Another Point of View: Is there evidence aliens have visited Earth?
The last investigation of this kind happened more than 50 years ago, as part of a US Air Force investigation called Project Blue Book, which examined reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (note the change in name). But why would governments be interested in UAPs? One exciting line of thought is UAPs are alien spacecraft visiting Earth. It’s a concept that gets a lot of attention, by playing on decades of sci-fi movies, views about what goes on in Area 51, and purported sightings by the public.
A much more prosaic line of thought is governments are interested in unexplained aerial phenomena – especially those within their own sovereign airspace – because they may represent technologies developed by an adversary.
Indeed, most discussion at the recent hearing revolved around potential threats from UAPs, on the basis they were such human-made technologies....<<<Read More>>>....
Ancient rock art along U.S.-Mexico border reveals 4,000-year-old indigenous cosmology
Despite spanning 175 generations, the Pecos River Style (PRS) rock art maintained strict iconographic rules—black paint first, followed by red, yellow and white—demonstrating a structured visual language rather than random decoration.
The murals align with pan-indigenous beliefs, such as layered universes and portals between worlds. A Huichol shaman recognized the figures in the 2000s, confirming continuity with modern indigenous spiritual traditions.
The artists were nomadic hunter-gatherers, unknown by tribal name today, but their work reveals advanced cosmological thought predating agriculture and urbanization, challenging conventional narratives about the origins of complex religious ideas.
The murals serve as a "living library" of indigenous knowledge, preserving a cosmology that influenced later Mesoamerican civilizations (e.g., Aztecs) and remains spiritually significant to contemporary indigenous communities.
For more than 4,000 years – spanning an astonishing 175 generations – Indigenous Americans painted elaborate rock murals along what is now the U.S.-Mexico border, conveying a sophisticated cosmological worldview that persists in modern indigenous cultures.
A groundbreaking study published in Science Advances reveals that the Pecos River style (PRS) rock art, found in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands of southwestern Texas and northern Mexico, remained remarkably consistent in technique and symbolism for millennia, despite major environmental and technological changes....<<<Read More>>>....
The ‘Superflu’ Story Shows the Mainstream Media Are Utterly Untrustworthy
Large stocks of vaccines and antivirals were purchased and renewed and are awaiting use. The avian influenza terror did not fly (no pun intended, as this is a serious post).
As early as November 6th, the recently appointed Sir Jim Mackey, head of NHS England, warned the UK was facing a long, tough flu season. Delivered through the BBC, of course.
Then we had the ‘carnage’ and ‘superflu’ with an ambulance and bed crisis, which did not fit with the Government’s own data.
Throughout, the British Bias Corporation was busy spreading misleading news.
It’s not that other MSM outlets covered themselves in glory, all repeating variations of the same story.
Still, the difference is that the BBC is publicly funded and should be looking after the public interest instead of repeating the usual tripe, interviewing cats and asking them if they would look after the creamy cheese. Over in Canada, CBC (or “Pravda” as one commentator called it) was at it too.
But all is not lost, using the retrospectoscope, the most powerful instrument known to mankind, the BBC is beginning to have doubts, although it is still talking to the cats....<<<Read More>>>...
Despite spending trillions of dollars, the “green transition” is failing
So, in 13 years, between 2012 and 2023, the global economy spent $4 trillion on moving away from fossil fuels, but still gets almost 87% of its energy from them. Slav also points out that spending on renewable and “clean” energy continued in 2024 to the tune of $2.4 trillion, covering investment in renewable energy, electric vehicles, energy efficiency and power grids. At the same time, coal supplied a record amount of energy in 2024. The world is learning very little from its exploits into mostly intermittent renewable energy (wind and solar power) that require expensive backup when the wind does not blow, and the sun does not shine, as politicians continue to force them upon consumers despite skyrocketing energy costs...<<<Read More>>>...

The World’s First Artificial Womb Facility Introduced
++++++++++++++++++++++++
The future has arrived. Last Friday, a German molecular biologist by trade unveiled a new concept for the world’s first artificial womb facility, EctoLife, which could incubate up to 30,000 babies a year.
