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


New variant hysteria comes from same institution that popularized lockdowns & previous COVID scares

Imperial College yet again panics the masses.

What a small world we live in. The “Nu variant” scare you keep hearing about is coming from the same people and institutions that spawned the last COVID scare, and the one before that, and the one before that one, dating back all the way to the onset of COVID Mania.

[Update: the World Health Organization has now labeled this strain the “Omicron variant,” in noticeably skipping over “Xi” in the greek alphabet]

The corporate press and world governments have produced an incredible amount of noise about a claimed new COVID variant, the “Nu” variant, which has been detected in South Africa and Botswana.

Just as with previous ruling class-fomented bouts of Hysteria-19, there is no statistical cause for alarm over this new strain, which is one of over 100,000 mutations of the coronavirus.

The “new strain” has hardly produced any lab confirmed cases, but a panicked narrative has already been seeded in the public. The U.K. in particular has driven the fear to new levels. The country has already added several African nations to its travel ban list, citing the new strain.

OK, it looks like we may have a Nu Variant of Concern on our hands … 😕

Similar to every other government-prescribed policy to fight a war on a virus, travel bans do not actually work to stop a virus, but they do successfully agitate the markets and masses into bouts of madness.

The Dossier
Just Say No To COVID Travel Bans
We’ve seen this movie before, and it ended with the largest power grab in world history. “It’s just a travel ban.” “It’s just two weeks to stop the spread.” “It’s just for non-essential workers.” “Just wear a mask. It will allow for society to reopen…

And it is not a coincidence that the U.K. is again the first mover on the “Nu strain” front.

The new variant hysteria originated at Imperial College UK, the home of a disgraced, corrupted academic modeling institution that proselytized lockdowns to the Western world. Throughout COVID Mania, Imperial has been the source of countless versions of “new strain” propaganda. The institution does not only participate in shoddy modeling. It both foments the insanity and demands a series of totalitarian measures to deal with their faulty narrative creations.

The new variant scare campaign originated earlier this week with a Twitter thread from Tom Peacock, a postdoc in his early 30s who is employed at Imperial College London. He set the gears in motion through his alarmist interpretation of the variant, describing the new strain as having a “really awful Spike mutation profile.”

The corporate media, world governments, and other institutions have regurgitated Peacock’s pandemic proclamations, setting off a new series of authoritarian demands from the ruling class.

The current new strain panic comes at a time in Europe when COVID-19 cases are surging in the continent, despite the universal embrace of mRNA injections that were promised to resolve the COVID-19 problem.

This “new strain” has reportedly been found in Europe, driving the media’s narrative even further into the totalitarian abyss.

With claims disseminated to the masses by Big Tech and world governments, the Gates Inc and China-influenced World Health Organization is sowing maximum panic and terror.

Outside of the Chinese Communist Party, no other institution has been as influential in driving destructive COVID-19 policies than Imperial College London.

Imperial College UK is the home of the infamous “doomsday models” for COVID-19, which promised that millions of people would imminently be wiped off the earth if the Western world did not lock down in March of 2020 for COVID-19. The idea that the world needed to “flatten the curve” through pseudoscientific lockdowns was spawned by a faulty academic model from Neil Ferguson, an epidemiologist at Imperial College. When pressed to open source his models, Ferguson outright refused. He later resigned in disgrace from the U.K. government scientific advisory board. Yet “Professor Lockdown” somehow remains a very influential figure in driving Britain’s totalitarian pandemic response policies.

On the topic of new strains, it seems everything old is new again. Imperial was the primary source of the new variant scare models of 2020. It was around this time last year when U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, citing Imperial speculation on a different strain, initiated a Winter lockdown.

Read my piece in the Dossier about that “new strain” of 2020 and you will see the incredible parallels. The South Africa/Botswana “Nu strain” propaganda relies on the same fear campaign, but a rebranded version. It’s the exact same playbook.

Last year, it commenced with Erik Volz, an epidemiologist at Imperial College London, who claimed the new strain was 70% more transmissible. His exact language was later repeated by PM Johnson in justifying his lockdown.

The Dossier
The ‘new strain’ of COVID propaganda
Politicians and “public health experts” around the world are using faulty models on a new variant of the novel coronavirus in order to cover for their failures in stopping its spread, while simultaneously leveraging the issue to demand renewed lockdowns and other punishing restrictions. Not much is known about the so-called “new strain” of the virus, bu…

Before Nu, the latest scariant, best known as the “Delta variant,” had a similar viral marketing campaign behind its emergence.

