Yesterday Paula Jardine mentioned the background to the lockdown coverage in the course of the Covid pandemic. At present she highlights the attainable hyperlinks with plans to regulate the worldwide inhabitants through digital surveillance below the pretext of public well being issues.
THE World Well being Organisation declared the primary Public Well being Emergency of Worldwide Concern (PHEIC) below the 2005 Worldwide Well being Laws on April 26, 2009 in response to H1N1 swine flu, upgrading it to pandemic standing in June.
The late Labour MP Paul Flynn and an assortment of European Parliamentarians together with the respiratory marketing consultant Dr Wolfgang Wodarg spoke out in responseabout the WHO’s ‘mishandling’ of this ‘pandemic’ and profiteering by the pharmaceutical firms.
‘They [WHO] frightened the entire world with the chance {that a} main plague was on the way in which,’ mentioned Flynn. ‘The results of that was that the world spent billions and billions of kilos on vaccines and anti-virals that may by no means be used. It’s big waste of cash.’
By 2009, many different measures linked to the NeoCon submit 9/11 Conflict on Terror agenda had been attracting criticism within the UK on civil liberties grounds. The Liberal Democrat MP Chris Huhne known as out the creeping authoritarianism of the Blair authorities saying, ‘Now we have sleepwalked right into a surveillance state with out critical debate and with out ample safeguards. The federal government’s infatuation with social management exhibits that it has misunderstood the teachings of George Orwell’s 1984, which was a warning, and never a blueprint. We aren’t but dwelling below the Stasi, however we live in a rustic whose proud liberal historical past is below menace.’
The ‘mitigation’ measures devised and promoted by Dr Richard Hatchett, the chief govt of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI).have disrupted the worldwide financial system and provide chains in a means unprecedented outdoors wartime, ruining small companies, nationwide well being methods and the training of hundreds of thousands of kids, whereas concurrently enriching multi-national firms. The Economist lately warned of ‘the approaching meals disaster’.
In gentle of the characterisation by Hatchett of the Covid pandemic as a watershed resulting in a ‘very, very, completely different world’, the connection of the person and by extension CEPI, the organisation he leads, with the NeoCon coverage agenda set in movement after the September 11, 2001 outrage within the coronary heart of Manhattan requires higher scrutiny.
Publicly, Hatchett says CEPI is an initiative of world public well being authorities with Sir Jeremy Farrar of the Wellcome Belief and Invoice Gates taking credit score for being its co-founders. However was Hatchett, the person invited to run CEPI in 2017, the brains behind and instigatorof the concept?
In 2016 Hatchett, then the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and Deputy Director of BARDA (Biomedical Superior Analysis Growth Authority), a US authorities company centered on defending the homeland in opposition to bioterrorism, spoke at an American Nationwide Academy of Sciences workshop on Fast Medical Countermeasure Responses to Infectious Ailments.
He argued {that a} lesson from the West African Ebola epidemic of 2013-16, which had fizzled out naturally earlier than a vaccine was authorised, was that ‘responding to rising infectious illnesses have to be institutionalised as one thing that the federal government values, such that it sufficiently organises, funds, and conducts preparedness and response actions. This might want to contain authorities partnership with trade companions, and ideally, engagement of world companions’. The workshop report ‘likened the extent of organisation and dedication (together with funding) wanted for such an endeavour to that of the Manhattan Challenge’ (after America’s World Conflict II programme to construct an atomic bomb).
As Dominic Cummings mentioned in his parliamentary testimony final 12 months, CEPI’s Covid vaccine plan was additionally talked about as a ‘Manhattan’ mission.
‘What Invoice Gates and folks like that mentioned to me and others at No 10 was, “That you must consider this rather more like among the basic programmes of the previous – the Manhattan Challenge in World Conflict Two or the Apollo programme – and construct all of it in parallel”,’ mentioned Cummings. ‘In regular Authorities accounting phrases, that’s fully loopy, as a result of if nothing works out you will have spent actually billions constructing all this stuff up, and the top result’s nothing – you get zero for it, it’s all waste. What Invoice Gates and folks and Patrick Vallance and his group had been saying was that the precise anticipated return on that is so excessive that even when it does turn into all wasted billions, it’s nonetheless a great gamble ultimately.’
