Virtue and Terror / The New Normal: Book launch at the Star & Garter

On 11 March, to mark the third anniversary since the World Health Organization declared the ‘pandemic’, I held a book launch of the two volumes of my selected articles on the UK biosecurity state, Virtue and Terror and The New Normal, which may be published as a print on demand book in hardback or softback, or as an ebook, via these links. My first reading was from the Introduction in Volume 1, which was followed by an open discussion. The recording of this, posted on YouTube, was removed within hours on the grounds that it violated their ‘medical misinformation policy’. Below is the text I read to conclude the launch, in which I discussed the ways in which we can resist the global bioecurity state, individually through acts of non-compliance and collectively through acts of civil disobedience. Finally, I argued that the digital camp in which the architects of biosecurity want to imprison us, and which is coextensive with the global biosecurity state, is in our hands.

1. Individual non-compliance

  • Never observe anti-social distancing from your fellow human beings.
  • Never wear a medical mask either fashioned by yourself from an old T-shirt or designed to be used in the sterilised environment of an operating theatre on the spurious grounds that it stops virus particles one ten-thousandth of a millimetre wide.
  • Never comply with any of the requirements of ‘contact tracing’.
  • Never get tested with an RT-PCR test, or an Antigen Lateral Flow test, or any other test that establishes our biosecurity status.
  • Never get injected with experimental gene therapies. This includes those using viral-vector (e.g. AstraZeneca) and messenger RNA (Pfizer and Moderna) vehicles to deliver the DNA sequences into our cells.
  • Never pay and always challenge the legality of fixed penalty notices, which are many times higher than any court would impose for a similar offence, and whose issuance by cops who don’t know their legal arse from their elbow were almost undoubtedly unlawful.
  • Know the limits of law enforcement. The time of citizens not knowing UK law and our protected rights and freedoms is over if we want to retain our citizenship and not be turned into mere subjects of the state with obligations to its dictates.
  • Know our employment rights and challenge any attempt by an employer to interfere with them, by, for example, asking for a risk assessment on mask mandates and the dangers they represent to your health. An insurer faced with multiple claims against an employer might begin to question whether this is the kind of customer they want.
  • Always use cash and human cashiers and boycott businesses that don’t accept or use either.
  • Withhold consent for our children to be injected, re-gendered or transitioned by schools, clinics and hospitals, and make it clear to them they do not have the right to make that choice for us, or to encourage our children to do so behind our backs. Gene therapy, puberty blockers and irreversible bodily mutilation are at best child abuse and more accurately crimes against minors under, for example, the Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 or the Serious Crime Act 2015.
  • Defend the privacy of our homes from illegal entry by the police or council officers or so-called ‘COVID marshals’. Despite doing so, such persons have never had the right under coronavirus-justified regulations to enter our homes. Get a door-chain and a peep-hole, and put a human rights lawyer’s number on speed-dial.
  • Never use any form of Digital Identity imposed under whatever guise, whether as a passport for travel, or for access to health care, or for work insurance, or for welfare support, or for child benefits, or all the myriad ways that will coalesce into a single system of surveillance.
  • Do not open a Central Bank Digital Currency account. As we’re seeing in Nigeria, the largest nations where it has been imposed, CBDC will be accompanied by the withdrawal of cash, and it will be programmed by the corporate interface with conditions of us imposed by Sustainable Development Goals, Environmental, Social and Governance criteria, and the Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Treaty, all of which will monitor, limit and withdraw our access to their money. If Digital ID is the gateway to the digital camp in which they plan to enclose us, CBDC is the electrified fence that will imprison us within its boundaries.
  • And, whenever we can, publicly demonstrate our rights and freedoms. Individual non-compliance is almost always done in public, in a social setting, in the presence of other people, who may or may not be complying themselves, usually the former. At the very least, it draws attention to the technologies and regulations enforcing compliance, and with which we are becoming habituated to the point where they have become transparent, invisible. The dominance of an ideology can be measured by its transparency. Compliance with the UK gene-therapy programme was not, as was claimed by the compliant, an individual choice, but instead a social and political act of obedience that created the collective consensus with which the non-compliant were socially ostracised by their family and friends, demonised in the press as murderers, fired from their jobs, and treated under newly-made laws as citizens without rights and freedoms, prisoners in their own country and homes. Individual non-compliance is always a show of non-compliance. In Parliament Square in London, opposite the Houses of Parliament, there is a statue of the suffragette, Millicent Fawcett. I’d have preferred one of Sylvia Pankhurst; but she holds a banner saying: ‘Courage calls to courage everywhere.’ In the West, and in particular in the UK, we’ve been cowards for a long time, and we need to find our courage. That comes from individuals standing up and saying: no, I will not comply.

