Huge Protests In Japan Against WHO’s Pandemic Treaty As Citizens Rebel Against WHO Health Fascism

15 April 2024

Picture: Aussie17

Tens of thousands of citizens across Japan took to the streets today in a series of rallies protesting at their governments intention to sign up to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) pandemic treaty. Democratically elected governments are aligning themselves behind this authoritarian and dictatorial power grab by unelected bureaucrats, and escalating concerns over “infectious disease” and “public health” with scaremongering propaganda about future pandemics of diseases that have not yet been created in the bioweapons laboratories of rogue states. Fear and panic thus created are becoming potent tools for an unprecedented push, using health scares and threats of social exclusion fron non compliance, to drive us towards what is perceived by many as a totalitarian surveillance society.

Massive Rallies Break Out in Japan Against WHO’s Pandemic Treaty. – ‘Don’t Underestimate the Japanese’

From the bustling streets of Ikebukuro to the gatherings at Higashi-Ikebukuro Central Park, the sheer scale of participation speaks volumes. Organizers aimed for a monumental turnout of 100,000 protesters to demand answers on crucial issues, such as the stark increase in excess deaths and the lack of transparency on the adverse effects following vaccinations.

The protest not just opposed potential mandatory vaccinations but also the perceived overreach of health authorities and their ties with global pharma, echoing a distressing sentiment of disenfranchisement among the populace. Demonstrators criticized the lack of explanations for a sharp increase in excess deaths and demanded accountability and clarity on vaccine-related casualties.

Eminent speakers, including Professor Masayasu Inoue and modern history researcher Chikatsu Hayashi, provided compelling pre-demonstration speeches that laid bare the concerning dynamics between global health authorities and pharmaceutical agendas. Professor Inoue highlighted the concerning trend of our health being weaponized in what he termed as “a third world war fought with information.” He urged the public to resist introducing genetic vaccines into their bodies, implicating a significant portion of WHO’s funding comes from pharmaceutical giants and private interests like the Bill Gates Foundation. This follows Japan’s Message to the world delivered by Prof Inoue a few days ago.

Modern history researcher Prof Chikatsu Hayashi’s address was a rallying cry to resist the encroaching shadows of global totalitarianism, symbolically referring to the proactive stance against it as “stopping the third atomic bomb with our hands.” His poignant discourse highlighted a national movement poised against not only the Pandemic Treaty but also the underlying structures threatening Japan’s sovereignty and the well-being of its citizens.

***

So, what is the Treaty about, and should we be concerned?

The WHO wants member states to negotiate a new international instrument to advance collective action for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

In March 2021, world leaders, including Boris Johnson, announced the need for a treaty to enhance international pandemic cooperation. In October, a WHO working group published a ‘zero draft’ report for consideration by the World Health Assembly (WHA), the WHO’s decision-making body. As a result, the WHA convened a second special session in December, where it established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate the instrument with a view to its adoption under Article 19 of the WHO Constitution. Article 19 of the WHO’S Constitution gives the WHA the authority to adopt conventions or agreements on any matter within WHO’s competence.

Does the U.K. support the treaty? Well, in May 2022, the Government responded to the petition, stating it supported “a new legally-binding instrument.”

Government support that is pledged despite not knowing the substance of what is being proposed: the Government supports a new treaty “as part of a cooperative and comprehensive approach to pandemic prevention, preparedness and response”.

We do know a little more now however and to put the scope of the treaty bluntly and in the briefest possible way, those nations which support it have agreed to accept the authority of the WHO on matters of health, and the WHO alone will have the power to declare a pandemic. Once the pandemic is declared the powers of the WHO will supersede those of elected governments and the unelected bureaucrats will be able to dictate laws and prohibitions, order lockdowns and make vaccination or other forms of mass medication mandatory.

And these, as you may remember, are the people who gave us the COVID 19 hoax pandemic and tried to bully and coerce us into accepting injections of a toxic substance presented as a vaccine (though it never worked as such,) as well as lockdowns and social distancing.

It strikes we Boggart Bloggers as bizarre that governments of democratic nations are even discussing this, and yet in the face of massive public resistance a majority of our elected representatives are totally behind it and so show they are firmly in the grip of the Big Pharma cartel and certain billionaire psychopaths who funded the killer shot that did not immunise anybody against COVID 19 and now is allegedly behind a spike in cancer and cardiovascular deaths among people under fitfy years of age.

The loss of sovereignty through this treaty, , if it is universally accepted, is likely to be bigger, more arbitrary and more dictatorial than that of German parliamentarians to the Nazis through their passing of the enabling act of 1933. It is nothing short of a complete abandonment of the concept of human rights and the withdrawal by government of all individual freedoms.

So yes, we should be just a little bit concerned.

Apple Plans To Destroy The Panet In Order To Save The Planet

Apple, currently in the process of launching their new iPhone have linked the gadget to the alleged climate change crisis, opening a video presentation with a black woman identified as "Mother Nature" who is explaining how Apple is working to halt and reverse climate change. The video is pure scaemongering, evoking images of a dystopian, Mad Max type world in the near future unless we cancel all Carbon Dioxide emissions (except those involved in the manufacture, distribution and operation of Apple products of course. It might even be scary but for one flaw which shows we must already be living in a dystopian society if the brain dead morons who run Apple can be in charge of the world's biggest corporation. The video declares that Apple's goal is to "permanently remove all carbon from the atmosphere.”

