Boskop Man: Species of Homo that were smarter than humans
They are named so because they were found in the vicinity of the South African settlement of Boskop. It happened more than a century ago, and scientific discussions about the findings continue to this day.
In 1913, the remains of humanoid creatures that lived about 30,000 years before our era, that is, just at the dawn of the appearance of Homo sapiens, fell into the hands of Frederick Fitzsimmons, director of the museum in Port Elizabeth (the territory of present-day South Africa).
According to Fitzsimmons, these could not have been the distant ancestors of mankind: their brain volume reached 1900 cubic centimetres, which is a third more than that of modern people. For this reason, the director of the museum confidently stated that these are Cro-Magnons, who are considered the forerunners of mankind, but at the same time belong to one of the extinct branches....<<<Read More>>>....
Net Zero Conservative MPs Promote Scheme to Cover Ponds With Solar Panels That’s Completely Quackers
If they were bats mistaking floating solar panels for water, hundreds of millions, maybe billions, of pounds would need to be spent constructing elaborate protecting tunnels (okay, I know the Sun will not be able to shine on the panels, but it doesn’t much anyway in the winter, and I am just making it all up, like everyone else in the Net Zero business). The last Conservative government allowed spending of £120 million to protect a few rare bats by building a 1,000-metre tunnel on the new high-speed railway from London to Birmingham. But then perhaps such magic money-tree largesse would not be available for water bird-whacking solar panels – ‘green’ technology is good and different rules apply. Bats are killed in their millions worldwide by giant wind turbines, but nobody gives a flying squeak about that.
The CEN wants the UK Government to cut red tape to “unleash” solar farm developments on “man-made bodies of water” and to help projects selling power to the electricity grid. It is claimed that red tape has put a straitjacket on private investment in the UK floating solar industry. Man-made water areas are said to include disused docks and quarries along with on-farm reservoirs. CEN wants to encourage water companies to build solar farms on the 570 reservoirs that exist in the UK, potentially generating 2.7 terawatt-hours of electricity....<<<Read More>>>...
The superfood power of CRANBERRIES: Tiny berries with mighty benefits
Cranberries are rich in phytonutrients like proanthocyanidins (PACs), quercetin, ursolic acid and resveratrol, and essential nutrients like vitamins C and E, fiber and manganese, making them a superfood with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Cranberries are known for preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) by inhibiting bacterial adhesion. They also support heart health, digestive health, cancer prevention and immune function due to their high antioxidant content.
Cranberries can be consumed fresh, dried, juiced or in supplement form. They are used in a variety of recipes, from muffins and salads to chutneys and smoothie bowls, offering both flavor and health benefits.
Cranberries are traditionally harvested using a wet method where bogs are flooded and the floating berries are collected, creating a visually striking and efficient process.
Cranberries, the vibrant red berries native to North America, have long been celebrated for their tart flavor and impressive health benefits. These small, evergreen shrubs, scientifically known as Vaccinium macrocarpon, belong to the heather family and thrive in acidic bogs and wetlands. With a history dating back centuries, cranberries have evolved from a Native American staple to a globally recognized superfood. ...<<<Read More>>>...
A warning to Australians: Look what’s happened in the UK; policing “hate speech” online does not stop criminal acts
While UK police use time and resources to arrest thousands every year for perceived online “hate speech,” the very real threat from Islamic extremists is ignored.
In the video below, Sky News host Peta Credlin interviews retired UK police officer Julian Foulkes, who warns Australians about speech being labelled as a “hate crime” using the example of the attack on free speech in the UK.
“The UK government’s crackdown on hate speech is reportedly seeing as many as 30 arrests a day,” Credlin said. “The UK is clearly the canary in the coalmine here.”
Referring to the “hate crime” bill that is being rushed through the Australian Parliament, Foulkes said: “Be very careful as to what you vote for, what you want, because this will morph into something much worse....<<<Read More>>>...

