Stuff you need to know about money

25TH MAY 2023

Money (real money) is one of the few weapons we have with which to fight the tyranny which we face together. Money is what they have used to give themselves power and money provides us with a tithe of the power we will need in order to survive.

You need to be able to save regularly, and to invest wisely. And most important of all you need to be able to make money with your own resources and to be able to make your money work for you.

Here are some basic facts about money that you should know.

A recession, deepening into a depression is inevitable. It is indeed part of the globalists’ deliberate policy. The twin menace of fake climate change and the Great Reset have been wildly underestimated by analysts and financial commentators who simply don’t understand that everything that is happening is happening on purpose. Nothing is happening by accident and there are no coincidences.

It is certain that taxes are going to continue rising indefinitely.

Anyone who banks online needs psychiatric care.

The mainstream media is bought and utterly unreliable. And 95% of what you see on the internet is also utterly unreliable. The media merely provides misinformation.

Natural gas prices go down at the end of each winter and then go up again at the start of each winter. Make of that what you can.

Investment professionals make money when you make money and they make money when you lose money. They never share your losses.

When financial experts all agree then they are usually wrong.

When investment professionals offer advice they are subjectively talking up their own book. In other words, they are biased and have an agenda which they do not share with you.

It is no longer safe to buy a share and hold it for life. Many well-known companies have disappeared entirely in the last few decades.

All shares are cyclical.

There are three prices for investments: cheap, fair and expensive. If you can buy cheap and sell expensive you will make money.

Before making an investment you should decide whether you want an income (through dividends) or a capital gain.

If an investment you have made does well you should consider selling a third when the price has doubled. Then sell another third when the price doubles again. Keep doing this so that you don’t lose money but do take profits.

You can find everything I know about money in my book Moneypower which is available on Amazon. My recent and future investment plans are summarised in my latest book They want your money and your life which is also available on Amazon.

The conspirators want to keep you ignorant. When you are ignorant you are vulnerable.

Financial markets are all manipulated and entirely dishonest. Remember that. Financial advisors, analysts, bankers, pension fund managers and financial journalists are all crooks. Remember that. They are not interested in helping you make money.

Generally speaking, investing is a zero sum game: someone loses and someone gains.

When the market runs out of buyers the price of anything will fall.

The number of reasons to buy a share, bond or other investment will increase as the price rises.

Investment is all about psychology and behaviour.

Don’t confuse ‘signals’ and ‘noise’. There is a real risk that you will take too much notice of the ‘noise’ and ignore the ‘signals’.

The Whooping Cough Vaccine

29TH MAY 2023

The following paper is taken from The Health Scandal by Vernon Coleman, published in 1988 by Sidgwick and Jackson and in 1989 by Mandarin Paperbacks. A new version of The Health Scandal is now available via the shop on this website.

The story of the whooping-cough vaccine provides us with another example of dishonesty and deceit in medicine.

There has been controversy about the whooping-cough vaccine for many years and the Department of Health and Social Security has consistently managed to convince the majority of medical staff to support the official line that the vaccine is both safe and effective. Once again the official DHSS line pays little attention to the facts. Put bluntly, the DHSS (on behalf of successive governments) has consistently lied about the risks and problems associated with the whooping-cough vaccine.

I'll explain exactly why I think that governments have lied (and this is not intended as a slight on any one political party – as far as I'm aware all political parties have followed exactly the same line on this matter) a little later. For the time being I'd like to concentrate solely on the facts.

The first point that should be made is that although official spokesmen claim otherwise, the whooping-cough vaccine has never had much of an influence on the number of children dying from whooping cough. The dramatic fall in the number of deaths caused by the disease came well before the vaccine was widely available and was, historians agree, the result of improved public health measures and, indirectly, the use of antibiotics.

It was in 1957 that the whooping-cough vaccine was first introduced nationally in Britain – although the vaccine was tried out in the late 1940s and early 1950s. But the incidence of whooping cough_, and the number of children dying from the disease, had both fallen very considerably well before 1957. So, for example, while doctors reported 170,000 cases of whooping cough in 1950 they reported only about 80,000 cases in 1955. The introduction of the vaccine really didn't make very much, if any, difference to the fall in the incidence of the disease. Even today, thirty years after the introduction of the vaccine, whooping-cough cases are still running at about 1,000 a week in Britain.