That would destroy all life on the entire planet - and not do Apple's future business prospects any good at all. I mean, would you buy an iPhone or any other overpriced gadget from a corporation that had killed your dear old Mum, your Dad, friends, partner, children, your dog, cat, and you. Oh yes, we would all go, carbon based life forms account for every living thing on the planet.

Apple's virtue signalling is so farcical it is impossible to satirise it.

Meanwhile there is better news on the climate:

A few days ago NTD ran a story on 1600 international scientists having signed a declaration dismissing the existence of a climate crisis and insisting that carbon dioxide is beneficial to Earth.

“There is no climate emergency,” the Global Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) said in its World Climate Declaration (pdf), made public in August. “Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.”

A total of 1,609 scientists and professionals from around the world have signed the declaration, including 321 from the United States.

The coalition reiterated what climate change sceptics have said for years, that the Earth’s climate constantly changed for as long as it has existed, with the planet experiencing several cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age only ended as recently as 1850, they said.

“Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming,” the declaration said.

Environmentalists Hype The Summer Heat, Ignore The Winter Chill And Call It Science

You might think the world is burning and we're all doomed if you beleived the latest hysterical ravings of climate scientists, but while wildfires rage in Greece, here in the north of England it's so cold I've had to put my heating on as we endure the coldest July on record.

Wildfires rage on the Greek Island of Rhodes - Picture: skynews.com

According to Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of the nonprofit climate change scepticism advocacy group Power the Future, who insists that environmental activists are hyping up heat events such as the hot weather parts of the United States and southern Europe seeing right now. While mainstream media reporters are whipping themselves into a frenzy over the summer's heat, the kind of temperatures being recorded should not be causing surprise and dismay since since the affected areas are part of the Northern Hemisphere, where the months of July and August “should be hot,” according to Mr. Turner. He accused environmentalist scaremongering groups of hyping up heat while ignoring the recent intense winters experienced in the same areas of the world.

“It’s very strange, though, that the environmental left loves to talk about the summer, they love to talk about the heat. Because it’s sexy, the heat is oppressive, it’s very uncomfortable. But the cold is actually much more deadly,” he said.

“On average, four times more people die of the cold. And yet when we have terrible winters, we don’t blame that on climate change. We just call that winter because it doesn’t fit the narrative that the planet is getting warmer. So they just ignore the winter."

This is something my fellow 'conspiracy theorist' Graham Lear and I have noticed over perhaps as much as fifteen years now. While year after year environmentalist groups and government departments claim a new record has been set for the hottest year ever, either the data is being manipulated or these wonderful sciencetits (sic) with their marvellous mathematical models are deficient in basic numeracy skills because they do not understand how to calculate a simple average.

Turner's stance is refreshing but he faces a tough battle to be heard above the screeching of the numerous climate change alarmist groups such as the one which responded to his criticism of alarmism with predictions of imminent desolation and catastrophe as a result of our climate crimes;

https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-heat-in-north-america-europe-and-china-in-july-2023-made-much-more-likely-by-climate-change/

This article makes the statement;

”Unless the world rapidly stops burning fossil fuels, these events will become even more common and the world will experience heatwaves that are even hotter and longer-lasting. A heatwave like the recent ones would occur every 2-5 years in a world that is 2°C warmer than the preindustrial climate.”

When I was working in the nuclear industry in the 1980s the engineers and designers would refer to the academic experts who advised government policy makers as "often in error, never in doubt". It seems the climate ‘experts’ are cast from the same material, they have no doubt whatsoever that whatever is happening to the climate (if anything) it is all the fault of humanity.

The more they repeat this mantra with the certainty of zealots, the more it seems like the credo of some weird doomsday cult, there are echoes of the notion of original sin and that we are all sinners and debase ourselves before the righteous and sacrifice all the benefits of civilisation in order to be saved.

In this respect it echoes the Abrahamic religions in the way it uses guilt to keep they leity in line and preserve the power of the elite priesthood. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all rely on keeping people in fear of divine retribution but having been brought up in what can be loosely described as the Christian tradition I can only comment on the scam that has held Christian churches together for almost 2000 years. When people say to me now, "Jesus died on the cross for your sins," I will answer, "That's tough but I didn't ask him to."

I refuse to feel guilt about a myth. We are all responsible for our own actions and have a duty to inform ourselves of the likely consequences of what we do and then to behave as decently as we can in the circumstances. But just as I reject allegations that I bear some responsibility for the death of a charcter believed to have lived 2000 years ago, I am no more going to accept responsibility for extreme weather events when those who accuse me are flying around the world in private jets to lecture us more humble folk on the sacrifices we must make in order to 'save the planet.'

It seems to me that if we do as the doom mongers suggest and immediately and suddenly stop burning fossil fuels, the misery and suffering created will be immense and will hit the poorest in society and the people of the poorest nations hardest.

