“History would look at this crisis as a great opportunity… a unique and rapidly-shrinking window of opportunity… to be radical and do things differently… to build back better… I see the need for a Great Reset.” [1]

Jan 20, 2022

The British press contends that the political survival of Boris Johnson and maybe war in Ukraine are the big fish, as small fry Covid restrictions are tossed back in the sea.

In contrast with the excitement in social media, the UK’s loosening of Omicron rules passed without much comment in the press. For the Gates-funded, military-aligned stenographers and public sector hymnals this should be an earthquake. Their failure to react suggests the controlled press think the restrictions will be back soon. The Guardian leaves it to unnamed health officials to warn the decision seems to be political, guided by events in London and risks another “wave.”

It seems this is indeed the return to pre-Omicron, whose symptoms never justified the hype, though other rules (such as restricting doctor visits) won't be reviewed 'til spring. Scotland and Wales retain mask requirements and some rules differ. Bill Gates' threat that the next virus will be a scorcher still resonates.

Remember the key steps of The Great Reset, as demonstrated so far in this “historic opportunity” of the pandemic, have been:

• emergency freezing of the financial system and bailout of banks and private corporations

• restricting small business and main street (unsustainable, inessential) and favouring big box/Amazon (sustainable, essential)

• monetary system to be reconfigured, including central bank digital currency

• switch to sustainable “green” energy which at current levels requires a sharp reduction in travel and consumption

• close schools, despite the low risk to children, and introduce teleschooling

• restrict health system, elective surgery, GP visits and introduce telemedicine

• expand digital ID footprint, increase the public’s burden of compliance to reset the pubic attitude to government, from entitlement to obligation

• alter expectations for pensions and benefits, touting universal basic income

• increase political coordination and lockstep across the world; 'deprecating' legislatures, representatives, voting, courts and justice; deploying military on home soil

• tighten media and online censorship, increase coordinated messaging

These have not been completed but changes have been made that until recently would have been unthinkable. It's widely agreed the old normal won't return.

The Online Safety Bill (censorship) is still incoming in the UK, as is the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (crackdown on protest). New government agencies have recently been established: joint biosecurity centres and the fusion of police, military, health and social services.

On the pretext of “outcomes management” the British government has teams of psychologists conducting real-time experiments on public behaviour. See Moneycircus, Sep 2021: The Never Normal is Forever — UK Gov aims to Embed Control through 'New Identities' to see how far they plan to go.

Anecdotal evidence suggests patients’ physical ailments are being blamed on “psychological illness”, in keeping with the Johns Hopkins Center’s SPARS 2025 pandemic scenario. Or maybe it’s climate change. A glance at the press confirms this narrative.

The Guardian has had a series of articles you probably saw, taking every side effect of the Coof dose — brain fog or dementia, collapsing immune systems, heart attacks, child strokes, thrombosis — and ascribing it to something else.

It goes like this:
May 2021 — UK women forced to wear face masks during labour, charity finds
Nov 2021 — Pregnant women urged to get Covid jab as data from England shows it is safe
Jan 2022 — Global heating linked to early birth and damage to babies’ health, scientists find

Lockstep or let up

The uniform control of the press by military, government or corporations remains. Attitudes towards, and expectations of, police have been changed from service to control. Preventive treatment is restricted, with bans or protocols, and doctors who recommend them are still sanctioned. Vaccine passports and digital ID infrastructure has been put in place. Quarantine camps have been built. Courts and the legislature have been sidelined by a small, rapid response teams of officials and non-governmental organizations, in UK as elsewhere. In (former) colonies obstructive national leaders and awkward public figures have been removed.

Given the lockstep in which politicians introduced Covid restrictions, their lifting would have to be coordinated globally to have any significance. In Australia some “border barricades” and checkpoints have been removed, as on the Gold Coast.

But Germany and Austria have just tightened restrictions on bars and restaurants; France further restricted Covid passports to people who have had three Covid vaccines. The Netherlands still closes “non-essential” stores but will let shops, gyms and hairdressers reopen. Bars and cafes remain shut until Jan 25.

Political survival

Omicron was a disappointment but it’s not the only reason for this sudden easing of Covid restrictions in the UK.

The British press maintains that the political survival of Boris Johnson is the pivotal issue of the moment. This disguises the neutering of parliament, decision making having shifted over several decades to civil servants and state security organs whose nexus is the UK Cabinet Office.

Another notable feature is the lockstep of the Anglosphere, particularly those that answer nominally to the British corporate crown.

Are the powers that be so desperate to keep Boris Johnson in these circumstances? His father Stanley is/was a Rockefeller man, and campaigner for depopulation and eugenics, just like Gates Sr. Interesting how these families use the next generation — and how that generation is lifted to the heights by hands unseen.

