Disappearance of Pain, Exit From The Body and More: Stages Through Which The Dying Go
Many doctors have encountered the phenomenon when a person who has been in a state of clinical death talks about strange visions, sounds or even smells that he saw, heard or felt in those moments when he was already considered a corpse.
Experts call this a near-death experience. Alas, but most doctors consider all this to be just “features of a dying brain.”
Fortunately, there are doctors who believe that there is something more mysterious here than the agony of neurons. Among them is Dr. Kathryn Mannix, who specializes in palliative care (care for the terminally ill and dying people).
“In my humble experience, death is probably not as scary as you would expect. Death, like birth, is really just a process. As the years go by, people just get more and more tired, they sleep more and stay awake less.” says Mannix....<<<Read More>>>...
The metabolic “sweet spot”: Scientists identify precise nightly sleep target for better blood sugar control
The metabolic sweet spot is calculated at about seven hours and nineteen minutes nightly.
Both insufficient and excessive sleep are linked to increased insulin resistance.
Weekend catch-up sleep can backfire, especially for those already sleeping enough on weekdays.
Sleep is an active metabolic lever, as crucial as diet and exercise for preventing diabetes.
Forget counting calories or logging miles for a moment. The most powerful tool for metabolic health might be sitting on your nightstand, not in your kitchen or gym. Groundbreaking new research has delivered a precise prescription for sleep, identifying a specific nightly duration that appears to best protect against insulin resistance, the silent precursor to type 2 diabetes. The findings challenge conventional wisdom and offer a startlingly simple, no-cost strategy for millions.
The study, published in the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care, analyzed data from thousands of adults. Researchers sought to understand the direct relationship between weekday sleep duration and insulin sensitivity, measured by a marker called the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR). What they discovered was not a linear "more is better" rule, but a clear golden mean.
The data revealed an inverted U-shaped relationship. Insulin sensitivity improved as sleep increased, but only up to a point. After that peak, more sleep was actually associated with worsening insulin resistance. The apex of that curve, the metabolic sweet spot, was calculated to be 7.32 hours per night. That translates to 7 hours and 19 minutes....<<<Read More>>>...
BREAKING: Britain to Get Islamophobia Tsar
The Spectator has been leaked a draft copy of ‘Protecting What Matters’, a document outlining Labour’s new cohesion strategy which is to be unveiled in a cross Government push next week.
The 47-page paper features a crackdown on extremism and names Islamists as the biggest threat to community cohesion. It also outlines fresh demands that new arrivals in Britain seek to integrate and speak good English, described as a “fundamental basis for participating in society and an expectation of those who wish to call the UK home”. It states: “Those who come here must make a genuine effort to integrate into and engage with our shared way of life.” The last census found that more than a million people could not speak English well or at all.
The report states clearly that Islamists are responsible for three-quarters of the police’s counterterror workload and 94% of all terror-related deaths in the past 25 years. The plan also rejects calls, predominantly from British Muslims, for blasphemy laws in the UK.
Following the case of the religious studies teacher at Batley Grammar school, who was forced into hiding after showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, the document promises to “stand against those who try to intimidate, threaten and harass others because they are offended by so-called “blasphemy”. We do not recognise blasphemy law in the UK.”
Further powers will be established to close extremist charities and suspend trustees with “unspent hate crime convictions”, to “strengthen monitoring” of non-violent extremism in universities and to exclude hate preachers from the UK. As part of this, there will be rules to ensure that “public bodies do not confer legitimacy, funding or influence on extremist groups”.
But the plans will also raise alarm bells on free speech by outlining new rules to tackle “divisive content” and “ensure trusted news sources are prominent”. Critics fear these measures will be used to silence critics of Islamists or even TV channels like GB News which some Labour people view as too Right-wing. …
The creation of a “special representative on anti-Muslim hostility” is likely to give a prominent platform to an activist voice. Their job will be to “champion efforts across the UK to tackle hostility and hatred directed at Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim”.
Alongside that is a new definition of anti-Muslim hatred, which has been watered down to avoid defining Muslims as a race, but which will still condemn “the prejudicial stereotyping of Muslims, as part of a collective group with set characteristics, to stir up hatred against them, irrespective of their actual opinions, beliefs or actions as individuals”. Critics think this will create a blasphemy law by the back door. ...<<<Read More>>>...
