in Great Leader Nicola Sturgeon’s Glorious Democratic People’s Republic of Scotland have more than halved since peaking in the mid-1990s.
I bet you wish you were lucky enough to live in Great Leader Sturgeon’s almost crime-free Glorious Democratic People’s Republic of Scotland rather than the diversity-enriched, crime-ridden hell-holes of England and Wales.
There are so many supposed crises being inflicted on us proles that I’m surprised anyone dares get out of bed any more. There’s the climate crisis, the Covid crisis, the monkeypox crisis, the cost of living crisis, the gas crisis, the energy crisis, the worst UK drought for 50 years, the wildfires crisis, the Ukraine crisis. the coming Taiwan crisis etc etc.
But if we do as we’re told – start wearing facemasks indoors yet again, get a seemingly endless stream of supposed vaccinations, have fewer sexual partners, travel less or better still not at all, use less water, eat protein-rich insects instead of beef, use less electricity and gas, spend £10,000 to £40,000 installing a useless heat pump, spend £40,000+ buying an electric milk float pretending to be a car or better still give up any thoughts of owning a car at all and just use almost non-existent public transport – if we do all those things, we might be able to save the planet and the human race. Meanwhile the elites will continue to live in their massive, centrally-heated and airconditioned mansions when they’re not flying around the world in First Class or in their private jets, eating the best food in the best restaurants and staying at luxury hotels while lecturing us on how to be more responsible citizens.
Oh, and above all, we should spend our time and energy watching sports, reality TV and box sets of our ‘favourite’ series rather than questioning why our rulers are destroying agriculture to increase food prices, forcing us to take untested experimental fake vaccines, rationing our use of energy and imposing ever more restrictions on our lives.
Jabber – leave them kids alone
There are plenty of conspiracy fanatics spreading all kinds of nonsense about the WuFlu jabs, particularly in relation to jabbing children. But just in the last two weeks there have been two serious studies published in countries with high-quality healthcare systems and excellent data collection and analysis. One was of around 255,000 children aged 5 to 11 in Singapore and the other was (I think) of around 140,000 children in Finland.
The results of both studies reached the same conclusion – children aged 5 to 11 were much more likely to be hospitalised due to adverse reaction to the WuFlu jabs than from catching the WuFlu itself. Such studies are difficult as so few children aged 5 to 11 are ever seriously ill from the WuFlu. So, despite such a large sample of children being studied, the actual number hospitalised is very small. If I remember correctly, of the 255,000 children studies in Singapore, 25 were hospitalised as a direct result of the WuFlu jab whereas only 5 were hospitalised due to catching the lab-leaked WuFlu.
These two studies are just the latest indicating that it’s probably not such a great idea to keep on pumping any healthy individuals under the age of say 60 with fake vaccines which need boosters every few months as the vaccines give limited protection against the WuFlu, probably less protection than natural immunity and maybe even weaken our bodies’ natural protection.
But our rulers have invested so much of our money and their reputations in pushing their pretend vaccines that they cannot admit the the risk/benefit ratio for the majority of the population suggests that only a tiny minority should risk WuFlu vaccination.
Can we even trust the weather forecast?
A few blogs ago, I showed the two charts below:
You can never be sure with stuff floating around the Internet, but I believe these two charts are genuine.
The one on your left is from the 1970s and the one on your right from the recent heat wave. In the 1970s, sunny weather was portrayed as something to enjoy, whereas now the map of the UK is coloured bright red in order to terrify us about supposed catastrophic climate change.
Below are two weather charts from Germany for 21 June 2017 (the top chart) and 21 June 2022 (the lower chart):
If these two charts from Germany are genuine, then it looks like German weather presenters are playing the same trick as presenters in the UK – colouring their charts in scorching red to propagandise their message of the world about to be incinerated because we’re all using too much fossil fuels.
Hey Germans, who is laughing now?
I have featured this very short video before. But as panic spreads throughout Europe over the continent’s dependency, especially Germany’s dependency, on Russian gas, let’s not forget how the German delegation at the UN sniggered and laughed when former US president Donald Trump warned in 2018 about Germany becoming dependent on Russia for its energy supplies.
There was a well-known book published in 1954 titled HOW TO LIE WITH STATISTICS:
I haven’t read it. But apparently one of the warnings given in the book was: Always Look at the Axes on a Chart
Adjusting the axes of a graph to make a point is a classic technique in manipulating charts. As a first principle, the y-axis on a bar chart should always start at 0. If not, it’s easy to prove an argument by manipulating the range, by, for example, turning minor increases into massive changes.
Here’s an illustration of how a y-axis that uses a non-zero starting point can completely change the impression we get from a simple chart. The first graph (on your left) suggests interest rates are rising dramatically. But, when plotted in the full context of the data (on your right), the rise in interest rates does not look concerning at all:
The left-hand graph makes an apparent mountain of what is actually a rather insignificant molehill.
