I’m back, as barbed and angry as ever! X(

Current book is this fine work;

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/580 ... te-of-fear

Following my unpleasant experience with a previously unknown and unidentified Ninja Mutant strain of Covid1984 type malaise, I am returning to lob some very heavy stones into the calm pool of complacency which is O-N.

I took part in the London Anti-Lockdown protest march today, as a result of which my faith and hope in the biped species was greatly restored.

True to form in today’s Stasi world, the video of the march cannot be reposted, anyone here who really cares about the current shitshow will find somewhere adequate video evidence of the event, which may have been dressed up as the anti-Tory, pro-Palestinian and anti-everything-else event starring Jeremy Corbyn, in which I was not a participant.

I recall in an earlier post, before I shipped off to the fever hospital, I coined the phrase “Hands, Face, Arse”, which following Handycock’s tragic departure from the scene seemed strangely prescient, in view of the unexpurgated version of the infamous video, the full version of which is available somewhere from that highly unreliable source but when I attach the URL it yields the inevitable black screen etc.

If interested parties can access that footage, please note the body language of his illicit bit of fluff as he lunges forward to inject some spike protein into the unfortunate lass! =))

P N, you asked "BM, is this the footage?"

Yes, bang on there and enjoyed Steve Coogan's voiceover.

But I still think her body language displays a certain reluctance to remain at such close quarters.

Maybe he's had a Vindaloo or garlic bread at lunchtime and it was a bit too close for the specified social distancing of 1.5 cms or 15 cms or was it 1.5 metres?

I never did like the Frog system of measurement. :-q

Virus Mania: Corona/COVID-19, Measles, Swine Flu, Cervical Cancer, Avian Flu, SARS, BSE, Hepatitis C, AIDS, Polio, Spanish Flu. How the Medical ... Making Billion-Dollar Profits At Our Expense Paperback – April 22, 2021

The book 'Virus Mania' has been written with the care of a master-craftsman, courageously evaluating the medical establishment, the corporate elites and the powerful government funding institutions." Wolfgang Weuffen, MD, Professor of Microbiology and Infectious Epidemiology "The book 'Virus-Wahn' can be called the first work in which the errors, frauds and general misinformations being spread by official bodies about doubtful or non-virus infections are completely exposed."
Gordon T. Stewart, MD, professor of public health and former WHO advisor - - - The population is terrified by reports of so-called COVID-19, measles, swine flu, SARS, BSE, AIDS or polio. However, the authors of "Virus Mania," investigative journalist Torsten Engelbrecht, Dr. Claus Köhnlein, MD, Dr. Samantha Bailey, MD, and Dr. Stefano Scoglio, BSc PhD, show that this fearmongering is unfounded and that virus mayhem ignores basic scientific facts: The existence, the pathogenicity and the deadly effects of these agents have never been proven.
The book "Virus Mania" will also outline how modern medicine uses dubious indirect lab tools claiming to prove the existence of viruses such as antibody tests and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The alleged viruses may be, in fact, also be seen as particles produced by the cells themselves as a consequence of certain stress factors such as drugs. These particles are then "picked up" by antibody and PCR tests and mistakenly interpreted as epidemic-causing viruses. The authors analyze all real causes of the illnesses named COVID-19, avian flu, AIDS or Spanish flu, among them pharmaceuticals, lifestyle drugs, pesticides, heavy metals, pollution, malnutrition and stress.
To substantiate it, the authors cite dozens of highly renowned scientists, among them the Nobel laureates Kary Mullis, Barbara McClintock, Walter Gilbert and Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet as well as microbiologist and Pulitzer Prize winner René Dubos, and it presents more than 1,400 solid scientific references. The topic of "Virus Mania" is of pivotal significance.
Drug makers and top scientists rake in enormous sums of money and the media boosts its audience ratings and circulations with sensationalized reporting (the coverage of the "New York Times" and "Der Spiegel" are specifically analyzed).The enlightenment about the real causes and true necessities for prevention and cure of illnesses is falling by the wayside. For more reviews, see the older edition of "Virus Mania".

Definition of cui bono
1 : a principle that probable responsibility for an act or event lies with one having something to gain
2 : usefulness or utility as a principle in estimating the value of an act or policy

For the many who embrace climate change as a progressive cause, watch in the coming years for who benefits, cui bono.

"Bombshell - Bobby Kennedy killed Marilyn Monroe" by a retired member of the LAPD (substantiated facts, page after page, and its a wonder nobody has bumped the author off) on Kindle.

Read one similar, looks like this one is just out.
Too bad all this came out so long after most all of the players, Bobby, JFK, Peter Lawford, etc. were all gone.

That Russian / Soviet anthem sends tingles through me - unlike our pedestrian God Save the Queen.

A book about life on a little Greek island
=)) Very funny Probes, the question is are you now reading it in your language or not?

The trouble with Kindle here is even if we could get one the download would be difficult if not impossible. The book that Probes refers to is now on Kindle. The Royalties are peanuts :((
Are you suggesting you got nothing of the huge Kindle fee I paid for your book Ex-Ascot... ;)))

Only kidding, I am aware of the Kindle swindle, not good for authors...

Sometimes the best course of action is just to ridicule the claims. Bumping off the messenger just makes it more credible.

Read the book. Hard to disbelive, especially if you know the old LA scene and Hollywood. I had a Mr Fixit in Huntington Beach there for years, he used to pop down and get legal paperwork done by the Courts in Mexico, suddenly disappeared, and I never heard what happened.

Sample: There was a chill, something of the night about LAPD Chief William Parker. Before he went into television and established himself by creating Star Trek, LAPD Sergeant Gene Roddenberry had worked with Parker and said he modelled Mr. Spock on him