2. Collective civil disobedience

  • Attend demonstrations, the aim of which isn’t to get reported in the media that continues to censor us while granting global coverage to every corporate-funded activist for Just Stop Oil. They’re about supporting those who are under financial and emotional strain for taking an individual stand. But they’re also something else. One of our greatest weapons in this struggle is the dystopian image of the future being painted by organisations like the World Economic Forum, in which we hand over our freedoms, our political agency and our common humanity with each other in return for of an illusory and suffocating safety from the ‘crises’ they’ve manufactured. We need to provide an alternative to this image of the future. Half a million people marching through London, unmasked, uninjected and without fear of each other, is a model of community we can get behind.
  • Attend meetings and events, such as this one, in which we can discuss what we are banned from discussing on social media.
  • Create organisations of resistance for what is coming next. There is nothing to stop what is happening in China now, where lockdowns are being threatened for seasonal influenza, from happening to us in the near future. The obligations and mechanisms of compliance written into the World Health Organization’s Pandemic Treaty make it clear that protection of our biology is the front line in a civil war that will be waged by our governments against our status and rights as citizens.
  • Unionise our business, office, workshop or factory. We’ve seen something of what the Labour-affiliated unions can do with the widespread industrial strikes in the travel, health and education industries, which demonstrates what they could have done against the imposition of masking, lockdown and mandatory injections in March 2020. That doesn’t mean we can’t unionise ourselves against the re-imposition of these restrictions, and against the future imposition of equally fundamentalist environmentally-justified restrictions on our movement, labour, consumption, etc.
  • Create mutually-supporting networks to share information and practices for when the cyber-attack predicted by the WEF is launched by their partners.
  • Educate ourselves and others, and never assume that because we know what is happening others do too or to the same extent. Those who get their understanding of the world from the mainstream media know almost nothing about what is happening and about to happen. The other evening I had a conversation with an astro-physicist that ended when she declared that the global ‘vaccination’ programme was a demonstration of what science and human ingenuity can do when we work together. In a way, she was right, but not in the way that I and most of the people in this room today would understand it. There is a growing amount of information available now compared to the dark days of 2020. Share it.
  • In furtherance of which, produce and disseminate counter propaganda that turns that information into an accessible form for those who don’t have the time or ability or disposition to read it.
  • Leaflet homes and businesses (for example, Not Our Future’s model of exponential communication). When the Online Safety Bill is made law, social media as a forum of debate will effectively be over, and we need to create other means to communicate with and mobilise each other. Most of us have lived most of our lives too dependent upon our chains to feel their rattling on others’ wrists. If we’re to free ourselves from them, we need something else to connect us.
  • Testify whenever we can, and to as many people as we can, about the negative effects of lockdown, police brutality, censorship, being injected, being fired for non-compliance, etc. Giving voice to our experiences will free the voices of others bullied and scared into silence.
  • Reject any and all pleas for ‘amnesty’ from liars, collaborators and criminals. After the Second World War, the new German Government, in an act of seeming self-flagellation, declared that ‘all Germans were guilty’, and therefore, out of practical necessity, all Germans had to be forgiven. This effectively conferred immunity from prosecution to the tens and even hundreds of thousands of criminals among them. Like the Germans, we aren’t all guilty of the crimes committed over the last three years and of those about to be committed now. Our war isn’t close to being won, but we should start compiling indictments of the thousands of criminals and their crimes and, when we can, hold them to account in a court of law.
  • Create independent economies, for example, through unmediated exchange of goods and services, through setting up our own credit unions, or through crypto-currencies like Bitcoin — the latter of which Central Bank Digital Currency has been created, among other things, to destroy.
  • Collective food production and off-grid energy production, buy produce direct from farmer markets without the intermediary of supermarkets, which act as surveillance for a system of social credit monitoring and controlling our consumptions.
  • Form a collective militia to defend against what is happening in China now and will eventually happen here. Groups that, for example, form protests or carry placards by roadsides or break into ‘vaccination’ clinics or vandalise 5G masts are going to have to become more militant. For example, individuals and groups are already destroying the street-level infrastructure of the illegally imposed ‘15-minute cities’.