The NHS is increasingly adopting AI receptionists
The prevailing excuse for needing the NHS to adopt AI is long waiting times. The Tony Blair Institute claims AI is required because patients are frequently put into the wrong queue by incompetent NHS staff.
The NHS is increasingly adopting AI receptionists. These AI systems are part of a broader NHS strategy to use AI for appointment scheduling, test result notifications, referral analysis and triage.
It is claimed the move is to improve patient access, reduce missed appointments and free up staff time for clinical care. Unsurprisingly, patients and staff have expressed concerns about reduced human interaction and over-reliance on technology, emphasising the need for more doctors and face-to-face care.
Apart from concerns about the quality of patient care, the following are AI receptionists that are being trialled or used by the NHS, which goes some way in highlighting another danger of digitalised socialised medicine – use and abuse of the system by controligarchs who think the world is overpopulated. Firstly, a brief history of how we got here....<<<Read More>>>....

Years of behavioral conditioning have replaced your reality with a simulation you never consented to. Once you see the six layers of control operating beneath every headline, every outrage cycle, every political drama — you cannot unsee them. Unsettled is exactly how you're supposed to feel right now. Architecture — not individuals, not parties, not villains — is what this video exposes. Reality was never taken from you by force. It was substituted so gradually you called it normal. Every emotional reaction you've ever had to the news, to politics, to social media — was engineered.

Our World is a “Matrix”. But not Digital, Scientists Says
In the fourth part of The Matrix, which was released recently, people play the role of “batteries”, giving their energy to machines. However, the Swedish-born philosopher Nick Bostrom believes that obtaining energy is unlikely to be the reason for creating a large-scale simulation, since maintaining human organisms would then take much more energy than they could generate....<<<Read More>>>...
The Window Is Closing: How the Iran Conflict Just Unleashed a Global Famine Trigger
The Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy and fertilizer shipments, is effectively closed. This single act has severed a massive portion of the world's natural gas supply, the foundational feedstock for modern agriculture.
If nothing changes, the price of staple foods in American and European grocery stores is projected to skyrocket by 8-20% by the end of this year, with far worse to follow in 2027 as depleted reserves and failed harvests compound the crisis.
The cascade from energy to fertilizer to crop yields has already begun, yet policymakers in Washington and other Western capitals appear blind to the coming consequences. As one analysis starkly warns, a military conflict 'could be devastating' for global nitrogen and phosphate markets. Experts are sounding the alarm, but the political class, perhaps driven by foreign allegiances or sheer hubris, is failing to grasp that this war has just pulled the trigger on a global famine. The window to avert mass deprivation is closing by the hour...<<<Read More>>>...
No patient should ever have to make an appointment to see a GP
He argues that appointments systems are destructive to healthcare. It causes chaos and overloads hospitals and ambulance services. Appointments systems benefit bureaucrats, not patients.
Many years ago, in the dim and distant past, when people still believed the world was round and that germs were real, I began work as a junior partner in general practice. I was in my mid-twenties, not long out of university and as a green as it is possible to be without being grass. Doctors went to prison for killing people and wars were things other people started.
My predecessor, who had operated what had effectively been a single-handed practice in the downstairs portion of his house, worked within a small group of doctors who shared night and weekend on-call duties. The other doctors in the group all ran appointments systems. My predecessor did not. And so, when I began work, I didn’t have an appointments system either.
Everything seemed to work well....<<<Read More>>>...
Miliband Led “Petulant and Legalistic” Cabinet Revolt Against Trump’s Iran War
In a meeting on Friday ahead of the strikes, Miliband, Rachel Reeves and Yvette Cooper are understood to have strongly opposed British support for pre-emptive military action, which they believed would be illegal.
Sir Keir Starmer backed them, and resisted pressure from Donald Trump to allow the US to fly bombing runs to Iran from RAF bases in Gloucestershire and the Chagos Islands.
The Prime Minister changed his position less than 48 hours later and American B-2 stealth bombers are due to arrive at Diego Garcia, the military base in the Chagos Islands, in the next few days to fly “limited, defensive” missions.
Trump has warned that major US strikes are still to come, as Iran continues to attack Western allies around the Gulf and the Middle East.
