PETER HITCHENS: How the Government is wading into
the swamp of despotism – one muzzle at a time

The Government has no legal right to impose the
severe and miserable restrictions on our lives
with which it has wrecked the economy, brought
needless grief to the bereaved and the lonely and
destroyed our personal liberty.
This is the verdict of one of the most
distinguished lawyers in the country, the retired
Supreme Court Judge Lord Sumption.
He said last week in a podcast interview:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/09/10/planet-normal-use-fear-has-brought-greatest-invasion-personal/
‘I don’t myself believe that the Act confers on
the Government the powers that it has purported to exercise.’
He was referring to the Public Health Act of
1984, the basis for almost all the sheaves of
increasingly hysterical decrees against normal
life which the Health Secretary Matt Hancock has
issued since March. I promise you that it is not
usual for a retired senior judge to use such language in public.
This 1984 Act was drawn up mainly to give local
magistrates the power to quarantine the sick.
Nothing in it remotely justifies these
astonishing moves – house arrest, travel
restrictions, harsh limits on visiting family
members, interference with funerals and weddings,
closure of churches, compulsory muzzles, bans on assembly and protest.
English law just does not allow an Act of
Parliament to be stretched so far. Magistrates
are never given such powers. It is a principle of
our law that fundamental freedoms cannot be
invaded or overruled unless the law specifically allows it.
As he is one of the most distinguished legal
minds of our time, Jonathan Sumption’s opinions
on this matter are surely important. Let us hope
that the Courts of England, which have so far
been content to let the Government do what it
likes, will listen to what he says when they look
at the matter again later this month, in the case
brought by Simon Dolan, a businessman who is
seeking a judicial review of the Government’s policy on Covid-19.
It is extraordinary for such a person as Lord
Sumption to go public in this fashion. And he
went on to say another astonishing thing. He
pointed out that powers do exist – in the shape
of the formidable Civil Contingencies Act – under
which the Prime Minister could do all the things
he has done. But the CCA requires regular parliamentary scrutiny and renewal.
The Government’s team of lawyers must know this.
So why wasn’t the CCA used? We can only guess
that the Prime Minister and his Health Secretary
feared that if they had to keep coming back to
Parliament, even the dim, slumbering and gullible
MPs we have nowadays would eventually have
spotted, and halted, the immense power grab now under way.
Lord Sumption’s intervention is, of course, so
huge and important that the media of this country
have somehow not noticed it. So, as has been the
case from the start, you have to get it from me.
But believe me, it is an indication of just how
deep into the swamp of despotism this Government has already waded.
Let us escape soon, before we are so far in we can never get out again.
Bare-faced state bullies
The most terrible warning of what lies ahead of
us – if we cannot smash the Government’s lies –
is in Melbourne, Australia, where a vain little
despot called Daniel Andrews has locked his
subjects in their homes, banned demonstrations
against this policy, and unleashed heavy-handed
police against protesters and dissenters.
At this rate, Melbourne will soon be twinned with
Minsk, capital of Belarus. The treatment of
protesters on the streets of both cities is
remarkably similar. I was most struck by what
happened to a young woman demonstrator at the
hands of Melbourne police, after they had grabbed
and restrained her, so that she was powerless.
An officer actually put a covering over her
mouth. It was not the only such incident that day
and it explains, to those who object, why I call these things muzzles.
They are there to humiliate, to cancel
individuality and to indicate assent – forced or
otherwise – to the crazy policy of trying to
treat a virus with naked state power.
If US police forced handcuffed Left-wing
protesters to wear Trumpoid ‘Make America Great
Again’ baseball caps it would be about the same.
Now hiking’s a crime, but dope is fine
One of my rules is that the more political the
police become, the more useless they are against
actual crime. Here is a good example. Police who
have over the past few months pursued sunbathers,
hikers, people going into their own front gardens
or showing their naked faces on trains, now plan
a new extra-soft line on marijuana.
Even though this terrible drug is increasingly
linked with lifelong mental illness and violence,
liberal police chiefs are still lost in a
Sixties-style haze of dope, believing dubious claims that it is a medicine.
Legalisers have long privately admitted these
