One of the truly great voices coming out of the United Kingdom since March 2020 has been that of Jonathan Sumption -- or, Lord Sumption, former senior judge who sat on the Supreme Court of the UK from 2012 to 2018.
"The UK's public finances are in a worse state than at any time since the Second World War," Sumption just wrote, but Official Opinion wants to blame interest rates, Ukraine, or "just about anything other than the main culprit lurking in the background: the lockdowns of the last two years."
It's not hard to prove what he's saying, since "government expenditure associated with the pandemic has been by far the largest contributor to the current deficit."
People lazily blame "the pandemic" for all the problems we've faced since, but of course the problems are instead the results of the lockdowns themselves.
"Less than a quarter of the NAO’s figure represents the extra cost of health and social care," writes Sumption. "Most of the rest is the cost of supporting people prevented from working and businesses prevented from operating. At the height of the pandemic, the government was spending about twice as much per month on paying people to do nothing as the entire cost of the NHS."
In Sweden, meanwhile, which Sumption reminds everyone did not succumb to the madness, the per-person pandemic expenditure was one-tenth as great as the UK's. And "their results in terms of both cases and deaths were a lot better than ours."
"Excess deaths," he says, "are currently running at about 10 per cent above historic rates, almost all from conditions other than Covid. By far the biggest contributor is dementia, a condition aggravated by loneliness and lack of stimulation.
"The long-term impacts on education, inequality, relationship breakdown, sociability and the arts are harder to quantify but they are serious and will be felt for years to come."
Meanwhile, a million people have left the workforce. Sumption says these are mostly older people who simply gave up during the lockdowns.
This week our friend Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University, triumphed decisively in an Oxford-style debate at Gene Epstein's Soho Forum on the very same topic -- the lockdowns. (An Oxford-style debate has an objective winner: the audience is polled before and after the debate, and the winner is the person who changes more minds.) He'll be joining me tomorrow on the Tom Woods Show to discuss it.
Despite the manifest harms (and uselessness) of the lockdowns, you know for a fact what the establishment is going to try to do. The official narrative will be that the "experts" who locked us down deserve credit for saving eleventy bajillion lives.
We are expected to accept the Official Version of Events, or face banishment from polite society.
But this isn't anything new; from the moment we set foot in the regime's schools, we're being hit with propaganda -- sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious -- designed to persuade us of the official narrative. When no other perspective is offered, it's no wonder so many people reflexively accept what they're told.

The Cubic lattice appears to be the universal Paternal constant of mathematical construction of Maternal mass,
matter and ultimately, form.
"The Cube of Space is an occult concept that was invented by the prominent occultist Paul
Foster Case. The Cube of Space associates the three axes of the cube, the center point of the
cube, the six sides of the cube, and the twelve edges of the cube, with the 22 letters of the
hebrew alphabet. The Cube of Space is based upon two verses in the proto-kabbala text called the Sepher Yetzirah.

Today, we're diving deep into the findings of the Select Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic report, a moderately comprehensive document that sheds light on the origins, missteps, and long-term implications of the pandemic response. While we find much to discuss—and critique—within its pages, this report is another crucial entry into the growing library of work highlighting the urgent need for accountability and reform.
Together, we'll explore its insights and use them to advocate for a future where overreach, mismanagement, and infringements on our fundamental rights are not tolerated. This conversation is vital to ensuring that the lessons of the past guide us toward a more just and resilient tomorrow.

Congressmen Scalise and Comer, Members of the Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, Ladies and Gentlemen.
My name is Steven Quay and I am honored to speak at this forum. I am a physician-scientist with over 360 publications on a wide range of topics in science and medicine. I have 87 issued patents in 22 different fields of medicine, including the chemistry of RNA drugs like the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. I have invented seven FDA-approved medicines that have been used by millions of people worldwide.

I appreciate the non-partisan approach the Subcommittee is taking today. Clearly, science in the last few years, but especially on topics related to the COVID pandemic, has been coopted by geopolitics. Thus, I am here, not as a mouthpiece for any political party, but as an American scientist.
I dedicate my testimony today to the more ...
Through the science and laws of quantum non-locality, we are ALWAYS connected, regardless of time or space, and all life taps into their own universal mind called morphogenetic fields, and when a lifeform returns to the field, our morphic resonance with them grows even stronger, even to the point of DIRECT quantum communication when we regularly cultivate periods of stillness and quiet, in silent darkness and forms of meditation/prayer.
So in other words, we recieve more help from them after their "metamorphosis" than we ever could while they were focused in the physical.
If humanity did not suffer from this fear of death as a collective, resulting from a purely militant skeptic, materialistic, atheist world view imposed by our academic Institutions, then we would no longer have its psychological result, being militant religio-zealous fundamentalis running around imposing its doctrine, resulting from a deep seated longing for truth.
By walking the line between these two concepts of reality, are ...
