Emotional surveillance is the next level of Orwellian technology

 Meanwhile .... back in the pantomime, the parasite elite have their Agenda 2030 fear narratives in full swing. Everywhere you look on the internet there are unwitting bots spreading the propaganda on behalf of the parasites. 

Stories appear daily on social media about the incoming Agenda 2030 and its dystopian control measures ... and sadly, its entering into the perceptions and the sub-conscious of the gullible humans. 

They see and believe the sources of this bot spreading, without questioning who is releasing the propaganda news to these sources. The parasites have set their intention off and have infiltrated all areas of the internet, even the well intentioned conspiracy sites. Its a wish fulfillment exercise for what is left of the parasites, who despite their media declarations that say contrary, are not as much in control as the stories make out .... here is one such bot spreading story .... its time to take everything you read on these matters with a pinch or two of good quality salt ....

According to a report from Biometric Update, the next evolution in digital identity and security systems is moving beyond traditional biometrics and behavioral data to analyze human emotions themselves.

San Francisco-based Valence AI has raised $5 million in seed funding and secured two U.S. patents for technology that detects emotional states in real time from live speech.

The company’s Pulse Emotion model analyzes vocal cues such as tone, pacing, and other indicators, converting them into structured data for use in voice agents, contact centers, sales, and support operations. This development signals a broader shift where emotional signals are being integrated into the trust and identity stack alongside device reputation, behavioral analytics, and transaction history....<<<Read More>>>...

Egypt Announces Discovery of Byzantine-Era City in Western Desert

Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced on Saturday, July 4, the discovery of a well-preserved Byzantine-era residential city at the Dakhla Oasis in the western desert, along with 18 ancient tombs at the Marina el-Alamein archaeological site near Alexandria.

Officials said the finds are expected to bolster the country’s tourism sector, which has been recovering from years of political turmoil and the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The discoveries underscore Cairo's ongoing efforts to highlight its archaeological heritage and attract visitors.

The unearthed settlement at Dakhla Oasis features north-south thoroughfares intersecting east-west streets, open squares and a basilica church dating to the mid-fourth century, according to Hisham el-Leithy, secretary general of the supreme council of antiquities. Such urban planning reflects the Byzantine influence on the region during that period, with similar structures appearing across the Eastern Mediterranean. Notably, the basilica stands at the head of the settlement, overlooking its main streets, a layout consistent with other Byzantine-era church placements.

Archaeologists found houses, bread ovens, kitchens, stone grinding tools, bronze and gold coins, and pottery fragments with inscriptions detailing commercial transactions and daily life, said Mahmoud Massoud, who chairs the archaeological mission, and Diaa Zahran, head of the Islamic, Coptic and Jewish Antiquities department. Among the structures was the house of Tikous, identified as a church deacon, which likely served as a house church before the basilica was built.

These finds provide insight into the daily activities of the community, which thrived when Egypt was part of the Byzantine Empire. Similar discoveries at sites such as the lost city of Imet near Tanis have also revealed rare insight into ancient daily life, according to researchers...<<<Read More>>>...

Left-wing politicians’ disdain for patriotism and British culture is behind their war on national flags

 The display of national flags, such as the Union Jack and St George’s Cross, is being met with hostility from left-wing politicians, who claim it creates “fear and division” in local communities.

The true reason for the ban, Paul Embery says, is their disdain for patriotism and traditional British culture.

What is it about our national flag that brings out such hypocrisy in the metropolitan elites? Why do these people, who seem entirely relaxed about the display of virtually every other kind of flag, even politically contentious or divisive ones, exhibit such hostility towards the colours of their own nation?

In recent days, Oxfordshire County Council became the first local authority to successfully impose a legal ban on the placement of flags on lampposts, after activists from the ‘Raise the Colours’ campaign had festooned some streets with the Union Jack and St George’s Cross.

The council is run by – no surprises here – the Liberal Democrats. In the high court, where it was seeking an injunction against the activists, the council claimed that the display of flags from roadside infrastructure gave rise to serious safety concerns.

But its leader, Tim Bearder, had already disclosed what appeared to be the real reason for the ban, telling the media before the court hearing that the flags were creating “fear and division” in local communities...<<<Read More>>>....

