Stigmatisation and dehumanisation of the unvaccinated

The world has indeed been hypnotized into a state of mass psychosis, says Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet

“You know you’ve entered a twilight zone of insanity when a police officer tells you you’re a criminal simply because you’re unvaccinated. That’s exactly what happened the other day in Germany. The police officer insisted the unvaccinated man was “a murderer” because he “might infect someone,” and that he’s “not a human.””

Mass Formation Psychosis

The inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology on the state of the world

One of the most trustworthy people in the whole pandemic must be Robert W. Malone MD. He is no-one less than the inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology.

However, he has fallen out of favour with the powers that be, because he has, as Monica Showalter puts it in a recent article on “American Thinker”,

pointed out that many of the more insane and counterproductive public health measures going around have been brought on by conflicts of interest and a revolving door between medical researchers, Big Pharma, and public health officials. Profit motives are quite operative.

For that sin, he has now been banned on Twitter, and searches for him on Google are biased against him.

On his own website, Malone prominently states:

As the original “inventor” of mRNA and DNA vaccines … I am concerned about how the technology is being developed and implemented.

And now, someone has compiled a very effective video of a talk he recently gave on where Malone thinks the world is heading. In short, the world is in what he calls a “mass formation psychosis”. It’s a bit frightening, but, as he points out, not all is lost.

The unbearable smugness of the Netflix elites

'Don’t Look Up' is a preposterous movie that is wrong about everything.

Brendan O’Neill has written a devastating critique of a film I hadn’t even heard about before I saw his article. However, it’s important to know about it because it appears to exemplify how not only “the media” tries very hard to influence our thinking, and not only the big tech companies try very hard to keep us shielded from information and opinions that could change our thinking away from what the media wants us to think. It exemplifies how very hard, and very crudely, the entertainment industry tries to influence our thinking as well – instead of simply entertaining us.

Here’s O’Neill’s summary of his article:

Don’t Look Up sums up the unbearable smugness of the Netflix elites, of those West and East Coast cultural movers and shakers who see it as their responsibility to ‘raise the awareness’ of the little people. The makers of this movie really have convinced themselves that they are brave soothsayers who risk being collared by the CIA and capitalism itself for their reckless propagation of The Truth, when in reality they themselves are the new corporate elites who exercise an extraordinary amount of influence over public life in the 21st century. These days, it isn’t ‘denialism’ that is the problem – it’s catastrophism, the view of everything, especially climate change, as a calamity that our hubristic species has brought upon itself. That is the elite consensus opinion right now and, not surprisingly, Netflix, the cultural embodiment of the new elites, is riddled with this decadent, indulgent End of Days hysteria.

Do not be afraid

The most frequently repeated commandment in the Bible

In this time of fearmongering, it is important to remind oneself that God loves us and wants our best. Especially at a time when we are stepping into the unknown.

I recently discovered the hymn with this title, Do Not Be Afraid. Here, it is sung and presented most beautifully by the singer Marilla Ness. The hymn is based on Isaiah 43.

Happy New Year.

Rendering to Caesar what is God’s

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Manchester

Justin Welby, the current Archbishop of Canterbury and thus the leader of the world-wide Anglican community, has said that “turning down the jab [anti-covid vaccine] violates the principle of “loving thy neighbour””.

No hint of a sense of 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20, which goes like this:

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies.

Regarding the Archbishop’s pronouncement, Breitbart Europe reports:

Responding to the pronouncement, Church of England curate Jamie Franklin told Breitbart London: “I think the archbishop’s comments betray a total lack of understanding of the objections to the COVID-19 vaccine which include safety concerns, concerns about the use of aborted foetal tissue in the development of said vaccines, and concerns about the use of coercion, scapegoating and persecution of those who are deemed to be non-compliant.

“The archbishop also appears completely unconcerned about the emergence of a biosecurity state in which the government has arrogated to itself the power to mandate medical treatments for its citizens, thereby fundamentally altering the nature of the relationship between the individual and the state,” Franklin added.

The Church of England curate, who hosts the Irreverend podcast, went on to say: “Many people are finding it more and more difficult to believe in the narrative pedalled by the government and corporate media and are wondering what on earth is going on.

“The archbishop’s comment do not address any of these concerns and his repeated use of the phrase love your neighbour’ is a misnomer in this context.”

Here is a study from 30th April 2021 showing that there are “breakthrough cases”. That the vaccine does not protect against infection or transmission. The ABC should have known this by December, and probably did.

The other leading churchman who recently got Christian faith disastrously wrong is David Walker, the Bishop of Manchester. On “Thought for the Day” today on the BBC Radio 4 Today program, he said that he had cancelled a number of Christmas events (I paraphrase from memory) “not to protect the attendees, who would have been healthy and strong, but someone who wouldn’t have attended, living far away, maybe on the other side of the world.”

Let me translate this: “In order to stop dying, we must stop living.”

It sounds to me very much like the promise of the serpent in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:4): “You will not certainly die . . . you will be like God.”

