Menticide: Don’t Fall Victim to Mind Control Technologies & Techniques

 The US Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) mind control experiments, dating back to the 1950s, are well-known. Their MK-ULTRA experiments in sensory deprivation continue to be used on Guantánamo Bay captives. But until Ian Cobain’s book Cruel Britannia, few people knew that British psychologists had pioneered the use of sensory deprivation for mind control.

During WWII, Lord Swinton “pressed the Home Office for permission to open an MI5 interrogation centre,” codenamed Camp 020. Brightly lit for 24 hours, a resident doctor reportedly said that the Camp induced “mental atrophy and extreme loquacity” in its victims. A resident medical officer named Harold Dearden “dreamed up the regimes of starvation and of sleep and sensory deprivation.” The Camp was one of a number, including the MI19-run Combined Services Detailed Interrogation Centre, later renamed A19.

After the War, several individuals convened to share intelligence on mind control. They represented the Defence Research Policy Committee, the Joint Intelligence Bureau, the Canadian Defence Research Board, the CIA’s Research and Development Board, and the Psychology Unit at McGill University (Montreal). The latter was led by Donald Hebb.

The scientists referred to their psychological devastation techniques as “menticide.” Hebb subjected terrier puppies to prolonged isolation before trying it on consenting postgraduate students. The British and American governments and the CIA funded Hebb’s successors, including his former student Dr Maitland Baldwin. Baldwin found “that sensory deprivation would almost certainly cause irreparable psychological damage” in humans....<<<Read More>>>...

The Global Energy Collapse: How Trump’s War is Unleashing Famine, Fuel Rationing, and the End of Abundance

 I am watching the world unravel in real-time. From the empty diesel pumps in Sydney to the desperate lines for petrol in Manila, a chilling new reality is taking shape. This is not a temporary supply hiccup or a market fluctuation. In my view, we are witnessing the first, deliberate tremors of a global energy collapse -- an engineered crisis designed to shatter the foundations of modern abundance and force humanity into a state of controlled scarcity.  

Donald Trump, having won the 2024 election, now presides over a Republican-controlled Congress and a nation hurtling toward a self-inflicted catastrophe. His unprovoked war on Iran, a conflict I believe is being waged as a proxy for darker, more sinister masters, has severed the world’s most critical energy artery: the Strait of Hormuz. What flows from this rupture is not just crude oil or liquefied natural gas, but famine, rationing, and the systematic dismantling of the liberty that affordable energy provides. This is the story of how one man’ childish understanding of power, harnessed by a satanic ideology, is unleashing hell on Earth...<<<Read More>>>...

Is the UK meningitis “outbreak” diagnosing hangovers?

 Professor Martin Neil uses artificial intelligence (“AI”) to calculate the relative and absolute risk of meningitis, given the symptoms and test results.

AI “hallucinated” the supporting science papers and resisted Prof. Neil’s initial assertion. It “then completely backs my subsequent line of questioning and reasoning,” he said.  Bottom line is that there are 66 false positives for every true case, and about a 1 in 67 chance a student diagnosed as having meningitis actually has it.

Even more damning is: When asked, AI calculated that about 30% of students at the end of a weekend would be labelled as “suspected cases” of meningitis purely from hangovers, colds and background noise.

UK news has been chock full of scare stories about the meningitis “outbreak” in Kent, England, accompanied by the vaccination of students and with high-strength antibiotics handed out like sweets.

Being busy on other things, we’ve ignored it, but now news is coming out in the press that the “cases” are now being downgraded and are now “past their peak.”

Astute readers will, of course, have twigged that this whole panic has been confected from the start.

The parallels to covid are obvious, especially so when you take into account operation Pegasus, which ran in Kent in 2025 and was celebrated as the largest pandemic preparedness simulation in UK history.

Also relevant is that the reported epicentre of the outbreak is a nightclub called Chemistry in Canterbury, a University town in Kent. 

Peter McCollough has even claimed that this outbreak is evidence of a laboratory-leak. So, yet again we see the usual fear-mongering canards rearing their ugly heads ....<<<Read More>>>....


Death May Be a Misunderstanding — What Relativity Actually Says

 

Shock New Evidence Showing No Link Between CO2 and Temperature Over Last Three Million Years Stumps Net Zero Activists

 The climate science world (‘settled’ division) is in shock following the discovery in ancient ice cores that levels of carbon dioxide remained stable as the world plunged into an ice age around 2.7 million years ago. Levels of CO2 at around 250 parts per million (ppm) were said to be lower than often assumed with just a 20 ppm movement recorded for the following near three million-year period. In addition, no changes in methane levels were seen in the entire period. Massive decreases in temperature with occasional interglacial rises appear to have occurred without troubling ‘greenhouse’ gas levels, and this revelation has caused near panic in activist circles.

