Hey there! 👋 This is a detailed, chronological summary and explanation of the article titled "BREAKING: Midazolam Barrister in Dimmock Inquest James Bogle KC Breaks Silence". We'll walk through the key events, quotes, and findings, highlighting important points and making sure everything is easy to understand—even if you're not a medical or legal expert. Let's dive in!
The story opens with a bombshell: James Bogle KC, the barrister representing the family in the high-profile inquest into the death of Derek Dimmock at the Royal Trinity Hospice, has finally spoken out. This inquest is seen as potentially precedent-setting, meaning its outcome could influence future cases.
Bogle's main claim:
He suggests that the British state may have hastened the deaths of elderly people by putting them on "end of life pathways"—protocols that included giving them the sedative Midazolam and the opioid morphine, using the COVID-19 pandemic as a cover.
"The favoured way of shortening a life, let's put it that way, rather than putting it anymore controversially, is to use in combination morphine and Midazolam. Midazolam is a sedative and morphine is an opiate. Or morphine is used to eliminate pain and Midazolam is used to sedate you, ostensibly to calm you down. The combination of the two is a very effective way of shortening somebody's life. And what happens is, the doses go up and up and up, the patient dies and nobody really knows 'did he die from dehydration? Did he die from malnutrition? Did he die from his underlying condition? Or did he die from having an increased dose of morphine and Midazolam?' …This is why I said earlier, if you want to kill somebody, get a doctor or a nurse to do it, because it's very, very difficult to pin the blame on them. And the use of morphine and Midazolam as a regular feature of treatment of the terminally ill, of the sick, of the chronically sick and elderly in the NHS is now very common."
He even shares a personal story about his own mother, who was given these drugs despite not being in pain or agitated.
"I myself, with my own mother, when I went down to visit her in hospital, I said to the doctor, can I have a look at the medical, sorry, the drug chart? And the consultant said, 'well, why do you want to do it?' ..'I just would like to see it, if you don't mind'. Sure enough, she was being given morphine and Midazolam. And I had earlier said to the doctor, 'is she in pain?' 'No, she's not.' Well, is she... 'Is she thrashing about, or is she in any way requiring a sedative?' 'No.' And then when I went to the drug chart, there was morphine and Midazolam."
The podcast host, Peter McCormack, responds:
"Well, that sounds like malpractice."
Bogle agrees, but points out how easy it is for doctors to justify these actions:
"Oh, it does. But it's very easy to get around that. It's very easy for a doctor to say, 'well, we wanted to make sure she was comfortable. We wanted to make sure that she wasn't agitated. So we gave her Midazolam'."
Bogle's comments come as the Midazolam scandal is gaining international attention. Similar stories are emerging in the US, Canada, and Ireland, not just the UK.
Maajid Nawaz, host of the WARRIOR CREED podcast, summarizes:
"James Bogle, the barrister in the potentially precedent-setting medical inquest, is hinting there at the fact that his own opinion now may well be - he's not just doing his job here as a professional barrister saying, 'I'm going to make the case for the family' - he's hinting there in his clip that because his own personal experience with his mother, that his own opinion is also this, that the hospitals under the instruction of the health secretary at the time, Matt Hancock, were prematurely placing all of the elderly on end of life care pathways, regardless of whether or not they were diagnosed or not with COVID, because they were always able to place that on the death certificate afterwards."
He continues:
"That gave them the cover to prematurely place an entire bunch of elderly people onto the end of life care pathway, NG163, and to hasten their death using a combination of Midazolam and morphine. And the rest of this stream is going to be dedicated to why James Bogle is correct to be concerned about this on a personal level. And why he is now being vindicated because, not just as we've been covering from the early days on the Warrior Creed live stream, is the UK affected by this? But now new evidence has emerged, which we'll go into during the course of this live stream, that they have found exactly the same conclusions as Dr. Wilson Sy's Australia peer-reviewed research paper into the UK deaths. They found exactly the same conclusion in Canadian research. And it's being testified in Ireland that the same thing happened there too. And in addition, in the United States of America, which even made it to the Joe Rogan show. The Midazolam story has blown up. It's gone global."
As the scandal grows, the UK government under PM Keir Starmer has moved to decriminalize state-assisted death (euthanasia) and, in the same week, decriminalized full-term abortion. The article suggests these moves may be attempts to "sanitize" or legitimize the premature hastening of death.
"We warned about euthanasia being used to sanitise the premature hastening of death in our previous Radical Dispatch."
Dr. Mary Talley Bowden discussed on the Joe Rogan podcast a case where a young woman with Down syndrome was allegedly euthanized in a hospital under COVID protocols.