On Wednesday, one missile was intercepted heading towards a Turkish base hosting US troops, threatening to drag another Nato ally into the war.
The US also sank an Iranian warship with a submarine near Sri Lanka, the first such strike since Britain’s attack on the General Belgrano during the Falklands war.
But domestic and international pressure is building on Trump to explain his strategy for the war, with Germany warning that regime change cannot happen without boots on the ground.
Miliband, the Energy Secretary, voiced his strong opposition to the impending US airstrikes at a National Security Council meeting on Friday, convened to discuss the potential impact of the conflict on Britain’s energy supply....<<<Read More>>>...

Staying Grounded and Present
With this constant mental noise, it’s easy to lose touch with the quiet beauty, clarity, and steadiness available in the present moment. Yet presence — the ability to fully inhabit your life in the moment as it’s unfolding — is one of the most important foundations for emotional harmony, mental clarity, and lasting well-being.
Experiencing more calm starts with small, ordinary steps — things like bringing your attention to the soothing warmth of water as you wash your hands, savoring the textures and flavors of a delicious meal, and pausing to breathe, stretch, or move your body in the middle of a busy day. All of these practices help support a more regulated nervous system and reduce tension for a greater connection to the comforting peace found in the here and now. (Daily OM)
The Unthinkable Is Imminent: Why I Believe a Radiological False Flag Is Being Prepared for American Soil
I am writing this not as a doomer, but as someone who has spent decades investigating the hidden hands that shape our world. The evidence I have compiled, from historical records to current geopolitical maneuvers, points to a chilling conclusion: elements within the globalist power structure may be actively preparing a catastrophic false flag operation on American soil. The goal is to manufacture the emotional fury necessary to launch a genocidal ground invasion against Iran in order to appease Zionist Israel.
In my view, this is not a distant possibility, but a rapidly approaching probability. Donald Trump, having won the 2024 election, is now President, and Republicans control Congress, but they are not in charge. As I will argue, the entire federal apparatus has been so thoroughly captured by Zionist interests that it now functions as a subsidiary, willing to betray its own citizens to serve a foreign agenda. The patterns of deception are too clear, the logic too cold, and the stakes too high to ignore...<<<Read More>>>...
How to Keep Your Privacy and Stay in Control Online in 2026
Let’s start by asking what an Apple developer, a French judge, Polish trains, Russian Porsche owners and the Iranian people have in common? All have suffered on account of depending on technology they did not truly own. If you have an Android or Apple phone or a Windows computer, read on, because you too could experience something similar.
The Apple developer was locked out from his personal files and professional platform when his company objected to a gift card top-up. The judge was locked out from all his accounts with American companies, including email and card payments, after annoying Donald Trump. As for the Iranian people, had their internet connectivity not been reliant upon state-controlled physical infrastructure then the regime could not have achieved an almost total connectivity cut-off. Had it not been for that news blackout, I doubt the regime would have dared to conduct such a murderous suppression of protesters, and I expect the international community would have come to the people’s aid much earlier.
So what does owning technology amount to? Ownership, as a concept in philosophy, psychology or law, may have many definitions. But where technology is concerned, real ownership is having the ability to exert full control over what a device can do: the ability to both make and undo changes to its functionality. Ownership means being able to do all that without needing anyone else’s permission. Many smart-home appliance buyers have discovered that anything which insists on phoning-home to a corporate server, even if it is only for setup or after a factory reset, isn’t practically yours, however much you paid for it.....<<<Read More>>>...
European Commission is expanding its dictatorship
One area where the Commission has been taking assertive steps is foreign policy. It has created its own parallel roles to the EU High Representative’s mandate for defence, space and the Middle East.
The EU High Representative is appointed by the European Council, which comprises the heads of state or government of all EU member states. It follows that the Representative’s mandate is given/approved by EU countries.
Usurping the EU High Representative’s role is nothing short of a power grab by Ursula von der Leyen and her European Commission.
According to Article 15 of the Treaty of the European Union: “The European Council shall provide the Union with the necessary impetus for its development and shall define the general political directions and priorities thereof.” While the Treaties originally intended the European Council – the forum of the Heads of State or Government of the Member States – to be the primary decision-making body of the European Union, in recent years the European Commission has taken the lead.