Andy Burnham Will “Control” Immigration the Same Way He “Controlled” Homelessness – By Increasing It

Whilst mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham ‘solved’ homelessness there: by increasing it. Once elected in 2017, he pledged to end all rough sleeping in the city by 2020 through a scheme called A Bed Every Night, or ABEN – if he’d called it A Bed Every Day, it could have been ABED, which is an actual relevant word. The plan had even more serious problems than its botched acronym, because, despite initial success, by the time Andy left office the number of rough sleepers across Greater Manchester had begun to rise precipitously, almost doubling between 2022 and 2026. At this rate, the problem will soon end up even worse than when Andy became mayor in the first place.

The flaw was that, once indigents nationwide heard of Manchester’s ABEN and its early triumphs, they actively hitched to the city using its world-famous yellow bus network to take advantage of it, flooding the place with more hobos than a cardboard-box factory. The end result was tent-cities full of druggies and refugees, with the previous central parkland beauty-spot of Piccadilly Gardens now rechristened ‘Crackadilly Gardens‘. An unnamed city council source told local news outlet the Mill that: “A lot are under the perception they’re going to get a council house if they come to Manchester, which they aren’t.” The Mill spoke to one unhappy camper named Mohamed, who moved to Manchester from Birmingham, for one reason only: “I want a home.” A free one. Because he thinks he was promised one by Andy Burnham. Given Andy’s disturbingly similar plans for ‘reforming’ UK immigration policy, there may soon be many more freeloaders called Mohamed on their way to Manchester seeking a free house, too....<<<Read More>>>...

Cyber warfare is no longer directed by humans. It's being shaped by AI.

 We are approaching the most consequential transformation in cyber conflict in a generation.

The next wave of AI-driven cyber capabilities is not some distant prospect waiting over the horizon. It has already arrived. Yet much of the public conversation remains fixated on model releases, company valuations, and the race among technology firms to dominate the artificial intelligence marketplace. Inside government circles, however, the discussion has taken on a far greater sense of urgency.

Behind closed doors, national security officials are grappling with a reality that only recently seemed theoretical: artificial intelligence is beginning to alter the balance of power between attackers and defenders in cyberspace.

The change is not gradual. It is structural.

For the first time, nation-state actors are gaining the ability to conduct cyber operations at machine speed.

Vulnerabilities that once demanded months of painstaking work from highly specialized teams can now be uncovered in a matter of hours. Attack pathways that previously required deep technical expertise and years of accumulated experience can increasingly be mapped, refined, and executed through automation.

The most significant implication is not simply a dramatic increase in capability. It is a transformation in the underlying economics of cyber conflict itself. Cost, scale, speed, and accessibility are all shifting simultaneously, reshaping the strategic landscape in ways that governments are only beginning to understand.

For decades, sophisticated cyber operations required enormous investments. States needed specialized personnel, extensive infrastructure, intelligence pipelines, operational patience, and years of institutional expertise. Even the most advanced cyber powers faced limitations. Resources were finite. Expertise was scarce. Time remained a constraint.

Those limitations helped define the balance between offense and defense.

Today, that balance is beginning to fracture....<<<Read More>>>...

Savoring The Moment

 Often, life can feel like it’s zipping by. And as a result, we feel obliged to accelerate our own speed along with it, turning our productivity into frenzied accomplishment. We find ourselves cramming as much activity as possible into the shortest periods of time. We disregard our natural rhythms because we think we have to keep up. In truth, rushing never gets you anywhere but on to the next activity or goal.

Slowing down allows you to not only savor your experiences, but also to fully focus your attention and energy on the task at hand. Moving at a slower place lets you get things done with greater accuracy, while rushing can diminish the quality of your work and your relationships. When we slow down, we are giving ourselves the opportunity to reacquaint ourselves to our natural rhythms. We let go of the “fast forward” stress, and allow our bodies to remain centered and grounded. Slowing down is inherent to fully savoring anything in life. Rushing to take a bath can feel like an uncomfortable dunk in hot water, while taking a slow hot bath can be luxuriant and relaxing. A student cramming for a test will often feel tired and unsure, whereas someone who really absorbs the information will be more confident and relaxed. Slowing down lets you become more absorbed in whatever it is you are doing.

Learning to step away from the rush in our fast-moving world can take practice, but if you slow down long enough to try it, you may surprise yourself with how natural and organic living at this pace can be. (Daily OM)

Met Office Claims Another Temperature Record – in an Overgrown Backyard

Who’s funding the campaign to push the ruinous net-zero agenda in the UK?

 A network of foundations, research groups and policy shops, often funded through foreign channels, is behind the push for net zero in the UK.

The Spectator calls this network the “Dark Green lobby.”

“[The Dark Green lobby] has been astonishingly successful in shaping policy, controlling debate and overruling elected governments in the courts. It has prevented the exploration of oil and gas in the North Sea, kept energy prices high and made us ever more dependent on Chinese technology,” the outlet said.

The Dark Green actor with the most influence is the Netherlands-based European Climate Foundation (“ECF”), which supports “700+ partner organisations” to “broaden political and public support for net zero.”

“The ECF hopes to ‘embed climate action in robust, future-proof frameworks that withstand political change’. In other words, sod the voters,” The Spectator said.

To this end, it spent €171 million (£146 million) last year to support climate action across Europe and beyond and has donated significant amounts of money to various British thinktanks, including...<<<Read More>>>...

Mountain Meditation

Throughout history, humankind has stood in awe of mountains. The strength and endurance embodied in the rocky crags and sweeping slopes have inspired creativity and kindled courage for centuries. Mountains have been venerated by many cultures, which worshipped great summits as gods and sacred beings. In their looming presence, humanity has seen power, steadfastness, and resolve. Yet you don’t have to live near a mountain to tap into this vast energy of commanding grandeur. Because mountains are as unique in form as human beings, you may live beneath the steady gaze of a small mountain without even knowing it.

If there are mountains in your area, even small ones, spend some time enjoying the peaceful embrace of Mother Nature, which can be a potent meditation aid. If you don’t have mountains near you, grasping a rock or stone in your hand will enable you to easily tap into Earth energy. Visualize yourself at the base of a towering summit, and while holding the rock, tune into mountain energy. When you feel tranquil, express your intention to commune with your mountain and ask to receive its energy. Project your consciousness onto the mountain’s peak, and look down upon the flatlands over which it stands guard. Send light to the flora and fauna that call the mountain home.

Finally, ask the mountain to serve as a guide and give it your sincerest gratitude. If you were able to visit the actual plateau or summit, pass time with the mountain by camping, hiking, or picnicking upon it. Or, if your journey has been a spiritual one, use your imagination to survey the sights, sounds, and scents of your mountain. As your explorations progress, you will become ever more grounded, growing gradually into your personal power. When you are finished meditating with mountain energy, give thanks to this strong and powerful energy for sharing time with you. (Daily OM)

The hidden advantage of intermittent fasting: Why timing your meals could be better than counting calories

 Intermittent fasting offers unique psychological benefits beyond weight loss. New research shows that people who fast (e.g., eating only between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. three times a week) lost just as much weight as those who counted calories, but they experienced fewer food-related thoughts and felt less need to monitor overeating. This can help break the cycle of "yo-yo dieting."

The main advantage is simplicity and reduced mental stress. Unlike traditional dieting that requires constant calorie counting and tracking, intermittent fasting creates clear time boundaries for eating. This reduces "decision fatigue" and "food noise," the persistent, often negative thoughts about food, guilt and restriction, allowing people to reconnect with natural hunger cues.

Beyond weight loss, intermittent fasting has many health benefits. Research shows it can boost memory, improve blood pressure and heart health, help with fat loss while preserving muscle, lower blood sugar and insulin levels and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.

Intermittent fasting is not for everyone. It may be unsafe for people with diabetes, pregnant or nursing women, growing adolescents, those with a history of eating disorders or individuals taking medications that affect blood glucose. Anyone considering it should consult a doctor first.

To start, go slow and focus on quality food. Beginners can try a 14-hour fast (e.g., 6 p.m. to 8 a.m.) so most fasting time happens during sleep. The eating window should still include nutritious foods like protein, vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, not just highly processed items. The best diet is one you can sustain long-term without harming your relationship with food.

New research suggests intermittent fasting offers psychological benefits that traditional dieting doesn't, particularly for chronic dieters...<<<Read More>>>...

Police Must Stop Engaging in “Woke” Culture Wars, Says Major Government-Backed Report

 Police must stop engaging in “woke” culture wars and “preferencing certain groups” and focus instead on catching criminals, a major Government-backed review has concluded. The Telegraph has more.

The damning report into failings in police leadership said bosses must be “resolute” in “refusing to take sides” and not be diverted from “focusing entirely on the prevention, detection and prosecution of crime”.

Amid renewed scrutiny over ‘two-tier policing‘, police leaders are accused of “preferencing certain groups” in the review, which is one of the most thorough examinations of the force ever undertaken.

Lord Blunkett, the former Labour home secretary who co-chaired the report, said there was “no room for culture wars or woke” causes in policing. “The idea that people should be diverted onto other issues is entirely wrong,” he said.

A commission was set up by the College of Policing with the support of the Home Office, in the wake of a series of scandals, including the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by serving Metropolitan Pc Wayne Couzens.

Its report, published on Monday, called for a “reset” of police culture after finding evidence of ineffective and corrupt leadership, nepotism, poor training and a lack of support for front-line officers.

The murder of Henry Nowak, a student who was handcuffed by police as he lay dying because his killer, Vickrum Digwa, who is Sikh, lied about being racially abused by the teenager, has renewed the debate around two-tier policing in Britain.

Amid the public outcry over the treatment of Nowak, police chiefs announced a review of their guidance that suggested “racial equity” did not mean “treating everyone the same or being colour blind”....<<<Read More>>>....

SignalTrace: Licence plate cameras will soon track phones, digital wearables and even your pet

 SignalTrace is a surveillance platform that is being marketed to law enforcement and government agencies in the United States. It allows the collection of data from various personal digital devices, including smartphones and smartwatches, carried or worn by people associated with a particular vehicle.

The goal of the technology is to “bridge the gap between vehicle and occupant,” creating a unique electronic fingerprint to follow people’s movements and associations.

They are no longer interested in tracking your car. They are interested in tracking you.

In 2024, a patent was granted to Leonardo, a leading global aerospace, defence, security and surveillance company, for an electronic detection system designed to help law enforcement identify people of interest using the signatures their electronic devices emit, such as fitness trackers, RFID tags and local signals from their mobile phones.

This technology underpins the ELSAG SignalTrace Intelligence System, which Leonardo is marketing to police, border security and other government agencies in the United States.

SignalTrace “bridges license plate recognition data with sensor-captured device identifiers – such as those from mobile phones, Bluetooth wearables, and vehicle systems – to create a unique, trackable ‘electronic fingerprint’ for investigative use,” according to an advertisement flyer.

The idea is to correlate these unique device identifiers to a vehicle license plate, 404 Media said. Putting it more succinctly, The Drive said, “License plate cameras will soon track phones, wearables, infotainment and even your pets.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Is healthcare a human right?

Candace Owens recently visited Russia with her family, among other things, in order to attend the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Her entourage included a security team, among whom was a U.S. military veteran, a former Navy SEAL with about 12 years of service (Mr. SEAL).

As it happened, shortly after their arrival in Moscow, this man had a medical emergency: a stroke-like event, which caused him to collapse with severe seizures. Paramedics and hospital staff reacted quickly and among other things performed a CT scan that revealed a massive blood clot in his brain. An emergency surgery was arranged to remove the clot.

According to Candace Owens, Mr. SEAL had significant health issues related to this clot including frequent headaches, hearing loss, seizures and coughing up blood. Even though these issues were related to his military service, he was unable to obtain proper treatment from the US Veterans Administration where he was told his problems were all in his head (they kind of were), related to PTSD. Instead of a CT scan and proper treatment, they prescribed him Xanax and told him to go away.

In Russia, he was treated immediately and according to Owens, his symptoms, including headaches, hearing issues, and blood coughing cleared up significantly or went away overnight. After his surgery he received physical therapy, ongoing care and further diagnostic tests....<<<Read More>>>...

12 Foods that can slash your stress levels before bed

 A report published on June 24, 2026, by Heather Jones and medically reviewed by registered dietitian nutritionist Allison Herries reveals that strategic nighttime eating can transform your stress response by lowering blood pressure and calming the nervous system.

Walnuts, backed by Penn State University research, significantly reduce stress responses and blood pressure due to omega-3 fatty acids like alpha-linolenic acid, with study participants eating about nine whole walnuts daily showing marked improvements.

Magnesium is critical for nighttime stress relief, found in avocados, leafy greens, bananas, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds, as stress can deplete magnesium and interfere with sleep.

The gut-brain connection is key, with 95% of serotonin receptors in the gut lining; probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kimchi and kefir can lower stressd levels by supporting digestive health.

Foods to avoid before bed include alcohol, caffeine, highly processed items, foods high in saturated fat and sugary foods and drinks, as they interfere with sleep essential for stress management.

When the world gets loud and your mind refuses to quiet down, the answer to a peaceful night might be sitting in your kitchen.

Far-Left Protesters Threaten England Fans in Mexico City Over British ‘Colonialism’

 England fans heading to Monday’s World Cup clash in Mexico City have been threatened by far-Left activists, who accuse Britain of colonialism and backing Israel in Gaza. GB News has the story:

A group called the Anti-Globalist Assembly is protesting England’s participation in the tournament, accusing Britain of “perpetuating a colonial system, as well as for its active participation in and complicity with the genocide in Gaza”.

It has also said it wants to “denounce the repression, harassment and violence that the Mexico City Government has inflicted upon searching families, activists, defenders of land, water and housing, as well as trans comrades and sex workers”.

At least two protest groups are plotting to ambush fans and cause disruption similar to scenes witnessed at the tournament’s opening match.

There, an unruly mob proceeded to smash up a nearby lorry before hurling flares and stones at police officers.

That disorder is believed to have been sparked by a mob of 200 masked men who broke away from two groups of 800 protesters in the Mexican capital.

Now, police are deploying a staggering 7,500 officers around the Azteca Stadium for the match, which kicks off at 1am UK time on Monday.

This represents the largest security operation ever mounted for an England football fixture, with one police officer present for every 10 supporters inside the ground....<<<Read More>>>...

Communicating With the Other Side

 Mediumship is the sacred practice of receiving messages from loved ones who have passed on. At its heart, it is rooted in one of the most tender human hopes: that love does not end when a life does. Many people have already felt this in small, quiet ways — a song that plays at just the right moment, a familiar scent in an empty room, a vivid dream, or seeing an animal appear that feels like a hello from beyond. Mediumship helps us listen more closely to those moments and trust that connection can continue, even when someone is no longer physically here.

Mediumship is usually practiced through stillness, openness, and deep listening. A person may begin with meditation, prayer, breathwork, or simply a quiet moment to calm the mind and open the heart. From there, impressions may arise as images, words, emotions, body sensations, memories, symbols, or an inner knowing. It is not about forcing, but rather becoming gentle enough, present enough, and receptive enough to notice the love that may already be reaching toward us.

What’s beautiful is that this experience is available to all of us — it’s not limited only to those who identify as psychics or professional mediums. You can begin to develop this intuitive connection by paying attention to dreams, synchronicities, gut feelings, and the subtle signs that stir something deep within. In many ways, love changes form, but it does not disappear. And when we learn to listen, it can bring comfort, healing, and the reminder that we are never truly alone. (Daily OM)

The oligarchs’ primary front organisation are national governments

 A functional oligarchy is where economic elites and organised business groups have significant influence on government policy, while average citizens have little to no independent influence.

As Iain Davis explains, many countries, whether they are capitalist or communist, are now “governed” by a functional oligarchy, the same oligarchy. This is the One World Government.

Oligarchy is a very old system of governance and one we have never really escaped. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle stated that oligarchy (oligarchia) becomes the governance system “when men of property have government in their hands.” Today, we define “oligarchy” as “government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.” When oligarchs exercise political power by virtue of their wealth, we call it “plutocracy.”

A branch of political science called “Elite Theory” has tried to justify the plutocracy of contemporary oligarchs. Generally, however, both plutocracy and oligarchy are considered pejorative terms.

We are told that we live in “representative democracies” precisely because oligarchy is widely viewed as unacceptable. Despite the fact that “representative democracy” is the antithesis of democracy, the purported virtues of our fake democracies are constantly extolled simply to convince us that we don’t live in oligarchies.

Study: Manuka Honey Shows Promise for Dry Eyes, Sinus Issues, and Oral Health

New research indicates that manuka honey, a variety produced by bees that pollinate the manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) in New Zealand, may offer benefits beyond its established use in wound care. According to a report published in The Epoch Times, scientists are finding that manuka honey can help alleviate dry eyes, calm sinus inflammation, and improve oral health.

The honey's unique properties stem from its high concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound with potent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Unlike regular honey, which relies on hydrogen peroxide for antimicrobial action, manuka honey uses a stable non-peroxide mechanism, according to registered dietitian Tina Alexander, as quoted in The Epoch Times. 

Manuka honey is derived almost exclusively from the nectar of the manuka bush, which flowers for only a few weeks each year in remote parts of New Zealand, according to the report. This rarity, combined with the thixotropic properties that make it solid at room temperature and liquid when stirred, contributes to its higher cost, which can range from $20 to $200 per jar depending on purity and antibacterial activity.

The grading system for manuka honey is administered by the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association. Products are rated from UMF 5+ to UMF 25+, indicating the concentration of MGO and the strength of antibacterial activity. Tina Alexander told The Epoch Times that regular raw honey fights bacteria using hydrogen peroxide, which degrades quickly when exposed to heat, light, or body fluids, while manuka honey's non-peroxide antimicrobial activity remains stable under difficult conditions....<<<Read More>>>...

 Green energy tycoon Dale Vince has blamed Ed Miliband for the “toxification of Net Zero” and branded him unfit to become Chancellor. The Telegraph has more.

The Labour donor accused the Energy Secretary of putting “ideology before the economy” and questioned whether he had a grasp of “even the basic notion of value for money”.

Miliband’s spending record in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) demonstrated his economic incompetence, Vince told the Telegraph.

In particular, the green energy entrepreneur criticised the decision to commit tens of billions of pounds to heat pumps and carbon capture technology, the latter of which remains largely unproven on a global scale.

“It’s about economic competence,” he said. “It’s about having an understanding of even the basic notion of value for money. I question whether he has that when you look at spending decisions like carbon capture and storage.

“It’s madly uneconomic so this makes me question whether he’s putting ideology in front of [the] economy. We need something else from a Chancellor and someone who is more business-like.”

Time Travel’s Unpleasant Side Effect: Memory Loss

Imagine that you had the ability to travel back in time. But when you returned to the present, you found that you could not remember anything about it. Physicists believe that this is a real consequence that time travelers may face.

While most research has focused on the mechanics of time travel, little attention has been given to its effects on the traveler. The new study suggests that journeying through time could come with unusual side effects—most notably, the loss of all memories from the trip.

Researchers believe this phenomenon is tied to the concept of a “closed timelike curve” (CTC), a feature of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.

A closed timelike curve is a concept in Einstein’s general theory of relativity where, under certain conditions, spacetime forms loops. These loops result in paths in spacetime that return to their starting point, allowing time travel to an earlier point.

According to scientists, when a person travels back in time and returns to the present, the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy, or the degree of disorder in a system, always increases with time.

This process cannot be easily reversed, because it would mean a decrease in entropy, which does not naturally occur in the universe....<<<Read More>>>...

Police Track Down to Pub Man Who Criticised Green Councillor Over Outdoor Drinking Ban

Two Met police officers have tracked down to a pub a man who had criticised a local Green councillor over an outdoor drinking ban, sparking concerns that Britain is becoming a police state. The Mail has more.

This is the extraordinary moment two Met police officers tracked down a photographer to a pub over his critical tweets about a local Green councillor – despite admitting he had committed no crime.

Alastair Hilton was having a drink with a friend in Chiswick, west London, on Thursday night when uniformed officers grilled him about his social media posts.

Hilton feared being arrested when he was asked to step outside by two policemen as he celebrated a victory for his community over the Labour-run council and saved outdoor seating outside three much-loved pubs on the Thames.

As the debate over ‘two-tier policing’ in the UK continues to rage, an irate Hilton told the officers that his terrified daughter had suffered an attempted burglary while she slept just weeks earlier – and claimed that police had refused to attend.

Yet last night the Met had dispatched officers to a pub to track him down and question him about some of his tweets, despite acknowledging that there had been no crime.

At one point an officer even read out the legislation under which Scotland Yard would arrest him if he crossed the line.

Hilton has said: “They admit on video that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.”

The incident is yet another case where police have appeared to meddle in free speech....<<<Read More>>>...

