Mark Drakeford, the great bungler​

Wales’ farcical ‘fire-break’ lockdown has failed to get Covid under control.

Welsh first minister Mark Drakeford was quick to claim credit for himself and the government he leads when Covid case levels were falling. But now that Wales has rising cases, he’s keen to blame everybody else for not following his complex and absurd rules.

The people of Wales reluctantly went along with the daft 17-day ‘fire-break’ lockdown, dreamed up by Drakeford and health minister Vaughan Gething, which ended on 9 November. It involved such irrational rules as being able to fill your supermarket trolley with as much booze as you like, while aisles selling kettles, toasters and socks had to be sealed off.

We were told the purpose of the ‘fire-break’ lockdown was to reduce infection numbers and to allow a degree of normal life to resume in the run-up to Christmas. Evidently, Drakeford and Gething have failed in their objectives.

The Welsh government hasn’t taken responsibility for its appalling handling of the pandemic, which spans well beyond the farce over non-essential items. There has been no acknowledgement of its failings in the care-home fiasco, along with bungled testing and data breaches.

UK government statistics show that the seven-day rolling rate of new Covid cases is very high across the South Wales Valleys and in Swansea. In England, these levels of infection can be found in substantial parts of Kent and Essex, but elsewhere they are restricted to small, localised flare-ups.

The picture in other parts of Wales is very different. The rate of infection in Gwynedd, north Wales, is among the lowest anywhere in the UK. Neighbouring Conwy is only marginally higher, as is the whole of Powys in mid Wales.

For all its faults, there is, at least, a certain logic to the three-tier system in England. Areas where rates are soaring face far more restrictions than those where numbers are lower, thereby allowing economic activity and a semblance of normal life to resume.

Yet thanks to Drakeford and Gething, there is one set of blanket rules in force across Wales, regardless of infection rates. Café owners in Bangor are effectively being punished because of flare-ups in places more than 150 miles away, where many local people will never have been to in their lives.

Drakeford and his cabinet neither know nor care very much about the worlds of business and enterprise. They don’t understand or appreciate the years of sweat and graft that are needed to build up the small businesses that are going to the wall as a direct result of his government’s draconian and illogical measures.

Most of the cabinet come from backgrounds in teaching, journalism, the public sector, the trade-union movement and the charity sector. In June 2019, Wales' deputy economy minister Lee Waters (a former journalist and charity-sector worker) let his guard down when he said: ‘For 20 years we’ve pretended we know what we’re doing on the economy – and the truth is we don’t really know what we’re doing on the economy. Everybody is just making it up as we go along – and let’s just be honest about that.’

That same ‘make it up as we go along’ mindset is epitomised in Drakeford and Gething’s handling of the pandemic. At the start of December, the Welsh government announced that licensed pubs, cafés and restaurants would have to stop selling alcohol on their premises, and close at 6pm every day until further notice. Many decided it wasn’t worth opening at all.

Since the ‘fire-break’ lockdown, supermarkets and off-licenses in Wales have been forbidden from selling alcohol after 10pm. It’s worth remembering that at the start of March, Drakeford’s government introduced minimum pricing on alcohol in a bid to curb excessive drinking.

Under the current barmy rules, at 10.30pm I can pop to my local convenience store for some milk for the morning, but I cannot buy a bottle of wine to enjoy while watching a late film. Nobody can explain how this will in any way help prevent the spread of Covid. It is nannying and state interference in our lives.

Drakeford has no mandate for his actions. At the 2016 election, the Welsh Labour Party, led by Carwyn Jones, won 29 of the 60 seats in the Welsh Assembly on a centre-left manifesto, with turnout a miserable 45.3 per cent. Jones was succeeded by the Corbynista Drakeford in 2018. The people of Wales have never given their consent to his nannying agenda.

More than 100 Welsh pubs have barred Mark Drakeford as a result of his latest measures, which is symbolic of the lack of respect with which he is increasingly held among the wider population. For many in Wales, elections scheduled for next May (but which could yet be postponed by Drakeford) can’t come around quickly enough.

News of an outbreak at a Valard work camp near Pickle Lake, ON gives interesting insight into the pandemic Doug Ford is working so hard to control.

Each Sunday Hydro One employees depart Thunder Bay and Fort Frances to travel the 700 kms to Pickle Lake returning home again on Thursday. How nice for the few people left that live there that not only outsiders come in to do the local work but that they have also brought a virus with them. More important than it sounds though for the first nation communities located to the north when all supplies pass through.