Two men who found faith in the pandemic

They saw the evil in the response, and thus turned to God

Two recent podcasts show that we are living in a time of revelation. In these two (unrelated) podcasts, we meet two men of relatively high standing, highly educated and intelligent. One is a journalist called James Delingpole, the other a professor of propaganda studies and media studies at New York University, called Mark Crispin Miller.

In a podcast with Church of England curate (the “Irreverend“) Jamie Franklin, James Delingpole confesses that, during the pandemic, Jamie led James to God. (Listen here, start at 30 minutes in.)

In a podcast with the American historian Tom Woods, professor Miller also confesses that he has come to faith, and specifically says that this was due to what he saw as the evil behind much of the measures against an objectively not very dangerous virus. At about 40 percent in (I can’t see the exact times, sorry), Miller says (my transcription): “This dystopian experience has really moved me spiritually, and I’m not the only person who once identified as leftist who feels this way now. I believe we’re all experiencing . . . we’re all but coming face to face with evil. I think this is a profoundly evil project. I think this is a eugenicist project. I think its authors are after absolute and permanent control and a radically reduced world population.”

The Star of Bethlehem

The likely truth behind it, and what it means for us today

Due to technological progress it is now possible to see more or less exactly what our ancestors saw in the night sky at any time of any year from any vantage point on earth. Computer programs allow us to see this in real time animation, or sped up, or slowed down. We can “zoom in” and “out” to individual stars, planets or constellations, as if we were looking through a telescope.

This has for some years now opened up the exiting possibility of studying in minute detail what was happening in the heavens in the years and months just prior to the birth of Christ. Was there something extraordinary happening that could have prompted “wise men” to go looking for a “new-born king of the Jews” (see the Gospel of Matthew 2:1-2)?

It turns out, indeed there was.

Before I explain further, some relevant personal background.

“Pathologized Totalitarianism 101”

A good summary of what is going on in the world around Covid

“So, GloboCap has crossed the Rubicon. The final phase of its transformation of society into a pathologized-totalitarian dystopia, where mandatory genetic-therapy injections and digital compliance papers are commonplace, is now officially underway.”

Two short statements on Christianity

Star Wars and Western Civilisation

In a recent dialog between Jordan Peterson and Angus Fletcher, who is a Professor of Story Science at Ohio State’s Project Narrative, the world’s leading academic think-tank for narrative theory.

(Fletcher says he is interested in “how stories work in the brain”. He got his PhD from Yale. Apparently, according to Fletcher, all sorts of institutions are very interested in the research of his project, it is “backed” by leading neuroscientists and psychologists, doctors, nurses, social workers. Fair enough. But he also mentions as backers: big business, the US army, the special operations community, the air force. Why in the world would they be interested in “narrative theory”? I have ideas, but won’t speculate here.)

Anyway, two short statements stood out, both made by Jordan Peterson:

  1. Star Wars is “Christianity for atheistic nerds”. It’s “inescapable”.
  2. Christianity provides the narrative that forms the cultural foundation of western civilisation. (This latter is quoted from memory and may be paraphrased, as I didn’t bother writing it down at the time.)

The Tower of Babel and the Remnant

An update on the spiritual battle we are currently in

Two articles on lewrockwell.com today, highlighting two aspects of current spiritual reality in the world.

One of them, “A comment on comments” by Bionic Mosquito, says that Christians need to urgently set priorities and put their theological differences to one side:

I am sitting on a few comments to the recent posts that focus on the coming apart of Christendom, and am not sure I will post these.  I am finding these destructive, not constructive.  I do not like the mudslinging between traditions.

We need to concentrate now on the common enemy, for

. . . the world is coming apart, and our liberties are being crushed – and this has accelerated in the last twenty months.  Only one institution can turn this tide [he means the universal Christian Church], and the vast majority of the official representatives of this institution have failed completely – if not, in fact, are in service to the enemy.

There is a remnant, to be found out of each tradition, that sees and understands this.  The battle this remnant faces is captured in Ephesians 6:12, and I have best described it here.

In other words: We, the Remnant, need to hold together, whatever our other differences, in the face of the rising chaos instigated by the spiritual enemy.

The other, “Have we finally reached peak Davos?“, by Thomas Luongo, appears to see some light at the end of the chaos tunnel we are currently in, even though he makes it clear that he thinks the chaos will first deepen before things get better.

He writes:

So, let’s start with the obvious. Places like Austria, Australia, and even Italy will not go along with [tyrannical Covid measures such as a vaccine mandate]. The sizes of the protests grow daily and as the desperation on both sides grows any further attempts at control will be met with violence, regrettably. 

He thinks that the current attempt to create a “New World Order”, to unite the world under one government ruling a population cowed by the fear of death to follow the orders of a supposedly benevolent elite, is finally cracking:

Have we reached Peak Davos? I think we have but that doesn’t mean things get better from here, only that this is as much pressure as they can bring to bear and it will either work or it will be clear that it will fail, albeit very messily.

In this context, it is worth quoting Ephesians 6:12 here:

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
