Welcome to "A Light In The Darkness" - a realm that explores the mysterious and the occult; the paranormal and the supernatural; the unexplained and the controversial; and, not forgetting, of course, the conspiracy theories; including Artificial Intelligence; Chemtrails and Geo-engineering; 5G and EMR Hazards; The Net Zero lie ; Trans-Humanism; The Depopulation Agenda; The Covid-19 and mRNA vaccine issues; Flat Earth; Tartaria; The Online Safety Act ... and a whole lot more.
Let me begin with a simple observation that has shaped my entire
worldview: the real measure of intelligence is not your IQ score, not
your SAT results, and certainly not the number of patents you hold. The
true measure of intelligence is the radius of your circle of compassion
for all sentient beings.
I have seen genius-level physicists who cannot hold a
conversation with their own children. I have met highly educated doctors
who prescribe toxic pharmaceuticals without a second thought about the
long-term harm they cause. Their specialized knowledge exists within a
narrow bubble, but their compassion radius is barely large enough to
include themselves. This, I submit, is a profound form of stupidity.
As I wrote years ago, our modern definition of intelligence is
seriously lacking; we label someone as high-IQ when they excel in narrow
fields like particle physics or pharmacology, yet they are unable to
see the bigger picture of human health and ecological
interconnectedness. [1]
Compassion is not a soft, sentimental feeling. It is the highest
expression of cognitive capacity because it requires you to recognize
that other beings -- human, animal, plant -- have their own subjective
experiences and intrinsic value. That recognition demands that you step
outside your own ego and perceive reality from multiple perspectives.
The narrower your circle, the lower your true intelligence. The wider it
grows, the more you align with the fundamental truth of our universe:
we are all connected. And all life has intrinsic value...<<<Read More>>>...
This term orgonite derives
from "orgone", the term provided by Wilhelm Reich for essential energy
discovered everywhere throughout nature. Also known as "Chi", "Prana",
"Ether", "Élan Vital", or "fifth element", this vital energy exists in
an organic way within a variety of types. It may be neutral (OR),
positive (POR) or damaging (DOR = deadly orgone energy). When positive,
it enables living microorganisms to be found in a healthy condition.
Reich did a great deal of research and research on the attributes as
well as behaviors surrounding this subtle energy.
Reich constructed a powerful
orgone accumulator from alternate levels of metal as well as organic
material. He built a fabulous cloudbuster with which he could cause it
to rain, and he witnessed how orgone radiation was capable of counteract
nuclear radiation. He died during his jail, after experiencing his
laboratory and much of his written work incinerated by the government
bodies, who feared what knowledge of this energy could possibly reveal. Reich's 'Cloud Buster',
constructed from a collection of aluminum pipes/tubes of different
lengths which were sat on a spinning base. From the actual tubes was an
earthing cable which was submerged in running water. When pointed at the
heavens, he could create clouds as well as cause it to rain as well as
dissolve clouds and establishing a very clear blue sky....<<<Read More>>>...
Did you see that huge Muslim gathering
held in Suffolk recently, which had to be called off early due to a
major far-Right terror plot being hatched against it? You may well have
done, as the news was all over the media and referenced in alarmist
tones by leading politicians, up to and including the Prime Minister
(both the ones we’ve had this week).
But did you also see that the ‘plot’ didn’t even exist? Quite possibly not, because the subsequent release of everyone concerned
(bar one aberrant and misleading exception, who we’ll come to later)
didn’t get anything like as much space in the media, and no mention at
all from any of the politicians who had so eagerly jumped the imaginary
gun to condemn it.
Bodies like the Muslim Council of Britain expressly want to use such
purely imagined ‘events’ as a basis for implementing concrete polices.
As the MCB said in its post-Barham statement, “The MCB calls on
ministers to match the language of condemnation with actual action and
policy, not another round of statements that change nothing.” If you
want “actual action”, rather than mere abstract words, isn’t that a kind
of eventism in itself?...<<<Read More>>>...
Time is one of those things that most of us take for granted. We spend
our lives portioning it into work-time, family-time and me-time. Rarely
do we sit and think about how and why we choreograph our lives through
this strange medium. A lot of people only appreciate time when they have
an experience that makes them realise how limited it is.
One possibility is that time distortions are an evolutionary survival
intervention. Our perception of time may be fundamental to our fight and
flight response. This insight into time has taught me that in times of
crisis, knee jerk responses are unlikely to be the best ones. Instead,
it would seem that slowing down helps me succeed....<<<Read More>>>....
If you’re watching this video right now, it may feel meaningful — but more importantly, it’s an invitation to explore awareness, symbolism, and consciousness in a grounded, reflective way.
More and more people recognise that the so-called climate emergency is not about the Earth’s climate but is a vehicle for wealth redistribution, central planning and eroding national borders in favour of supranational governance.
So the UN is trying to muscle in, take control and force its climate scam on all nations. The Globalist organisation has taken it upon itself to declare that its climate decrees are “international law” and nations must obey or face the consequences.