“My new concept will be unveiled early December, something that I have been working on for a while,” said Hashem Al-Ghaili in November. “The new concept relies on over 50 years of groundbreaking scientific research.”
Hashem Al-Ghaili is a molecular biologist, producer, filmmaker, and science communicator based in Berlin, Germany.
EctoLife, which operates solely on renewable energy, enables infertile couples to conceive and become the biological parents of their own offspring.
“It’s a perfect solution for women who had their uterus surgically removed due to cancer or other complications. With EctoLife, premature births and C-sections will be a thing of the past. EctoLife is designed to help countries that are suffering from severe population decline, including Japan, Bulgaria, South Korea, and many others,” according to its press release....<<<Read More>>>...
How potassium powers the body and the perils of its deficit
A potassium deficiency disrupts electrical stability, leading to symptoms ranging from fatigue and muscle weakness to severe complications like dangerous heart arrhythmias and impaired kidney function.
Optimal potassium levels are best maintained through a whole-foods diet rich in sources like leafy greens, starchy vegetables (e.g., potatoes, squash), legumes, avocados, tomatoes and fruits like bananas and oranges.
The prevalence of high-sodium processed foods has inverted the natural potassium-sodium balance, making conscious potassium intake crucial for combating hypertension and supporting cardiovascular health.
While supplements exist for medical deficiencies, they carry risks (like hyperkalemia) and should only be used under medical supervision; for most people, obtaining potassium from food is the safest and most effective strategy.
In the intricate symphony of human physiology, few minerals play as versatile and vital a role as potassium. This essential electrolyte operates as a silent regulator, a fundamental conductor of the electrical impulses that keep the heart beating, muscles moving and nerves firing. While often overshadowed by more frequently discussed nutrients, potassium's function is indispensable, and its imbalance can have profound consequences for health. Understanding its mechanisms, recognizing the signs of its deficiency and knowing how to maintain optimal levels through diet are critical components of modern wellness.
Potassium is a positively charged ion that works primarily inside the body's cells. Its most celebrated role is as an electrolyte, a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in bodily fluids like blood. This electrical conductivity is the foundation of life-sustaining processes. Potassium is crucial for generating nerve impulses that govern thought, sensation and movement. It facilitates muscle contractions, from the deliberate flexing of a bicep to the relentless, involuntary squeeze of the heart muscle. Furthermore, it works in a delicate dance with sodium to regulate fluid balance and blood pressure, helping to move nutrients into cells and shuttle waste products out....<<<Read More>>>...
Limiting or eliminating the right to a trial by jury is a goal of tyrants
The move against jury trials reflects a growing trend among modern governments and legislators – not only in the United Kingdom, but in many other places – to assert their own authority over the constitutional order in exaggerated and destructive ways, David Thunder writes.
To quote Lord Patrick Devlin: “The first object of any tyrant … would be to make Parliament utterly subservient to his will; and the next to overthrow or diminish trial by jury.”...<<<Read More>>>...
‘Offensive’ Christmas Songs Could Fall Victim to Labour’s Banter Ban
Sitting in a pub with a glass of mulled wine, while loudly singing along to a Christmas song, is a much-loved tradition of the festive season.
But its days may be numbered as pub landlords must ban ‘offensive’ lyrics under new laws requiring them to take “all reasonable steps” to protect staff from third-party harassment.
The songs affected could include ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’, which has faced criticism from the #MeToo movement, ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’, which has been accused of stereotyping the continent of Africa, and ‘Jingle Bells’, which is said to have ‘racist’ origins.
Under Labour’s controversial Employment Rights Bill, which became law last week, employers will have a legal duty to prevent harassment by third parties relating to a ‘protected characteristic’ such as race, religion, sexual orientation or age.
Ministers have been warned that this will result in pub landlords, as well as restaurant owners and hoteliers, being turned into the ‘banter cops’, where they are forced to police what their customers say.
Free-speech campaigners fear it could also lead to pubs banning Christmas music sing-alongs over worries their lyrics may cause offence.
