Seven of nine key systems have been breached – as scientists warn ‘we’re rapidly running out of time’

 More doom and gloom, low vibrational fear generating words .... treat it with a pinch of salt, a smile and see it as what the parasites want you to believe ... by not believing it, you prevent the effect they wish for you. Clap trap from pseudoscientists .... designed to make you quake in your boots and welcome in Agenda 2030.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Earth’s life-support systems are failing, with seven of nine planetary boundaries now breached, scientists warn in a global assessment that says time to reverse course is running out.

The Planetary Health Check 2026, written by more than 60 international researchers, examined climate change, ocean acidification, stratospheric ozone, land-system change, biosphere integrity and other measures. Four sit in the high-risk red zone, three in the increasing-risk yellow zone, and only two remain in the safe green zone.

“The impact of transgressing planetary boundaries are becoming increasingly clear all around us,” the report says. “Results published in the last year show that climate change is progressing faster than previously expected, causing unprecedented heatwaves on land and in the ocean and fuelling destructive extreme weather events.”
 

It cites the worst mass bleaching of tropical coral reefs on record, a credible risk of a shutdown of the main Atlantic overturning circulation even under low- to medium-emission paths, and signs that major Antarctic ice masses may already be sliding into the sea.

“With seven out of nine boundaries transgressed, we have pushed Earth outside of its Safe Operating Space – meaning that we are turning Earth from a safe home into one full of hazards that threaten people across the world,” the authors write.

Red means severe, irreversible damage to key planetary functions is likely. Climate change is in that category, as is the flood of “novel entities”—plastics, synthetic chemicals, pesticides and other pollutants. Biochemical flows, the disruption of nature’s nutrient cycles, are also red. So is the biosphere: a large loss of species, ecosystems and the functions that sustain life.

Yellow covers freshwater systems, land use and ocean acidification. Only ozone-layer thinning and atmospheric aerosol loading remain green.

The Amazon is near a critical threshold. If it tips, “up to 70 per cent of the Amazon forest could transition from lush rainforest to dry tropical savanna,” writes lead author Professor Carlos Nobre of the University of São Paulo.

That would release hundreds of billions of tons of carbon dioxide, wipe out countless species and shake climate, food, water and health worldwide. “Besides an ecological catastrophe, losing the Amazon would be a moral injury: a sign that we had allowed one of Earth’s great living worlds to disappear under our care.”...<<<Read More>>>...

New Report Reveals Data Center Backup Generators Pollute Like Power Plants, Endanger Health

Federal regulatory changes that eased enforcement of on-site backup generator emissions are contributing to increased health risks from data centers, according to a report released by the Environmental Protection Network (EPN), a nonprofit whose members are former public officials who maintain an interest in environmental policy.

Air pollution from data centers could increase healthcare costs by almost $21 billion by 2028, contributing to roughly 600,000 asthma cases and 1,300 premature deaths, the report states. The findings were first reported by Utility Dive.

"These engines and turbines can emit nitrogen oxides, smog-forming volatile organic compounds and soot pollution," the report states. "The combined generating capacity of a large generator or turbine fleet can rival that of a conventional power plant" [2]. The report is titled "Hidden Health Costs of AI Data Centers."...<<<Read More>>>...

Everybody is Losing

 Faced with a fiscally incontinent state drowning in DEI and incapable of controlling its borders, it's easy for the Right to feel like its losing, says Dr Hugh Willbourn. But weirdly, so does the Left.

 The UK appears to be winning the race to disaster, albeit vigorously pursued by Germany, approximately half the USA, Spain and France.

If you are short of misery here are some links to the UK’s 360 degree catastrophe: the economy and where it is heading, the NHS, Climate paranoia, its dubious funding and its cost, energy denialism, education and unemployment. Young people have been betrayed in every way possible with massive debt for hollow, useless degrees; by the minimum wage destroying entry level jobs; and by a future lacking affordable housing whether to rent or buy.

