Joan of Snark is Still Alive & Unfunny

Joan of Snark is Still Alive & Unfunny

During an appearance on the Tonight Show in 1975, comedienne Joan Rivers was asked by host Johnny Carson if she thought men preferred brains or beauty as deciding attributes in their chosen marital partners. In her customarily irritating, sandpaper textured quack of a voice, Rivers quipped in reply, “Well, I’ll tell you Johnny, whenever a man sticks their hand up my dress, I know he’s not looking for a library card.”

Rivers’ notorious reputation as a lewd, abrasive, and foul-mouthed stand-up comic well preceded her, garnering glowing accolades from what were perceived as the highest pillars of authority, with New York Times television critic Jack Gould once declaring that Rivers was “quite possibly the most intuitively funny woman alive.” As to why anyone with a functioning frontal cortex would consider CIA-controlled NYT as America’s ultimate arbiter of taste is an enduring mystery. Nevertheless, by the time of her mid-1970’s appearance on Carson’s show, the frenzied comic’s career was already in the midst of a painfully incremental if not pathetic nosedive towards the entertainment business’s bargain basement of obscurity.

By 1990, her feminist-oriented diatribes and bruising man-hating monologues had been rendered passe. In essence, Rivers’ career as a bankable headlining comedienne was over. With a slew of dust collecting books lost and buried in the pulp pile and now forgotten roles in off-Broadway plays which became box office busts looming behind her like junk littered land fill, Rivers was finally relegated to hawking cheap trinkets on cable television’s QVC network. However, it is interesting to note that Rivers’ humiliating declivity happened to chronologically synchronize with the professional career resurrection of a former magazine model/movie actress hailing from a well-established Hollywood family who, up to that point, had starred in a seemingly never-ending series of cinematic commercial flops. Turns out, “Joan Rivers” was a professional pseudonym for this particular Hollywood/television actress who starred in both leading and supporting roles in such prime-time television hits as Murphy Brown and Boston Legal. Not only did this actress, the hidden face behind the public persona of Joan of Snark, maneuver from Hollywood’s big screen to television but she also has an intimate connection to the “late” Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

FUNNY FEMINIST

Soon after her ‘death’ in 2014, Time Magazine posthumously hailed Joan Rivers as a ‘feminist icon’. Given that Time was co-founded by Henry Luce, an agent of British intelligence and that the magazine was instrumental in executing CIA’s Operation Mockingbird which resulted in the agency’s full and complete control of the American mainstream media, it is possible to deduce that, from the beginning of her career, Rivers and her outrageous comedy act was purposely planted, effectively positioned to be used as an intelligence controlled instrument capable of distributing sociological propaganda messaging to influence the public’s perceptions, and even behaviors. Though the promotion of feminism has traditionally covered itself with an egalitarian fig leaf, that has merely acted as a subversive disguise to rather thinly cloak its genuine objective of seducing a housebound female population demographic out into the workplace so that the US corporate government could then significantly increase its federal tax base. After all, the feminist (Marxist) movement was a CIA operation. One of the movements best-known figures – Gloria Steinem (aka Ann Margaret/Janis Joplin/Amy Goodman) – was a CIA asset.

Not only was feminist Steinem a media-generated character scheme working for CIA, apparently too, was our Ms. Joan of Snark.

But wait – it gets worse.

Wikipedia admits that Rivers was caught perpetrating certain fabrications concerning her personal biography, fabrications which were reported, printed as gospel by the Washington Post – yet another CIA Mockingbird media organ. Publishing lies about Rivers was the least of WP’s sins. Washington Post was also responsible for leaking the bogus Pentagon Papers, an operation covertly and cooperatively executed by CIA, Ford Foundation, one of the agency’s longtime financial conduits, and Rand Corporation along with Rand’s former employee, Daniel Ellsberg.

SEE: https://ronaldthomaswest.com/2016/08/05/pentagon-papers-cia-and-the-lies-of-daniel-ellsberg

CIA handed the faked Pentagon Papers over to WP to draw the public’s attention away from the agency’s expansive narcotics trafficking activities in Southeast Asia and away from the agency’s responsibility for and control over America’s Vietnam War policies. Deborah Davis’s book, Katharine the Great, which explores and exposes the far-reaching extent of CIA’s Operation Mockingbird and the agency’s use of the Washington Post as nothing more than a propaganda mouthpiece, quotes a CIA agent who had regular meetings with the Post’s Phillip Graham as having said that journalists were cheaper to buy than call girls and prostitutes.

