Whether Through Biden, Harris, or Trump — Digital IDs Are Coming to America

 The Biden Administration is considering an Executive Order for digital IDs, picking up where Donald Trump’s left off during his time in the White House.

A recently leaked draft of an Executive Order shows the Biden Administration is considering expanding the required use of digital ID’s to fight fraud — a move that is being criticized by privacy advocates and civil liberties organizations. While Biden’s plans pertain to infrastructure for digital driver’s licenses, similar moves were made by former President Donald Trump under the guise of fighting illegal immigration.

Biden’s Executive Order was first reported on by NOTUS after the organization obtained a draft version. The draft viewed by NOTUS calls for federal and state governments to accelerate the adoption of so-called mobile driver’s licenses. “It is the policy of the executive branch to strongly encourage the use of digital identity documents,” the draft states.

Mobile driver’s licenses (mDL), or simply digital driver’s licenses are another form of digital identity rolling out across North America in 3 common forms. This includes proprietary apps owned by a local, state, or national government; various state-approved apps like SmartID; and the Apple Wallet, which 4 U.S. states are currently using to host their digital driver’s license....<<<Read More>>>...

According to a guide to digital driver’s licenses, users will open the chosen app, scan the front and back of their physical driver’s license, and then verify their identity with a selfie (or similar biometric data). Once verified, the user can began using their digital ID app as they would a physical ID card.


Mysterious White “Walking” Figure Captured on Top of the Clouds

 A mysterious video from China has captured what seems to be a ghostly figure walking atop a cloud. The unusual footage was reportedly filmed earlier this week by a stunned witness in the city of Handan, reports coasttocoastam.com.

In the video, the camera zooms in on a large cloud in the sky, revealing the unmistakable outline of a person gliding across the cloud’s surface.

Since being shared online, the video has gone viral on Chinese social media, prompting a wide range of theories about the eerie ‘sky being.’...<<<Read More>>>...

DEF LEPPARD - "Let It Go"

Tyranny and oppression are the aims of WEF’s “Stakeholder Capitalism”

 In 2020, G20 governments, in collusion with the World Economic Forum’s (“WEF’s”) Stakeholders, discretely and undemocratically enacted a global ten-year transition to an authoritarian political system, called Stakeholder Capitalism.

After propagating a Marxist idea that black and trans people are oppressed and indoctrinating us to fear climate change, the Stakeholders are mandating their pre-planned political system, which its criminal mastermind, Klaus Schwab, alleges is better for ‘people and planet’.

Will we push back before artificial intelligence (“AI”) takes our jobs and our wealth shifts to the Stakeholders, making us vulnerable to tyranny?

Former TV producer, and now technology entrepreneur and independent filmmaker Richard Jeffs investigated The Great Reset transition to Stakeholder Capitalism in a recent documentary titled ‘Stakeholder Communism’.

He delves into how the stakeholders are propagating the transition to Stakeholder Capitalism by manipulating us to believe shareholder capitalism is making many of us oppressed. After indoctrinating us to want another system, the stakeholders propagate that stakeholder capitalism is better for people and planet.

Jeffs shows how this strategy was successful in shifting China to communism. Showing an excerpt from a Fox News broadcast, guest Xi van Fleet said, “What’s going on in our schools and in our country is really a replay of the cultural evolution in China. The similarities are terrifying.”

Jeffs exposes the stakeholders’ plan to accelerate the speed at which AI takes our jobs leaving us dependent on them and vulnerable to tyranny. “Unless we act now, I learn how oppressed we become under stakeholder capitalism,” he said...<<<Read More>>>...

Start ’em young: Government climate alarmists brainwashing kids to comply with green tyranny

Climate alarmists in the federal government are now brainwashing children with an "inescapable death spiral" if they do not comply with green tyranny.

The Washington Free Beacon reported on this matter, citing the Climate Kids webpage operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). While the webpage includes educational materials and activities for children, it also parrots talking points from the climate alarmists. These include claims like "the world is undergoing cataclysmic warming," "sea levels are rising" and "global ice coverage is diminishing."

