Just in time for Christmas and the ‘sort-of but not-really’ Lockdown our covid emperors crave, a new covid variant has been discovered – in South Africa. It’s labelled ‘Nu’ and everybody, from Javid down to the MSM ‘science’ editors down, are busy creating ‘panic’. We’re told this is the ‘worst-ever’ mutant because of changes in that spike protein, and our and Israel’s government have stopped flights from SA, Botswana and a whole host of other countries in southern Africa. Those already here are told to ‘self-quarantine’.
So, trembling with fear because that’s what the covid emperors want, I’ve dutifully read the reports and articles and looked at the scare graphs. Frankly, I’m aghast, becoming more furious by the minute. The propaganda is so blatant that I wonder if all those writers really believe they can get away with it.
For example, nowhere are we told how many people in SA, infected with this new ‘Nu’, are in hospital or dying. We learn instead that “The samples dated from tests taken on November 14 and 16. On Wednesday, even as scientists were analysing the genome, other samples were found in Botswana and China, originating from travellers from South Africa.” (link, paywalled)
The DM has dedicated the top spot on their homepage to this ‘horror variant’,with some lovely graphs. So when one scrolls down a bit (link) there’s a map showing that 3 cases (!) have been detected in Botswana, six (!) in SA and one (!) in HongKong. Scrolling a bit further, past some lovely images of covid variants floating around, we read that “Only 59 confirmed cases have been identified in South Africa, Hong Kong and Botswana.” and that actually there are two (!) cases in Hongkong and 100 altogether (link).
Nobody really knows because the countries in southern Africa are lacking ‘proper surveillance’ and therefore the actual numbers infected are unknown. I’ve done a simple mathematical operation called subtraction and can state that the ‘finds’ of that Nu variant are at least ten days old. So where are the reports of people in SA hospitalised with this variant? If it’s so contagious, more even than Delta, there surely should have been some? One would have thought that patients ending up in hospital with this latest variant would be rather obvious, no? Still, ‘confirmed cases’ sound scary, doesn’t it but, as we all know, ‘a case’ is not = being hospitalised with a raging infection!
Our own beloved Professor Pantsdown told the DM that “this variant appears to be driving a rapid increase in case numbers in South Africa.” (link). I should think so, too, now that SA scientists have found in their tests where to look! Apparently, the mutated spike protein had so many new mutations that their PCR set-up was unable to multiply it so it could be studied. He has also said something with which I actually agree:
“However, we do not yet have reliable estimates of the extent to which B.1.1.529 [the Nu variant] might be either more transmissible or more resistant to vaccines, so it is too early to be able to provide an evidence-based assessment of the risk it poses.” (link).
Really! How astonishing! But let’s hand out a jolly good dose of panic to our covid lemmings anyway! The DM quotes other scientists whose words can be summarised simply thus: ‘the samples are too small, we can’t really say anything’. However, “we” better be afraid, very afraid, even though not one case has been detected in the UK, even though it was found 10 days ago and travellers – allegedly 500 per day – have been coming in from SA.
I wonder why all those science editors haven’t asked all those scientific covid experts one simple question. So I’ll ask it instead: did this Nu variant only appear, ghost-like, on the day it was discovered or mightn’t it have been around for some time, undiscovered, not doing very much?
The official reason for this latest fear propaganda is that the current vaccines may not protect against this variant. Well, since the vaccines available have all been developed for the first, the Alpha variant, that stands to reason. We also have surely learned by now that the vaccines don’t ‘protect’ us from infection but are only making covid less horrible once we’re infected.
Surely it’s time, well past time in fact, to demand that treatments, cheaply available, must now be used? Surely it’s time to permit doctors to prescribe Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine to patients, to be used at home? The data, suppressed by the covid Government-Big Pharma Industrial complex, speak for themselves.
I’ve come across an observation which made me sit up, namely that the astonishingly low incidence of covid across Africa might be due to the fact that the people there are taking Hydroxychloroquine as a weekly anti-malaria prophylaxis and have been doing so for years. (It’s in Robert Kennedy’s book ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ – read it if you want to be angry and sick at every turn of the page.) Is that why South Africans and others aren’t now in hospital with the Nu variant?
Instead of pushing ‘Teh Booster’, a jab which is based on the Alpha variant and which won’t protect against this latest Nu, we should demand that the cheap drugs, shown to work in innumerable cases, be prescribed and made available. We should ask why we need to wait for a ‘course’ of re-designed antivirals which cost about £700 per treatment when Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are so cheap.
Javid and Johnson needed to have a reason to use their ‘Plan B’ – and lo and behold, here it is. You cannot tell me that Javid and his covid henchpeople didn’t know about this variant, that the various scientists here hadn’t been made aware by their SA colleagues who, remember, detected this variant ten days ago! That’s why Javid spoke about his ‘Plan B’ last Sunday: he knew and the SAGEs knew what was coming. I’m sure the scientific editors in the MSM have had an inkling as well, before coming out with their scare reports just now – perfectly timed for the weekend.
We’re being expertly prepared for a new Nu outbreak. No cases have been found in the UK – but test and search and ye surely shall find! So get ready for ‘Plan B’, a ‘private’ lockdown for Christmas. At least we’ll have a turkey each – Johnson promised!
Very very sorry about your dog Viv, I really hope she pulls through. As if there wasn’t enough misery to cope with.
will spread news of site as best I can.
Roger T ; in spite of all the lies and assurances to the contrary, I think it will be legally binding:
No Viv, and not much either about the huge number of horrendous jab side effects . just a nauseating assertion that “cardiac trouble is fairly common among youngsters”. Just when I think they can’t sink any lower, they do. Surely their own excesses must bring about their fall. THIS CANT GO ON.

This excellent organisation has delivered three quarters of a million leaflets countrywide and has spread ivermectin awareness.
I think I’ll get the Robert Kennedy book if I can bear to read it, horrible experiments on dogs I believe and orphan children used as guinea pigs for vaccines .
Are any of us remotely surprised by this new development? They know we know they know we know theyre lying . tpo cover this naked power grab
Very chilling stuff going on in Australia. although not a dicky bird about it in MSM of course.
What is even more sickening is that there’s nothing, not from our NHS tsar not the MSM about cheap treatments which also reduce the ‘risk of dying’ and ‘risk of hospitalisation’ – with fewer side effects than the holy vaccines.
I’ve started reading Robert Kennedy’s book on Fauci where he gives chapter and verse. It’s a jolly goo deal on amazon: over 900 pages for £2.99 on Kindle at the moment (I’m a sucker for that sort of ‘deal’ …!). I’m furious and sick, alternatively, when reading it and have already a stack of hair-raising quotes.
I have bought the book on kindle too but dreading the narrative. Must check back more often.
Hot news from a source in Belorussia
“It is understood that the people smugglers recruiting for their contacts along the English Channel have been misleading their customers who have been telling them they wish to settle in the British Isles, which of course used to be the Commonwealth of Britain and the Island of Ireland .
The real destination is Ireland, which they perceive as the ultimate paradise and which Ireland itself advertises as being far superior to that of England.
Apparently when booking and paying for their passage from the land of their birth they are told that when they leave France by boat they will land on an Island, to them this is obviously Ireland.”
It would be impracticable or unwise at any season to attempt the crossing from any port on the northern coast of France to Southern Ireland.
Obviously the landing at an English South Coast port is a step along the road to the Eldorado of Ireland and the British should arrange transportation where they can recross the non existing border(? not for long if this plan works out) into Ireland which also has the advantage of being an EU country where they will avoid penalties of £15,000 for entering the UK without passports, leaving permits or identification papers
I don’t really expect Ireland will welcome these wanderers with open arms and shower on them the benefits they believe from smuggler’s laudations they will receive in ripe to be plucked UK
I’m sure Ireland will have no hesitation in ushering them on the next ferry to France.
It’s really just a game of pass the international parcel
NB the nucleus of this idea, I believe came from a Ken Follett story where Russian emigrants going to The USA were dropped off in the UK and I also know for sure the same thing happened to Lithuanians
You are working very hard Viv, bringing us so many I.D. betrayals. Don’t overdo it so we lose you again.
As for T.P.T.B. and their jabbing and testing, here’s a little snippet of info:-
A friend of mine living in sheltered accommodation, for many years was fortunate enough to virtually never catch a cold. It seemed as though he had some sort of inbuilt natural immunity.
Living where he does now, it is not quite but very nearly, impossible to avoid being jabbed with whatever was ‘offered’.
This year it was covid booster in one arm and flu jab in the other.
Lo and behold he went down with diarrhoea plus streaming nose, sore throat and coughing up phlegm.
Apart from the diarrhoea, typical bad cold symptoms. The ‘manager’ insisted on the nose scrape test in case it was Covid. It wasn’t.
He still has the cold symptoms but now fortunately is able to get out, away from his loo.
I suspect that this year it is the turn of the runs and head cold viruses for us to be jabbed against. As they do sometimes.
Bear in mind that vaccinations have always been a case of giving us a dose of something, to trigger an immune response.
I’ll ask him on Sunday about all the other ‘inmates’ that have been double jabbed.
Well, I’ve been writing a ‘Daily Rant’ during the time this site was in hibernation, so in the end I thought, since the site is there, I might as well publish them.
However – you read it here first, but there’ll be an official announcement tomorrow – there won’t be a ‘full issue’ this weekend, the number of readers and thus the interest is simply not (hopefully only ‘not yet’) there. So I’ll not work myself into the ground. We’ll see how things are by the 2nd Advent Sunday …
Viv sorry to intrude on your conversation, regarding numbers I must agree with you, yes some familiar faces, but nothing like critical mass
Unfortunately just like many businesses ; a temporary hiatus and they think y ou’ve gone and it’s often one hell of a job to get people back, even those you may have felt were solid.
I would say relying on emails is dodgy, many people I know don’t read them daily and many not even weekly, to be honest ( and I am a fairly regular reader) I only noticed yours belatedly and even then as you may have noticed I didn’t realise you were going on beyond the one edition.
I’m afraid you’ve got to go for broke, revive as much full service as you can manage, certainly regular emails – you don’t have to publish daily, but I think you have to find some way of advertising your services, could you get TCW to print an edition every now and again say and how about an omnibus betrayal column
I’m pretty sure you would get some mileage from GB news, I have seen members from them twice latest was tonight Laura somebody, I think she’s a lawyer.
I agree with Pauline don’t knock yourself up, but you are too good, not to have a regular forum, that really counts with a lot of people who wish you well.
Hi Roger – yes, it’s a bit like starting from scratch, but as you and all other readers know from my various appeals: thanks to lockdown and covid people have changed their reading habits. That emailed newsletter wasn’t doing much at all for reader numbers, interest was going down, ever more rapidly, since lockdown. I had to dismantle it anyway in order to migrate the site to a smaller server.
So – private emails … and this is where my permanent appeal comes in. It’s counter-productive for me as E-i-C to link to the site and to articles on other sites such as TCW. It’s what they call ‘shilling’ and puts people off. And it would indeed knock myself up – I cannot afford that, for the obvious reason some of you know: my very ill furry girlie.
That’s why I keep asking people to do it themselves, to propagate the site by reminding their friend of it, by linking to it on all the other social media they visit.
It hasn’t happened.
So I’m begging all who read this comment to please, please link to the site, link to those Daily Rants.

CDC is scrapping the current PCR test in January, to be replaced with one they say can differentiate between SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.
Read that again. In that brief sentence they have admitted that the current test CANNOT know Covid from Adam (or the Flu). Which is what its inventor Kary Mullis said way back when. Covid symptoms are identical to most flu, and flu ‘disappeared’, seamlessly replaced with Covid. If it looks like a duck, and walks… etc.
Yes Phil O’S. Not ‘arf !! Lead by ‘The Science’? What a load of cobblers!
I understand the purpose of the current test is, in reality, to inflate the number of “cases” and keep the fear of Covid going. Second to hoover up your DNA which they can then sell or pass on to the security services….
“the astonishingly low incidence of covid across Africa might be due to the fact that the people there are taking Hydroxychloroquine as a weekly anti-malaria prophylaxis”
Also, Ivermectin as widely used as an anti-parasitic!
Japan has just ONE new death recorded on Worldometer, with twice our population. After finding contaminated Moderna vials they began using Ivermectin.
Well I got it right this morning Viv.
As usual excellent forensic examination and description of the dastardly plan to spoil our Christmas.
Could the reason be, that they are making such a meal of it is to distract attention away from all the disasters that have beset Boris over the last few weeks?
Mind you I`m not sure that he is going to get clear of the Channel pilgrimage tragedy, I have heard not only has Macron blood on his hands, but it is shared equally by Boris. I know Pritti squeaks, but Boris has failed to act in ensuring traffic on that route is terminated.
I`m not very sure his present initiative in getting France to “reduce the numbers” is a convincing tone.
He should call in the French Ambassador and tell him to tell his masters in Paris
“Stop the flow dead, or ELSE…………..” at this stage he doesn`t have to be specific of what `else` means precisely
Oh from other postings, you should know by now that I consider the way to solve the cross channel problem is by destroying or and/or confiscating the dinghies/craft
Roger T; re last para: as I think I commented yesterday , I think this is the cue (which TPTB have long desired) to wheel out the UN Global Migration Compact (sneakily signed by TMay about 3 years ago), and put illegal immigration on a “proper” footing: our quota (doubtless a humungeous one) will now be flown into UK by the planeload and all immigration made “legal,” The Compact will give migrants rights equal rights to indigenous citizens, who will not have the right to complain.
The Compact stipulates I think that sovereign states can determine their own quota . Is there a clause in any agreement/treaty with EU anywhere covering whether this be decided for us by the EU?
Mary, if you are talking about the Marrakesh agreement, I thought it was non-binding and while we maybe agreed to treat it as binding, it was never a binding treaty and while we will get loads of opprobrium and lose our international reputation so what?
It will only be a loss on one front, it will be a gain economically. This country is full up already., has been for a number of years, I know the nett 250/300,thousand who appear seemingly yearly forever, some of whom do contribute from the outset of their arrival, but even they don’t reflect often the crisis pressure they place on all the services
The above are a different case as I have outlined, from the 25/30 thousand penniless and jobless illegals (no passports, no papers) who too have eventually after detention provided with all services to which they will not contribute speedily.
And unless this back door invasion is terminated immediately, it will just go on and on and it will expand perhaps exponentially beyond a mere 30thousand per annum………and there will be more drownings and more crocodile tears.
As somebody just asked on GB news ” if Brexit was not about taking control of our borders what was it for”?
Indeed
Hi Roger! Isn’t it great we have I.D. back!
I’m inclined to be more outspoken than you over the illegal immigrants:-
SINK the blighters the moment they cross into OUR territorial waters. And NO RESCUE attempts from us.
That is what I would like to see. It wouldn’t kill many before the traffic ceased.
Unfortunately though I believe there is some old International Law preventing that.
Surely in this case it is France that is at fault. It happened just off Calais.
As for Peppa the Pig man. Surely his own Party must depose him soon.
Can they afford losing the support of the C.B.I.?
Na Pauline you can’t drown anything these days without bringing down the wrath of the gods on you.
I mentioned to a friend that I knew a bloke who drowned grey squirrels,I thought they were vermin. I’ve still got earache for even telling the tale, never mind the implied cruelty I seemed to harbour and encourage.
I could quite accept,(not) that I was cruel by nature therefore I had a cruel streak, quite reminded me that there were some who considered that I am white Therefore intrinsically racist.
(NB hope Viv reprints some of the Classic Liberal stuff we need constant reminders of the defence against that sort of charge).
Can they afford to lose the support of the CBI?
Depends on which political wing of the CBI you mean there were a lot of Brexit Remoaners among them and I am sure many of them are still working beneath the surface to undermine any success of Brexit
Our Rulers. Civil Service. Need rationing back… It’s all there. Our brave sailors bring food across the atlantic to bring you butter ( the wars been over 6 years ) , ( the shops have been heaving with the stuff hiadden under the counter for years and available to anyone who asks for it quietly ) . And they still demanded our ration books to be used in the 1950’s. With dire consequences for disobedient shopkeepers.
Something that has changed t g s, since WW2. The P.M. has been convinced that it is because he is FAT, that he got the dreaded lurgey. So therefor WE must all lose weight. So therefor WE must stop eating butter. (Cows produce the dreaded methane too. Almost as bad as CO2.)
You think I am joking? I’ve had to suggest all sorts of crafty manoeuvres to my local food shop to obtain a daily Cheese Ploughman’s sandwhich from them.
It is the only variety offered which contains REAL genuine FOOD. Including BUTTER. All the rest are chemical laden, processed, low calorie rubbish.
