Mario Laghos in The European Conservative describes a terrifying phenomenon straight out of sci-fi: the UK government’s “National Risk Unit” that, following violent crimes, terrorist attacks or other atrocities, deploys ready-made “recovery programmes” that channel victims’ responses into formless mourning and stage seemingly spontaneous “inter-faith vigils” – complete with pre-written signs and fake mourners. It’s all aimed at suppressing genuine human feelings like righteous anger and minimizing punishment of actual criminals.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth
Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.