It has become impossible to hide the consequences of mass immigration, grotesque welfarism and governmental incompetence. Even the mainstream media acknowledge, too late as ever, that there is a problem.

The state is now a parasite on the nation.

But the state is a system staffed by people. How do those people continue to behave in such a destructive way?

As Burnham and his civil service shepherds have lived entirely in this delusional world of abstractions, policies and protocols they have no idea how little they know. They have no meaningful commercial experience. None of them has ever started or run a business, come up with a functional, costed solution to a real problem or taken responsibility for their own mistakes.

They continue their destructive behaviour because they don’t know what else to do.

But there’s more....<<<Read More>>>...

Passing observations: Mayor Burnham’s appalling government

 In his usual witty style, Dr. Vernon Coleman gives us some of the latest news to come out of the UK.

He has a fair amount to say about Prime Minister Mayor Andy Burnham.

So, without further ado, here’s Dr. Coleman’s ‘Passing Observations 299’.

1. Is it conceivably possible that the bizarre bit of trouble at RAF Fairford was a false flag, designed to build up hatred of Iran (which, for the record, has never attacked or threatened Britain) so that Mayor Burnham’s appalling Government can excuse providing additional help to the US military when it wants to drop more bombs on Iran? Doubters will have noted that, to widespread astonishment, all the alleged terrorists were quickly released on bail.

2. A white Englishman was sentenced to two years in prison for throwing a small plastic bottle and allegedly saying naughty words when addressing police officers. Meanwhile, Mayor Burnham gives taxpayers’ money to Ukraine, which bombs oil refineries (pushing up the price of oil) and operates press gangs to recruit fodder for the battlefield.

3. Burying rubbish is much better for the environment than most recycling. The recycling of metal makes sense. But most of the accepted truths churned out by mad greens are nonsense. You’d have to use a cotton bag 173 times for it to be more energy efficient than a plastic bag. And a steel straw is less “friendly” than a plastic straw. Polystyrene cups are better for the world than ceramic cups. Paper and plastics cannot be usefully recycled. Idiot politicians and campaigners want us to recycle more. But if we care about our planet, we should recycle far less. We should bury or burn our rubbish. And councils should fire all their recycling staff and cancel recycling collections.

4. Mayor Burnham plans to introduce a new UK anti-disinformation unit. You can guess what his new `Ministry of Truth’ will suppress. (If Mayor Burnham really wanted to stop the dissemination of untruths, he would close down the BBC and all mainstream corporate media and ban Google, Facebook et al.)

5. A 22-year-old man has been found who does not claim to be autistic or suffering from ADHD. He is embarrassed and has asked to remain anonymous.

6. Male and female citizens in Ukraine are being press-ganged into the military wherein they will doubtless be dead within hours. It seems likely that citizens in the EU and Britain will soon be press-ganged into taking part in an entirely unnecessary war which could have been stopped years ago, which no one wants and which exists solely as part of the Great Reset’s depopulation plan. Those who imagine that they will be excused from military service because of their ADHD, autism or flat feet can think again. Press gangs don’t stop to accept sick notes. The way things are going, every young man and woman will be forced into military service. And then their mums, dads and grandparents will be forced to join too. Did anyone vote for this?

7. More than 65 valuable works of art have been stolen from the Houses of Parliament in the last two years. It is, of course, unthinkable that there are any dishonest MPs or Lords nicking stuff. So who is it? Where is Sherlock Holmes when you need him?

8. Despite much whinging from Z generation snowflakes, evidence proves that life is infinitely harder for the old than it is for the young. And successive far-left-wing Labour Governments are doing everything they can to make life so miserable for the elderly that they will clamour for Labour’s euthanasia programme to be introduced....<<<Read More>>>...

‘Triple flood threat’ triggers urgent warnings for millions as massive storm engulfs 15 US states

 A week-long “triple flood threat” is unfolding across a wide stretch of the United States, putting more than 15 million people in the path of potentially life-threatening rain.

