Macron Blames Starmer for Migrant Crisis
Mr Macron, who arrived in Britain on Tuesday for the first state visit by a European head of state since Brexit, was due to announce the new agreement with the Prime Minister at an Anglo-French summit on Thursday.
A deal with Paris would allow Britain to legally return illegal Channel migrants to France for the first time since Brexit.
But Sir Keir is scrambling to rescue the pact after five EU member states bearing the brunt of European arrivals raised concerns that a deal would see them forced to take more migrants.
The Telegraph understands that Mr Macron wants Sir Keir to crack down on the UK’s black market for labour and welfare payments and make family reunification for genuine asylum seekers easier as conditions for the deal.
An Elysée source warned that Mr Macron expected measures “addressing the root causes of the factors that attract people to the United Kingdom”, adding: “These causes must also be addressed by the British.”
They added that France would be willing to discuss ways to stop more small boats leaving its shores during the Anglo-French summit on Thursday.
Mr Macron’s allies have said the ease in which migrants can get under-the-table employment means Britain is viewed as “an El Dorado” – a city of riches, where it is easy to work. …<<<Read More>>>...
Who Killed the Last Giants of America and Why Are They Silent About It?
The Arab traveler of the 10th century, Ibn Fadlan, as a rule, made land expeditions, but nevertheless decided on the only journey by water in his life. He owns a description of the “big-footed” kind inhabitants of an unknown mainland at the other end of the world. Many researchers believe that we are talking about Patagonia.
In total, more than
ten sailors who visited these lands spoke about unusual giants. Their
growth, according to various estimates, ranged from 2.5 meters (8.2 ft)
to 3.5 (11.2 ft). Anthony Knivet told about the corpses discovered by
him and his team, the length of which was almost 12 feet (a little more

ChatGPT is being installed on your phone, even though it may cause psychosis
In a recent development, a May 2025 article titled ‘ChatGPT & Me. ChatGPT Is Me!’ discussed how ChatGPT can emulate the writing style of a specific author. The article highlighted that ChatGPT can generate content in the voice of a particular writer by analysing their style and mimicking it, sparking discussions around the implications of AI-generated content and its impact on content creators and intellectual property.
Additionally, there are various specialised versions of ChatGPT, such as “ChatGPT – Tutor Me,” which provides personalised AI tutoring for subjects like mathematics, science and humanities. There is also “ChatGPT – Write For Me,” which serves as a supercharged writing assistant.
Not only is ChatGPT targeting educational, business and journalistic settings, but it can also aid in the creation of creative content, such as image creation and generating bedtime stories for children. ChatGPT’s applications are diverse and continue to expand (see HERE, HERE and HERE for example). Its proponents claim that these variations demonstrate the versatility of ChatGPT in catering to different user needs and preferences, and, of course, it is a beneficial tool to all.
But as a reader, whom we have called Rupert, points out below, ChatGPT is a mind-manipulating tool that is automatically being installed on smartphones as an “upgrade.” Rupert shared an excerpt from a recent podcast about “ChatGPT psychosis” to demonstrate how dangerous ChatGPT is....<<<Read More>>>...
Overcapacity catastrophe: U.K. pays solar farms to shut down due to grid overload from sunny days
The issue isn’t new. Wind farms in northern Scotland and offshore installations have faced similar shutdown mandates for years, driven by grid infrastructure too frail to handle sudden energy spikes. Now, the rapid growth of solar capacity, particularly in southern England, has replicated the problem. NESO’s records reveal that constraint payments for renewables totaled over £650 million ($882.62 million) this year alone, with projections escalating to £8 billion ($10.86 billion) annually by 2030 unless grid systems are overhauled.
“Britain’s energy bills are surging… constraint payments are a critical and growing factor,” said John Constable, director of the Renewable Energy Foundation (REF), which exposed the solar shutdown data. He noted that renewable subsidies, totaling £200 billion ($271.61 billion) since 2002 and nearly £8,000 ($10,863) per household, have failed to create a self-sustaining market. “Developers still rely on taxpayer and billpayer support,” he added, blaming this dependency for the U.K.’s chronically high energy prices...<<<Read More>>>....

