Neil Oliver takes a look at the economics of COVID and how government intervention and spending has crushed the working class. However, it is not the financial aspects that carry the worst debt in the aftermath, there is a human cost that can never be repaid or recreated. WATCH:
{TRANSCRIPT} – “There are debts that can be repaid and debts that can’t. During the time of Covid, vast piles of money were conjured into being by the government, borrowed as if by magic from the distant future. Unimaginable quantities of that funny money were wasted – spent on PPE that didn’t work or that wasn’t needed and is now yet more plastic heaped into landfills or otherwise littering the landscape and seascape. Millions went on the Nightingale hospitals that were never used. Around 37 billion pounds – ten percent of a total of 370 billion pounds set aside for Bounce Back Loans and the Eat Out to Help Out scheme – were lost to fraudsters. £37 billion pounds.”
“Lost to fraud and gone for good. Whatever the final figure for the theft, that money has simply been written off as irrecoverable. Taxpayers will foot the bill for it all eventually of course – along with paying back the rest of the trillions sprayed around with abandon by a government of headless chickens.
Furlough schemes paid billions more to employers so they could pay and thereby retain staff sent home to months of lockdowns during which the economy ground to a halt. All that debt has to be repaid too, by taxpayers. Hundreds of thousands of people, at least – many of them self-employed, did not qualify for any help at all while simultaneously being barred from going to work to try and earn livings for themselves and their families. To add insult to injury, those who received nothing, many who thereby lost everything – who had their noses pressed up against the outside of a window showing a financial feast to which they were not even invited – still have to put their hands in empty pockets to pay for help enjoyed by others but denied to them.
Those debts – including sums squandered, sums exploited by friends of those in power – will eventually have to be repaid, you might reasonably assume, one way or another, even if the sums concerned are so eye-wateringly huge those accounts will be glowing red for decades. It’s only money, you might say. You might say that if you’ve never gone without.
But then there are the other debts. Other debts that can’t be repaid and will never be repaid. Many and determined were the voices that warned and kept warning month after month that society was being undone by lockdown and the masking of faces.
The isolation and, perhaps worst of all, the incessant fear deliberately whipped up by government nudge units and pushed day after day until too many souls didn’t know which way was up, and still don’t. All of it was deliberately inflicted upon millions of people, some of them the most vulnerable – the poor, the elderly, children.
There were warnings of inevitable damage to mental health, to physical health – and so it has come to pass. The NHS has acknowledged what it has described as a “second pandemic” of depression, anxiety, psychosis and eating disorders.
So overwhelmed are specialists they are “bouncing back” many of those in need of help to the GPs who referred them – even those most at risk from suicide, self-harm and starvation. Doctors have warned people will simply die of conditions that must only be left untreated.
And then there are the children, and yet more debts that cannot be repaid. An Ofsted report says face masks and lockdowns have left a generation of our youngest children struggling to crawl, walk, talk, dress themselves, make friends – even to go to the toilet unaided.
Children that are two years old now spent their whole lives in a locked down, masked up world. Many of those of the poorest families spent weeks and months in homes with no outside spaces, stuck in rooms watching screens of one sort or another. The same report revealed children were mimicking the voices of cartoon characters after long hours spent watching and listening to nothing else.
The authors noted, in the simplest terms, that youngsters had missed out on: “stories, singing and having conversations.”
Babies born and raised in masked worlds are: “struggling to respond to facial expressions … particularly anxious and not used to seeing different faces.”
Stories, singing, playing, talking, seeing faces, after being fed and held in loving arms, these are among the most fundamental necessities of childhood. Tens of thousands of years ago our ancestors knew it mattered to tell their children stories, to sing them songs, so that all that had been learned by the ancestors would not be forgotten and the tribe would remain closely bound by the sharing of it all.
That some stories and songs have come down to us from a time beyond the reach of memory is testament to how much they were deemed to matter. Behaviour that was possible and essential around campfires in worlds separated from our own by ice ages, was thrown away by ours. What is lost or denied at the beginning of a life, is not necessarily obtained or regained later.
That an Ofsted report should find such basic life experience knowingly denied to millions of our youngest is appalling, unforgivable and shaming. This is nothing less than neglect – wholesale neglect by society of the most precious and vulnerable resource we have. All of it was avoidable and should have been avoided.
The decision to lock down and to enforce mask wearing was, I say, utterly wrong. And yet, this week, when questioned by this channel, prime minister Boris Johnson said he would not rule out applying lockdowns again in the future.
Obviously, to vow never to lock down again would be a tacit admission by him that they were the wrong move all along – and no modern, self-preserving PM would ever be so honest – but there we are … the lockdowns that did so much needless damage, caused so much unforgivable harm, remain on the table.
