Needless to say, many of Gumshoe’s 2020 articles had to do with Covid, the lockdown and vaccination. Then there were startling developments in the US presidential election. I’ll get to that below. First, to the year-end roundup of book reviews, obituaries, and “Mary’s travels” (some of which, you may suspect, are carried out simply to furnish material for the year-end wrap-ups!).
Book Reviews
I reviewed Tom Muller’s book Crisis of Conscience, on whistleblowers, and Elias Davidsson’s America’s Betrayal Confirmed, on 9-11. Based on a sad notice from John Curnow, who lost his wife to Lyme Disease, I got a hold of Kris Newby’s Bitten and summarized it. Lionel Tiger’s Men in Groups, written 50 years ago, proved to be a trove in regard to the issue of men in secret societies.
Tatu Vanhanen’s book on democracy – 40 years old – gave insight into the fact that the sharing of political power depends on wide distribution of knowledge and of property. I also reviewed, slightly, Robert Dreyfuss’ Hostage to Koumeni, which says the US was the power behind the Ayatollah’s 1979 Revolution in Iran.
James Perloff pieced together quickly a refutation of the pandemic heist in his book Covid-19. Klaus Schwab, of all people, came out with a book on the Great Reset, co-authored by Thierry Malleret. Elana Freeland produced a prize-worthy compilation of data in Under an Ionized Sky.
Having not followed EO Wilson’s career during recent years I was startled to find he had written two more knockouts – Genesis (2015), and The Origins of Creativity (2019), so I’ve begun a review series of them.
As for Andrew Urban’s Murder by the Prosecution (the Sue Neill Fraser case in Hobart), I won’t be able to cover it by December 31, but I highly recommend it! Gumshoe gave a favorable review to Shane Dowling’s two books that are primal screams against the Oz judiciary.
Obituaries
We had to send off a fine French historian, Robert Faurisson, followed, unexpectedly by our dear Fredrick Toben. I wonder if both were “investigatable deaths” — given those thoughtful men’s unspokenness about the 1940s. News of the death of Judge Juan Torruella was a disappointment. He had voted to get Jahar Tsarnaev off of Death Row.
We also said Goodbye, sweet dreams, to our Gumshoe contributor Don Wreford, a glassblower from the UK. I recall him once saying, in response to our yelling about child abuse, that for a lonely lad to have a man companion was not entirely to be despised….
The death that killed it for me was the uncalled-for execution of Nate Woods in Alabama. There was nothing to justify it. “Black Lives Matter” should cast its eyes on that issue. Wow.
In September, my friend Trish Fotheringham, a leader in the torture-survivor community, told me she was going to go the assisted suicide route in Canada. This did not happen, though, and she died naturally – by closing her eyes – in December. Note: she has promised to do things for us when she reaches “the other side.”
Trips and Activities
My only trips during Covid were to a Trump, Jr, rally in upper NH, and to a lecture in Manhattan on the Great Barrington Declaration. Plus a recent trip to Boston, in the nick of time before the Massachusetts gates closed.
The mission of that Beantown trip was to do some distributing of my book The Soul of Boston and the Marathon Bombing. I wore a sandwich sign that said “Ask me about Tsarnaev,” but about 85% of passersby on Boylston St were staring into their cell phones. Whatever happened to perambulating while NOT looking at your cell phone?
Oh, another activity of mine was running for the Republican nomination in the February presidential primary right here in the snows of New Hampshire. It was an extreme honor — you should try it. The registration fee was only 50 bucks. Trump got 129,000 votes and I got 925.
The Comments Section
I am sorry if I was too much of the schoolmarm in monitoring the comments. All contributions are admired and appreciated. Some persons are particularly generous with links: Julius, Arlyn, Truth Vigilante, and Crisscross. Simon’s English is coming up excellently.
Deb Hendry sent me the wonderful Craig Murray stuff during Assange’s disgraceful hearing in London. (In fact, there’s never a leaf nor blade too mean for Deb to notice, if it supports our Wikileaks compatriot. It is she who directs me to local USA rallies for Assange, including the one I went to last week with megaphone lady.)
Muzikmonkey Cherri Bonney, who sings in a nightclub in Perth, is the only Aussie Gumshoer awake at the right time (her 2am, my 11pm) for an evening chat. She mainly tips me off as to the latest medical critiques of the pandemic – herself being a licensed herbalist.
Rachel Vaughan, who keeps us informed of police issues, not to say tunnel issues, wrote an article for us on – wait for it – good cops. Yes, there are plenty of good cops, and wouldn’t it be nice if they would band together against the bullies.