SEE: https://nickbryantnyc.com/blog/f/the-washington-post-and-the-cia-a-love-story-1

“Rivers repeatedly said, and it was reported by The Washington Post,” Wikipedia reports, “that she graduated summa cum laude and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa; however, biographers James Spada and Leslie Bennetts found that these were fabrications, as with other assertions that she shared a lesbian kiss in a play with Barbara Streisand (they did both appear in a play called Driftwood but were never on stage at the same time).”

New York City’s Barnard College, the institution of higher learning Rivers was alleged to have graduated from, is affiliated with Columbia University, where CIA is documented as having conducted mind control experiments on unwitting students with the help and cooperation of both tenured professors and faculty.

SEE: https://archive.org/details/cia-readingroom-document-cia-rdp88-01315r000200170007-1/mode/1up

Over the decades, CIA has funded numerous and various intelligence related programs at Columbia University. In other words, Columbia has always been an infested snake nest crawling with fork tongued spooks.

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1980/4/26/cia-funded-programs-at-columbia-pnew/

We also shouldn’t forget that Columbia University was responsible for helping to create the American political phenomenon known as “Barack Obama”, yet another media-generated character scheme portrayed by one of Rivers’ colleagues in the professional entertainment business, Jerry Seinfeld (aka Osama bin Laden), who also became known as a famous stand-up/television comic. Though during his presidential campaign, the MSM trumpeted Obama’s academic accomplishments as a budding legal scholar while at Columbia, alas, as the article at the link posted below points out, there has never been any tangible documented evidence produced to even suggest the former U.S. president ever matriculated there or, for that matter, ever stepped foot on Columbia’s campus.

SEE: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2013/01/10/john-brennan-the-cia-zibgnew-brezinski-columbia-university-and-obama/

Furthermore, the building of the campus for Rivers’ alleged alma mater, Columbia-affiliated Barnard College, was financed by Elizabeth Millbank Anderson, a wealthy philanthropist who was also the largest donor to Clifford Rees’s National Committee for Mental Hygiene. The term ‘Mental Hygiene’ is just another euphemism for eugenics (population reduction).

SEE: https://www.cchrint.org/2025/09/12/involuntary-commitment-americas-eugenics-past-repackaged-as-mental-health-care/

One guesses this is why the daring, oh so brave ‘feminist icon’ Joan of Snark never dared to put any jokes about CIA into her act.

ENDOSCOPY MEANT THE END

‘Official’ MSM sources report that Rivers died at the age of 81. Apply the law of occult mirrored reversal to that number and you get 18, 3 6’s or 666. MSM sources claim that on August 28, 2014, during a routine endoscopy medical procedure, Rivers suffered a cardiac arrest and that, though the presiding physicians were able to resuscitate her, she died one week later. Add the one week (seven days) to the date of the comedienne’s memorial service (seventh day of September) and the year of Rivers’ death (2014/2+1+4=7), and you’ve got Alistair Crowley’s Kabbalistic joker intelligence code, 3 7’s or 777. Rivers’ ‘death’ was tantamount to a staged psych melodrama, a grand performance of occult alchemy; the fantastical idea (777) transformed into material reality (666) with the public’s unquestioning belief in the mythical story serving as the magical ingredient to successfully perform the media sorcerer’s trick.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s office which was alleged to have performed Rivers’ autopsy announced that the ‘official’ cause of death was brain damage due to lack of oxygen. Given that Rivers ‘died’ on the 4th of September and her body had already been cremated in time for her memorial service three days later, this sounds like complete and utter twaddle. Autopsies are typically performed within twenty-four to forty-eight hours after pronouncement of death, preliminary results from which are obtained and can be released in two to four days while full results can take up to as much as six weeks of preparation.

Though the MSM also claims that an undisclosed, but substantial multi-million-dollar settlement was reached resulting from a medical malpractice lawsuit, it is more likely that Rivers’ faked death scenario represented a Hollywood styled insurance scam. A documentary filmed just before Rivers’ death made no secret that the comedienne could not get bookings anywhere and therefore it seems probable, she planned to use the money from the ill-gotten settlement to maintain her lavish lifestyle while living under another assumed identity. As observed in other faked death scenarios involving Hollywood celebrities – David Bowie, River Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Paul Walker, SEE: Duncan the Death Hoax Director – Rivers’ body was cremated, with the cremation process having taken place at Garden State Crematorium in North Bergen, New Jersey.