Toby Young, general secretary of the Free Speech Union, said he had previously warned that the ‘banter ban’ would lead to the “policing of harmless fun in pubs, bars and restaurants, giving the scolds and finger-waggers another pretext to stop people enjoying themselves”.
He added: “The Government didn’t listen, insisting we were being alarmist, but a ban on Christmas music and carol singing will be the least of it. Prepare to live in a country in which every hospitality venue is a micro-managed ‘safe space’, overseen by lanyard-wearing banter bouncers. Welcome to Starmer’s Britain.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Is the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Alien Technology?
One of the solutions to Enrico Fermi’s question about extraterrestrials: “where is everybody?” is offered by the dark forest hypothesis, popularized by Cixin Liu’s science fiction novel “The Dark Forest.” This hypothesis proposes that our cosmic neighborhood is dangerous, filled with intelligent civilizations that are hostile and silent to avoid detection by potential predators. In this context, the silence in searches for radio signals by the SETI community is not caused by the lack of extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations, but is instead a consequence of them fearing mutual destruction.
Our paper explores the possibility that the recently discovered interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, may provide evidence in support of the dark forest hypothesis. This new interstellar interloper has displayed a number of anomalous characteristics, some of which were summarized in an essay that I wrote shortly after its discovery. In particular...<<<Read More>>>..
Omega-3 fatty acids: A natural shield against depression and anxiety
Non-patentable omega-3s threaten the antidepressant industry's profits, leading to FDA/medical establishment dismissal despite robust evidence.
Wild-caught salmon, mackerel and sardines (3+ servings/week) or high-quality supplements (1,000+ mg EPA/DHA daily) optimize levels.
75% of people lack sufficient omega-3s due to processed foods (high omega-6 oils), while gut health and proper cooking methods enhance absorption.
Globalists push dependency on toxic pharmaceuticals; omega-3s empower individuals to resist systemic control and reclaim mental health.
Depression and anxiety now affect hundreds of millions worldwide, with Big Pharma pushing psychiatric drugs—many of which carry dangerous side effects—as the primary solution. But emerging research suggests that a simple, natural nutrient may play a far more protective role in mental health than synthetic medications: omega-3 fatty acids.
While mainstream medicine often overlooks nutritional interventions, studies continue to reveal that omega-3s—abundant in fatty fish and high-quality supplements—can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. A groundbreaking study analyzing data from the U.K. Biobank, one of the largest health databases in the world, found that individuals with higher omega-3 levels in their blood had 15% to 33% lower risk of depression and 19% to 22% lower risk of anxiety compared to those with deficiencies....<<<Read More>>>...
Digital ID, and the digitisation of all things, is the greatest risk humanity faces
The transformation of mankind involves the intentional fusing of human and machine through neuroscientific nanoscale brain-computer interfacing, with methods including “vaccines,” geoengineering, mRNA platforms and precision medicine.
The only solution to stop this technological transhuman invasion, he writes, is through education, exposure and mass non-compliance.
I do not know how many more times I will have to bring up the subject of the AI takeover; digitisation, digital ID, algorithmic confinement and technocratic incarceration that are being built and advanced at a pace that is obviously far beyond the scope of the common American plebiscite. This is the most crucial issue of our lives, and it has mostly been relegated as one piece among a plethora of distractive tyrannical events, without any cognitive awareness whatsoever that the digital usurpation of our existence is the end of all freedom and property, and possibly the end of mankind as we know it. Even with survival, the only resulting conclusion is that all those remaining will be slaves of a master class of evil technocrats.
But it gets even worse, because this “new” digital existence also depends upon and includes the total weaponisation of “healthcare,” medicine and the long-planned technological transformation of mankind. This aspect of human domination is dependent on weakening or destroying the human body, mind and soul as it exists, in order to eliminate the human spirit through a eugenic strategy, while rebuilding compliant cybernetic organisms. (Cyborgs) Robotics immediately comes to mind, but it is much bigger than that; it is the intentional fusing of human and machine at multiple levels, including through neuroscientific nanoscale brain-computer interfacing. The preparation for this linking-up of human and computer is already highly developed....<<<Read More>>>...
