It’s another wet and windy day in the free speech nation.

 In the last couple of weeks we have had NHS surgeons suspended and arrested for posts on social media, we’ve had lads imprisoned for posting memes, military veterans banned from coaching their own daughters football team after social media posts, and now a former international footballer has received a suspended prison sentence for photoshopping a pair of tv presenter’s faces onto the bodies of serial killers Fred and Rose West.

Phew.

Thank goodness the great British justice system is here to protect the people of this country, by throwing the book at folks… for hurty words and memes.

Don’t panic though, the UK hasn’t gone full draconian hellscape, and just started imprisoning everyone.

Sex offenders and paedophiles are still free to roam the streets. We’re not North Korea, y’know!?

Of course this crack down is multi-layered.

It’s about silencing free speech, and normalising prison time for offending people, and what this does in the end, is create a situation where you no longer have to silence free speech or impose prison time for offending people, because people will simply silence themselves through the fear of facing prison time if they don’t.

The sheep becomes their very own sheep dog, and if my goal was to destroy the nation unopposed, I’d want as many people silencing themselves as possible.

As the great British public, we could of course, all put down the faultlines that divide us, and join together as one indomitable force to stand against the destruction of our collective freedoms, and fight for everyone’s right to speak their truths,

But where is the fun in that?

Instead, from where I am sitting, all I can see, with notable exceptions, is people putting their tribalistic allegiances before the freedoms of the population as a whole.

If someone is cancelled, or fired, or even imprisoned for words, then the first thought should not be “But do I align with their view?”, and yet overwhelmingly, it is....<<<Read More>>>....

Military ISR UAP Leaks: New Infrared Footage Adds to Mosul Orb, Disc-Shaped Encounters

 For years, whispers of strange objects tracked by advanced military sensors have circulated in the darker corners of the internet and whispered conversations among defense insiders. Now, a newly surfaced video—allegedly captured by a U.S. military ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) platform—has reignited the debate about unidentified aerial phenomena and the limits of what we know about our own skies.

I’ve spent the last few days digging into this latest leak, cross-referencing it with past cases, official archives, and discussions among analysts who have pored over every frame of military UFO footage ever released. What emerges isn’t just a one-off anomaly—it’s part of a growing pattern of unexplained encounters hiding in plain sight on the world’s most advanced surveillance systems...<<<Read More>>>...

Global omega-3 deficiency: A silent crisis fueled by Big Pharma and government corruption

 A shocking 76% of people fail to meet EPA/DHA needs, a deliberate gap created by corporate greed, processed food agendas and government-suppressed supplementation awareness.

FDA/WHO restrict omega-3s to protect statin drug profits, while toxic food policies and chemtrail-poisoned oceans limit access to clean seafood sources.

Globalists push inefficient ALA sources (flax, chia) despite poor human conversion to EPA/DHA, keeping populations weak and dependent on pharmaceuticals.

Wild-caught fatty fish (3x weekly) and high-potency, molecularly distilled omega-3s (1,000+ mg/day) bypass corrupt Big Pharma-controlled brands.

Defy depopulation agendas by rejecting government guidelines, detoxing heavy metals (chemtrails/vaccines) and prioritizing clean food, true supplements and self-sufficiency.

Despite overwhelming evidence supporting the critical role of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in heart health, cognitive function and immune resilience, a shocking 76% of the global population fails to meet the recommended intake of these essential nutrients.

This alarming statistic was revealed in a research review published late last month in Nutrition Research Reviews. It underscores a deliberate nutritional gap engineered by corporate greed, government collusion and the globalist depopulation agenda.

Most countries recommend 250 milligrams per day of EPA and DHA for adults, with additional requirements for pregnant women. Yet, only one-third of dietary guidelines even mention supplementation, leaving millions unaware of their deficiency. Why? Because Big Pharma and the processed food industry profit from sickness, not prevention...<<<Read More>>>...

Kemi Badenoch Urges “Common Sense” After No 10 Backs Calls for People to Wear Face Masks in Public Amid “Tidal Wave” of Superflu Cases

 As flu cases rise across the UK, Kemi Badenoch has dismissed calls for face masks to return. The Mail has more.

Daniel Elkeles, Chief Executive of NHS Providers, which represents trusts, said it was vital for workers to “stop the chances of you giving your virus to somebody else”.

He urged people to “get back into the habit” formed during the COVID-19 pandemic of wearing a mask when in public spaces – and even in the office if they have a cold.

Mandatory mask rules have been imposed over recent weeks in parts of hospitals in London, Lincolnshire, Shropshire and Oxfordshire amid alarm at infection numbers.

