In A Fit Of Honesty Italian Institute Of Health Reduces Official COVID Death Toll By 97%

The Italian Higher Institute of Health has drastically reduced the country’s official COVID death toll number by over 97 per cent after changing the definition of a fatality to someone who died from COVID rather than with COVID.

Picture via Zero Hedge

Italian newspaper Il Tempo has published a shock report, claiming that the country's Institute has reduced the official figure for the number of people who have died from COVID from 130,000 to under 4,000. This may surprise many people who bought into the "killer virus" narrative and unleashed torrents of pure hatred on those of us who declined vaccination, having studied the figure for reported "COVID related deaths," and the methodology used to arrive at that figure (i.e. anybody who died of any cause within 28 days of testing positive for COVID was logged as having died 'with' COVID and thus included in official statistics as a COVID - related death. This led to some bizarre reports in UK media including one notorious case of a young man who wrapped his motor cycle and himself round a tree, sustaining massive internal injuries and unfortunately died on the way to hospital. Because he posthumously tested positive for COVID his death was listed as COVID related.

However if you are still gobsmacked and goggle eyed after reading that headline figure, I will repeat it ...

A Massive 97.1% of deaths in Italy hitherto attributed to Covid were not due directly to Covid,”

Toby Young writes on his site The Expose.

"Of the of the 130,468 deaths registered as official COVID deaths since the start of the pandemic, only 3,783 are directly attributable to the virus alone."

“All the other Italians who lost their lives had from between one and five pre-existing diseases. Of those aged over 67 who died, 7% had more than three co-morbidities, and 18% at least two,” Young adds.
“According to the Institute, 65.8% of Italians who died after being infected with Covid were ill with arterial hypertension (high blood pressure), 23.5% had dementia, 29.3% had diabetes, and 24.8% atrial fibrillation. Add to that, 17.4% had lung problems, 16.3% had had cancer in the last five years and 15.7% suffered from previous heart failures.”

The revised official definition of a COVID death in Italy means that COVID has killed fewer people than (whisper it) the average round of seasonal flu in what was previously reported in a highly sensationalised way by organisations that promote propaganda as genuine factual reporting (The BBC and The Guardian for example.) So the public are left to wonder were the "conspiracy theorists" correct once more, and the whole pandemic scam was just a cover for political jiggery pokery on a global scale? .

If a similar change were made by other national governments, the official COVID death toll would be cut by a margin of greater than 90 per cent. This would collapse the whole narrative as the number of deaths in any nation would not even reach epidemic levels.

Don’t expect many others to follow suit though, given that governments, pharmaceutical corporations and the medical professions have invested (and sacrificed as it turns out,) so much credibility in hyping the the threat posed by the killer virus that only seems to kill people who are very old or already terminally ill.

However as an example of the effectiveness of propaganda, behavioral psychologists in the UK worked with the state to deliberately “exaggerate” the threat of COVID via “unethical” and “totalitarian” methods in order to terrify the public into mass compliance with the push to vaccinate everybody with 'vaccines' that do not immunise but have exceeded by many hundreds of times the number of deaths and adverse reactions at which any other new drug or vaccine would have been withdrawn on safety grounds.

And it worked.

A survey conducted after the first lockdown back in the spring of 2020 found that the average Brit believed 100 times more people had died from COVID than the official death toll. And as we now know, that official death toll was itself vastly exaggerated.

Now one nation at least has admitted that fraudulent data was used to fuel the pandemic scare, we hope people will at last understand that the official killed ‘by COVID’ and not ‘with COVID’ figure is less than one tenth what is officially reported as the total COVID death toll.

Despite the change, Italy may yet take the decision to make the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory, although how such a scheme would be implemented given the scale of resistance in Italy to vaccination, mask mandates and lockdowns, is hard to imagine.

Climate Hypocrites: 400 Private Jets Fly To Scotland For Save The Planet Climate Conference

The elitists currently gathered in Glasgow to yell at us about climate change and how we must all sit ans shiver as energy prices go stratospheric or drive pimped up golf trolleys are just total hypocrites.

These people who are flying in from all around the world to the COP 26 in their private jets and then motoring from the airport in motorcades of gas-guzzling limousines and SUVs are not here because they are concerned about the future but because they expect to shortly be making billions out of you and me from the new 'green' technologies being promoted as the fourth industrial revolutions. The reason they are investing in all this new green technology is not environmental concerns, it is pure and simple greed, the driving force behind everything these 'billionaire philanthropists do.