The European Commission’s growing power – at the expense of the Member States’ competences – is well documented. Thomas Fazi of MCC Brussels claimed more than a year ago that, “We have witnessed a game-changing transfer of sovereignty from the national to the supranational level, at the expense of democratic control and accountability.”....<<<Read More>>>...

What are UFOs and Why Do They Crash: Exploring Theories
+++++++++++++
The phenomenon of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) crashing on Earth has been reported for decades, but no definitive explanation has been given.
Some people believe that these are alien spacecrafts that malfunction or are shot down by human or extraterrestrial forces. Others think that these are secret military projects that go wrong or are part of a cover-up.
Here we will explore four possible theories that attempt to explain why UFOs crash on Earth, and suggest some other theories that have been proposed.
We will also try to evaluate which theory is the most plausible based on the available evidence and logic....<<<Read More>>>...
From ancient remedy to modern medicine cabinet: The resurgent power of oregano
Oregano, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, is a rich source of potent antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds like carvacrol and thymol.
Research indicates concentrated oregano oil exhibits
antiviral, antibacterial and anti-parasitic properties, with potential
against drug-resistant pathogens.
The herb's bioactive
compounds are studied for anti-inflammatory effects and potential
anti-cancer mechanisms, though human trials are needed.
While
culinary use of fresh or dried oregano provides nutrients, therapeutic
applications typically involve supplements or extracts and require
medical consultation.
Oregano oil is highly concentrated;
it can interact with medications, affect nutrient absorption and is not
recommended for pregnant women.
The health benefits of oregano are largely attributed to its high concentration of volatile compounds called terpenes, primarily carvacrol and thymol. These compounds, which give the herb its pungent aroma and flavor, act as the plant's natural defense system. In humans, they exhibit a phenomenon known as hormesis, where a mild stressor triggers a beneficial adaptive response. In laboratory studies, these terpenes have demonstrated significant antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor properties. Oregano is also a source of nutrients, including vitamin K, iron, calcium and chlorophyll, contributing to its overall nutritional profile....<<<Read More>>>...
Europe is Finally Waking Up to the Fact That China Has No Intention of Letting Climate Action Harm its Industries
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe,” said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on his return from China. No, wait, that was the ‘replicant’ android Roy Batty played by Rutger Hauer in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.
In no less a tragic scene, however, Merz might just as well have been recounting his experience of galactic travel. He hadn’t seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, but he had seen a synchronised robot combat-dance and the eastern industrial rival’s advanced manufacturing capabilities. “We are no longer productive enough,” he told other European policymakers ahead of his trip. “If you come from China, ladies and gentlemen, then you have an even clearer feeling that with work-life balance and a four-day week, prosperity in our country cannot be maintained in the long-run.”
In another universe,
and not one governed by implausible sci-fi premisses, it could now be
Germany hosting impressive displays of robotic prowess.
The
Energiewende – high-tech industries powered by Gaia’s Providence – was
the less plausible science fiction plotline Germany chose for itself. It
turns out that you can’t have nice things if making nice things becomes
too expensive a process, and other makers of nice things have lower
costs, such as labour and energy.
And it turns out that if you don’t make nice things, then you can’t do nice things, such as maintain “work-life balance” and fund public services. For too long, and across Europe, the concepts of values and principles have been estranged from all that has made them possible. Armies of numpty wonks in London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Rome and beyond, never stopped to wonder, ‘What is the relationship between those cooling towers and our social-democratic, progressive, liberal outlook?’ Instead, they claimed that the next stage in human development required blowing them up....<<<Read More>>>...
Are We in a Free Speech Recession?
A report by the Future of Free Speech project, titled The Free Speech Recession Hits Home, argues that established democracies are experiencing measurable declines in protections for speech once considered firmly safeguarded. The report contends that restrictions once associated primarily with authoritarian regimes are now expanding across Western countries under the banner of combating hate, misinformation, and extremism.
Hate speech laws are being broadly interpreted all over the Western world, and their continued expansion is reshaping the boundaries of lawful expression.
The Future of Free Speech report documents what it describes as a “recession” in expressive liberty within democratic states. According to the findings, more than half of the world’s democracies have seen a decline in protections for speech in recent years, particularly in areas related to hate speech, disinformation, and offensive expression.
