From Kathy Gyngell, Editor TCW, Defending Freedom

MY WEEK began with thoughts of the Stop the Isolation rally still very much ‘front of head’, where they stayed for most of the week. Partly because I’d put my head above the parapet, but also due to what I saw and felt there, from being at this event in person: seeing all those people with no other voice or platform, dispossessed and forsaken, starkly symbolised in the biting cold by the visible ill health of the disabled sitting in the carefully railed-off VIP area in front of the stand, waiting for the rally to begin.

Thinking about it afterwards brought my very first speech (age 11, at a school speaking competition) back to me, when I ‘declaimed’ on the miserable conditions of the miners and steelworkers living in the ‘back-to-backs’ of my dad’s parish in Rotherham. They were just down the road from our vicarage, where my school friend Pat lived. I’ll never forget, age 5 or 6, going into her home. Her family had no furniture that I could see, just boxes. The same sense of ‘wrongness’ overcame me on Saturday. I’ve come full circle, I thought.

In a funny way, the Saturday experience was worse. Adding to the aura of infirmity and hardship was something else: identity, stripped or unrecognised; people who’ve been labelled, shunned and, above all, excluded. Ironic, is it not? The nonpersons in the eyes of the political establishment and media elite that Orwell predicted in 1949; the only group not allowed its own community leader.

I know it is not new, but at risk of mixing my metaphors, it has all become worse since Brexit and Trump winning the presidency. That’s when all hands went on deck for the good ships ‘Censorship’ and ‘Oppression’. It’s since then that the new world order has tightened its grip – not least with the help of covid. This week, thanks to Donald Trump’s dramatic dismantlement of United States Agency for International Development (USAID), it’s all burst right out into the open.

I had to laugh. What media outlet could ignore the $268million dollars it has taken from them across more than 30 countries? Or that 6,200 ‘journalists’, 707 news outlets, and 279 media-sector civil society organizations, who between them spent $1.5million to ‘advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities,’ $2.5million for electric vehicles for Vietnam, $2million for sex changes and ‘LGBT activism’ in Guatemala, have lost their funding? That includes our own ‘national’ broadcaster, the BBC. Elon Musk posted: ‘USAID has been paying media organizations to publish their propaganda’. Worse than that, if you have been reading our Joe Rogan and Mike Benz interview transcripts, it’s at the centre of a disinformation network.

It’s a hard read, but a must read.

Benz’s organigram of ‘The Whole of Society Counter Misinformation Framework’, in which USAID is key, was designed to manipulate other countries’ internal politics. This is the massive network, or spider’s web, that has effectively suppressed critical thinking and dissident voices worldwide, like ours at TCW (since 2017 in particular), whether over woke, covid or globalism. The great news, Benz told Tucker Carlson on Friday, is that Trump is conducting ‘open heart surgery on the vital organs of the American empire [and that] it has to be done’.

Tucker’s excitement was palpable: ‘It’s wild how fast things can change’. I am forever cautious. We still have to see whether this ‘surgery’ will catch up with the ‘scamdemic’. Trump’s appointment of Dr Gerald Parker to be the Director of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy, which I read about courtesy of James Roguski yesterday, is not good news. The need for change on that front is pressing.

The People’s Vaccine Inquiry conference that I went to on Tuesday was a sharp reminder of how the ruthless silencing of covid dissent is still the norm. Organised by the indefatigable Dr Ros Jones to, in her words, ‘untangle some of the omissions and misrepresentations at the Hallett Inquiry “Vaccine Injury” Module 4 hearings’, it told the story of censorship, and of Hallett’s cynical suppression of any debate – however informed and expert – on the urgent need to halt the unsafe and ineffective mRNA vaccines.

What the shocked audience were told was, although some vaccine injured were invited on to give evidence (they couldn’t get round that), Hallett, a top-marks student of information control, had not called any of the key expert critics of the covid vaccines as witnesses. Despite their impressive evidence submissions, neither Dr Jonathan Engler, Dr Ros Jones, Dr Elizabeth Evans, Dr Clare Craig nor Mr Nick Hunt were called. As Andrew Bridgen, sitting a couple of seats away from me, said, ‘it’s been a whitewash from start to finish’, and the provisions of Tony Blair’s (statutory) Public Inquiries Act of 2005 saw to that. Hence the event, to try and get their urgent expert evidence out there to journalists over the head of the inquiry. No easy task.

Their silencing – pathologists and oncologists included – has proved effective, as if they had been sent by Stalin to languish in the Gulag. Like the genuinely skilled doctors Stalin couldn’t call on when he needed them, todays’ experts are excluded from helping with the country’s exploding cancer crisis or offering their expert insights into other once rare illnesses that have taken people’s lives since the vaccine rollouts. Yet this comes without apparent top-down tyranny (that’s kept for the working class deplorables); it is virtual imprisonment dictated by civil society as well as the political establishment. Even the testimonies of the brutally vaccine-injured at the inquiry are ‘slipping between the cracks’ of media coverage, YouTube commenter Dr John Campbell mourned on an episode of his show last week.

Behind the ‘appearance of democracy’, everything is coordinated to stop its natural expression, as Mike Benz has so painstakingly documented, analysed and explained.

Well, we at TCW continue to defy it, waiting and hoping for Elon Musk to discover our very special guerilla force that has kept dissent going. Each day next week, we’ll be publishing individual presentations from The People’s Vaccine Inquiry, damning and inspiring in equal measure.I hope also to run a devastating video from an Edinburgh colorectal surgeon, so look out on Monday for Dr Engler’s masterly introductory speech. Throughout the Hallett Inquiry, he said, many false assertions have been made, and it has been ensured that these remain unchallenged: ‘who exactly is spreading mis – or dis – information?’, he asked on Tuesday. A few days later, he got his answer.

For my endnote, I just want to say how much the many positive emails and texts I got about my speech demanding the release of Tommy Robinson warmed my heart. Thank you – they mean a lot. I had not expected it to be popular, and the mixed reception it got is reflected on our letters page, but I stand fast by my decision to speak out. Make no mistake, whether by prison or social shunning, all dissenters are treated as deplorables.