Similarly, the figures show that the introduction of the vaccine had no effect on the number of children dying from whooping cough. The mortality rate associated with the disease had been falling appreciably since the early part of the twentieth century and rapidly since the 1930s and 1940s – showing a particularly steep decline after the introduction of the sulphonamide drugs. Whooping cough is undoubtedly an extremely unpleasant disease but it has not been a major killer for many years. The DHSS has frequently forecast fresh whooping-cough epidemics but none of the forecast epidemics has produced the devastation predicted. My second point is that the whooping-cough vaccine is neither very efficient nor is it safe. The efficiency of the vaccine is of subsidiary interest – although thousands of children who have been vaccinated do still get the disease – the greatest controversy surrounds the safety of the vaccine. The DHSS has always claimed that serious adverse reactions to the whooping-cough vaccine are extremely rare and the official suggestion is that the risk of a child being brain damaged by the vaccine is no higher than one in 100,000. Now leaving aside the fact that I find a risk of one in 100,000 unacceptable, it is interesting to examine this figure a little more closely, for after a little research work it becomes clear that the figure of one in 100,000 is a guess.

Over the last decade or two, numerous researchers have studied the risks of brain damage following whooping-cough vaccination and their results make fascinating reading. Between 1960 and 1981, for example, nine reports were published showing that the risk of brain damage varied between one in 6,000 and one in 100,000. The average was a risk of one in 50,000. It is clear from these figures that the DHSS has simply chosen the figure which showed the whooping­ cough vaccine to be least risky. Moreover, the one in 100,000 figure did not come from any rock solid research. It was itself an estimate – a guess.

These are just a couple of the important facts about the whooping­cough vaccine that have been ignored or overlooked or disguised by the DHSS. But they are not the only facts that have been distorted.

Although the DHSS consistently claims that whooping cough is a dangerous disease, the figures show that it is not the indiscriminate killer it is made out to be. Whooping cough causes around four deaths a year in Britain. Compare that to approximately 300 deaths caused by tuberculosis and 100 deaths caused by meningitis. Most of the victims of whooping cough are babies under three months old. That fact is particularly important because the vaccine is never given to babies under three months old.

The truth about the whooping-cough vaccine is that it has always been a disaster. The vaccine has already been withdrawn in other countries because of the amount of brain damage associated with its use. In Japan, Sweden and West Germany the vaccine has been omitted from regular vaccination schedules. In America two out of three whooping-cough vaccine manufacturers have stopped making the vaccine because of the cost of lawsuits. On 6 December 1985 the Journal of the American Medical Association published a major report showing that the whooping-cough vaccine is, without doubt, linked to the development of serious brain damage. And even here in Britain the DHSS has been so worried about the vaccine that for ten years it has been paying research workers at Porton Down to search for ways to make a new, safer, more effective whooping-cough vaccine. At long last, after a £5 million research programme, a new vaccine is indeed being tested on children.

The final nail in the coffin lid is the fact that the British Government has already paid out compensation to the parents of some 800 children who have been brain damaged by the whooping-cough vaccine. Some parents who accepted damages a few years ago were given £10,000. More recently parents have been getting £20,000.

It is a startling fact that for many years now the whooping-cough vaccine has been killing or severely injuring more children than the disease itself. Since 1979 around 800 children (or their parents) have received money from the Government for vaccine-produced brain damage. In the same period less than 100 children have been killed by whooping cough. I think that makes the vaccine more dangerous than the disease. And that, surely, is quite unacceptable. So, why has the DHSS continued to encourage doctors to use the vaccine?

There are two possible explanations. The first explanation is the more generous of the two and concerns the Government's responsibility for the health of the community as a whole. The theory here is that by encouraging millions of parents to have their children vaccinated the Government can reduce the incidence of the disease in the community. In the long run this reduces the risk of there being any future epidemics of whooping cough. In other words the Government risks the lives of individual children for the good of the next generation.

The second, less charitable explanation is that the DHSS is looking after its own interests by continuing to claim that the whooping-cough vaccine is safe enough to use. In 1987 there were 258 sets of parents preparing to sue the DHSS for damages. They claim that the whooping-cough vaccine damaged their children. They are claiming something in the region of £250,000 each. If the DHSS withdrew the whooping-cough vaccine, it would be admitting that the vaccine was dangerous. And it would obviously lose its court cases. Such an admission would, therefore, cost it 258 times £250,000.