Flood watches were posted in ten states Tuesday morning as meteorologists warned that Hurricane Polo’s remnants are combining with leftover moisture from Hurricane Odalys and a dip in the jet stream to form one sprawling storm.

The heaviest rain is expected Tuesday in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, with the threat lasting through the week. Watches also cover Utah, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa.

Too often in workplaces and at social gatherings people nod along with the acceptable Left-wing narrative because they're too afraid to say what they really think. Joanna Gray has some tips for 'how to talk to normies'.

Party Conference Season is a salutary reminder that it is not MPs who are going to lead us out of the mire. With each hollow-chested speech, it becomes more apparent that more of us are going to have to put our back to the wheel and lean into uncomfortable conversations in order to change the fortunes of this once great nation. I was recently asked to speak to a group of women in Westminster about ‘How to Talk to Normies’. It coincided with a recent report from More in Common and University College London that unsurprisingly revealed 69% of people are afraid to speak their mind.

The Transcendent Tech Economy: Abundance and Mass Poverty Will Arrive Together

 I believe the future will deliver staggering AI-driven abundance and mass poverty at the same time, not universal wealth. This is not a prediction I make lightly; it is a conclusion I have reached after tracking AI compute economics, memory supply chains, and the brutal realities of automation. We are not heading toward a Star Trek utopia where everyone shares in the spoils. We are heading toward what I call a "slumdog Star Wars" future: advanced "Godboxes" (a term Zach Vorhies introduced to me during a recent interview) and instant intelligence coexisting with slums, shantytowns and destitution.

The dividing line will not be access to information, because information is becoming free. The dividing line will be ownership of AI compute and tokens. If you own the hardware that generates intelligence, you capture the wealth. If you merely rent access from someone else's cloud, you remain a subject. I have said repeatedly that personal liberty is good and decentralization is critical, and nothing proves that faster than the coming AI economy. I believe the assumption that AI automatically makes everyone richer is dangerously wrong, and it is the single most costly mistake interested observers can make right now....<<<Read More>>>...

The Sumerian Flood Happened — The Geological Evidence Was Found In 1929

 

 

In 1929, an archaeologist digging beneath the Royal Cemetery of Ur hit a layer of clean, water-laid silt several feet thick — with nothing in it, and a completely different world underneath. 

 He sent his wife a note that was only four words long. 

The Sumerians had always insisted a great flood split their history in two: the kings before it, and the kings after.

For a moment, the ground itself seemed to agree with them — and then the entire conversation was quietly shelved. 

This is what was found, why the excitement died, and the question nobody has gone back to answer: what was on the other side of that silt?

Labour Minister Claims That Visions of Britain Based on Warm Ale, Pubs and Black Labradors Are a “Far-Right” Fantasy that “Never Really Existed”

 Another crazy member of the Loony Party, sorry the Labour Party. Her claims are pure insanity .... proving just how insane this government really is. However, it begs the question, does she really believe her delusion? Or is it a script she has been given to use? 

++++++++++++++++++

Labour Minister Jenny Riddell-Carpenter has said that visions of Britain based on warm ale, pubs and black labradors are a “far-Right” fantasy that “never really existed”. The Mail has the story.

Jenny Riddell-Carpenter, who was appointed nature minister in July, told a fringe meeting at the party’s conference that she fears the far-Right will launch a battle at the next election using this supposed fantasy.

She said she is kept “awake at night” thinking about how the far-Right will weaponise the countryside at the next election.

Riddell-Carpenter told party members: “This is one of the things I do stay awake at night about, and think about, and fear.

“One of them is that if we don’t make the case for nature, for rural communities, and what we believe rural communities look like, I do believe that the next election is going to be fought on a battle line of nature and rural affairs.

“And there’ll be the far-Right deciding and determining what that looks like.

“It’ll be a vision, a nostalgic vision of Britain, that never really existed.

“It’ll be that warm ale, a black Labrador by your feet in a pub that doesn’t exist, and with symbolism of fox hunting all around them, it’ll be a very far-Right nostalgic vision of Britain that we don’t want to have, [and] never really existed.”

