Victory in Europe - Story of a soldier.

16/11/2020

In the last week we just had Veterans Day in the USA and the Lest We Forget Armistice in the UK and all over the World to remember the fallen in the two World Wars. I finally got around to talking about my Dad's service in World War Two on an instagram link and you can see that by hitting this link. LestWeForget

                                                       Donald Fraser Sutherland, 1942

                                            

My father, Donald Fraser Sutherland joined the war early in 1938 because he believed that Hitler was dangerous and must be stopped at all costs. He joined the Territorial Army, signing with the Royal Artillery as a gunner in command of a 25 pound machine as part of their Anti-Tank Division. He was also in the famous Scottish regiment known as the glorious 51^st Highland Division.

Saint Valery, Normandie

But for the Highland Division the start of the war in 1940 was not a very happy one when they were defeated by the German General Rommel at Saint Valerie where many of the infantry of the division were taken prisoner for the whole duration of the war. My father was lucky in that it seemed as a member of the Royal Artillery HQ squad of the Division he failed to be captured in a position further from the infantry. As a result he was able to make his way back to British lines, then rejoin the Highland Division when it was reformed for the battle of El Alamien in North Africa.

Battle of El Alamein

Of the battle of El Alamein my father described the way he witnessed the many tank battles. He was particularly upset about one battle in which he saw the soldiers try to get out of the tank with no means but to die in a terrible state on fire. These events contributed to his shell shock which he still suffered from sometimes. However he was proud of the challenges he experienced as a gunner at the battle of El Alamein, which was the largest continuous bombardment of world war two. Once they loaded one set of gun shells they set them up again with no breaks creating a wall of bombshells against the Nazi army. It was a resounding victory for the British army, which changed the fate of the entire war in favour of the British allies.

Battle of Monte Casino, Italy 

After the North Africa campaign for which he got the Africa Star Medal, he went on to Sicily where he sent a postcard home, which we still have today. The rest of the Italian campaign was marred by his memory of the battle of Monte Cassino, where the bombardment of a Monastery on a hilltop, took 40,000 deaths. At this point in the war I think he felt that the command was not in touch with the difficulties there on the ground. However Montgomery was so impressed with the Highland Division that when Churchill wanted to move the war to Normandy, Montgomery said he would not go there without the Highland Division behind him. He wanted them to rest first after the Italian campaign and then support his plans to retake France.

Falaise Gap, Normandy

Finally Donnie went onto service in Normandy in 1944 when it must have been a joy to go back to Saint Valerie, this time as an act of Victory then Liberation. After that success he went on to the Falaise Gap, which turned out to be a very difficult battle for him because he gained a shrapnel wound in the neck while also contracting tuberculosis at the same time. There he was commended for staying at his post during friendly fire from the British RAF planes. He told the story about his army officer shouting to him during the bombing of the lines, saying' Sutherland will you bloody well get out of there now'. Confirmation that even the officers thought war could be very unfair at times.
He found the Falaise battle to be a test as a soldier so he wrote to the High Command to tell them, the positioning of the army was all wrong and had he believed, contributed to the high number of casualties there.

Victory March Berlin 1945

Due to his illness he was sad he did not make it to the Victory March of the Highland Division in Berlin but on his final discharge service card was written in bold letters 'Very Good' Service. He was discharged in the summer of 1945.

Dad had a hard war in that he took the brunt of the worst battles as a gunner loading the shells for every bombardment. Among the many events in his life, his war record remains, his biggest achievement and he is part of a rare group of men who survived all six military campaigns of world war two.

39,369 die in UK while doctors seek answers

Stark death figures in the UK of 39.369 this week prompt questions to those in power about how the virus can be stopped, when worldwide there are 389,109 deaths in a tsunami of cases amounting to 6,484,630  Over 6 million cases. The questions continue while the scientist talk tough and furious.

I thought I retain the article about the the mounting medical evidence from the angry and disappointed medical community, who are beginning to offer solutions to the crisis. One epidemiologist recommends a throat spray of a blood pressure reducing drug that could stop the virus keys from entering the lungs. Worth reading further to see what Will Thomson, the epidemiologist has to say about one way to curb the spread of the virus.