Economic reality

If the “rapidly shrinking window of opportunity” for a Great Reset has not gone away, what can we expect next? It cannot be restated enough that the pandemic is in large part a monetary event. Don’t forget that the pandemic was anticipated in the context of an economic crisis and the response prepared accordingly. This includes massive money creation, consequent inflation, and disruption to choke points such as supply chains and energy lines.

In government, the massive money creation may seem like a bonanza of lolly to finance pandemic surveillance but in reality it will lead to a sharp contraction in public services. The prescription for telemedicine, restrictions on seeing a doctor in person, the talk of education by artificial intelligence, and the fusion of policy and social services suggest the plan is for government to be much leaner in future.

The solution, as prescribed by central bankers and notably former Bank of England governor Mark Carney, is to rank businesses according to how sustainable and essential is their survival. The U.N. special envoy for climate action and finance is still determined to commit $130 trillion to turn the world net zero. [3]

You may argue that the failure of the COP 26 climate summit in Glasgow in Nov 2021 severely dented the City of London’s Green Horizon and World Economic Forum’s Reset. There are some seriously powerful people behind the plan — and halving emissions by 2030 to reach net zero by 2050 is only one route to, one of, their goals.

Hook or by crook

What Event Covid has shown so far is that private interests influence many politicians, all the state-corporatist press and tech giants, most of the corporations — and, crucially, the banks — who connived in a plan to use the pandemic to disrupt society so as to conduct the greatest grab of wealth and power the world has ever seen.

It is popular in some quarters to argue that “Davos has failed” — being the synecdoche for the World Economic Forum, in turn the vanguard for global capital and Europe’s moneyed elite. The reality is that centuries of colonial looting, corporate pollution and banking manipulation caused this crisis — but it is nonetheless real. We the people have to get ourselves out of this mess.

Financially, most Western governments are under water. Debt, interest payments, social security, public health services, official pension obligations were already much greater than tax receipts — and that’s before they used Covid to add shiny new government departments for pandemic surveillance.

Bailouts and money creation since the 2007-08 banking crisis have roughly quadrupled during the pandemic. It is no longer possible to pay down debt without defaulting or devaluing the currency through inflation.

The only answer is the permanent increase of the money supply, which is what the asset management firm BlackRock told the central banks to do, at the Federal Reserve’s summit at Jackson Hole in Aug 2019.

Ask yourself who is behind BlackRock that it should have such influence on the privately-owned Federal Reserve central bank. I suggest that it must represent the same owners.

We haven’t finished with the economics. The Bank for International Settlements — the central bankers’ central bank — wants us to use a central bank digital currency. This would be like each person having an account direct with the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England. Very posh until you realize it would entail the closure of retail banks. And the latter are the lenders to small business. And small businesses are responsible for creating 70-80 per cent of jobs.

Now you may be wondering why the small business sector has been deemed non-essential and largely bankrupted. Supply chains have been disrupted, food shortages are apparent in major chains.

There is a laundry list of what the central bankers regard as unsustainable waste and non-essential activity to be washed out of the system. That will be painful and it requires a pretext.

It’s not over until…

Some suggest the easing restrictions are a distraction as the UK pushes for conflict with Russia. The British press certainly gives that impression.

Goldman Sachs says defence stocks are among their top picks for 2022 and commentators have suggested several good reasons. [4]

Take your choice: China-Taiwan; Russia-Ukraine; submarines disrupt undersea communications cables; Mid-East; North Korea; U.S. social unrest leads to domestic armed conflict; terrorist incidents delayed by Covid travel restrictions may once again target Western nations.

That last one is interesting: there's been lots of talk of false flags recently. The Democrats and the deep state are in trouble in the U.S. with midterm elections in November; Australia has shown what you can do to a disarmed population; Davos never got its Cyber Polygon (apparently Putin refused); fireworks and happenings would be the perfect example to ease Covid restrictions then reimpose them.

The idea that terrorists took time out because Covid is ridiculous but is exactly the kind of dumbed-down narrative to expect from the state-corporatist media.

Looking at it another way: what has not yet been done? The Internet kill switch has not been tested on a global scale — they've mostly been localized blackouts like the CDN provider Fastly that went down in Jun 2021. S&P Global market analysts say, "Global internet outages up 9% in 2nd week of 2022."

This month’s unrest in Kazakhstan showed what happens when the ‘net is shut off. People could not withdraw cash from ATMs, pay for light or heating, or fill their cars or travel.

As in previous phases of Event Covid the "fear meter" and traffic light, tiers or zones can be turned up again at a moment’s notice. Tyranny is a ratchet in which freedoms are taken and rarely returned, except that occasionally you may be granted relief, like a schoolboy's exeat or a prison visit.

What has been relaxed in Britain are only the outward signs of compliance. The organs of state security, as they were called in Tsarist times, have yet to play their major chords.