The Consequences You Sow
The influence we wield is infinite. In an effort to internalize our conscious understanding of the nature of cause and effect, we can never truly know how our thoughts, emotions, words, or actions will manifest themselves on the larger universal stage because it is likely that the farthest-reaching effects will fall outside the range of our perception. We can only look to the guidance of our conscience, which will help us determine whether each of our choices is contributing to humanity's illumination or setting the stage for unintended troubles. When we are in doubt, we need only remember that the cultivation of altruism inevitably leads to a harvest of goodwill and grace. Motivated by a sincere desire to spread goodness, we will be naturally drawn to those choices that will help us express our commitment to universal well-being.
Nothing you do, however minor or mundane, is ever exempt from the
rules of cause and effect. From the moment of your birth, you have
served as an agent of change, setting forces beyond your comprehension
into motion across the surface of the Earth and beyond. You can exert
conscious control over this transformative energy simply by examining
your intentions and endeavoring to promote peace, positive energy, and
passion in your ideas and actions. While you may never fully comprehend
the extent of your purposefully heartfelt influence, you can rest
assured that it will be universally felt. (Daily OM)
Starmer’s Migrant Deal on Life Support as EU Intervenes
Sir Keir Starmer is battling to save a one in, one out migrant returns deal with France ahead of a state visit to the UK by Emmanuel Macron starting on Tuesday.
The Prime Minister and French President have been working on an agreement under which France would take back migrants, who have illegally crossed the Channel in small boats, in return for the UK accepting a similar number of asylum seekers from France.
It had been intended as a centrepiece of an Anglo-French summit on Thursday primarily aimed at tackling the small boats crisis.
Record numbers of migrants have crossed the Channel this year. More are expected to cross this week with temperatures set to hit the low 30s from Wednesday.
But on Monday night, government sources said the deal was “complex” and “in the balance”, with negotiations still ongoing.
Last month, Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta and Cyprus wrote to the European Commission expressing concern that the ‘one in, one out’ deal could mean they would face an influx of deported migrants.
Under the EU’s Dublin agreement, migrants can be sent back to the EU country where they first landed.
“We take note – with a degree of surprise – of the reported intention of France to sign a bilateral readmission arrangement,” their letter read.
“If confirmed, such an initiative raises serious concerns for us, both procedurally and in terms of potential implications for other member states, particularly those of first entry. We believe it is essential to clarify whether the agreement may produce any direct or indirect consequences for other member states.”
The European Commission has asked for clarification on the agreement from Paris and London in order to reassure the five southern nations.
However, sources said it was minded to be helpful as the EU and the UK pledged to work on “practical and innovative approaches” to reduce irregular migration as part of the “reset” agreement signed in May.
Brussels needs to check the deal to see if it meets the spirit and
letter of EU law. A European Commission spokesman said: “We are in
contact with the French and the UK authorities to ensure the necessary
clarifications are made.”...<<<Read More>>>...
The UK deep state is real; it conspires to benefit global oligarchs at the expense of the public
In the past, Dominic Cummings, former chief advisor to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, revealed that the deep state, a hybrid of public and private institutions, holds significant power and influence over government decisions.
And, former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has revealed that institutions like the Bank of England and the Office of Budget Responsibility hold significant power and are influenced by private interests.
In the following, Iain Davis explains – by using the example of some mainstream alternative media and Rory Stewart, one of the UK’s deepest of deep state actors and a former chairman of Le Cercle – how deep state actors let out a little bit of the truth but only to then use it to throw the public off their scent.
Stewart, for example, acknowledged that politics is based on lies and that politicians often have no real power, but then claimed that the real power is so diffused it barely functions. The real power is not diffused as Stewart claims; as proved by government policies which consistently benefit the global oligarchs at the expense of the general population....<<<Read More>>>...
Synthetic human DNA project sparks ethical alarms amid fertility crisis
The project’s stated goals include developing therapies for autoimmune disorders, heart failure and aging. Scientists plan to build synthetic DNA segments and insert them into skin cells, a process likened to “rewriting the genetic code from scratch.” By constructing entire chromosomes, researchers hope to unlock insights into how faulty genes trigger diseases and, eventually, repair them.
Yet unease looms. “The genie is out of the bottle,” warns University of Edinburgh geneticist Prof. Bill Earnshaw. “If an organization with the right equipment decided to start synthesizing anything, I don’t think we could stop them.” Ethicist Dr. Pat Thomas adds, “The science can be repurposed to harm and even for warfare.”
Historical precedents, like the 2010 creation of Synthia (the first synthetic bacterium), show progress can outpace ethics. But human DNA, with its 3 billion base pairs, is exponentially more complex. The project’s five-year timeline—culminating in a synthetic chromosome—leaves little room for reflection...<<<Read More>>>...