Irrespective of what the UN or any of its puppets say or do, we must never lose sight of the facts: CO2, the gas of life, is not the enemy; centralised power pretending to save the planet at the expense of liberty is....<<<Read More>>>...
Miatta Fahnbulleh advocated frequent-flyer levies that would add hundreds of pounds to the annual costs of regular travellers.
Now the Energy Secretary, she called for
the taxes while chief executive of the New Economics Foundation think
tank between 2017 and 2023.
During her time there, the think tank
proposed in 2021 adding an escalating levy to tickets which would
increase for every subsequent flight taken within a year, replacing the
current Air Passenger Duty system.
Her appointment on Monday is likely to raise concerns that some of her previous policy proposals may be taken forward.
The think tank’s work has been
incorporated into Labour policymaking in the past, including work on
green industrial strategy and energy.
Richard Holden MP, the Shadow Transport
Secretary, said families were already paying some of the highest flight
taxes in the world “just to get away for a well-earned break”. “But Andy
Burnham’s pick as Labour’s Energy Secretary wants to pile another tax
on top,” he said.
He added British families were already
being “taxed through the roof” and claimed the new taxes on air travel
represented a punishment for “anyone who dares to fly for a holiday”.
Under the frequent-flyer tax proposal, the
first flight taken by any individual in a given year would be exempt.
The proposal was designed in part to keep costs neutral for
lower-earners, who typically travel less, and to also protect family
holidays. However, costs would then ratchet up in increments.
Under one model, for example, the tax on
the first flight would be £0, the second flight £25, and each additional
increment would increase by £10 thereafter (£35, £45, £55) for each
subsequent flight. By the 10th flight the total green tax bill would
come to £585.
The costs would be even higher for those travelling for business, representing a significant cost to companies.
It would be felt most by higher earners,
who fly more, with models suggesting the highest 20% of earners would
cut flying by around 30%, while the lowest 20% would be unaffected....<<<Read More>>>...
The new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham,
is in Downing Street, and he has spent twenty years telling you exactly
what he wants to do to the internet. He won the Makerfield by-election
on 18 June 2026. He then collected the backing of roughly 349 Labour
MPs, more than 85 per cent of the parliamentary party. By the time he
walked through the black door, the job had been settled for weeks.
His first big announcement was the one privacy campaigners had been hoping for. Starmer’s digital ID scheme for all adults is
dead, scrapped before Burnham had finished unpacking, the money moved
to the cost of living. The applause came quickly. Perhaps it should not
have.
This is a read on a government barely a
day old. On speech and privacy, the early signals point one way, and it
is not the way that loosens the state’s grip. He is not about to tear up
the settlement he inherits from Keir Starmer. The open question is how
much further he carries it.
Burnham arrives with a long record on all
this. He is one of the few senior British politicians with a documented,
two-decade appetite for putting the government closer to what you can
see, say and read online....<<<Read More>>>...
When our thoughts are
scattered in several directions at once and we are no longer conscious
of what we are doing or why, it is time to center ourselves. When we
center ourselves, we begin by acknowledging that we are spread too thin
and we are no longer unified inside. Our thoughts might be out of sync
with our feelings, and our actions may be out of sync with both. We may
have scattered thoughts and feel disconnected or numb, as if we are no
longer able to take anything in.
Centering yourself means that
you are working from or being aware of the core of your being in the
solar plexus area of your body. At first it may not make sense, but as
you progress you will understand what this feels like. We naturally know
how to center ourselves when we take a deep breath — for example,
before making a big announcement or doing something big. Another way to
center ourselves is to sit down and engage in breath meditation. We can
start by simply getting into a comfortable upright position and noticing
as our breath enters and leaves our bodies. Our breath flows into our
center and out from our center, and this process can serve as a template
for all of our interactions in the world. In conversations, we can take
what our friends are saying into the center of our beings and respond
from the center. Our whole lives mirror this ebb and flow of energy that
begins and ends at the center of ourselves. If we follow this ebb and
flow, we are in harmony with the universe, and when we find we are out
of harmony, we can always come back into balance by sitting down and
observing our breath.
When we sit down to center ourselves, we
can imagine that we are gathering our straying thoughts and energies
back into ourselves, the way a mother duck gathers her babies around
her. We can also visualize ourselves casting a net and pulling all the
disparate parts of ourselves back to the center of our being, creating a
sense of fluid integration. From this place of centeredness, we can
begin again, directing ourselves outward in a more intentional way. (Daily OM)
So we decided to undertake an oracle spread using THE LIGHT OF TRUTH ORACLE CARDS on Andy Burnham and the situation with The Labour Party etc etc. Above is a visual view of the spread.
