  • Dr. Katrin Korb on COVID-19

    German Medical Doctor Katrin Korb – Speech /Transcript May 2020

    Dear fellow citizens,

    I’m thankful for being able to stand here today. My name is Katrin Korb, I have 3 children and I’m a doctor here in Oldenburg.

    I’m standing here because I fell the responsibility for the health of my parents, my children and myself.

    I stand here because I am furious about the attempts to get more control over the people, by attacking them with fear. I am not sure what happens exactly, though I’m sure it has to do with money and power.

    Firstly, I recognize this principle. It’s the principle of our health-care system! A system which unfortunately is guilty of spreading fear in order to earn money. This fear is on both our sides, my side as a doctor, but also my patients.

    There are guidelines I have to follow, guidelines for various health problems. But who is writing these guidelines?

    I will give you an example: There is a European guideline for heart diseases. There are 25 different authors who draft these guidelines, 19 of which are funded by the pharmaceutical industry. They call it an ‘advisory fee’. The guidelines state that I must prescribe medications that have a lot of side effects but that do not make people better. This makes a lot of money. If I don’t follow these guidelines and something happens to these people; For example, the situation is deteriorating for whatever reason, then I will be held responsible for that. So, fear is cultivated so that I have to act against my professional beliefs.

    The sick people are also frightened; ‘if you do not take these pills you will have a heart attack”. Then you will become even more sick than now”. “Listen to me; I can know, I studied for it.” “You are not sensible enough to think for yourself”. “There is therefore no room to discuss this.”

    As a result, people fear taking this medication day after day, week to week, year to year, which makes a lot of money. That’s the way.

    Since the beginning of this corona virus, we have been kept in a kind of shock state with frightening messages. Our governments say there is a new virus so terribly dangerous that millions will die, if we don’t protect you! “We know best what is good for because we have the experts.” You cannot make a decision for yourself. You are too stupid for that. ”We have to isolate you, take away your rights and silent you by putting on a muzzle. But we really do this for your protection”. “We frighten you so much every day through the most horrible reports that you won’t even dare to ask yourself if it’s all right”.

    The mantra of the authorities is: Only when we have a vaccination can we return to “a normal”.

    In other words, only a vaccination can give us back our fundamental rights.

    This week, Mrs. von den Leyen (EU) has collected E 7.4 billion worldwide for the development and distribution of such a vaccine. Also Germany has paid E525,000. Normally, the development of such a vaccination takes years. That’s because security investigations need to be done.

    This new virus from the corona family was discovered less than six months ago but experiments with “MRNA” are already being tried on humans. This is unknown genetic material that will be injected into our cells. You don’t have to be a doctor to get an ominous felling about this. I will not be vaccinated, I will not get my children vaccinated, and I will also advise my patients not to do this!

    Paragraph Two of the Constitution does NOT specify: RIGHT TO HEALTH but right to physical integrity. That is a very big difference. So there is no right to health!

    Being sick is part of our human life, but no one should inflict physical harm on us even with a dubious vaccine.

    We are the ones paying for this. We already pay for the scientific and social impact of the lockdowns. OUR TAX MONEY is spent for this. And a vaccine must be financed with our tax money! Already E 525 million German tax money and this is only the beginning. Are we being asked if we want to do this? Are we asked if we want to pay for Lockdowns? NO!

    All this money, the taxes we’ve paid, we want that to be spent on other things. For good education for our children, for the development of new technologies for the environment, for decent wages for employees in our “vital” professionals. For immigration of people who fled for the war. For sports, culture, etc., etc… This list is endless. In short, for things that make and keep people healthy. But with this no money can be made.

    We are in a crisis. What is the way out of this crisis?

    The victory over fear is the way out of this crisis.

    People who can think for themselves, being creative, take responsibility for themselves working on their own health and the health of our world. People who are positive, who have friends, who enjoy life, do not get sick easily. And if they do get sick, they eventually unite with death. Knowing that life in this world will ever end and are at peace with it. You can’t scare these kinds of people. You have no power over these people.

    This body has only been borrowed and someday I will have to give it back. But as long as I live in this body, as long as I fell, think and act, it will be MY body! I am responsible for that and no one else. MY BODY, which I treat in the way I think is right.

