That Was The Year That Was – 2020-2021

31st March 2021

I am counting the year that has just passed as from 1^st April 2020 to today 31^st March 2021.More like the years that the Romans counted.

Not unlike the years that the Chinese calculate. The year that has just passed was their Year of the Rat. And not the Year of the Cat which is an Al Stewart album which I have; in my opinion, an excellent album.

I really think that year of the Rats is more appropriate. Rats of all sorts exposed and coming out of the woodwork. Uncivil Service rats, Health Service rats, police rats, you name it, they all came out.

Political rats as well, except they have been out and about for years anyway. There are other rats too. Germany for instance. In German a rat can be: advice, council, counsel, piece of advice, or a senior official.

The senior officials in Germany live in a rathaus, or town hall. Haus is a house in English. So German ‘rats’ live in a rathouse. Obviously.

Anyway, enough of rats for the time being. How about the events of the last 12 months? Well, in my books it really started with 1^st April, April Fools’ day. This day has not yet ended, so we have had a year of April Fools.

I think of it as the Day of the Lord as He is using foolishness to expose the frauds and lies, fraudsters and liars, murders and murderers.

Who are the Fools? All those fooled by the goings on all year of course.

Now, it has pointed out that there is a very serious virus going around. It has been around for millennia in reality, but this year it struck with a vengeance.

There are early warning signs; stopping shaking hands or hugging loved ones; wearing of masks on boiling hot days; walking on the other side of the street to avoid people who they think may well be carriers or super spreaders. That sort of thing.

Yes, I am talking about Stupid 20, a mutated version of Stupid 19, Stupid 18 etc., etc. I have written about this here if you need to check if you have a serious form.

I have observed that people are starting to get over it. Some at least. Online forums and YouTube comments indicate improvements in the nation’s (UK) mental health.

It is difficult to judge however what percentage of the population is seriously infected. All too many I fear. Still, improvements are an improvement so that is encouraging.

Stupid 20 is a world-wide phenomenon. I am not sure if any nation is worse than another; it is hard work trying to keep up.

The USA is sorely afflicted. It managed to elect a president who has had the disease for decades. Quite how they managed to do this is difficult to explain. Not impossible, just difficult you understand.

It has been a long process; first you need to poison the public mind with lies about how the world was made. Then you poison their bodies with toxic chemicals in food and drink, air, soil and water.

And toxic drugs, both legal and illegal. Sold on the streets by shady dealers and by many doctors in surgeries and hospitals, among others. Not much difference between them.

You gain control of the media so you can spread more lies and misinformation. Despite this there have been those who have tried to make it clear that standards are declining.

But if you take control of the tutorials and classrooms in universities and schools, and get them young as it were, you can easily raise a generation of idiots who don’t think for themselves.

Then you get them to believe that Democrats are generally good and Republicans generally bad, that dark brown is black and pale skin is white, that men are horrible and women are virtuous.

Make everything extreme and the world is your oyster to take advantage of. Then you can elect a demented senior pale male to be president, whilst the real power lies with the women who tell him what to do and say.

Which includes a darker shade of pale vice-president – Kamala Harris is hardly black after all, except in her heart.

Of course you do this fraudulently, and use dead people and postal votes to do this. What else explains the inexplicable?

Meanwhile the rest of the world looks on and wonders how the hell it happened.

It is a comedy show, the greatest pantomime on earth seeing poor old Joe Biden making an ass of himself on a daily basis. I say poor, but he seems to have done quite well financially over the years. It won’t do him any good of course.

I wonder how long the charade will last? Needs someone to wake America up.

Oi, America wake up!

Perhaps that will help. But then if the poisoned food and drink and drugs have made you obese and sluggish, do you have the energy? If you do have the energy you must ‘gird up your loins’ as the old saying goes.

Or another way ‘gird up your lions’ and roar with rage at those who threaten your lives. Put the fear of God into them and regain control of your lives and common sense.

After all, the public is the common man (and woman) who deserve far better than they are getting. But don’t because they let their standards slip. And forgot the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

In the UK we managed to get out of the EU, sort of anyway. There is still a long way to go, because the Nazi/comms have infiltrated our society in depth. Indeed, the whole world.  It takes time and effort to get them out.