Just like the green tyrants claim, the Climate Kids page claims that fossil fuels are to blame for "pollution, the destruction of landscapes and natural habitats, oil spills in the ocean, and nasty fracking chemicals in the ground." It also proclaims that global warming is the "biggest problem of all" despite studies that prove that the world's temperatures are actually cooling...<<<Read More>>>....

What the Technocratic Elitists Plan for Your Future

 We are currently living through one of the most important periods in human history, as the ruling class biofascists move to transform the world into something out of a science fiction novel.

The following piece looks at some of the most pressing world-altering agendas currently on the horizon for the future of society – and what we can do to fight back.

The world is changing and changing quickly. Most of society remains blissfully unaware – through targeted propaganda campaigns – of the reality that awaits them (if allowed) across this decade.

Perhaps the most pressing transition that countries will see in the foreseeable future is major shakeups to our financial institutions and economies.

The collapses in March 2023 of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in the US led some to wonder if the world may be headed for a new widespread banking crisis.

Switzerland’s Credit Suisse also collapsed in March and was purchased shortly by UBS in a deal approved by Swiss regulators without shareholder approval...<<Read More>>>...

Create Completeness

 The creative power of the universe is infinite. A single molecule's destiny is as important as the consequences of the largest supernova. Human potential is subject to this power, but because we are sentient beings, each of us is permitted to choose whether we will struggle against it or work in tandem with it. When we give voice to our desires through focused meditation or solicit the help of spirit guides, we draw upon the universe's creative power to achieve certain ends. However, because our words are not all the universe hears, the response we receive may surprise us. The discourse we establish through our appeals is a blend of speech, thought, intention, and subconscious reflection. When we ask the universe for something, the unspoken message is that what we want does not exist, and the universe accepts this as truth. Conversely, when we manifest completeness through affirmations, we declare our desires as if we have already obtained them.

When we affirm that we are fulfilled instead of articulating deficiencies, we are asserting that contentment is a natural and necessary element of human existence. Our essence is an expression of fulfillment — the universe wants to satisfy our needs and desires. When we describe our realities in positive terms, we are not denying the challenges inherent in existence. We choose not to focus on lack or dissatisfaction because we understand that the energy of our thoughts will determine the response we receive to our entreaties. Ask yourself how you would feel if your wishes were granted, and then allow yourself to internalize that emotional state. Try to create a picture of satisfaction so vivid that its reality is unquestionable, and tell the universe that your vision is fact. At the close of your appeal, express your gratitude, as it is your acknowledgment of the truth of your fulfillment that will set the creative power of the universe into motion.

Working in perfect unison with the creative power of the universe will empower you to manifest spiritual realities in your material existence. As you affirm the beauty, peace, and goodness that already exist within your life, your capacity to sense and understand their influence will become increasingly sophisticated. To meet your needs and achieve your desires, you need to banish all thoughts of emptiness so that the energy of completeness can attract fullness into your being....<<<Read More>>>...

Totalitarian Starmer leaves a hole where British values used to be

 THE conservative writer David Horowitz said that ‘inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out’. There is now such a progressive running our country. Having received the keys to power, the totalitarian in Sir Keir Starmer has come out.

We find ourselves, in essence, in a low-key civil war. Started by a red-green alliance of the socialist/Marxist left and fundamental Islamists and enthusiastically taken up by Starmer, it is being waged against both the traditionalists of Judeo-Christian based British culture and values and the white working-class ‘left behinds’. Traditionalists and patriots may still be in the majority, but the new left alliance and its woke fellow travellers hold the offices of power and the means to enforce whatever are its chosen policies through a politicised police force and compliant judiciary.

I live in a traditional working-class community in the predominantly working-class North East of England; historically a Labour Party stronghold – the saying goes that up here people would vote for a donkey if you pinned a red rosette on it. That all changed in 2016 with the Brexit referendum, and subsequently in the 2019 general election when the North East overwhelmingly voted for Boris Johnson, principally because of his promise to implement Brexit and stop mass immigration. The people were rebelling – and the pro-EU Establishment were not happy.

