“Scientists say they’ve finally found proof of the afterlife,” announced the top story in Mail Online this week, alongside the U.S. election.

Heartwarming, reassuring, utterly stupid stories about death—running at the very top of the news agenda—have been dominating the middle-market British press, I’ve noticed, ever since the excess death rate became a controversy.

Instead of looking into why people have been dying at a faster rate since 2021, the mainstream media appear to be very much taking part in Project No Fear.

I cannot wait for RFK Jr. to get his feet under the table in the health portfolio, because I have a feeling he and Trump might just rescue the post-Covid health debate before it sinks into such lunacy, and plumbs such ludicrous depths of denial and cover-up and collusion with Big Pharma, that it is past the point of no return.

Project No Fear is way, way worse than Project Fear, potentially. Way, way more dark and weird and twisted.

“For the mainstream media, discussing the possibility of life after death has become an easier story to write than any journalistic investigation into why so many people in their 40s are collapsing.”

What appears to be happening in the U.K. legacy media is a mass reassurance operation that while death is more likely, suddenly, it’s also a lovely, lovely thing to look forward to, so there is no need for the sheep to panic, or ask questions. Off you wander to the edge of the cliff, sheeples, and over you go…baaaaah!

Nurses are interviewed often in the Mail explaining how as people die they talk of seeing a beautiful light they are walking toward. People who nearly died but survived are interviewed describing how wonderful it feels to walk into the light.

Heck, the MSM are even running stories about life on other planets and how we’re not alone in the universe. Is there so much interest in otherworldly planes because the establishment is suddenly becoming more open-minded? Or is this a sinister attempt to take the eye off?

“I’ve seen death and it’s nothing to be scared of,” says a nurse in Mail Online on June 1.

“One night I saw an angel comforting a dying patient. Countless others have told me about their spellbinding visions.”

The “top scientist” who blithely asserts he has proof of the afterlife, in the Mail on Nov. 4, turns out to be “an associate professor of medicine at New York University’s Langone Medical Centre,” who claims to have undertaken thirty years of research involving “millions of patients” to assess “where life begins and ends.” Millions, really? How could you even meet millions of people in one lifetime? Unless he’s on his second or third life.

As for where life begins and ends…I would have thought he could have asked any more qualified colleague than himself and he would find out: It begins with birth, when you come out your mother’s womb, and it ends in your last breath, when your heart stops and your brain activity ends. Not sure why he felt he had to study “millions of patients” to find that out.

Look, I’m a Roman Catholic. I believe in the afterlife. But if it’s spirituality you’re looking for, you don’t really want to ask the syringe-toting medical profession. Try opening a Bible, or the doors of a church, for example.

In another one of these “death is lovely” stories, Amber Cavanagh, 43, suffered two strokes, but the story for the Mail was not why; it was her account of how she “entered the meeting point of heaven.”

She turns out to be a psychic medium. Good on her. But since when did the MSM run big with the claims of psychic mediums banging on about heaven?

What I find very disturbing is how, for the mainstream media, discussing the possibility of life after death has become an easier story to write than any journalistic investigation into why so many people in their 40s are collapsing.

How would that go? Let’s have a quick go, just to see what it would be like, because it happens so seldom, with apologies for all the facts and figures:

Before the Covid vaccine was unveiled, there were 46,257 deaths in England and Wales in the month of October 2020, according to the Office of National Statistics, and in November 2020 there were 51,273.

The Covid-19 vaccination program was rolled out on 8 December 2020–and by June 40 million Brits had received it—so you would think it impacted the death rate downward in this period.

In December 2020 there were 56,617 deaths. In January 2021 there were 73,227 deaths. In February 2021 there were 58,688 deaths, and in March 2021 there were 48,551.

A year on, and in November 2021 there were 51,524 deaths, in December 2021 there were 52,764. In January 2022 there were 53,069.

Total monthly deaths are not down. They’re up. So the governments who pushed this vaccine as safe and effective, and who still push it a bit now, just for the elderly, are in a pickle.

How do we know it was safe and effective, exactly? In what sense do the authorities prove that, as we look back at the figures in the cold light of day, while also celebrating how wonderful death is, and how much we are going to enjoy walking toward the light?

