Relief for Your Body and Mind

 Stress and anxiety can show up every day — whether it’s balancing multiple priorities, family obligations, challenges at work, or financial worries that keep us up at night. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to feel like there’s no real pause button or chance to catch your breath. And while taking a moment just for you can feel easier said than done, there are holistic, stress-relieving techniques that can help restore balance to both your body and mind — even in the middle of a busy day.

For instance, a quick session of gentle movement can help your body release excess energy and return to a calmer state. Paced breathing can calm the nervous system and reduce emotional distress. And progressive fascia or muscle stretching can relieve aches and pains in the body and help you let go of the tension you might be holding.

What’s especially comforting is that these wellness methods don’t ask you to change who you are or overhaul your routine. Maybe you have a few minutes in the morning, or a quiet moment at the end of the day that belongs just to you. Adding even one new short, supportive practice can become an anchor — a reminder that calm, clarity, and care are still available to you, one day and one breath at a time. (Daily OM)

The Coming Food Riots in America: Cycles, Collapse, and the Creeping Police State

 Across America, a perfect storm of economic collapse, engineered food shortages, and government overreach is building toward an inevitable explosion of social unrest. The term 'food riot' evokes images of distant, failing nations, but the structural cracks in the U.S. food and financial systems have reached a critical point. A convergence of factors—from manipulated supply chains and hyperinflation to the weaponization of climate policy—has placed basic sustenance out of reach for millions.

Food shortages are no longer a theoretical risk. As noted in web analyses, scenarios where companies like Amazon and Walmart step in as 'food banks' in exchange for government contracts, controlling every bite and charging triple for staples, are being actively modeled. ^[1] This is not merely an economic adjustment; it is a blueprint for corporate serfdom. Simultaneously, the state apparatus is preparing not to solve the hunger crisis, but to manage the resulting public fury through expanded surveillance and force. The stage is set for a domestic conflict where the battleground is the grocery store, and the enemy, in the eyes of the state, will be its own hungry citizens.

The question is no longer if, but when. As one report starkly summarized, 'Hungry people will SNAP in the coming FOOD RIOTS.' This article traces the roots of this impending crisis, from the cyclical forces of nature and history to the deliberate actions of a collapsing empire, and outlines the path toward personal and community resilience in the face of the creeping police state....<<<Read More>>>...

Dale Vince: “Heat Pumps Have Been Mis-Sold”

 Dale Vince, a leading Labour donor, has said that heat pumps don’t “save you money” because they’re inefficient and are being “mis-sold” by the Government. The Telegraph has more.

Heat pumps, which are promoted as a green alternative to traditional gas boilers, form a key part of Ed Miliband’s £15 billion energy plan, which was announced last week.

It aims to install solar panels, heat pumps, double glazing and insulation in five million low-income households, at a £5 billion cost to the taxpayer. Landlords also face a bill of up to £10,000 by 2030 under energy efficiency plans designed to push through upgrades.

But speaking to BBC Politics Live on Tuesday, Vince, the founder of energy firm Ecotricity, said: “I have been using heat pumps for about 20 years, so I know what they can do and what they can’t do.

“I do object to the fairly general narrative that they can save you money, because that is a very rare circumstance. You do need a well-insulated home just to break even.”

Vince, who has in the past funded activist groups including Just Stop Oil, said that to be cost-effective, a heat pump needs to have a coefficient of performance of at least four. Coefficiency performance is the measurement of how much heat is produced per unit of electricity used.

He claimed that for heat pumps in the UK, the average was just 2.8, which meant homeowners tended to see their bills increase by 30%.

Vince said: “That’s the reality. Against that, we have got the mis-selling, I think, of heat pumps.”

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) said that households which installed a heat pump, solar panels and a battery could save as much as £550 a year compared with a gas boiler. A spokesman said that heat pumps can save households as much as £130 a year.

Analysis by the Energy Saving Trust found that those with a newer gas boiler may not see annual savings from installing an air source heat pump. The cost of installing a new heat pump has remained at approximately £13,000, although homeowners can benefit from government grants to reduce the upfront cost....<<<Read More>>>....

Scientists want to use self-amplifying mRNA to vaccinate those who do not want to be vaccinated

 A research paper published earlier this month states that one of the researchers’ aims is to develop a vaccine to overcome vaccine hesitancy.

The method chosen to spread the vaccine among the population is a self-replicating RNA (srRNA) or self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA or sa-mRNA, samRNA), also referred to as replicon vaccines.

This gain-of-function research is being supported by the US military.

Newly published research papers demonstrate that gain-of-function research designed to investigate the effects of deadly pathogens is still continuing. In the course of research, live mice are being exposed to deadly doses of laboratory-built recombinant synthetic H5N1 viruses with codon optimisation, which boosts expression in human cells and cleavage site enhancement linked to viral virulence. Lethal doses of synthetic viral material containing artificial DNA sequences are being forced into animals using lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”) and electrical pulses. The aim of the research is to develop replicon mRNA vaccines and treatment strategies but alarmingly, the work is being partially funded by the US defence establishment and there are ties to multinational pharmaceutical companies. ...<<<Read More>>>...