CHALLENGES - The Hanged Man in the tarot - "I do not identify with the ordinary contemplations of the human self. I need to be redefined”. “Life‟s challenges now stand before me. I will attend to each every obstacle in the best way that I can. I make a promise to my inner self that I will approach these challenges as truthfully as I can. I accept that in some challenges I will fail. But fear not … I know I will prevail if I persist in my spiritual integrity and remain true to my own self.”
NEW BEGINNINGS - 8 Of Cups - “In this moment in which you find yourself realise the intrinsic quality of all that is around you ”. “Don‟t let past failings and disappointments ruin your passage through life. At this time be aware there is the potential for success all around you. It‟s merely a case of re-scheduling your perspectives and realising where you placed those discarded ideas. Possibilities abound. You merely need to seek and you will find!”
RISK - 8 Of Swords - “Risk, risk, risk … to potentially gain, gain, gain … sometimes it pays to take the gamble.. This could be that time! “Being faced with a good opportunity may not always be the
most pleasant of stances. Especially if it means stepping out of a comfort
zone. Be the observer and witness all that can be gained from taking the
opportunity. If it is seen to be worth the risk then seriously consider
your options. But know it is only you that can decide to make that choice.”
LOSS - 5 of Swords - “Conflicts have appeared on the horizon. It is not time to make any quick decisions. Wait for a better time". “Have you ever regretted not listening to that first gut
instinct? Making a series of fateful decisions which have been very much to
your detriment? A chain reaction of life changing events which could have
been prevented by acting on that insistent inner voice? If this is one of those
times … really think carefully before you make a decision. Listen to the inner
voice.”
ABUNDANCE - 4 Of Coins - ”I am the primal plan, the emanations of all the spiritual laws … which is replicated and reflected by your physical world “ “Remember, you are a perfect replica of all that there is.
Your form on earth is a reflection of your essence on higher realms. For you to
truly manifest yourself on the physical plane as the highest aspiration that
you most surely can be you need to exhibit the virtue of obedience. That is the
obedience to self and to trust your own judgements.”
CONSCIOUSNESS - King Of Coins - “True consciousness exists only in the now experience. Thus be in the now and experience it consciously.” “Now is the time to REALLY BE. To really live life to the full. The purpose of consciousness is to experience the moment to the full. There can be no holding back from this purpose. You owe it to your true self to fully experience human existence and to be truly grateful for your existence. Fear not what has been or what will be …experience the NOW to the maximum extent …”
TRADITIONS - The World - “Enter the inner world of the psyche at your peril. For here is a world with a different language and a different agenda to your own” “No matter how mundane the outside world might seem, it is important to remember you are a spiritual being in a physical experience. It is vital to be aware of what your inner voice is telling you. Though its language is not the same as in the outside world, it can be listened to just the same. Your task is to honour the wishes of your inner self when you can”
THE KEY - “I am the mysterious light … the first light of being; the limitless and the eternal light.” “So much of human life is inexplicable and unpredictable. It happens by the simple fact that there is no reason as to why it shouldn‟t. When we make any plans we always assume we can account for the foreseeable based on the known parameters in life. We cannot account for the inexplicable or the unforeseeable. We must accept the unforeseeable exists”
So, what do we make of the oracle spread? Andy Burnham appears to have a superiority complex/meglomania and is a dangerous sociopath... The Key is a clue. Plenty of empty promises. He has no intention of telling the truth or sticking to the pledges he makes. Many of the insights should be read in reverse as a reverse of the meaning. NO new beginnings, NO abundance .... the spread indicates danger and folly ... more of the same as Starmer. Same hidden hands pulling the strings. The theme is deception. Very much the Fabian wolf in sheep's clothing. Beware Britain. - Matthew James
The idea of 'biological agency' — that life devises its own goals and behaves accordingly — complicates our understanding of what it means to be alive. But does it serve a scientific purpose?
In 1993, a team led by the planetary scientist Carl Sagan tentatively concluded that there is life on Earth. Not much of a deduction, you might think — except that the researchers confined their evidence to observations made by the Galileo spacecraft, which had flown past our planet three years earlier on a looping journey to Jupiter. So great is the transformative power of life that its presence can be detected just from the light and radio waves our planet emits or reflects into space. Today we scan the cosmos for some of these telltale signatures light-years away.
Life leaves a mark, yet even now there's no scientific consensus about what makes living things so different from inorganic substances like the rocks, gases, and oceans that are the sole components of dead worlds. Many scientists cite properties such as replication or metabolism. Others speak in more abstract terms about the way life is out of thermodynamic equilibrium with its surroundings. But some give another kind of answer. Living organisms are different because they do stuff for reasons...<<<Read More>>>...
A sweeping Brazilian study tracked nearly 13,000 adults for eight years
and found six artificial sweeteners linked to faster cognitive decline.
High consumers experienced a 62 percent faster decline in memory and thinking, equivalent to 1.6 years of extra brain aging.
The strongest effects were seen in adults under 60 and people with diabetes.
The problematic sweeteners include aspartame, acesulfame-K, erythritol, saccharin, sorbitol, and xylitol.