The Conservatives reneged on their promises and, betrayed by consecutive Tory governments and recognising that Labour is no longer the party of the working classes, many stayed at home in the July general election. Labour won with the support of the socialist woke and the Muslim vote. But more than four million gave their vote to Reform UK – the people were rebelling again – and the Establishment are even less happy.

Starmer is so annoyed by us commoners that he has indiscriminately smeared us as racists and thugs, fascists and Nazis, meting out his fast-tracked discipline through the courts. He is punishing those who have raised their heads above the parapet, and is trying to frighten the rest of us to duck back down into silence and obedience.

Among the blue- and white-collar working-class people of my area, resentment and discontent is rife. The most common comment is ‘this isn’t our country any more’: they feel disenfranchised from the political debate and excluded from shaping the future of their own country. Gradually, realisation has taken hold that the things they believed in, trusted and respected, have been peeled away from the society they thought they knew and were comfortable in, not least their own communities, broken by years of so called ‘liberal’ values. Now they have a hole where they thought would always be a comforting continuation of traditional British culture and heritage, pride in our history, the safety of Christian moral boundaries, and the victory of truth over lies. They have neither the time, money, nor inclination to indulge in the luxury beliefs of the pampered left, and are angry with those who have imposed those luxury beliefs on them against their will....<<<Read More>>>....

New study explores how food choices shape mental health

The study is the first to examine the relationship between diet quality and brain neurochemistry in humans. Thirty adults were divided into two groups based on whether they followed a high- or low-quality diet. Participants in both groups were similar in age, gender, education, income, and caloric and macronutrient intake.

The quality of the diet was defined by adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Participants reported how frequently they ate 130 different food items, their consumption frequency, and food intake habits. Screening questionnaires were administered to assess current depression, anxiety, and rumination levels. Whole brain MRI scans measured prefrontal cortex metabolite concentrations and gray matter volume.

The study found that participants in the low-quality diet group had lower levels of GABA, higher levels of glutamate, and reduced gray matter volume in the brain — markers commonly seen in depression and anxiety. Those in the high-quality diet group had balanced levels of GABA and glutamate and a larger volume of gray matter in the brain....<<<Read More>>>...

They want to destroy the middle classes and the elderly

Destroying the economy, the middle classes and the elderly is all part of Net Zero.

Governments everywhere (which manage to be both fascist and communist) want to destroy their economies in order to push up inflation and interest rates.

And they’re going to succeed everywhere.

As I have been warning for several years, inflation is going up and up. The current temporary pause won’t last.

And interest rates may have come down a tad – but they’re going back up everywhere.

This is all deliberate, and it is part of a plan to force everyone to live in tiny, ticky tacky cardboard flats inside 20 minute cities.

It’s part of a deliberate plan to impoverish you.

And it’s part of a plan to kill off the elderly – who are regarded as a burden rather than asset.

Don’t believe me? Think I’m exaggerating?

Please read Jack King’s book `Net Zero will destroy you and everything you care about’. You can find a copy on Amazon, click HERE.

Kamala Harris says climate slavery means “freedom” and “patriotism”

 The theme of Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) centered around the ideas of "freedom" and "patriotism," which to her includes plunging the country into climate slavery.

In addition to "reproductive choice" (abortion) and clean drinking water, Kamala believes that Americans value politicians like herself who are willing to address the "climate crisis" in whatever ways the scientific establishment decides are necessary to save the planet for future generations, even if it means taking away people's freedoms.

For the longest time, the Republican Party has been the party of freedom and patriotism, at least on paper. Republicans have done a really good job enshrining these concepts into their platform, which Kamala and her people are now attempting to claim as their own...<<<Read More>>>...

Crop Circles 2024 - #6 - Phase 2

 Lion's Gate, Etchilhampton Hill, Nr Devizes, Wiltshire. Reported 29th August 2024

Solitude and Loneliness

 Some people are reluctant to spend time alone. Solitude makes them anxious and restless, and so they try to ensure that they’re always in the company of others. But other people have a completely different attitude toward solitude. Even if they enjoy the time they spend with others, they savor their moments of solitude. They find solitude therapeutic and essential to their well-being, a time to rest and reconnect themselves.