How to terrify the statistically-challenged
This same process has been repeatedly and successfully used with supposedly catastrophic global warming
Here’s the kind of chart we’re usually shown to terrify us about the impending Global Warmageddon:
For the moment we’ll leave aside the question of whether there can actually be such a thing as average global temperatures. After all, there were limited temperatures measurements in many areas of the planet up till satellites were used in the mid-1970s. Since then there have been (I think) three generations of satellites all giving slightly different results. Moreover, satellites don’t actually measure temperature directly. According the that (not always reliable) fount of all knowledge – Wikipedia – satellites measure radiances in various wavelength bands, which must then be mathematically inverted to obtain indirect inferences of temperature. (Whatever that means)
But let’s assume the chart above is a reliable measure of global temperatures (which it most definitely is not). It looks pretty frightening. Global temperatures seem to be shooting up, threatening us all with imminent disaster – heatwaves, fires, extreme weather, collapse of agriculture, starvation, extinction of mankind (and womankind and transkind and all the other 57 or so genders). But if you look a bit more closely at the y-axis, you’ll see it measures the global temperature deviation from the 1951-1980 average in units of 0.5ºC. The chart doesn’t show actual temperatures.
Moreover, the apparently horrifying rise in global temperatures is actually only around 1ºC in 140 years from 1880 to 2020 or 0.7ºC per century.
Here’s what the same chart of global temperatures would look like if the y-axis started at zero:
Now that doesn’t look too frightening at all. And that’s why the climate-catastrophists never dare show us temperature charts where the y-axis starts at zero. Instead, we get highly manipulative presentations of data which rely on our ignorance in order to frighten us into submission to the ever-increasing coercive restrictions which are being imposed on us to supposedly save the planet
As someone much cleverer than I could ever be said:
This sporting life
To finish off, two short sporting stories.
Firstly, we’re now informed that the Scottish Cricket Board members have all resigned after a new report accused them of that old favourite – institutional racism. I’m confused. Firstly, because I didn’t know anyone in Scotland actually played cricket. I thought cricket was a game for the hated English. And secondly, the Scottish population is 96% white. So it must be difficult to find any of our coloured friends to be racist against.
Talking of supposed ‘racism’, here’s the English women’s football team currently competing in the Euros:
Apparently some BBC reporter has been moaning and blubbing about the fact that they’re all white. I guess that’s more ‘institutional racism’?
Here’s another nice sporting photo. This one features the US, Canadian and UK’s men’s relay teams who came first, second and third at this week’s Oregon world athletics championships:
But we didn’t hear the BBC complaining about the skin colour of these twelve athletes. I wonder why not?
We’ve all seen the hyperventilating media reports of “Britain Burning” and “Britain on Fire” etc etc as temperatures reached 40.3ºC or something like that in a few places (possibly mainly near airports and RAF bases) in Central and Southern England:
Of course, our political rulers and the media have blamed the fires on catastrophic Global Warming or Climate Change or Climate Crisis or whatever it’s called this month:
And the climate catastrophists have been out in force warning us all that this is the fiery-inferno future facing us all if we don’t stop using cheap, abundant, reliable fossil fuels:
I bet you didn’t know about Britain’s daily 296 arson attacks
But let me do something our rulers and media and climate catastrophists have yet again completely failed to do. Let me put these supposed apocalyptic climate-change-caused fires into context.
If we take the last full ‘normal’ year before the lab-leaked Wuhan plague struck, there were 213,782 fires attended by fire services in the UK. Of these 213,282 fires 50.5% – 108,024 – were deliberate arson.
I bet you didn’t know that!
In England, 167,291 fires were attended by fire services in just one year. Of these 48% – 80,610 – were a result of arson.
This means that there were on average 296 deliberately-lit arson fires every single day in the UK including 220 per day in England. Incidentally, it seems that our Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish friends are more prone to setting fire to things than the English. I wonder why that is?
On Tuesday 19 July 2022, when we had some very hot weather there were, I think, fewer than 50 major fires. Of course, there may have been more. We don’t know. But even if there were 100 or 150 or 200 serious fires on ‘Torrid Tuesday’, this would be fewer than an average day in the UK when there are 296 arson incidents. Though clearly, when the weather is hot and dry, this encourages idiots to light up their cheap supermarket barbecues on dry grassland which will cause more fires. Moreover, during hot weather fires will tend to spread more quickly and do more damage than when it’s p*ssing down with rain.
What is happening is that the daily 296 UK arson attacks are never reported by the national media and only a few serious ones are sometimes mentioned by local media. However, when there is a bit of hot weather, suddenly the national mainstream media have multiple orgasms over supposedly ‘apocalyptic’ fires as trying to cause widespread fear and panic over fires gets people’s attention, sells newspapers and is great clickbait. But most importantly for those peddling the end-of-mankind, Global-Warming hoax, reporting fires without mentioning the context – 296 arson attacks every day – also fits the official narrative that Global Warming is causing an overheating planet to burn up:
It’s nonsense. Total and utter nonsense. If anything, there may even have been fewer fires during the hot weather than on an average day. We don’t know as we cannot trust the media to tell us the truth. Though those fires would have been more serious than usual due to the dry conditions.
Why does it only take me and Google a couple of minutes to find all this and yet our mainstream media seem incapable/unwilling to do this most basic piece of research?
