The Joker

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE (17.03.2020)

Boris Johnson told business leaders on 16 March that the effort to manufacture more ventilators should be called “Last Gasp’. Meanwhile the company ready and willing to make millions of them has not received one order from the NHS. What a joker!

 

The ‘government’ is going to pay over £2.5 million a day to use private hospital beds. Meanwhile the Spanish have requisitioned them. This means the private health companies will make a profit out of the pandemic. Coincidence or planned?

Theatres are ‘advised’ to close but not ordered to. This means they cannot operate insurance cover and many smaller venues and theatre companies will go the wall, but hey a business opportunity for new property development. Coincidence or planned?

The UK is second from bottom in Europe for level of support to ill workers. In France, employees can exercise what is known as “the right of withdrawal” from work by walking off the job if they believe their health and safety are at risk, without having wages docked or facing punishment. In the UK no such luck with just £94.25 a week sick pay.

Meanwhile non-tax payer Richard ‘hold em to Ransom‘ Branson asks for £billions as airline ‘Coronavirus compensation’.

As the Italians say (who are increasingly on strike over all this) BASTA - Enough. My Jewish friends would add ‘Already’.

Keep well and don’t get upset - organise.

Boris Johnson's Cardinal Richelieu

 

 

 

William Hannage, Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard University, says of the UK, “Your house is on fire, and the people whom you have trusted with your care are not trying to put it out ….the UK government has inexplicably chosen to encourage the flames, in the misguided notion that somehow they will be able to control them. I assumed that reports of the UK policy (on Coronavirus) were satire – an example of the wry humour for which the country is famed. But they are all too real.”

 

This fire is taking place while the Cardinal Richelieu of the Boris Johnson regime, Dominic Cummings, sits at the centre of government policy.

 

Cummings wrote in a blog in 2016 that he is 'particularly interested in public health and the field of epidemiology … It is already the case that farmers use genomes to make predictions about cows’ properties and behaviour … It is already the case that in vitro fertilisation can select the egg which will be most advantageous with the highest prediction for IQ.’

 

These are the thoughts and words of Boris Johnson’s senior adviser.

 

They say judge a man by his friends. Cummings had Andrew Sabisky appointed as his subordinate. A step too far when it emerged that he had made comments in support of eugenics, and the relative intellects of black and white Americans.. He resigned.

 

But Cummings admits to a strong continuing friendship with Stephen Hsu, a theoretical physicist who is currently searching for an intelligence gene. Even though mainstream science has pretty much scrapped the notion that race has any kind of biological basis long ago, that hasn’t stopped Hsu from trying to link intelligence with race.

 

So Cummings, Sabisky, Hsu and we must assume Boris Johnson, are eugenicists, believing in the practice of selection of ‘desirable’ traits for the ‘improvement’ of humans.

 

And today their beliefs lie behind the “Herd’ policy of allowing the Coronavirus to take its course and thereby dictating the outcome of your and my fate.

 

Anthony Costello, Professor of International Child Health and Director of the University College London Institute for Global Health, questioned the tactics behind the ‘Herd’ policy and argues they are against the policy set down by WHO. He tweeted a series of questions showing scepticism, including: 'Will it impair efforts to restrict the immediate epidemic, and cause more infections and deaths in the near term?' He also questioned whether coronavirus causes strong herd immunity or 'is it more like flu where new strains emerge each year needing repeat vaccines?'

We like to criticise China as a totalitarian regime, but there
the epidemic has been contained after seven weeks of intense national effort, and by NOT following the ‘Herd Eugenicists’.

 

I am not happy with Cummings and his friends having any say in my possible mortality. Are you?

“This, without a doubt, is neoliberalism’s single most damaging legacy: the realization of its bleak vision has isolated us enough from one another that it became possible to convince us that we are not just incapable of self-preservation but fundamentally not worth saving.”

LEFT FIELD

  

BRIAN ENO “This is an excellent and inspiring book. David is an adventurer and a freethinker, who did something truly useful with his life."

SIR TOM STOPPARD “David has lived a life and a half. The broken world needed people like David; it still does”

MANDLA LANGA, winner of the 2009 Commonwealth Writers' Prize: "David Wilson is a national treasure"

RICHARD HORTON, Editor of The Lancet: “You write absolutely beautifully. Thank you for your wonderful book”

CRAIG MURRAY, ex-UK Ambassador: “David’s entire life has been dedicated to trying to make the world a better place” 

Destruction, death, hatred and war, but also hope, life, love and peace. A true story that takes you into a world of anti-war marchers and war criminals, celebrity musicians and shady art dealers. Music is never far away - A major theme - music as healer. You will meet Pavarotti and Clapton, Brian Eno, Bono and Bowie, as well as many who have found music to be a literal 'life saver'.

My journey as a lifelong rebel began when my father, one of the first Allied doctors into Bergen-Belsen, showed me photos of the camp --- This terrifying awakening to fascism led me to a lifetime of political activism --- As co-founder of War Child, I helped set up a mobile bakery that fed the starving people of Mostar --- My connection with the Balkans had started with a tempestuous marriage to a Croatian, and ended with my becoming first director of the Pavarotti Music Centre in Bosnia, helping those traumatised by war through its music programmes.

Left Field has now been on sale for four years in bookshops, as well as an e book and audio book. With the agreement of Unbound, my publishers, I am now offering all 37 chapters free online. This edition has allowed me to include many more photos than appeared in the hardback edition, as well as links to music recordings. The final chapter was written by Anne Aylor who has been my companion for much of this journey. She has been my muse, editor and amanuensis.

LEFT FIELD - A Musical summary

NOW GO TO CHAPTER 1 

protect against coronavirus? Be rich

 

This is what our political leaders tell us about Coronavirus. They are not exactly of one mind on this one, let alone in their minds!

Boris Johnson … "the worst public health crisis for a generation … I must level with you, the British public. Many more families are going to lose their loved ones before their time … because of a lack of immunity, the coronavirus is more dangerous than ordinary flu and it is going to spread further”.

Donald Trump … “I don’t think it’s gonna spread, I think it probably will, it possibly will. We’ll have to see. It might spread a little, it might be a lot, I really think it won’t … Ebola makes you dissolve, but this is like the flu and did you know that thousands of people die every year from the flu? I bet you didn’t know that, but we’re ready,”

These two are talking gobbledeegook, but who cares, Coronavirus is like austerity … it's for the many not the few.

 

This is what they do to protect themselves.

 

Lanserhof, a private medical facility in London’s Mayfair, has seen an 18% jump in the number of inquiries for its Immune Plus Support Infusion. A ‘tailor-made' infusion starts at £400 a session, but it does contain a high dose of Vitamin C, as well as "immune-boosting amino acids and also Zinc which plays a crucial role in our immune system functioning well." Lanserhof says a healthy immune system is the best weapon to fight off any kind of virus, "be that flu, COVID-19 or simply a cold.”

 

Meanwhile Club 51, a private gym-come-health club just north of Mayfair in Marylebone, have produced a report for their clients on things to do that gives protection against viruses in general.

 

These programmes are focused on boosting the body's immune system and are bespoke to each client, combining diet, sleep, exercise with supplements like nootropics. Nothing so vulgar as a price list on their website, but you can enquire about this at enquiries@clubfiftyone.co.uk

Oh and travel worries? Wealth Management inform their readers that private jet companies report a surge in business since the Coronavirus outbreak. Check-in at private jet terminals and avoid the circulated air of commercial airliners. The safest option. Of course.