The Labour Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command

 Well, how will they be able to keep us in our 15 minute cities if they don’t know where we are at all times?

It wouldn’t work, would it? Think!

One of us might inadvertently find ourselves stumbling into one of their climate change averting rewilding zones, or as we used to call it, the countryside.

Home secretary Shabana Mahmood shared her ultimate vision for the UK.

No, not at end to poverty, rising homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, and knife crime, but that “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times”

Someone should tell Shabana that George Orwell’s 1984 was meant to be a work of fiction, not an instruction manual.

Although she’ll probably struggle to hear you over the two minutes of hate, routinely being broadcast from the party, to the peasants.

“The Labour Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” – Ain’t that the truth.

What is happening here is not just reserved for us, and is being conducted in all countries using different excuses, different threats, and different sales pitches, to manufacture consent from their populations.

Global agendas of enslavement tend to be, well, y’know, global.

The UK it seems, is the poster boy to distract the world from what is also being implemented in their own back yard.

It also creates an apathy and a defeatist attitude, because if dystopia can come to Britain, a nation that has built it’s brand as one of democracy and justice, both a myth of course, but that was the perception, then dystopia can take hold anywhere.

As it currently stands, we have an establishment that cancels elections, bans under 16s from social media, meaning a defacto digital ID roll out to prove you are of age, facial recognition and mass AI surveillance infrastructure, the promotion of 15 minute cities and limits on travel, a banning of petrol and diesel cars, meaning only electric vehicles, where the computer is programmed to determine where you can and can’t go, including the ability for the state to physically turn off your car, something that has just been passed in the USA also, the deletion of cash and introduction of programmable CBDCs, meaning the state will be able to control where you spend your money, what you spend your money on, and how long you have to spend your money, meaning an end to personal savings, sweeping police reforms, including an expansion of censorship via the online harms bill, a removal of trial by jury, and the legalisation of state assisted dying.

Lithium: The overlooked mineral that could revolutionize brain health

 Conventional Alzheimer's drugs target symptoms (amyloid plaques) but fail clinically, while lithium—a cheap, natural mineral—shows neuroprotective effects in studies.

Decades of research link lithium deficiency to Alzheimer's, yet it's ignored in favor of expensive, ineffective drugs like Aduhelm.

The medical-industrial complex suppresses lithium because it's unpatentable and threatens Big Pharma's lucrative, failing treatments.

Low-dose lithium orotate enhances cognition, prevents neurodegeneration and stabilizes mood—without the toxicity of high-dose prescriptions.

True brain health requires rejecting pharma-controlled medicine, detoxing from toxins and embracing natural, repurposed therapies like lithium.

For decades, lithium has been pigeonholed as merely a psychiatric drug—prescribed in high doses by mainstream medicine to manage bipolar disorder while ignoring its far broader potential. But emerging research suggests this humble mineral may hold the key to preventing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, offering a natural, low-cost solution that threatens the pharmaceutical industry's profit-driven stranglehold on brain health.

Dr. David Fajgenbaum, a physician-scientist and survivor of a rare immune disease, has become a leading advocate for drug repurposing—the practice of uncovering new uses for existing, often overlooked treatments. His work exposes a critical flaw in modern medicine: the system is rigged to prioritize expensive, patented drugs while ignoring safe, effective and affordable alternatives like lithium....<<<Read More>>>...

The Unsolved Mystery of How Viruses Spread – and Why Germ Theory Isn’t the Whole Answer

 For over a century scientists have struggled to prove viral contagion. There are gaping holes in the current model of viral transmission but these holes are not a reason to throw out the concept of a virus. We need a new model that fits the evidence. Here I set out the evidence for and against the current model and suggest a way to reconcile the apparent contradictions. 

Evidence for viral contagion 

1. Viral genetic material turns up in clusters of sick people. The sequences match. They change over time with new mutations in consistent ways without reverting. Even though testing is not perfect, people with positive tests are far more likely to be sick than not.
2. Viruses have been well described. Even if isolation methods are not flawless, electron microscopy and crystallography have shown fine-grained details including the shape of structures like the surface of the spike protein.
3. At high doses, transmission works. Human challenge trials demonstrate that viral exposure can cause illness when the dose is high enough.
4. Genetic tracing of viruses during outbreaks shows that distinct lineages spread from person to person in predictable clusters, confirming person-to-person transmission.

This evidence explains the mechanism of viral infection. But it does not explain the timing of the waves of infection that are characteristic of many viruses like influenza.

