										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Thirty years of corrupt, ruinous rule has transformed a once functioning country into a failed state. Consequently, as the country heads for the general election, the priority of millions of disgruntled voters’ is to bring about change.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The details of the necessary changes are spelled out by the key opposition parties. But what they also need to spell out is their stance on two global narratives which promise to nullify the virtuous change voters seek and to subvert freedom.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Voters need to demand that the political party of their choice rejects the World Health Organisation’s global accord on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. By accepting the WHO agenda, a country’s individual sovereignty to determine its own health policies will be rescinded. But that is just the beginning. Once beholden to the dictates of the WHO, mandatory vaccines and digital passports will follow without which international travel and mobility will be denied.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As millions have since realised, the so-called Covid pandemic with its lockdown, masks, social distancing, closure of schools, churches, beaches, public amenities, mandatory, improperly tested vaccines was all unscientific and unconstitutional. But it was a trial run of how the broad public can be made to comply with fascist dictatorship.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The deadly effect of the WHO-promoted bio-weapon, falsely called a vaccine, is daily apparent wherever vaxxing was widespread. Mortality rates are up from between 8 and 16 percent. Sudden “unexplained” deaths of healthy, young people have become common. Illnesses caused by the vaccines are knocking years off life spans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Compliance with the WHO’s agenda has everything to do with depopulation and delimitation of national sovereignty and liberty. Health is the Trojan horse of the WHO and its WEF partner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rejection of the narrative that climate change is man-made and that only by eliminating fossil fuels can global warming be curtailed, is the other issue on which political parties need to make unambiguous declarations. Climate change is a natural historically proven reality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is socio-economic suicide to destroy our economy by adhering to the decarbonisation narrative which will plunge the country into a R1 trillion debt for so-called renewables which can never substitute the role of fossil fuels. That madness is further exacerbated by the availability of massive oil and gas fields off the Cape/Namibia coast.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Political parties that decline to recognise the Orwellian intentions of the WHO and WEF with regards to health and decarbonisation are unworthy of votes – regardless of how promising their policies are in terms of salvaging South Africa.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no dispute as to the influence the mass media wields in shaping opinions and population control. Nowhere was that more emphatic than during the campaign to promote masks and so-called vaccines over the past three years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is apparent from the number of people who persist in wearing masks despite the widely established scientific proof that masks do not impede viral penetration. Yet the mass media has never reported that fact.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The electronic and mass media exceeded saturation levels in promoting the jab, even urging that it be made mandatory. They maintained that narrative despite the proven reality that the so-called vaccines do not promote Covid immunity nor do they prevent viral transmission. Worse still, they denigrated the efficacy of a proven, inexpensive, effective viral treatment called ivermectin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What the mass media studiously ignored was the fact that 99% of those who experienced Covid recovered from it. In other words, Covid was never a pandemic. A real pandemic, such as the Black Death of the fourteenth century, kills tens of millions. Nevertheless, the mass media persisted in propagating the pandemic narrative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Significantly, ever since the pandemic delusion fizzled out seven months ago and the mass media quietly removed the slogans from their mastheads exhorting people to wear masks and to have the jab, the news cycle on the whole topic has disappeared.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Given the increasing reach of alternative media sources which are not beholden to the mass media narratives, the credibility of the mass media is in jeopardy. To remedy this reality, the mass media should apologise for withholding key information on the so-called pandemic.  Furthermore, it should be reporting the monthly VAERS –vaccine adverse events reporting system statistics. Compiled by the CDC, those stats monitor the mounting illnesses and fatalities caused by the so-called vaccines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>{ Of course, the mass media will no doubt ignore this appeal since they are in lockstep with Big Pharma and are owned by</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>high finance and Big Tech. But by copying this onto social media, one gives the information war momentum}</em></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It is often easier to believe a lie than to accept that you have been lied to. Gabi Marais’ continued belief in the efficacy of masks (<em>The Mercury,</em> June 24) is a case in point.