Bergen, you say?

Well, turns out, that was a huge clue as to the identity of the hidden Hollywood actress and former magazine cover model behind the portrayal of “Joan Rivers”. Further research into the surname of Bergen led to the discovery that the Bergen family can be traced back to the early 17th century, when both the Bergen and Hoagland families were tied in marriage – Dirck Jansen Hoagland to Annetie Bergen – in New Amsterdam (New York City) which established a lineage spreading to both New Jersey and to Pennsylvania. Wouldn’t you know it – not only did the Hollywood actress hidden behind the modified face of “Joan Rivers” attend the University of Pennsylvania, but she also attended acting classes at HB Studios in New York’s Greenwich Village at around the same period of time during the mid-1960’s when Joan Rivers was performing in Greenwich Village night clubs developing her comedy act.

Coincidence? Not a chance.

Hidden Agendas Behind Bedford UK Train Crash Story

Hidden Agendas Behind Bedford UK Train Crash Story

There are certain news stories, though unbidden, that sidle forth and then stand before you as if refusing to be ignored while mocking one’s delicate sensibilities like some piece of badly conceived modern art sculpture; towering, unsightly, and grotesque. The nature of the recent Bedford UK train crash story – an emergency preparedness/mass casualty simulation drill sold as reality, replete with egregious narrative and pictorial contradictions, numerous examples of occult symbology, and some of the worst amateurish acting ever caught on camera from the participating principals involved – seems to fit this characterization most aptly.

MISMATCHING PHOTO DEPICTIONS

“A train driver has died, and 89 people injured after two trains collided in the Bedford area, with emergency services working into the night,” reports an article published by UK periodical The Guardian, dated June 19.

SEE: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jun/19/two-trains-collide-bedford

“Of those injured,” The Guardian further informs, “11 people suffered very serious injuries and 22 were seriously injured, East of England ambulance service said, while a further 56 people had minor injuries and were treated at the scene or taken to hospital.”

Each of the numbers appearing in the first paragraphs of The Guardian’s article composed by no less than three journalists listed in the byline are examples of masonic/occult symbolism and numerological coding. Eleven is symbolic of the masonic pillars of Boaz and Jachin and 22 represents the number of a masonic master builder, while the number of 56 is equivalent to the English Ordinal Reduction cipher of ‘Society of Jesus’ (Jesuit Order).

The pair of preceding photos appear along with The Guardian’s June 19 article. Although the impression given by their positioning in relation to the article is that they are both accurate pictorial depictions of Bedford’s recent train crash scene, their respective content appears to be widely contradictory. In the first photo, there exist more examples of occult/masonic symbolisms. Notice the downward pointing triangle, an occult/alchemical water sign symbolic of the divine feminine and that within the triangle is the number of 5 (with the zero dropped) which represents the pentagram, a magical talisman utilized in the practice of witchcraft. Notice too, the pair of figures in the foreground donned in orange suits. The English Ordinal Reduction cipher of ‘orange’ is 33, equivalent to the highest degree of Scottish Rite freemasonry. The bright orange lights visible in the photograph are solar-oriented symbols of freemasonic illumination, representing the decalcification of the pineal gland or third eye. In the second photo, the trains are noticeably colored purple, a color associated with that of royalty. Also, the passengers who’ve debarked from the collided trains seen in the second photo’s foreground don’t appear to have suffered any apparent or serious injuries and one of them appears to be nonchalantly lounging in the field as if he were getting a tan at the beach or perhaps attending a picnic outing. According to mainstream news sources, the location of the crash occurred near what is known as the Elstow rail exchange. The proper noun of Elstow is an anagram of sorts, containing a pair of words with telltale occult significances – owl, and Set. The owl is the guardian of the occult depths; a divine messenger often associated with the ancient Greek goddess Athena while Set is the ancient Egyptian god of storms, chaos, and disorder.

Therefore, is there a hidden message to be uncovered with this particular news story?

Recently, there have been reports that a stock market crash, partially indicated by Space X’s IPO failure, is looming.

But that’s not exactly news.

Anyone with the capability of keen observation can see that, for decades now, the stock market has been nothing more than a freewheeling casino filled with speculators, grifters, and conmen.

One thing’s for sure.