Where the traditional model fails

1. Normal-dose challenge trials often fail. The evidence here is strong: under experimental conditions, exposure frequently does not result in illness. A recent study confirmed this again.
2. Hospital-acquired infections peak at the same time as cases in the community. If spread were primarily driven by close contact, we would expect a lag, as community infections peak then admissions then within hospital infections. But the expected lag does not occur. In fact, hospital-acquired infections peak before the admissions to the hospital.  
3. Waves occur with seasonal regularity. Epidemic peaks in the UK often occur with peak deaths at predictable times of year before falling away for a time:
   • Every early January
   • Often early April
   • Sometimes in July
   • Every late October....<<<Read More>>>...

A Monarch who will not defend The Faith cannot defend the Realm

King Charles III’s engagement with Islam raises questions about his role as a Christian monarch and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. He has drifted from being a Christian monarch to a religious pluralist.

“The tragedy is not that King Charles respects Islam. The tragedy is that he appears increasingly unsure whether Christianity is true. And a Christian kingship without conviction is not progress – it is abdication,” Bishop Ceirion Dewar writes.

The most serious constitutional shifts rarely announce themselves with fanfare. They emerge instead through tone, emphasis and the gradual re-ordering of loyalties – noticed first by those who understand what an office is for, and only later by the wider public. That is where we now find ourselves in relation to King Charles III: not confronting a single speech or gesture in isolation, but recognising a sustained pattern of theological softening that sits uneasily – indeed incompatibly – with the historic vocation of a Christian monarch and Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

This is not a question of personal manners, nor of racial or religious hostility. It is a question of office. Charles is not merely a private citizen with eclectic spiritual interests; he is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England – a role forged in blood, reformation, covenant and national history. What happens, then, when the man who embodies that role increasingly speaks as though Christianity is merely one voice among many, rather than the spiritual grammar of the realm he governs?...<<<Read More>>>...

Turning Off Internet on Your Phone Improves Attention, Mental Health, and Well-Being in Just 14 Days

As the world has become increasingly reliant on mobile computing technology for work and entertainment, few people stopped to consider the downstream consequences.

A recent randomized controlled trialfound that simply removing mobile internet access — while still allowing calls and texts — can produce measurable improvements in psychological functioning in as little as two weeks. Researchers effectively turned smartphones into "dumb phones," and the results were striking: improved sustained attention, improved mental health, and higher subjective well-being.

This was a month-long preregistered randomized controlled trial with a cross-over (waitlist) design, enrolling 467 iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada. Participants installed the Freedom app, which blocked all mobile internet access (Wi-Fi and cellular data) for two weeks, while still allowing calling, texting, and internet use on other devices like laptops or desktops. Outcomes were measured at baseline (T1), two weeks (T2), and four weeks (T3), allowing researchers to compare changes during restriction periods versus normal-use periods.

After two weeks without mobile internet, participants experienced significant improvements in subjective well-being (including life satisfaction and positive/negative affect), mental health (a combined index including depression, anxiety, anger, personality functioning, and social anxiety), and objectively measured sustained attention using the validated gradCPT task (d-prime accuracy). Notably, about 91% of participants improved in at least one of these core outcomes, suggesting that the effect was widespread rather than limited to a small subset....<<<Read More>>>....

The Silent Storm: Reclaiming Your Health from Chronic Stress in a Toxic World

 In the relentless pace of modern life, a silent health crisis is metastasizing, fueled by a toxic environment that corporations and compliant institutions actively sustain. Chronic stress is no longer just an emotional burden; it is a physiological saboteur, eroding our health, minds, and lifespans from the inside out.

This systemic erosion is no accident. The groundbreaking book 'The Silent Storm: How Chronic Stress is Eroding Your Health, Mind, and Lifespan' by Dr. Leonard Coldwell exposes how the very institutions entrusted with public health ignore root causes, preferring instead to push pharmaceutical Band-Aids that suppress natural healing and generate lifelong customers. As Dr. Coldwell reveals, this is a battle not just for wellness, but for sovereignty in a world engineered to keep you in a state of perpetual, profitable sickness.

The modern 'healthcare' system has perfected the art of profiting from the illnesses it helps create. As one source notes, chronic diseases 'account for more than 40 percent of the $3.5 trillion that people are handing over to Big Pharma and the medical industrial complex.' This obscene profit is the engine driving a system that treats symptoms with dangerous drugs while blinding us to the environmental and lifestyle origins of our distress.

Our air, water, and food have become delivery systems for systemic stressors. Microplastics, synthetic 'forever' chemicals, and pervasive digital electromagnetic fields saturate our world, yet, as an article from the Alliance for Natural Health points out, 'lawmakers seem content to let us be the guinea pigs.'  These are not incidental exposures; they are toxic assaults designed to weaken populations. Industrial agriculture drenches our food in pesticides, leading to mineral-deficient produce laden with toxic residues. 

This daily onslaught primes the body for disease, creating a perfect pipeline of patients for the medical cartel. The system’s goal is clear: keep the true causes of stress-induced illness shrouded in mystery and maintain a cycle of sick-care dependency. ...<<<Read More>>>....

Home Secretary Announces Creation of “British FBI” – But is it a Good Idea?

