The Jed and Rachel Docudrama
Breathtaking: extending the psyop
A few weeks ago I, like millions of others, watched Mr Bates v The Post Office, ITV’s docu-drama about the Horizon scandal. I wrote at the time that I was slightly perplexed by the timing. Having worked in or around the IT industry for the last three decades I couldn’t quite understand why it had taken a major broadcaster so long to highlight the sheer evil and/or incompetence at the heart of the Post Office and Fujitsu - causing such heart-ache to so many hard-working and community-minded subpostmasters.
But then I got my answer.
Breathtaking is the story of (according to London’s Evening Standard) “a London hospital during the worst public health crisis in recent memory. From start to end, this three-part series is a litany of disasters – and though it lacks a clear call to action in the same way that Mr Bates does, it is no less infuriating to watch”.
There are many references in the media to the proximity of the broadcast to Mr Bates. In short, we’re expected to believe that a similar miscarriage of justice has taken place - that heroic NHS staff were duty-bound to save the nation from a health crisis - at huge personal risk - and that we owe them a big debt of gratitude. Presumably a big salary increase (lest they go on strike again).
Judging from the comments on the social media feeds of the people behind this fictional drama (Jed Mercurio and Rachel Clarke) this expectation fails. Despite both claiming to speak with authority on medical matters (having trained as doctors) there’s much reference (by social media commenters) to dancing doctor and nurse TikTok videos, abandoned Nightingale hospitals, and Midazolam/Ventilator murder regimens.
As Miri AF points out in this piece, Clarke’s career is remarkable. In fact it’s so remarkable that it’s questionable if any human being would be capable of it (or certainly not one sponsored by the Intelligence Service).
After Oxford, where she read PPE, Clarke became a super-successful journalist making documentaries about the Iraq War and Al Qaeda for the likes of Channel 4. But then she decides - despite being so successful - to pack in her media career and become a medical doctor and then write a memoir detailing her actual experiences during the “Covid” crisis - only to return to her former docu-maker life and buddy-up with Jed Mercurio (of Line of Duty fame) to make this shocking ITV flick.
Bob Moran’s response, however, shows just how much this piece of TV trash misses the mark: “the morally repugnant psychopaths who behaved in this way are portrayed as caring heroes, deserving of our respect and gratitude as they wail for more pay rises, and prepare to do it all again”.
As to what the call to action is, I’m still not sure. Clearly there will be a (shrinking) section of society that continues to accept the unending psyop that was (and is) Covid. But perhaps the intended response is to re-traumatise us - not to Covid but to the perverted nature of dystopian government and state control of the most intimate aspects of our lives and relationships.
Perhaps the next stage of the psyop is to show us, beyond any doubt, that we can’t depend on any institutions of the regime to question the directives from above - especially when such directives require them to lose the values we assumed medical practitioners were supposed to cherish: like empathy, compassion and humanity.
It is hard to credit that there is anyone who still adheres to the narrative and yet, here they are, bought and paid for, proud of it, ready to perform all over again. Still, for all their calculating viciousness and effort, they're saddled with the law of dwindling returns. Do they not understand that they're killing off their own audience, literally and figuratively? Who will be left to applaud them aside from their own vapid echoes of bathos? They will be ignored and then spurned. They have no memorable fate but deathly silence.
Written by murderes and played by murderes, it’s all an evil scam to kill half the population.