Another Oil Refinery Bites the Dust
Details about the refinery going into receivership are thin on the
ground because the news has only just emerged and the company is
privately owned. But to my ears, the loss of petrochemicals plants
sounds like an echo of the Net Zero policy agenda. The Labour Party came
to power very clearly signalling its intention to destroy what remained
of Britain’s domestic oil and gas sector. Leading the party’s green
chorus, Ed Miliband promised blob lobbyists that there would be “no new
North Sea oil and gas licences” – reversing the preceding government’s
last-minute wobbles on the Net Zero agenda. So impressed with the
Secretary of State were the Just Stop Oil collective, they cited his
policy as the reason for winding down their operations....<<<Read More>>>...

Starmer has signed up to the UN’s agreement to raise taxes in the UK
Essentially, the UN is attempting to fund its nefarious Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals through domestic taxes.
According to The Telegraph, the UK government, led by Sir Keir Starmer, has endorsed the United Nations’ (“UN’s”) Sevilla Commitment, a global agreement that calls for greater environmental levies and “gender-responsive taxation.” The Conservative Party has criticised it for potentially making it harder for a future government to reverse Labour’s tax rises.
The agreement, signed by 192 countries at a summit in Seville, Spain, contains 42 references to taxation, including specific mentions of taxes on “high net-worth individuals,” tobacco, alcohol, natural resources and pollution, as well as promoting higher taxes on unhealthy products such as sugary drinks....<<<Read More>>>...

This Is How Mass Migration Will Change Britain Beyond Recognition
Unless things change, and change fast, the population of the UK will be permanently transformed by mass immigration. White Britons will become a minority by the year 2063. The foreign-born and their immediate descendants will become a majority by 2079. And nearly one in four people in the UK will be following Islam by the year 2100; this figure would rise to around one in three among under-40s.
Many people struggle to make sense of the pace and scale of these changes. They ask how a nation can be transformed this fast without the consent of the governed.
But, last week, brand new data from the Office for National Statistics has made it abundantly clear that these trends are already well underway.
The findings are indeed shocking: more than one in three babies that were born in England and Wales last year have mothers who were not born in the UK; this rises to more than 40% for babies in England, a record high and up by nearly 10-points in less than a decade. …
This issue goes to the heart of our democracy: we didn’t vote for this. We have a political system and a ruling class that is no longer responsive to an electorate that has, for much of the last thirty years, been consistent in asking for less immigration and slower demographic change. …
Mass immigration also matters, secondly, for a more profound reason: it changes how we talk and think about things like Britishness and Englishness. With the foreign-born and their descendants now forecast to become a majority on these islands by the year 2079, the country will now be reshaped around a population that has a much “thinner” sense of national identity. …<<<Read More>>>...

Yogurt delivers a concentrated dose of nutrients that support digestion, immunity and overall health. Depending on the type (whole, low-fat, Greek or Skyr), its nutritional benefits include:
- Protein to support muscle repair. Greek yogurt offers nearly double the protein of regular yogurt.
- Probiotics like bifidobacteria and lactobacillus to improve gut health and immunity.
- Calcium and vitamin D for bone strength.