How do they prove “safe and effective,” other than by plucking very random-sounding figures out of the air and claiming, as they often do, that several hundred thousand people to date have been saved from death by the vaccine?

If you are claiming the vaccine has worked, you obviously do need to say, if you at all can, that these extra deaths we are seeing since 2021 aren’t Covid, because if the extra deaths are Covid then this vaccine is a load of pants.

But if you say the extra deaths aren’t Covid then you need to explain what the hell they are.

As it happens, the British government decided to say these new extra deaths aren’t Covid.

Covid deaths are down, the vaccine is working, it said. Covid has been declared over, and this hideous Covid-like flu everyone is getting is, er, flu.

And very much as a postscript, yes, other deaths are up, and what of it? The health service was under pressure, people were not attending their doctor during lockdown…delayed appointments and diagnosis, etc., etc.

Are we really going to kid ourselves that if some Covid death is down, while other causality death is up, and the net position is more death overall, then that is a good situation?

If you’re trying to avoid death by proudly taking part in this great Covid vaccine project, then you shouldn’t ignore what the bottom-line figures say. Death became more likely in the era post-Covid vaccine, not less. That is a stone-cold sober statistical fact.

No explanation was ever given for this increase in mortality, but as we all know, there was “a rise in excess deaths” post-2021 that continues, arguably, and which led to all the “conspiracy theorists” kicking off, including the incoming U.S. health secretary, RFK.

To deal with us Brit conspiracy theorists, the U.K. authorities got busy explaining, and some of the monthly breakdowns go into causes of deaths.

In October 2021 the Office of National Statistics said Alzheimer’s was the biggest killer at 11.3 percent, while ischemia of the heart was listed at 10.6 percent of all deaths, but only in Wales—no figure was given for heart problems for England. It could be 10 percent or 11 percent for heart problems in England, but they don’t tell us.

Ischemia is when not enough blood is getting to the heart because of narrowing arteries, but of course, whether you want to class a vein as too narrow or the blood as too thick with clots to go through, it is very much a matter for debate and presentation, in my view. The end result is the same.

Elsewhere the ONS summarizes: “Between March 2020 and December 2022, the leading causes of death with the highest numbers of excess deaths in England and Wales were symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions, associated with old age and frailty (12,170 excess deaths), Cirrhosis and other diseases of liver (4,846 excess deaths), and Cardiac arrhythmias (4,375 excess deaths).”

So now we’re getting some official reference to hearts going spontaneously bang, as it were.

“The place of occurrence with the most excess deaths due to causes other than COVID-19 was private homes, with a 105,211 excess (29.1% above average).”

This is interesting because dying at home suggests sudden unexpected death. You’re not in hospital because you were well one minute, dying the next. There was no time to get there.

As we hear about the death and dying all around us anecdotally, on and on these rising death-rate figures go, month on month, with no mention of Covid—all very much not Covid, according to the figures—but also nothing to worry about, allegedly, until the ONS just has enough of it and in February this year it announced that it is changing the way it presents deaths.

A new formula was unveiled, and if you want to understand it perhaps have a look at YouTuber John Campbell’s masterly attempt to unravel it because it is not straightforward. It involves quadratic equations.

As a result, the excess-death figures that had been looking a bit alarming immediately started looking a lot less worrying—although the ONS figures are now at odds with other statistical outlets, including Our World in Data.

Said the ONS, when asked to explain: “The key features of our new methodology for estimating the number of excess deaths in the UK are that: Population growth is taken into account (all else being equal, we should expect more deaths among larger populations). Population ageing is taken into account (all else being equal, we should expect more deaths among populations where a bigger share of the population is elderly)….”

The bottom line is that by the time a page full of calculus has been applied to the U.K. death rate, what was a sharp rise becomes better even than no rise…it becomes a fall. But it’s not really a fall. It’s a conjuring trick.

No wonder it’s easier to explain that angels exist, and when you die they come down from heaven to fetch you, and this has been scientifically proven by a Professor of Angelology, from the University of the East of Eden, who has studied a hundred million patients on several planets in a number of different solar systems and can confirm that death is not the end.
