A Neil Oliver Special
“So here’s the thing. Here’s the thing that haunts me. That won’t drop and won’t go away. Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you”.
So concludes Neil Oliver in his latest video for the GB News Channel, a link of which I’ll add to the end of this opening gambit in the latest volume of my watching of Twitter, and a video I heartily recommend you spend 10 minutes of your life watching. The “Just because you’re paranoid” quote is attributed to Joseph Heller from his book “Catch-22” but it’s the 9 minutes and 50 seconds that come before it that lifted my spirits yet still crushed my soul. I don’t enjoy the phrase of “someone speaking for me” as it’s a little lazy and we should always be seeking to add our own dash of individuality even to a speech or set of words we wholeheartedly agree with. Yet Neil speaks for me in his latest monologue video linked below. Whereas I would be fire and brimstone with anger, as I can often be found within the bowels of Twitter, here Neil eloquently wraps up the ills of a very ill world in ten calm, resolute, rational yet still pointedly angry minutes. Every separate yet interlocking “bit” of this monologue is verifiable fact. Opinion? Absolutely! But facts nonetheless. As you’ll see for yourself Neil tackles the virus, the overwhelming and fear inducing response to a virus that we all have a 99%+ chance of recovery from, that the Government of his homeland Scotland have changed the reporting style of the figures, and he calls out the locked step approach and incredibly draconian powers that now reside in the hands of the leaders of Australia, New Zealand, France and the UK amongst many others. He also calmly reasons that Canada is now bordering on a “Banana Republic” and Justin Trudeau’s response to the protesting truckers is anything but liberal and very much the act of a dictator.
Here’s my question, and a question seemingly teeming from so many on Twitter in the past 7 days: Where is the condemnation of Justin Trudeau’s actions from the UK Prime Minister or the leaders of the free world in the neighbouring USA? Or France? Germany? New Zealand? Australia?
Not only is there zero condemnation, damn it, there has not been even one word of mere general concern from these liberally democratised nations. Not even the merest hint of that politically charged cliché of a “moment of caution” has been uttered by any Western Leaders of a supposed free world. There is also next to zero coverage of the peaceful protest of the truckers in the legacy/dinosaur media.
And you have to ask yourself the simple question: Why?
Before I continue with this Twitter Watch special edition on Neil, I’ll briefly reiterate my loose rules for this particular article series. Firstly I don’t watch any terrestrial media or nor do I watch GB News. All media is consumed via The Matrix. I therefore have no affiliation to GB News or any other so called “News” stations. I am politically lefty liberal but of the old school and very definitely not of the strange lefty liberals of today who think it fine and dandy to censor people, destroy our inalienable rights as human beings and who relish the prospect of war like demented demons. It’s a One Party State anyway, and that party is a global one and one in which we are not invited. I don’t follow Neil on Twitter and only see his posts by way of retweets from others. I only follow back those who have the courtesy to follow me or accounts who’s content rings a pleasing bell. I don’t chase followers and nor do I follow any Z-A celebrities. Twitter and social media is a game and those with the biggest voices score the most goals, and whilst not strictly a Twitter rule, I’ll also add that until 12–18 months ago I was totally unaware of who Neil was/is. His voice has been softly spoken yet incredibly and poignantly loud for so many during the pandemic, and I’m thankful that I’ve found his words, kind nature and glowing humanity these past months. I’m also envious of his beautiful hairstyle and his greying shaggy beard, and a beard I couldn’t grow if you gave me a thousand years to try!
Neil commences his monologue with a prologue and ends with an epilogue which all centre on the theme of paranoia. He begins quickly with the ever more maddening story of pharmaceutical giant Johnson and Johnson (J&J) and the tens of thousands of lawsuits and legal actions they are trying to, or considering of, palm onto a subsidiary company that will be forced into bankruptcy due to the weight of the claims and thus negating the possible losses incurred by J&J. The lawsuits as reported by Reuters and covered extensively and separately by Russell Brand and Jimmy Dore on their own Youtube channels contend that J&J were aware that cancer causing agents were known to be in their baby powder products but they concealed this from the industry regulators. Neil editorialises at length and confirms there is much more to the horrific story than this, as the links below refer:

A Johnson & Johnson subsidiary proposed on Friday that it would submit to an independent examination of the corporate…www.reuters.com
From J&J, Neil segues into a broader scepticism of their industry friends and competitors and indeed the manufacturers of the various vaccines now in use, the efficacy, the lack of long term data or evidence or even that these companies have repeatedly tried to block the release of data to the general public. As you may be aware, the manufacturers have no liability whatsoever for these particular products yet Neil again returns to the central theme of paranoia. Why should we be paranoid when the release of any even short term data is legally challenged by the very manufacturers that carry no liability for any possible side effects or long term damage linked to their product? Why indeed. He then segues further but still with the paranoiac theme of “tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists” and why should we paranoid when his own homeland Government of Scotland has changed the way they release data so as not to encourage those pesky conspiracy theorists! 417 out of 478 deaths registered of or with the virus in Scotland in a recent 4 week period were recorded as being fully vaccinated. 87%. But to question this point is to be branded with the dreaded “Anti-Vax”.
Paranoid anyone?