    I do not wish to return to the old normal. I wish for a new better normal. With free and self-determined people, who are responsible for themselves. I believe many of us are here together with the same wish.

    This gives me hope and I thank you.

  • THE USA TODAY

    by Ian Baldwin (Vermont Independent)

    The basic situation here is the two Americas. Two CLASSES (yes, classes). On one side, the college-educated and post-grad professionals who make up the software developer and digital engineering class, the media class (all of it, on every layer and in every sector of it), the government bureaucrat and legislator class, the lawyer and medical class, the management class, the university professor class, in short all the folk who do just fine thank you, armed with their laptops, during a politically driven “Lockdown.”

    On the other side of the Great American Divide are the folk who do farming, manual labor (construction, etc.), services, hair salons, trucking, hauling, electrical and plumbing repair, small retail either as owner-operators or employees, gas station operators and mechanics, small grocers and cafe owner-operators, people who depend on way or another on living—not virtual—walk-in customers, etc. Included in this class are the low-wage workers of the “winners” of the Lockdown Covid crisis, all the people working in low-level-functionary jobs for Walmart, Amazon, and other giant retail operations that directly benefit from Lockdown.

    The hatred that lofts over the heads of these two camps, which, like electricity itself, rides on polarity, that hatred is deep and out-of-control. The battery for it resides within the professional classes. Which class hires professional anarchists or hit men to fan the flames of the other is a subject for investigation. But a man like Soros is very very good at this dirty work. 

    Whatever. The specter of totalitarianism, however, resides with the educated classes—an exact reversal of 1917. The “educated” of course form the “liberal” and now liberal totalitarian Democratic Party, and more specifically its ugly DNC head. They are urban and ostensibly urbane. More exactly they are cosmopolitan: they firmly believe the world is their oyster. They relate to their exact counterparts in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central, South and East Asia far easier and more naturally than they do with the untervolk of their own country.

    The main point is privilege has been expanded over many decades to include most people who describe themselves as educated, especially professionally educated, who are then employed with laptops in a wide variety of “professions.” But by itself this does not explain the depth of the hatred these people have come ineluctably to feel for all those who live on the other side of their sunny side of the street. Hilary named them: the deplorables.

    The educated professional classes work for—get their money from—specific deep, structural class interests. For abbreviation’s sake, the Fortune 500. Now the Fortune 500 are not new entities. Some existed when Marx wrote Das Capital. They were then, and have always been, globalists. After 150+ years of global growth they want to bury the nation-state and the “international” nation-state system. And now they have a big constituency: all the non-deplorables of the world.

    The reason they, the globalist class leadership, are desperate (to put it mildly) to rid themselves of Trump no later than January 2121, is that Trump’s put the brakes on their world-governance project. This is now a fight to the death.

  • Brexit Matters: What Next?

    SOURCE: Kalypso Nicolaïdis

    On February 1, I joined the wonderful France24 team which came from Paris to cover it all from London’s Westminster Tower (see backdrop). Back to back French and English of course. I will continue, as with the last three years working with F24, to try both to explain but also to argue for a more constructive, gentler Brexit. Joined by Femi Oluwole, spokesman for the next generation, anti-Brexit activist who co-founded  “Our future Our choice”.  And by two Brexiters Alex Story, from “Leave EU Business group” and CEO of a property company and former Brexit Party MEP, Ben Habib — envers et contre tout, we must continue to listen to each other’s stories.  In English with Katherine Nicholson: https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20200201-au-revoir-europe-britain-heads-uncharted-waters-leaves-eu and in French, with journalist Caroline de Camaret: https://www.france24.com/fr/europe/20200201-brexit-le-d%C3%A9but-de-la-fin

  • Eugenics and Boris Johnson

    Warning from Jacky Peacock: This is what happens when right-wing elite politicians get to run a country.

    Comment from W.H.: Is woke policy on abortions and homosexuality anything other than a different way of serving the same population reduction agenda? As for equality, it is a desideratum, not a reality. To make issues like this party political is to promote divide-and-rule. It would be good for people on both sides of issues like this to curb their passions and calm down. Or stop feigning indignation. Party politicising is not the only way to express disagreement.