Mal, Berry, Fair, Faithful Ned, and the Regulars keep Gumshoe going. Diane drops the occasional bomb. Terry told us how to grow trees. Fish shows us good music from Korea. Excuse me for not naming everyone, such as newbie Famanda. I wish more commenters would provide their name, rank, and serial number. That said, Commenter “56” has broken records with wisdom-delivery this year.
Covid and the Lockdown
You don’t really want to hear about Covid again, do you? My book Grass Court (available for download from the Books page at top of Gumshoe’s menu) covers the criminal aspects of the whole psy-op.
Felicity Hingston came in with a shocker article about Bill Gates’ involvement in the education scene such as “Common Purpose” in the UK, which is like the horrible Common Core curriculum in the US. Gates’ ego knows no bounds. Gil Ray produced so far four original articles on the climate. James O’Neill gave us many schoolins about Australia’s unnecessary kowtowing.
Dee, RWA and Kim covered the Ivermectin cure, and the hydroxychloroquine issue. That withholding of medication may prove the undoing of the Bozos. On the other hand, since when did the exposing of murder or manslaughter by The Protected Class ever have any consequences?
Um. Don’t forget my article entitled “The Committee of 23,” by which I mean Go form your own Grand Jury, what the hell are you waiting for, the Fairy Godmother?
New Friends
Having seen Shaun Attwood give a TED talk, and also debate in the Oxford Union, I started to watch his Youtube vids, which led me to other souls who try to stop child-trafficking, namely, John Wedger (a London cop), Sonia Poulton (a journalist), Wilfred Wong (ret barrister), and survivors, Maria Farmer and Anneke Lucas of Belgium.
We made “new friends” in regard to Covid. Namely, Dr Sucharit Bhakdi from Germany, Robert F Kennedy, Jr, head of Children’s Health Defense, Peggy Hall, a housewife in California’s Orange County, Serene Teffaha, an attorney at Advocate Me, in Melbourne.
Claire Edwards, the lady who received a report from French army officers, about the planned misuse of 5G, got in touch to assure us of her credentials.
Thanks to a local anti-war panel by then-candidate Tulsi Gabbard, I got to meet Harvard law professor, Lawrence Lessig. I can send his book on “net neutrality” to any tech-savvy person who’d be willing to review it for Gumshoe. (It is over my head, but Lessig’s Free Culture is within my grasp and is marvelous.)
Politically I became aware, in 2020, of some strong gals — Justice Amy Barrett, law professor Zephyr Teachout (author of Corruption in America), and attorney Sidney Powell (author of Licensed To Lie). As I myself, a dissident, am of the female species, I have long considered that it is easier for us to speak out than it is for males.
The Frankfurt Affair
Around December 3, 2020, we picked up the hush-hush news that the recently Trump-pardoned Michael Flynn had organized a Kraken invasion of a CIA office in Germany. As well he should. I then did a series called “After Frankfurt,” outlining the possibilities of a legal response, including secession as suggested by Texas’s governor Alan West. (Other series this year included one on “Don’t Steal Children” and one on “Buttar and Mikovits”)
On December 14 – ominously the day the Electoral College met – our valued covert contributor, G5, zinged us with “Manchurian Candidate Coup.” The plan, he says, is for a threat of martial law to begin on January 7, 2021, if all the accused don’t say “Sorry.” Following that date, they will be marched to Honduras to receive the Last Rites.
Related to this is the phenomenal growth of censorship in the media. I think it could toll the knell of parting day for GumshoeNews.com, and thus I am publishing this yearly wrap-up a bit early. Much thanks to y’all for your love and your help during 2020 and indeed since December 2013. Admiration and affection, as ever, to Her Bossness, Dee McLachlan, founder and editor of this unique website (who is constantly working out of sight to rescue children).
Canberra to take Peiping to the WTO
Dee and Mary – just WOW and THANK YOU.
Merry Christmas
And congratulations to JP and Amber Sears on the arrival of their new son last Saturday.
Seven-oh! Seven-oh! [to the Sears]
Vietnamese music is a bit discordant as the language is a ‘tonal’ language. It is almost impossible to match the voice to the music. The Chinese character language was converted to the Roman characters in 1900. The different signs you see over the letters gives the proper inflection for the character.
That song about Christmas was one of the better renditions (for my ear) of Vietnamese music that I have heard.
Thankyou Mary , I have enjoyed all your articles, to say I haven’t become wiser would be an understatement.
Thanks also to Dee, for hosting this platform, and for the wonderful articles also.
And to the collective all others, thanks for the comment section, I read each and everyone.