And that would be just the beginning for there are, you will remember, 800 sets of parents who have already received payments from the Government of either £10,000 or £20,000. If the DHSS admitted liability (and those payments did not include an admission of liability), then it is fair to assume that the DHSS would find itself with several hundred more lawsuits – and a damages bill running into billions of pounds.

Whatever explanation you consider most accurate the unavoidable fact is that the Government (in the form of the DHSS) has consistently lied about the whooping-cough vaccine, has distorted the truth and has deceived both the medical profession (for the majority of doctors and nurses who give these injections accept the recommendations made by the DHSS without question) and millions of parents.

The DHSS may have saved itself a tidy sum in damages. But the cost to the nation's health has been enormous. And this, remember, is merely one more example of the way in which the truth has been distorted by those whom we trust to provide us with honest, accurate advice about medicine and health care.

Passing Observations 167

25TH MAY 2023

The British taxpayers are spending £369 million on doing up Buckingham Palace. But Charles, the man who would be king, doesn’t want to live there. He wants to live in his other 39 palaces and castles (perhaps because they’re less likely to be targeted by Russian bombs). So, why in the name of everything royal, are taxpayers spending so much money tarting up an empty building? It would make far more sense for the Government to turn the monstrosity into a few dozen premium apartments and sell them to foreigners who find the address appealing. Taxpayers would then make money out of Buckingham Palace instead of having to fork out several fortunes to make it look pretty for absolutely no good reason.

We have an infestation of false black widow spiders. They look as scary as they sound and although they may not be quite as venomous as black widow spiders they’re not the sort of creature you want living in your slippers. We’ve not had a good year so far. We’ve had two blocked drains, a broken bath, two leaks in the roof, a fridge that stopped working, a central heating system that leaked and had to be turned off, a tree that’s died and has to be taken down at absurd expense and a dishwasher that appears to have given up the ghost. Oh and my laptop computer has decided to stop working. I hope someone buys a book soon. There are plenty available via the bookshop on this website.

A total of 29 doctors died while being investigated by the General Medical Council in the UK between 2018 and 2020. Five of those were confirmed suicides. In my view the GMC is a savage and inhuman organisation which is directly responsible for those deaths.

Schools which give children iPads and similar devices in lieu of teaching should be closed down.

‘No one knows anything,’ said screenwriter William Goldman. He was talking about Hollywood but he could have been talking about anything.

I know I annoy people from time to time. But that’s what writers are supposed to do. When I was young I always thought I’d like `He made people think’ on my grave. And it still seems apt. If you don’t read stuff that annoys you, by questioning your beliefs, then you’ll never learn anything.

A typical smart phone needs 70 different elements. All of these have to be dug out of the ground using heavy machinery and lots of diesel fuel. Most of the essential elements required are controlled by the Chinese.

India now has a bigger population than China.

‘Everywhere I have sought peace and not found it, except in a corner with a book.’ - Thomas a Kempis.

Britain’s public sector employs 10.6 million people. This means that one in three people is employed by the State. That is why productivity in Britain is the worst in the world and the economy in Britain is the worst in the world.

I wonder if there is a high ranking armed forces officer in the US or the UK who has ever won a battle. Just wondering.

It is possible to argue that Colonel Gaddafi of Libya did good things for his people. NATO destroyed him and his country and imposed Western values. Apparently, you can now buy slaves in Libya.

‘To encourage Literature and the Arts is a duty which every good Citizen owes to his country.’ – George Washington. Sadly, some universities in the UK are now dropping English literature courses.

‘How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.’ – Henry David Thoreau.

The public voted to leave the EU but the Government’s plan to ditch thousands of useless and damaging EU laws by the end of 2023 was abandoned after Remainer peers in the House of Lords said they would oppose the action and defy the public vote. The House of Lords is a dangerous anachronism which should have been shut down and sold off for residential accommodation decades ago.

An astonishing 30% of all the countries in the world now face sanctions from the US, the UK, Japan and the EU.