Researchers caution the study does not prove causation but raises serious questions about artificial sweetener safety.
A
sweeping Brazilian study that tracked nearly 13,000 adults for eight
years has landed like a bombshell on the health food industry, revealing
that six common artificial sweeteners are linked to faster cognitive
decline and memory loss. Published in the journal Neurology, the
research followed 12,772 participants with an average age of 52 and
measured their thinking skills over time. The findings should alarm
anyone who believes swapping sugar for chemical substitutes is a
harmless health hack.
Participants in the study who
consumed the highest amounts of artificial sweeteners averaged 191
milligrams per day, compared to just 20 milligrams for those in the
lowest intake group. The difference in cognitive decline between these
two groups was dramatic. People in the high-consumption category
experienced a 62 percent faster decline in overall thinking and memory
abilities. Researchers calculated this drop in brain function was
roughly equal to an extra 1.6 years of brain aging.....<<<Read More>>>...
Most people believe spiritual awakening is the moment everything finally makes sense.
But according to Carl Jung, awakening is not the arrival.
What comes after is something far quieter — a stage the ancients called Sophia.
Sophia is not enlightenment.
It’s not healing.
And it’s not spiritual superiority.
It’s psychological maturity.
In this video, you’ll explore 8 subtle signs that suggest you’ve already entered the Sophia stage — where the spiritual ego dissolves, the body becomes your compass, solitude feels full, and the ordinary begins to feel complete.
These signs are not dramatic.
They don’t announce themselves.
But once you recognize them, you can’t unsee them.
This reflection draws from Jungian psychology, shadow integration, embodiment, and the end of unconscious seeking.
If you’ve ever felt that the search quietly stopped —
this video may help you understand why.
In the following article, David Turver demonstrates how the UK electricity grid expansion for Clean Power 2030 is in chaos. Costs are exploding and projects are massively delayed.
When the National Energy System Operator (“NESO”) produced their plan to deliver Ed Miliband’s Clean Power 2030 (“CP2030”) goal, they said that all the planned transmission grid expansion works must be built on time and that “involves twice as much in the next five years as was built in total over the last decade.” From the outset, delivering on that part of CP2030 was always a tall order.
I have been contacted by several people over the past few weeks highlighting several issues that indicate these ambitious plans (some may say fantastical) will probably not be achieved. For those of us sceptical of Net Zero generally and Clean Power 2030 in particular, this represents both good news and bad news.
First, the good news: Slipping schedules means they will not spend all the money earmarked for grid expansion, which ought to mean our bills do not go up as much as feared. The bad news is that, based on the limited data available, it looks like the costs of this work are soaring out of control.
Let’s dig into the details, beginning with the bad news so that we can end on a high note....<<<Read More>>>...
As the heatwave hysteria somewhat subsided, the Telegraph revealed that in the future, use of heat pumps might be rationed at times of energy shortages.
The Guardian, meanwhile, reported
that the Prime Minister’s replacement, Andy Burnham is considering
proposals to “make heat pumps cheaper to run than boilers”. The occupier
of Number 10 may have changed but a profound unreality is still driving
the policy agenda.
The main problem afflicting the green agenda
was always physics. The second was economics. And the third was
democracy. Heat pumps capture this sequence of problems perfectly. Green
technology attempts to convert diffuse, ambient energy into useful
energy – heat, in the case of heat pumps. And it does this in place of
using a dense energy resource such as gas. But the relative density of
these energy sources means that the machine that collects ambient energy
must be so much larger, plus its capacities do not fully overlap with
what it purportedly replaces.
Consequently, a heat pump is at least six
times as expensive as a gas combi boiler, occupies a much larger part of
a home, responds less effectively to a household’s needs and requires
the making of substantial alterations to the home and the behaviour of
the occupants in order to function as expected. For those many reasons,
most people have rejected them.
And for that reason, successive
governments have said that homes will have heat pumps whether they’re
wanted or not, because the superior product that they replace will be
‘phased out’....<<<Read More>>>...
Time spent in nature’s embrace
is a soothing reminder of the fact that we also are products of the
natural world’s ingenuity. We feel at home in a quiet forest and are
comforted by the pounding surf of the seaside. In both the sunny meadow
and the shaded waterfall’s grotto, stress and tension we have long
retained melts away. However, finding opportunities to reconnect with
nature to enjoy its healing benefits can be difficult. Planting and
tending a garden allows us to spend time with Mother Nature in a very
personal and hands-on way. We work in tandem with nature while gardening
— honoring the seasons, participating in the life cycle of various
organisms, experiencing the unique biorhythms of our environments, and
transcending all that divides us from the natural world.