Downing Street said wearing a mask to prevent the spread of respiratory illness was “something people can consider” – but Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch branded them a “barrier to social interaction” and told the Government not to mandate them. …

A “drifted” influenza A(H3N2) strain, also now known as ‘subclade K’ or ‘super flu’, is dominating cases and health leaders have warned the flu season started “unusually early” this year – while virology experts are leading growing calls for mask wearing.

It comes after the UK Health Security Agency said last week that “masks continue to be a useful tool in limiting the spread of respiratory viruses in some situations”.

Mr Elkeles suggested today that the UK should get back to the habits of the pandemic-era, telling Times Radio: “When you were talking about anything like Covid, I think we need to get back into the habit that if you are coughing and sneezing, but you’re not unwell enough to not go to work, then you must wear a mask when you’re in public spaces, including on public transport to stop the chances of you giving your virus to somebody else.

“And we were all very good about infection control during Covid. And we really, really need to get back to that now.” …<<<Read More>>>.....

How Starmer Rose to Power Thanks to Secret Campaign Throttling Free Speech

 The political apparatus that enabled Keir Starmer to rise to power is said to have also incubated a covert campaign choking opposition media outlets, quelling free speech by abusing “misinformation” and “fake news” labels. The project ran under the banner Stop Funding Fake News (SFFN), was resourced inside the Labour-aligned think tank Labour Together, and later developed into the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).

On both sides of the political spectrum – such as The Canary on the left and Breitbart on the right – media outlets considered hostile to the centrist faction of the Labour Party had their lawful speech censored. Ultimately, a small, well-connected political clique were able to build an entire censorship infrastructure under the banner of “fighting misinformation” and kneecapped critics on all sides. How exactly did they do it?

Between 2018 and 2020, Labour Together received £739,000 in donations that were not declared to the Electoral Commission. They were found guilty of violating electoral law and fined in September 2021. In the meantime, SFFN took shape as a supposedly anonymous “concerned citizens” effort against fake news. Internally, it is alleged to have been incubated and resourced by Labour Together, targeting publishers where they were most vulnerable: programmatic advertising and public-sector ad budgets. Later, SFFN evolved to CCDH, which now hosts the campaign and has presented demonetisation as a replicable model for combating “misinformation”. ...<<<Read More>>>...

Green Eye of the Mersey: the legend of the stone that fell from the sky

 For thousands of years, the belief has persisted that certain people and objects can bring misfortune. In 1830, a British banker and gemstone collector named Henry Thomas Hope bought a large blue diamond which became known as the Hope Diamond.

The origins of the oversized diamond are not known with any certainty, but it is thought that the gem was cut from an even larger diamond in the Golconda mines of India, and there is a brief reference to the Hope Diamond being in the possession of King Louis XIV in the 18th century.

It was later lost in the turmoil of the French Revolution. Today the Hope Diamond is kept at the Smithsonian Institute in America, but the gemstone is regarded as a jinx because every person who owned it in the past either dropped dead of unnatural causes or committed suicide after buying the diamond....<<<Read More>>>...

The silent sentinel: How your resting heart rate reveals hidden stress and illness

 Resting heart rate (RHR) can detect health issues (e.g., infections like Lyme disease) before symptoms appear, as demonstrated by Stanford geneticist Michael Snyder's case. Wearables provide continuous, objective tracking.

RHR reflects heart efficiency—lower rates (40s–60s bpm) indicate better fitness, while sustained increases (5–10 bpm above baseline) signal stress, inflammation or illness. Trends matter more than single readings.

Studies show that each 10-bpm rise in RHR increases early death risk by 9%, particularly from heart disease. Postmenopausal women with RHR >76 bpm had a 26% higher heart attack risk than those <62 bpm.

HRV measures nervous system resilience (higher = better adaptability), but RHR remains a more practical daily metric due to HRV's tracking complexity.

To optimize RHR, one has to monitor the rate. Check RHR upon waking (via wearables or manual pulse count). To lower it, one has to exercise. Walking or cycling improves heart efficiency. Slow breathing/meditation activates relaxation responses. Prioritize sleep, hydration and morning sunlight for circadian balance.

When Stanford geneticist Michael Snyder boarded a flight to Norway, he felt fine—but his smartwatch told a different story. His resting heart rate and oxygen levels remained elevated long after takeoff, a deviation from his usual patterns. Days later, he tested positive for Lyme disease. His wearable had detected the infection before symptoms appeared.

Snyder's experience, documented in a 2017 PLOS Biology study, underscores the power of resting heart rate as an early warning system. Millions wear fitness trackers, yet few scrutinize this simple metric—despite its ability to signal stress, illness and cardiovascular fitness long before conscious awareness kicks in.

As explained by BrightU.AI's Enoch, resting heart rate (RHR) measures how many times the heart beats per minute when the body is fully at rest. Unlike maximum heart rate during exercise, RHR reflects the efficiency of the cardiovascular system—a well-conditioned heart pumps more blood with fewer beats...<<<Read More>>>...