We Are Beings of Light

 At our core, we are beings of light — spiritual beings journeying through a human experience. As children, most of us know this, but other human beings who have forgotten what they really are and who cannot help us know ourselves train us to forget. As a result, we are led to believe that magic is not real, that our invisible playmates do not really exist, and that we are limited beings with only one earthly life to live. There is enormous pressure to conform to this concept of ourselves, and often, we lose touch with our full potential, forgetting that we are beings of light.

At this time, many of us are reawakening to the truth of who we are because we are living amidst such large-scale changes in the world. We need to access this light not only to survive but also to thrive as we shift into a new order of consciousness. As the changes around us proceed in rapid progression, we will want to be able to trust our own ability to sense what is happening and how we can best respond. We are no longer living in a predictable world in which we can trust external authority figures and prior ideas about reality to guide us. We need to be able to access the information that will help us navigate these uncertain waters, and the ultimate authority resides in our awareness of ourselves as beings of light.

It is through our connection to this light that we know things beyond what the visible world can tell us, and we see things beyond what the physical world reveals. In order to access this wisdom, we can simply allow ourselves to remember that we are not limited, as we have been taught. In fact, we are filled with divine grace and power that is ours for the asking. A daily practice of tuning into this vast potential, conversing with it, and offering ourselves up to it opens the door through which we can reclaim our true identity, taking ownership of the calling that the time has come to create bliss on Earth.

Europe’s carbon rules buckle as Volkswagen weighs 100,000 job cuts

Meanwhile .... more news on the carbon is guilty lie and the mechanism is for depopulation and parasite class control.

++++++++++++++++++++ 

 The EU is holding to its Green Deal targets — a 55% emissions cut by 2030 and net-zero by 2050 — even as its carbon market comes under growing political attack.

Carbon costs have climbed sharply, from an average €25 per ton in 2020 to over €100 by 2023, adding pressure on European manufacturers.

Germany, Italy, and Eastern European nations are demanding looser climate rules amid job cuts at major employers like Volkswagen.

The EU's Emissions Trading System faces political backlash, with Italy calling for suspension and Poland and the Czech Republic securing a delay to the ETS2 carbon-pricing scheme.

Critics, including Hungary's energy minister, argue the EU's aggressive targets risk economic harm while it accounts for less than 7% of global emissions.

Europe's green agenda is colliding with economic reality, and the strain is showing across the continent's industrial heartland. As European Union leaders hold to their target of a net-zero economy by 2050, a growing bloc of national governments is demanding the rules be loosened — and some of the bloc's biggest employers are shedding jobs.

At the center of the fight is the EU's Emissions Trading System, the carbon market that has anchored the bloc's climate strategy since 2005. The system charges companies for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit, and the politics around it have turned volatile....<<<Read More>>>...

Quote for the Day

 

Is Mahmood’s proposed new immigration scheme the official start of the UN’s “replacement migration”?

 The UN has long advocated for a system of “replacement migration.” The reasoning the UN uses is to replace the populations where birth rates are low with migrants from countries where the birth rates are high.

At the end of June, Shabana Mahmood, the UK Home Secretary, announced a new refugee sponsorship route for refugees. For refugees to enter the UK, they must be referred by the UNHCR.

In other words, the UN is deciding how many refugees enter the UK and from where. Mahmood is outsourcing control of the UK’s borders to the UN. Worse still, her plan appears to be nothing more than a UN “refugee” quota system or, perhaps more accurately, implementation of the UN’s replacement migration scheme....<<<Read More>>>...

The Problem With ‘Extreme Weather’

 Each year, the 23-degree tilt of the planet we live on causes seasons to change as it orbits the Sun. We also know that on top of this regime, heat is moderated, and sometimes intensified by particular weather systems, to create ‘heatwaves’. For most of history, people had no explanation for either seasonal change or differences between a season from one year to the next, or even one week to the next. Now we do have explanations for such things, yet some people are still surprised to discover each year that we in Britain, at roughly 53 degrees latitude, occasionally experience weather that some find uncomfortable. Even more remarkably, and despite these explanations, some people think that warmer temperatures are a harbinger of doom. They are ‘extreme weather events’, such voices claim, and they are ‘getting more frequent and intense’, and soon they will rip society from its foundations – just you watch. But what is ‘extreme weather’, and is it really capable of destroying civilisation?...<<<Read More>>>...