claims are a red herring to give pot a good name.
How can something which makes many of its users mentally ill be a medicine?
But lo, police chiefs are backing a new ‘cannabis
card’ that will provide de-facto
decriminalisation of the drug for millions of
people with health conditions. Officers, who have
already almost given up arresting people for
possession, say it will give them a new excuse for failing to enforce the law.
Too busy on granny patrol, making sure children
can’t see their grandmothers, I expect.
Schoolboy Johnson’s lies keep getting bigger
Imagine a naughty schoolboy afraid to admit what
started as a minor misdeed. Such a schoolboy,
having broken the headmaster’s window with his
catapult, and trying to evade punishment, might
invent a story about a gang of yobs bursting into the school grounds.
So the police are called and he deepens the
falsehood. The longer it goes on, the more
embarrassing it will be to confess. Innocent
people are rounded up, arrested and charged on the basis of his claims.
He gives false evidence against them. They lose
their freedom, perhaps have their lives ruined.
The lie is now even worse. He must either confess
or elaborate the false story of the gang, for
ever. And the worse it gets, the harder it is to
own up. So he lies and keeps lying.
So it is with our Prime Minister. He panicked in
March, on the basis of poor advice. He did
immense damage and knows it. But rather than
admit he hugely overestimated the danger of
Covid, he continues to insist it is a deadly
plague and that it will be back soon in a
terrible second wave. The official Covid death
and hospitalisation figures, declining ever since
April 8, are now bumping along the bottom of the graph, close to zero.
Hence the false epidemic of so-called Covid
‘cases’, which the Government is trying to
pretend exists. How simple-minded do you need to
be not to see the great flaw in this?
On Monday, the media reported new coronavirus
cases in the UK had risen to 2,988 on Sunday, the
highest daily total since May. Panic! Or perhaps not.
I searched the Government’s own spreadsheets and
what did I find? More than 1.1 million tests each
week but fewer than 10,000 positive results.
Judging by the state of the hospitals and the
death rates, I think we may assume most were just
fine, as most who catch this disease are. So, for
this, we propose to stop people gathering in
groups of more than six? I sense even those who
have, up till now, put up with this rubbish are beginning to tire of it.
Good, for until you do and demand truthful
explanations of why your children’s education has
been ruined, why legions of people will lose
their jobs, why daily life is an intensifying
misery of jobsworths and bureaucracy, and why
hundreds of businesses built up with years of
sweat and risk are now dying, you will just get more lies.

"And I think, in the end, that is the best
definition of journalism I have heard; to
challenge authority - all authority - especially
so when governments and politicians take us to
war, when they have decided that they will kill and others will die. "
--Robert Fisk
'From South America, where payment must be made
with subtlety, the Bormann organization has made
a substantial contribution. It has drawn many of
the brightest Jewish businessmen into a
participatory role in the development of many of
its corporations, and many of these Jews share
their prosperity most generously with Israel. If
their proposals are sound, they are even provided
with a specially dispensed venture capital fund.
I spoke with one Jewish businessmen in Hartford,
Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown
several years before our conversation, but with
Bormann money as his leverage. Today he is more
than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the
community with a certain share of his profits
earmarked as always for his venture capital
benefactors. This has taken place in many other
instances across America and demonstrates how
Bormann’s people operate in the contemporary
commercial world, in contrast to the fanciful
nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much “literature.”
So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish
participation in Bormann companies that when
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires.
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen
again because a repetition would permanently
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin
America, as well as with the Bormann
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most
efficient German infrastructure in history as
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'

Please consider why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultist 'people farmers' running the Western World using Moses and Jesus as cover.
Power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought.
Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