The report highlights that while Western Europe has long maintained hate speech statutes, enforcement intensity and definitional scope have broadened. In several countries, the threshold for what constitutes unlawful speech has shifted from direct incitement to broader categories such as insult, denigration, or emotional harm.
The organization’s earlier 2020 Global Handbook on Hate Speech Laws catalogues dozens of jurisdictions with criminal penalties for speech deemed hateful, blasphemous, or defamatory, noting wide variation in definitions and enforcement standards.
The cumulative effect, according to the researchers, is a tightening legal environment in which individuals face increasing uncertainty over what speech may trigger prosecution. ...<<<Read More>>>....

The Real Story of Gorton is Empty Ballot Boxes
It was built at the height of Islamic power in Europe. A civilisational statement in stone. Geometry, poetry, water, order. Then the tide turned. Catholic Spain pushed south. The Reconquista ended. The Cross replaced the Crescent. History moved.
Empires rise. Civilisations compete. Cultures dominate, then retreat.
Which brings us, improbably, to Gorton and Denton.
Last week wasn’t some glorious Green triumph that will go down in the political history books. In fact I suspect the UK Green movement will go the same way as Greta Thunberg: a burst of teenage certainty followed by adult irrelevance.
The real story in Gorton and Denton is not the Green victory, but the collective yawn. Turnout limped to 47.6%, indistinguishable from the last General Election, which now passes for respectable. More than half the constituency said “sod your politics” and declined to participate in the great democratic ritual.
Run the numbers and it looks even thinner. The newly elected ‘representative’ commands the active support of roughly one in five adults in her patch. That is not democratic legitimacy. It is arithmetic masquerading as authority – otherwise known as electoral larceny.
This is a symptom of terminal political ennui. For decades those in charge have hollowed out politics so completely that the very idea of democratic legitimacy is now a comedy sketch.
For generations Britain has told itself a comforting story: that liberal democracy is culturally neutral. That it floats above religion, heritage, historical memory. That you can dilute the cultural foundations of a society and the political structure will remain untouched.
It won’t....<<<Read More>>>...
Nature’s Pharmacy: 10 Powerful Foods That Eradicate Parasites and Reclaim Your Health
Far from being a problem exclusive to developing nations, parasitic infections are alarmingly common in the modern world. Contaminated food and water, contact with pets, and even everyday environmental exposures serve as vectors. Common symptoms like chronic fatigue, digestive distress, unexplained weight loss, and immune dysfunction are frequently misdiagnosed by conventional medicine, which often overlooks parasitic causes. This medical oversight leaves millions suffering from unexplained ailments while the true culprits continue to drain their health.

Online “child safety” is a ruse to enable data collection and surveillance of the entire population
These days, we are seeing a strong push for enhanced government surveillance over digital communication, from Australia and the United Kingdom to Ireland, Germany and Spain, whether by imposing a universal digital identification requirement for accessing social media, or spying on citizens’ private chats.
The leading reason being offered for enhanced surveillance and data collection is the protection of children from online harms, such as pornography and social media addiction. But given recent experiences of shameless government overreach rationalised by “solidarity” and protection from disease, any move by government to claim enhanced powers of surveillance over our personal data and communications should be viewed with suspicion.
Sometimes governments leverage citizens’ deepest fears and most noble aspirations to convince them to expand State prerogatives at the expense of personal liberties. This is not a hypothesis, but a historical reality, evidenced in a vivid way by the UK’s psych-op operation to guilt citizens into taking the shot, and the UK’s Health Secretary boasting in private correspondence that announcing a new, more virulent variant of Covid would “frighten the pants off everyone.”...<<<<Read More>>>...

Embrace Your Personal Power
Ultimately, only you can know how the different options impact your daily life and your long-term well-being. You have the power to competently weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each selection. Even when you feel incapable of making a decision, your inner wisdom and intuitive mind will give you sound counsel if you have faith in yourself. Try to come to your own conclusions before seeking the guidance of others, and even then, treat their suggestions as supplementary information rather than votes to be tallied. Before making your choice, release your fear of making the wrong one. Perceived mistakes can lead you down wonderful and unexpected paths that expose you to life-changing insights. If you can let go of the notion that certain choices are utterly right while others are entirely wrong, you will be less tempted to invite others to take the reins of your destiny.