The proof is pointing to a really unhealthy, extremely reckless and pointless gamble.
The Bush-era NeoCon imaginative and prescient for America wasbuilt on the defence technique formulated by Defence Secretary Cheney in the course of the Bush Sr administration and set out in a 1992 coverage paper, described as ‘a blueprint for sustaining US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great-power rival, and shaping the worldwide safety order in keeping with American ideas and pursuits.’
The September earlier than 9/11, the NeoCon assume tank Challenge for the New American Century (PNAC) revealed an replace known as Rebuilding America’s Defences (RAD), articulating a imaginative and prescient of a ‘international pax-Americana’ that ‘will need to have ‘a safe basis on unquestioned US navy pre-eminence’. With the Chilly Conflict over, the NeoCon goal was to reshape American strategic capabilities to attain what they known as Full Spectrum Dominance (FSD).
The scope of their ambition was for American dominance in each theatre attainable, land, air, sea, house and our on-line world. RAD itself turned the blueprint for the George W Bush administration’s defence coverage, significantly its muscular post-9/11 iteration, the ‘Conflict on Terror’. The late Labour MP Michael Meacher recognised the hazard on this agenda and spoke out in regards to the creeping authoritarianism in 2003, calling the Conflict on Terror ‘bogus’.
The NeoCons had been within the potential to develop digital fingerprints to establish safety threats. A Cambridge-based firm known as Autonomy was contracted to assist. Corporations Home data present that US NeoCon stalwart Richard Perle turned a director and marketing consultant in March 2000 whereas he was a member of the US Protection Coverage Board. He was additionally a shareholder.
The PNAC RAD paper recognized management of house and our on-line world as essential coverage. It mentioned, ‘A lot as management of the excessive seas – and the safety of worldwide commerce – outlined international powers previously, so will management of the brand new “worldwide commons” be a key to world energy sooner or later. An America incapable of defending its pursuits or that of its allies in house or the “infosphere” will discover it tough to exert international political management.’
The Widespread Go, a digital well being app linked to digital finance launched by the Commons Challenge Basis to ‘assist nations safely reopen borders throughout and after the Covid-19 pandemic’ is backed by the World Financial Discussion board, the Tony Blair Institute for International Change and funded by the Rockefeller Basis.
How a lot simpler wouldn’t it be to attain Full Spectrum Dominance of our on-line world if each final individual on earth may very well be tracked for all times through a singular identifier quantity? Simply such a singular identification quantity was proposed in 2010 within the International Vaccine Motion Plan. Distinctive digital identifiers required to make such a standard go workable make simpler work of making ‘digital fingerprints’ whereas advances in AI make deciphering the information far simpler than it was 20 years in the past.
The World Financial institution started selling biometric digital identification toolkits in 2014, citing as one justification the necessity to establish every particular person for vaccination functions. ID2020, an alliance based by the Rockefeller Basis, GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, Microsoft, Accenture and Ideo, campaigns for ‘safe’ digital identification. Peruse its web site and the hyperlink between digital identification and well being passes monitoring vaccination data is instantly obvious. Final week Authorities Digital Providers, a part of the Cupboard Workplace, introduced multi-year multi-million pound contracts linked to verification of digital identification and biometrics with two firms Iproov and InnoValor.
In 2002, the New York Occasions reported on a mission known as Whole Info Consciousness. The Pentagon was to construct a supercomputer to detect terrorism threats by means of an unlimited digital dragnet that hoovered up and saved indefinitely each piece of knowledge on the market. It was backed by DARPA (Protection Superior Analysis Initiatives Company), the identical company that funded Moderna in 2013 to develop its mRNA platform to be used in opposition to infectious illnesses.
The US Whole Info Consciousness supercomputer got here partially on-line in 2013. It sits within the Utah desert outdoors the city of Bluffdale like an enormous Demise Star, requiring 65 gigawatts of energy and diverting as much as 1.7million gallons of water every day to run the cooling system. In 2014, Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the size and the intrusiveness of the US authorities’s warrantless home surveillance programme known as PRISM. Actually the scope of the NeoCon imaginative and prescient of American energy projection was to create perpetual international pre-eminence. The surveillance programme extends past US borders.