Additional pictures found online of the train driver – Shaun Burton – alleged to have died upon the train collision’s immediate impact, don’t match up. The first photo in succession posted below was found in association with a LinkedIn account, depicting a Shaun Burton employed by East Midlands Railway, the company cited by The Guardian and other mainstream news sources as having been involved in the June 19 railway incident. There’s just one problem. The Shaun Burton at LinkedIn doesn’t appear to be the East Midlands Railway train operator belonging to the same name – younger, different ears, nose, and chin from the man featured in the second and third photos – that mainstream news sources have been featuring and informing the public died on June 19.

Further investigation into the two principal victims of this alleged railway accident who’ve been heavily featured by the MSM revealed that there certainly were hidden agendas behind this Beford train crash story: 1.) to publicize and to improve the image of the NHS (Britain’s National Health Service) and 2.) to provide free advertising for Extinction Rebellion, often referred to as XR for short, the multi-national Marxist eco activist group filled with legions of cognitively impaired academics, pseudo-intellectuals and legions of the youthful, the impressionable, moronic drug fueled hooligans, agent provocateurs, and useful imbeciles, all of whom are quite incapable of figuring out their movement is being funded by the very Big Oil corporations and other commercial interests that they’re rebelling against.

NHS – secretly controlled by Serco which also owns and controls the U.S. patent office – has every interest in continuing to work towards improving its public image after having criminally administered lethal doses of Midazolam to elderly patients diagnosed with “Covid-19”.

A NOT SO GOOD ACTRESS

JoAnne Good, a former actress, BBC television/radio presenter, and alleged train crash victim, who, according to The Guardian, suffered four broken facial bones, has appeared in the wake of Bedford’s train incident as a rather loquacious mouthpiece in praise of NHS and their emergency response effectiveness along with Imperial College professor Doctor Peter Knapp. While Knapp appears in The Guardian’s June 19 article testifying as both a crash victim and a prime witness to Bedford’s train collision, what the periodical utterly failed to report is that the professor is also an activist connected to Extinction Rebellion, the radical protest organization which, for several years, he’s utilized as an effective vehicle to publicly air his egalitarian but rather delusional if not insane schoolboy politics.

Below: BBC television presenter and Bedford train accident ‘victim’ JoAnne Good

Before getting to the problems with Knapp’s testimony published in The Guardian and his association with Extinction Rebellion, there are also a few issues regarding the BBC’s JoAnne Good which must be considered. Good has two Wikipedia pages with varying dates of birth. One Wikipedia page says Jo Good is a British radio broadcaster born in November of 1978 while Wikipedia also has another page for a JoAnne Good that says she was born in January of 1955. Despite appearing as different people with similar names, there remains a surprising commonality between them. Both pages at Wikipedia were found to have entries which mention Good’s involvement with Bedford’s train accident on June 19 detailing the debilitating facial injuries which she allegedly suffered. However, the entry about the Bedford train derailment at the former page in association with Jo Good born in 1978 has since been suspiciously deleted. As usual, however, one stayed a step ahead of Wikipedia’s CIA trained goons and took the liberty to gather what amounts to incriminating evidence in the form of several screenshots. Wikipedia lists Jo Good as a former MTV (masonic music television) video jockey and JoAnne’s employer at present, BBC, is an organ of British intelligence. Notice that, as evidenced by the text observed in the succession of screenshots posted below, while Wikipedia has both Jo and JoAnne as victims of Bedford’s train crash, JoAnne Good was married to Richard Piper in 1978, the same year as the DOB Wikipedia has listed for Jo Good. That’s some serious voodoo. Either that or Wikipedia’s Ivy league CIA boys have just been caught with their tailored trousers down. Though I’ve never been a gambler, I’m laying a bet on the latter. Not so good for someone who’s about to get fired over there at Langley.

JoAnne Good has a video on her channel at You Tube that was uploaded a mere one day after The Guardian claims she suffered four broken facial bones during the June 19 Bedford crash. According to professional medical consensus, bone fractures take at least six to twelve weeks to substantially heal and that such injuries would exist as a painful deterrent to any attempts at effective vocal communication. As evidenced by her performance in the video, the four facial bones which were alleged to have been fractured during her train accident on the day before don’t at all appear to be an inhibiting factor. In addition to getting the impression that one’s brain cells were melting while listening to JoAnne ramble rather incoherently about her moony eyed adoration for the NHS and her supposed train crash experience, one couldn’t also help but increasingly notice that, as the video proceeded, despite suffering from broken facial bones, JoAnne doesn’t appear hampered by any signs of emotional or physical trauma, is talking quite normally and without any discernable pain. At one point in the video, despite her allegedly unforgettable traumatic experience, JoAnne seems to forget – “Um, when was it?” she mutters, a bit confused – on what exact day the train accident at Bedford actually took place. Everyone can see the screenshotted closed-caption text accompanying her video narration immediately below. One would have included the entire video but upon further consideration wanted to instead spare everyone the considerable pain of listening to this fumbling scatterbrained former Z-grade television soap opera/movie actress badly mangle her lines.