How in the world can a provincial corporation operate in such a careless manner completely ignorant of the concern of health for local residents. It used to be a good way to stash a crew away from public scrutiny but now it is a health concern. Pickle Lake should sue the provincial government.

Brand new F450 trucks as well is another example of the disregard for saving taxpayer dollars. The vicious circle has to end. For me it will be when I die.

Anyone interested check out Pickle Lake, Thunder Bay, and Fort Frances on a map. The contact tracing network will be enormous. 2016 Census population of Pickle lake was 366. Can't say where the Valard employees came from but once again one arm of government has no clue what the other one is doing. The people just pay.

Well, over 300,000 Americans have now died of something, and had it attributed to Covid.

But we know they all died from something else, cuz Covid is a hoax to control us.

No, that is a canard used to discredit honest researchers (both professional and private) who have accurately disseminated the data and reached the logical conclusion that the response is wholly inappropriate and unscientific.
Dying with, and dying from are two very different beasts, the data is once again unequivocal on this. The vast majority are elderly with 2 or more co-morbitities and residing in long-term care facilities (see data charts below).

If you cannot see they are using a virus that 96.9% of us won't get, and of that 99.73% survive, to control us, then you are simply not paying attention.

The science is available for you to research yourself, and you better do it or we will be ushered into their 'new normal', or 'great reset' without our consent or input (dissent will not be an option, and will be met with force, as already seen around the world).
They are telling you what they are planning and doing in the wide open, and you are thanking them, and demanding more, for your chains.

Do you think this really a 'new normal', that there is no historical precedence for a sociast/fascist/tyrannical takeover?
My family fled from the same actors, carrying out the same procedure, that led to the deaths of over 25 million of their friends and family.
Don't think for a secodn they will not murder to get their plans implemented, see last image below.

This below quote is from John Hopkins before they realized it did not fit their plans and scrubbed it:
She explained that the significance of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths can be fully understood only through comparison to the number of total deaths in the United States.

After retrieving data on the CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared.

Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.

“The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals,” Briand said.

Briand also noted that 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen both before and after COVID-19, indicating that this number of deaths was normal long before COVID-19 emerged. Therefore, according to Briand, not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it has also not increased the total number of deaths.

These data analyses suggest that in contrast to most people’s assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.

This comes as a shock to many people. How is it that the data lie so far from our perception?
The CDC classified all deaths that are related to COVID-19 simply as COVID-19 deaths. Even patients dying from other underlying diseases but are infected with COVID-19 count as COVID-19 deaths. This is likely the main explanation as to why COVID-19 deaths drastically increased while deaths by all other diseases experienced a significant decrease.

“All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary,” Briand concluded.

Hypocrites and #COVID19

Watch how he laughs when he says at 3:45 - 3:55:
"This is not something I've indulged in in the past....I take this very seriously what we are promoting..."
They all do this, because they truly are psychopaths that revel in their power and blood-lust (watch gates' and his wife's' smiles, and their countenance really light-up when they speak of harm, death and destruction).

This is their psychopathy mixed with something called 'Duper's Delight':

Psychology Today: Neither a perfectly-crafted mask nor the world's most charming repartee can fully camouflage a lack of emotional empathy, which is the defining hallmark of both psychopathy and narcissism. A person cannot wholly fake that which they do not experience, even if they say and do “all the right things.” So while your conscious mind focuses on an individual's statements and conversational style, your subconscious registers possible discrepancies between that person's outward comportment and his hidden feelings. Stay attuned to both avenues of information if you suspect you are in the presence of a person who wants to manipulate you, or who is nothing like the entity they are conjuring in conversation. Link

The phrase was coined by the psychologist and body language expert Dr Paul Ekman and was defined by him as “the pleasure we get over having someone else in our control and being able to manipulate them”.

Duping delight most often manifests as a grin or a smirk which will flash across a person’s face, and is usually completely inappropriate to the situation or the topic that is being spoken about. The psychopath is either about to lie, or is lying to someone and they are believing it, and the smirk is a leaked expression of pleasure that they are getting away with it. Link

Here is another example of a psychopath trying to emote like a normal decent human being,
the comments are quite good, with many people seeing through the deceit.

How is This a Thing?​

It's highly suspicious that they want to take choice away from people when it comes to the vaccines.



Those who receive the government injectable will be given a "freedom pass" - that is, a piece of paper that allows you to live a normal life. Those who don't take the government injectable will no longer be free. Creepy and sinister...



The "virus", lockdowns, wearing the population down and the Great Reset...
