WHAT makes a super-ager? A recent article on Huffpost, the American online magazine, listed the lifestyle factors that keep people lively and active into old age. The usual reasons such as maintaining physical movement, socialising, learning new skills and having a sense of purpose were trotted out.
All of those are important, of course, but what has given me a new sense of purpose over the past six years has been my angry reaction to the covid nonsense. It has made me wake up and become painfully aware of what has really been going on which, in most cases, was not what we were led to believe.
From the start, I felt that something was seriously wrong and that we were being fed fake information, but I didn’t know exactly what. Everything just seemed manufactured and not to be trusted, so I started to do some research of my own.
It soon became apparent that the covid restrictions such as lockdowns, mask-wearing, social distancing and the insistence on incessant testing, were far more about fearmongering than staying healthy. It also became evident that we were being fed lies upon lies from government, the pharmaceutical industry and the mainstream media.
I tried to find an outlet to air my increasingly dissident view but it was not easy. The mainstream media, without exception, were cravenly plugging the party line and none was asking the awkward questions such as: how was it that a brand-new virus went round the world in minutes? How was it that millions if not billions of vaccines were instantly available when usually it takes at least ten years to develop a new one? How was it that millions if not billions of masks were on sale all over the world just days after the first lockdown was announced? How was it that Perspex screens suddenly appeared in all shops and supermarkets, ostensibly to protect staff from their customers? It should have been clear to anybody with half a brain that the manufacture of these items must have significantly predated the announcement of the first covid cases in January 2020. Not even the fastest factory in China working round the clock could have produced these artefacts on such a vast scale so soon after the initial covid cases were reported.
None of it made any sense. Yet none of it was queried. By contrast, we were ordered to comply with the most ridiculous rules, such as having to put on a mask in a café when going to the loo and staying six feet apart from our once nearest and dearest. The vast majority, the world over, unthinkingly kowtowed.
In September 2020 it was ordained that gatherings of more than six people were illegal. Christmas that year was cancelled. The mainstream media never challenged the logic of any of this, mainly, I suspect, because they were raking in revenue from government and NHS advertising, and in many cases accepting large sums from the Gates Foundation, arch-plugger of the covid vaccine.
As the baloney continued, who could we trust to be the voice of reason? Where could the few lone voices penetrating through to the truth find a home? Take a bow, TCW, which from the start was brave enough to go against the pronouncements from government yes-men (and yes-women) and publish authoritative and well-researched articles casting doubt on the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines and the folly of the covid restrictions.
That was where I came in. Suddenly I did not have to confine my thoughts and observations to my diary and a few like-minded individuals (very few, I’m afraid) but could publish them on the TCW website, where I found an audience. I also discovered that I was less alone than I imagined, as evidenced by the comments below my articles and the reports by other writers courageous enough to face the wrath of the prevailing orthodoxy and go out on a limb.
As I researched and dug deeper, some things became blindingly obvious in a way they had not quite done before. For instance, I realised that the medical profession was almost completely in the pay of the pharmaceutical companies, as were the formerly respected medical journals. Scales fell further from my eyes as I understood that drug companies were in the business of profit, not health, with the greatest profits coming from long-term medications of dubious merit such as statins, now taken by around eight million adults in the UK. I was also saddened to learn that many television doctors had received five-figure sums for pushing the covid vaccine and other medical interventions. How could we take any notice of them any more?
Vaccine manufacturers reported enormous profits from the covid vaccines, and as covid starts to lose its hold, drug companies are turning to another wonderful money-spinner: weight-loss jabs, once again being enthusiastically and uncritically promoted at every turn by the mainstream. The news that a million patients with heart problems will now be offered these jabs on the NHS will boost their already overflowing coffers even more.
Even six years on, the media, while reluctantly now acknowledging some harm from the covid jabs, continues to maintain that serious side effects are ‘rare’ compared with the millions of lives saved. Yet there is absolutely no evidence to support the assertion that any lives were saved. And yes, the boosters are still being pushed, with a new drive starting mid-April. Already I have had a phone call from the local health centre to come for ‘my’ booster. Just to scare us into submission, a new covid variant has been announced. Will people fall for it as they did before?
Thanks to the concerted efforts of the dissident writers and speakers who refused to be silenced, far fewer will be bamboozled than at first. Ever more people are realising that a huge ball of wool has been pulled over their eyes and that they have been royally taken in.
So if there is an elixir of youth, yes, it is important to look after one’s health, to keep moving and to cultivate a circle of friends and social activities. But most of all, what keeps us young is to have a strong sense of purpose, and once the penny dropped as to what was going on I could no longer remain quiet but had to gird my loins and speak out, whatever the cost.
It would have been easy enough to sit back, to play bridge or do jigsaws and while away my remaining years with such pastimes but late in life I have found a very important cause, one that keeps me active and, I hope, fighting fit.
And that is to get the truth out there.