There will inevitably be those that say children are resilient – and so they are, thank goodness. But just because children are resilient doesn’t mean we should stress test them to destruction. And make no mistake – some of the ground lost already will never be recovered by many. Our debt to them will remain always unpaid.
Children now are growing up in a world very different to the one most of us remember. To take but one example: online, on social media, are images, videos and posts all pushing the same message – that changing your gender is the cure for all manner of problems.
Crowdfunders raise money to help children bypass the NHS and obtain puberty blocking drugs from private sources, and to pay for private operations to remove breasts, or to construct them, or to reshape genitals, or to remove internal anatomy including the womb. No one can honestly claim to know the long-term consequences of taking such steps.
This is another epidemic.
Between 2014 and 2015 there were around 700 referrals each year to the Gender Identity Service at London’s Tavistock clinic. That number rose to around 2,600 each year between 2019 and 2020.
That more and more children are unhappy, at the existential level, and reporting feeling uncomfortable with the sexual identity they were born with, is undeniable and poses all manner of questions in urgent need of answers. It is almost as though Gender Dysphoria had mutated to become as airborne as Covid ever was.
There is also, anyway, a growing preoccupation with the sexuality of children – all children. In Scotland and Wales, government surveys ask children as young as 13 about their “sex lives”, enquiring about what age they were when they first had sex, how long it has been since they last had sex.
Those are not even the most intrusive or intimate of the questions in those surveys. If I had been asked questions like those, by relative strangers, when I was 13, my explicit instructions from my parents were to run for home.
The incessant, relentless push to spend more and more time talking to children about sex and gender means I personally find it hard not to conclude that we are, as a society, being increasingly familiarised with the thought of sexually active children. Why would that be? To what end? For whose benefit? Certainly not necessarily the benefit of children who are, anyway, below the legal age of consent.
Life is short. Childhood is shorter still and, judging by what schools and other manifestations of officialdom want to talk to them about, have them think about, getting shorter every day.
Psychologists have known for years that children must be socialised by the age of four. If they have not become by then children able to take up their place in society – through mixing and playing with their peers and being supervised by responsible adults, whose faces they can see, whose mouths they can watch forming words, and all the rest of it – then at the most fundamental level they never will.
More and more it feels like the needs of children are being set aside and overlooked – sacrificed to ensure the wellbeing, comfort or objectives of their elders. Childhood itself is under attack, sullied by earlier and earlier confrontation with, and initiation into, the ways of adults.
During the time of Covid, the needs of children were put last. Education compromised or abandoned altogether. Play reduced to an afterthought, contact with family and friends forbidden. We could argue all day about the threat posed to children by the vaccines. Undeniable harm however has been done by two years of the mass psychosis of their elders.
More has been taken from children than might ever be measured. That debt will never be repaid.” (LINK)

Nobody says it better than Neil.
The true fight is for the hearts and minds of the children, there has never been another.
“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF,”
-President Trump (March 2020)
He then proceeded with a cure that paved the way for installed communists to destroy the country in record time.
You are a special kind of el stupido
IF this had been a real pandemic — a REAL medical event of horrible proportion and effect — and IF the outcome of stuff from PFE and MRNA and the others had been a true vaccine to help defeat a true danger to our health — then Trump’s ‘Operation Warpspeed’ might have been something for him and other to tout as an accomplishment.
But — right from the beginning more than 24 months ago — there were those whose warnings about the enormous fraud being unleashed on all of US were officially ignored and censored by a complicit media — and their warnings proved to be the truth …
Now it is incumbent upon all of US to find those responsible — the GreatFauci and his boss(es) and Bill from the Gates of Hell and the rest of the WEF/Davos/great reset crowd — including Larry Fink of BlackRock and his minions — who have taken millions of folks to the abyss and then watched them, as they follow orders, jump into that abyss — ‘voluntarily’.
No.
I don’t know what you mean.
He, on that same tweet, proposed the end of the lockdowns. He wanted the Country back in business by Easter 2020.
Kind of like how Putin meant to have Ukraine up and running with eastern Ukraine purged of the neo Nazi. Yet our very own American deep-state operatives wanted to squeeze as much bloodshed as possible from the conflict. Go figure. Who is it that’s behind all the economic and health care and war problems? The Devil himself.
The NWO/WEF need to crush the American Middle Class and Russia.
Those are the last two combatants.
“It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.” ― Herodotus, ‘The Histories. ‘
This:

I think we all know what public schools and Hollywood are up to.
Cui Bono… to whom is it a benefit?…
It is almost always the most important question (next to, maybe, ‘what is the purpose?’)…
Neil asks the right question… I think we all know the very disturbing answer….
Pedophiles rule Hollywood, sad reality.