In the preceding photo which comes courtesy of The Guardian, that UK news rag posing itself as a bastion of truthful journalism, JoAnne Good can be seen in the foreground displaying some masonic symbolism in the form of the Eye of Horus. Notice also that her apparel is colored red, a color symbolic of the ancient Roman god of war, Mars. Good gives a rather interesting testimony regarding her train crash experience to bbc.com – SEE: https://bbc.com/news/articles/cp8rpn75gmgo – while, perhaps not surprisingly, likening Bedford’s train crash scene to a movie set.

“In a movie, there’s always screaming and high drama,” Good told bbc.com. “There wasn’t any. It was silent actually, people in the deepest shock.” The nature of Good’s testimony stands in sharp contrast to that of Doctor Pete Knapp, who was quoted by The Guardian’s article of June 19 as having stated, “A lot of people {were} screaming and crying.”

Which of these contradictory reports as to the behavior of the passengers in reaction to this supposed train crash are to be believed?

How about neither one.

Sounds as if the director of this train crash movie – as BBC’s JoAnne Good so eloquently put it – forgot to coordinate the scripts of its two main characters cast in leading roles.

The editor-in-chief of The Guardian is Katharine Sophie Viner who, during her youth according to Wikipedia, was an activist member of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, a protest organization whose president was British aristocrat, Fabian Socialist, and noted public intellectual, Lord Betrand Russell. As has been established in previous articles, nuclear weapons are scientifically infeasible and have been used as a geopolitical tool of global psychological warfare to engender fear among populations. A fellow of Britain’s prestigious Royal Society, Russell was an earlier example of what is now known as a controlled opposition agent and or influencer, cast in whatever dialectical role his handlers in British intelligence thought was necessary to better manage public opinion. While serving as president of CND, in 1960, Russel established Committee of 100, a civil disobedience movement which became a template for Extinction Rebellion’s Committee of 94. Lord Russell’s position on the issue of nuclear disarmament proved quite changeable, however. Prior to accepting the presidency of CND and founding Committee of 100, when he began posturing himself as peace activist, Lord Russell had publicly taken a rather hawkish stance, advocating for a preemptive nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, an opinion which was published in the 1946 issue of Bulletin for Atomic Scientists (vol. 2 issue 7-8). In a tome published in 1952, entitled The Impact of Science in Society, Russell outlined the important role of mass psychological warfare and propaganda in influencing and ultimately controlling public opinion. Russell’s candid tone in the following passage excerpted from his book is not only relevant to the methods of subtle psychological conditioning observed in the Guardian’s article of June 19 in relation to Bedford’s mass casualty drill simulation but, in the overall sense, also opens a profound vista of understanding into the methodological process of mass persuasion which has been repeatedly used by the MSM.

“{Mass Psychology’s} importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called ‘education.’ Religion plays a part, though a diminished one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part. What is essential in mass psychology is the art of persuasion. If you compare a speech of Hitler’s with a speech of (say) Edmund Burke, you will see what strides have been made in the art since the eighteenth century. What went wrong formerly was that people had read in books that man is a rational animal and framed their arguments on this hypothesis. It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is privileged by the State with money and equipment.”

Is it any wonder to discover then that Doctor Peter Knapp, a major figure in the Extinction Rebellion movement who appears in The Guardian’s June 19 article as an alleged key witness (aka crisis actor) to Bedford’s train crash, got his PhD at Leeds University in psychology and sociology on a grant from ESRC (Economic Council for Social Research) which specializes in funding research into the social sciences, an area of academic study co-founded by Max Weber and Karl Marx, and that he currently sits on the board of Center for Health and Population Science, the latter term of which is nothing more than a pompous academician’s cute euphemism for eugenics and depopulation?