In his famous book, The Gulag Archipelago, about the camp system of the USSR under Stalin, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote about the regret he and his fellow inmates had that they had not resisted earlier and with greater vehemence the creep of totalitarianism until it was too late.

‘And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive, and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrest — as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city — people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood that they had nothing left to lose, and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that the secret police were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cut-throat. What about the police van sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked? The organs of the state would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

If . . . If . . . We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more — we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure! . . . We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.’

My fear is that, if we do not stop this now, we will have the rest of our lives to regret it in a digital camp whose boundaries will be co-extensive with the global biosecurity state itself.

3. And finally . . . a note on our addiction to technology

So-called ‘smart phones’ — more accurately described as ‘dumb phones’ — combine a mobile phone with a watch, with an AZ map of London, with a tourist atlas of the world, with a digital camera, with a personal stereo system, with a music collection, with a video recorder, with a diary, with a calculator, with a credit card, with a travelcard, with an office key, with a torch, with a newspaper, with a television, with something to read on the Tube, and probably a lot more. I don’t know, because I don’t own one. ‘But it’s so convenient!’ we cry. ‘Convenience has bred compliance.’

Your smart phone is your outsourced memory and brain. What is 9 x 8? What was the capital of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between 1945 and 1992? When did the Great War end? How many kids today could answer these questions without reference to their smart phone? The answers to these questions is: 72; Belgrade; and November 1918.

But they are now more even than this. Smart phones are the instrument onto which you download the software applications (or app) that connected us to the Test and Trace programme that identified and recorded our location, movement, associations and contacts; onto which we will upload our biometric data to a centralised database to which the surveillance institutions of the biosecurity have access; that will monitor whether we are up-to-date with what the state decides is fully ‘vaccinated’ with whatever they decided we must inject into our bodies as a condition of access to the rights of citizenship; that will monitor how many times we leave or enter our 15-minute grazing range; that will track our carbon footprint in order to monitor and control the quantity of meat, dairy products, energy, oil, petrol and other products to which the biosecurity state will progressively cut off our access between now and 2030; that will be the means by which our compliance with lockdowns, masking mandates and programmes of gene therapy dictated by the World Health Organization and enforced by the UK biosecurity state will be monitored, recorded and enforced by cutting off our access to the Digital Grid; and, within the next five years or so, smart phones will become our digital wallet through which the Bank of England will have complete control over how much and on what we spend their Central Bank Digital Currency.

Smart phones are the first generation of the biotechnology that is being implanted into our bodies, and they are already being succeeded by microchipped tablets registering when they are and are not taken; by quantum dot dyes in gene therapies injected as vaccines; by microprocessors implanted under the skin of our hands to allow contactless payments; by microchips implanted in our brains to augment our perception of the reality of the limits in which they plan to imprison us. Smart phones are the precursor of what Klaus Schwab accurately and prophetically called ‘the merger of our biological and digital identities’. They are the technology of our enslavement, and the fact that, knowing all this as you all do, we still — STILL — won’t discard them, shows how addicted we are to this technology, how deep it has penetrated into our biology and psychology. Indeed, like the prisoners forced to construct the camp in which they are imprisoned, we continue to pay increasing sums for and upgrade our prison whenever we’re told to. Worse, whenever we are invited to.