The bastards are pumping up the volume of the climate catastrophe narrative having softened us up with their 'deadly plague that doesn't kill very many people narrative,' because they hope to increase their own wealth and power and drive us long suffering taxpayers further towards a modern version of medieval serfdom. Why else would they all flying in? The members of this dysfunctional caste never do anything for any reason other than self interest. Look at how each philanthropic act by their "charitable founations" seems to increase their personal wealth and the values of their holdings exponentially.

What will be happening during the two weeks of COP26 that you will not see reported on television or in print news are the many meetings that will take place behind closed doors, in which deals between corporations, banks and government agencies will agree how our hard earnedf tax money will be handed out in order to benefit the banks, corporations and the bureaucrats.

And it's going to be me and you that will have to pay for this green revolution that when forensically scrutinsed turns out to be a load of brown, smelly stuff.

The $48 million private jet of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos arriving in Glasgow for the COP26 Climate Conference - Picture: Jamie Williamson, Daily Mail

COP26 is not about Climate Change, it never has been about it. Poor deluded Prince Charlie might think it is, little Greta Thunberg might think it is, but these congenital idiots are just dupes. The conference is about how the rich can get even richer off the backs of us.

Some of you will scoff at my words, because your believe big government is your best friends. Have you any idea how much money stolen from poor little you and the billions like you and me has been shovelled by Big Government into the coffers of Big Pharma to keep their COVID pandemic and Vaccine Messiah narrative afloat.? Have you any idea how much of our hard earned is paid by Big Government to Big Tech social media corporations in return or access to the personal data they steal from all of us?

You may smirk and call me a conspiracy theorist but remember my words when you come to buy your next car, and find how much cars have risen in price, or when you come to pay your next electricity bill and wince as you look at the bottom line because thanks to the irresponsible green policies of governments and the fake science of their climate science advisors, prices of raw energy are rocketing around the world.

And remember also your bill for domestic fuel is already inflated by 15% for the Climate Change Levy (CCL) which is used to fund generous subsidies for operators of 'sustainable' generating stations (wind and solar farms,) because these wonderful new, green technologies are not capable of working economically without subsidy. They cannot compete for efficiency with coal and gas.

Remember my warning when, in a few years, you come to buy a new boiler to heat your home and the only thing you will find available is a Heat Pump which is a glorified name for what is basically an Aircon Unit in rev(erse, prices start at £8,000 (about $10,400 or €9,200 at today's exchange rates,) plus installation costs and discover it will treble your annual electricity consumption should you be one of the lucky 20% whose home is suitable for this technology.

Remember my warnings when you sit in your cold living rooms.

For the UK alone this Green agenda that is in store for us all is going to cost £1 trillion. To fund the green revolution the government will borrow from glbal financial institutions, and pay interest of approximately £35 billion per year, which works out at around £550 per year for every living human being in our nation to the global financial institutions that hold our bonds.

WAKE UP EVERYBODY

Yes, do your bit for the environment, using less plastic, along with making sure we all have a clean environment to live in. sort your rubbish out, paper, plastic bottles and such like. Recycling produces as much in CO2 emissions as making new (the solution is to avoid single use materials bring in resusable packaging, make clothes last longer and do your own cooking, thus you avoid putting toxic shite in your body and all that excessive packaging in the environment.

Plant a few trees or shrubs if you have a garden, they're insect friendly and if you plant apple, plum, cherry or pear (or anything else appropriate to the area you live, in warm climates you may even be able to harvest your own oranges. Once you have planted these fruit trees or bushes in gardens or pots you have free fruit for life. and they are healthier

However always remember, that, no matter what rhetorical scaremongering you hear spouted by loony Prince Charlie, Greta Thunderrbird, politicians, celebrities, scientists and other opportunists we will never stop climate change or even slow it down. WHY? Because for the 20,000 years we have been in a warming period and are due for a cooling period.

That's how it works. And believe me when that does happen you won't want to be alive because the cold kills faster than warmth. How do you grow food? Go on give it a try this winter see how you get on.

Think about this if you doubt my words. Apart from political leaderrs, billionaires, politicians, a few Popes and Princes from around the world, it's usually Climate Scientists (whatever they are,)who attend these Climate Conferences along with Climate science students, people from Greenpeace and the Wildlife Fund and gullible people from Green political parties. So why have over 400 billionaires who have never given a shit about Climate change? along with their staff flown into Glasgow? Well I hope I've made my point clear by now. IT'S THE MONEY.

Cobalt mining in Africa - Environment friendly (Picture: autonews.com )

I'm all for looking after the environment but you never hear these Warmageddon cult converts talking about how many tons of bedrock have to be mined to produce one tone of cobalt (actually it's 1500 tons) then the orE has to be superheated, electrolysed and washed many times to separate and refine the cobalt, and the many kinds of toxic shite produced in or used by these processes is dumped in rivers, lakes and the sea.