Within the decade that adopted 9/11, the Conflict on Terror didn’t show sufficiently terrifying to allow full acceptance of the programme. Issues over the implications for civil liberties stymied it. Within the face of a public well being menace posed by a supposedly lethal invisible enemy, the Conflict on Microbes has proved to be a extra useful gizmo as folks made fearful have all too simply surrendered basic freedoms.
On the again of a not very lethal virus, Richard Hatchett believes we’ve got to wage a steady Conflict on Microbes utilizing vaccines. The Covid vaccine rollout was barely 100 days previous when CEPI introduced its Moonshot plan to develop prototype vaccines for all 25 recognized pathogen lessons in order that new vaccines may very well be developed in 100 days for fast rollout within the occasion of an outbreak being declared.
In his first tackle to the UN Normal Meeting, Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned, ‘Digital authoritarianism just isn’t, alas, the stuff of dystopian fantasy however of an rising actuality.’ A number of months later, days after the WHO declared Covid-19 a PHEIC, Johnson was warning that responses to new illnesses equivalent to coronavirus that went past what was medically rational would trigger actual and pointless financial injury.
Nevertheless this view didn’t survive andpublic well being monitoring and intelligence gathering had been quickly merged. Throughout his look earlier than a parliamentary committee in Could 2021, Dominic Cummings was requested by Labour MP Daybreak Butler in regards to the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC) launched the 12 months earlier than on June 1 2020, headed by veterans of the safety providers and modelled on the Joint Terrorism Evaluation Centre.
Cummings mentioned, ‘An enormous a part of it’s Take a look at and Hint and the entire information aspect . . . Clearly, the senior administration of PHE [Public Health England] the entire thing had not labored, is placing it politely. ‘All people, in April, got here to me . . . and mentioned, “You can’t belief PHE with what must be constructed”. So the brand new JBC was basically a part of the Whitehall rejigging of the equipment: “Proper, we’ve received to strip Take a look at and Hint out of DH. We’ve received to create a brand new surveillance operate that may combine all of this completely different information”.’
On October 1 2021, the JCB was itself changed by the UK Well being Safety Company.
The response to Covid-19 with lockdowns, Take a look at and Hint, masks and countless testing for a virus that for most individuals below the age of 70 isn’t any worse than a flu has certainly progressed past the medically rational. The UK dedicated £37billion to Take a look at and Hint and a further funding of £37million in Genomics England. The general public has been intentionally manipulated with concern, into accepting measures that may have been unthinkable when Chris Huhne spoke out in 2009.
In December 2021, 100 insurgent back-bench Conservative MPs joined the Democratic Unionist Get together, Liberal Democrats, Greens, independents and eight Labour MPs in voting in opposition to vaccine passports, however didn’t defeat the federal government. The authoritarian vaccine passes haven’t gone away. Sir Desmond Swayne, one of many rebels, discovered himself asking then Well being Minister Sajid Javid on June 8 this 12 months why his division was promoting a £71,000-a-year submit for a Deputy Director Supply for a Covid Go. The submit has since been crammed.
The Covid-19 response, primarily based on a Conflict on Terror period pandemicplaybook produced in the course of the heyday of the NeoCons, has normalised intrusive surveillance on the pretext of public well being concerns. ‘Plan Invoice’ and ‘Plan Dick’ look like Trojan horses linked to Bush-era Full Spectrum Dominance plans with Invoice Gates performing because the entrance man. Vaccine passes have the potential to render the idea of bodily autonomy out of date, if accessing on a regular basis life turns into contingent on submission to vaccination ordered on the whims of world public well being authorities.
Draconian lockdowns and public well being insurance policies imposed by supposedly liberal democracies together with Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand, the UK in addition to the EU – all intelligence companions of the US – are on the verge of lowering their folks to numbers, digital prisoners for ever of the tyrannical biosecurity state.