MM thank you for what you do. We are grateful for the words that you write. Keep on doing what ya is doin’
And to you Dee, your fabulous also, stay strong and keep smiling, we WILL win! Cheers
Cherri
Dear Mary,
You are a institution that does not seem to sleep, whilst the world snoozes.
Merry Christmas.
Ned.
Its been great, Mary, the house of cards is falling, lets all keep the good work strong for whats about to come in 2021, it wont be pretty! Happy New Year every body!
Cherri
Your tireless effort helps keep us sane Mary.
Thank you!!
All other contributors, I read almost every article and I am far better educated as a result.
This forum is a breath of fresh air.
And Dee, you are a bright light in a very dark world.
Merry Xmas to all 🙂
Now, bring on 2021 and the inevitable fall of the cabal!!
Mary Dee and all gumshoes,
Thankyou for keeping it real, in times of 5G global insanity.
Thankyou Mary for letting me post – “If you wish to know who rules over you, find out who it is you are not allowed to criticise”.
“Jubber” Gates Says We Should Be Prepared for Life to Not Return to Normal “Even Through 2022”
Hey guys, if we all take the shots, keep our masks up, stop working, and stay away from loved ones, we might get out of this all by 2023!

JABBERWOCKY by Lewis Carroll
From “Jews, Jurats And The Jury Wall: A Name In Context” page 123 – “….In York, the street name Jubbergate, recorded as Jubrettegate as early as 1287, derives from Middle English Jewe:…….” [gate is an ancient name for street. A synagogue stood on Jubbergate]
“…Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The fruminous Bandersnatch!”

13 Jewish Symbols to Know – Essentials – Chabad

Eagles are also not uncommon on synagogue accoutrements, such as the silver crowns … Even in exile, the Jews maintained these symbols of their homeland..
“Mirror writing” Hebrew is read from right to left.
………..In an early scene in which she first encounters the chess piece characters White King and White Queen, Alice finds a book written in a seemingly unintelligible language. Realizing that she is travelling through an inverted world, she recognises that the verses on the pages are written in mirror-writing. She holds a mirror to one of the poems and reads the reflected verse of “Jabberwocky”. She finds the nonsense verse as puzzling as the odd land she has passed into, later revealed as a dreamscape.[1]
Criss X, in relation to this statement of yours ‘ “If you wish to know who rules over you, find out who it is you are not allowed to criticise”, I keep being bombarded with assertions that China rules over us.
Surely then, we wouldn’t be allowed to criticise them. After all, the judiciary, the politicians, the media which the Chinese must be in control of, would SHUT down any criticism of them.
We’d be in gaol for making anti-SINOmetic remarks, wouldn’t we ?
Now Gumshoe readers, is that world we live in ?
Or is there some other entity that has the inordinate power to stop us dead in our tracks.
The Mead of Poetry – Norse Mythology
In essence, the art of good poetry is a gift given to true poets [writers] and scholars who have been invited to sip from the magical mead dispensed by Odin. Here is one version of the story of how Odin acquired the Mead of Poetry.
https://norse-mythology.org/tales/the-mead-of-poetry/
Here, Odin is returning with the mead to the Gods’ fortress, chased by Suttung the Giant. ‘Midgard’ is the world where humans live:
“When the gods spied their leader approaching with Suttung close behind him, they set out several vessels at the rim of their fortress. Odin reached the abode of his fellow gods before Suttung could catch him, and the giant retreated in anguish. As Odin came to the containers, he regurgitated the mead into them. As he did so, however, a few drops fell from his beak to Midgard, the world of humankind, below. These drops are the source of the abilities of all bad and mediocre poets and scholars.
But the true poets and scholars are those to whom Odin dispenses his mead personally and with care.”
In another version, the drops which are the source of bad poetry [writing] come not from the spilling of regurgitated mead but from Odin’s wet fart.
Mary you are obviously blessed with a personal dispensation of the Mead of Poetry. In fact, I would dare say you are hoarding a vat of it [“Mary of the Mead”]. As for myself (and others) I can’t help thinking of Odin’s wet fart whenever I try and put words to paper.
Ulysses And His Odyssey Unravelling The Symbols Of The ocCULTS

Thanks Crisscross – looks interesting – saved
I just finished reading “Norse Mythology” by Neil Gaiman and am casually part way through books on “Japanese Fairy Tales” (translated by Yei Theodora Ozaki) and “Chinese Myths and Folk Tales” (compilation by Barnes & Noble 2020)
The Norse ones are particularly violent – a lot of wheeling, dealing, trickery and vengeance (always Loki’s fault) – and the apocalyptic end of the world is ugly. I was surprised to find how fanciful the Japanese and Chinese ones are, but they tend to more often convey a message of penalty for wrongdoing and reward for good behaviour or repentance.