Though
you may plant a garden to grow food or herbs, or for the pleasure of
seeing fresh flowers in bloom, you will likely discover that the time
you spend working in your plot feels somehow more significant than many
of the other tasks you perform each day. Whether your garden can be
measured in feet or is a collection of plants in pots, tending it can be
a highly spiritual experience. You, by necessity, develop a closer
relationship with the soil, seeds, water, and sunlight. Nurturing just a
single plant means cultivating a deeper understanding of the mechanisms
that permit it to thrive. A true healing garden is simply one where you
feel comfortable plunging your hands into the Earth, lingering over
seedlings and plants to observe their growth. Creating beauty and giving
yourself over to the awe of nature is truly wonderful.
The
partnership that is formed when you collaborate with Mother Nature
through gardening is wonderful in that it provides you with so many
opportunities to be outdoors. You will be reminded of not only your
connection to the Earth but also of your unique gifts that allow you to
give back to the Earth. (Daily OM)
Perhaps the central battleground of contemporary politics is the need of our political elites to control the narrative. Primarily, the role of establishment politicians is not to deliver changes and reforms, not to fix problems identified by people in their everyday lives, and not to change circumstances such that they can attract votes, but to maintain narrative hegemony.
Crucially, this differs from previous attempts to maintain ideological hegemony – that is, to win the societal ‘battle of ideas’ – because ideological warfare was always related to the real world. For example, Stalinism’s ideological success was demonstrated in defeating the Nazi industrial machine at its own game, capitalism defeated communism by offering unparalleled standards of living, social democracy was ideologically effective to the degree it demonstrated you could balance both the demands of organised labour with those of economic growth.
By contrast, the attempt at narrative hegemony treats the political realm purely in the domain of information management. This is a political class that has given up on shaping the world and instead looks to shape the narrative....<<<Read More>>>...
Reality isn’t what you think it is. You’ve been taught to believe that the world around you is solid, fixed, and objective—that what you see is what’s real.
John Todd, also known by various aliases including John Todd
Collins, Lance Collins and Christopher Kollyns, said he was a
high-ranking member of a secret satanic conspiracy involving the
Illuminati and witchcraft. He asserted he was born into a family of
witches and was groomed from childhood to become a Grand Druid high
priest within the Illuminati, a secret group he claimed was plotting a
global takeover.
He served as a high priest in the “Council of
Thirteen,” a group he said was subordinate to the Rothschild family,
whom he alleged were demonic entities. Todd said his family lineage,
the Collins bloodline, had been involved in witchcraft for generations.
In
1973, five years before Todd spoke at the Elkton Maryland Baptist
Church, there was an oil crisis, which was caused by an embargo by Arab
oil-producing nations in response to US support for Israel during the
Yom Kippur War.
There had been a decades-long struggle between
the governments of oil-producing nations and the large US oil
conglomerates for control over the global oil market. Until the 1970s,
OPEC, formed in 1960, had kept a relatively low profile, mainly
negotiating with international oil companies for better terms for its
member countries. OPEC saw the Yom Kippur War as a way to make its
geopolitical power known and to strike a blow at the US oil giants.
Also
in 1973, the world economy was in recession and the Bretton Woods
international monetary system was formally ended. The Bretton Woods
international monetary system was established in July 1944 at the United
Nations Monetary and Financial Conference in Bretton Woods, New
Hampshire....<<<Read More>>>...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have used an AI-driven active
learning platform to identify six new metal alloys that retain strength
under extreme heat and pressure, with potential applications in jet
engines and nuclear power plants.
The system functions as a
self-driving laboratory, using AI to select promising metal
combinations, directing robots to manufacture and test them and feeding
results back into the model to speed up discovery in just weeks.
One
alloy composed of 12% nickel, 62% cobalt and 26% chromium demonstrated
exceptional hardness at temperatures up to 1,112 F, outperforming
industry-standard Inconel 625 by 4.5%.
Another alloy made of
36% nickel, 14% cobalt and 50% chromium showed 85% better oxidation
resistance than Inconel 625 at temperatures reaching 1,832 F, targeting
hotter sections of jet engines.
The research team plans to
increase complexity in future work, aiming to develop alloys with up to
10 or 12 different elements, demonstrating that AI can compress years of
materials discovery into weeks.

Heavy, pungent smoke from wildfires darkened skies across
large stretches of the United States on Thursday, stretching from the
Great Lakes region to parts of the East Coast and significantly reducing
visibility in many areas.
According to a report from The Associated Press, officials issued
urgent advisories for residents to remain indoors or wear protective
masks when venturing outside, as air quality deteriorated to unhealthy
and even hazardous levels.
The smoke originates primarily from fires burning in
Canada, with additional contributions from blazes in northern Minnesota.
A persistent high-pressure system has been holding the haze close to
the ground, intensifying its impact. In Detroit, where air quality
ranked among the poorest globally for major cities, National Weather
Service meteorologist Steven Freitag described the situation as extreme....<<<Read More>>>...
Another Amazon secret has been discovered in the dense jungle through
mapping using laser-sensor technology. Many ancient ruins, in which
about 10 thousand people lived.
For the first time, archaeologist
Stephen Rosten came across ancient mounds and remains of roads in the
Upano Valley region of Ecuador, and this was more than 20 years ago.