The tone if not the theme, changes at midpoint and stays until the end as Neil laments at what is becoming of Canada under their “wax work dummy left too close to a radiator” Prime Minster, in the guise of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. His editorial here is a must listen and also covered in so many ways from the tweets he’s either penned himself or those of others he’s retweeted as pictured above. So here’s my editorial of the current position in Canada:
I see the peaceful protests from those Canadian truckers as a virtual “last stand” against the complete dismantling of our way of life. Make of that what you will. If Justin Trudeau is a “Liberal” leader and protector of those beliefs then I am the ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald. Calling blue collar workers (who should be your core tenet of the liberal and all encompassing society you supposedly triumph) “misogynists”, “racists” and who whilst holding Swastika emblazoned flags hold “unacceptable views”, does not come from a particularly liberal mindset. Quite the opposite in fact, and this should be roundly and loudly condemned as totalitarian and the actions of a dictator.
Frozen bank accounts for frozen truckers? How very liberal.
Footage of the police horses trampling protesters are coupled with the arrests of the supposed “ring leaders”. Blimey! These truckers sure do sound intimidating. Obviously when not singing “We are The World” and dancing around arm in arm with bouncy castles in the background and ad hoc vendors supplying free food as well as a free supply of humanity. What a bunch of bastards eh?
Paranoid and especially “conspiracy theorist” have long been weapons of the thickest mud to be slung in the direction of anyone holding those “unacceptable views” that Justin Trudeau accuses his core voting block of having and holding. All manner of secretive club names have been mooted, uprooted, exposed and shown publicly for what they truly are, but today the secret is on public show for all the world to see. But the world at large dare not see, you see. Because if they did, the public at large I mean, it would splinter their world view into smithereens. Added to by a compliant and paid for media who scoff at such suggestions and sling the mud of conspiracy, and it’s back to the real life of just trying to have a damned peaceful life, and not connect the simplest of dots to the largest conspiracy of all. And it’s all here, right in the open, no secretive club required thank you! On the daily news, podcasts, social media channels, memes, pictures, agendas, videos, prospectuses and proclamations. Oh how this forum of the good and the great like their proclamations!
“I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better”.
Doesn’t that statement just make your heart leap with utter joy? What humanity eh? The statement just wraps you up in a tiny bundle of wool and makes you feel so warm and wanted doesn’t it? Thus is the “World Economic Forum” and whereas in those pesky conspiracy books of yore the ties and links and dotted lines to so many of the world leaders of yesterday led to secretive clubs and all manner of other underground establishments, here today it takes zero effort at all to see why Justin Trudeau is acting the way he is at the time of writing and for the period of the pandemic before it. The same can be said for the ghostly wraith in an ill fitting suit here in the UK. After the fortnight of flattening a curve we have “Quarantine Camps” in Australia and a lock stepped fear campaign driven worldwide to see that medication is the only way out of the pandemic. The countries listed earlier of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany and the USA all share the verbose nature of their public utterances on democracy, civil liberties, justice and human rights, so where is their loud pronouncements of their dismay at what is happening in Canada right now? They must be aghast surely? Police horses. Arresting elderly and still peaceful protesters. Freezing bank accounts.
Lest we forget the odious names these truckers have been called.
So where is the outrage?
We return, as we often should, to the George Carlin quote of there being a “big club” and that we ain’t in it. And we’re never going to be in that club, a club that contains Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson, Vladimir Putin, Emmanuel Macron, Jacinda Ardern, Joe Biden and many others. The many are silent on the situation in Canada. As are our heroic democracy fighting leaders of the UK, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Germany and France. You could almost say with certainty that there’s a pact of omerta here, and if you did you’d be rounded upon as a conspiracy theorist such is the upside down nature of our world! And don’t you dare link a media personality, a celebrity, a captain of industry or umpteen billionaires to this exclusive club! To say they all repeat a seemingly mind controlled mantra in lock step and at exactly the same time, over and over again, would of course have you placed onto the unperson list and censored as a heretic.
Links. Chains. Bonds. Actions. Trysts. Ideologies.
Still wonder why we haven’t heard a peep of outrage from our esteemed Leaders of the Free World of doom?
But to even utter that question would cast you in the mould of a conspiracy theorist, or paranoid, or maybe you’re holding those “unacceptable views” again. And we can’t have that, can we? I’ve been a paranoid android for over three decades now and that’s because they are out to get us. This isn’t anything new. Everything is a copy of a copy and everything has been everything since time immemorial. The World Economic Forum now is just the very public display of a big club that publicly demonstrates how they’ll build back better a better world. We’re seeing it in action, in real time, and not in some dusty conspiracy books from decades past. Well, we are, actually, but that’s to miss the point. Canada is currently a very public face to a once private club, a big club, and a club fully in the glare of all the lights and fireworks of The Matrix.
That’s why the Canadian truckers peaceful protest (lead up to, the protests themselves and the aftermath playing out in front of our eyes right now) is a “last stand”. Invoking emergency powers against your own populace and the very lifeblood of your country, let alone the horrific scenes of horses and Robocop clad riot police? There are planned convoys for Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the UK. What’s to stop the leaders of those countries, those “young leaders” of a big club we’re not invited to, from doing the exact same thing?
And that’s not a paranoid thought or a view of a draconian future that’s anti human and anti democratic. And it’s certainly not a conspiracy theory either. It should be playing out on your telescreen every day (Ukraine anyone?), but it isn’t. Or it won’t be until there’s violence or a slanted set of stories against the truckers because the few owners of the dinosaur media are all in the same club so eloquently described by George Carlin.
Can you imagine Neil delivering that monologue on the BBC, or CNN or MSNBC, or the premier channels of New Zealand, Australia, Germany or France? It’s a rhetorical question, obviously.
But you’d be termed as “paranoid” if you asked that very question.
Selah.