The Bizarro-World of the Forever Maskers
The claims of links to Covid circulating online amid the deadly chaos were not always proved beyond doubt, but in this climate of fear and confusion, a determined ‘Zero Covid’ community emerged. Co-opting a phrase that was originally an official public health policy, the ‘Zero Coviders’ believed they were watching a massacre in real time, and the maskless – especially those who were unvaccinated – were to blame. As governments relaxed the restrictions, they felt they needed to step up.
“I was like, ‘Okay, this is not right. This is f—–,'” says [Alyson] Hardwick, a second-year university student who does not have any underlying health conditions. The last time she ate indoors at a restaurant was in October 2022 for her 31st birthday. “I felt sketched out [uneasy],” she recalls. “I was leaving every place I was going inside without a mask, wondering, ‘Did I get it?’”
Hardwick began wearing a respirator mask – specialised, disposable facepieces called N95s or N99s which offer more comprehensive protection than a surgical mask – and spending most of her time alone.
She’s ostracised herself from other people and posts thousands of clips online and argues that it’s everyone else, not her, who is living in fear. “Denial is a fear response,” she insists....<<<Read More>>>...

Surge of mystery drone overflights target Europe's military nerve centers
Authorities have launched an investigation into the unauthorized overflight of a "restricted defense area" but have so far been unable to recover the drone or identify its operator. The local prosecutor's office said that "at this stage, there is no evidence to suggest whether this was a deliberate flight over these areas or simply an accidental overflight by the aircraft during another journey." ...<<<Read More>>>...
Face Masks Harmed Care Home Residents in Ways No Health and Safety Apparatchik Can Ever Understand
In March 2020 there was fear and uncertainty everywhere in social care. The arrival of COVID-19 in care homes was coincident with excess death rates. I recall one 56-bed home in Northwest England that saw 50% of its residents die within in one month. A few weeks later the senior team looked like they were experiencing PTSD symptoms. At this time the use of masks was not mandated, the prevailing view amongst politicians and their advisors being they were ineffective. Nevertheless, when panic strikes any straw will be grasped and it seemed to many masks ‘just might’ be effective and were ‘worth a try’. As a result, and understandable within a context of widespread anxiety, care homes strove to procure masks and other PPE as best they could.
From June 2020, probably partly to create an appearance of action, the guidance issued by infection control teams made a U-turn. Masks became ‘mandated’ and care home staff wore them diligently. The summer months went by with few or no COVID-19 cases, and care staff, perhaps wanting to connect their efforts with the good results, began to believe it was the masks and assorted PPE that were keeping COVID-19 away. We now know that, unsurprisingly, there were very few COVID-19 cases nationally at that time and this apparent success was a mere coincidence.
With the perception that masks were working having taken root, when set against their apparent life-saving qualities, concerns and complaints about the downsides of masks seemed to be of low importance, often being ascribed to stupidity and selfishness on behalf of the sceptics raising them. Then, in the winter, during the second wave of COVID-19, it became clear the supposition that masks were keeping people safe was on very shaky ground indeed....<<<Read More>>>...
Hard carbon electrodes allow sodium ion batteries to CHARGE FASTER than lithium ion
New research from Tokyo University of Science provides quantitative proof that sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) using hard carbon anodes can charge at rates exceeding those of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
The study employed an innovative "diluted electrode" method
to bypass traditional testing limitations, finally revealing the true,
fast-charging potential of hard carbon.
Scientists
identified that while the initial ion intake is rapid for both lithium
and sodium, the overall charging speed is limited by a "pore-filling"
process inside the electrode material, a process where sodium holds a
kinetic advantage.
These findings position SIBs not just as
a cheaper, safer, and more ethical alternative to LIBs, but as a
technology with distinct performance benefits, particularly for
applications requiring rapid power delivery....<<<Read More>>>...