It all started 3 weeks ago when the brave New York ICU doctor Cameron Kyle Siddel made a video to catalogue his anger about being forced to put people on ventilators in the ICU where he worked when in fact what they needed was oxygen albeit in large amounts because the virus was starving the lungs of oxygen. His impassioned plea also inspired other doctors to speak out about what they saw as being a highly abnormal virus requiring unknown medical procedures. You can see his impassioned plea from his job as a saver of lives on the lung units of New York #CoVid19 at the link on the word here

I hope you took the time to hear the technical things he had to say and it certainly fits with the description I found about how the virus contains a bazaar Lex Luther type key on it's nodules which locks into the cells in the lungs creating a sequence that starves them of oxygen. The animation shows exactly how virus behaves here

Now that you figured out how the virus KEY works, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see, that this thing is far and beyond anything that nature could create because it's 'lock down keys' and nodules seem to be 'designer' as if they were created in a man made environment like a virology lab? (Rhetorical Question) Indeed enter the controversial Dr Rashid Battar who despite being very angry makes his point that something very very bad may have escaped from the virology lab in Wuhan. He puts the whole thing in context about how and why the lab ended up there. You can hear all about his opinions here It is not for me to agree with his conclusions but I put it up here so you can decide for yourself. ( What the hell is Chymeric Research!)

While this debate was mounting in the medical world, during astonishing death figures emerging to date today as over 2 million cases with 200,000 deaths world wide, shown here on worldometre, many other doctors are fearful that the whole discussion about the cures for the virus will get lost in the political debates that will be useless or aimless in steering the world to a medical solution to the vast and overwhelming problem of CoVid19.

In the meantime the Scottish epidemiologist Will Thomson has spoken out about his opinions on the virus, because he feels from his experience working on SARS CoVid 2 in 2003 in Taiwan, that there are some things that could be done right away to diminish the virus impact by simply locking out the way it's keys impact on the human body. In a video he posted on facebook this week he explains that one way the keys in the virus could be fooled is through using a drug that stops hyper tension or high blood pressure by administering it with to a spray in the throat. He came to this conclusion after studying the virus aspects to see what receptors might be blocking the oxygen flow in the way Cameron Kyle Sidell had described it all. Will thought the receptor blocking the lung's aveoli might be stopped at the throat before they might invade the lungs. You can see his conclusion on his facebook video here

He seems well meaning and his medical epidemiology credentials are world class so I think he has something to say that could be of use to politicians who are seeking a cure. In fact if he is right about the blood pressure pills blocking the virus keys, his ideas should be supported and given some research funding to sort it out. In speaking to him today I felt he was genuine and had the right stuff to manage a project to get  a cure. Not only did he work on SARS he also was the responsible epidemiologist who worked with the forestry commission to stop a other new biological virus killing the Ash trees in the UK. His second video continues to mirror the anger that many good doctors are feeling right now about CoVid19, and he seems to be offering solutions again here at his video.
At time of writing he also gave me further notes which I include here in quotes....
Will Thomson graduated in Ecology from Stirling uni in 1999 but specialised in Epidemiology towards the final year. His dissertation was on the Red grouse infection mystery..

He was in Taiwan when SARs occured, but he was not working as a scientist on the epidemic. He just witnessed the response in terms of culture/masks/fear/response..

I have added some of his comments in quote marks below...
''The spike protein key on Sarscov2 is rather, fascinating, however most data indicates it occurred naturally in the wild. Recombinat virus mutations occur frequently in nature especially in social or colonising animals such as bats. The Wuhan virology institute published widely to the world that it was discovering many coronovius variants in bat populations which had evolves spike proteins capable of infecting human cells and were warning the world that spill over into human were likely. Bats, cats and ferrets also have receptors similar to humans that can be infected by this particular spike protein key. Nearly all geneticists agree that it is very unlikely it was engineered.

Personally I find it very unlikely that a secret coronovirus 'bioweapon' was deliberately released in such close proximity to a Chinese virology lab known to create such viruses.
I am wholly inclined to believe that the virus arouse naturally or by accident, however its origins close to the virology lab leave me suspicious that it was a lab escape. These incidents/mistakes have been known to occur..

My theory regarding using hypertension blockers is not that they can be used (they block ace2 receptors as I understand it) only that no discussion or research appears to be investigating the idea that a specific drug could either be found or created that could block the ace2 receptor binding sites in human cells. Such a breakthrough could prove strategically vital in preventing asymptomatic spread and vulnerable or front line workers.

As far as the whistle blower doctor is concerned, I am rather furious that the specifics if the viruses mode of attachment and its specific damage is being treated like a mystery, when it should be apparent to any well trained medical staff what is occurring to explain what is occuring, and hospital/ventilator protocols be adapted as the doctor suggested.

I am seeing reports that the New York doctor has been removed from. Practice, and now further whistle blower reports that procedures in hospitals may be more damaging than beneficial. Secrecy is causing confusion and fear. ''

Above in quotes directly from researcher Will Thomson.

There are also other developments in epidemiology research which shows there are some encouraging loop holes in the virus ability to kill certain populations particularly those who were inoculated against previous tuberculosis pandemics, meaning that some countries who continued to have the vaccination programme may have less deaths and the generations who were exposed to the vaccine may be immune. The tuberculous vaccine was given heavily in the UK between 1930's up to the 80's then the programme was ceased but it could explain why some older people are not dying of CoVid19 as expected. The Asia Times takes up the research here
Such evidence means really that politicians should be re introducing the old TB vaccine right away because of its ability to train the immune system to overcome system keys.