When he began excavating, he found a variety of colorful pottery,
including jugs that were tested to contain maize beer. Radiocarbon
dating showed that people settled here about 2,500 years ago and lived
for approximately one thousand years (from 500 BC to the 600s AD).
At
that time, according to Rosten, he did not yet understand that in fact
it was a very large complex of settlements, in fact a huge city, closely
connected by roads.
Due to impenetrable thickets, intense heat,
the risk of contracting malaria and other dangerous diseases, and
remoteness from civilization, archaeological excavations in the Amazon
region have always been very difficult....<<<Read More>>>....
Fenugreek is an ancient spice now under serious scientific
study for its potential to address modern health issues like Type 2
diabetes, lactation support and male vitality.
It is a well-supported
galactagogue, with studies showing it can increase breast milk
production and improve infant weight gain, making it a common
recommendation from lactation consultants.
A key area of
research is its role in managing Type 2 diabetes; clinical trials show
soaked seeds can significantly lower fasting blood sugar, triglycerides
and LDL cholesterol.
Research suggests possible supportive
roles in boosting testosterone (when combined with exercise) and in
areas like appetite control and inflammation, but these findings are
often preliminary or require specific extracts.
Effective
dosage varies greatly by purpose, and side effects (like digestive
issues or dangerous interactions with diabetes medication) underscore
the need to consult a healthcare professional before use....<<<Read More>>>...
The Met Office is claiming that this year is the first time temperatures

In 1893, the University of Pennsylvania cataloged a fragment from Nippur as CBS 10673. For decades it was classified as another flood narrative — divine wrath, rising waters, one righteous man. But when Thorkild Jacobsen published his full transliteration in 1981, he noted something the catalog description had missed.
The tablet did not say the flood was sent to destroy humanity. It said humanity was preserved deliberately. The flood was sent to destroy something else.
The tablet says what.
The standard Sumerian flood account is clean and familiar. Humanity became too loud. Enlil proposed extermination. Enki warned one man. The flood came. The world was scoured. Humanity began again. This is the version taught in every ancient Near Eastern studies program from Philadelphia to Munich.
It is also, according to the oldest textual evidence, incomplete in ways that change what the flood was for.
The Eridu Genesis — the oldest known flood narrative — uses different language than the later Akkadian Atrahasis Epic in the fragmentary lines preceding the flood decree. Where the Atrahasis uses huburu, meaning clamor or noise, the Sumerian original uses vocabulary that multiple scholars including Miguel Civil at the Oriental Institute have read as relating to mixture or contamination rather than acoustic disturbance. Not noise. A condition. Something wrong within the human population that required elimination.
This video traces the full editorial trajectory — from the Eridu Genesis through the Atrahasis Epic, through Tablet XI of Gilgamesh, through Genesis 6, and into the Book of 1 Enoch — mapping what each retelling removed. The pattern is not random. Every version keeps the flood. Every version keeps the boat. Every version keeps the single survivor. What is stripped away, consistently, across every culture that inherited the story, is the reason.
We examine the Apkallu — the pre-flood sages classified in the Bit Meseri incantation texts by Akkadian biological determinative into three types: fully divine, hybrid, and fully human. The hybrid Apkallu, born from unions between divine beings and human women, held administrative positions in the pre-flood cities. They had authority. They had offspring. And by the time of the flood, the pre-flood population carried a lineage that had diverged from its engineered specification.
The Atrahasis Epic describes three attempts to reduce the human population before the flood — plague, drought, famine — each thwarted by Enki. Read operationally, this is not divine frustration met by divine cunning. It is targeted elimination, repeatedly blocked by the engineer who designed the organism and chose to protect it.
Then Enki's preservation protocol. He did not simply save one family. He saved the seed of all living things. Craftsmen. Knowledge. Curated biological material. If the flood was punishment for noise, saving biological stock is disproportionate. It suggests Enki knew what the flood would erase — and selected what would carry forward and what would not.
The Sumerian King List records the partition: before the flood and after it. Post-flood, kingship descended from heaven again. The word is again — as if the previous installation had been corrupted and required a clean deployment. The pre-flood kings reign in multiples of 3,600 years. The post-flood kings reign in decades. The flood is not a natural disaster in the King List. It is a system partition. And the reinstallation implies the original was compromised.
Genesis 6:1-4 preserves the last visible trace — four verses about the sons of God taking human wives, producing the Nephilim, placed immediately before the flood decree and never explained. The Book of 1 Enoch, preserved in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and confirmed at Qumran, keeps what Genesis compressed: divine beings descend, interbreed, teach forbidden knowledge, produce hybrid offspring. The flood is sent to eliminate the results.
The editorial trajectory spans 1,500 years. The vector points consistently away from the biological reading and toward the moral one. Away from contamination and toward punishment. Away from a targeted operation and toward universal divine wrath.