Protecting children online is a pretext for total digital surveillance
Last month, we lamented California’s Frontier AI Act of 2025. The Act favours compliance over risk management, while shielding bureaucrats and lawmakers from responsibility. Mostly, it imposes top-down regulatory norms, instead of letting civil society and industry experts experiment and develop ethical standards from the bottom up.
Perhaps we could dismiss the Act as just another example of California’s interventionist penchant. But some American politicians and regulators are already calling for the Act to be a “template for harmonising federal and state oversight.” The other source for that template would be the European Union (“EU”), so it’s worth keeping an eye on the regulations spewed out of Brussels.
The EU is already way ahead of California in imposing troubling, top-down regulation. Indeed, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act of 2024 follows the EU’s overall precautionary principle. As the EU Parliament’s internal think tank explains, “the precautionary principle enables decision-makers to adopt precautionary measures when scientific evidence about an environmental or human health hazard is uncertain and the stakes are high.”
The precautionary principle gives immense power to the EU when it comes to regulating in the face of uncertainty – rather than allowing for experimentation with the guardrails of fines and tort law (as in the US). It stifles ethical learning and innovation. Because of the precautionary principle and associated regulation, the EU economy suffers from greater market concentration, higher regulatory compliance costs and diminished innovation – compared to an environment that allows for experimentation and sensible risk management. It is small wonder that only four of the world’s top 50 tech companies are European....<<<Read More>>>...

What happened to climate change?
Then, when Trump and other populist right-wingers began finding political success, climate arguably became the primary issue that helped unify the establishment centrists, moderate left-liberals, and far-left progressives who made up the broad anti-Trump, anti-populist coalition.
Fanatical climate alarmism became a way to demonstrate one's anti-Trump credibility and a way for Trump's opponents in media, academia, and politics to portray the president as not just out of touch but as a significant threat to the survival of the human species.
The moral panic accelerated considerably during Trump's first term. A 2018 UN study reported that, unless there was a serious reduction in global emissions by 2030, the world would surpass the UN's 2015 goal of limiting warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The media and politicians then stretched the findings of the study as much as they could get away with in order to convince everyday people that humanity would literally go extinct in a generation or two and nearly everyone below the age of sixty would die grisly, climate-related deaths unless we allowed the government the power to control nearly every aspect of our lives....<<<Read More>>>...
Mystery of the Urantia Book: best book ever written has no human author
Originating in the early 20th century, this work claims to be the product of celestial beings, offering an expanded view of the cosmos, the nature of divinity, and the role of humanity within the grand scheme of existence.
The actual authorship remains a matter of debate, though it has been noted that it appears to have plagiarized multiple sources, without attribution. It received various degrees of interest ranging from praise to criticism for its religious and science-related content, its unusual length, and the unusual names and origins of the authors named within the book.
At the heart of The Urantia Book is the quest for unity among the diverse fields of human inquiry. It attempts to harmonize religion, science, and philosophy into a coherent worldview, suggesting that these disciplines are not disparate threads but part of a single tapestry of truth....<<<Read More>>>...
British Parliament rejects call to roll back Online Safety Act
Critics argue the OSA, designed to protect children from harmful content, has become a broad censorship tool, suppressing lawful political speech and forcing the closure of small online forums due to heavy compliance burdens.
In response to the OSA, VPN usage in the U.K. surged by 700%, leading some MPs to propose regulating the privacy tools themselves as a way to enforce the Act's restrictions.
The parliamentary debate revealed significant concern that the law is eroding privacy and free speech, with critics drawing parallels to historical censorship and warning it sets a dangerous global precedent for digital control under the guise of safety.
Despite acknowledging problems, the government is moving to expand the OSA's scope, targeting encrypted messaging and AI, while opposition from the public and international figures like U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance highlights a growing divide over digital freedoms.
The British Parliament recently debated the repeal of its controversial Online Safety Act (OSA), responding to a public petition that garnered over 160,000 signatures. Yet rather than addressing concerns over government overreach, Members of Parliament (MPs) doubled down on calls for stricter internet controls like expanding age verification, cracking down on virtual private network (VPN) usage and demanding artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots be policed like digital trespassers.