Obtaining the few pounds of cobalt needed for an electric car's battery pack constitutes and ecological disaster for every car sold, so much so in fact that the whole process could not be carried out in the west which is why the stuff is mined in third world countries and processed in places like China and Russia where they con't give a flying fuck about COP26 or the Paris Accords or flat - face Thunberg.

But the elites are pushing electric cars because the sensible environmental laws of the past 30 or 40 ish years have resulted in mass produced cars being better built, cleaner running mor,e fuel efficient, and lasting a lot longer that the cars we were buying at the beginning of al this climate scaremongering.

The technology of electrics is a lot more opaque so planned obsolescence can be more easily built it. Soon our cars will be like our computers. The hardware will be good for many more years but we'll get told, sorry mate, your software is obsolete, it will cost more to upgrade than to buy a new car.

It's scams like that the elite use to fund their private jets and private islands. All the talk about saving the planet is bollocks, they're just grabbing more wealth and power for themselves.

As I have told you many times, Its bollocks my dears, all bollocks.

Reality Strikes Back

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,

The status quo response would be amusing if the consequences weren't so dire.

Rather than stare at empty shelves, you have two options for distraction: you can don a virtual-reality headset and cavort with dolphins in the metaverse, or you can trade various forms of phantom wealth that always go up (happy happy!) because the Fed.

Neither distraction actually solves any real-world problems, a reality we can call the Revenge of the Real World We've entered a peculiar phase in American history in which illusions of wealth and control are the favored distractions from the unraveling of the real world economy and social order.

Printing trillions of currency units can't restore the global supply chain or social cohesion, Rather, jacking phantom wealth to the moon is only accelerating the collapse of the social order and the economy even as it accomplishes absolutely nothing in terms of solving real-world problems.

Let's start with the core economic realities of the 21st century:

1. The number of high-consumption ("middle class") people doubled from 1 billion to 2 billion. The human populace has expanded to 7.9 billion individuals, but poor people who don't have enough money to consume large quantities of energy, goods and services delivered by the global supply chain don't have much of an impact on global consumption of energy and resources. It's the number of people jetting around the world playing their part in the landfill economy (toss the old one, buy a new one) who drive "growth" (i.e. waste is growth).

Strangely enough, there are actual physical limits to resources being transformed into junk being dumped in the landfills. Humanity's rapacious appetite for stuff has extracted all the cheap-to-extract resources and now all that's left are the increasingly expensive-to-extract resources.

2. Corporate America offshored most of the production of essentials to exploit the low labor and energy costs, minimal environmental standards and currency arbitrage of overseas production. The net result has been an astounding increase in corporate profits. ... Continue reading >>>

Swedish study finds covid jabs provide no lasting protection, ZERO immunity within months

by Dr. Dickie Hart, 1 November

Picture: Natural News

Like most of the other plandemic bullshit, the injections are not all that popular with the usually compliant Swedes. There is a good reason for that too. Sweden did not lockdown at the height of the pandemic even though the Sweedish public were bombarded with propaganda, orchestrated by the World Health Organisation and the World Economic Forum, promoting the lie that lockdowsa and mask mandates had worked elsewhere. Unfortunatel most Swedes speak very good English and were able to use English language websites to determine the true state of affairs around the world.

By the time experimental, untested vaccinese that had been rushed though the development process started to be rolled, many people in Sweden had lost all trust and confidence in the official pandemic narrative. \despite their following a different course early in the crisis the death rate in Sweden had defied the predictions of WHO doom mongers and was no higher that other nations in northern Europe. So when Researchers there determined that the shots are completely useless after seven months nobody was surprised.

But the case is actually worse than the jabs becoming ineffective after only a few months, the Swedish research also shows the temporary immunity the jabs provide for a few weeks actually goes negative after about seven months, leaving the recipient’s immune system weakened and more susceptible to viruses. Thus the vaxxed are worse off than before they got the clotshot.

The Swedish research replicates the conclusions of a British study published earlier in the year. In that case however, the research suggested that shots only provide about six weeks’ worth of fake immunity or perhaps we should say, reduced vulnerability as they don't actually stop people from getting COVID or passing it on.

Sweden was one of the few countries in the world to reject pretty much all of the plandemic hysteria and tyranny that was rolled out starting in early 2020. During that time, the country fared better than most other countries in terms of “cases,” hospitalizations and deaths and now is reaping an enormous economic bonus as a result of not shutting down most of their domestic economy for over half a year.