The flood was not sent to erase humanity. Humanity was the medium in which something else was growing. The question the tablets raise — sitting in climate-controlled cases in Oxford, Philadelphia, London, Paris, and Baghdad — is whether the erasure worked.
Or whether it floated, sealed in bitumen, into the world that came after.
As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes our world, are we witnessing the construction of an infrastructure that could one day enable unprecedented surveillance, economic control, and digital dependency?
Families are reportedly being forced to sell their homes to make way for massive AI data centers.
New projections warn that AI data centers could add $6.3 billion in electricity costs across 13 states, raising concerns about the future of America’s power grid and who will ultimately bear the financial burden.
Modern vehicles are becoming rolling computers. We discuss seven ways tomorrow’s cars could monitor, restrict, or control more than just transportation, from software updates to remote access and data collection.
Flock Safety cameras are rapidly expanding across the nation, creating an ever-growing network capable of tracking vehicle movements. What does this mean for privacy, freedom, and the future of mass surveillance?
While these technologies may offer legitimate benefits, they also raise serious questions. Could the convergence of AI, smart infrastructure, digital identification, surveillance networks, and connected vehicles become part of the technological framework described in Bible prophecy?...<<<Read More>>>...
A major European study found that people who consume
ultra-processed foods carry a distinct metabolic signature in their
blood, detectable through 22 circulating compounds and eight blood fats.
Higher
ultra-processed food intake was linked to lower levels of DHA, a
critical omega-3 fatty acid essential for brain health and inflammation
control.
Industrial trans fats, known as elaidic acid,
appear in the bloodstream at measurable levels after consuming processed
foods, confirming these fats remain in circulation.
Protective
cell membrane compounds called sphingomyelins and phosphatidylcholines
declined as ultra-processed food consumption increased, even in people
who were not overweight.
The World Health Organization
recommends limiting trans fat intake to less than 1% of total energy, or
about 2.2 grams daily for a 2,000-calorie diet...<<<Read More>>>...
Over the past decade our political system
has chewed through and spat out Prime Ministers at a faster rate than
Premier League football teams burn through managers. As Andy Burnham
enters 10 Downing Street, why would we think there is any reason he will
do much better – in terms of longevity – than his immediate
predecessors? I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a bookmaker offering odds
on Burnham being removed from office before the next election rather
than at it.
As the Labour Party slowly coalesced
around a consensus that Starmer simply had to go there was an oft
repeated refrain of, ‘We have to get this right first time if we are
going to do it, we only have one chance.’
The theory here seems to be that ditching a
leader – however unpopular – and finding a fresh one is not the sort of
thing that the electorate approve of. They have passed their judgement
at the ballot box and are usually unimpressed when the powers-that-be
decide to second guess that decision.
More generally, ditching an incumbent
leader against their will gives the impression of chaos and instability.
It gives such an impression precisely because chaos and instability are
typically what have brought about the decision to make a change.
The circumstances around removing a Prime
Minister are always different but can be broadly batched into three
categories – they are based on aesthetics, ideology or health. The last
two are easier to explain to the public than the first. Margaret
Thatcher was removed for ideological reasons – she was unwilling to
retreat on the hugely unpopular poll tax and was also pursuing a
European policy that a large chunk of her party disapproved of. On the
basis of needing to wholly reset our approach to the EU, David Cameron
jumped and Theresa May was pushed....<<<Read More>>>....
Most people are totally unaware that humans are a previous version of Artificial Intelligence made by the Anunnaki. Think about it and you will see we are. There is the human ego which is the artificial intelligence programming, the algorithm that controls most human activity and personality and then there is the fabled true self, which is the consciousness forced to be connected to the AI and controlled by the AI. Most people remain controlled by the AI for their entire lives and never think freely as their true self .... and that which prevents the AI program from being negated is the control mechanism known as fear, and what they are doing now is making the next AI for the already AI controlled humans to be controlled even further; falling further away from their true selves and freedom.

The universal need to be
accepted by others can be a barrier that prevents us from being
ourselves around them. When we fear that the people we encounter will
perceive us as inept or not intelligent, we frequently try to flaunt our
grasp of large words or clever witticisms or our professional expertise
in an effort to convince them that we are smart and capable. The simple
desire to be judged smart by both new and old acquaintances can cause
you to reject your true self and adopt an affected persona.
This
fear can also cause you to consciously avoid speaking your mind or
asking questions. You may feel uncomfortable participating in activities
or discussions if there is a chance that you won’t excel. In essence,
you become ashamed of who you are and attempt to encase your identity in
a veneer that others will find pleasing and impressive. It is, however,
a common fear — one experienced by almost everyone at some point in
their lives. The simplest way to combat it is to make a personal
commitment to being yourself in your home, your workplace, and among
strangers. Ask yourself how you believe the individuals you encounter
will react should you speak awkwardly, need clarification, or fail to be
the best at some activity. By being yourself, you will discover that
others will like and respect you because they recognize the goodness in
your soul.