The debate was held in a sparsely attended Westminster Hall on Monday, Dec. 15. It revealed a widening chasm between public demands for digital freedom and political insistence on tighter regulation – raising alarms about censorship, surveillance, and the erosion of privacy in one of the world’s oldest democracies.
The OSA, enacted to shield children from harmful content such as pornography and violent extremism, has instead morphed into a sprawling censorship apparatus, forcing lawful political discussions and independent forums offline while empowering tech giants to act as arbiters of truth. Civil liberties groups warn that the law has effectively "childproofed" the internet for adults, requiring invasive age checks just to access basic content.
VPN usage surged by 700% in the UK following the OSA's implementation, as citizens scrambled to bypass restrictions. This prompted MPs like Jim McMahon (Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton) and Julia Lopez (Hornchurch and Upminster) to suggest regulating the privacy tools themselves.
Critics argue the OSA's vague language invites overzealous enforcement. Small forums, including fan communities and local message boards, have shuttered under the weight of compliance burdens, with one administrator of a message board for the soccer club Sunderland AFC nearly closing shop after struggling to navigate the British Office of Communications' (Ofcom) labyrinthine guidelines....<<<Read More>>>...
“Superflu,” tap water and the NHS
He criticises the global warming movement, suggesting that their proposal to drink tap water instead of bottled water is part of a depopulation plan, as tap water contains residues of prescription drugs. And he argues that the UK’s State-controlled healthcare system is possibly the worst in the Western world.
It is alleged that children are suffering most from this winter’s flu, which is, it is alleged, at large in the UK today. It is probably illegal even to ask if this could possibly be because their immune systems have been wrecked by an endless barrage of useless and toxic vaccinations (including the toxic and useless covid vaccine). Incidentally, the flu vaccine given to children in the UK is a “live” vaccine. Children who have the vaccine may, therefore, pass the flu onto their relatives. This will undoubtedly be a great help to the conspirators who are so desperate to kill off the elderly this winter. Incidentally, psychopathic doctors who are still injecting patients with the covid vaccine should be aware that they are obliged to tell their patients about any possible side effects and to obtain patients’ informed consent. Those doctors who do not do this should lose their licences if patients report them for not doing so. And they should be locked up for at least a decade, too.
Global warming fruitcakes are suggesting that we should all drink tap water rather than bottled water. This can only be part of the depopulation plan so loved by the conspirators. Tap water contains the residues of the prescription drugs taken, excreted and dumped into the rivers from which the tap water is often taken. Water companies are unable to remove prescription drug residues from drinking water. The presence of female hormones in the drinking water explains why fertility rates have collapsed and why young British males look and behave like teenage girls....<<<Read More>>>...
BREAKING: ‘Superflu’ Wave Goes into Decline Early
This is earlier than in many previous years, where the peak and drop-off coincided with Christmas.
While there may yet be a further uptick in cases, it means the worries of a runaway epidemic accelerating out of control and bringing health services to their knees (a supposedly “worst case scenario“) have turned out to be misplaced – to the surprise of no Daily Sceptic readers or anyone who follows the data and not just the hysterical media froth.

New Homes Must be Bird-Friendly Despite Reeves War on “Green Tape”
In a shake-up of England’s planning rules, Labour will insist that new builds are fitted with nature-friendly features such as swift bricks, hollow nesting boxes for the bird species that fit into walls.
The Chancellor has railed against “green tape” holding back the economy, saying that businesses should be able to “focus on getting things built and stop worrying about the bats and the newts”.
Earlier this year, she complained that “absolutely insane” environmental regulation had become a “barrier” to investment, pointing to the £100 million spent on a ‘bat tunnel’ as part of HS2.
However, the Government has now announced that it will introduce rules, designed to protect endangered species, for new builds.
The measures are included in its proposed overhaul of England’s national planning policy framework (NPPF), hailed as the “biggest rewrite” of the planning rulebook in a decade.
Labour said the reforms would help to hit its target of building 1.5 million new homes by the end of this Parliament.