The Dossier
Fauci and the Biden Admin are purposely deceiving us about the ‘Delta variant’ threat
Prominent actors within the U.S. government have been lying to the American people about COVID-19 for 18 months and counting, and their latest behavior shows that the individuals in charge of U.S. Government Science have no intention of stopping the charade anytime soon. Over time, their lies have evolved to become so common and so reckless to the point…

Notably, Imperial’s virology and epidemiology departments have received incredible amounts of funding from the Gates Foundation, the world’s most influential driver of global “public health” policy. According to a review of their public records, Gates Inc has delivered close to $300 million dollars to the Imperial College London.

    It really is quite unbelievable that sheeple subscribe to this nonsense. Are they better off dead?
    My God/Nature-given Immune System is always looking for something to do and deal with as it’s not getting paid by the hour and just loves having something useful to do in life.
    Lying in bed all day and losing touch with the world of work – figuratively speaking – is not what the Immune System wants to do. It relishes a challenge. Covid-19 (aka Flu?) isn’t much of a challenge it has to be said. A walk in the park killing it off.
    Kill-shots on the other hand…

  2. Aldous says:

    “Omicron variant”
    OMICRON = MORONIC.
    It’s not rocket science. TPTB are taking the piss out of the stupid goyim.

    Is growing old a kind of curse? I still see young comrades getting blown to bits yet I’m still here. Why? I never asked to be born or live this long.
    Someone is ultimately responsible and has to pay.
    I don’t need money and would gladly give any compensation away, money being the root of all evil. I treat and help others out whenever I can and feel better for it..
    Life really is a bitch but has been remarkedly good to me.
    I can’t think why because I can be a right bastard when provoked and have upset a lot of otherwise decent folks in my time. Maybe they deserved it, I don’t honestly know.
    I have a bad rep as someone to be wary of for speaking the inconvenient Truth. I take that as a Badge of Honor.

    As the “vaccines”, are not effective at preventing you from dying from Covid, but they want people to keep taking them, they need a plausible reason to explain why they don’t work but are still needed. Variants is their answer. You are protected from A and B and C but not D unless you get another booster. D is a killer and it’s learned how to get past the other jabs, so hurry hurry get your B booster.

    • ian says:

      Or D booster even.

    • pete fairhurst says:

      That’s what I thought too Ian

      Plus they may need an excuse if the vaxx deaths start to ramp up a lot more, it was Omicron! [Or, as Aldous pointed out yesterday, Moronic]

      I looked at the latest ONS stats yesterday [not that I trust them anymore]
      Data for 4 Sept to 12 Nov as follows:
      Total deaths 110k
      Covid deaths 8k
      Excess deaths 14k
      [over 5 year average 2015 to ’19]
      Excess less covid 6k

      This last caused by what:
      NHS delays in treatment?
      Covid “safety” measures?
      Covid vaxx?
      I can’t think of anything else, can you?
      So all this excess caused by government actions?

      In normal times that would be enough for the government to fall

      • ian says:

        True pete. It is difficult to get the true awake figures too, some still trust the system yet smell a rat with the Covid. In my small circles of acquaintances, they are all pretty much still fully on board with the official version of events. Many would likely be happy to see those not vaxxed jailed, or worse. It might be interesting to see how they cope with another winter of fear and restrictions. Will the unvaxxed be tolerated. Interesting times indeed.

    Of course, it is more of the same EVIDENT deadly Covid ploy of the ruling psychopaths that most people STILL fall for….

    “If you’ve ever wondered whether you would have complied during 1930s Germany, now you know.” — Banner of a Covid-19 protester

    The saying goes “SEEK the truth and you shall find it” –and NOT that you find the truth by passively ACCEPTING what authorities tell you is the “truth” like herd animals unthinkingly obey their shepherds’ orders. Yet almost nobody ACTIVELY SEEKS the truth, they only PASSIVELY ACCEPT as “truth” what the authorities tell them and so become UNthinking members of “herd stupidity.”

    Do YOU actually SEEK the truth or are you a mindless member of “herd stupidity”?

    I suggest you carefully check out “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” at https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

    You can ONLY see the official lies IF you SEEK the truth…. it means you must LOOK “behind the curtain” — behind the official narratives.