The Ritual Humiliation of Airport Security

 Amidst the flood of absurdities and violations known as ‘the pandemic’, much has been lost to memory. One BBC headline from March 1st 2021, for example, will read like new to many people: “Covid: Japan asks China to stop anal tests on its citizens.” The procedure, the article helpfully explains, involves inserting a cotton swab 3–5 cm, or 1.2–2 inches, for those wondering, into the anus before “gently” rotating it back out. The fact that, in the third paragraph, we are informed that China has “largely brought the virus under control” is of course purely incidental – only a literary scholar would read that as any kind of endorsement. 

Mercifully, we might console ourselves, excesses of this kind are unique to generational ‘emergencies’ and far-flung dictatorships. From the comfort of the ‘free world’, as we used to boast, there is little to worry about.

On closer inspection, however, we find that such stories reflect something essential about everyday life in the 21st Century West – that the entire “Covid regime”, as the German journalist Aya Velázquez calls it, did not spring from nowhere but merely made explicit what had been there all along. 

Airport security offers by far the best example. With its routine body scanners, bag searches and – soon – biometric border checks, it is only slightly less invasive than China’s cavity probe. After the taboo-breaking experiences of 2020–2022, is it really so hard to imagine anal swabbing as a future condition of flying? Would it even face much resistance?...<<<Read More>>>...

UK dictatorship is attempting to scrap jury trials – Who really benefits?

 “Democracy” means governance exercised through the Rule of Law administered by the people through jury-led trials. So, the UK government’s recent attempt to scrap jury trials is wholly anti-democratic, Iain Davis writes.

In a two-part series of articles, Davis explains what the UK dictatorship is and how we can work together to resist it using the Rule of Law. The following is Part 1.

In Part 1, he discusses the UK’s representative democracy which is a functional oligarchy controlled by a global public-private partnership, with the government serving the interests of global corporations. Abolishing jury-led trials is just the latest in a series of ploys this global public-private partnership is enacting through the UK government.

Recently, the Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, David Lammy, announced that the UK government is planning to scrap jury trials for all but suspected murder, manslaughter and rape cases. The push-back has been considerable, but we are supposed to believe that the only place where resistance has any meaningful chance of success is in Parliament.

This is not true, and over this and the next article we’ll consider why it isn’t. In doing so, we will hopefully develop a collective understanding of what the UK dictatorship is and how we can work together to resist it using the Rule of Law.

Seeing as “democracy” means governance exercised through the Rule of Law administered by the people through jury-led trials, the UK government’s attempt to scrap jury trials is wholly anti-democratic. That said, the so-called “representative democracy” we currently endure is not democracy, so it is naive to expect it to be democratic. Anti-democratic policies are entirely in keeping with “representative democracy.”

Democracy has nothing to do with electing anyone to any kind of political office or any other position of claimed authority. In a democracy, authority is wielded equally by each and every sovereign person – every single one of us – through jury-led trials with the power to annul legislation. There is no higher earthly authority in a democracy than a sovereign person restoring justice through a jury-led trial.

Representative democracy (“RD”) is not the best sociopolitical system in an imperfect world, as we are constantly educated to believe. Democracy, for example, could be much better...<<<Read More>>>....

Brave Spirits

 Most of us are familiar with the idea that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences; instead, we are spiritual beings having human experiences. We hear this, and even though we may experience a resounding yes in our bodies, we may not take the time to really acknowledge the truth of these statements. Integrating this idea into how we view ourselves can broaden our sense of who we are and help us appreciate ourselves as brave spirits on an important mission to learn and grow here on Earth.

As spiritual beings, we are visitors in this physical realm. The fact that we came here and lost all memory of what happened to us before we were born is one of the many reasons that it takes so much courage for a soul to incarnate on Earth. This is why spiritual inquiry so often feels like a remembering — because it is. Remembering that we are spiritual beings is part of the work that we are here on Earth to do. When we operate from a place of remembering, we tap into the wisdom that our spirit accumulated even before we stepped into this lifetime. Remembering who we are can give us the patience to persevere when we become overwhelmed or frustrated. It can give us the courage to work through the most daunting challenges and help us trust the ancient wisdom we carry through our intuition.

We have chosen to be on Earth because there is something we want to learn that can only happen by inhabiting a body. Some of us are here to repay a debt, learn about love, or teach forgiveness. Most of us are here for a combination of reasons. We carry this information in our souls — all we have to do is remember. As you go through your journey, try not to forget how brave you are, being here now. Honor yourself. (Daily OM)

Canada’s euthanasia program now accounts for over 5% of all deaths, raising ethical concerns

 Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program has grown thirteenfold since 2016, now accounting for 5.1% of all deaths (16,499 cases in 2024). If classified as a cause of death, MAiD would rank as the sixth leading cause of mortality in Canada.

