No, it’s not world poverty, the threat of nuclear war, population control, lies told to us by government and media…. I could go on. This doesn’t seem to get many peoples’ goats strangely. No, what does rile people to the point of murderousness is anybody who dares to question the wisdom of vaccination.

Somebody wrote on Google + today that any parent who refuses to vaccinate their child should be incarcerated and the child taken from them by the state and placed in the care of a loving family. A tad extreme? Perhaps but what causes such vitriol? Why does my decision not to vaccinate my kids do you any harm. We could talk about herd immunity and this is an argument that holds some water until you realise the utter ineffectiveness of vaccines anyway.

So why do people act with such outrage when parents choose to exercise their rights as individuals. The mere mention of the lovely Dr Andrew Wakefield sends people into apoplectic rage. For those of you who doubt this man and more, accept the demonising propaganda spread against him by the media, all I beg of you is that you listen to the man for 5 minutes and then stick him on the scales balanced by Rupert Murdoch, Merck and the WHO. See you whose souls you trust then:

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

Is it me or are examples of such DoubleSpeak cropping up more and more? Not just in the news, might I add but also amongst ordinary people you meet. People who say something so entirely at odds with their actions, it leaves you scratching your head, wondering if you have gone mad. Is it a sign of our times, a brutalisation of society?

Bill Gates Confusing Himself

Of course we have plenty of idols whose behaviour we can emulate. Our governments are Olympic champions of DoubleSpeak and our media has no qualms about repeating all the hypocrisy and rubbish that spokesmen and women trot out on a daily basis.

Examples:
The discovery of WMD in Iraq leading to an invasion of that country to establish peace and democracy. Well, the invasion was illegal, unwanted and jingoistic resulting in the deaths of millions, no peace and no democracy.

Global banksters gambling hubristically with our hard-won cash, exploiting the poor and weak, repossessing their homes, creating a world-wide depression and then being bailed out by us tax payers and rewarded with huge cash bonuses to boot.

The capture and mutilation of Osama Bin Laden and then dumping him in the sea ‘in accordance with Islamic tradition’ – out of respect so they would never have to show the proof of this fairy tale.

Britain’s failed assassination attempt on Gaddafi 20 years ago followed by our own Tony Blair toadying up to Libya’s premier, pulling off some dodgy oil deals and then when we had what we wanted, taking him out because he knew too much.

Bill Gates talking at the Ted Conference on the need to reduce population and saying that even with the most effective vaccination programme, we could only achieve a 15% reduction thereby openly admitting vaccinations reduce fertility and kill people.

I mean I could go on… The news throws up examples of such rubbish daily and it’s clever. Because what do we do when we are confused? Does uncertainty galvanise us? Or does it leave us scratching our heads wondering it it is we who are the stupid ones.

One undeniable fact remains. The lies are getting bigger. They are getting more outrageous. The liars are getting more arrogant. And so millions of people are cottoning on to what is going on. A tipping point is coming when people will refuse to take the crap any longer. And that tipping point is not that far away.

I am on a quest to find a newspaper or publication that neatly dovetails with my Weltanschauung. I know that this is narrow-minded and that we should all constantly be reading stuff that challenges our pre-conceived notions and makes us view the world afresh. But frankly, when you are forever faced with diatribe not only challenges your beliefs but makes a mockery of them and forces the diurnal self-analysis as to whether you are going mad or not, isn’t it time to seek succour in some cleverly written articles wherein you can recognise the world as you see it and not the fantasyland we are led to believe exists outside our front door.

To this end, I have even gone as far as purchasing the Daily Telegraph! My husband, Mark Attwood, featured in this venerable rag a while back so I figured it must be half decent. Indeed there is much sensible writing in it but unfortunately the rigid adherence to anthropomorphic climate change really put me off so I think I’ll try the Socialist Worker this weekend.