Some myths are so fanciful that people just dismiss them as quaint but entertaining, and yet may find a message in them.
Some myths are so fanciful that people believe every f**king word and guide their lives by them – no matter how sinister – and no matter how many other lives they have to destroy.
Julius, you live in South Australia? Go to McLaren Vale and get some Maxwell Mead. (No relation.)
And thanks for the compliment but, of the two of us, ’tis you that has a poetic bent. I am just a machine. Truly. I’m not even flesh and blood. I am a Mac Airbook.
Okay – I’m back with my Maxwell Mead. Let’s see how this works …
“His Mama was always the one
With wisdom second to none
“Now off to the store
I’m in need of some more
So run, Forrest, run my son”
[some time later …]
But Mama, why you lookin’ so glum?
I got what you wanted, then some
I’ve been to the Rockies
Got boxes of choccies …
“No son, I said Rum, Forrest … RUM!”
Very funny.
No doubt Mama issued the order for more rum at the height of the Covid lockdown – as a coping mechanism for her sky high anxiety levels (induced by the manufactured alarmism from her benevolent government during this contrived pandemic).
I just tracked down Neil Gaiman’s actual passage on the Mead myth …
“When the all-father [that’s Odin] in eagle form [that’s why he had a beak] had almost reached the vats, with Suttung immediately behind him, Odin blew some of the mead out of his behind, a splattery wet fart of foul-smelling mead right in Suttung’s face, blinding the giant and throwing him off Odin’s trail.
No one, then or now, wanted to drink the mead that came out of Odin’s ass. But whenever you hear bad poets declaiming their bad poetry, filled with foolish similes and ugly rhymes, you will know which of the meads they have tasted.”
So stay away from foolish similes and ugly rhymes, K?
Here’s one, but maybe you have to be from Boston to get it:
There was once a lady named Troll
Whose sense of humor was thought very droll.
At a masquerade party,
Her costume was arty,
She backed in as a Parker House roll.
Warning of possible internet shutdowns
…………….On December 14, there was a solar eclipse that cut across the Patagonia region of Argentina and Chile. Patagonia means “end of the world.” Coming at the midpoint between the two other eclipses (2017 and 2024), I find this to be significant.
We are now coming to the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn on December 21, another watch date dating back to 1981 and 1982. Jupiter in Hebrew is Zedek (“righteousness”); Saturn is about Satan. It seems to indicate an important conflict where Jupiter overthrows Saturn.
Be watchful.

Dear Crisscross, you thanked me for letting you post. Better thank Dee. I do not even have the password for Gumshoe website. And Dee did not grow up in Praetoria for nothing. She will not censor until, as I have mentioned, the offending party sends 220 comments in one article.
What you mean is, thank someone for letting you blame the Jews for our world. I suppose they could be to blame. Since I do not know who is doing it, I can’t very well clam to be sure who isn’t doing it.
I have an ontological problem with the concept of “the Jews” — (or of “the Dems,” these days). For a group to act together, they have to agree (selfishly) to pursue a cause. For me, the cause of Ersatz Israel is a joke. Yet I suppose Cecil Rhodes’ concept of British empire did attract a following.
My own slanted research identified disparate demons. In 2005, I entered the world of MK-Ultra and have not yet worked out how so many doctors and others got to be sadistic. Diane has taught me that the Ringleader is Tavistock. Is it a Jewish thing? I doubt it, but Rabbi Antelman blames the Jews.
Personally I also had to follow the Rockefeller’s capers re the takeover of medicine circa 1913 (for my book Consder the Lilies). Was John D, son of the oilman, who founded the CDC and the World Council of Churches and the CFR, etc, motivated by something in the Old Testament? If you think so, please explain. Show me how Nelson R got up in the morning to please Yahweh.
Crisscross, why did you choose that pseudonym? I mean, are we supposed to read something into it? Do you think any of the occult beliefs have real merit? Come on, put it all on the table. Why not? — the night is young. And everyone else can reply. Maybe we will establish that Bill Gates is Jewish.
“Since I do not know who is doing it, I can’t very well clam to be sure who isn’t doing it.”
As being deceived, duped, tricked, betrayed, cheated, ripped off, targeted, bullied, etc, etc can only stick if you respond in a certain way
And the respective perpetrators would otherwise be powerless
What difference does it make?
I love being Catholic:
