The Nuremberg Code

From looking at Google trends, it's clear that there has of late been more searches for Nuremberg code than Nuremberg trials. This may sound like a trivial distinction. However, the trials and the code are not as closely related as they may seem. The code is not a product of the trials. Rather, it's a document inspired by the trials. It's an expansion on the Hippocratic oath, with emphasis on medical experiments. As such, it's merely a guideline. It has no legal connotation. No-one can be charge for having broken the Nuremberg code; at least not for now.

But none of this matters at the moment. The elite is in control of the judiciary system. There won't be a trial held against the vaccine pushers any time soon. However, legality and ethics are not the same thing. The significance of the recent interest in the Nuremberg code is not about law. It's about ethics. The code is well formulated and clear as to the current state of things. What's going on is unethical. If it wasn't for the cover of law, vaccine pushers would be exposed as the criminals that they are.

This means that criminal cases may be made against vaccine pushers some time in the future. If the current elite is pushed aside by a revolution, the stage will be set for court cases, punishment and retribution.

A Totalitarian Pipe Dream

Before leaving Norway for good, I had to pay an exit tax on the house I sold. It hadn't been my primary residence for the last two years prior to my exit, so all my profits on the house sale were to go to the state. However, the money was already transferred to Portugal, and all my assets were transferred to my wife and children. I was the official owner of nothing, so there was nothing for the state to confiscate in case of my non-compliance. Hence, I declined to pay the exit tax.

A deciding factor in this was to consider the worst case scenario. Without any assets to confiscate, the Norwegian state could at most arrest me and put me in jail. However, that would require coordination with the Portuguese state, and the last thing a bureaucrat wants to do is to deal with another bureaucrat in another country. It would be a costly and difficult procedure, and there would be nothing gained. I'm not a public figure. There's no glory in parading me around as an example. The only thing gained would be an extra inmate in one of their jails, and Norwegian jails are nothing to fear. They are cushy places with free food and entertainment. At the most, I would have to spend a year in such a place before being allowed back to Portugal.

As it turned out, the taxman quickly gave up on me. Without anything that he could confiscate with a few keystrokes on his computer, he gave up on me, and I haven't heard much from him since. I get a note every year detailing my debt to the state of Norway, and that's it.

I have no bank account or any other electronically registered assets. Everything is owned by my wife and children. I'm therefore in a position of great freedom. No-one can confiscate anything from me. If they fine me and I refuse to pay, they will have to put me in jail, and that's a cost on them; not on me. More likely than not, they will let me go.

I sold my house in Norway more than four years ago, so this arrangement has been in place for a while now, and we haven't had any problems with it. On the contrary, my wife and I are noticeably better off now that we're paying less in taxes. However, this arrangement hinges on the fact that I had sufficient wealth back in 2017 to retire. I'm not employed by anyone, and hence not required to be part of the system in order to earn a living. But for anyone in my position, I can highly recommend this arrangement, especially in times of tyranny.

Most people cannot break away from the system as much as I have, and I have only been able to do what I've done with the cooperation of my wife and adult children. However, there's a lesson to this that anyone can take advantage of. Breaking away from the system as much as possible comes with great rewards. Done correctly, there are less taxes to pay and more freedom to enjoy.

The benefits afforded to those who are disconnected from the system become all the more evident during times of tyranny. Not having a smartphone becomes a blessing. This tracking device is central to the current plan to enslave us, and the solution to this is to not own such a device. Saving money in metals rather than a savings account is another blessing. The state cannot confiscate our savings, and they cannot inflate it away through money printing.

Under total tyranny, the best position is to own nothing but metals, and to rent everything else. But we're not there yet. My wife owns an apartment where we live. That's still the most economic arrangement. However, if they start taxing real-estate to the point of making it uneconomical, we'll sell this place and rent instead. The money received from the sale will be put into more metals, where it will remain until the tyrants give up on their impossible quest for total control.

The problem with total control is that it requires people to put up with so many inconveniences that it's better to find ways around it. A stay in jail becomes better than compliance. Alternative systems become attractive. That's when the tyrants lose control, and their dystopian vision of the future becomes exposed as the pipe dream that it always was.

Will they Hang the Censors?

The hits against the official narrative keep on coming. The mere specter of a Nuremberg trial is giving people cold feet. They know that they have sullied themselves with lies, and are now rushing to declare themselves clean of any wrongdoing. Latest up in this respect is an Ivy league professor who's suddenly speaking up for liberty.

