In case anybody outside the UK is unaware of this (which you almost certainly are, which is kind of the point) a journalist named Isabel Oakeshott signed an NDA with with Matt Hunt, who was the UK Health Security during early covid hysteria, to help him write a book, then breached the NDA and leaked ~100k WhatsApp messages to the press. The messages show - entirely unsurprisingly - that the UK government didn’t have a fucking clue what it was doing, then amidst all the lying and smearing to justify lockdowns, started lying and smearing to cover it all up as well.
Not that this in itself should be news to anybody, but two things stand out: i) there’s now undeniable proof in the public record of everything that has been a “conspiracy theory” for 3 years, and ii) the mainstream media is flat out embarrassing itself in a hilariously tone deaf way by giving precisely zero shits about the actual story and pretending that the “news” here is the breach of the NDA.
Absolutely nobody is buying it. It’s all very cathartic. Nature is healing ☺️
But seriously, for a less naive take consider that this all feeds into the increasingly undeniable realisation that state control of information dissemination was key to the catastrophe. The Muskificiation of twitter may be a very slight reprieve - and one that makes the regime shit itself much more than it really ought to because it has no idea how anything actually works - but if they understood nostr even a little the level of self-shitting would be off the charts 🙏