There have also been other debates that have raged about the use of a tiny 3 percent of hydrogen peroxide mixture being added to lung nebulizers to kill the virus. However such a thing if done incorrectly could damage the lungs seriously so it would not be wise to do this without proper medical supervision and only if all else had failed. I do note that Vitamin C creates a tiny receptor that is converts into hydrogen peroxide in the body to kill germs, so would it not be safer to just use high doses of vitamin C instead??? (Rhetorical Question)

I hope you took the time to listen to all these guys videos to understand something is going on but what ever it is it is not going to get sorted out if the politicians ignore the very people who have the brains, qualifications and credentials to build the correct means to beat the virus.

The answers are out there somewhere if only the politicians had the will power to find them.

The Medicine Wheel within a Wheel on CoVid19

Conspiracy theorists aside the Medicine Men are getting angry.

This week since most people will be jaded, jaundiced and generally put off  by the vast and growing amount of deaths in the UK of over 20,000 to date which is included in the overall global figure of 200,000 deaths world wide, I thought I would look at the mounting medical evidence from the angry and disappointed medical community.

It all started 3 weeks ago when the brave New York ICU doctor Cameron Kyle Siddel made a video to catalogue his anger about being forced to put people on ventilators in the ICU where he worked when in fact what they needed was oxygen albeit in large amounts because the virus was starving the lungs of oxygen.

CoVid19 Pandemic Update 3 UK Death figures reach over 16,000

New figures released mid afternoon on Sunday 19 April 2020 shocked many who had hoped the UK Government could succeed in stopping the growth of the CoVid19 virus in the population. Figures released that Britain could be on the brink of a catastrophic health emergency with 16060 deaths reported, in the country. Observers warn that this may not reflect the true extent of the numbers infected with the virus, in that it is more likely  the figure would be 3 times that due to the way the virus spreads in blocks of 30 percent growth per day. In any one week the virus can spread up to 90 percent from the first day of the week's figure, meaning that in reality by the end of this week Britain could be facing deaths of up to 20,000 by next weekend if it does not succeed in breaking the cycle of severe and rapid transmission of the disease.

You can see the worldometer figures by clicking the word here

In Scotland, which has had 903 (overnight) deaths reported today, Sunday and you can see the daily report at the Scottish Government website Here   When these figures are added to the projected number of suspected death in care homes of around 220 it is likely there have been around 1100 deaths and it indicates that Scotland may loose the battle with the virus.  While Scotland may have a window of opportunity to stop the flow of deaths it is not clear that the authorities NHS and Government have the 'where, with, all' to effectively stamp out the growth factors of the virus in the NHS or the wider community. To date the Scottish government has failed to keep the growth rate down to the advised rate of under 30 percent growth per day.

In Scotland measures for the vulnerable who require to be shielded from the virus have been criticised because it has only deemed that around 200,000 people in a population of over 5 million will require food boxes and special assistance in their new scheme to assist those who can't get out to shop or leave their homes. Due to mounting pressure from lobbying bodies for the vulnerable who do not meet the supposed guidelines list for food shopping assistance a new helpline number has been set up in order to try to get this severely isolated group more help. The number is 0800 111 4000 and you can see the details on this BBC news report Here It is believed that many  people with chronic diseases will fall through the cracks in this provision which is being given to only  less than 15% of the vulnerable people in Scotland, whose chronic illnesses could jeopardise normal and fair living standards during the CoVid Crisis.

This week the debate about the causes of the virus extended to a controversial debate about who was to blame for the worldwide outbreak with many mooting for the first time that the characteristics of the virus which attacked the human immune system and lungs in such a virulent way that it may have been a product of a malicious laboratory research scheme from an unknown source. CNN suggested that the Chinese may have made errors in fully understanding the source of the disease in their country and the link to their report is Here

The debate this week also lead to comments from the Taiwan Chief Medical Officer who had raised the alarm as far back as December 2019 here

Doctors in the USA have also raised their concerns about the origins of the virus siting the work of hitherto unknown individuals and department who were in charge of USA medical research systems. While the basis of these claims is not clear yet, it raises the serious question that any such research should not be conducted by any country should it cause the threat of lab virus escaping into the general population. Trump's USA Medical Fixer Fauci has come under fire because of his department funded a CoVid19 Virus programme in China and maybe the source of the outbreak there and, you can read about this angle Here

Care of the sick and how to treat them has continues to put New York in crisis with the appearance of mass graves,  at a time when ventilators have in fact often killed victims when applied at the wrong stage.
At time of writing new information was brought to me about the New York Doctor Cameron Kyle Sidell's very important  opinion that treatment protocol should be oxygen not ventilators. You can see his impassioned plea from his job as a saver of lives on the lung units of New York #CoVid19 at the link on the word here
Since his report doctors have reviewed the use of ventilators in favour of oxygen in the first instance.