Solitude doesn’t necessarily mean loneliness. Loneliness is when we feel our separateness as human beings. We feel trapped inside our mental space, in separation from other human beings, and from a world that appears to be “out there.” (I refer to this as “ego-isolation.”) As the psychiatrist Frieda Fromm-Reichmann wrote in her seminal 1958 paper “Loneliness,” there is a threat to “self-orientation” too, since we derive our sense of self from “overt relationships with others.”1 We need contact with others to maintain our sense of identity. In loneliness, our sense of identity weakens...<<<Read More>>>...

L.A. Guns - The Ballad Of Jayne

Religion goes digital: They want to play God, become gods, and build God(s)

 Some see God in the Machine. I can't help but see a Devil leering back at me. You might say that's a personal quirk, but it's every writer's duty to transfer neuroses to a captive audience. So stay with me here.

For the past three years, my tech coverage has been an elaboration on David Noble's incisive 1997 book The Religion of Technology. Anything I've contributed was a mere update to his core insight — that technology is religious — which Noble himself owed to centuries of previous thinkers. With careful attention to detail, though, he documented the historical evidence, weaving together an incredible story. My job is to add gloomy adjectives and smartass remarks.

This innate spiritual principle is so apparent, you'd think there's no reason to mention it at all, but it bears repeating. Technology emerged from religious culture, and so naturally, our ideas about technology are essentially religious. In the end, technology itself has become a source of religious authority and an object of religious devotion.

For a recent example, see the AI-generated image of Jesus superimposed on the Shroud of Turin. For many centuries, Catholics revered this sacred object according to their faith. Today, they look upon it through an inverted tech-gnostic lens.

Even atheists can't help but see the world with a religious aura. Left to their own devices, they desperately grasp for the divine. I believe it's due to an eternal longing within our souls. They'd probably say that's just how humans are wired.

Whatever. You say "toe-MAY-toe." I say "angels and demons."

At the risk of oversimplification, allow me to lay out four ways the human spirit responds to high technology: 1) the devout believer who clings to techno-optimism; 2) the atheist techno-optimist counterpart; 3) the pessimistic atheist who rejects technology; and lastly, 4) the devout believer who sees the Devil in the Machine....<<<Read More>>>...

No Going Back

 There are times when we feel that we are spinning our wheels in the mud in terms of our spiritual progress. This can be especially true following a period of major growth in which we feel as if we’ve gained a lot of ground. In fact, this is the way growth goes -- periods of intense forward movement give way to periods of what seems like stagnation. In those moments when we feel discouraged, it’s helpful to remember that we don’t ever really go backward. It may be that we are at a standstill because there is a new obstacle in our paths, or a new layer to get through, but the hard work we have done cannot be undone.

Every step on the path is meaningful, and even one that seems to take us backward is a forward step in the sense that it is what we must do to move to the next level. In addition, an intense growth spurt requires that we rest for a time in order to fully integrate the new energies that have been liberated by our hard work. When we feel we are not making progress, we can encourage ourselves to take a moment to rest. We can meditate more, feed ourselves well, and get extra sleep. Before we know it, we will be spurred on to work toward the next level of our development, and this rest will make sense then as something we needed in order to continue.

Once the sun rises, it doesn’t go backward but instead follows its path in one direction. It may appear to stand still for a moment in time, or to move more slowly at some point or another, but really it is steadily moving forward on its path. We are the same way, and once we have moved through something we can never really go back. We may be resting or revisiting issues that seem old, and it’s natural to feel stuck, but in truth we are always taking the next important step forward on our path. (Daily OM)

Freedom of speech is dying in the UK, Norwegian author warns

 Freedom of speech is dying. You can now be thrown in jail for posting something on social media that the government doesn’t like and the UK seems to be one of the worst countries in the West, a Norwegian author says.

Will I be arrested for this video the next time I go to the UK? he asks.

Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen, a Norwegian novelist and YouTuber, posted a short video on Sunday about UK authorities arresting people for social media posts. Bull-Hansen has been to England and Scotland many times. “I love England and Scotland,” he said. “And it saddens to me to see what’s been going on there, especially in England.”