Human civilization could ‘collapse’ like Roman Empire if climate change not addressed, UK PM Boris Johnson warns

from RT, 30 Oct, 2021 11:05

Modern countries risk repeating the fate of the Roman Empire unless they urgently curb climate change, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has warned ahead of a major UN summit.

“This is our memento mori,” Johnson told Italian paper la Repubblica during a flight to a G20 meeting in Rome, Italy, using a Latin phrase meaning, ‘Remember that you will die’. The event takes place ahead of a major UN climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, known as COP26.

Heat Pumps - Exposing Boris' Lies About Net Zero Future

When Boris Johnson announced his great plan for taking the country to 'net zero' energy systems by 2050 the plan to replace our reliable, efficient gas boilers with heat pumps was greeted with childish overenthusiasm by some (the science fanboys,) and incredulous laughter by others, (the cynical pragmatists who know something about heat pumps. The government’s published Net Zero Strategy has triggered the the Green Blob to launched a barrage of propaganda designed to persuade the public of the merits of replacing gas boilers with heat pumps is not only practical but a great idea that will save us shedloads of money, (whenn I say 'The Green Blob' obviously I mean those of them who are not fully occupied with gluing their arses to the M25.) But it is not just a government seeking to earn 'greenie points' from the flat faced Swedish trollette Greta Thunberg and the people who want to drive us back to lifestyles of medieval deprivation with iPhones that are on board with this eco - friendly delusion.

A recent puff piece in the Daily Telegraph gave the impresion that heat pumps are the great new technology that will save the planet, repeating the oft quoted but unsubstantiated claim that they will reduce household energy costs. Unfortunately they are neither new nor very good, so if you currently have gas central heating or electric storabge heaters, claiming that heat pumps could save you money and heat your home just as efficiently is an outright lie.

The first thing people need to understand is that heat pumps are noisy ad expensive, have been around for nearly a hundred years and the technology is basically a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit in reverse.

Even proponents are forced to admit that installing an air sourced heat pump (ASHP) will cost a typical homeowner between £10,000 and £20,000, depending on the size of house. Ground source heat pumps work out much dearer still. This does not include the cost of extra insulation which most homes will need for heat pumps to work properly, which could easily run into several thousand pounds.

Because heat pumps, which run on electricity, essentially capture heat from the outside air via refrigerants, they are more energy efficient than conventional electric or gas heating. Think of an air conditioner or fridge in reverse. Over the year as a whole, ASHPs use about a third of the energy used in a gas boiler to produce the same amount of heat.

However, despite recent energy price hikes, electricity remains five times the price of gas. Consequently energy costs won’t fall, but will instead rise by about 60 per cent. This equates to roughly £300 pa for the average household. Approximately 20million homes have gas central heating, and for the vast majority costs will be much higher.

This is, of course, why the government is proposing to increase taxes on gas, via green taxes and the carbon tax, so that it ends up being dearer than the ridiculously expensive heat pump technology.

The point nobody is talking about, the elephant in the room as it were, is how effective heat pumps are at actually hearing a house. Studies conducted in northern Europe show that they cannot reach the same temperatures as has boilers - which is why you need HUGE radiators with tepid water running through them - and you need extra electric heating to get a decent hot bath. Air source heat pumps, the most popular type, fall woefully short of producing the level of energy needed to heat a home and are hideously expensive to install, about £18,000 on average by the time plumbing, radiators and wiring have been replaced is the official estimate, so Boris's offer of a £5000 grant is only a fraction of the cost. The alternative, ground source heat pumps, which draw heat from the soil are even more a non - starter.

Ground-source heat pumps are more reliable than air-source type (because the air temp changes much more than does subsoil temp.) Many British homes are quite unsuitable for ground source heat pump installation anyway. You need quite a big garden to draw the heat from, digging this up to install the system would be prohibitively expensive for most people and removing the heat from the soil during winter is not going to do the plants any good

In an interview with The Telegraph Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng the Business and Energy Secretary claimed that new green heating technology is 'still in its infancy' and as low emissions alternative to gas heating it has a long way to go. However he added that heat pumps were not "much worse" than the technology they are designed to replace. This is complete and utter bollocks, another case of a government minister with no knowledge at all of the subject most relevant to his portfolio.