Clearing What Holds Us Back
What’s easy to forget is that our ability to show up as our best selves often depends on taking time to replenish ourselves — to create a sense of spaciousness within that allows the mind to settle and the nervous system to calm. Creating that space might begin with something tangible, like setting new boundaries or lightening a packed schedule. But it also invites a gentler slowing down: noticing the things that keep us rushed, reactive, or stressed, and giving ourselves permission to let them go.
When we clear away what no longer serves us, something wonderful happens. We become calmer, more grounded, and more present in the moments that matter. Creating space then turns into an act of devotion—not only to ourselves, but to the life we’re participating in. And from that place, we’re able to open our hearts and feel a kind of freedom we may not have experienced in years....<<<Read More>>>...
Wind Farms Championed by Starmer Face Axe After Miliband Snub
The developer behind the proposed Mona and Morgan wind farms in the Irish Sea said the projects were no longer viable after missing out on taxpayer support during the latest auction.
That is despite Sir Keir Starmer having championed the sites last year, claiming they were proof of the UK’s commitment to green energy.
Energy company EnBW, which originally backed the schemes alongside BP, said: “The primary reason for EnBW’s withdrawal is that the two projects did not receive Government support.
“In combination with other factors beyond its control, this implies that the projects are no longer economically viable.
“These include increasingly deteriorating conditions such as cost increases across the supply chain, higher interest rates and ongoing project implementation risks.”
The comment risks dashing hopes for £100 million of planned investment in the projects and putting hundreds of jobs in Scotland and Belfast at risk.
BP’s failure to prop up the scheme reflects its continued retreat from green energy, instead choosing to focus on traditional sectors such as oil and gas.
After initially partnering with EnBW, BP has now moved its share into JERA Nex bp, a 50-50 partnership with Japan’s JERA.
This joint venture insisted there “are still good pathways” to deliver the projects despite EnBW saying otherwise...<<<Read More>>>...
Beyond the hack: Ancient medicine decodes the persistent cough
Chronic coughs lasting over three weeks often signal internal imbalances or conditions like allergies or acid reflux, requiring a different approach.
TCM employs stage-based treatment, using targeted herbal formulas and avoiding foods that exacerbate the specific cough type.
Therapies like Tianjiu (summer acupoint plasters) are used preventively to strengthen lung function and expel deep-seated pathogens.
A holistic TCM strategy addresses diet, environment and constitutional balance to provide sustained relief and prevent recurrence.
In clinics and homes each winter, the sound of coughing becomes a near-constant refrain. For many, a lingering cough is a frustrating mystery, often misdiagnosed as a stubborn cold and treated with over-the-counter remedies that provide little lasting relief. This common struggle is where the millennia-old wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a fundamentally different path. Moving beyond symptom suppression, TCM practitioners engage in a form of medical detective work, classifying coughs into distinct patterns to address their root causes. This ancient, holistic approach is gaining renewed attention today as individuals seek sustainable solutions for chronic respiratory issues that conventional methods sometimes fail to resolve....<<<Read More>>>...
Australia’s proposed “hate crime” bill is not only an attack on free speech; it opens the door to belief-based punishment
The “hate crime” bill that is being rushed through by the Australian government is officially called the ‘Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill’. It is a sweeping piece of legislation introduced in response to the December Bondi Beach attack, so it is claimed.
The Bill aims to crack down on “hate speech,” particularly from religious or spiritual leaders (“hate preachers”), with a maximum penalty of 12 years in prison for inciting violence or promoting racial hatred.
“The ban on hate symbols will be strengthened, including by requiring a person caught displaying a symbol to prove that it was legitimate – a reversal of the burden of proof requiring prosecutors to prove a crime occurred,” The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Adding, “Changes to migration law will allow the immigration minister to refuse or cancel visas if a person has associated with hate groups or made hateful comments, including online.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The digital line: New study pinpoints when gaming stops being fun and starts being harmful
Those exceeding this limit showed poorer diet quality, higher body weight (with a median BMI in the overweight range) and worse sleep compared to moderate gamers (under 10 hours).