Among the “key revisions” listed on Tuesday was the statement: “New builds to include nature-friendly features, such as installing swift bricks to support wildlife – adding little to building costs whilst delivering a win-win for nature and housebuilding.”
Swifts nest in nooks and crannies in Britain’s buildings. Once a common sight in English skies, their numbers are now declining, placing them on the UK’s red list for birds.
A lack of nesting sites is thought to be one reason behind a falling population, as well as reduced food supplies because of a drop in the number of insects available to eat.
It is understood the bricks will be treated as a requirement for new homes, with developers expected to include them unless there are compelling technical reasons preventing their use or making them ineffective....<<<Read More>>>...
The evidence is clear: Masks don't do anything
We went over this (a lot) in 2020. Then we went over it again in 2023. Masks don't work, they never worked, and - prior to 2020 - the academic literature was very clear on this.
In a 2016 literature review, infection control expert Dr John Hardie found [emphasis added]:
Between 2004 and 2016 at least a dozen research or review articles have been published on the inadequacies of face masks. All agree that the poor facial fit and limited filtration characteristics of face masks make them unable to prevent the wearer inhaling airborne particles. In their well-referenced 2011 article on respiratory protection for healthcare workers, Drs. Harriman and Brosseau conclude that, "facemasks will not protect against the inhalation of aerosols."
Health care workers have long relied heavily on surgical masks to provide protection against influenza and other infections. Yet there are no convincing scientific data that support the effectiveness of masks for respiratory protection.
It should be concluded from these and similar studies that the filter material of face masks does not retain or filter out viruses...<<<Read More>>>...
“Death by doctor” goes global in 2026
Instances of prolonged and distressing deaths are frequent, with a high incidence of vomiting, re-awakening from coma and prolongation of the dying process – some people take up to seven days to die.
This is not hyperbole.
A study performed in the Netherlands showed that in 21 of 114 cases, the patient did not die as soon as expected or woke up, and the doctor had to “kill” them for a second time.
Doctor-assisted suicide, also known as physician-assisted dying (PAD), medical aid in dying (“MAiD”) or voluntary assisted dying (“VAD”), is legal in several countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United States and Uruguay.
In addition, several countries have constitutional court rulings that have effectively legalised assisted dying, though legislative implementation is pending or incomplete, including Italy and Estonia.
In the UK, legislation to legalise doctors murdering their patients is currently in the House of Lords, having been passed by the House of Commons. Titled ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’, it is a private members’ bill introduced into parliament by Kim Leadbeater, Labour MP for Spen Valley, and is currently at the Committee Stage before it has its third reading in the House of Lords, a date for which has not yet been set.
Woman Recognised as “First Black Briton” by BBC was Actually White
In 2016, the series Black and British: A Forgotten History suggested that the Roman skeleton of a woman found at Beachy Head was from sub-Saharan Africa.
A plaque was erected to commemorate her heritage, which was later removed when a study suggested the woman was more likely to be from Cyprus, with a Mediterranean complexion.
Now a new DNA analysis of the skeleton by scientists at the Natural History Museum has shown that the woman originated from southern England and was white, with blonde hair and light eyes.
Dr William Marsh, who carried out the genetic study, said, “By using state of the art DNA techniques we were able to resolve the origins of this individual. We show she carries genetic ancestry that is most similar to other individuals from the local population of Roman-era Britain.”
The claim about the skeleton’s African origins was made in Prof David Olusoga’s documentary series, which told the story of the “enduring relationship between Britain and people whose origins lie in Africa”.
In episode one, the Beachy Head woman was presented as “sub-Saharan African in origin”, and the programme featured a reconstruction of her features, with dark skin, hair and eyes.
In the programme, Prof Olusoga remarked that “she’s a black Briton”, while Jo Seaman, an expert archaeologist, explained that her African origins and the age of her remains were likely to have made her the “earliest black Briton”....<<<Read More>>>...

Reset From Stress to Serenity
Yet, no matter what this time of year brings for you, it also offers a kind invitation — to take care of yourself in new or familiar ways. To pause between destinations, give your nervous system a moment of rest when you’re feeling overwhelmed, and offer yourself simple, holistic practices like gentle movement, reflective journaling, or calming breathwork to help reset your energy and well-being.