So I’m going to give us all a chance to break that addiction and escape our prison. Right now. Throw your smart phone away. Put it in this bucket I’m passing round, and I’ll dispose of them in a place where they can never be used again. If you change your mind, you can come and collect it when I’ve finished speaking. But just for this moment, symbolically at least, or better yet in anticipation of a future and definitive parting, throw it away now. I’ll wait while the bucket is passed around.

And if you don’t or can’t do so — as I have little doubt that few if any of you will — I invite you to reflect on this addiction to the technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A smart phone is not a tool. It is not convenient. It is biotechnology, and the fact that it isn’t yet implanted into our bodies doesn’t mean it hasn’t already become a part of us — and a part of us we are ready to sacrifice our freedom to rather than discard. Indeed, the past three years have incontrovertibly demonstrated that we will defend our slavery with far more vehemence that we will our freedom.

In 1944, as the Second World War drew to its end, the Surrealist poet, André Breton, wrote: ‘Freedom, colour of man!’ No longer. Freedom, as George Orwell predicted five years later, is now slavery. Because slavery is safe. Slavery is convenient. Slavery is the common good. Slavery is the highest civic virtue. Slavery is our duty. Slavery is our fate. So don’t bother fighting it. Embrace your slavery. Upgrade your smart phone to a new model. Queue outside the shop for hours. Wrap your chains in a nice leather wallet. Download the newest app of your enslavement. Show it off to your friends. Never, ever, let it leave your side. Look into its screen the second you wake up. Place it under your pillow before you go to sleep. Consult it the moment you wake up. For it is your best friend, your big brother, the lover who will never betray you, your single source of truth. Just as Jacinda Ardern told us. Trust no other.

Breton also said that we will never have a political revolution until we have a revolution of the mind. Or as Parliament Funk paraphrased years later: ‘free your mind and your arse will follow’. As the last three years or cowardice and servitude have shown, our minds are already in prison. And, until we free them, talk of resisting, let alone overthrowing, the Global Biosecurity State is — if you’ll pardon my French — merde.

It is an unfortunately purely hypothetical truth that, if a sufficient proportion of the 93 per cent of UK citizens who own a smart phone threw them away, this would be over. I repeat: the digital camp in which they wish to imprison us is, literally, in our hands. Smash them! We have nothing to lose but our chains. We have a world of freedom to win.

  1. I met you at a talk in Edinburgh recently, Simon, and would have loved you to have passed the phone bucket around there.

    I don’t have an internet phone because, like you, I see it as the key to all of this; more, I think people are devolving mentally and socially because of their addiction to them. So I’m glad to see you incorporating internet phone use more into your talks. I detest them.

  2. Individual acts of non-compliance pre-dated the mask mandate of July 2020, not just by refusing to limit one’s outdoor exercise to an hour per day, as plenty of people who claimed to be obedient broke that idiotic ‘rule’. Rather it included peeling ‘social distancing’ stickers off the pavement, as well as defacing or just removing other Covidian propaganda.

    I’m pleased to say that I don’t use a ‘smart’ phone either, though it depresses me that the majority of people from their teens (some even younger) to their sixties are now addicted to them; and it must be said that this includes a fair proportion of the supposedly ‘awake’, who also organise via smartphone-only apps such as WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram.

    I have to say however that I’m very sceptical about Bitcoin and other non-centralised cryptocurrencies because they are grooming people to accept a cashless society and to tie their lives to the virtual world. What if a person’s social credit rating is so poor that he or she is unable to access the internet? How then can that person use Bitcoin?