Start Today
It is difficult to understand, even with hindsight, how the choices we have made have added up to our current situation, but it is a good idea to examine the story we tell ourselves. If we tend to regard ourselves as having failed, this will block our ability to succeed. We have the power to change the story we tell ourselves by acknowledging that in the past, we did our best, and we exhibited many positive qualities and had many fine moments on our path to the present moment. We also can recognize that we have learned from our experiences, and this will help us with our current choices.
When we do this kind of work on how we view our past self, we make it
possible for the future to be based on a positive self-assessment. This
inner shift may allow us to get out of the cycle that’s been keeping us
stuck. Now we can declare our intentions to the universe, knowing that
we have done the inner work necessary to allow our lives to change. Let
today be the day to end cycles and enter into a new way of being. (Daily OM)
The Renewable Industry’s Dirty Little Secret Has Just Been Exposed
Electricity made from renewable sources is not as ‘cheap’ as its advocates sometimes claim. It evidently cannot survive without billions annually in tax credits.
That’s the message from the latest skirmish over America’s renewable energy future, where the House and Senate have unveiled duelling visions for the rollback of energy tax credits – each with its own tempo and tone. The vitriolic reaction from the green lobby, and the predictions of disaster for renewables should any of these changes be passed into law, have exposed just how economically unsustainable even the fiercest backers of these energy sources clearly accept them to be.
Supporters of renewable energy have assured us for years that the wind blows and the sun shines free of charge. But although these technologies have received hundreds of billions in subsidies globally over the past 20 years, proponents still demand more – for a few years, we’re told, until renewables can stand on their own feet.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said: “Eliminating these tax credits radically and irresponsibly rolls back all the progress we have made in recent years. It turns America’s clean energy boom into a bust.”
But the boom was always something of an illusion. It is often asserted that electricity in the United States made with wind and solar is less expensive than electricity made by natural gas and coal. But rather than declining, average American electricity prices have risen considerably over the past 20 years as wind and solar have entered the electricity mix.
One dirty little secret is that, on a state-by-state basis, nine out of the top 10 states in electricity prices in the United States in 2024 required renewable energy as part of their electricity mix. The bottom 10 states generally did not require renewable energy.
It can cost utility companies more to provide people with electricity using intermittent sources than continuous sources such as natural gas, coal and nuclear power. The utility company is likely to need to put other energy sources in place, to provide back-up should demand not be met when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine. …
Taxpayers are paying multiple times for renewables. In their electricity bills, they pay not only for wind and solar, but for the backups to the wind and solar. In their tax bills, they pay for the energy tax credits. They also give up faster economic growth when electricity prices rise....<<<Read More>>>....
Central banker tells his nephew: We control the press and the politicians
Harry was leaving the Bank of England just as the global banksters were taking it over. Perhaps he sensed as much? The late 1960s and early 1970s were a high-point for British culture and living standards and it was to be all downhill from 1972 on, with the descent into de-industrialisation, the Heath/Wilson battle for the coal mines, the so-called IMF financial crisis which some economists believe was really a form of US bullying. Britain was being sabotaged.
In 1930, Pilkington married Rosamond Margaret, daughter of Royal Army Medical Corps Colonel Henry Davis Rowan of Rathmore, Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland. Pilkington was known for his “warm-hearted personality”; when a young couple moved in nearby, they decided to grow roses but lacked the experience in pruning. The wife was acquainted with Pilkington’s gardener at Windle Hall, and made a phone call; the then-Lady Pilkington answered, telling her, “I’ll pass the message on, but Harry prunes all ours”- within the hour, Pilkington arrived at the couple’s house by bicycle, equipped with pruning shears. Even as a Governor of the Bank of England, Pilkington cycled around London, “to the delight and consternation of those who knew him.”
Then Justin Walker explains how he became interested in the money system, having an uncle who was a governor of the Bank of England from the 1950s to the 1970s, Sir Harry Pilkington. Harry explained to the young Justin, aged 16, that the bankers controlled the press and the politicians here in Britain, so not to believe either. Justin goes on to explain what a propagandised Britain we live in, with the rights of juries to reject bad laws and find people not guilty if they disagree with the law. At the heart of it all is the system of money creation and what is effectively a power cult, which is heading for a corporate tyranny and Orwellian future.

CO2 revolutionizes greenhouse farming revolution globally, decentralizing the food supply
Key points:
- CO2 is a plant nutrient, not a "pollutant," and greenhouse growers deliberately inject it (up to 1000 ppm) to boost yields by 80% or more.
- China, Spain, and the U.S. are leading a greenhouse farming revolution, leveraging CO2 to grow food in deserts and urban wastelands—proof that emissions can feed the world.
- While the EPA shuts down power plants in the name of "climate change," farmers beg for more CO2 to combat global food shortages.
- Rising atmospheric CO2 (now ~420 ppm) is replenishing levels that were far higher during Earth’s most fertile epochs—long before SUVs existed.
- The climate cult’s war on CO2 is a war on human survival, sabotaging food security to advance a globalist control agenda....<<<Read More>>>...