“I honestly don’t know what it takes, I honestly don’t know what is allowed to say over there anymore. It’s a mess and we’re going to talk a little bit about it and the problems in the UK here in this video,” he said.

“I believe in free speech,” he said. “I believe that without free speech there can be no freedom, there can be no democracy. And free speech is, you know, it’s kind of the trademark of a good and civilised society. We must be allowed to disagree. We must be allowed to criticise the authorities. We must be allowed to criticise ideologies, religions and so on.”

“England, I would say, has been destroyed by immigration. I think that’s very obvious. And we need to be able to say that,” he added...<<<<Read More>>>....

“Unmistakable presence” of EVIL causes some doctor to stop performing ABORTIONS

Dr. Catherine Wheeler, a former abortionist turned pro-life advocate, has felt an "unmistakable presence of evil" around her while performing an abortion. She never performed another one after that.

"I was about to begin an abortion procedure on a teenager when the room darkened and time seemed to slow down. There was an unmistakable presence of evil, and I was the only one who seemed to notice it," Wheeler recounted. "What scared me most was my awareness of pure evil in the operating room, related to the abortion I was performing."

That moment proved crucial in her life as God revealed to her the horror and destruction of abortion. "I thought I was helping women. The life and value of the preborn were lost in the abortion conversation. I bought the feminists' lie that women needed to have access to an abortion in order to pursue their dreams and be fulfilled," she admitted.

Wheeler finally decided to publicly speak as a pro-life advocate in 2020.

"It started when society devalued marriage and promoted intimacy without consequences. You can't have a sexual revolution, unhindered sexuality, without contraception and abortion," Wheeler stated.

"Sexuality has become almost like a transaction and physical only. If you don't love the person, you're being intimate with, and that relationship is disposable, why would you love a child who was a result of that?" ...<<<Read More>>>...

SARS-CoV-2 virus uses a secret 'back door' to infect the brain

A mutation on the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19 could help it infect the brain by forcing it to use a cellular "back door."

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may preferentially use a "back door" into cells to infect the brain, a new mouse study suggests.

The finding could partly explain why many people have neurological symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, or loss of smell or taste during or after a bout with the virus. Scientists think these symptoms may arise when SARS-CoV-2 enters the central nervous system, but how and why the virus moves from the respiratory tract to the brain wasn't clear until now.

In an article published Aug. 23 in the journal Nature Microbiology, researchers discovered mutations in the virus's spike protein, which it uses to enter human cells by binding to a molecule called ACE2 on the cells' surface....<<<Read More>>>...

Bombshell: NASA Documents Confirm a Planned ‘Mass Extinction Event’ in 2025

Official NASA papers, now in the public domain, suggest a dark and dystopian future. These documents reveal that NASA has been secretly preparing for a cataclysmic event slated for 2025—a mass extinction event that threatens the very fabric of civilization.

 The implications of this revelation are staggering. It suggests that a powerful institution, trusted by millions, is actively involved in a plan that could lead to the depopulation of Earth. This article delves deep into the details, exposing the potential reality of this impending catastrophe.

For decades, NASA has been viewed as the beacon of space exploration, innovation, and scientific advancement. However, the recently uncovered documents paint a different picture—a picture of a NASA that is complicit in a plot so nefarious that it defies belief. The documents, which include a PowerPoint presentation by NASA’s Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell, outline a series of events set to unfold in 2025. These events are designed not just to disrupt but to annihilate civilization as we know it.If these documents are to be believed, the implications for humanity are dire. The planned mass extinction event in 2025 would result in the death of billions of people, the collapse of global civilization, and the emergence of a new world order. Those who survive would be living in a world vastly different from the one we know today—one where freedom, democracy, and human rights are but distant memories....<<<Read More>>>... 

Earth’s Mysterious Heatwave 400,000 Years Ago: What Happened?

Scientists have unraveled the mystery behind the hottest period on Earth, which occurred around 400,000 years ago and had long puzzled researchers.

A recent study has finally shed light on how, despite weak solar radiation and moderate levels of greenhouse gases, massive ice melt and significant sea level rise took place.