The assumed level three million years ago of CO2 was around 400 ppm, a convenient mark that has been used to explain the subsequent ice age and a drop to 250 ppm. Due to the recently published paper, this explanation has become more problematic and natural climate variation is correctly noted to have occurred with the temperature changes. Alas, similar explanations are mostly ignored in discussing today’s climate changes in the interests of promoting the Net Zero fantasy. Some cling desperately to a dominant CO2 role, including one of the authors of the findings published in Nature. The co-author states that the results suggest even greater climate sensitivity to the warming effect of CO2. In short, there is a great deal of applying the laws of physics and chemistry to one era, but failing to extend the same courtesy to another.The title of the paper, produced by 17 America-based scientists, was enough to set alarm bells ringing in the ‘settled’ science, Net Zero-obsessed community: ‘Broadly stable atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels over the past three million years.’ A related paper examining ocean heat content derived from the ice core record was also published. Carrie Lear, Professor of Past Climates and Earth System Changes at Cardiff University, claimed that the papers “don’t rewrite the role of CO2, they underline how sensitive the climate system is… that is why today’s rapid CO2 rise is so alarming”.

Ah, yes. Even if CO2 movements are minimal, probably within a margin of potential error, they are still responsible for large variations in temperature. The laws of climate science are ‘settled’ – if the trace atmospheric gas CO2 is rising, falling or generally stable, it is almost wholly responsible for large movements in global temperature. Under this rather shaky assumption, humans must stop burning hydrocarbons and return to a neo-Malthusian pre-industrial age...<<<Read More>>>...

The Decisions You Make

 Our lives are defined by the decisions we make each day. When we choose one option over another, whether we are selecting a restaurant or considering a cross-country move, we shape our lives. The decision-making process can be empowering, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of self-determination. Yet, it can also be a source of anxiety because decisions force us to face the possibility of dissatisfaction and inner conflict. As a result, many of us opt to avoid making decisions by allowing others to make them for us. We consequently turn our power over to spouses, relatives, friends, and colleagues, granting them the stewardship of our lives that is ours by right. Though the decisions we must make are often difficult, we grow more self-sufficient and secure each time we trust ourselves enough to choose. 

Ultimately, only you can know how the options before you will impact your daily life and your long-term well-being. Within you lies the power to competently weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each selection. Even if you feel incapable of making a decision, your inner wisdom and your intuitive mind will give you sound counsel if you have faith in yourself. Try to come to your own conclusions before seeking the guidance of others, and even then, treat their suggestions as supplementary information rather than votes to be tallied. Before making your choice, release your fear of wrong decisions. Perceived mistakes can lead you down wonderful and unexpected paths that expose you to life-changing insights. If you can let go of the notion that certain choices are utterly right while others are entirely wrong, you will be less tempted to invite others to take the reins of your destiny. 

When your choices are your own, you will be more likely to accept and be satisfied with the outcome of those choices. Your decisions will be a pure reflection of your desires, your creativity, your awareness, and your power. Since you understand that you must live with and take responsibility for your decisions, you will likely exercise great care when coming to conclusions. As you learn to make informed and autonomous choices, you will gain the freedom to consciously direct the flow of your life without interference. (Daily OM)

Study: Millions report illness from proximity to wireless radiation

 A new peer-reviewed study estimates over 26 million adults across the U.S., Australia, and Canada report health symptoms linked to wireless radiation exposure.

The condition, termed EMR Syndrome, shows significant overlap with other conditions like chemical sensitivity, asthma, and autism, suggesting a common inflammatory pathway.

Researchers warn that expanding wireless infrastructure, including 5G, may be contributing to the rising prevalence of reported sensitivity.

Historical parallels are drawn to the tobacco industry, with allegations that science on wireless radiation risks has been suppressed by influential corporate interests.

Experts advocate for a precautionary approach, recommending wired alternatives at home and greater public awareness of potential health impacts.

A groundbreaking international study has revealed that a significant portion of the adult population directly links their chronic health struggles to the invisible sea of wireless radiation. Published in Next Research, the analysis of nationally representative surveys from the United States, Australia, and Canada found that approximately one in eight U.S. adults report adverse health effects from exposure to devices like cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and cell towers. The findings, which estimate over 26 million affected adults across the three nations, arrive amid longstanding accusations from public health advocates that the science on electromagnetic field (EMF) risks has been systematically downplayed, drawing unsettling parallels to the tobacco industry’s past tactics of suppression and doubt....<<<Read More>>>....

Your ID Photos Will Power UK Facial Recognition System

The UK government’s recent digital ID consultation contains a detail that should have triggered far more alarm than it did. Ministers are proposing a national identity system built around a biometric image while openly stating that police facial recognition “may include access to biometric data held by government.”

That means this is not simply about a new app for proving your age or accessing services. It points towards a system in which photos already handed to the state for passports, visas, or other official purposes could help underpin both a national digital ID and a broader facial recognition framework. This development needs to be clearly understood.

The government is now signalling that existing biometric data will form its expanding surveillance architecture, and is no longer asking for trust in a future digital ID...<<<Read More>>>...

The Gigabit Broadband Rollout Shows How Government Wastes Our Money

 In 2019, a simple political promise was made: ‘Gigabit broadband for every home.’ It sounded like progress. It sounded modern. But as monthly internet bills creep toward £40 or £50, it’s time to ask: are we paying for a service we actually need, or are we funding a massive private equity ‘rent-trap’?

