Hosting Upgrade Appeal

Dear Visitor. The Tap has become increasingly busy over the last few weeks with many more visitors and sign ups. It's currently creaking and slowing. We need a hosting account upgrade to help cope with the increased activity and keep this free blog online. In this age of great change The Tap is a valuable independent resource where we can come together and share information the controlling parasites would rather we didn't have. It would be sad to lose it but it costs to keep it going and free to use. If any of you can help donate even a small amount towards the hosting upgrade that would be a big help. Your small donation makes a huge difference. Thank you in advance. Click here to donate


How we were played – a brief recap of the war on democracy where nothing adds up

LAUNCH THE FAKE SCIENTISTS!

Intro by Fabian Ubiquitus

The criminal clique that has hijacked the British government and used its position to wreak havoc upon the nation is fast being found out as lie after lie after lie is exposed.

And as a consequence it is fast running out of friends because these crooks are not people anyone wants to be too close to when the you-know-what hits the fan.

Even  amongst traditional conservative groups such as that of  The Conservative Woman website the criticism of the most dishonest wrecking crew in British history the exposés of its malfeasance are both relentless and scathing as you’ll see from the sample article below.

Of course, true conservatives see though the febrile fake conservatism of Johnson and his so-called Gang of Loons, who are about as truly Conservative as Pol Pot. The gang choose after all to be closely advised in matters of mass manipulation and “behavioural change” by such experts as  Professor Susan Michie a leading British Communist Party member.

As as for the notorious Ferguson, we said from the beginning that his track record of wildly inaccurate yet scary predictions should make him the last “expert” you’d want to trot out in before an aghast nation. The inaccuracy of his work was, after all, well known before the Gang of Loons made use of him.

His value to their psyop and its attendant coup was clearly not the accuracy of his predictions. It was how scary they were and how “sciency” they looked so as to bamboozle and scare into compliance what was assumed to be a somewhat timid nation.

The following article is a scathing and damning exposé that hammers yet another very large nail into the government’s coffin. It was published in May 2020 as the patriots of CTW did their best to warn the nation that serious skullduggery was afoot and it is a crying shame that more people did not see or heed it.

Members of our feckless or bought Parliament, for example, or the MSM, all of whom contributed to war against our nation by choosing to ignore facts that were right there in front of their nose.

We are featuring it here now in the hope that the message will finally sink in.

Millions of us are now looking forward to the trials where the Gang of Loons, their puppet masters, cronies and collaborators and the whole sorry crew of enemies of the nation are brought to trial and answer for their crimes.

The source for the following article is here. We highly recommend TCW as an island of sanity in a sea of maliciously manufactured hysteria. Their critiques of Johnson and his crew of lunatics are always worth a read as you will discover.

 

The strange bedfellows of Professor Panic

A LOT of attention has been given to Professor Neil Ferguson’s dubious track record on epidemics and his equally dubious judgment in meeting his lover on at least two occasions during the lockdown introduced on his own advice.

On closer examination, there are two especially significant elements crying out for independent investigation: the quality and reliability of Ferguson’s computer model, and the political affiliations of his lover.

Firstly, the computer model. The source code behind the Ferguson model has finally been made available to the public via the GitHub website. Mark E Jeftovic, in his Axis of Easy website, says: ‘A code review has been undertaken by an anonymous ex-Google software engineer here, who tells us the GitHub repository code has been heavily massaged by Microsoft engineers, and others, in an effort to whip the code into shape to safely expose it to the public. Alas, they seem to have failed and numerous flaws and bugs from the original software persist in the released version. Requests for the unedited version of the original code behind the model have gone unanswered.’

Jeftovic believes the most worrisome outcome of the model review is that the code produces ‘non-deterministic outputs’. This means that owing to bugs, the code can produce very different results given identical inputs, making the code unsuitable for scientific purposes. Jeftovic says the documentation provided wants the reader to accept that given a ‘starting seed’, the model will always produce the same results. ‘Investigation reveals the truth: the code produces critically different results, even for identical starting seeds and parameters.’

He says that a team even found that the output varied depending on which type of computer it was run on.

Jeftovic cannot understand why the Imperial team failed to realise that their software was so flawed. He quotes the usual computing adage ‘Garbage In/Garbage Out’ which the untrained reader may think is what is being asserted in the code review. In fact, he says, ‘it’s not. What’s being asserted is that output is garbage, regardless of the input. In this case, the output we’re experiencing as a result is a worldwide lockdown and shutdown of the global economy, and we don’t really know if this was necessary or not, because we have no actual data (aside from Sweden) and severely flawed models.’

Another expert, Martin Armstrong (who has a controversial record) also reviews the Ferguson model code and comes to very similar conclusions. He says that it

‘is such a joke it is either an outright fraud, or it is the most inept piece of programming  I have ever seen in my life . . . This is the most unprofessional operation perhaps in computer science. The entire team should be disbanded and an independent team put in place to review the work of Neil Ferguson . . . The only reasonable conclusion I can reach is that this has been deliberately used to justify bogus forecasts intent for political activism . . . There seems to have been no independent review of Ferguson’s work, which is unimaginable!’

Which leads us neatly to the second facet of the affair – the actual ‘affair’ and the politically radical lover.

Professor Ferguson, 51, is said to be estranged from his wife Kim, with whom he has a 17-year-old son.

He is reported to have used the match-finding website OkCupid a year ago to meet Antonia Staats, 38, currently married and living with her husband and two children. Ms Staats is a Left-wing campaigner who works for the US-based online network Avaaz, an organisation that promotes global activism on, among other things, climate change. The Guardian has called Avaaz the globe’s largest and most powerful online activist network, and it has a world-wide following of around 10million people. It is loosely connected with Bill Gates, through the World Economic Forum, which also lists Al Gore and Christine Lagarde on its board. Staats works as a senior campaigner on climate change for the group, and is said to be sympathetic towards the aims of Extinction Rebellion. Indirectly, on the surface at least, this ties Ferguson to climate change, a cause that the lockdown has served very well by managing to shut down the world economy.

Surely it is now time for some genuinely tech-savvy analysis to be carried out on the source coding underlying the doom-laden, and for many of us deeply disturbing, predictions about the forthcoming climate catastrophe? Might it turn out to be just as questionable?
