The British Miracle of 2024 is largely unreported and little understood.

This very British Miracle materialised in Week 29 i.e. Saturday 13th July to Friday 19th July 2024.
Some might say it was a Week of Miracles.
On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump, a former president of the United States and then the
presumptive nominee of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election, survived an
assassination attempt while speaking at an open-air campaign rally near Butler,
Pennsylvania.
Trump was shot and wounded in his upper right ear by Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-yearold man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, who fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle
from the roof of a nearby building.
Crooks also killed one audience member and critically injured two others. He was shot and
killed seconds later by the United States Secret Service’s Counter Sniper Team.

This very British Miracle was preceded by an equally dramatic [and equally unexplained] rise in
Excess Deaths during the summer months when deaths are usually at their lowest ebb.
The 2024 Washington summit was the 33rd summit of the heads of state and government
of the thirty-two members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), their
partner countries and the European Union (EU), which took place in Washington, D.C.,
United States, on 9-11 July 2024.
…
NATO officially highlights support for Ukraine is unwavering, with the alliance determined
to stand by Ukraine indefinitely.

And
This very British Miracle is still working it’s mysterious magic.
If you’re inclined towards glass half full explanations
Then it’s possible the British National Health Service suddenly rediscovered: First, Do No Harm.
Primum non nocere is a Latin phrase that means “first, do no harm”.
…
Non-maleficence, which is derived from the maxim, is one of the principal precepts of
bioethics that all students in healthcare are taught in school and is a fundamental principle
throughout the world.
…
Some early versions of the Hippocratic Oath include the promise “to abstain from doing
harm” but do not include the precise phrase.

If you’re more inclined towards glass half empty explanations
Then there are two prominent possibilities:
► Perhaps the newly elected Labour government obediently deployed New Mathematicians
to accelerate the Deep State’s desperate dash towards it’s divine Brave New World destiny.
United Kingdom general election was held on Thursday, 4 July 2024, to elect 650 members
of Parliament to the House of Commons, the lower house of the Parliament of the United
Kingdom.
The opposition Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, defeated the governing Conservative
Party, led by Rishi Sunak, in a landslide victory.

New Labour is the political philosophy that dominated the history of the British Labour
Party from the mid-late 1990s to 2010 under the leadership of Tony Blair and Gordon
Brown.
The term originated in a conference slogan first used by the party in 1994, later seen in a
draft manifesto which was published in 1996 and titled New Labour, New Life for Britain.
…
Jeremy Corbyn moved the party further to the left, while Keir Starmer has repositioned it
back to the centre and won the 2024 general election; Starmer’s leadership of the party has
been widely compared to that of Blair, and he is regarded as having taken the party back to
the centre-ground, in a similar way to that achieved by New Labour.

New Mathematics or New Math was a dramatic but temporary change in the way
mathematics was taught … “new math” was often used to describe any short-lived fad that
quickly becomes discredited.

Long story short, the UK learned its lesson and the last thing it would ever do again is get
perilously close to admitting the truth, which is that it is exclusively reliant on the debt
market to fund its marginal deficit spending.
Which, however, would mean two things:
i) it would somehow have to convince the market it has much more debt capacity
than it currently does, i.e. changing the definition of debt, and
ii) it would need to actually do the right thing (something it has to do since unlike the
US it doesn’t have a reserve currency to punch around) and either boost taxes or cut
back spending.
That’s precisely what is about to happen.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, the UK’s equivalent to the Treasury Secretary,
has embraced a fiscal overhaul that could allow the UK to borrow as much as £70 billion
($91 billion) more over the next five years by changing the very definition of debt, as the
government defended a budget that looks increasingly likely to tax investors.

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931
and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, whose citizens are
environmentally engineered into an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates
huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological
manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society …

► Perhaps casualty reporting restrictions were imposed in the run up to the Kursk calamity.
On 6 August 2024, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine as part of the Russo-Ukrainian
War, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an incursion into Russia’s Kursk Oblast and
clashed with the Russian Armed Forces and Russian border guard.

There is a third far less prominent possibility.
► Perhaps additional delays in the Death Registration procedures were introduced.
Best practices are used to achieve quality as an alternative to mandatory standards.
Best practices can be based on self-assessment or benchmarking.
Best practice is a feature of accredited management standards such as ISO 9000 and 14001.
Some consulting firms specialize in the area of best practice and offer ready-made templates
to standardize business process documentation.
Sometimes a best practice is not applicable or is inappropriate for a particular
organization’s needs.
A key strategic talent required when applying best practice to organizations is the ability to
balance the unique qualities of an organization with the practices that it has in common with
others. Good operating practice is a strategic management term.

Work-to-rule … is a job action in which employees do no more than the minimum
required by the rules of their contract or job, and strictly follow time-consuming rules
normally not enforced.
This may cause a slowdown or decrease in productivity if the employer does not hire
enough employees or pay the appropriate salary and consequently does not have the
requirements needed to run normally.

Regardless of rationale this very British Miracle is a man made mirage that involves:
► Reporting delays [aka under reporting],
Note: The backlog may discretely disappear during the prepared peak winter deaths season.

In England and Wales, a new statutory Medical Examiner system based in NHS Acute
Trusts commenced in 2019 and is expected to be fully operational several years later.
A medical examiner is always a medical doctor, whereas a coroner is a judicial officer.
Wikipedia – Medical Examiner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_examiner#United_Kingdom
Since 9 September 2024, all deaths in any health setting that are not investigated by a
coroner will be reviewed by NHS medical examiners. The changes form part of the
Department of Health and Social Care’s Death Certification Reforms.
The Death Certification Reforms introduced a new medical certificate of cause of death
(MCCD). Medical practitioners are now able to complete an MCCD if they attended the
deceased in their lifetime.
This represents a simplification of previous rules when cases had to be referred to a coroner
if the medical practitioner had not seen the patient within the 28 days prior to death or had
not seen in person the patient after death.

Any understanding of the genocidal nature of the 20th century is incomplete unless the life,
times, and social thinking of H G Wells are comprehended.

Consider what it will mean to have perhaps half the population of the world, in every
generation, restrained from or tempted to evade reproduction!
This thing, this euthanasia of the weak and sensual, is possible.

If deterrent punishments are used at all in the code of the future, the deterrent will neither
be death, nor mutilation of the body, nor mutilation of the life by imprisonment, nor any
horrible things like that, but good, scientifically caused pain, that will leave nothing but a
memory.

But as some super-saturated solution will crystallize out with the mere shaking of its beaker,
so must the new order of men come into visibly organized existence through the
concussions of war …
And so it is, I infer, that, whether violently as a revolution or quietly and slowly, this gray
confusion that is democracy must pass away inevitably by its own inherent conditions …

The nation that produces in the near future the largest proportional development of
educated and intelligent engineers and agriculturists, of doctors, schoolmasters,
professional soldiers, and intellectually active people of all sorts;
the nation that most resolutely picks over, educates, sterilizes, exports, or poisons its
people of the abyss; … will certainly be the nation that will be the most powerful in
warfare as in peace, will certainly be the ascendant or dominant nation before … 2000.

Countless people, from maharajas to millionaires and from pukkha sahibs to pretty ladies,
will hate the new world order, be rendered unhappy by the frustration of their passions and
ambitions through its advent and will die protesting against it.