To modernise the UK’s phones, we had to move from old copper wires to digital fibre. The old system was rotting; the change was necessary. But there were two ways to do it:

The engineered way: run fibre cables to the green cabinets at the end of your street, then use existing wires for the last few yards into your house. This is fast enough for 4K TV, Zoom and gaming for 95% of users.

Cost: Roughly £100 per household.

The ‘gold-plated’ way: dig up every single driveway and garden in the UK to run a brand-new glass cable directly into every living room.

Cost: Roughly £1,700 per household.

By choosing the second option, the government turned a manageable £3 billion upgrade into a staggering £50 billion-plus mega-project.

What else could £54 billion buy?

We are currently living through a national debate about where our money goes. Recent reports have highlighted that the UK’s annual benefits bill increase is approximately £18 billion – a figure often used to show how much we could have spent on 15 advanced Royal Navy frigates or 220 fighter jets.

If £18 billion is considered a transformative sum for national defence, consider the £54 billion (combining public subsidies and private equity debt) being sunk into the Gigabit rollout. For the price of ‘full fibre’ to every remote cottage, we could have funded the entire Royal Navy’s modernisation three times over. Instead, that capital is being buried in trenches to provide speeds that most households find totally unnecessary....<<<Read More>>>...

How They Buried Tartaria With 432,000,000 Tons of Mud — The Mudflood

 

 
 
What explains how city after city — on continent after continent — has its first floor underground? Not one city. Not a regional anomaly. Paris. London. Moscow. Cairo. Philadelphia. Cincinnati. The same buried windows. The same subterranean ground floors. The same architectural vocabulary, appearing simultaneously, across civilizations that had no contact with one another. 
 
The standard explanation — gradual accumulation, centuries of sediment, slow urban rise — collapses when you examine what the architectural and photographic record actually shows. Buildings designed to be entered at grade, now requiring you to walk down. Ornamental cornices sitting at street level, built to be seen from outside. Grand civic structures attributed to horse carts and hand tools, constructed in twenty-year windows, in technical vocabularies that take generations to develop. 
 
As I investigated the deeper record — from the raising of Chicago to the buried vaults of St. Petersburg to the fires that erased and rebuilt city after city between 1850 and 1910 — a pattern emerged that I could not dismiss. Not parallel coincidences. Not bad timing. The same anomaly, resurfacing across continents, in cities with every incentive to preserve distinct and competing historical records. And the gaps in the archive cluster, with unsettling precision, around the exact moments where the most important questions should be answered. 
 
Because here's what the official narrative also does. It doesn't just explain the past. It may have sealed something beneath it. Tartaria — or whatever civilization left behind its architecture in our grand public buildings, its memory in every culture's flood narrative, its fingerprint in the uniformity of a civic aesthetic no single tradition can fully claim — was quietly placed just out of reach. Not destroyed outright. Not denied entirely. Just buried. First in mud. Then in the reconstruction. Then in the story we were handed instead. 
 
This investigation asks whether these cities were built in the nineteenth century — or buried by the mudflood, and inherited by the civilization that came after.

If the American People Were Told the Truth About What’s Coming, They Would Lose Their Minds

 I have been researching and writing about systemic failures for two decades, from Fukushima to our poisoned food supply, but I see a new, insidious parallel unfolding today. In 1986, Soviet authorities lied to the citizens of Pripyat about the Chernobyl disaster, telling them it was safe to board the buses for a 'temporary evacuation.' They were told everything was fine, even as invisible radiation was already destroying their bodies from within.

In my view, the same monstrous lie is being broadcast across America today. The corporate media, acting as a mouthpiece for the state, churns out a steady stream of 'good news' while the architecture of our society is crumbling. Just as those citizens boarded the bus, Americans are being lulled into a false sense of security, unaware of the radiation-like economic fallout headed our way. Our government, like the Soviet one, sees the people as expendable assets for its own geopolitical goals, a truth laid bare by the reckless, illegal war on Iran prosecuted without broad public support. The initial shock of that war is now fading into a fog of official reassurance, a deliberate strategy to keep the public passive.

Do not be fooled by the talk of military victories. The war is coming home, not as ordinance, but as a systemic, financial, and logistical collapse. They lie that 'Iran has nothing left' to conceal the imminent triggers: energy infrastructure attacks that could shatter global hydrocarbon supply chains. The strike on Iran's South Pars gas field wasn't just a military target; it was a strategic hit on the machinery that powers a nation's lights, heat, and factories.

In my view, the panic feared by the globalist controllers isn't over a battlefield loss, but over citizens realizing their banks, pantries, and gas tanks are about to fail. When the Strait of Hormuz -- the aorta of global energy -- is closed or threatened, the entire just-in-time economic model vaporizes. This isn't theory; it's logistical reality. The lie of 'everything is fine' is meant to prevent a run on banks and grocery stores until the moment control is irrevocably lost. They have no plan for the Hormuz humiliation, just as they had no real plan for the health of the citizens after Chernobyl. ....<<<Read More>>>...