Safe and effective alternatives to the vaccine are getting more attention, with Joe Rogan now promoting Ivermectin and other drugs. These are alternatives that have been censored out of any debate. The number of people who could have benefited from this, but didn't because of censorship, runs in the thousands, if not millions.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the vaccines are ineffective to the point of doing more harm than good. It's also clear that the censored alternatives could have saved many lives. All put together, this paints a terrible picture of the average censor.

The official narrative is unraveling, and it's a mere matter of time before the rats start turning on each other. The only question remaining is who will they hang.

Politicians will claim that they were ignorant of the facts due to censorship, and scientists will claim that they were not heard due to censorship. The average Facebook user will claim that they were deceived by the censors. The typical Google user will say that they were denied information due to censorship.

The obvious fall guy seems to be the censor. Censors will be among the first to hang when blowback strikes, so now seems like a good time to get out of the censorship business; just in case.

Silver as Currency

My brother bought a monster-box of silver coins a few months back. That hasn't been a very good investment so far. However, his intent is not to sell the coins but to one day use them as currency. His reasoning is simple and clear. We're moving towards a cashless society. Digital currencies are being pushed by central banks, with the stated objective to make all transactions known to the currency issuers; namely the central banks.

The official aim of digital currencies is to stamp out the parallel economy. However, there are several other benefits for the authorities. Interest rates can be made negative, and every transaction can be taxed. Money can be confiscated, or eroded over time.

Digital currencies hold the promise of total control. They are the Holy Grail of central banking. But reality is not on the side of the control freaks. There's a way around the control net, and that's what my brother aims to take advantage of.

Silver and gold can be used as money. This will come in especially handy in the parallel economy where cash is now used to settle transactions. Without cash, silver and gold becomes obvious alternatives. Coins can be used instead of bank notes.

My brother expect the demand for gold and silver to go up as a direct consequence of central bank interference. The more they push for a cashless society, the more demand there will be for gold and silver coins.

Silver will do particularly well because it's of more use in small transactions. Gold will be used to buy big things like real-estate and cars. Silver will be the preferred currency by handymen, local shops and farmers. Everyday transactions will be done in silver.

Looking into historic values for silver, we see the enormous potential in this metal. In Roman times, before they debased their currency, one Denarius corresponded to a day's wage for a skilled laborer. With six Denarius making up one ounce of silver, my brother's stash of one ounce coins will be worth a small fortune if this valuation ever returns.

The day that an ounce of silver buys six days of labor is far off, if it is to return at all. However, the potential is there. Early Roman society had a free market economy. The value of silver was established through free exchange. Hence, it's not impossible that a free market will eventually revert to that valuation. Once silver becomes accepted as currency in the parallel economy, the price of silver will climb towards this historic value.

Nuremberg Trials

There's a meme circulating on Facebook these days with a quote from the Nuremberg trails. It states that any form of coercion used in connection with medial experiments must be considered a crime. The implication being that the current push to vaccinate people is criminal no matter what the law may say.

Another legal principle established during the Nuremberg trials is that following orders is not a legal defense. We are all required to do the right thing. If it can be demonstrated in a court of law that there was awareness of the evils being done, that in itself is sufficient grounds for punishment.

The cynic in me will point out that the Nuremberg trials were in fact show trials. Their purpose was to establish moral superiority of the victors. The ones on trial were the defeated enemies of the allies. War crimes committed by the allies were not considered. Such crimes were dealt with in separate courts.

This means that there will be no new Nuremberg trials as long as the current political elite is in power. There has to be a revolution before such trials can be considered. However, the ghost of Nuremberg is still with us. There's an awareness that the law as it is today may not protect against blowback tomorrow, and this is making people nervous.

Just the other day, two senior FDA officials stepped down over a row with the White House related to booster shots. There was also some positive words to be heard about natural immunity from Pfizer. People are starting to fear possible repercussions.

It's too early to get excited about the prospect of a new round of Nuremberg trials. However, the mere mention of them seems to strike fear into the hearts of the top executives that the totalitarians rely on in order to execute their plan. The totalitarian paradox is coming into play.

This means that we should mention the Nuremberg trials whenever appropriate. The more this circulates in conversations and on the web, the harder it gets to motivate the executives to do their job. This reluctance will in turn trickle down to the minions who themselves will start to realize that they cannot simply follow orders.

Without conviction among the executives and their minions, the totalitarian plan comes to nothing, and that's when a revolution can take place, as has happened many times before in history.

Not Very Effective

A prominent politician in the US has just died shortly after being fully vaccinated. His illness progressed at a remarkable speed, killing him within weeks. However, no-one lays the connection between his vaccine and his illness. We're told that his illness was due to the virus, and that it would have been worse if he hadn't been vaccinated.