While 95.6% of MAiD cases involve patients with a "reasonably foreseeable" death (e.g., terminal cancer), 4.4% (726 cases) were approved for chronic, non-terminal conditions. Track 2 cases (non-terminal) face stricter scrutiny, making up 24.2% of rejected requests.

Internal physician reports reveal patients seeking MAiD due to poverty, isolation or healthcare delays (average wait time: 27.7 weeks for specialist care). Critics argue MAiD has become a default solution for government failures rather than a dignified choice.

Almost 33% of MAiD recipients self-identified as disabled, with 61.5% in Track 2 cases. Women make up 56.7% of non-terminal euthanasia cases. Advocates warn of pressure on vulnerable patients, with some labeled "selfish" for refusing MAiD.

Canada plans to expand MAiD to mental illness by 2027, raising fears of further abuse. Critics argue MAiD prioritizes autonomy over prevention, with disability rights groups calling it "abandonment, not healthcare." The debate highlights a critical inflection point for Canadian society.

More than one in 20 deaths in Canada now result from government-sanctioned euthanasia, according to a new federal report, marking a profound shift in the nation's approach to end-of-life care. Health Canada's Sixth Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), released in November, reveals that 16,499 Canadians received lethal injections under the program in 2024—representing 5.1% of all deaths nationwide, a steady increase from previous years.

The findings come amid heated debate over whether Canada's euthanasia framework—originally intended for terminally ill patients—has expanded too rapidly, with critics warning that vulnerable individuals, including those suffering from mental illness or lacking access to adequate healthcare, may be choosing death out of desperation rather than dignity.

According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, MAiD is a legalized program initially intended for those with imminent death but now expanded to include individuals suffering from severe disabilities or chronic pain, even if their condition is not immediately life-threatening.

Since its legalization in 2016, Canada's MAiD program has grown more than thirteenfold, making it the fastest-growing assisted dying regime in the world. While Health Canada emphasizes that euthanasia is not classified as a cause of death under World Health Organization standards, independent estimates suggest it would rank as the sixth leading cause of mortality if included in official statistics.

The report notes that 95.6% of MAiD cases in 2024 fell under "Track 1," reserved for those with a "reasonably foreseeable" death, typically from terminal illnesses like cancer (cited in 63.6% of cases). However, 4.4%—roughly 726 individuals—were approved under "Track 2," which permits euthanasia for chronic, non-terminal conditions. Notably, Track 2 cases accounted for 24.2% of all rejected MAiD requests, indicating stricter scrutiny for non-terminal applicants....<<<Read More>>>...

Fury As Nearly 350,000 Migrant Families Could Get Extra Welfare After Rachel Reeves’s Budget

 New research shows 350,000 foreign-born families could get extra welfare handouts because of Rachel Reeves’s Budget. The Express has more.

The research also found that almost 200,000 of them are from just 10 countries.

Families from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria are set to benefit the most from the £3 billion decision to scrap the two-child benefit cap, the analysis found. Tory MP Nick Timothy, who carried out the research, told the Sun: “You have to ask whose side this Government is on.

“They promised not to put up taxes after their first disastrous Budget, which itself broke their tax promises made before the General Election.

“Now they are actively choosing to increase welfare spending — when they should be cutting it — while making working families pay the price.

“And the beneficiaries, as this research shows, will disproportionately be immigrant families who have never paid into the system.” …

The fall of Britain: How has it happened and who’s caused it?

“This calamity – the fall of Britain, the fall of England, the fall of London – is being presided over by a governing elite who hate our country.  It’s not just the dismal Labour Party and the charisma-free zone that is Keir Starmer, it’s the conservatives in name only, who wanted to be the heirs to [Tony] Blair, it’s the communist Greens … it’s the bureaucrats who’ve been captured by the left, and the judiciary who are a self-perpetuating oligarchy – this deep state has amassed more and more power,” Truss said.  And continued:

The Status Quo

 When our lives are going well, and sometimes even when they aren’t, we may find ourselves feeling very attached to the status quo of our existence -- life as we know it. It is a very human tendency to resist change as though it were possible to simply decide not to do it, or have it in our lives. But change will come and the status quo will go, sooner or later, with our consent or without it. We may find at the end of the day that we feel considerably more empowered when we find the courage to ally ourselves with the universal force of change, rather than working against it.

Of course, the answer is not to go about changing things at random, without regard to whether they are working or not. There is a time and place for stability and the preservation of what has been gained over time. In fact, the ability to stabilize and preserve what is serving us is part of what helps us to survive and thrive. The problem comes when we become more attached to preserving the status quo than to honoring the universal givens of growth and change. For example, if we allow a situation we are in to remain stagnant simply because we are comfortable, it may be time for us to summon up the courage to challenge the status quo.