When your choices are your own, you will be more likely to accept and be satisfied with the outcome of those choices. Your decisions will be a pure reflection of your desires, your creativity, your awareness, and your power. As you learn to make informed and autonomous choices, you will gain the freedom to consciously direct the flow of your life without interference. (Daily OM)

The report begins with a review of what went wrong. If there is anything interesting in this long-winded preamble through the history of Britain’s energy policy failures, it is nothing that could not have been read on these pages or offered by Net Zero Watch and the Global Warming Policy Foundation, or individual voices such as Kathryn Porter and David Turver, among many others.

Humor and laughter: Natural therapies for mood and emotional health
A holistic approach is most effective, combining exercise, sunlight exposure, quality sleep, stress management, meditation and targeted nutritional support.
Nutrition plays a key role in mood regulation, with tryptophan-rich foods, complex carbohydrates, omega-3s, probiotics and key vitamins and minerals supporting serotonin and overall brain health.
Herbs, natural compounds and laughter can enhance emotional well-being, helping reduce stress hormones, boost endorphins and support resilience without harmful side effects.
Emotional empowerment and spiritual practices further strengthen mental health, reinforcing that a comprehensive, natural strategy can promote long-term well-being and personal resilience.
In today's fast-paced world, chronic low mood, depression and anxiety have become increasingly common, affecting millions globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression is projected to be the second most prevalent disease worldwide.

Addressing emotional health requires a holistic approach that combines lifestyle, nutrition, supplements and even the natural power of humor and laughter.....<<<Read More>>>...
Ed Miliband’s net zero crusade is resulting in farmland loss and trillions in hidden costs
The petition argues that Miliband’s strong advocacy for renewables may undermine his impartiality in making decisions on individual projects, including those involving compulsory purchase.
The issue highlights a growing divide between the UK government’s clean-energy goals and the concerns of rural communities, who are seeing large areas of land being allocated for solar farms and other renewable energy projects, threatening food production and rural identity.
To destroy rural areas and rural life, Miliband’s net zero crusade is going to cost taxpayers and bill payers trillions through levies, subsidies, grid upgrades and potential stranded assets.
A July 2025 Change.org petition, now approaching 6,000 signatures, lays bare a fundamental irony at the centre of British energy policy.
The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Ed Miliband, who has evangelised renewables as “the cheapest and fastest” route to energy independence and prosperity, retains final quasi-judicial authority over Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (“NSIPs”) that exist to realise precisely that vision, prompting the question of whether such certainty can coexist with the impartiality the law demands.
Authored by Catherine Makinson for the Lincolnshire Against Needless Destruction group, the petition invokes the apparent bias test from Porter v Magill [2002] UKHL 67. Would a fair-minded observer conclude there is a real possibility of partiality?
It argues that Miliband’s sustained advocacy, evident in his July 2024 Guardian article, September 2024 Energy UK keynote and July 2025 onshore wind strategy foreword, where renewables are repeatedly framed as the unequivocal economic and security panacea, amounts to predetermination, undermining open-minded assessment of individual applications, including those involving compulsory purchase....<<<Read More>>>....

Accepting and Releasing Emotions
Dealing with powerful emotions can be challenging, especially when we are going through chaotic, sad, or cruel experiences in our lives. Often, it can seem like we have only two options for dealing with our feelings, so they don’t become too overwhelming. We may let our feelings out in an immediate and visceral way, or we may bottle them up by suppressing our emotions inside our bodies.
Most people make the second choice, repressing their feelings in an attempt to deny them. The truth is — there are many positive ways to deal with emotions, and experiencing your negative feelings doesn’t have to constitute a negative experience. Denying your feelings is not only unhealthy for the mind and the body, but it also may rob you of valuable information you could be learning about yourself and your life. Suppressing your emotions can even impede your short-term memory. Acknowledging your feelings can help you better understand them and help you recover naturally from change, stress, and grief.
If you find that facing your feelings head on is proving too difficult during times of emotional distress, you may want to explore alternative ways of expressing them. Otherwise, the emotions you deny could morph into unconscious anger or self-hatred. Expressing your thoughts to friends or family can be helpful. If you don’t feel ready to share them, try giving them words by writing down what you are feeling. Give whatever you are feeling simple words like “livid” or “angry” or “excited.”