Researchers propose the core issue is displacement: excessive gaming crowds out time for healthy meal preparation, physical activity and adequate rest, while also encouraging mindless snacking.
The findings highlight a particular concern for university students, as unhealthy habits formed during this independent life stage can solidify into long-term lifestyle patterns.
The study advocates for conscious moderation, not prohibition, suggesting practical steps like regular breaks, avoiding late-night play and healthier snacks to preserve enjoyment without sacrificing health.
In an era where screen time is a default pastime for millions, a new scientific study delivers a stark warning: The line between moderate recreation and harmful excess may be crossed at just 10 hours of video games per week. Research led by Australia's Curtin University, published in the academic journal Nutrition, finds that young adults who game beyond that threshold show significantly worse diets, poorer sleep and higher body weight than their peers. The study, surveying 317 university students with a median age of 20, provides concrete data to a growing societal concern about the physical cost of our digital immersion.
While playing a video game occasionally can be a harmless form of relaxation, spending excessive hours daily on the computer—as millions of children do—can destroy health. This overindulgence not only risks physical strain but also behavioral problems that diminish a child's ability to learn and function in family and society, a situation for which specialists say parents bear significant responsibility....<<<Read More>>>...
Starmer Poised to Ban Under-16s From Social Media
The Prime Minister had previously expressed scepticism about copying Australian age restrictions on social media platforms after warnings that a ban could push teenagers on to less-regulated sites.
But he has now dropped his opposition to the proposal and is open to legislation that would force the social media companies to bar under-16s from their platforms.
On Thursday, Sir Keir said: “We need to better protect children from social media. We’re looking at what’s happening in Australia, but all options are on the table in relation to what further protections we can put in place, whether that’s under-16s on social media, all options on the table.”
No 10 also signalled that the Prime Minister would not stand in the way of a Conservative amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, to be voted on next week, that would bring in an Australian-style ban.
One policy expert close to No 10 said: “This has clearly become a live issue for No 10. If you had a free vote tomorrow 70% of MPs would vote yes. It would be very popular with the public.”
Last weekend Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, said that the Tories would block under-16s from social media if the party wins the next election.
Her calls were backed by Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, who has been tipped to challenge Sir Keir for the Labour leadership.
Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, said he was “in favour of action” over a potential ban on social media for under-16s. He said social media had been “unleashed without properly understanding the consequences”.
Anthony Albanese, the Australian Prime Minister, introduced the world-first law last year which banned young people from platforms such as Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok.
If the Tory amendment is passed in the House of Lords next week, it will go to the House of Commons for a vote.
Smartphone Free Childhood, a parenting campaign group, said it had gathered 100,000 letters to MPs urging them to back the ban.
The change in approach is reflected in a series of government appointments of people who support further restrictions on social media....<<<Read More>>>....
BritCard was a smokescreen; UK government has not shelved plans for compulsory digital IDs
The government has only scrapped the “BritCard” scheme; it is still proceeding with plans to require some form of digital identification.
“By using the BritCard deception to misrepresent digital identity, the government provided the people with a loathed bogeyman they could easily defeat. The evident ploy was supposed to lull the people into accepting their digital identities by convincing them they had successfully rejected the fake BritCard version of digital ID,” Iain Davis writes.
UK social media was alight a couple of days ago (at the time of writing) with various individuals and groups congratulating each other, and even taking credit, for forcing the Labour government into an ignominious “climb-down” or embarrassing “U-turn” on digital ID.
A tiny gaggle of politicians patted themselves on the back for defeating the government, claiming “mandatory digital ID is dead.” Popular talking heads were thanking their “fellow activists” for showing the government what “people power really means” and various “independent media” figures were effusing about the successful “push-back against digital ID.”
The message came through loud and clear. If we act in unison, the government has to listen and respond. The representative democratic system works. TRUST THE SYSTEM!