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From the outset in March 2020, the dictate that masks were compulsory was the result of collusion between power-addicted politicians, always eager to impose controls over society and to inhibit freedom, and scientists beholden to the financial backing they depend upon from Big Pharma.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As I have pointed out on various occasions in these columns, there is a very practical reason masks are ineffective in inhibiting the transmission of the Covid virus: apertures in the average weave of masks are between 70 and 80 microns. The size of the Covid virus is one micron. So wearing a mask is as ineffective as erecting a chain-link fence and expecting to keep the mosquitoes out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Great Barrington Declaration, endorsed by more than 60,000 scientists and medical practitioners, opposed masks, lockdowns and social distancing as counter-productive. The correctness of their stand was proved in Sweden and South Dakota which did not apply mask mandates and did not experience any spike in Covid affliction.  The compilation of 400 independent studies by the Brownstone Institute in the US dismissed mask-wearing as futile.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Central to all aspects of the so-called Covid pandemic is that science has been falsely exploited by Big Pharma, the mass media and craven politicians. The billions in profits made as a result of the Covid protocols and the vaccines were intentional, not coincidental.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the fact that the vaccines do not produce immunity, despite the increasing numbers of deaths directly caused by them and their crippling effects, from miscarriages to heart ailments,  Gabi Marais’s fervent belief in the jab sadly proves the extent to which she and too many others have been conned by false narratives.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Professor Ramneek Ahluwalia’s lengthy discourse in <strong><em>Post</em></strong> May 18-22 on Covid-19, its variants and treatments, cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged in the light of concrete, contrary evidence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite 400 independent studies done by the Brownstone Institute in the US and despite the more than 60,000 medical signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration that there is no science in wearing masks because they do not inhibit viral transmission,  Professor Ahluwalia insists on their efficacy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How does he explain that neither Sweden nor South Dakota prescribed masks, yet the health of their respective populations was not subject to any exceptional, negative consequences?  But where Ahluwalia really loses the plot on masks is his contention that “wearing a mask will prevent you from contracting the ‘flu.” If that were true, then ‘flu would have been banished long ago and few of those over-the-counter ‘flu meds would be on sale.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He cites sneezing, nasal congestion, sore throat, coughing and fatigue as indicators of a mutation of Omnicron. So what happened to the ‘flu, Professor? Those are common ‘flu symptoms which have been largely suppressed and re-purposed as Covid indicators so as to sustain the pandemic narrative. Significantly, but not surprisingly, Ahluwalia makes no mention of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as being proven, effective Covid treatments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What is particularly disingenuous about Ahluwalia’s discourse is his claim that the so-called vaccines restore immunity. This is the most tragic and outrageous claim by certain members of the medical profession despite growing evidence to the contrary. Sixteen months of observation by the Centre of Disease Control and the UK Health ministry has found that vaxxing is ineffective in preventing Covid or Omnicron transmission while causing depletion of natural immunity. Israel, Portugal and Germany – all 90% vaxxed – are overwhelmed by re-infections.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By attributing the absence of mass infections and hospitalisations to the extent of vaxxing in South Africa, Ahluwalia really shows serious ignorance. It is an accepted fact that only about 30% of the population has been vaxxed. Resistance to Omicron and whatever new variant is being contrived, therefore is the result of natural immunity and cannot be attributed to vaxxing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Worse still is Ahluwalia’s silence on the monthly increases in the number of adverse effects and deaths which the so-called vaccines are causing. These can be accessed from the VAERS data – vaccine adverse effects reporting system. The most recent VAERS data, up to May 6, shows 27,968 deaths and 228,477 serious health defects caused by the so-called vaccines. No other vaccine in medical history has ever been allowed to cause such harm before being withdrawn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yet Ahluwalia advocates vaccination of children from the age of 12 despite consensus from many independent studies proving children have a stronger natural immunity than adults and despite shocking data showing unprecedented heart ailments in children who have been vaxxed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is saddening and maddening to see the extensive coverage afforded to Professor Ahluwalia’s echoing of the fear narrative propounded by the World Health Organisation and its adherents propagating falsehoods about Covid and its treatments.