Sadly warnings from human rights advocates about the way dead bodies have been disposed in mass graves remains a cause for concern. Meanwhile President Trump pledges to get people back to work by introducing a phased withdrawal of the lockdown over the next few months despite the fact there have been over 40,000 deaths in America.

THE WEEK THAT WAS. CoVid19 10,000 deaths UK, 111,000 deaths Worldwide

12/04/20 Bulletin Number One CoVid19 Emergency Update 3
Over 10,000 death in the UK


In a week that was - the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland resigned and the Prime Minister won the battle against CoVid19 after being in intensive care for 3 days in hospital with a dedicated team of nurses I note they did not use a ventilator and you will see below why this is no longer advised for this disease according to a New York doctor. The Prime Minister made a heart felt thank you all the staff who watched over him in the London Hospital.

New figures released mid afternoon on Saturday 12 April 2020 shocked many who had hoped the UK Government could succeed in stopping the growth of the CoVid19 virus in the population. Figures released that Britain could be on the brink of a serious health emergency with 10,612 deaths reported, in the country. Observers including the World Health Organisation warm that this may not reflect the true extent of the numbers infected with the virus, in that it is more likely  the figure would be 3 times that due to the way the virus spreads in blocks of 30 percent growth per day. In any one week the virus can spread up to 90 percent from the first day of the week's figure, meaning that in reality by the end of this week Britain could be facing deaths of up to 20,000 by next weekend if it does not succeed in breaking the cycle of severe and rapid transmission of the disease.

You can see the worldometer figures by clicking the word here

In Scotland, which has had 495 plua 24 (overnight) deaths reported today, there is a better chance of stopping the growth of the deadly virus by isolating the rest of the community from those pools of people who have contracted the disease.  However concerns have been expressed about the fact that over 24 people died over night this weekend and this in fact indicates that Scotland may loose the battle with the virus. In it's current growth pattern CoVid19 could increase in Scotland in one week to as much as 3 times the stated figure of today meaning that within 3 days the figure could rise to 660 with a full measure of this growth being 1220 in 6 to 7 days. While Scotland may have a window of opportunity to stop the flow of deaths it is not clear that the authorities NHS and Government have the 'where, with, all' to effectively stamp out the growth factors of the virus in the NHS or the wider community. So far to date the Scottish government has succeeded to keep the growth rate down to the advised rate of 30% which seems part of the way the virus morphs in communities. In London the growth rate has slowed to under 30 percent indicating that lock down measures are beginning to slow the growth of the virus although this remains to be seen over the next week if these figures will hold in either England, Scotland or Wales.  With over 10,000 deaths since the beginning of April the virus seems not to be halting and in fact is spreading like wildfire.

In Scotland measures for the vulnerable who require to be shielded from the virus have been criticised because it has only deemed that around 200,000 people in a population of over 5 million will require food boxes and special assistance in their new scheme announced on a week last  Thursday to assist those who can't get out to shop or leave their homes. It is believed that many  people with chronic diseases will fall through the cracks in this provision which is being given to only  less than 15% of the vulnerable people in Scotland, whose chronic illnesses could jeopardise normal and fair living standards during the CoVid Crisis.

UK CoVid19 Virus Deaths rise to 4934

05/04/20 Bulletin Number One CoVid19 Emergency Update 2
(Added Doctor Cameron Kyle-Sidell's from NYC ICU statement on CoVid19)

Since time of writing the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland was reprimanded by the police for contravening the lock down by visiting her holiday home and she has subsequently been removed from representing the Scottish Government on Information Platforms, though some say she should resign for her actions.

New figures released mid afternoon on Saturday 4th April 2020 shocked many who had hoped the UK Government could succeed in stopping the growth of the CoVid19 virus in the population. Figures released that Britain could be on the brink of a serious health emergency with 4934 deaths reported, bringing them 1000 cases higher than the national total  in China of 3322 deaths to date.
Worldometer statistic compiler supported by the USA, John Hopkins University dept of epidemiology list the figures in the United Kingdom today as having only 41,903 cases in the country, but observers including the World Health Organisation warm that this may not reflect the true extent of the numbers infected with the virus, in that it is more likely  the figure would be 3 times that due to the way the virus spreads in blocks of 30 percent growth per day. In any one week the virus can spread up to 90 percent from the first day of the week's figure, meaning that in reality by the end of this week Britain could be facing deaths of up to 13,000 if it does not succeed in breaking the cycle of severe and rapid transmission of the disease.

Niall of Tara Pitch Teaser

A project in development that needs a kick in the pants, to get some attention, I made this pitch deck piece and it all looks good and makes sense.