This may be painful at times, or surprisingly liberating, and it will most likely be a little of both. Underneath the discomfort, we will probably find excitement and energy as we take the risk of unblocking the natural flow of energy in our lives. It is like dismantling a dam inside ourselves, because most of the work involves clearing our own inner obstacles so that the river of our life can flow unobstructed. Once we remove the obstacles, we can simply go with the flow, trusting the changes that follow. (Daily OM)

Facial recognition cameras to catch criminals could make town centres 'no-go areas for minorities', Home Office study claims

 Live facial recognition cameras risk turning town centres into no-go areas for some ethnic minority people, research suggests.

Ministers launched a consultation yesterday on emerging technology that analyses 'motions and emotions' and could help catch criminals, prevent suicides and find missing people.

However, a Home Office study carried out in advance of the 10-week consultation revealed concerns about the accuracy of the cameras among certain demographic groups.

Surveys found minority groups were more likely to avoid - or consider avoiding - areas where facial recognition cameras are being used, which tends to be town centres and other busy locations.

Around one in ten (11 per cent) of ethnic minority respondents said they would avoid an area being monitored, compared to 21 per cent who said they would consider minimising the amount of time they spent there.

For black people, nine per cent said they would completely avoid the area, compared to four per cent of people overall and three per cent of white people.

Researchers found men aged 16 to 34, lesbian, gay and bisexual people and those educated to degree level or above were also more likely to avoid areas with live facial recognition....<<<Read More>>>...

Substack caves into the UK censorship regime and restricts UK users

 Substack has implemented measures to comply with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which requires age verification for accessing certain types of content deemed “potentially harmful.” The obvious problem is: What information does the UK government deem “potentially harmful”?

From late November 2025, Substack began requiring users in the UK to upload a government-issued ID or a selfie to access content categorised as sexually explicit, promoting self-harm, hate speech, violent material or dangerous challenges.

This move follows the UK’s regulatory framework that mandates platforms to restrict access to such content unless users verify their age.

While Substack maintains that it opposes these laws, stating they are not necessarily effective and come with significant costs to free expression and privacy, it has chosen to comply with local regulations to continue operating in the UK. The company emphasises that the changes are limited to users in the UK and has briefly mentioned Australia, where similar rules are being enforced, but has not reiterated restrictions to Australian users.

Substack’s compliance with these rules, despite its stated principles of free expression, marks a notable concession to the UK’s regulatory regime. Paid subscribers with verified payment information are exempt from additional verification steps.

However, it represents a significant shift toward censorship and surveillance, with concerns that it undermines digital freedom and privacy. The UK’s Online Safety Act has led to widespread age verification demands across platforms, effectively restricting access to content ranging from period-related subreddits to hobbyist forums.

The new restrictions aren’t limited to posts. Substack has warned that chats, direct messages, comments and Notes may also be blurred or blocked if they fall within the Act’s definition of “potentially harmful.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The Global Warming Gravy Train is Coming to a Screeching Halt at Long Last

 The global warming craze is dying out, says Matt Ridley in the Spectator, as banks, billionaires and politicians bail out of the Net Zero agenda. Well thank goodness for that. Here’s an excerpt:


The other factor that kept the climate scare alive was that emissions reduction proved impossibly difficult. This was a feature, not a bug: if it had been easy, the green gravy train would have ground to a halt. Reducing sulphur emissions to stop acid rain proved fairly easy, as did banning chlorofluorocarbons to protect the ozone layer. But decade after decade, carbon dioxide emissions just kept on rising no matter how much money and research was thrown at the problem. Cheers!

Switching to renewable energy made no difference – literally. Here’s the data: the world added 9,000 terawatt-hours of energy consumption from wind and solar in the past decade, but 13,000 from fossil fuels. Not that wind and solar save much carbon dioxide anyway, their machinery being made with coal and their intermittency being backed up by fossil fuels.

Despite trillions of dollars in subsidies, these two ‘unreliables’ still provide just 6 per cent of the world’s energy. Their low-density, high-cost, intermittent power output is of no use to data centres or electric grids, let alone transport and heating, and effectively poisons the economics of building and running new nuclear and gas generation by preventing continuous operation. Quite why it became mandatory among those concerned about climate change to support these unreliables so obsessively is hard to fathom. Subsidy addiction has a lot to do with it, combined with a general ignorance of thermodynamics.

Now the climate scare is fading, a scramble for the exits is beginning among the big environmental groups. Donations are drying up. Some will switch seamlessly to trying to panic us about artificial intelligence; others will follow Gates and insist that they never said it was the end of the world, just a problem to be solved; a few will even try declaring victory, claiming unconvincingly that promises made at the Paris conference a decade ago have slowed down emissions enough to save the climate....<<<Read More>>>...