Unfortunately, the celebration was a bit premature because the great movement of the people, the millions of petition signatures, the protests and the stiff letters to Members of Parliament (“MP’s”) have made no difference whatsoever to the government’s push to enforce digital ID – digital identity – on all of us.
Speaking the day after propagandists ran countless articles and reports claiming “mandatory digital ID” had been shelved, Prime Minister Keir Starmer told parliament: “There will be checks. They will be digital and they will be mandatory.”...<<<Read More>>>....

The Collapse of the Vegan Boom
Signs of veganism’s decline appeared in a recent report by the Good Food Institute Europe, which found that sales of plant-based food in Britain fell by 4.5% to £898 million in the year to January 2025.
Separate data from NIQ show that the share of households buying plant-based meat alternatives at least once a year has waned since 2022, with the organisation highlighting a shift in “flexitarian shoppers back into animal-based proteins”. …
The current state of affairs is a far cry from five years ago, when shoppers could hardly move for vegan ad campaigns.
Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Asda and Aldi all unveiled plant-based ranges while KFC, Krispy Kreme and Magnum made similar attempts to cash in on the vegan hype.
But many are starting to realise the appetite from consumers simply isn’t there. Last year, Wagamama axed a string of vegan favourites from menus, including its ‘Vegatsu’ curry and its ‘vegan K-Dogs’. Andy Hornby, the Chief Executive of the chain’s owner, The Restaurant Group, argued that interest from diners wasn’t high enough to justify continuing the dishes’ inclusion.
Marketing for the chain’s most recent menu additions makes noticeably less of a fuss about its vegan credentials.
“People are realising that the volumes going through fully vegan products are very low,” says Futter.
“For manufacturers, when volumes are that small and you can’t see a long-term future, there comes a point where you decide to do something else.”...<<<Read More>>>...
Meta to cut more than 1,000 jobs as its shifts focus to AI wearables
The division has lost over $70 billion since 2021, with many products failing to generate significant revenue. Meta is scaling back VR hardware investments to prioritize sustainability.
Meta plans to redirect savings into AI-powered wearables, including expanding production of smart glasses (e.g., Ray-Ban) in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, targeting up to 20 million units annually by end of 2026.
While Meta will still develop Metaverse products, it’s prioritizing mobile platforms and AI creator tools over immersive VR headsets. Horizon (Metaverse software) will focus on mobile experiences for broader adoption.
Meta is shutting down three in-house VR game studios (Armature, Sanzaru, Twisted Pixel) and halting new content for VR fitness app Supernatural. Gaming remains a priority, but investment will shift to third-party developers for long-term sustainability.
Meta Platforms Inc. is set to cut more than 1,000 jobs from its Reality Labs division as the company redirects resources away from virtual reality and Metaverse products toward artificial intelligence-powered (AI-powered) wearables and mobile features.
According to an internal post from Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, employees affected by the layoffs will be notified starting on Jan. 20. The cuts are expected to affect roughly 10% of the Reality Labs workforce, which totals about 15,000 employees....<<<Read More>>>...
UN uses “children’s rights” to bypass parents and target children
This is not the first attack on children, families and all of our futures using “children’s rights” as the excuse. In 2023, the UN issued “guidance” which explicitly links “children’s rights” to the UN’s nefarious climate change agenda.
In 2023, the UN issued new guidance to member states from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The Committee produces “General Comments” to explain the rights contained in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (“CRC”) and its Optional Protocols and provide guidance with respect to particular issues. General Comments are key standards that help States improve both the way they write their reports and the way they implement the treaties.
General Comment No. 26 provides a comprehensive interpretation of UN member States’ obligations under the CRC and affirms for the first time that children have a fundamental right to live in a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. It explicitly links this right to the “climate crisis,” biodiversity loss and pollution, emphasising that States must not only protect children from immediate environmental harm but also prevent foreseeable future violations due to current actions or inaction.