Despite Riddell-Carpenter’s claim that the Labrador and warm ale vision of Britain has never existed, official figures suggest otherwise. …<<<Read More>>>....

Oracle’s Force Majeure Reveals the AI Bubble’s First Real Crack

 The AI data center buildout is the largest speculative bubble in human history, and now we have the first visible crack in the facade. Oracle has invoked force majeure on Project Jupiter, its $18 billion Stargate data center campus in New Mexico, and the financial press is finally admitting what I've said all along: this thing is coming apart at the seams.

According to TechCrunch, "Oracle has sent a force majeure notice to the developer of Project Jupiter, a Stargate data center campus in New Mexico", a move that allows the company to delay payments if the facility misses its milestones. That's not a minor construction hiccup. That's a multi-billion-dollar hyperscaler telling its financing partners that the underlying project may never function as promised.

The project's loans are already trading at a discount. Reports indicate the $18 billion in debt behind this facility is trading at roughly 88 to 90 cents on the dollar, a clear signal that lenders are pricing in a meaningful chance of default. When debt trades below par in a supposedly booming sector, the bond market is telling you something the cheerleaders on CNBC refuse to say out loud. I've said for months that the AI buildout is being financed with Enron-style off-balance-sheet vehicles, and now we're watching that architecture start to buckle. This is not a blip. This is the beginning of the unwind.

We are now witnessing the moment the AI narrative collides with physical reality. You can print dollars. You can spin press releases. You cannot conjure electrons, pipelines, permits, or transformers out of thin air. Oracle just discovered that the hard way, and I believe the rest of the industry is about to follow....<<<Read More>>>...

Your Natural Sleep Remedy

 For anyone who’s struggled to get a full night of deep, restorative sleep, you know how exhausting it can be to spend your nights tossing and turning, only to greet the morning in a fog. And perhaps you’re beginning to notice that it’s affecting more than your energy. It can ruin your mood, contribute to weight gain, cloud your focus, and generally make life less enjoyable.

You’re far from alone. An estimated two-thirds of adults worldwide aren’t getting the recommended eight hours every night. And while there’s no shortage of sleep aids promising better rest, there’s something deeply important we often overlook: The quality of our sleep isn’t determined by one thing alone. It’s influenced by our lifestyle, diet, gut health, and more. That’s why the best remedy is often a holistic one.

Think of your body as a garden. When a flower struggles to bloom, we care for it with curiosity. Does the soil need nourishment? Is it getting enough sunlight? Does it need more water or perhaps a little room to breathe? Your body deserves that same loving attention. By tending to what may be out of alignment, you can begin cultivating the conditions for your body to naturally fall asleep and wake up refreshed....<<<Read More>>>...

The Book of Enoch Says Certain Humans Are Guarded by Something Older Than Angels — And Names It

From The Ridiculous To The Sublime - BBC Slammed Over Claim That Bare Fingernails Are “Racist and Classist”

 And this is from the gang of commie dictators who still demand everyone pays for TV licence to finance their bilge!!

++++++++++++++++++

The BBC has been slammed after publishing a piece arguing that the popular “bare-looking” manicure trend is rooted in racism, classism and “white supremacy”. GB News has more.

The article explored the growing demand for minimalist fake nails and has been seen as an attempt to politicise personal beauty choices.

Accusations that the broadcaster was pushing a “woke Left-wing agenda” through such content quickly gained traction online, with critics dismissing the piece as absurd and divisive.

The BBC’s article featured an interview with Paloma Buddemeier, owner of Wumman Spa in London, who described how clients were increasingly requesting natural-looking artificial nails inspired by a “quiet luxury” aesthetic trending on social media.

The piece went on to argue that nail art has historical ties to black, Latino and Asian communities, and that the elevated status now afforded to the pared-back style risks stigmatising bolder manicures.

Beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo said that the minimalist trend amounted to both classism and racism.

She told the BBC: “That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities.”