 Shabana Mahmood has announced she wants to merge the 43 police forces in England and Wales and create a new National Police Service, which she has dubbed a “British FBI”. (BBC News has more.) She insists this is “absolutely not” but about fixing our “broken” police service, describing it as “the most significant reforms to policing this country has seen in 200 years”. In the Sunday Times, Robert Colville is sceptical.

Back in 1964 the Police Act slashed the number of forces in England and Wales from 117 to 49, which was gradually winnowed down to the 43 we have today. Mahmood wants to amalgamate those into a dozen or so regional super-forces while creating a separate, national force to cover big things like terrorism, fraud and gangs, and a new layer of local policing to deal with day-to-day crime.

The plan is bold. It’s logical. And it’s almost certainly doomed.

Let’s start at the beginning. There is obvious inefficiency in having 43 police forces with overlapping and duplicated functions. And traditional policing boundaries make less and less sense in an age of online fraudsters and county lines drug gangs. That’s why senior coppers have been arguing for mergers for years.

But at the same time, if people have been calling for something for a generation, there’s probably a reason it hasn’t happened. In fact, a very similar plan was introduced by Mahmood’s Labour predecessor Charles Clarke in 2006. It was an utter fiasco. As for creating a “British FBI” to fight crime at a national level, we’ve had versions of the same announcement in 1995, 2004, 2011 and 2016. And I may have missed a few.

The first and most obvious problem is operational. Any reorganisation like this is inherently disruptive. All the more so when bringing together organisations with different ways of working, different software systems and all the rest of it.

And the precedents are not encouraging. In 2013 the SNP merged eight Scottish police forces into one. Frontline officers complained that their views were ignored throughout, and that methods and personnel from Glasgow were being imposed on the rest of the country. In the decade that followed, the proportion of Scots saying their local force were doing a good or excellent job fell from 61 per cent to 45 per cent....<<<Read More>>>...

The Worldwide Power Grid They Buried With Tartaria

UK’s Green Crusade is bringing the country to its knees

 The UK’s insatiable climate agenda has led to an economic disaster, with high electricity rates and energy poverty affecting many citizens.

Government “green” policies have driven manufacturers away and investors are fleeing, with thousands of jobs being lost.

Across the Atlantic, a self-inflicted disaster is steadily unfolding. One of the United States’ closest allies, the United Kingdom, has surrendered energy riches and industrial prowess.

This decline is not the result of any shortage of capital, technological capacity or natural resources. Instead, it is the consequence of an ideologically driven climate agenda that has elevated “green” symbolism over engineering reality.

For years, politicians have beaten their chests about the UK’s “world-leading” renewable capacity. They paraded statistics showing wind and solar generating most of the electricity, conveniently ignoring that this only happens when the wind blows and the sun shines.

When “green” generation doesn’t perform, British taxpayers pay for natural gas-fired power plants to back up idle facilities and stabilise the grid. They also pay “constraint payments” to switch off wind turbines when it is too windy to operate them.

This is the great deception of the Levelised Cost of Energy (“LCOE”) metric that the green lobby loves to cite. LCOE excludes the enormous price of grid balancing, backup generation, curtailment payments, transmission expansion and subsidies – all required to prop up the green sham. 

In the real world – where bills must be paid – the UK has created for itself some of the highest electricity rates on the planet, up to four times more than in the United States. One-third of Scots live in energy poverty. But the real cost never shows up in glossy charts that promote manipulated data representing wind and solar as cheap....<<<Read More>>>..

Whistleblowers reveal secret UFO program at Maryland Navy base ongoing since the 1950s

 Whistleblowers claim the U.S. Navy has concealed an "exotic vehicle of unknown origin" at Naval Air Station Patuxent River (Pax River) for decades, studying advanced non-human technology while keeping it hidden from the public.

Luis Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon's AATIP program, testified under oath that a newly built hangar at Pax River was designed to facilitate the transfer of extraterrestrial or advanced materials via air and river.

Defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Bigelow Aerospace allegedly worked on reverse-engineering recovered tech, but a former CIA director reportedly blocked private access, preventing further study.

Mysterious "car-sized drones" were spotted hovering over military installations and Trump's New Jersey property, fueling speculation about classified aerospace programs and possible foreign espionage attempts.

Despite official denials, insiders like Elizondo and physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff insist the U.S. possesses recovered non-human craft, with contingency plans to relocate them if their location is exposed.

A shocking report has surfaced alleging that the U.S. Navy has been secretly housing an "exotic vehicle of unknown origin" at Naval Air Station Patuxent River (Pax River) in Maryland – potentially for decades – as part of a classified reverse-engineering program.

The claims, supported by whistleblower testimony and anonymous sources, suggest that the U.S. government has been actively studying advanced non-human technology while concealing its existence from the public. According to sources linked to the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Pax River has long been the site of highly sensitive programs analyzing recovered "non-human craft." NAVAIR, headquartered at the Maryland base, oversees naval aircraft and weapons development, making it a prime location for classified aerospace research.