Family and friends are urging people to take the vaccine. They claim that the man's death is proof positive that vaccines are important. The level of denial and doublethink is amazing. They live in a bizarre world where all illnesses are due to the virus and where every outcome, including death, is assumed to be worse in unvaccinated patient.

These people cannot be argued with. No amount of evidence will persuade them. However, there's an undeniable fact that even the most brainwashed will accept. The vaccines aren't very effective.

This statement leaves the ones in denial with the option to stay with the official narrative, and is therefore allowed past their mental barrier. They can claim that the vaccine is better than nothing, even if it isn't perfect.

This is how we chip away the false confidence expressed by those in denial. Present them first with something benign that can be accepted. After a while, the next bit of trivia will also pass their mental shield.

Our personal observation that we know more people ill from the vaccine than ill from the virus will pass, because this too can be countered. The ones in denial can scoff at the assertion. But the assertion will stick, especially if we're known to be honest and upright.

A similar observation will soon pass their mental barrier as well. Hospitals appear to be fuller of sick people now than a year ago. It's almost as if the vaccine is making people ill. This statement can be made once most people know and accept that hospitals really are filling up with sick people.

Then, there's the factual observation that Delta isn't very dangerous. There are studies that prove this to be so. However, people in denial will not accept this, because it contradicts the official narrative about the hospitals being full of people ill from the virus.

Those in denial cannot accept the fact that the virus is relatively harmless without giving up on the idea that the ill in hospitals are all suffering from the virus. This is therefore a statement that will have to wait until denial is sufficiently chipped away to let it pass.

For now, not very effective is the go to phrase that we should use. Everything else can wait for later, when denial is starting to lose its grip on the population.

Converting the Vaccinated

I had a conversation with my parents the other day, and it made me realize that it isn't my mother who fell for the vaccine hoax. It was my father. My mother has been skeptical to the vaccine all along.

This is the opposite of what I'd been thinking, because my mother is the gullible one. She falls for practical joke while my father sees straight through them. However, my father is the hypochondriac, and this, rather than my mother's gullibility, is the reason they went along with the vaccination program.

This realization put a lot of pieces into place. It explained my mother's humorous take on much of what's going on. It explains why she detailed her vaccination ordeal to me in an e-mail. It also explains my father's aggressive reaction to my contrary views.

Our conversation was not about the virus, but the subject was brought up briefly by my father, and it was the way my mother struck it down that gave me the clue to what's been going on. My mother didn't want to talk about the virus. It's not very dangerous, she said. We should accept its existence, and learn to live with it.

My mother seems intent on not taking the booster shot. Armed with some of my arguments, she'll put her trust in God, aka Nature, instead of Pfizer. However, my father will probably take the booster. He's still convinced that the flu is a major crisis.

The dynamics between my father and mother is not unique. I've seen it play out in other setting as well. A doctor friend of mine has pressured his entire family into taking the vaccine, and I've noticed that many of his family members have been reluctant to comply. He's not an expert on mRNA technology, so he has no more understanding of the vaccine than anyone else. But he uses his authority to exert pressure. His motivation appears to be his hypochondria rather than insight.

Then there're couples like my older brother and wife who've taken the vaccine for practical reasons. They don't trust the vaccine. On the contrary, they expect their health to suffer in the future. But they want to travel, and with this liberty taken away from them unless they vaccinate, they went along with the program.

It appears that conviction is concentrated among hypochondriacs, and that most people are either skeptical or indifferent. The vaccination rate in a country or region does not reflect sentiment. Most vaccinated individuals are not pro-vaccination. They are pressured or lured into it, and many are resentful of this.

This means that the unvaccinated have more sympathy in the population than it may appear, and this should be taken advantage of. The recipe for success in this respect is to promote the sort of messages I've used on my parents. Point out that the virus isn't very dangerous. Tone down anything that may concern the unhappy vaccinated. Don't tell them that it cannot be undone. Tell them that the vaccine fades over time. Nature heals all. We have to put our trust in God and learn to live with the virus.

It's the age old message of love, faith and hope. Keep in mind that love is the opposite of fear. By encouraging people to stop fearing the virus, we make them open up for the good things in life. It brings immediate relief and joy. Point out the power of nature to regenerate and heal. I have a balcony of flowers. I have micro-composts. There are insects and plants everywhere. Nature is amazing, even when confined to an area as small as a balcony.

Finally, we should present a vision of a future worth striving for. A vision of children playing freely and carelessly, people traveling wherever they please, and where every store is open to all people regardless of their vaccine status.

These are messages that we should share directly with friends and family. We can do this in combination with our strategy of dread towards minions. There's no conflict in doing both, because dread is a stepping stone to doubt, and doubt opens up for alternatives.