And lockdowns help perhaps. Those who are innocent won’t/don’t wear masks and those who are not innocent do wear them. Easy to tell then. Unless you want to use masks yourself to try and slip in unnoticed among the criminal classes and get the real leaders of evil.

Also useful for removing useless uncivil servants of varying types and exposing useless bloated organisations like the NHS for example. Or how the police have become biased and lost much of the common sense that made our country the envy of the world once upon a time.

Lockdowns also useful for showing that we don’t need to rush round like demented chickens from one place to the next, that slow can be good and productive.

Indeed, more productive than fast most of the time, if matters are attended to with good planning and efficiency and proper training.

It seems to me we will be locked down in the UK until we learn the valuable lessons we should have retained years ago. Sadly, it seems there is still a long way to go.

Still, as I have pointed out on a number of occasions, the so-called rules are merely guidance and advice; if they are useful and make sense follow them if not don’t. It’s very easy. Just be prepared to have to argue the case with those infected by Stupid 20 or the latest variety that’s all. And support one another.

Another way of putting this is ‘love one another’ as has been said over many, many centuries by various people.

Even the Most High just wants to be loved, not worshiped. He would have said worship in the two greatest commands otherwise.

Sadly, the churches in the UK had largely forgotten this, which is why they were much targeted in the advice and guidance. Having become dull and stupid, they did not see the truth and hid themselves away out of fear. They need never have hidden, and it is to their shame that they did.

But perfect love casts out fear.

And you have a heavenly Father who loves all His children very much. Just as His Son Jesus loves them who gave His life for them, which Christians especially remember around this time of year.

And last year the rats came out, the year of lockdowns, masks, anti-social distancing and ‘R’ rates. The year of herd immunity, ‘R’ rates and of course vaccinations. The latter everybody wants, apparently.

Well, apparently not. More and more people are asking sensible questions about the sense in these when actual deaths from Covid 19 are really no more than the annual ‘flu. And total deaths have only increased because of lockdowns.

More depression, more suicides, more self-harm. More deaths in care homes than we would care to mention. How did they die, anybody know? Anybody care? Anybody asking tough questions of those responsible for the care of those in care homes?

Whose fault was it? The government’s for locking us down, or ourselves for believing the government could do this?

By and large it was ourselves, or at least those who did not wake up early to what was going on as I did. Because it was all guidance and advice, but carefully arranged to make us fear if we didn’t check carefully, which most people didn’t. Or if they did have not ‘got it’, as it were, as I did..

So don’t put all the blame on the government if you didn’t have the sense to double check. You should have double checked. Then you could have organised yourselves to act appropriately.

As to the virus Covid 19 I have written about this here where you will find the links to those pages I think will give you the information you need.

If you need statistics I have put my summary here for the UK and here for the USA. I may deal with other issues re other countries but statistics are rather tedious and I can think of better things to do.

If you should have any questions though just ask me and I will seek to answer them.

So that was the Year that was. They should make a film of it; a sequel to Dumb and Dumber. I would call it Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest, reflecting the fact that people have been the most absolute dumbest they could possibly be over the ‘flu.

Still, the rats are out and being caught so something good is coming of it. I wonder how many rats there are in Germany? Mmm. Lots I imagine. I must write about Germany before too long. An interesting history to research.

This year in China is now the Year of the Ox. I wonder what that means? The year of service perhaps, putting ones shoulders to the plough to get the fields ready. We’ll see. And I must do some detailed research and post something on China, it deserves attention.

If you are mentally exhausted by all that, why not try listening to ‘That was the week that was’ on Youtube, there is lots of good stuff.

Interestingly, there are two sets of double words (that & was) and two single words (the & week). A set of 4 and 2 perhaps. Or 42 – The Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything – click to follow link if you are interested.

I like the updated version from The Two Ronnies – 2000 Today

When you are rested you can then get yourself ready for battle against the powers that be to defeat the wild beasts that threaten our lands and our sanity.

And look out for the sign of Baldmichael, he will be back!