British Gas Boss: Drill the North Sea to Bring Down Energy Prices

 The head of British Gas, Chris O’Shea, has become the latest industry figure to contradict Ed Miliband’s claim that drilling the North Sea won’t bring down energy prices by calling on the Government to do precisely that. The Telegraph has more.

The head of British Gas has called on the Government to drop its ban on exploiting untapped oil and gas fields in the North Sea, saying the move would help ease spiralling energy costs.

Chris O’Shea, the Chief Executive of Centrica, which owns British Gas, said an increase in drilling would play a role in efforts to bolster energy resilience after the Iran war sent prices surging.

He said: “I do think that we should look at producing the resources that we have got ourselves. It makes sense. If you’ve got resources, you should.

“It’s not a silver bullet; nothing in and of itself will fix this. But these activities will bring prices down. It would definitely make a difference.”

Asked if increasing North Sea flows would help to lower bills, O’Shea told the BBC it would be sufficient to “make a difference across Europe.”

He said exploiting remaining reserves should be part of a wider strategy that would also include bolstering emergency gas storage.

He said: “There is a need to focus on energy security. I think we need to look at getting more gas storage, we need to look at getting more home-grown renewables and more batteries.”

Centrica is no longer involved in drilling for oil but owns the Rough natural gas storage facility off the east coast of England, which, though largely operational after years of closure, is scheduled to be converted to hold hydrogen as part of Labour’s net zero push.

Mr O’Shea joins a growing chorus of experts calling on Labour to rethink its stance on the North Sea....<<<Read More>>>....

UK and EU’s ETS is a dishonest tax on electricity

 The analysis of emission taxes and trading in the electricity market is a classic example of how the simple analytical models of economic theory get misapplied.

Variants of the UK’s Emission Trading scheme (“ETS”), a carbon emission pricing scheme, have been adopted by many countries, including European countries, even though it is fundamentally flawed. The EU-ETS and now the UK-ETS are simply a shambolic and dishonest tax on electricity use, Gordon Hughes writes.

The analysis of emission taxes and trading in the electricity market is a classic example of how the simple analytical models of economic theory get misapplied when transferred to a setting for which the implicit assumptions are simply wrong.[1] The idea goes back to a brilliant economist who taught at Cambridge in the 1930s – A. C. Pigou. He suggested that certain kinds of damaging externalities – actions by one individual that affect the welfare of other people – could be dealt with by imposing corrective taxes (known as Pigouvian taxes) on the activities that give rise to the externalities.

In the case of environmental externalities, and in particular CO2, the standard theory suggests that a tax equal to the marginal damage per tonne of CO2 (“tCO2“) would reduce CO2 emissions in an efficient manner. Note that the theory does not refer to eliminating all emissions of CO2, just to balancing the external costs of emitting CO2 against the benefits of using coal or gas to generate electricity. This analysis gives rise to a large but very controversial literature focusing on calculating the “social cost of carbon,” i.e. the external damage per tCO2 emitted.

Estimates of the “social cost of carbon” tend to rely on the use of models that attempt to capture the interactions between economic and environmental variables looking forward to 2100 or 2200. The results are extremely sensitive to small variations in assumptions and have become extremely politicised. Estimates vary from $10 to $200 or more per tCO2. Anyone who reads the Wikipedia article on the “social cost of carbon” will get a clear sense that this is an area in which prior convictions outweigh all other considerations.

The standard theory implies that we should use an environmental tax – a fixed amount per tCO2 – to deal with environmental externalities. This argument was modified by Martin Weitzman, who pointed out that we might not have any good idea of the damage caused by an externality, but we might be willing to say that we want to reduce emissions by, say, 80%. In such a case, he argued that a permit trading system would be more efficient than a tax. The total number of permits issued would be equal to 20% of existing emissions and the price of traded permits would reveal the tax or penalty per tonne of emissions.....<<<Read More>>>.....

Lid Lifted on the Filthy Manufacturing Secrets Behind the ‘Clean’ Green Power Revolution

 The dirty manufacturing secrets behind the ‘clean’ green power revolution continue to pile up. As do the piles of filthy toxic waste growing across a China seemingly keen to supplant traditional energy and auto industries around the world at almost any price. 

The rare earth elements neodymium and praseodymium provide the best magnets for wind turbines and EVs, but they can arise from the ground at a fearful environmental cost.

A modern wind turbine can contain up to 600 kilos of neodymium that is used to make powerful permanent magnets (NdFeB – neodymium-ion-boron magnets). But the metal, along with the praseodymium also added in the magnets, is found in very low quantities in ore, and substantial extraction and refining is necessary using toxic acids, solvents and leaching ponds. 

To produce one tonne of the material, it is estimated that up to 12,000 m3 of waste gas is produced along with a tonne of chronic radioactive residue. Up to 2,000 tonnes of toxic waste including slurry tailings mixtures that can leak into ground water supplies are produced.....<<<Read More>>>....