The Liberation Times reported that two types of aircraft—Chinese surveillance drones and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP, the modern term for UFOs [unidentified flying objects])—have been increasingly spotted near the base, possibly attempting to monitor its activities.

This aligns with sworn testimony from Luis Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), who revealed in 2024 that a specialized hangar was constructed at Pax River to facilitate the transfer of extraterrestrial technology.

"These facilities included locations in the Las Vegas area and a newly built hangar at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station (PAX)," Elizondo stated under oath before Congress. "Specifically, the PAX River hangar was designed to facilitate the transfer of future materials via air and river." ...<<<Read More>>>....

Labour Opens Door to ‘Stalinist’ 15-Minute Cities Across Britain

 Labour has approved a rollout of “Stalinist” 15-minute cities across the UK. Camilla Turner in the Telegraph has more.

Ministers have said that they will allow councils to use driver licence databases to impose fines on drivers who fall foul of “traffic filters”, which restrict driving in certain areas.

The controls on motorists, which are to be implemented for the first time in Oxford city centre later this year, have been described as “perverse” by motor groups.

The 15-minute city is based on the idea that a person can access amenities within a quarter of an hour by walking or cycling. In some cases, this could result in traffic restrictions being brought in for drivers.

The most high-profile example of such a plan is in Oxford, where the council put forward proposals to divide the city into six “15-minute neighbourhoods”.

Under the scheme, drivers would need a residents’ permit that allows 100 days of free travel per year through six traffic filters during operating hours.

Meanwhile, a separate permit allows 25 days of free travel per year through six congestion charge locations during charging hours, and after this, drivers face fines if they travel without the relevant permission.

Greg Smith, Shadow Transport Minister, said: “This is the blueprint for a national rollout. Labour has given the green light for draconian councils like Oxfordshire to police how people live, move and drive, using cameras and fines backed by DVLA data.

“Oxford is the test case, but this is Labour’s blueprint for the country.”

Duncan White, Director, of the Alliance of British Drivers said 15-minute cities were an “abomination”.

He said it was a “perverse” and “Stalinist” approach to social control, adding: “It is an encroachment on civil liberties, and it is a page out of the East Germany playbook.

“With the 15-minute city, you will have to, in effect, apply for an internal passport to go and visit your granny. From a civil liberties perspective, it is nonsensical. From an operational point of view, it is bizarre.”

Jack Cousens, head of roads policy at the AA, said: “What local authorities sometimes struggle to remember is that the car remains and continues to remain the main method which people use to travel around our country.

“Cars coming into the town centres generate a huge amount of parking revenue for local authorities, and the local high street is dependent on strong, consistent footfall, and cars are probably the easiest way for people to get in and out of town centres.

“We don’t want barriers that harm the national economy and the local economy.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

UK government is designing and installing a Digital Identity Panopticon

 By her own admission, the UK Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, aims to create a digital identity Panopticon using AI and technology to constantly monitor citizens.

The UK government’s digital identity system will use biometric data, such as facial recognition, to create unique identity tokens, enabling real-time monitoring and predictive analysis of individual behaviour.

To establish the official UK digital identity Panopticon, the government and its partners do not require us to adopt any new forms of digital identity. Though it is trying to manipulate us into submitting our biometric authentication token to its GOV.UK digital identity wallet. And once we are manipulated into adopting our digital identities, they will be made interoperable across the whole of the UK economy.

Though the official UK digital identity Panopticon will supposedly only target criminals, in order to identify them, from among millions of British citizens, the state will spy on everybody all of the time.

To be clear: The UK government’s official position is to use AI as the “eyes of the state” and to set its gaze firmly “on you at all times.” This is the openly stated purpose of the official UK digital identity Panopticon.

Jeremy Bentham’s proposed Panopticon was a circular prison with a central observation post, or watchtower, that could potentially see into every cell. Unsure if they were being watched, the theoretical prisoner was compelled to behave as ordered at all times. The envisaged Panopticon oppression stemmed largely from self-regulation.

The official UK digital identity Panopticon goes much further than Bentham could have possibly imagined. As its prisoners, there will be no reason for us to harbour any doubts. We can be certain that we will be under constant surveillance. Unlike the 18th century model, the modern AI-based digital Panopticon will not rely on self-regulation, though that socially engineered condition will still persist.

Mahmood claims the state’s Panopticon objective is to identify criminal behaviour. Of course, what the state determines to be criminal behaviour is liable to change....<<<Read More>>>...

Shifting the Energy of Your Space

 There are few things more thrilling than having a new house or an empty room to decorate. Our imaginations soar as we consider the many possibilities. In the same way, our lives offer us the opportunity to express ourselves within various contexts, to ask ourselves questions about what we want to see as we go through our days and how we want things to flow. Some people do this instinctively, moving through the various environments they inhabit and shifting the energy with their presence. These people have a knack for decorating life. This can be as simple as the way they dress, the way they speak, or the fact that they always bring a bouquet of wildflowers when they come for a visit.