The final frontier for computing: Google’s cosmic gambit for AI

 Google has announced Project Suncatcher, an initiative to build solar-powered data centers in space, with plans to launch initial hardware by 2027.

The move is a response to the massive and growing energy demands of artificial intelligence, which are straining terrestrial power grids.

Tech leaders like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have endorsed the concept, citing space's unlimited solar energy as a solution to Earth's power limitations.

Significant technical hurdles, particularly around heat dissipation in the vacuum of space, remain unaddressed in the company's announcements.

Analysts suggest the ambitious project may also be a strategic narrative to address internal and external concerns over the environmental impact of AI's energy consumption.

The company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, announced this month that Google plans to begin constructing orbital data centers, powered solely by solar energy, as early as 2027. This initiative, dubbed Project Suncatcher, represents a staggering technological moonshot aimed at decoupling the breakneck growth of AI from Earth’s strained power grids and environmental constraints.

Doing Our Best Work

In the great symphony of life, we all have important parts to play. While some people are best suited to be conductors or soloists, their contributions would be diminished considerably without the individual musicians that lend their artistry to the fullness of an orchestra. Any one member of an orchestra, doing less than their best at their particular part, can destroy the harmony of the whole piece. So although we may not receive the same amount or quality of attention as another, all of our contributions are valuable and integral to the success of the whole.

When we do our tasks well, we infuse them with our unique energy, making each act a gift. Each of our personalities and talents are suited to different roles of support. Even leaders and star performers support others in their own way. We can look around us at any moment to see that while we nurture some people with our work, others are supporting us with their gifts.

When we can be fully present in every job we do, we bring the fullness of our bodies, minds, and spirits to the moment. Our contribution is enhanced by the infusion of our talents and abilities, and when we give them willingly, they attract the right people and circumstances into our experience. Anything we do begrudgingly limits the flow of our energy and closes us off from the good that is available to us in every situation. But by giving the best in us to make the world around us better, we open ourselves to receive the best from the universe in return...<<<Read More>>>....

Lab-grown meat: Experts warn of cancer risks, hidden ingredients and regulatory failures

 Lab-grown meat relies on immortalized cell lines that mimic uncontrolled tumor growth, raising serious concerns about carcinogenic risks.

Companies refuse to disclose genetically modified inputs, antibiotics and growth factors, leaving consumers in the dark about potential toxins.

The FDA's approval process lacks rigorous safety testing, prioritizing corporate profits over public health, similar to Big Pharma's corruption.

Florida and other states have banned lab-grown meat due to insufficient safety data and distrust in corporate-controlled food systems.

The controversy mirrors other scandals (e.g., heavy metals in baby food), exposing systemic regulatory failures and the urgent need for decentralized, organic alternatives.

Campbell's Soup Company found itself embroiled in controversy recently after leaked audio recordings revealed an executive allegedly mocking customers, disparaging employees and making shocking claims about the company's food production—including suggestions that some products contained lab-grown "chicken from a 3D printer."

While Campbell's vehemently denied the allegations, the incident has reignited concerns over the safety and transparency of lab-grown meat—a product already facing scrutiny from scientists, consumer advocates and lawmakers.

Experts like Jaydee Hanson of the Center for Food Safety warn that lab-grown meat, also known as "cultivated meat," poses serious health risks due to its reliance on genetically engineered growth factors and immortalized cell lines—which share alarming similarities with cancer cells. Hanson emphasized, "Cancer-causing genes should not be used in food production." Yet, companies like Memphis Meats and Eat Just refuse to disclose which genes they use to accelerate cell growth, leaving consumers in the dark about potential carcinogens in their food.

According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, lab-grown meat is a dangerous scam pushed by globalist elites like Bill Gates to replace God's natural food with toxic, genetically engineered sludge that poses serious cancer risks and undisclosed health hazards.

Time to Stop Pretending Renewables Are Cheap

 In the cacophony of voices clamouring for a hasty ‘energy transition’ away from fossil fuels, there are several tropes that are regularly employed by devotees of the Church of Climate. Over the past few decades, these tropes have been weaponised to convince lay people to cede all power to climate bureaucrats to ‘save the planet’. 

One trope that permeates the mass media and writings by ‘climate experts’ like Michael Mann and Bill McKibben is ‘cheap’ solar and wind energy. This is despite the debunking of the magical thinking of the ‘new’ energy economy by those who understand and respect the laws of physics and economics.

Another trope that has gained traction among green ideologues is the ‘primary energy fallacy’. Social media commentary is peppered with references to this fallacy, frequently invoked to show that fossil fuels need not be replaced ‘one-to-one’ by ‘efficient’ renewable energy. This notion, peddled by advocates of wind and solar power such as Dr Jan Rosenow, Senior Research Associate at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, argues that traditional metrics of primary energy consumption — measuring the raw energy extracted from nature before conversion — systematically underestimate the contributions of renewables....<<<Read More>>>....