The Committee stresses that States are accountable for environmental harm occurring both within their borders and beyond and urges urgent action, including phasing out fossil fuels, transitioning to renewable energy, improving air and water quality, and protecting biodiversity. It also mandates that children’s views be meaningfully considered in environmental decision-making and highlights the importance of environmental education....<<<Read More>>>....

Your mind can bend time - Here's how
This idea was put to the test in a 2023 Harvard study. Researchers induced minor bruising on participants' forearms and then had them sit in rooms where the clocks ran at normal speed, half-speed, or double-speed.
Crucially, the actual elapsed time was identical across all conditions — 28 minutes — but the clocks ticked at different rates.
The results surprised the researchers. Wounds healed faster when people thought more time had passed, and slower when they thought less time had passed. "Personally, I didn't think it would work," lead author Peter Aungle told The Epoch Times. "And then it did work!"
A century ago, Albert Einstein demonstrated that time is relative — not fixed. He explained the idea with a simple, humorous example:
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity." Now, psychologists and neuroscientists are finding that our sense of time is not only inherently subjective but also highly malleable. We can't stop the clock, but by understanding how we perceive time, we can make minutes feel longer, heal faster, and even expand our memories....<<<Read More>>>...
The uncomfortable signal: Why your brain craves—and needs—boredom
Constant digital stimulation silences this signal, leading to a chronic "desire for desires" and mental fatigue.
Uninterrupted boredom activates the brain's default mode network, crucial for self-reflection, memory and creativity.
Experts recommend intentional "boredom breaks" and pre-planned personal activities to harness boredom's guidance.
Cultivating "healthy boredom" is presented as an antidote to digital overload and a path to greater focus and purpose.
In an age of infinite digital distraction, a growing body of psychological and neuroscientific research is delivering a counterintuitive message: the restless, irritable feeling of boredom is not a bug in human cognition but a vital feature. Experts now argue that by constantly reaching for smartphones to silence this discomfort, we are drowning out an essential internal compass designed to guide us toward meaningful engagement. This silent epidemic of overstimulation is fragmenting attention, increasing mental fatigue and potentially robbing individuals of the mental space needed to confront deeper questions of purpose and happiness....<<<Read More>>>...
The Cellular Miracle of Mitochondria
What makes mitochondria especially fascinating is that they respond directly to how we live. Emotional overload, chronic stress, or long periods of inactivity place a subtle but persistent strain on them. Over time, this can show up as burnout — the kind of tiredness that lingers even after a good night’s sleep. By contrast, gentle movement, deep breathing, and nourishing food signal safety to the body, allowing mitochondria to repair, multiply, and work more efficiently.
In many ways, caring for your mitochondria is an investment in your well-being. It’s choosing rhythms that support your body instead of overriding it. It’s understanding that energy isn’t something you force — it’s something you cultivate. When you tend to your inner environment with patience and care, your body responds in kind, helping you feel more alive, vibrant, and capable of meeting life as it unfolds.(Daily OM)
Ursula von der Leyen: Free speech is a virus; we need a vaccine
In the following, Ben Bartee reminds us of Ursula von der Leyen’s eagerness to vaccinate the world. Not only against whatever the latest disease Bill Gates has found to profit from, but also against “the virus” that is free speech.
In 2024, Ursula von der Leyen, non-popularly-elected president of the European Commission* and ultra-girlboss extraordinaire, came out swinging against free speech in a white-knuckle speech in which she likened “malign information” to a “virus” that society must be inoculated against (by the state, obviously) via the “vaccine” of “prebunking,” a euphemism for censorship.
“And finally, it takes resilience. As technology evolves, we need to build up societal immunity around information manipulation. Because research has shown that prebunking is more successful than debunking … in short, prevention is preferable to cure.
Perhaps if you think of information manipulation as a virus. Instead of treating an infection once it has taken hold – that is debunking – it is much better to vaccinate so that the body is inoculated.