As we move through the world, we make a statement, whether we intend to or not. We shift the energy one way when we enter a room dressed elegantly and simply, and another when we show up in bright, cheerful colors and a floppy hat. One is not better than the other. It is simply a question of the mood we wish to create. What we wear is just one choice we can focus on. The way we speak to people shifts the energy more profoundly than almost anything else. The words we speak and the tone in which we use are the music we choose to play in the world. Some of us fill the space with passionate arias, others with healing hymns. Again, one is not better than the other. We are all called to contribute.

Just as we consciously create an environment within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life itself with our particular energy. Ideally, in doing so, we express our deeper selves, so that the adornments we add to the world make it more meaningful, more beautiful, and as welcoming as a beloved home....<<<Read More>>>>

The Light Code: How frequency, nutrition and nature defeat cancer — while Big Pharma fights to suppress the truth

 The book reveals how Big Pharma, regulators and oncologists suppress non-patentable cures (like laetrile and Royal Rife's frequency therapy) in favor of toxic, high-profit treatments (e.g., chemotherapy with 600% markups).

Red light (630–700 nm) aids skin repair and detoxification, near-infrared light (700–1100 nm) penetrates deep tissues, reducing tumors and boosting mitochondrial function and sunlight (demonized by dermatology) is essential for vitamin D, which regulates 2,000+ cancer-preventive genes.

Synergistic therapies include curcumin, berberine and artemisinin that reactivate cancer cell self-destruction (apoptosis). Combining light therapy + fasting (autophagy) or ketogenic diets starves tumors of glucose.

Chronic parasitic infections (e.g., liver flukes) suppress immunity and promote tumor growth. Solutions: ivermectin, fenbendazole, chlorine dioxide (ClO?) detoxify pathogens and heavy metals.

Detoxification and emotional healing: Far-infrared saunas expel heavy metals, coffee enemas boost glutathione (master detoxifier) and mind-body techniques (EFT tapping, meditation) reduce stress-driven inflammation.

In "The Light Code: Decoding Cancer's Natural Defeat with Frequency and Nutrition," the authors deliver a paradigm-shifting manifesto that dismantles the profit-driven cancer industry while offering a scientifically grounded roadmap for healing.

Three Quarters of Britons Lack Trust in People With “Different Values” or From “Different Cultures”

 Three in four people in the UK are “unwilling or hesitant” to trust someone who has different values or is from a different cultural background, a major international survey has found. The Times has more.

Distrust “is the new default instinct” in UK society, according to the Edelman Trust Barometer, which examines the trust that people have in business, government, media and non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

Its report revealed a deepening erosion of trust as “grievance has devolved into insularity” across the developed world.

It found that some 76% of people in the UK are either unwilling or hesitant to trust someone whose values, facts, problem-solving approaches or cultural background differ from theirs, leaving just 24% open to trusting across divides.

More than a third of Britons (35%) would rather leave a job or move to another department than report to a manager with very different values. Just over a quarter said they would reduce effort for a project led by a boss with opposing beliefs. 

Such insularity is highest in developed markets, including Japan (89%), Germany (81%) and the UK (76%), while researchers said it “cuts across income, gender and age”. The survey was of 33,900 people living in 28 countries.

The report identified forces that are fuelling the rise of insularity, most notably all-time high levels of economic anxiety....<<<Read More>>>...

Why the Black Death is so important to the pandemic industry

 The pandemic agenda, important to maintaining a healthy market for mRNA vaccines, is reliant on a general sense of fear and urgency to achieve success. Mitigating against this is the decline in infectious diseases and a dearth of recent naturally derived pandemics. With covid-19 fading and looking worryingly unnatural in origin, the pandemic industry is developing an increasing interest in ancient history, when its offerings may have proven more useful.

In the year 1347, the armies of the Kipchak Turkic confederation under the Khan Jani Beg, who were attacking the Genoese fortress at Kaffa in the Crimea, catapulted dead bodies over the walls into the city. This was not done simply for aesthetics. It was an early form of biowarfare. The bodies had belonged to people who died of a new plague that had spread from Central Asia to devastate the Kipchak army. The survivors, figuring out that once a bunch of people had this plague, it spread to almost everyone in close contact, decided that they should share this knowledge with the Genoese defenders as well. The airborne corpse approach did the trick....<<<Read More>>>...

Innocent motorists wrongly punished by speed camera glitch on smart motorways going back SEVEN years could have penalties revoked

 Thousands of motorists could have their speeding convictions scrapped because of a speed camera glitch that continued for years.

Transport secretary Heidi Alexander this week ordered an independent review into errors that ‘resulted in a number of people incorrectly facing enforcement action for speeding’.

The Mail revealed last month that more than 36,000 speeding cases have been axed following the discovery of a glitch in variable speed camera systems on smart motorways and some A-roads.

The cases date back to 2021 when the new technology was introduced.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has now confirmed that National Highways, which runs the strategic road network in England, will be investigating cases dating back to 2019 when the ‘upgrade’ of cameras got underway ‘to ensure that everyone who has been impacted is identified’.