And maybe that’s one of the quieter gifts of this season: the reminder that caring for ourselves isn’t something extra — it’s something essential. When we nourish our bodies and nervous systems with warmth and intention, we’re more likely to meet life in ways that feel grounded and joyful. Not perfectly. Not performatively. But with your whole self — embodied in presence and heart. (Daily OM)
Discover your destiny
People are talking endlessly not only about morality and moral rules in general, but about what they think you should do specifically.
Date? Not date? Get married or not? Have children or not? Hustle hard and get rich — or lay low and get out of the hamster wheel? Do the responsible corporate job or quit and open your weird startup? Escape to the countryside or create a futuristic metropolitan enclave? Everybody seems to have their answers, trying to impose them on the rest of us. We are surrounded by a shrill new Heideggerian "they" that never shuts up, forever tugging us here and there, and once we have regained balance, again comes at us with the worst advice at the worst possible moment.
If this gets on your nerves, good for you: it's the first step to actually start becoming sovereign, or morally self-sufficient, as I like to call it. More often than not, however, people get needlessly confused: they adopt some kind of half-truth they read somewhere, try to force it on the reality of their situation, and then wonder why they land in the dirt, face first...<<<Read More>>>...
Brace Yourselves Once Again for the Mask Madness
Many will recall the little girl from the 1982 Poltergeist film, standing in front of the TV set, announcing the return of the malevolent spirits. These iconic words seem an appropriate way to announce the reappearance of the pro-mask ghouls who, over recent days, have been beseeching us all to wear a face covering to protect ourselves (and, of course, the NHS) from the consequences of the scary-sounding ‘super flu’.
It is the usual suspects who are screaming again. A senior NHS mandarin, Daniel Elkeles, has said that the UK faces “a tidal wave” of illness and that people should “get back into the habit” of mask-wearing. Pandemic industry technocrats at the UK Health Security Agency have repeated their highly dubious claims that strapping pieces of porous plastic across our airways can protect ourselves and others from those pesky microscopic pathogens. Most predictably of all, Professor Trish Greenhalgh has popped her pantyhose-clad head above her ideological trench to broadcast the benefits of multi-layered face coverings. And of course, the BBC has been keen to amplify this nonsense in its reporting of specific hospitals that are recommending masks for their staff and service users.
It hardly warrants repeating that the more robust scientific studies, together with the bulk of the real-world evidence, show that masks constitute an ineffectual viral barrier, and no amount of evidential cherry-picking and fantastical claims about ‘source control’ will change that conclusion. And how do the muzzle mafia manage to avoid any consideration of the multiplicity of significant harms associated with ubiquitous masking? Maybe their mono-focused minds don’t care about the collateral damage of their crusade....<<<Read More>>>...
AI Found to Mislead Voters and Change Election Outcomes
The problem here is not just that AI is shifting public opinion. A fifth of claims fed to users were rated predominantly inaccurate. So, pairing the automated models’ misinformation, their sheer persuasiveness, and the fact that 44% of US adults are already using tools like ChatGPT regularly, we must ponder some key points: how does this shape future elections, how can we control deliberate misinformation, and what if unscrupulous actors find a way to exploit these systems?
Shifting voters’ preferences by between two and fifteen percentage points is an effect so large it could flip almost any modern election. These models don’t rely on emotional manipulation. Instead, they bombard users with confident streams of information – some accurate, but much of it not. In fact, the most persuasive systems were also the least truthful.
In the US, when Trump supporters engaged with a pro-Harris chatbot, their support shifted 3.9 percentage points towards Harris. Harris supporters exposed to a pro-Trump model moved 2.3 points in the opposite direction. These swings are extraordinary in magnitude considering that most political advertisements and campaigns achieve far less than a one-point shift – often statistically indistinguishable from zero.
The 3.9-point shift in favour of Harris is four times greater than the measured effect of all political ads during the 2016 and 2020 elections....<<<Read More>>>...