Old World Mirrors Showed Something Different — The Dark Reason They Changed Everything

 

 
 
What did people once see in mirrors that made earlier generations treat them with such caution and symbolism? For centuries, mirrors were far more than decorative household objects. In many parts of the world they were rare, expensive, and often associated with superstition, ritual, and strange beliefs about reflection and the human image. Early mirrors were made using different glass techniques and reflective metals, producing images that sometimes looked darker, softer, or slightly distorted compared to the modern mirrors people are used to today. 
 
The common explanation is technological progress. As glassmaking improved through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, manufacturers developed new methods that produced clearer, brighter, and more uniform reflections. Silver-backed glass replaced older techniques that used polished metal or mercury-based coatings, and modern industrial processes standardized how mirrors were produced. 
 
But when historians and materials researchers examine older mirrors preserved in museums and historic buildings, they often find reflections that appear noticeably different from modern glass. The materials, chemical coatings, and manufacturing processes varied widely, sometimes creating reflections with unusual tones, depths, or distortions that people of the past interpreted in different ways. 
 
This investigation explores how mirrors were made in the past, why their reflections looked different from the mirrors used today, and how changes in glassmaking techniques gradually transformed one of the most ordinary objects found in every home.

Unlimited Thinking

 Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew.” A Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein’s scientific theories transformed the world’s understanding of the universe and its workings, so we can believe that these words come from his personal experience and helped him to explore both science and life itself. He offered us an example of what can be learned by looking deeply into nature to reach a deeper understanding of all life and by following our ideas to their logical conclusions in our minds before acting upon them in the world.

When we apply this quote to our lives, we can see that we cannot create abundance by staying in a consciousness of poverty, nor can we gain a sense of power in our lives while identifying ourselves as a victim. Situations begun from anger or fear have little chance of reaching a state of peace and trust unless someone involved can conceive of that possibility and act upon it. We need to find ways to step outside of our limited understanding in order to seek a bigger picture. One way to do this is to shift our perspective to see the situation from another’s point of view and ideally the perspective of all others involved. Even if we can’t truly know another’s motivations, by imagining what they might be, we open ourselves up to numerous possibilities and an expanded vision. This alone can shift our feelings of anger to compassion and the desire for a positive solution for all involved.

Once we have opened our mind to greater possibilities, we can connect to our higher self for inspired solutions. From the peace at our center, we gain distance from our emotions to connect to intuitive wisdom that offers us understanding of the underlying causes and the inspiration needed to guide our steps in a new direction. Albert Einstein showed us the impact that can be made when we raise our consciousness and allow ourselves to imagine the possibilities. (Daily OM)

Nature’s antidote: Ginger and peppermint emerge as powerful natural remedies for nausea

 Ginger and peppermint offer fast, effective relief for nausea without the drowsiness or side effects of synthetic drugs, as confirmed by clinical trials.

Ginger's gingerols and shogaols accelerate digestion and block nausea signals, while peppermint’s menthol relaxes stomach muscles, making them complementary remedies for different nausea triggers.

Ginger in capsule, tea or crystallized form prevents motion sickness and postoperative nausea, while peppermint (tea or enteric-coated oil) relieves bloating and stress-related nausea.

Beyond symptom relief, both herbs improve long-term gut health: Ginger enhances motility, peppermint eases spasms while dietary changes (fermented foods, reduced processed meals) prevent chronic nausea.

Centuries of traditional use now supported by clinical trials prove ginger and peppermint are safe, effective and holistic solutions overlooked by conventional medicine.

Nausea, whether from motion sickness, pregnancy, chemotherapy or digestive distress, is a universal yet poorly addressed problem in modern medicine. While pharmaceutical solutions often come with drowsiness, dizziness or other side effects, two common kitchen staples are proving their worth in clinical research. Recent studies confirm what traditional medicine has known for centuries: Ginger and peppermint offer fast, effective relief without the drawbacks of synthetic drugs. From post-surgery recovery to chemotherapy-induced nausea, ginger and peppermint are emerging as powerful natural alternatives backed by science...<<<Read More>>>...

Miliband’s North Sea Crackdown Seems More Senseless Than Ever

 As war in the Middle East sends energy prices soaring, Ed Miliband’s North Sea crackdown faces mounting criticism, even from his usual green allies, say Matt Oliver and Jonathan Leake in the Telegraph. Here’s an excerpt:

Ed Miliband and Donald Trump have never been political bedfellows. But on the North Sea, it is no longer just the American President who is at odds with the Energy Secretary.

As the war in the Middle East convulses global oil and gas markets, Labour’s crackdown on home-grown production is facing mounting opposition from all sides – including from people once sympathetic to Miliband’s Net Zero cause.

The Government’s ban on new drilling licences and its swingeing windfall tax have been blamed for crippling the UK’s domestic industry while also reducing tax revenues and pushing up carbon emissions.

It’s a self-inflicted blow that is now prompting opposition from surprising directions – leaving Miliband looking increasingly isolated.