You also can funnel your feelings into a creative outlet, physical exercise, or chores. Even just accepting and speaking your feelings out loud to yourself can be a healing release. In releasing intense emotions, it is most beneficial to acknowledge the feelings, allow yourself to feel them, and let the feelings go. Those who are willing to experience and release their feelings without judgment also find that their lives become less stressful. Breathing deeply, going for a long walk, or doing a constructive task can help you respond to your feelings in a healthy way.
While burying negative or uncomfortable feelings can numb the pain, it also may inevitably dull your ability to experience your more positive and pleasurable feelings. You may find yourself afraid to open up in the future for fear of getting hurt. The feelings we deny aren’t limited to anger and sadness. Suppressing our happiness or excitement can be just as unhealthy. In learning how to express your intense emotions in a healthy way, you are giving yourself the freedom to fully experience the more joyful emotions that come with being alive. (Daily OM)
“We’ll soon learn if aliens are real”: Trump orders War Department UFO disclosure
Critics question Trumps motives, citing delays on other promised disclosures (e.g., Epstein files). Former President Barack Obama's recent acknowledgment of UFO reality ("They're real") fueled debate, though he dismissed conspiracy theories about secret alien facilities.
The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) denies extraterrestrial technology despite military reports of advanced, unexplained aerial objects. Whistleblowers and declassified documents suggest institutional secrecy, reverse-engineering programs and geopolitical control motives.
More than three-fifths of Americans (Pew 2021) believe in extraterrestrial life, raising anticipation for paradigm-shifting revelations. Confirmed UFO/UAP disclosure could reshape science, theology and global power dynamics.
No release date set; Hegseth emphasized cautious transparency to avoid overpromising. The disclosure may either validate long-standing conspiracy theories or deepen government secrecy around the phenomenon.
In a move that has reignited public fascination with extraterrestrial life, President Donald Trump has issued an executive order directing the Department of War to release classified files related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and unidentified flying objects (UFOs). War Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the unprecedented directive, stating that he will review the materials alongside the American public—admitting that the task was not something he expected when taking office.
During a media briefing in Colorado, Hegseth acknowledged the gravity of Trump's order but cautioned against expecting immediate revelations. "I don't want to say in advance how long it will take," he told reporters. "Our department is dealing with this issue. We will fully comply with [Trump's] decree and look forward to providing this information to the president."
When pressed on whether he believes aliens exist, Hegseth remained cautious: "We'll see. I get to do the review and find out along with you." He emphasized that the process would be deliberate, adding, "Wait for the details. It will be a carefully thought-out process. I don't want to make too many promises and [eventually] fail to fulfill them." ...<<<Read More>>>....
The Green Party is Now Just a Thinly Disguised Vehicle For Political Islam
Green was the tint of the Islamic version of Paradise, Jannah, a land of lush gardens, where green birds are promised as vehicles for the atomised souls of faithful suicide-bombers. Tradition has it Muhammad wore a green turban, as conventionally depicted in various drawings of the fellow made by foolhardy dead men. It was an ancient honour of the Ottoman Empire that only direct descendants of the Prophet could don green headgear, and many Islamic nations like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Tower Hamlets have adopted green as the shade of their national flag....<<<Read More>>>...
UK government has been spying on electric vehicle drivers and passengers using mobile phone data
Vehicles are a core component of the Internet of Things (“IoT”). Together with the AI and other technologies, IoT is part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Modern connected cars are equipped with sensors, software and communication technologies that enable them to exchange data with other vehicles, infrastructure, devices and the internet. With 5G connectivity and advanced data analytics, vehicles are evolving into mobile data hubs, making them essential nodes in the broader IoT system. And the integration of IoT in vehicles contributes, in particular, to the development of autonomous driving and smart cities.
As Global Data explains, “While sensors and connectivity are essential enablers for IoT, the real value that is derived from these processes comes from the data. In today’s automotive landscape, data has become a strategic asset … Data has moved from being a byproduct to a core driver of innovation, becoming essential for the progress of autonomous driving, connected cars and AI-enabled features.”...<<<Read More>>>....