And at least 1/9th of SCROTUS. (misspelled purposefully)
Parents who enjoin with their children in: viewing reality shows such as the Kardashians; never protesting what was the equivalent of a pole dance by Beyonce at a SuperBowl half time; brash and half naked females featured in magazines and on air; rappers who spew vile language, etc. all prove that, in the words of Daniel Greenfield, we accept those who “confuse vulgarity with creativity.” There is nothing creative in the vulgar commercials or shows frequently aired on TV/radio and most certainly not one quality to celebrate in those we designate as celebrities.
Here is one of the most effective videos about how horrible vaccines really are – a study of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children – clocking in at only 5 minutes:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/gROe4FJFExbD/
The vaccinated are exponentially more likely to be sick in their life or even die early. Please share it far and wide, it packs a hefty punch.
Thank you so much for this. I’ve shared it and will keep sharing it
What an imposed disaster this has been. I hope the kids bounce back and do well. Of course I see a lot of adults who are not doing so well either. Been rough on us all.
Something seriously wrong with these adults that manipulate our children. The sexualization of our children is sick! The regime talks about suicide of the young due to not being able to cope with their identity; is causing the highest anxiety ridden generation. A catch 22 is occurring and the backlash will be detrimental to those cognitive enough to see what this sick tryant regime created.
Since BHO, our children have been pilled up, classified into bipolar, ADD, anxiety ridden and fed stress narratives. Pile on Transgender and every other label along with toxic virus phobias and the results will be horrible.
Our children are so confused. Sad, sad state of affairs.
The degeneracy of our children, with drugs, & lack of discipline, started long before obozo. Like the destruction of the country, he just put it into high gear.
This man is a treasure.
His eloquent words remind me of “I Dreamed A Dream,” the song from “Les Miserables
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed, that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed

I like the Britain’s Got Talent one where you can see Simon Cowell get smacked with a metaphorical 2×4.
Susan Boyle.
I am partial to that one as well.
Sublime.
I wonder how many now understand the evil and corruption power-plays that led to the COVID BS by Obamacare.
Excellent piece. It is all so sad and maddening!! Damn NYC Mayor Adams still carrying on with the cruelty. I can’t understand why anyone would follow his orders to continue masking little kids!!
Word on the street is that New Yorkers are having serious buyers remorse about him.
I know New Yorkers, they are a lost cause.
Medical ignorance.
There will be payback. The people will not stand for this malicious mistreatment on such a massive, worldwide, scale. We are many, they are few.
Lockdowns were part of the plan, control was the goal. The Elite will never say it was a mistake because it was part of their plan. They really do not want to give up the power it gave them over the population of the world.
More Neil Oliver !!!
He nails it every week
People of the world need to be serving up every covid tyrant on a platter so it never can happen again
And Again, the left is insane and recruiting more insane ranks with their lunacy games
I love this soul
Wow, at first I was depressed. Now, I am more fired up than ever. Expecting my first grandchild in July. Thanks to a Treeper on another thread I searched for and purchased all episodes of Davey and Goliath. Then found a good deal on a set of Rush Revere. Will be a few years before either come into play, these devils will never meet my grandchild.
Check out Prager U Kids.
This is an international crime against mankind. It’s so sad to see the hundreds of millions who eagerly accepted the Covid lies and lined up like sheep. Even now they are true believers. Very few even stopped to question what they were doing. They were failed by their political leaders and the entire medical establishment. I, for one, have taken a new, more discerning look at ANY doctor. These vaccinations have been a totally unneeded disaster. Sadly, as Sundance once said, for those that crossed that rubicon there is no turning back. It’s human nature to not admit to being a victim.
How many millions of lives have been altered because of this mass psychosis?
Here’s one (life), and this doesn’t even get into all the premature nursing-home deaths of elder citizens as Gov Cuomo and others seeded their care homes with Typhoid Marys
Covid Hospitals: The New Killing Fields?
I have no words to how horrified I am from reading this. I can only thank G-d I was not treated like that when I had covid. There but for the grace of G-d.
Fauci and Emmanuel’s death panels would take out half of congress, but of course, they’re exempt.
My beloved Wales, where I lived for so long before moving back here, has gone to pot. Mark Drakeford, First Minister and a member of the odious socialist Labour Party has destroyed it. Same can be said of Nicola Sturgeon, also Labour, and First Minister in Scotland. In fact, the whole of the UK? I simply recognize it no longer.
I don’t know how Neil keeps his cool.
Incidentally, GPs in the UK are actually being paid EXTRA if they put children on puberty blockers. That comes straight from Johnson’s Tory government…the party of the family as it once was…but no longer.
Johnson himself is, by the way, a firm believer in depopulation. His father, Stanley, is a close friend of Bill Gates, and is a co-founder of Planned Parenthood.
Are those connecting strings to all this perversion I’m seeing there and worldwide? I think so.