DOCTOR PETE RUDELY AWAKENED FROM CAT KNAPP

Look closely at Emma Volney, a television reporter for ITV news dispatched to the scene of Bedford’s alleged train crash, featured in the following succession of screenshots. Her hands are oddly positioned in the formulation of a diamond, a masonic-oriented symbol which equals thirty-three in Pythagorean gematria. The double pyramid-like positioning of Emma’s hands also happens to resemble the nature of the official logo representing Doctor Peter Knapp’s organization, Extinction Rebellion. The royal house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha covertly helps to fund XR through fronts such as Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Bloomberg Philanthropies, both of which are on record as having donated money to XR through ECF (European Climate Foundation). Billionaire Michael Bloomberg is a media generated character fabrication portrayed by Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester – SEE: The Dishonorable Duke of Tel-Aviv – who is also the hidden face behind Israel’s Benjemin Netanyahu while John D. Rockefeller, the late grand patriarch of the Rockefeller family and Standard Oil kingpin – SEE: Superman’s Mysterious Murder/Suicide Case Solved & Duncan the Death Hoax Director – existed as an historical fabrication who was portrayed by Belgium’s King Albert I, also of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Paul Gates, an NHS representative photographed at the crash scene reading his scripted lines for the television cameras, was awarded a British Empire Medal at King Charlie III’s birthday bash celebration three days prior to his appearance in Bedford at this train crash farce. During his press conference, one of Gates’s colleagues’ thanks ‘blue-light partners’, an official term describing multi-agency response/participation, a procedure common to UK train crash simulation drills coordinated by Network Rail which is confirmed by the information captured in one of the following screen shots posted below.

During her ‘live’ report from the “train crash” scene, ITV’s Emma Volney mentions the number of ‘walking wounded’ being ushered away on the street adjacent to where she is seen standing and taken to hospital for treatment. Alas, as she says this, ITV’s video doesn’t bother to show any evidence of such victims. One supposes we’re just going to have to take Emma at her word. Not that she would lie to us or anything. What Emma fails to report is that, as seen in the screenshot excerpted from AI overview posted immediately below, ‘walking wounded’ is an official term referring to the live actors participating in UK train crash simulation drills which have been routinely conducted, coordinated by Network Rail.

According to an article at felixonline.co.uk, Doctor Peter Knapp, along with nine other Extinction Rebellion protestors, was arrested for criminal negligence on April 13, 2022. Professor Pete and his fellow XR provocateurs were charged with defacing the walls of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Building with chalk spray and gluing themselves to the windows, charges from which, a year later upon appeal, Knapp was exonerated.

“I know I can’t individually do a great change that needs doing but we are at the sharp edge of getting a change to happen,” Knapp said, commenting on his organization’s goals, “If I were to step back,” Knapp went on, “that sharp edge might be slightly less sharp. It’s hard to know.”

In addition to sounding as if he’s enamored with his own sense of self-importance, it also sounds as if Doc Pete might be having regrets or even doubts that his juvenile efforts are having the world-shaking effect his radical organization intended. Maybe that’s why he chose to be cast as a role-playing witness in Bedford’s simulated train crash drill, figuring a safely managed and better staged scenario might be a more suitable vehicle in order to gain greater public sympathy for his organization’s message. Or perhaps Professor Pete was just tired of being made to look ridiculous while getting arrested for gluing his hands to the windows of government buildings. Whatever the reason, Professor Pete manages to look just as ridiculous here because it seems this delusional doc just can’t get his story straight.

For example, in the nineteenth of June’s Guardian article, Pete claims to have suffered injuries to his legs, shins, and back.

“My two shins have got gouges in them from the chair in front,” Knapp is quoted as having told The Guardian. “I’ve got blood all over my trousers and my back hurts like hell but I’m all right,” the doc saw fit to add.

And yet, in a video included with an ITV news social media post, Pete doesn’t mention anything about his leg injuries or his back, instead claiming that he injured his head after smashing it on a train seat. Seems this is one doc who must have failed basic anatomy class. Either that, or he’s a bald-faced liar or just a two-bit amateur actor who can’t remember his lines. Probably both. While the close-caption screen shot of the video confirms Pete’s claim about his head hitting the seat, notice too that the ubiquitous masonic marker of thirty-three features prominently in ITV news’s post.

Further confirmation of Knapp’s environmental activism in association with Extinction Rebellion exists at https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/232881/becoming-environmental-activist-qa-with-host/. In the final analysis, Professor Pete should reconsider his future in the acting business because it isn’t likely the British public will ever get to see him creeping onto the stage at the Old Vic cast in the leading role of Shakespeare’s Hamlet anytime soon. How’s that for tragedy – huh Pete?