In an interview with The Telegraph Kwarteng conceded that, while gas boilers had been "refined over many years ... heat pumps are still in their infancy". This is just wrong, the basic technology (heat exchangers linked to compressed gas circulators,) has been used in refrigeration for around 150 years while heat pumps have been in use for nearly a hundred. Like another green bong dream (a bong dream is like a pipe dream but uses a more potent intoxicant,) electric cars which first hit the road in 1839, there are very good reasons why heat pumps did not catch on and become the standard for home heating many decades ago.

But government ministers and their 'scientific' advisers are not much interested in facts so the demonstrable scientific truth that the new technology provides significantly less heat in homes than traditional boilers is being "exaggerated", Mr Kwarteng insisted (probably by those ubiquitous conspiracy theorists politicians and propagandists are always banging on about.)

Mr Kwateng doesn't think actually heat pumps are that much worse than boilers. He just thinks they they could be improved if there was more investment."

To this end the government plans to provide incentives to firms willing to invest in the UK production of heat pumps. There also needs to be investment in hydrogen fuel cells which will help the Government meet its target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to zero, as well as help to "drive economic growth", create new jobs, and bring down the costs of the technology, according to the government's published policy plans

It is gratifying to know the Energy Secretary admits that heat pumps are worse than gas boilers for warming up homes but what he fails to realise is, the well established and irrefutable laws of thermodynamics encoded by Isaac Newton a few years ago now, are totally against attempts trying to improve their performance to the extent they will become a viable alternative to gas. Heat pumps suck latent heat (energy) out of the air and transfer it via heat exchangers to gas contained in a cylinder. compressing this gas intensifies the heat which is then transferred to a water tank via another heat exchanger.

Another of Newton's laws rules that the energy (electricity) consumed by a heat pump will always exceed the energy (heat) produced by the heat pump, thus considerably increasing the demand for electricity as well as the cost to consumers to heat their homes.

For example, if we assume a typical annual gas consumption of 21,000 kw-hrs (at 3.5p/kw-hr) per household for heating by gas, a heat pump could reduce this energy consumption by a factor of 3 to 7,000 kw-hrs (at 21p/kw-hr) .

But, there is another issue here which the government and their 'scientific advisers (aka green blob enthusiasts,) are probably intentionally overlooking . The same typical household will consume around 2,000 kw-hrs of electricity annually for lighting, appliance, cooking etc. If this householder replaces his/her gas boiler with a heat pump, their overall electricity consumption will increase from 2,000 kw-hrs to 9,000 kw-hrs, an increase of a factor of 4.5 thereby doubling the cost of heating and domestic power for the householder.

Also, if the same householder replaces his ICE car with an electric car as we are told must happen in order for Boris to achieve his net zero pledge and get a gold star from Queen Greta, that car will consume a further 2,000 kw-hrs for an annual mileage of around 8,000 miles. So, the householder’s electricity consumption will now be 11,000 kw-hrs, an increase of 5.5 times what was originally consumed.

Such an increase of electricity use, if scaled up over the country, is totally unrealistic. How many wind farms and solar panels would have to be installed to meet this scaled up demand particularly when all the conventional power stations are being shut down and a nuclear power station construction programme has been effectively abandoned because the greenm bob's hatred of CO2 is only exceeded by their hatred of emission free nuclear energy generators. The National Grid electrical energy distribution system, already close to collapse due to ever increasing demand for electrical power, would have to be completely replaced to handle over 5 times the capacity it is currently designed to do, and the mains feed into every household would have to be upgraded. The government's green dream is totally unrealistic.

And just to hammer another nail into the coffin of Boris' 'net zero' bollocks, if hydrogen is being considered as an alternative energy resource to replace natural gas, guess what is needed to manufacture it? – Electricity, and copious amounts of it!!

Governments' obsession with climate pseudoscience over economically and social viable solutions is leading to disaster
The government's current obsession with pursuing the target of net zero carbon emissions in order to claim the UK leads the world in green wankery is more to do with virtue signalling that governing, but with the complicity of mainstream media, particularly The BBC, climate scaremongering is providing a convenient diversion from this governments abject failure to address and of the very real economic and social problems facing us.

New Renewable Energy Scam Attacks Our Human Rights

We have reported the great wind turbine scam and the solar panel scam many times before but have always been supportive of hydro electric schemes. It turns out we were wrong, so corrupting is the greed on big money, so tempting is the lure of taxpayers cash that even hydro electricity has been seduced by those who can't resist the tempation to steal from the public purse.
Has The Government Seen Sense On Wind Farms?

Too little too late, is the verdict of the brilliant Allister Heath on the Tories' near-non-existent recovery strategy. I'm 90 per cent with him. Like Allister, I believe that the Tory high command simply doesn't understand what radical action needs to be taken if there is to be any kind of meaningful economic recovery.