The hottest period on Earth in the past million years occurred approximately 400,000 years ago. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere had even less ice than it does today, and sea levels were about 10 meters higher than current levels.

Surprisingly, solar radiation, a key factor in heat waves, was relatively weak, and greenhouse gas concentrations were lower than they are today. This seemingly inexplicable period in Earth’s history has been termed the “MIS 11c paradox.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Labour Decides To Create Fear – But The British Public See Through Their Agenda

Keir Starmer, a man who has fallen into power, by default, has, in a few months, managed to destroy and divide a once great and proud United Kingdom. While the everyday, hardworking, high-tax-paying citizens of this great nation are still reeling in shock and fear that anything they might think, do or say, could end in a jail term, we ask how can a democracy fall so fast into what verges on dictatorship.

The current Labour party finds itself unable to resist exerting a powerplay, supercharged by its alliance with both the civil service and the unions, giving in to the demands of those with their own agendas, in order to hold this nation to ransom. Along with the unchallenged left-wing mainstream media, many people have been groomed into accepting the narrative held by the few. 

Labour however, can only be seen as opportunists, who took advantage of the lack of governance displayed by what has been viewed by the population of the UK, as the end of conservatism, therefore, with no true differing opinion between the two leading parties, people desperately looked for a political home they could believe in, which in turn, splintered the votes.

Nancy Pelosi literally says her “reptilian, cold-blooded” strategies will help Kamala Harris win election, flip House back to Democrats

 In an interview with PBS at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Nancy Pelosi revealed that she plans to secure a White House win for Kamala Harris and turn the House of Representatives back to Democrat control using her own "discreet, reptilian, cold-blooded" strategies.

The 84-year-old career politician made headlines for stating that she is still a major force to be reckoned with in holding the country hostage to her own far-left brand of leadership, which is fighting tooth and nail to hold onto power no matter the cost.

Echoing the sentiments of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) who spoke earlier this year about the importance of shifting control of the House back to the Democrats, Pelosi is willing to take even the most extreme actions to ensure that Donald Trump is not handed another White House term, almost as if her career and life depend on it.

"I'm looking for a trifecta," Pelosi said. "I'm looking to win the White House, Chuck to be the majority leader, Hakeem Jeffries to be the Speaker of the House. It must happen that way. And this, think of January 6th if I didn't have the gavel. Hakeem must have the gavel that day. Kamala will be the vice president, but we fully intend to win the White House." 

It was when Pelosi began to discuss her self-brand strategies for targeting specific races in the upcoming elections that she threw out the word "reptilian" to describe how she handles this particular angle of vying for control over the country.

Speaking with what one media outlet described as "calculated confidence," Pelosi dished her prediction that Democrats will see a significant win across the board this fall, all thanks to her efforts.

"I made a prediction today to Al Hunt," Pelosi said. "He said, 'maybe you can win five.' I said, 'I want 10.' He said, 'Is that your prediction?' I said, 'I want 10 at least' ... we're very discreet. Reptilian. Cold-blooded. These are the races we have to win."...<<<Read More>>>...

Scientists control minds using ‘switches’ in the brain in world first

Scientists have been able to conduct “mind control” remotely in an incredible world-first experiment.

Mind control might seem like something out of science fiction, with possibly the closest thing we can get to consciously controlling our own minds without technology being lucid dreaming.

Now, however, an experiment involving mice has shown how the change of a magnetic field was able to alter the behaviour of animals fitted with special “switches” inside their brains.

At the change of the magnetic field, mice were able to be told to feed, socialise with others and act with maternal instincts as researchers targeted areas of the brain associated with these actions.

Researchers from the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Yonsei University in South Korea have engineered mice that have nanoparticle-activated “switches” inside their brains.

The technology has been dubbed “Nano-MIND” and combines genetics, nanoparticles, and magnetic fields. It allows researchers to remotely activate circuits of the brain.

To achieve this, ion channels were integrated into the target areas of brain cells. These ion channels could be turned on and off remotely, pulling at the nanoparticles of the brain cells when the magnetic field was active.

Significant differences in food intake were noted when the mice were in and outside of the magnetic field, suggesting that the desire to feed could be manipulated remotely.