Perhaps it’s time to bring back the witch trials, as these monsters cannot be called doctors any longer.
It is no longer a calling.
The mostly Democrats’ use of Covid and Covid itself have caused so much harm – all the damage to people physically and the lives lost, some of them so unnecessarily, the disastrous lockdowns, the mask mandates, the vaccine mandates, the vaccine passports, the power trips of the elites and the fact that they are not willing to give up that power, the fear and mass psychosis of society and how easily so many gave up power. But the saddest consequence is what has been done to our children.
Neil Oliver hit the main points so well. It is the most depressing history of 2 years that I have lived.
I ordered the Bible story books of my childhood earlier this week. When they arrive, I’ll start reading them to my boys. We take them to the playground every weekend so they can be outside. I talk to them and teach them.
Masks? Covid jabs? Over my dead body.
There’s not much I can do about the rest of the world. But I can fight to do my best by my boys at home.
We all have to protect our little patches and do so from the beginning of our children’s lives. We are the first and really only defense against a world that wants our progeny for themselves. We can not fail in our duty. And with God’s mercy and grace, we will prevail.
Great Stuff!
Neil is “ top drawer”
We kept our two boys away from the leftist scum.
Each of them has blessed us with a son, the older one went to the hospital earlier today with his pregnant wife.
The D.I.L Liver enzymes are extremely high, the baby was due in a few days, so mum has been induced.
A third grandson should be here soon.
Like you T.C. I will always fight, good thing for me my wife is tougher than me😉
Cheers!
Congratulations, Dekester!!! You’ll have your own personal Scots Guards if they keep this up. I am thrilled for you all. Prayers for that new bairn and his mum. Long life to you and yours! B🙏
Thank you!
Fingers crossed!
Cheers!
The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” – Abraham Lincoln
This is right on target from a leadership perspective. The big problem is that the self proclaimed elitists, send their kids to different schoolrooms from K all the way through university grad/law schools.
Those kids get a different, better, and more comprehensive college/university education with curricula that are targeted to business/legal/political governance.
Comparatively, what I have noticed in the business/retail world is this:
Once a product is available at an affordable price to the average middle and lower middle class person, it is a decline of sorts even though it is much less expensive. Ladies hair salons, manicure and nail salons are a good example. The best salons are still too expensive for the masses. Ipod, Ipad and Iphones are my favorite example having been unaffordable at their roll out.
Transfer this idea to “higher education”. There are so many on line colleges, it is pathetic, prices pushed almost to unaffordable, but not quiet. And there are many “schools of nursing” that fall into that category (because of projected shortages of nurses)–they will admit anybody.
Today, due to the student loan racket, more people than ever before are being admitted to first, second, third, and un-tiered colleges and universities, whether they are capable or not.
Does anyone here think that Ivy League undergrad curricula is like all the rest? One example of forward thinking at preferential universities: in the late 80’s early 90’s, the University of Chicago closed up shop for their nursing programs. Nursing has often been equated with lower class employees/participants. (Tell me again how ‘central long term planning does not exist?).
The schoolroom philosophy of the average child exposed to the satanists, will clamor and scream for whatever the politically social agenda of flavor of the future day is…in the unranked colleges, the extension of high school–with a different goal and curricula.
While schools and teachers clamor for LGBT etc and trans whatever…distracting from true education…
One prepares for ‘leaders’, the other prepares, beyond k-12, for sheep.
We need a hidden and infiltrated population, who like back during the 1850’s–taught the illiterate slave and slave children, to read and write–to teach the concepts of Ivy League doctrine and education.
Obsession with sexualization of children, prematurely ending their innocence has always been a trademark of half baked and unhealthy adults, satanic and luciferian cults being just a small part of it.
There are many politicians, elite, medical charlatans and government officials that need to be locked up for years and penalized tremendous sums of money. They should never be allowed to participate in polite society ever again.
See my post/response to DON up thread.
That second video with Tony Breslin is the perfect embodiment of the clueless academic. His entire argument seems to be “Some kids did poorly, some did well. We can’t paint everything with a broad brush. Mistakes were make. Let’s move on.”
For most of my adult life all government nonsense was pushed on us in the name of “the children”.
Now it was, “Screw the children! We need to protect Grandma!!”
Eleanor Roosevelt: “People will only do to you what you allow them to do.” The most frightening aspect of a so-called pandemic was the fact the majority of people (worldwide!) so willingly and quickly masked their faces, closed businesses, and remained in what was equivalent of solitary confinement. The corrupted power mongers knew if a society would so quickly obey an order to cover their faces with masks, they would most likely obey any order. Indeed, they did.
Will we recognize the next deception, motivation, end goal? And what’s the plan to expose both lies and truth? Is there enough resolve to remove Deceivers from their office, authority and job within 30 days? Your boss can.