Some drivers are thought to have been banned from the roads after being wrongly prosecuted in a small number of cases.

Experts have warned the scandal could cost the taxpayer millions of pounds in compensation.

Hugh Bladon, senior spokesman for the Association of British Drivers, said: ‘When you consider somebody could lose their licence and maybe their job as a result of one of these faulty speed cameras, the implications are incredible....<<<Read More>>>...

Free will at Edge with Quantum Theory

 How would you feel if you woke up realising free will was an illusion and you therefore had no control over your destiny? The central question of concern here is, do we have free will?

This is not simply a question of whether I decide to eat out or eat at home tonight, but more a question of whether I make choices because I have the free will to do so or my choices are already determined at a quantum level of reality (events less than 100 nanometers long), where my brain is use to functioning in a certain way or responding to an external stimulus in which I have already been conditioned to....<<<Read More>>>...

The Great AI Heist: How Artificial Intelligence Is Cannibalizing Consumer Tech and Creating a Controlled Digital Future

 The global technology market is experiencing a seismic tremor, disguised as a mere supply chain hiccup. Across the board, consumers are facing empty shelves and skyrocketing prices for critical hardware components like graphics cards and high-capacity solid-state drives. The official narrative blames pandemic disruptions and 'explosive demand,' but a closer look reveals a more sinister orchestration.

The ongoing memory and GPU shortage is not an accident of the market; it is a deliberate, strategic funneling of foundational resources away from individuals and toward a centralized, controlled AI infrastructure. The narrative of a simple 'supply shortage' is a carefully constructed smokescreen. The decimation of consumer hardware availability is not an unintended consequence but a calculated strategy to shift computational power—and by extension, freedom—from individuals to corporate and state-run AI systems.

This crisis is the opening salvo in a battle for digital sovereignty. It signals the beginning of a controlled digital future where access to powerful, private computing is a privilege, not a right. The canary in the coal mine isn't just dying; it's being purposefully suffocated to clear the path for a new master...<<<Read More>>>...

Fraud Squad Urged to Investigate “Catastrophic” £4.6 Billion Net Zero Scheme

MPs have urged Britain’s fraud squad to investigate a “catastrophic” £4.6 billion Government Net Zero scheme after 98% of wall insulation installed under it had major defects that required fixing, some of it posing an urgent health risk. The Telegraph has the story.

In a scathing report published on Friday, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said the home retrofit scheme that left more than 30,000 properties with defects had “failed at every level”.

It warned over possible fraud in the scheme – which the committee Chairman branded the “most catastrophic fiasco that I have seen” – and urged ministers to refer it to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO).

The committee took aim at Ed Miliband’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), saying senior officials took two years to recognise the scale of the problem.

More than £4.6 billion is estimated to have been spent under the two household energy-saving schemes: the Energy Company Obligation scheme, which requires suppliers to install insulation in homes with poor energy efficiency, and the Great British Insulation scheme.

The cost is borne by energy suppliers but ultimately passed on to consumers in the form of higher bills.

Despite the huge costs, the schemes have been derailed by poor-quality installation.

The public spending watchdog found last year that nearly all external wall insulation installed up to mid-January 2025 – about 98% – had major defects that required fixing, with some posing immediate health and safety risks.

Between 32,000 and 35,000 homes overall are likely to have been affected during this period, while it is unknown how many more faulty installations have been carried out since.

MPs warned that fraud was likely to have played a major role in the poor quality of insulation installed under the scheme.

Ofgem, the energy regulator, has identified a fraud rate of 1.75% of the work conducted – equivalent to more than £80 million.

However, MPs said this figure was likely to be a “significant underestimate” and called for the SFO to investigate the true scale of fraud across the scheme.

Ministers have said that no household will be liable for paying repair costs as the original installer is required to fix any issues. Costs of up to £20,000 should be covered by a guarantee when the installer has ceased to trade or fails to remediate....<<<Read More>>>...

Venezuela reveals the truth about socialism

 Once prosperous and cultured, Venezuela has become destitute, crime-ridden and hopeless.

Venezuela’s descent into poverty, desperation and organised crime is a cautionary tale about the dangers of socialism. Young socialists should take heed, Paul Meuller writes.

The shocking capture and extradition of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife over the weekend is the culmination of months of US pressure on the regime. President Trump and other administration officials have labelled Maduro and his close associates “narco-terrorists,” accusing him of leading a huge criminal organisation and profiting by violating US laws, selling large quantities of illegal narcotics which may have potentially killed Americans.

But while the future of the Venezuelan regime is uncertain, it is worth taking a few minutes to understand how Venezuela got to where it is today and what Americans can learn from its descent into a tyrannical/criminal regime.