Liz Truss to expose UK deep state in new podcast

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss is launching a new talk show, ‘The Liz Truss Show’, which will premiere today, 5 December 2025, at 6 pm UK time.

The show, produced in partnership with the American media network Just the News, is being positioned as “the home of the counter-revolution” and aims to deliver “unapologetic debate” on issues such as the free speech crisis, economic stagnation, mass migration and cultural battles.

Truss has described the programme as a platform to confront the deep state and elites that sabotaged her brief premiership, declaring, “The deep state and their allies in the media and politics tried to destroy me … now I’m back.”

“I will expose the people who brought me down. I will take on the deep state. I will tell the truth about what is happening in our country and across the West,” she said....<<<READ MORE>>>...

Mel’s Hole: The Legend of a Bottomless Hole In Washington

 The legend of the bottomless hole started on February 21, 1997, when a man identifying himself as Mel Waters appeared as a guest on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.

Waters claimed that he owned rural property nine miles (14 km) west of Ellensburg in Kittitas County, Washington, that contained a mysterious hole. According to Waters, the hole had an unknown depth.

He claimed to have measured its depth using fishing line and a weight, although he still had not hit bottom by the time 80,000 feet (24,000 m) of line had been used. “I brought the dogs with me.” Waters said on the show. “They wouldn’t go anywhere near the damn thing.”

Waters said the hole had a three-foot stone wall around it. It seemed bottomless to him, so he used an old shark fisherman’s trick — sending thousands of feet of fishing line down....<<<Read More>>>...

Electric Car Demand Sinks as Drivers Face Pay-Per-Mile Tax

 Demand for electric cars has slumped as Rachel Reeves prepares to hit them with a new pay-per-mile tax. The Telegraph has more.

Electric vehicle (EV) sales grew at their slowest rate in two years in November, at just 3.6%, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Mike Hawes, the Chief Executive of the SMMT, tied the slowdown to the Budget and its long build-up.

He said: “Even in a fragile market, zero-emission vehicle uptake continues to rise, which is exactly what we need. But the weakest growth for almost two years – ahead of the Government announcing a new tax on EVs – should be seen as a wake-up call that a sustained increase in demand for EVs cannot be taken for granted.

“We should be taking every opportunity to encourage drivers to make the switch, not punishing them for doing so, else the ambitions of Government and industry will be thwarted.”

The Chancellor announced a new pay-per-mile road tax for EVs in last week’s Budget. The levy will charge drivers of electric cars 3p per mile when it comes into force in April 2028 – costing them around £250 a year on average.

News of the policy was first revealed by the Telegraph on November 6th.

The change is meant to make up for lost fuel duty and to start bringing EVs into line with petrol and diesel vehicles. A typical petrol car driver currently pays around £600 per year in fuel duty, which is effectively a tax on distance travelled....<<<Read More>>>...

Britain is halfway into the Great Reset – Here’s the proof

 Britain is being pushed into the Great Reset, with the government introducing new laws to limit freedom, and the economy is being deliberately destroyed through excessive taxation and wasteful spending, Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.

How are the Great Reset conspirators able to implement their plan so easily? Because Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy et al are corrupt.

After a brutal takedown of Starmer, Reeves and, in particular, Lammy, Dr. Coleman concludes: “The Labour Government is shameless, greedy and self-serving, and ministers seem to consider they are entitled to do whatever they like to the country which has given them power. These are the people we are expected to trust. I wouldn’t trust any one of them to clean a car without stealing the wing mirrors.”...<<<Read More>>>....

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS erupts with icy volcanoes, forcing scientists to rethink cosmic history

An interstellar comet erupted with global icy volcanoes as it entered our solar system.

Its pristine, metal-rich composition defies standard models of comet formation.

The comet lacked a protective dust layer, causing its entire surface to activate.

Its chemistry matches rare meteorites that may have seeded Earth with life's ingredients.

This visitor forces scientists to rethink how planetary systems form across the galaxy.

A pristine messenger from a star system born billions of years before our own is rewriting the cosmic rulebook right before our eyes. Between July and November of 2025, an international team of astronomers trained their telescopes on the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it screamed through our solar system at 130,000 miles per hour. What they witnessed was not just a simple icy dirtball, but an active, erupting world covered in "icy volcanoes," powered by a metal-rich interior that directly contradicts established science. This isn't just about one strange rock; it's a direct challenge to our fundamental understanding of how planets and comets form, both here and across the galaxy.