Commonest Lies told by Climate Change Psychos

26TH MAY 2023

The wild and reckless global warming fascists who claim that the world is getting hotter (or possibly colder) as a result of man’s activities tell a great many lies. The same lies are then repeated by politicians, journalists, half-crazy alarmists, campaigners, people who demonstrate and children who probably have difficulty with their two times table but who like to regard themselves as experts on meteorological eccentricities. Naturally, the hysterical fruitcakes who believe in climate change (like the idiots who promote the covid-19 vaccine) refuse to debate their beliefs.

Here are just a few of the most egregious lies which are told by this miserable band of lunatics:

They claim that the climate has changed and is changing rapidly. What they don’t bother to mention is that the climate has always changed. It has changed for billions of years and will doubtless continue to do so. Although a good many lies are told there is no evidence that these changes have been exacerbated or accelerated by cows, motor cars or aeroplanes.

They claim that the world is heading for a crisis. They have been forecasting this for decades. Every specific forecast has come and gone without anything happening. Claims that the sea is going to rise to dangerous levels are entirely fictitious and are nothing more than reckless, irresponsible scare mongering.

No one knows just what damage carbon dioxide emissions may do or how relevant they are. The increase in the amount of carbon dioxide began before oil and gas were in wide use. Human beings themselves are natural producers of carbon dioxide and many of those promoting the climate change myth believe that the answer is to reduce the world’s population from around 8 billion down to 500 million.

It is not true that all or even most climate scientists agree that climate change exists or is a threat. Most independent scientists agree that the media has wildly exaggerated the dangers. A recent paper reported that that just 0.3% of scientists agree that humans are causing climate change. The climate change psychos claim that 97% of scientists support their arguments but this is, quite simply, dangerous nonsense designed to promote a myth. The alleged climate change risks are merely assumptions based on guesses based on wishful thinking. Many of the scientists and writers who promote the climate change myth are receiving huge sums of money from activists, pressure groups and non-governmental organisations. There are hidden agendas behind the myth.

Weather forecasters claim to know what the weather will be like in 50 years’ time. This is odd because they admit that forecasting a few weeks ahead is difficult and much of the time they seem to have trouble telling us what the weather will be like tomorrow.

They claim that hurricanes and tornadoes are more frequent and stronger. The evidence shows that this is not true. There is absolutely no evidence that hurricanes or tornadoes are stronger or more common. Nor is there any evidence that snowstorms or floods are worse or less than they were decades ago. If there is more flooding of houses it is because houses are built on flood plains or that rivers are not properly dredged.

They claim that wildfires are commoner and more destructive. This is palpably untrue. There are fewer serious wildfire events today than there were decades ago.

They claim that sea levels are rising rapidly and are the cause of coastal erosion. These are lies. Coastal erosion is a common, historical problem and has nothing to do with sea levels. Sea levels have been unaffected by climate change. Modest changes in sea levels are normal and of little consequence.

Wind turbines which are widely promoted as an alternative to coal, oil and gas are unreliable and therefore useless. They produce electricity intermittently (only when the wind blows) and they require so much energy to build and maintain that they are energy negative. The energy required to build and maintain the wind turbines comes from oil, gas and coal.

Solar panels are also inefficient and unreliable. No electricity is produced by them when the sun is not out and this means that no electricity is produced at night. Solar panels require huge amounts of land and are remarkably inefficient. They require a good deal of energy to produce and install.

The myth of climate change is being promoted by a toxic mixture of rancid politicians, businessmen, celebrities and journalists – most of whom have a vested financial and political interest in selling their lies.

Most of those promoting the climate change myth are acting in their self-interest and not in the interest of the planet or the people. Indeed, their actions are directly opposed to the public good.

Everywhere you look the lies stand out.

The production of batteries to store electricity and the making of electric cars are a waste of time, money and energy and they require the building and running of massive mines in order to find and dig up the minerals required.

The evidence proves conclusively that electric cars are considerably more damaging to the planet than cars driven by internal combustion engines. The self-righteous bleatings of those promoting, making, selling and using electric cars would be pitiful if they were not so dangerous and damaging.

Dishonesty in Medical Research

26TH MAY 2023

Recent research suggests that a quarter of all the papers published in medical journals are either ‘plagiarised’ or simply ‘made up’.

Some observers seem surprised by this.

They shouldn’t be.