Among those advocating a “drill, baby, drill” approach are not just Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader and Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, but also Sir Tony Blair, the former Labour Prime Minister – who has described the current position as “climate theatre”. …

In recent weeks, even green energy evangelists – such as the bosses of Octopus Energy and wind farm trade body RenewableUK – have backed greater North Sea production. …

The Energy Secretary insists that boosting domestic production is pointless because it cannot make a “material difference” and won’t bring down household energy bills. “Our reliance on fossil fuels is costing us,” he said in a recent interview.

Trump has attacked Britain’s strategy, saying the UK is making a “big mistake” by turning its back on the North Sea.

Yet at the heart of the debate are also questions about energy security, tax revenues, jobs and carbon emissions, issues that experts say have been relegated in the name of dogma.

After the outbreak of war in Iran plunged global energy supplies into chaos and with Britons facing up to the prospect of soaring household bills, Miliband’s personal crusade seems more destructive than ever.

About 75pc of the UK’s primary energy still comes from oil and gas (70 million tonnes of crude oil and 65 billion cubic metres of gas) and this will take time to undo, with most of the existing demand stemming from transport and gas heating.

But even if the UK gets close to Net Zero by 2035, it will still consume nearly 40 million tonnes of oil and 30 billion cubic metres of gas.

Yet one key difference will be where it comes from. Over the next decade, imports are expected to rise steadily as domestic North Sea drilling finally runs out of steam.

By 2035, a scenario sketched out by the National Energy System Operator suggests two fifths of our gas supplies will probably come from Norway....<<<Read More>>>...

Where Did They Take the Last Tartarians?

 

 

How did psychiatric institutions, orphan trains, and utopian communities appear simultaneously across every inhabited continent—from the United States to Australia, from Western Europe to South America—within the same narrow window of time, without the coordination we're told was impossible? From the admission records of American asylums to the architectural evidence of Kirkbride buildings, from the orphan trains of the Eastern Seaboard to the utopian colonies of the American interior, the genealogical and institutional evidence reveals erasures on a scale that official history cannot explain. 

As I examined asylum records, census data, and architectural timelines, a disturbing pattern emerged: the institutions were too sophisticated, appeared too suddenly, and filled too quickly to be explained by the official narrative. These weren't gradual humanitarian reforms or organic social developments—they were simultaneous, architecturally identical programs implemented across nations within decades, all targeting the same unspecified population, all following identical templates, all accompanied by a silence in the archival record that has since been systematically maintained. 

This investigation explores the institutional mystery of Tartarian heritage—the asylum system that may have been built to contain the last survivors, the orphan trains that erased children's names and origins, the architectural evidence of a civilization whose buildings still stand around us, and the questions that official narratives refuse to address. The deeper we examine the timing, the worldwide scope, and the deliberate gaps in the records, the more difficult it becomes to accept the explanation of humanitarian reform rather than calculated erasure.

UFO witness over Fukushima: “I believe they have come to save us”

 A new episode of Netflix’s UFO documentary series Encounters chronicles the sighting of unidentified objects above the Fukushima nuclear power plant after the accident.

On March 11, 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan became the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in human history. This was due to a strong earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which led to the failure of its electrical network.

These disasters destroyed much of the surrounding area, but one of the few major structures to survive was the Buddhist temple of Enmein, now called the “Temple of Miracle”. Its abbot, monk Tomonori Izumi, tells how he saw a UFO over Fukushima immediately after the accident: “The UFOs appeared after the explosion. There were so many of them. I was shocked. Radiation was leaking everywhere.

“I believe the UFOs came to regulate the flow of radiation to save us. At least that’s my theory. I don’t know if it was some kind of god or some powerful being in the UFO, but I believe that some invisible force really came to save us,” says Izumi in the episode “Encounters: Fires Over Fukushima” ....<<<Read More>>>...

Former Official Warns Canada MPs About Data Collection, Surveillance Risks in Chinese-Made EVs

 A former senior government official warned Canadian lawmakers that Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) imported into Canada pose surveillance and data collection risks, particularly for individuals critical of the Chinese government. Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa and an expert on China, testified before the House of Commons international trade committee on March 12, 2026.

McCuaig-Johnston stated that Chinese-made EVs are equipped with software from Chinese technology company Baidu, which collects vehicle information data and transmits it to China. She noted that these vehicles, expected to enter the Canadian market in large numbers, have capabilities including microphones, cameras, and location tracking. She told Canadian Members of Parliament (MPs) that "Chinese companies are required to spy on behalf of Chinese intelligence services if requested," adding that the situation poses a particular threat to critics of China....<<<Read More>>>...

Governments attempting to control “hate” is a hallmark of totalitarian regimes

 The Spanish government has launched a “hatred and polarisation footprint” to monitor social media users. Monitoring “hate” is one of the hallmarks of a totalitarian regime.

“The mix of moralism, technocracy and political power is itself the ‘footprint’ of a totalitarian movement in the making,” David Thunder writes.

A few weeks ago, the Prime Minister of Spain used the occasion of a “forum against hate” in Madrid to launch “HODIO,” a “hatred and polarisation footprint” created by the Spanish Observatory for Racism and Xenophobia and the Ministry for Inclusion, Social Security and Migration.

The goal of the new “hatred and polarisation footprint” is to create a public measure of the amount of hateful and polarising discourse occurring on social media platforms available in Spain and to use this measure, to quote Sánchez, to “demand responsibility” from the platforms for restricting the polarising “amplification” of hate speech.

In spite of the appearance of “science” and “objectivity” that the word “measurement” might suggest, there could be nothing more partisan and politically charged than the “HODIO” initiative, which effectively assigns to the national government of Spain the function of combatting “hatred” and “polarisation” on the internet – two terms that do not lend themselves to any clear and non-partisan interpretation...<<<Read More>>>....

UK Border Chief Quits After Failing to Curb Migrant Channel Crossings

The head of the UK’s border security command, Martin Hewitt, will step down at the end of March after failing to curb the surge in small boat Channel crossings, with nearly 60,000 making the journey on his watch. The Mail has more.

The Home Office confirmed Martin Hewitt would leave the post of border security commander after 18 months in the job.

Sir Keir Starmer appointed Hewitt, a former senior police officer, shortly after becoming Prime Minister – tasking him with curbing the number of small boats crossing the Channel.

Since his appointment in September 2024, crossings have continued at sky-high levels – with 58,910 people making the journey in that time.

His tenure also saw the second-highest annual total of people crossing the Channel, with 41,472 people arriving in the UK by small boat last year.

It is understood he will leave at the end of the month, with an interim replacement appointed “in due course”....<<<Read More>>>...

Cheating the Ferryman: A New Paradigm of Existence?

 What happens when we die? This is the ultimate question and one that we still have no real answer. From the first few moments that man became a self-aware being he has pondered upon this mystery.

Every culture has attempted an explanation, and it is reasonable to conclude that all religions exist to give an account of what happens at that moment and, more importantly, where does the person go after their body dies.

One of the most enduring myths is that of the Ancient Greeks. They believed that the recently dead would find themselves at the banks of a vast river, the River Styx. Out of the mists would appear Charon, the Ferryman. It was his job to ferry the soul, termed a “Shade,” across to the other side…. To the Land of the Dead.

But he did not do this for free. He needed a payment. The relatives of the recently dead person made sure the Shade could pay the ferryman. This payment was usually a small coin called an obolus. Depending upon the tradition, either this would be placed under the tongue of the corpse or two oboli would be placed over each eye.

This well known myth still resonates over three thousand years later. “To Pay The Ferryman” can still be heard today. However, there is a lesser known myth that suggests a deeper truth: The myth of the River Lethe....<<<Read More>>>...

Why They Demolished Every Hospital Built Before 1900

 

 

What explains how humanity abandoned an architectural healing tradition — buildings mathematically engineered for resonance, equipped with large bell systems tuned to frequencies now being rediscovered in acoustic medicine — and replaced it with a standardized, commercially driven medical infrastructure, without a single serious public reckoning about what that exchange actually cost us? 

The standard explanation — that modern medicine simply won out through scientific advancement and institutional logic — collapses when you examine what the infrastructure actually replaced: not a primitive or superstitious healing tradition, but a system apparently built around the relationship between the human body, sound frequency, and the designed environment. Buildings so acoustically deliberate that their bell systems corresponded to the exact tonal ranges now studied in experimental cellular therapy. Spaces engineered not to contain the sick, but to work on them. 

As I investigated the architectural record — from the undocumented foundations of pre-1900 hospitals across Europe to identical demolition patterns appearing simultaneously in South America, India, and Australia — a disturbing pattern materialized. These weren't parallel coincidences across unconnected cultures. They were the same underlying erasure, executed within the same thirty-year window, across every continent where this older infrastructure had taken root. And the bells came down with the buildings. Melted. Repurposed. Gone — with gaps in the archive that cluster, with unsettling precision, around the exact moments the new pharmaceutical system was being institutionalized.

No BBC, there is no “international gas price” – and yes, drilling in the North Sea would give the UK gas security

 There is no single “international gas price” as BBC journalist Fiona Bruce claimed. This is not the only dubious claim she made. She also claimed that UK natural gas would be “sold on the international markets” to “somewhere else” and so drilling in the North Sea wouldn’t make the UK more energy secure. Bruce is wrong on both accounts.

Currently, UK gas production is about half of UK gas consumption. The UK can increase its gas security by exploiting North Sea gas. North Sea gas is sold to the highest bidder with a pipeline connection, which is currently the UK. “The North Sea will always be our most secure supply,” Catherine McBride writes.

It makes economic sense, too. Drillers in the North Sea pay 40% tax on their profits. Drilling for North Sea gas would benefit the UK, as it would reduce reliance on imported gas, create jobs and generate tax revenue....<<<Read More>>>...

The Flash Has Hit: Why the Coming Energy Catastrophe Will Blindside the Oblivious Masses

 We are living in the flash-to-bang delay, and the silence is deafening. The recent, deliberate destruction of Qatar's critical natural gas infrastructure was the flash -- the economic detonation seen by those watching the geopolitical board. 