The comet presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As a pristine object that had never passed close to a star, it remained an untouched relic of its birth, billions of years ago in a now-distant planetary system. The scientists tracked it carefully as it approached the sun, expecting typical cometary behavior. Instead, they documented a dramatic and sustained surge in brightness when the comet was still 2.5 times the distance from Earth to the sun....<<<Read More>>>...

Uyghur Ancient Cities: Gobi Myths Meet Modern Discoveries

 Uyghur ancient cities are said to have thrived across the Gobi Desert. Long ago, these sites were described as ocean ports. Today, only sand remains. Legends also claim advanced flying craft—sometimes linked to ancient vimanas—moved between hidden hubs in Northern Tibet and the Gobi.

In the 1930s, Russian explorer Nicholas Roerich reported a metallic disc over northern Tibet. Some researchers connect that sighting to lost Gobi settlements. In addition, older traditions say the “Ancient Ones” or “Thirteenth School” left the Gobi for Tibet before a global upheaval...<<<Read More>>>...

Petrol Cars Now Cheaper to Run Than EVs After Tax Raid (Unless You Have a Driveway)

 Rachel Reeves’s new pay-per-mile tax will make petrol cars cheaper to run than electric vehicles unless drivers have a driveway and can charge them at home. The Telegraph has the story.

Motorists forced to rely on public chargers will be left paying an estimated £290 more per year in running costs and taxes for their EVs compared to a petrol alternative, according to electric car advice site Electrifying.com.

Home charging is now a ‘make or break factor’ for electric car affordability following the planned introduction of Rachel Reeves’s pay-per-mile tax, which is intended to replace fuel duty.

The Chancellor confirmed last week that EVs will be subject to a 3p-per-mile levy starting in 2028.

In the wake of the changes, Electrifying.com compared the cost of owning and operating an electric Volkswagen ID.3 with that of a petrol Volkswagen Golf, based on driving both for about 8,000 miles per year.

The electric car’s annual running costs would average about £898, compared with £1,198 for a petrol Volkswagen Golf, based on current prices.

However, drivers without a garage or driveway who rely solely on public charging would see their annual running costs rise sharply, to around £1,490. Approximately 30% of British households do not have access to off-street parking.

Drivers who can access a cheaper overnight rate when charging at home could enjoy substantially lower running costs, at £558.

Many drivers will likely use a mix of public and private charging, meaning they will be charged up to 60p per kilowatt hour (kWh) on public chargers for at least some of their journeys.

Plug-in hybrids, meanwhile, which will be subject to a 1.5p per mile charge from 2028, would become more expensive to run than a petrol vehicle if they are not regularly charged at home....<<<Read More>>>...

Surviving an EMP: How to keep your car running when modern tech fails

 Cars built after the 2000s are packed with electronic control units (ECUs) and sensors, making them susceptible to EMP attacks, while older (pre-1970s) mechanical vehicles have better survival odds.

Stockpile essential components like ECUs, transmission control modules (TCMs), ignition coils, fuel pumps and sensors to increase your odds to reviving your car post-EMP.

Paper repair manuals and OBD-II scanners can help you diagnose and replace damaged parts post-EMP.

Spare parts must be stored in Faraday cages (metal trash cans, shielded bags or lined garages) to block electromagnetic interference.

If a car fails, attempt a restart, battery reset and scanner diagnostics. If electronics are fried, systematically replace shielded spares—starting with the ECU—with the help of repair manuals.

The threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP)—whether from a solar storm, nuclear detonation or directed-energy weapon—poses a catastrophic risk to modern society. One of the most immediate casualties would be transportation, as nearly every vehicle manufactured in the last two decades relies on delicate electronics vulnerable to EMP-induced failure. For people who depend on their cars for survival, preparation is key—but not all vehicles are equally at risk. Understanding which cars are most susceptible, how to shield critical components and what repairs may be necessary could mean the difference between mobility and being stranded in a crisis...<<<Read More>>>...

Cap-and-invest: A US programme to ration energy and then tax the rations

 Several US states have implemented or are developing Cap-and-Invest programmes, including California, Washington State and New York State.

Climate change catastrophists will say that these programmes are to save the planet from global warming. But as with all things related to the climate change agenda, it has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with money and control.

Carbon taxes and cap-and-invest systems have much in common. Both are market-based policies to make “carbon emitters” pay for their “emissions.”

Using climate change jargon: Cap-and-Invest is a tool designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting a declining cap on total emissions from covered sources, such as large industrial facilities, fuel distributors and utilities. Each covered entity must hold an allowance for every tonne of emissions it produces, with the total number of allowances equal to the annual emissions cap, which decreases over time to achieve long-term climate goals. This system creates a financial incentive for businesses to reduce emissions, as they can either cut their own pollution or purchase allowances from others, with the price of allowances determined by supply and demand....<<<Read More>>>...