She says:
"There's actually a law suite today, that's first jury trial in the country over these hospital protocols, where they had a young woman with down syndrome they basically euthanised her. They gave her a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order even though she didn't have one... I have reviewed records from these hospital patients, and they'll euthanise them. They need the bed. They say, well, they're going to die anyway."
"Yeah. That happened all the... I'm sorry, but... I mean, that happened. People, they give them morphine and insulin...yeah, yeah."
"Yeah, yeah. I've reviewed charts. In this situation, they gave her a DNR, which is do not resuscitate, meaning if they look like they're dying, you don't do anything, which that was not the case. So they're suing for battery, which is one way of getting around the PREP Act, because the PREP Act is very hard to penetrate. The PREP Act protects everybody, all the doctors, all the hospitals, from any wrongdoing during COVID."
Canadian research and Dr. Wilson Sy's peer-reviewed analysis both conclude that the April 2020 death spike was not due to COVID-19, but was "iatrogenic" (caused by medical intervention).
The Canadian report states:
"Where excess mortality occurred, it was of institutional and iatrogenic origin, caused by mistreatment of frail and vulnerable people in hospitals and nursing homes. In plain English, people died because of the way they were treated, not because of a contagious virus."
Dr. Sy's paper:
"This paper shows that the UK spike in deaths, wrongly attributed to COVID-19 in April 2020, was not due to SARS-CoV-2 virus, which was largely absent, but was due to the widespread use of Midazolam injections which were statistically very highly correlated (coefficient over 90 percent) with excess deaths in all regions of England during 2020."
"Importantly, excess deaths remained elevated following mass vaccination in 2021, but were statistically uncorrelated to COVID injections, while remaining significantly correlated to Midazolam injections. The widespread and persistent use of Midazolam in UK suggests a possible policy of systemic euthanasia."
"The only thing that they were given was end-of-life care like 'Do Not Resuscitate' and they were, and they were given drugs like Midazolam. And I don't know if you know about Midazolam, and I don't know if the viewers…it's an end-of-life drug. It speeds up your death. It causes kidney failure. It's a horrific drug. Not only that but, it is a respiratory suppressant. So why would anybody give Midazolam to a patient that suppresses their respiratory system, when we are supposed to be in the midst of a respiratory crisis like COVID? It simply doesn't make sense."
The article systematically rules out other causes:
COVID-19 itself?
No, because the infection fatality rate was similar to flu, and the government had already declared COVID-19 was not a "high consequence infectious disease" as of March 2020.
Vaccines?
No, because vaccines were not rolled out in the UK until after April 2020.
So what was left?
The only thing that correlates with the excess deaths is the systemic administration of Midazolam and opioids under NHS end-of-life protocols (like NG163).
"As Dr Wilson Sy's peer reviewed statistical analysis demonstrates, the only intervention that correlates with the undisputed excess death from April 2020 - with over 90% co-efficiency - is the systemic administration of Midazolam injections plus an opioid by the state, using the NHS end of life protocols such as NHS protocol NG163."
New research published on the British Medical Journal palliative care webpage suggests that patients who die this way may suffer in pain while being paralyzed and unable to express it.
The article claims that the state deliberately blurred the cause of death on certificates, using "died with Covid" instead of "died of Covid" to cover up the real cause—Midazolam-induced deaths.
"Working out whether a death was due to COVID-19 or not is not a trivial task clinically... when somebody who's very frail dies, what they died of is difficult question."
This obfuscation was not unique to the UK; similar practices were reported in the US and elsewhere.
"They wrote a lot of people up for Midazolam and for diamorphine, and started giving it to some of the patients. Now, rather than trying to give fluids and, you know, food, because that's what most people need to sustain life, they didn't. They didn't bother. They basically, the ones that put TLC were written up for morphine and Midazolam, and then they overdosed them."
"It was formally a government decision. It was signed off by the Prime Minister. It was really driven by Simon Stevens, the chief executive of the NHS... although I did not take the decision, I take responsibility for it."
"A 'good death' needs three things. It needs equipment, it needs medication and it needs the staff to administer it... Do you have any precautions put in place to make sure we have enough of those medications to be delivered?"
"If ruled by the senior coroner as 'unlawful killing' in this precedent setting case, the United Kingdom will be rocked by the worst mass killing scandal in its history."
This article presents a shocking and controversial narrative: that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the UK and other countries may have systematically hastened the deaths of elderly people using Midazolam and morphine, and then covered it up by blaming COVID-19. The Dimmock inquest could be the turning point that brings these issues fully into the public eye.
If you want to dig deeper, the article provides links to research papers, podcasts, and parliamentary transcripts. The story is ongoing, and the next phase of the Dimmock inquest is set for August 2025.