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">Since the onset of the Covid-19 infection and the subsequent availability of vaccines, psychology has been exploited relentlessly in justifying lockdowns, facemask conformity, social distancing, quarantines and vaccine acceptance. The front-page reports in The Mercury in recent days of Covid-19 and measures to encourage vaccination to attest to that.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">But the orthodox narrative is crumbling. Former Sunday Times editor Brian Pottinger in his latest book titled States of panic: Covid-19 and the New Medieval, lifts the lid on what has been deliberately suppressed by the mainstream media and politicians.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">The release of mortality figures for 2020 in the UK and US indicate an inexplicable decline in rates from cancer, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema compared with averages of the previous five years. The NHS in Britain has confessed that one in four of its Covid hospital admissions were actually being treated for other conditions. In the face of numerous, worldwide court actions, the WHO has admitted that the Covid death toll it claimed was “nothing of the sort.”</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">Thus, it is now in the open that Covid-19 has been deliberately entered as a cause of death in order to contrive the perception that it is a pandemic. Pottinger’s research shows that in fact, although a serious viral outbreak, Covid-19 is no worse than the severe influenza afflictions of 1957 and 1968 from which humanity survived without lockdowns, masks and vaccines. Sweden has just confirmed that by not having any Covid restrictions yet posting the lowest infection and mortality rates in Europe.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">Statistics published on August 16 prove the fallacy of the so-called pandemic. Of 386,341 Covid-19 cases in KZN, 12,535 deaths are attributed to the virus. That means a 96,76% recovery rate which is proof that Covid-19 is not a pandemic and that none of the government restrictions on the economy and society is justified nor is the psychological pressure to submit to the unproven efficacy of the vaccines.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">The irony of the whole situation and the reaction to it proves the adage that most people value safety and security more than freedom even if what is presented as promising safety is neither proven nor necessary.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">It is ironic that in regulating civil liberties in response to the Covid-19 virus, which has included the mandatory wearing of face masks, the ANC has unmasked itself.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">Anxious to exploit the lockdown so as to accelerate its national democratic revolution, the goal of which is a totalitarian communist state, the ANC has exposed its hard core socialist nature and intent. Nowhere was that more apparent than in the declaration by Ramaphosa himself when he stated his objective of getting rid of the “racist, colonialist based economy” and replacing it with a state-controlled one.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">Having derived his billionaire wealth from the economic system he now despises, Ramaphosa has unmasked his hypocrisy. The state-controlled economy he envisages has a history of impoverishment and failure. It’s the reason the USSR collapsed and why people flee from Cuba and Venezuela.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">Micromanagement, which is one of the hallmarks of socialist societies, has been glaringly evident in the undemocratic and irrational regulations imposed by the secretive National Command Centre. The arbitrary arrests of people and police brutality we have witnessed, despite the provisions of the Bill of Rights, have reflected the type of callous disregard with which citizens of the Soviet Union were treated.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">The fact that the ANC regime is now sending police to communist China to be trained is further evidence of its unmasked character. Is there a parallel here with Zimbabwe when Mugabe used North Korean-trained forces to bludgeon the Ndebele into submission? Should we be joining the dots to what minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said recently about inducing “class suicide” (referring, of course, to whites) so as to expedite the establishment of a one-party, socialist state? Her rhetoric certainly resembles the Marxist-Leninist philosophy that a society must be ended before it can be mended.</p>
<p class="wb-stl-normal" style="text-align: justify;">The most significant feature the lockdown has unmasked is the real nature and intent of an organisation that claims to be a liberator of human rights. The brutal and senseless killing of Collins Khoza along with draconian, jackboot, undemocratic, regulatory micromanagement and the wrecking of education and the economy has exposed the ANC for what it really is: a communist front hellbent on dystopia for the masses while the party elite, like the pigs in Orwell’s Animal Farm, enjoys secluded luxury.</p>