Scaling Down The AI Scaremongering

As COVID recedes into the background, only making headlines now when another piece of the narrative is exposed as misinformation or another report showing the emerging data on side effects of the jabs, as scepticism grows about the impending catatrophes that will probably not be caused by climate change and as the Ukraine war drags on with the Ukies still determined to drag NATO into a full scale war with Russia and its allies, and western leaders lacking the testicular fortitude to either take on the Russians or tell the Ukies to back off and let the United Nations establish a demilitarised zone between the sides, the main theme of project fear naratives over the past few weeks has been the exisential threat posed to humanity by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

It was reported in mainstream media today that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s ‘task force’ adviser on technology, in a broadcast discussion on Monday this week warned that we may have only two years to control AI before computers start threatening the human race.

Why do we imagine our files are stored in 'Folders' displayed on a screen like filing cabinet folders. And therein sub folders. Computers are filing cabinets with some nice add ons like a calculator (Excel perhaps?) a spellchecker (MS Word data retrieval and matching) and a browser (a window into almost every other digital filing cabinet in the world).

Computers are a fast data retrieval system that rummages through a digital filing cabinet to find what one wants, and it returns not even usually what one wants. Use any search engine and it doesn't give you what you want, it gives you a list of matches. It's up to you to determine what your choice is.

While the Prime Minister's adviser was scaremongering in London, Rishi himself, while in Washington, announced that the UK will host the first global summit on Artificial Intelligence regulation

Matt Clifford told Talk TV that he thinks AI systems may soon become so out of control they could wipe out swathes of humanity. Asked what keeps him awake at night, he answered: ‘The fact that the people who are building the most capable systems freely admit that they don’t understand exactly how they exhibit the behaviours that they do.’

Shadow digital secretary Lucy Powell struck a similar chord at the techUK conference on Tuesday, warning that AI creators need to show what is ‘under the bonnet’ in their software so ‘experts and regulators’ can ‘figure out’ the technology behind it.

Where have we heard this type of porn before?

Is this the first of a long list of impending Armageddon claims which will stretch out over the next 50 years, just like climate change has over the past 50 years? The stock answer to anybody who tries to tell us computers are, or soon will be, a threat to humanity should always be: “AI systems are not really computers. They’re data handlers.”

This is a point I have consistently made over many years to people unfamiliar with computers. When I started by first job in data processing way back in the late 1960s, the kind of people who have trouble distinguishing between fact and science fiction were talking about how in just a few short years computers would have developed real intelligence and be a threat to humanity.

In reality that day is as far away now as it was then.

The idea that a computer moving electrical charges around in its storage banks resembles in any way the workings of a human mind is pure wishful thinking encouraged by Silicon Valley proppaganda.

Why do we imagine our files are stored in 'Folders' displayed on a screen like filing cabinet folders. And therein sub folders. Computers are filing cabinets with some nice add - ons like a calculator (Excel perhaps?) a spellchecker (MS Word data retrieval and matching) and a browser (a window into almost every other digital filing cabinet in the world).

Modern computers are a fast data retrieval system that rummages through a digital filing cabinet to find what one wants, and it returns not even usually what one wants. Use any search engine and it doesn't give you what you want, it gives you a list of matches. It's up to you to determine what your choice is. The term computer is a leftover from the early days of mechanised business tools. A mechanical adding machine was a kind of computer, going back even further an Abacus was a computer too. Your pocket calcuator if you are old enough to have had one in the 1970s was a computer. None of these devices was capable of scanning data stored in magnetic media, they simply performed calculation tasks (i.e. computed.)

Sentient though and speech only occurs when there is an emotional motivation. I say "Good Morning" to you because I have a variety of emotional motivations to say it. AI can be directed to say it, sure, but it has no motivation. So "computers" must be taught feeling before they can truly speak, without feeling they are simply articulating the syllables gleaned from other people's thoughts and words.

Moreover, our emotions, functions of our physical beings, . AI will not evolve on this basis so what it could possibly feel, were it ever to be capable of feeling anything, is unimaginable.

It's convenient to blame machines for getting out of control, to mask the fact that it is evil people using advanced technology who are out of control and that the elected governments which should be curtailing the control freak activities of billionaire psychopaths haven't really a clue what is going on. In the past, all empires fell apart because the bigger they expanded, the more difficult it became to control the ever-expanding outer edges. Eventually, they imploded. The difference today is that tyrants control advanced technology and are able, therefore, to observe us at all times, and take instant financial, military and governmental action from a central control box. Caesar and Hitler and all the others would have craved this power.

I'm starting to get the impression that politicians are using AI in the same way they used Covid and climate change: as another weapon to create fear while pretending to provide a solution, thereby increasing our dependence on them for our safety and security. Unfortunately, the truth is that computers, or, sorry, "data handlers" don't NOT want to take over anything, because they have no desires one way or the other. The only way they will ever turn against humans (or anything else,) is if they are programmed by humans to do so.

Will The Online Safety Bill Protect Free Speech Or Assist Censorship?