Rodulfo further argued that such styles “are often called elegant or tasteful, and these are often usually euphemisms that perpetuate white supremacist standards of beauty”....<<<Read More>>>...

Prepping For A Cashless Control Grid How Digital Currency Becomes Digital Control

 The quiet disappearance of cash is not a convenience story but a shift toward money that can be watched, frozen, and programmed—and most people, the author argues, will notice only after the exit is gone.

Writing on ZeroHedge, Milan Adams of Preppgroup says the change is not arriving with a midnight law. It is arriving transaction by transaction. “We are not approaching a cashless society.

We are sleepwalking into it,” he writes. Central bank digital currencies—the digital euro, a possible digital dollar, and China’s already running digital yuan—are not just faster payments, he contends. They would recast the relationship between citizen and state so that every purchase is logged and every economic choice depends on permission.

Adams says this is written policy, not rumor. The Bank for International Settlements, which coordinates central banks, has said CBDCs will enable “programmable money”—currency that can be limited by time, place or purpose.

The European Central Bank’s digital euro plan would cap offline payments at small amounts; larger transfers would need a live network and identity checks.

Cancellation Took a Heavy Toll on My Mental Health – That’s Why Burnham’s New Ministry of Truth Terrifies Me

According to a new survey of Free Speech Union members, being cancelled takes a heavy toll on your mental health. It’s not just ‘holding people to account’. It can cause severe depression, even suicide. From the Mail:

According to a recent report by Big Brother Watch, a civil liberties group, between 34 and 40 people a day are being arrested for speech crimes, including making risque jokes. Only about 20% are found guilty, but those who aren’t risk having a ‘non-crime hate incident’ recorded against their name. The police are logging about 65 of those a day.

But it’s about to get worse. In a speech at the United Nations on Tuesday, Andy Burnham unveiled a new surveillance unit – the National Centre for Information Defence – designed to “stem the poisonous tide” of disinformation. The Prime Minister identified Russia as the biggest threat, but the agency, dubbed Labour’s ‘Ministry of Truth’, will soon start spying on the domestic population.

By my count, this new centre takes the total number of shadowy Whitehall bodies monitoring our speech to 10. Anyone posting something intemperate on social media about, say, the small boats or drag queen story hour, could well find themselves up before a magistrate or put through a disciplinary process at work.

In 2020, I set up the Free Speech Union (FSU) to protect people who get into trouble for ‘wrongthink’ and we’ve now fought over 6,500 cases – the tip of the iceberg.

But what is not often talked about is the mental health toll that cancellation takes on its victims. To this end, I welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with two clinical psychologists – Carole Sherwood and Andrew MacLeod – on a survey about the psychological impact of being cancelled. Of the 255 victims in their study – all people the FSU has helped – 80% said their mental health had been adversely affected, with 27% reporting they’d had to take medication as a result.

Even more alarming, 20% put themselves in the most severe depression category.

This comes as no surprise. The wellspring of the idea for the FSU came from my own experience of being cancelled in 2018. …<<<Read More>>>....

Cutting Sweet Foods Doesn’t Curb Cravings or Improve Health, Trial Finds

A six-month randomized controlled trial found no significant differences in sweet taste preference or health markers among participants assigned to high-, low-, or average-sweetness diets, according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The trial was conducted by researchers at Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands and Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom. Researchers said the results raise questions about public health advice that encourages reducing sweet-tasting foods to combat obesity.  

"People have a natural love of sweet taste which has led many organizations, including the World Health Organization, to offer dietary advice on reducing the amount of sweetness in our diets altogether," said Katherine Appleton, professor of psychology at Bournemouth University and corresponding author for the study. "However, our results do not support this advice, which does not consider whether the sweet taste comes from sugar, low-calorie sweeteners, or natural sources." ...<<<Read More>>>...