The paragraphs which follow were taken from my book The Health Scandal which caused quite a storm when it was published in 1988. (The book has recently been republished and is now available via the bookshop on this website):

`With enormous pressures on them to make discoveries and produce startling results a growing number of researchers are 'cooking the books' and 'fiddling the figures'.

In my book Paper Doctors, published in 1976, I described two examples of doctors who had been found out. The first was Dr William Summerlin, who was hired by the Sloan Ketting Institute in New York at a salary of$40,000 a year to do work on the problems of transplanting skin and overcoming rejection problems. Summerlin seemed to have made a major breakthrough in this area but no other laboratory anywhere in the world was able to duplicate his excellent results. Then, under pressure, Summerlin admitted that he had cheated. He was supposed to have transplanted skin from black mice to white mice. In fact he had simply inked in the transplant sites with a black felt-tipped pen.

The second medical trickster was Dr J. P. Sedgwick, a GP working in London's West End. Dr Sedgwick was offered £10 per card to fill in a number of trial cards showing the effects of a new hypotensive drug on the blood pressure of some of his patients. Dr Sedgwick filled in 100 cards and accepted £1,000 from the company concerned, Bayer. (See also page 34.)

Bayer became concerned when the cards were returned for not only were they still clean and unmarked but the blood-pressure figures (which all seemed to have been filled in at the same time) were identical on several sets of cards. The drug company eventually reported the doctor to the General Medical Council and in July 1975 Dr Sedgwick had the dubious distinction of being the first medical practitioner to be struck off for such unprofessional behaviour.

Since those early days of deceit, dishonesty among researchers has become sadly and regrettably all too commonplace and the journals are these days constantly reporting more and more instances of over-zealous researchers falsifying or inventing results.

In 1980, for example, the world of medicine was devastated by a series of scandals involving such prestigious centres of excellence as Yale School of Medicine, Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard. At the Boston University Medical Center a three-year $1 million cancer research project was tainted by false data. At Cornell University Mark Spector seemed on the brink of winning a Nobel Prize for his work explaining how tumour-causing viruses could turn a cell cancerous. Then suddenly his spectacular career was in ruins. Findings that were originally described as fundamental breakthroughs were branded as fraudulent. Colleagues discovered that Spector had cunningly doctored isolated bits of cellular matter to look like things they were not.

In 1983 there was an even bigger scandal in America when Dr John Darsee who had worked as a researcher at Harvard was accused of falsifying data. Darsee had done research work on a project funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute designed to help assess the effectiveness of drugs to treat heart attacks. After the research project was discredited Harvard was asked to return the $122,371 it had received as funding.

In the autumn ofl986 Professor Michael Briggs, who had worked at an Australian University, admitted 'serious deceptions' in his research into changes in the fats in blood caused by oral contraceptives. Briggs published papers dealing with contraceptive pill side effects between 1976 and 1984 and claimed that his research work had been done at Deakin University. Two drug companies who had provided Briggs with financial backing were shocked when details of his fraudulent behaviour were revealed. Professor Briggs had, after all, been an expert adviser to the World Health Organization.

Then in November 1986 yet another fraudulent medical author was exposed. Robert Slutsky of the University of California at San Diego withdraw fifteen published papers. His action immediately put fifty-five other papers under a cloud. Towards the end of his stay at the University Slutsky had been producing new scientific papers at the rate of one every ten days.

Inevitably all this fraudulent research work leads to problems for other researchers. Once a fraudulent paper gets into the system it can be quoted hundreds of times by other researchers within months of its first publication. The Index Medicus, the most important listing of research papers, does not correct false information or list fraudu­ lent authors or fraudulent papers. There is, therefore, no way for an author to check on the validity of the papers he wants to use in his own research work. In October 1986 a quick survey of papers that were known to be fraudulent revealed a total of forty-three papers published in the last five years or so. If each one of those papers was quoted by only ten other authors, then that makes 430 papers of questionable quality hiding in the world's medical literature.

Medical research is not only costly and of questionable value.

Much of it, it seems, is downright misleading.

As a final footnote to this section it is also perhaps worth pointing out that in a recent analysis of research work published in his book The Clay Pedestal (published in the United States by Nadonna Publications) T. Preston pointed out that one survey of research work showed that almost seventy-five per cent of all the reports published contained invalid conclusions that had been based on the incorrect use of statistics.’