I believe this is the opening salvo in a coordinated campaign to dismantle the global energy system, and it has already happened. The public, however, remains oblivious, conditioned to see their food materialize on grocery shelves and their lights turn on with a flick of a switch, utterly disconnected from the brittle supply chains that make it all possible.

The bang -- the wave of cascading failures in food production, logistics, and power generation -- is now inevitable. This is not speculation or fear-mongering; it is the confirmed, unfolding physics of collapse. The first domino has been tipped. Such actions are strategic moves to seize energy resources and cut off adversaries, creating profound regional implications [1]. The chain reaction has begun, and we are merely counting the seconds until the shockwave hits Main Street.

The disconnect between the triggering event and its consequences is our greatest vulnerability, and it is why 99% of the population will be blindsided....<<<Read More>>>....

The Strait of Hormuz Crisis Shows the World Still Runs on Fossil Fuels

 The Strait of Hormuz is barely 21 miles wide at its narrowest point. Yet this narrow maritime corridor carries one of the greatest concentrations of economic risk on the planet. 

When tensions flare in the Persian Gulf, the reverberations travel far beyond the Middle East. They are felt in Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Manila — and ultimately across the entire global economy.

The reason is simple. Roughly one fifth of the world’s oil consumption and a similar share of global LNG trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the most critical energy marine chokepoint on Earth (Daily Sceptic)

Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got (Til It's Gone)

 

Surrendering Control

 Trying to maintain control in this life is a bit like trying to maintain control on a roller coaster. The ride is going to go its own way, regardless of how tightly you grip the bar. There is a thrill and a power in simply surrendering to the ride and fully feeling the ups and downs of it, letting the curves take you rather than fighting them. When you fight the ride, resisting what’s happening at every turn, your whole being becomes tense, and anxiety is your close companion. When you go with the ride, accepting what you cannot control, freedom and joy will inevitably arise.

It is not always easy to let go, even of the things we know we can’t control. Most of us feel a great discomfort when we realize we have no control over what happens. Sometimes this awareness comes only when we have a stark reminder, and all our attempts to be in control fail. We can cultivate awareness in ourselves gently, by simply making surrender a daily practice. At the end of our meditation, we can say, “I surrender to this life.” This simple mantra can be repeated throughout the day when we find ourselves gripping the safety bar of our own roller coaster.

We can give in to our fear and anxiety, or we can surrender to this great mystery with courage. When people ride a roller coaster, some have their faces tight with fear, and others smile broadly, with their hands in the air, riding on a wave of freedom and joy. This powerful image reminds us that often the only control we have is choosing how we are going to respond to the ride. (Daily OM)

The forgotten root vegetable that scientists say could fight cancer, diabetes, and heart disease

Turnips are ancient vegetables historically associated with poverty.

Modern science reveals they are nutritional powerhouses from root to leaf.

They contain cancer-fighting compounds and improve blood sugar and heart health.

The greens are exceptionally rich in vitamins and support bone and gut health.

They are versatile in cooking and deserve a place in modern diets.

For centuries, the humble turnip has been tossed aside, both literally and figuratively. Romans hurled them as insults, Dickens used the name as a slur, and they became a symbol of poverty in classic literature. But modern nutritional science is now forcing a dramatic reappraisal of this ancient root vegetable. Buried beneath its unassuming appearance lies a powerhouse of disease-fighting compounds, versatile culinary potential, and benefits that extend from its crisp root to its leafy green tops. It turns out our ancestors were sitting on a goldmine of nutrition and failed to recognize it.

This isn't just another health fad. Turnips are among the world's oldest cultivated vegetables, yet they remain tragically underutilized. The prejudice is deep-seated, rooted in "classical classism" where turnips were seen as second-class, poor people's food. This historical baggage has obscured the fact that both the turnip root and its greens are edible, safe to eat, and praised for their health-promoting effects....<<<Read More>>>...

Depopulation agenda marches forward: UK House of Lords passes legislation legalising DIY abortion up to and during birth

 On Wednesday, the UK House of Lords voted to approve a clause in the Crime and Policing Bill that removes criminal liability for women who self-induce abortions at any stage of pregnancy, including up to and during birth.

This decision, passed by 185 votes to 148, means that women in England and Wales will no longer face prosecution for performing their own abortions, regardless of gestational age or reason – such as sex-selective termination.

Clause 208 of the Crime and Policing Bill, originally introduced in the House of Commons by Labour Member of Parliament (“MP”) Tonia Antoniazzi, was debated in the Commons in June 2025 for only 46 minutes and passed with 379 MPs for and 137 MPs against.

The House of Lords’ vote on Wednesday followed a failed attempt by Baroness Rosa Monckton to remove the clause entirely. The change does not alter the current 24-week legal limit for abortion but eliminates criminal sanctions for self-induced terminations beyond that point.

Critics, including Christian groups and other pro-life groups like Right to Life and Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (“SPUC”), argue the Bill passed by the Lords undermines safeguards, increases risks to women’s health and could lead to more late-term abortions, including of viable babies....<<<Read More>>>...