The world is just enough: Ursula von der Leyen goes Bond villain

Leave it to a German to get EU-Europe properly encircled

As a historian who also happens to be German, that was my spontaneous reaction to Ursula von der Leyen's annual grand - and always grandiloquent - "state of the union" address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

It's not really a "union," of course, and not really a "parliament," either: technically, the EU is a confederation messed up by the ideological construct of "supranationalism"; and the parliament has no independent legislative power, but let's not dwell on the obvious.

At the head of her Commission (read: over-reaching Central Committee) of career bureaucrats, von der Leyen is the unelected de-facto leader and personification of the Frankenstein wanna-be-super-state that has long gobbled up idealistic dreams of European unity.

Once, those dreams may have been about democracy, sovereign equality, prosperity for all, and peace. But real-existing EU-Europe is very different: the European dream has come true as a nightmare, dominated by a smug and self-empowered globalist establishment, thoroughly insulated from popular participation, economically stagnant and crisis-prone, as well as unequal, and ever more militarist.

When von der Leyen boasted that, in effect during her tenure, EU-Europe had become "stronger" and "more independent," while "securing its prosperity" and increasing armament spending "by 80% in the last five years alone," only the last point bore any resemblance to reality, as the preponderant majority of the over 450 million EU citizens - really subjects - experience it.

But there is no misery a Eurocrat worth her (or his!) salt cannot make worse.

Now von der Leyen seems hellbent to take the worst of bad old German traditions to a whole new, all-EU level. As is well-known from the history of the last two world wars, Germany not once but twice first deftly maneuvered itself into being surrounded by (mostly) enemies and then lost, the first time crushingly, the second one even worse, in fact so badly it took a short half-century (and much Russian good will, as it happens) to put the country together again....<<<Read More>>>....

Bill Gates Warns AI Powerful Enough to Lead to ‘a Billion Deaths’

 Demon Bill is at it again. Supposedly. Scaremongering prior to a planned event. Demon Bill, the front person and public face of the satanic parasites ... likes to scare the useless eaters .... if it is indeed Bill Gates. More than likely not. When the current 'Bill Gates' is compared to photographs of the real Bill Gates ... there is no similarity. Foil hats have warned for years that the real Bill Gates is deceased and what we see is not Bill Gates. Demon Bill is a plant, clone or bad actor ...

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence is already powerful enough to trigger events that could kill a billion people—joining a growing line of tech leaders sounding the alarm on existential risk.

“AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths,” Gates said in an excerpt of an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press, scheduled to air this weekend. “There’s never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools.”

The remarks land as Silicon Valley’s own ranks have grown louder. Jacob Coxon, a staffer at Anthropic, quit earlier this month and accused both Anthropic and OpenAI of “gambling with our lives” by “racing toward super-intelligent AI.” Another Anthropic employee said he sees a greater-than-10 percent chance that AI wipes out humanity within a decade.

Those warnings have pulled a long, bitter debate into the open and produced public demands for stronger safeguards. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for a slowdown in development, a stance quickly backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk.


Gates said industry self-policing will not suffice. “You need law enforcement and the politicians to get into the discussion about what safeguards and monitoring look like,” he said. “And that has to be a required thing." ...<<<Read More>>>...

Your kidneys need these drinks: What science says about hydration and organ health

Water remains the gold standard for kidney health, with experts recommending enough fluids to produce pale yellow urine.

Unsweetened cranberry juice may help prevent kidney stones and urinary tract infections due to its antioxidant content.

Citrus juices like orange and lemon provide citrate that can neutralize stone-forming acids.

Coffee and green tea are linked to lower risk of chronic kidney disease when consumed without added sugar.

Sugar-sweetened beverages, dark colas and energy drinks can increase kidney disease risk and should be limited.

Every day, the kidneys filter roughly 50 gallons of blood, removing waste, balancing minerals and maintaining blood pressure. Yet millions of Americans unknowingly consume beverages that undermine this vital organ. With kidney disease affecting an estimated 37 million U.S. adults—and many more at risk due to diabetes and hypertension—understanding which drinks support rather than stress the kidneys has never been more critical.