Met Office Caught Deliberately Choosing an Unrealistic Scenario to Predict Climate Doomsday
The Met Office exists to forecast the weather. But increasingly it seems bored by the day job so it likes to lecture us about climate change. And here it seems to have been embarrassingly duped by activists. Go on its climate pages and you find a forecast for the year 2070, that summers will be between one and six degrees warmer and “up to” 60% drier, depending on the region. A lot of wriggle room in those caveats, note.
Then it admits: “We base these changes on the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario.” Aha! Unbelievably, shockingly, this national forecasting body has chosen as its base case for the future of weather a debunked, highly implausible set of assumptions about the world economy that was never intended to be used this way.
RCP8.5 is one of five projected futures for the world economy this century, dreamt up by economists. Here is what it assumes. First, the world becomes addicted to coal, burning 10 times – yes, 10 times! – as much coal in 2100 as we did in 2000 and even using coal to make fuel for aircraft and cars. Yes: that is really what it says. It projects that fully half of all the world’s energy will be supplied by coal in 2100.
Second, it assumes that the world population will have swelled to 12 billion people by 2100, way more than any demographer thinks is likely. Third, it assumes that innovation will somehow dry up so there’s hardly any new technology to make our lives more fuel-efficient – and we won’t even try to cut emissions. In short, this scenario is barking mad.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Carbon Brief, an activist website, has to say: “The creators of RCP8.5 had not intended it to represent the most likely ‘business as usual’ outcome. … Its subsequent use as such represents something of a breakdown in communication between energy systems modellers and the climate modelling community.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The Invisible Leash
The philosophical sleight-of-hand is breathtaking. Ive frames their goal as building “a product that uses A.I. to create a computing experience that is less socially disruptive than the iPhone”—but this misses what’s actually being built. As I explored in my analysis of the Internet of Bodies, we’re witnessing “biometric colonization, where bodily data is extracted and controlled in ways that echo the resource extraction of colonial empires.” The Altman-Ive device represents the consumer-friendly face of this same extractive logic.

We’ll come to the bigger story behind this image in due course, but the ‘optics’ of the moment, as the SpAds would put it, were too precious and too apposite not to memorialise. This is the nakedly visible representation not just of an individual in a spot of bother, but of an entire political order coming to an end. While all developed states are heading for economic, political, moral and spiritual crises, Britain is the leader of the pack. Its governing regime, the structure by which the ‘some’ have ruled the ‘many’ since 1997, is clapped out and beyond rescue. It has no ideas and it has, to use that old Match of the Day-ism, lost the dressing room. And one can almost see this realisation in Reeves’ expression – even while recognising that she may have had more personal reasons for her tears.
The reason why it is Britain that is at the cutting edge of global

Millions of websites to get ‘game-changing’ AI bot blocker
The new system is being rolled out by internet infrastructure firm, Cloudflare, which hosts around a fifth of the internet.
Eventually, sites will be able to ask for payment from AI firms in return for having their content scraped.
Many prominent writers, artists, musicians and actors have accused AI firms of training systems on their work without permission or payment.
In the UK, it led to a furious row between the government and artists including Sir Elton John over how to protect copyright.
Cloudflare’s tech targets AI firm bots – also known as crawlers – programmes that explore the web, indexing and collecting data as they go. They are important to the way AI firms build, train and operate their systems.
So far, Cloudflare says its tech is active on a million websites.
Roger Lynch, chief executive of Condé Nast, whose print titles include GQ, Vogue, and The New Yorker, said the move was “a game-changer” for publishers.

Reeves in Tears as Starmer Refuses to Guarantee She Will Stay in Job
Sir Keir Starmer failed to repeat a guarantee that Rachel Reeves will remain in her role as Chancellor for the whole of Labour’s first term in power as the Prime Minister remained under huge pressure over his welfare bill climbdown.
Kemi Badenoch took aim at a visibly emotional Ms Reeves during Prime Minister’s Questions and labelled the Chancellor a “human shield” for Sir Keir’s “incompetence”.
The Chancellor could be seen wiping tears from her face during PMQs although the exact reason why was not immediately clear.
Downing Street promised in January this year that Ms Reeves would remain as Chancellor for the duration of the five year parliament.
Mrs Badenoch asked Sir Keir to repeat the commitment.
Gesturing towards Ms Reeves, the Tory leader said: “She looks absolutely miserable. She looks absolutely miserable. Labour MPs are going on the record saying that the Chancellor is toast and the reality is that she is a human shield for his incompetence.
“In January he said that she would be in post until the next election. Will she really?”
Sir Keir said: “She certainly won’t [directed at Mrs Badenoch]. I have to say I am always cheered up when she asks me questions or responds to a statement because she always makes a complete mess of it and shows just how unserious and irrelevant they are.”