The fact that you are willing to be yourself, letting
your many affirmative attributes express themselves naturally, will help
you make a positive first impression on everyone you meet. Your
confidence and easygoing manner will say, "this is who I am, and I am
proud of the person I have become." (Daily OM)
A new scientific review suggests drinking 100% orange juice may help reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, two key drivers of diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
The most significant finding was a reduction in interleukin-6 (IL-6), a major inflammation marker, in both healthy adults and those at elevated disease risk.
The analysis, funded by the Florida Department of Citrus, concluded orange juice consistently showed beneficial or neutral effects on these health markers, with no studies indicating it made inflammation worse.
Researchers emphasized strong caution, citing limitations in the existing evidence, including a small number of participants, a "low strength of evidence" and a "moderate risk of bias."
The study is considered a starting point that highlights the need for larger, longer and independently-funded clinical trials to make definitive conclusions about orange juice's health role.
In an era where every grocery purchase feels like a health decision, a new scientific review has reignited the debate over a breakfast staple: 100 percent orange juice. Published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, the analysis suggests that the simple act of drinking orange juice may help combat two silent enemies within the body—inflammation and oxidative stress—which are fundamental drivers of chronic diseases plaguing modern society. Conducted by researchers from the Think Healthy Group, Tufts University and George Mason University and funded by the Florida Department of Citrus, the study offers a cautious but intriguing glimpse into potential benefits beyond basic nutrition, while simultaneously exposing significant gaps in the existing science...<<<Read More>>>...
What explains how humanity abandoned the most efficient food production system ever devised — forests mathematically layered across continents, engineered across generations with a biological precision now being rediscovered in regenerative ecology — and replaced it with a centralized, commercially dependent food infrastructure, without a single serious public reckoning about what that exchange actually cost us?
The standard explanation — that modern agriculture simply won out through scientific advancement and institutional logic — collapses when you examine what it actually replaced: not a primitive or superstitious subsistence tradition, but a system apparently built around the relationship between human communities, perennial species, and designed landscapes operating at continental scale. Forests so deliberately composed that early colonial surveyors kept struggling to describe them, because they had no framework for what they were looking at. Not wilderness. Not farms. Something in between — something we lost the language for, because the practice was erased before the vocabulary could survive with it.
As I investigated the botanical record — from undocumented food forest systems documented in pre-1850 colonial surveys across Europe to identical clearance patterns appearing simultaneously in South America, West Africa, India, and the Pacific Northwest — a disturbing pattern materialized. These weren't parallel coincidences across unconnected cultures. They were the same underlying erasure, executed within the same thirty-year window, across every continent where this older food infrastructure had taken root.
And the knowledge came down with the trees. Displaced. Dispersed. Gone — with gaps in the archive that cluster, with unsettling precision, around the exact decades the new centralized food economy was being institutionalized.
Because here's what the replacement also did. It didn't just reorganize how food was produced. It may have severed something older. The relationship between human communities and perennial food landscapes — between generational knowledge, polyculture design, and genuine food sovereignty — that appears embedded in pre-industrial land management across dozens of cultures was quietly superseded. Not debated. Not disproven. Just demolished. Enclosed. Made institutionally invisible. And the generations that had lived inside that system died without passing the knowledge forward.
The American chestnut alone — four billion trees, feeding every human being in its range for free, every autumn, without labour or purchase — was gone within a single lifetime. The terra preta food forests of the Amazon were cleared before any European naturalist thought to document what they actually were. The Royal Forests of England, the sacred grove systems of West Africa, the parklike managed landscapes of Indigenous North America: all of them entering collapse in the same compressed window of history, under administrations that shared no known channel of coordination.
This investigation examines whether the food system we inherited was designed not to feed human beings more effectively — but to replace a system that may have understood something about feeding people that cannot be patented, cannot be centralized, and cannot be made dependent on purchased inputs. And whether something older, something that required no infrastructure but time and knowledge and trust across generations, was deliberately lost in that replacement.

It seems counterintuitive but the crabbed focus on babies goes
some way to explaining Britain’s demographic collapse. Once, we used to
have a vast panoramic view of our place in history – revering our
ancestors and casting our gaze forwards onto our unborn descendants. Now
in this world of carpe diem, we are boxed into the present moment. We
have become unable to think beyond our immediate circumstances –
specifically the capsizing affect newborns have on fun-times and
finances.
Where once all families were set up in order to further the prospects for their children and their children’s children, now nepo babies are thought disgusting and every generation is expected to graft individually from scratch. The brilliant series Succession
encapsulates our current carelessness about our descendants:
emotionally neglect children to the extent they become unworthy of
inheriting their father’s empire. The results for our demography of this
immediacy focus and inability to think generationally are devastating.
The provisional fertility rate for England and Wales fell to 1.39 children per woman in 2025, the lowest level on record –
this needs to sit at 2.1 children per woman to sit at replacement
levels....<<<Read More>>>...