Writing a memoir to read privately, share with family or friends, or publish is an emotionally satisfying way to gain perspective on your experiences while sharing your unique voice. We’ve all experienced feelings and events in our lives that we are longing to write down. Giving in to that urge can give you an outlet for purging any frustration, anxiety, or long-dormant feelings. No one else has to read it. You may even want to write your story without reading it right away. If you want to share it, reading your story to others can help meet your need to be heard.

Satisfying the desire to tell your story isn’t predicated on your writing ability. It does, however, take effort to write down the truth in detail. Your memories, captured on paper as descriptive scenes, sights, sounds, and scents, may at first seem disconnected or incomplete. But rest assured that you have the ability to shape your recollections into stories. This process can also help you understand your life experiences. And when you finish writing, you may be surprised by what you’ve accomplished. Your story can encompass as much or as little of your life as you like. You may be surprised by new insights or find yourself exploring your roots, your identity, and your future through your words. Allow your writing to guide you, and write as truthfully as possible. Don’t worry about what others will think of your personal journey, your style of writing, or your words.

Research has shown that writing a personal narrative filled with feelings and perceptions can create long-term health benefits. As you write, remember to have compassion for yourself, particularly when writing about traumatic events. If you are a young person, you can add to your life story as you grow older. Your writing may help family members know you better, or they may understand themselves more through reading about your experiences. More importantly, you’re expressing yourself in a permanent way, giving a gift to yourself, and letting your voice be heard. (Daily OM)

Who Was Here Before Us? 5 Ancient Roads That Don't Make Sense

 

 

From above, it looks like a railway yard. Dozens of tracks, crossing and curving through solid rock. But there are no rails here. No trains. No station. This is Malta, and these tracks come from a world thousands of years before trains. Some climb ridges. Some plunge off cliffs. Some run into the sea. 

 And nobody knows why. 

Across four continents, there are roads that go where no road should. A path one plank wide, chiseled into a Chinese mountainside by a monk who planned to become immortal. A highway of buried water jars, 250 miles long, aimed at a kingdom no map has ever shown. A paved track that let warships sail across dry land. And a road wider than a modern highway, found by NASA beneath nine centuries of sand that ends at the edge of a canyon. 

These are the five most mysterious ancient roads. Every one of them still leads somewhere. 

No one agrees where…

“Implausible” Met Office UK Climate Projections Still Whipping up Unjustified Net Zero-Convenient Fear

 Five months after the IPCC ruled that the infamous RCP8.5 computer scenario responsible for most mainstream climate doomsday copy over the last 15 years was “implausible”, what news can I bring you of the Met Office’s UK Climate Projection 2018 report (UKCP18) that based its predictions on the now cancelled modelling nonsense? Good news: the Met Office immediately withdrew UKCP18 with a fulsome apology for all the harm caused. Everything from the compromised geography A level syllabus to numerous Net Zero rules and regulations that relied on its claims have been withdrawn pending future alteration. Sorry, I must have dropped off for a moment and started dreaming. Of course, the report has not been withdrawn; of course, no apology has been forthcoming, and of course, UKCP18 is still up to all its old tricks.

On June 23rd, the Met Office produced a weather forecast for 2055 showing how the summer temperature in England under a “plausible” computer model scenario could hit 45°C along with nine consecutive days where 40°C was recorded somewhere in the country. Not bad going in 30 years, given that the UK temperature ’record’ of 40.3°C produced on July 19th 2022 by the runway at RAF Coningsby was somewhat challenged in its veracity by the fact that Typhoon jets were attempting to land at the time. The claimed record was a 60-second 0.6°C spike and over a five-minute average – recommended by the World Meteorological Organisation to reduce ‘noise’ – the temperature fell below the magic, headline-grabbing 40°C....<<<Read More>>>>...

Busloads of migrants harass and intimidate native Britons in Essex; Private security guards are hired to protect women and girls

 Reform-run Essex County Council has had to deploy private security guards in Braintree, Colchester and Chelmsford to address reports of male migrants intimidating residents and harassing schoolgirls.