The time for a warning may be especially appropriate. Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City’s next mayor and Katie Wilson’s election as mayor of Seattle, both late last year, have people worrying about a surge in socialist sentiment across the US. Both Mamdani and Wilson openly campaigned as democratic socialists who believe: “No problem is too big, no issue is too small for the government” and “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” 

Many with a lick of sense correctly criticise the naivety of these socialist economic policy ideas and collectivist sentiments. But fewer recognise the true horrors that can be unleashed by entitled college graduates voting for massive wealth redistribution.

The tragedy of Venezuela serves as a cautionary tale.

Socialism plays the major role in the story of Venezuela’s descent into poverty, desperation, and organised crime (Tren de Aragua). David Friedberg, a venture capitalist and a member of the All-In Podcast, recently interviewed Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado about the fraudulent 2024 national election in Venezuela – highlighting the tragedy of socialism and the resulting tyranny in Venezuela....<<<Read More>>>...

Shifting the Energy of Your Space

 There are few things more thrilling than having a new house or an empty room to decorate. Our imaginations soar as we consider the many possibilities. In the same way, our lives offer us the opportunity to express ourselves within various contexts, to ask ourselves questions about what we want to see as we go through our days and how we want things to flow. Some people do this instinctively, moving through the various environments they inhabit and shifting the energy with their presence. These people have a knack for decorating life. This can be as simple as the way they dress, the way they speak, or the fact that they always bring a bouquet of wildflowers when they come for a visit.

As we move through the world, we make a statement, whether we intend to or not. We shift the energy one way when we enter a room dressed elegantly and simply, and another when we show up in bright, cheerful colors and a floppy hat. One is not better than the other. It is simply a question of the mood we wish to create. What we wear is just one choice we can focus on. The way we speak to people shifts the energy more profoundly than almost anything else. The words we speak and the tone in which we use are the music we choose to play in the world. Some of us fill the space with passionate arias, others with healing hymns. Again, one is not better than the other. We are all called to contribute.

Just as we consciously create an environment within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life itself with our particular energy. Ideally, in doing so, we express our deeper selves, so that the adornments we add to the world make it more meaningful, more beautiful, and as welcoming as a beloved home. (Daily OM)

Labour Cancels Elections for 29 Councils Amid Slump in Polls

 No taxation without representation. Its time to STOP paying the illegal and corrupt council tax in these 29 councils. 

 ++++++++++++++

Labour will delay elections for 29 councils in a bid to “repair the broken foundations of local government”, the Government has announced – the second year that elections have been postponed amid a Labour slump in the polls. The Telegraph has more.

Steve Reed, the Local Government Secretary, told the Commons on Thursday that 29 areas would have their elections postponed and would not go ahead as planned in May.

He said he had “listened to what councils have told me” and had assessed more than 350 representations from local authorities.

Mr Reed said that out of 136 scheduled local elections, “the vast majority will go ahead as planned”.

Ministers have insisted that some local elections needed to be delayed to allow for a reorganisation of local government.

Some areas have two tiers of councils, with each tier handling different responsibilities. Ministers are replacing these with single unitary authorities which handle all local government services.

Reed and Sir Keir Starmer are relying on an obscure clause in the 2000 Local Government Act, which gives ministers the power to delay votes if there are exceptional circumstances.

The Telegraph has launched a Campaign for Democracy which calls for the clause to be scrapped. That would force ministers to seek a full vote in Parliament for any delay to elections....<<<Read More>>>...

The Invisible Assault: Why HHS’s Long-Overdue Scrutiny of Wireless Radiation Can’t Come Soon Enough

 For decades, a silent plague has been woven into the fabric of modern life, emanating from the cellphones in our pockets, the Wi-Fi in our homes, and the cell towers that dot our horizons. The government and its captured regulatory bodies have long dismissed concerns about this electropollution, labeling those who spoke of its dangers as alarmists. 

Now, a seismic shift is underway. Under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched a landmark study into the health effects of wireless radiation, and the Food and Drug Administration has scrubbed its outdated online safety claims. This move isn't just a bureaucratic review; it is a direct confrontation with a decades-long institutional cover-up of a major public health threat. For millions suffering in an invisible sea of radiofrequency radiation, this scrutiny can't come soon enough. 

The era of institutional denial is cracking. In January 2026, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly declared wireless radiation a "major health concern," pointing to "literally over 10,000 studies" documenting ill effects, including cancer tumor growth. ^[1] This statement, made as HHS launched a new study, marks a radical departure from the past, where federal agencies consistently downplayed or ignored the risks.

The same day, under Kennedy's direction, the FDA scrubbed old webpages that had falsely assured the public of cellphone safety. This is more than a symbolic gesture; it is an admission that the previous safety narrative was built on a foundation of sand. For advocates like Miriam Eckenfels of Children's Health Defense, this moment is critical. She notes that while scientific evidence piles up, the Federal Communications Commission is aggressively pushing to strip local communities of control over where cell towers are placed. ^[1] This federal power grab, also proposed in congressional legislation, would forcibly increase involuntary public exposure, making the HHS's intervention not just timely, but essential to counter a captured agency prioritizing industry rollout over public well-being...<<<Read More>>>....