Prebunking is the same approach. Because disinformation relies on people passing it on to others. It is essential that people know what malign information influence is and what the techniques are that are behind it …
And as the knowledge goes up, our chances of being influenced goes down, and that builds up the societal resilience that we will need.” ...<<<Read More>>>...
Digital ID is Dead. Now What?
But now this impediment has been removed as the Government source claims, will the conversation proceed to a helpful conclusion? I doubt it. It’s stuck in an endless rehashing of clichés: ID ‘cards’, Chinese-style social credit system, a papers please society, a honey pot for hackers. The politics of digital ID are not sophisticated or even informed. The lack of a well thought through politics of digital ID cannot be blamed for the current mess. Guy de la Bédoyère’s account in the Daily Sceptic will be familiar to most of us, but could politics actually help? Having once again pressed the digital ID jack back into its box, we have an opportunity to improve our lot before it inevitably springs back into the national consciousness and we repeat the whole pantomime, yet again.
So, what position should those of us on the Right take? On what principles should we base that position? I believe it boils down to this: if we believe in property rights, then we need the means to prove ownership. The property in question is usually thought of in physical terms and the means of proof in that realm are well established. But what about the digital world? Those rights apply there too but the means to prove ownership are not well established and that puts those rights at risk. Less abstractly, there is only so far society can progress with a picture of a gas bill at its foundation. We need the means to prove our identity (and therefore ownership) in the digital realm not because it is mandated by a government that would just as soon have every one of us wearing multiple lanyards, but because it underpins the digital aspects of our society which we want to be fair, orderly and accountable. And we need it with, or preferably without, government....<<<Read More>>>...

300-million-years-old cast iron cup from Oklahoma
The man who made this discovery was Frank J. Kennard, and according to his account, the object was found nestled within a substantial block of coal. However, the true enigma surrounding this cup lies in its perplexing age, a characteristic it shares with numerous other artifacts discovered across the globe, sparking considerable debate among researchers.
Such finds are categorized as out-of-place artifacts, often abbreviated as OOPArt, due to their inexplicable presence within geological strata where their existence is deemed chronologically impossible. Throughout history, numerous such anomalous objects have been documented, yet the majority have vanished over time, leaving little trace of their existence. The narrative of this particular artifact commenced in 1912 at a coal-fired power plant located in the town of Thomas, Oklahoma, USA....<<<Read More>>>....

Using Your Psychic Gifts
Clairvoyance, or clear seeing, is the ability to see with the mind’s eye. An individual who has honed their clairvoyant abilities may be able to see in their mind’s eye events in a remote location; to witness incidents that have yet to occur; or to perceive shapes, colors, and other images that are physically invisible. Clairaudience, which means clear listening, is the ability to hear sounds not physically audible. A person with the gift of clairaudience perceives psychic information as auditory resonance and may hear angelic voices, music, or other sounds. A clairsentient, or clear feeling, individual is able to sense physical, emotional, and spiritual energy in the form of seemingly unearthly scents, touches, and movements. Each of these psychic abilities can manifest themselves within us voluntarily or involuntarily. It is natural for us to have these abilities; we need only practice.
Developing your psychic talents is a matter of releasing your fear of seeing, hearing, or feeling inexplicable or disquieting stimulus. Before you attempt to consciously tap into your gifts, ground yourself to anchor your mind in the present so that you disconnect from any involuntary psychic experiences you may be having. Concentrate on your intuitive responses to the world around you, and notice any sights, sounds, or feelings that enter your mind. If you trust your perceptions, you’ll discover that each psychic impression you receive will be in some way relevant to your experience — even when that relevance may not be immediately recognizable.

BREAKING: Starmer Abandons Plans for Compulsory Digital ID
The Prime Minister had previously announced that the IDs would be compulsory to verify someone’s right to work in the UK.
Instead, they will be optional when they are introduced in 2029, with workers given the choice of whether to use other documents to verify their identity digitally instead.
A Government source said that the compulsory element “was stopping conversation about what digital IDs could be used for generally”.