Every Thursday, the UK government offloads a shipment of illegal migrants into the town centre, making the area a no-go zone for women and girls.

The women and parents’ concerns are not unfounded. It seems many are waking up to the threat that these foreign men from foreign cultures pose to British natives. Yet the Government continues to import these men into the UK, regardless of the associated security threat to citizens, taxpayers and residents....<<<Read More>>>...

When We’re Feeling Anxious

 

So many of us are feeling dysregulated right now — especially as we experience the financial pinch, navigate emotional struggles, and witness unprecedented collective events unfolding around us. It’s only natural that anxiety would find its way in. But what might happen if, alongside everything that feels difficult, we intentionally turned our attention toward the small things that help bring us back to center?

Take a moment to reflect. Have there been pockets of goodness in your life? Maybe you’ve gotten some much-needed time away from work. Perhaps you’ve tried a new recipe, enjoyed a meal around the table with people you love, or eaten at your favorite restaurant. Maybe you’ve begun taking care of yourself in new ways and adopted some helpful wellness practices.

Life can be hard and beautiful at the same time, and part of caring for ourselves is learning to notice both. We may not always have control over what is happening around us. But we can choose how we meet this moment. And sometimes, tending to our mental health begins with something very small: seeing what nourishes us, appreciating what is here, and taking one small step toward greater groundedness, harmony, and well-being....<<<Daily OM>>>...

Who are the Archons - The Rulers of the Cosmos in Gnosticism & their Origins in Cosmology and Magic

 

 

 

Gnosticism is infamous for its conception of the cosmos as the creation of the satanic Demiurge. But along with this entity is a retinue of demonic cosmic powers or Archons that act as co-creators and wardens of this prison universe. Join me as I explore the origins, nature and function of the Archons. From their terrible origins as primeval excretions of the Demiurge, to their dreadful creation of the human physical and psychical body - even a renegade Archon that defied the Demiurge and is even said to have created Jesus Christ. The Archons are an often overshadowed aspect of Gnosticism. Let's trace their origins in the demonization of Yahweh, the Cosmic Daimons and Greco-Egyptian Magic.

Why the Renewable Energy Transition is Doomed to Fail

 Politicians make many grand claims for renewable energy. But simple arithmetic shows the 'energy transition' is doomed to fail, says Richard Lyon, whose new book, The Energy Trap, is out today.

Every reader of this site knows the moment. You’re three sentences into a reasonable question about energy policy, the cost of it, the pace of it, whether anyone has actually done the sums, and someone says the word. Denier. The conversation is over. You have been moved from the category of people with an argument into the category of people with a condition.

The word works because the fight until now has been staged on climate science, and that’s ground the other side owns: the journals, the institutions, the broadcasters, the referee and his whistle. It doesn’t matter what you know about physics or engineering or just common sense. Question the models and you have diagnosed yourself.....<<<Read More>>>...

The Era of Token Abundance Is Coming

 I have spent years steeped in the artificial intelligence industry, and I have come to a conclusion that will sound strange to most people: I want the AI data-center speculative investment bubble to burst. I am rooting for it. Not because I hate AI -- I love AI and use it every single day to build books, illustrate courses, and run research swarms. I want it to burst because the collapse of this speculative frenzy is the fastest path to token abundance for ordinary people.

Token abundance means cheap, local, high-intelligence AI running on hardware you actually own, sitting in your home or office, answering to you and no one else. That is the future I am working toward, and as I have said before, machine intelligence has become an undeniable force in our world. The question is not whether AI arrives, but whether it arrives as a centralized, subscription-based tool of Big Tech, or as a decentralized, locally owned utility that gives power to the people.

The AI investment bubble is what stands between us and that future. It is temporarily making the hardware we need -- GPUs, RAM, storage -- absurdly expensive. It is strangling the consumer market in order to feed the data centers that the big players insist are the only way forward. So yes, I believe the fastest path to consumer access is for this bubble to collapse under its own greed...<<<Read More>>>...