The source said: “Stepping back from mandatory-use cases will deflate one of the main points of contention. We do not want to risk there being cases of some 65 year-old in a rural area being barred from working because he hasn’t installed the ID.”
In September Starmer said that he would “make a new, free-of-charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work before the end of this Parliament”. He said that “we need to know who is in our country” and that the IDs would prevent migrants who “come here, slip into the shadow economy and remain here illegally”.
Anyone starting a new job would have been required to “show” the digital ID, which would then be automatically checked against a central database of those entitled to work in the UK.
While right-to-work checks will still be mandatory other forms of documentation, such as an electronic visa or a passport, will be valid. A consultation to start within weeks will explore which verification checks could be used....<<<Read More>>>...

The healing power of miso: A traditional superfood under threat by globalist agendas
The Rockefeller-funded agrochemical industry pushes GMO soy and glyphosate to contaminate traditional miso, while Big Pharma suppresses probiotics to keep people dependent on gut-destroying antibiotics and vaccines.
The FDA ignores miso's benefits while rubber-stamping carcinogenic additives, pesticides and synthetic drugs through loopholes like GRAS, prioritizing profits over public health.
The World Economic Forum and Bill Gates promote lab-grown meat, insect protein and synthetic diets to replace nutrient-dense, traditional foods—part of their depopulation and control scheme.
By consuming organic, non-GMO miso and supporting small farmers, we defy the globalist food monopoly, detox from modern poisons and reclaim true health sovereignty.
Miso, the ancient fermented soybean paste revered in Japanese cuisine for centuries, is far more than just a flavorful ingredient—it is a potent superfood with profound health benefits. Rich in probiotics, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, miso supports gut health, boosts immunity and may even protect against radiation damage and cancer. Yet, despite its nutritional superiority, this traditional food faces suppression by globalist-controlled industries seeking to monopolize health and eliminate natural remedies that empower individuals......<<<Read More>>>....
Labour’s Islamophobia Definition “Unlawful”
The proposals could also backfire by inflaming tensions among other minority faith groups who might perceive it as favouring Muslims, says the analysis by the respected Counter Extremism Group (CEG), a research centre.
The report, by Dr Daniel Allington of King’s College, which was backed by a panel of experts including legislators and police, comes ahead of the publication of Labour’s official definition of anti-Muslim hostility.
Steve Reed, the Communities Secretary, is finalising the new definition based on a draft from an advisory group, headed by Dominic Grieve, the former Tory attorney general, which was submitted to the Government in October.
The non-statutory definition is aimed at providing guidance for behaviour codes that public bodies, councils and businesses could adopt to combat prejudice, discrimination and hostility towards Muslims.
The group’s definition has avoided the word “Islamophobia” and instead called it “anti-Muslim hostility” so that it focuses on hate towards Muslims rather than Islam. It follows concerns over its potential impact on free speech and fears of a back-door blasphemy law.
However, the CEG report claimed that any definition was unnecessary because existing UK equality, hate and human rights laws already provided adequate protection for members of all faith groups, including Muslims. …
It added that existing laws also safeguarded free speech because, while protecting the right to practise and promote a religion, they also underpinned the right to criticise religions and their associated practices...<<<Read More>>>...
Gut Cure: How to restore your microbiome so your body can do what it was designed to do
Short-chain fatty acids (“SCFAs”), especially butyrate, are essential compounds made by healthy gut bacteria that help repair your gut lining, calm inflammation, stabilise blood sugar and support mental clarity.
Modern diets heavy in seed oils (including linoleic acid), emulsifiers and ultra-processed foods disrupt beneficial bacteria and reduce butyrate production, leaving your gut undernourished even if you eat “healthy” foods.
Simple changes, such as replacing seed oils with stable fats like butter, ghee or coconut oil, can lower inflammation, rebalance your microbiome and help your body begin healing from the inside out....<<<Read More>>>...

Ancient texts reveal: Earth was ruled for 241,000 years by 8 kings who came from heaven