It is hoped the groundbreaking technology could provide future treatments for disorders that affect emotions, social behaviours and appetite.

Jinwoo Cheon, senior author and director of the IBS Center for Nanomedicine, explained: “This is the world’s first technology to freely control specific brain regions using magnetic fields.”

They continued: “We expect it to be widely used in research to understand brain functions, sophisticated artificial neural networks, two-way brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, and new treatments for neurological disorders.”...<<<Read More>>>....

U.K. nurses plan to deny healthcare to anyone opposing unlimited illegal immigration

 Another script from The Pantomime . "Time To Wake Up The Sleepers"...

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

A registered trade union for those in the profession of nursing in the U.K. has just issued new guidelines on situations where they can refuse to treat and withdraw care from patients and this includes clients who would oppose illegal migration because they deem them "racists."

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) indicated in the Aug. 6 updated guidelines that some situations may justify refusing treatment, withdrawing care or finding an alternative.

"In response to comments made by Health Secretary Wes Streeting, we've updated our guidance on when and how members can refuse to treat a patient in their care. We recognize that every patient interaction is unique and this will be the most difficult decision for RCN members," RCN said in a statement on its website.

According to RCN, the new set of rules is related to the ongoing racist attacks. It claimed that most of them have targeted nursing staff. The health secretary reportedly expressed commitment to dealing with the "racist abuse of all health workers" and decided that this is grounds for turning away patients.

"I am demanding the government ensures anybody targeting our members pays a very heavy price. Hearing that nurses going to work in Sunderland came under attack is unforgivable," Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN general secretary and chief executive said. "Migrant nursing staff are precious members of our communities, hardwired into the very DNA of our health and care services. Our international colleagues are welcome, valued and owed a debt of gratitude."

RCN said that "racism has no place in our society" and as an anti-racist organization, it will take a lead part in tackling this hatred.

The guidelines indicate that nurses can decline and stop treating patients in the following circumstances...<<<Read More>>>...

The Genetic Modification Of Our Food Compared To The Modification That Happens Naturally In Nature

There are many justifications for Genetically Engineered Foods. All of them have strong counter-arguments that many people are simply not aware of. This article does not dive deep into those, but simply focuses on one small aspects that concerns many experts in the field.

In March 2014, scientists from Indiana University announced that they had conducted research to examine the operations of the fruit fly genome “in greater detail than ever before possible” and had identified “thousands of new genes, transcripts and proteins.”

Their results indicated that the fly’s genome is “far more complex than previously suspected and suggests that the same will be true of the genomes of other higher organisms.”

Of the approximately 1,500 new genes that were discovered, 536 of them were found within areas that were previously assumed to be gene-free zones. Furthermore, when the flies were subjected to stresses, small changes in expression level at thousands of genes occurred, and four newly modelled genes were expressed altogether differently.

Why is this important? Because it reveals how little we know about this planet and the organisms dwelling on it, yet also how much we think we know. This kind of hubris is found within all areas of human knowledge, but particularly when it comes to science.

When it comes to our genes, and the genes of other organisms, we really know next to nothing. Unfortunately, proponents of the biotech industry claim otherwise, and have developed multiple, flawed assumptions that undergird agricultural bioengineering....<<<Read More>>>...

WHO is influenced by big pharmaceutical companies, he told the Chamber, it lacks transparency in its dealings and there is conflict of interest with vaccine sales. WHO is a corrupt organisation and its director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has unchecked power.

In the recent past, both WHO and the Therapeutic Goods Administration have failed in their regulatory duties, serving political agendas rather than the public interest. The time of blind trust in the WHO’s narrative is over; it’s now the age of “prove it,” he said.

In a speech in the Australian Senate on 20 August Senator Malcolm Roberts addressed the recently declared public health emergency of international concern (“PHEIC”) for mpox. The following is a synopsis followed by a recording of his speech.

The World Health Organisation (“WHO”) has declared monkeypox a global public health emergency, triggering emergency powers to drive vaccine sales that benefit big pharmaceutical companies with ties to the organisation. This decision serves corporate interests rather than public health.

Regulatory agencies that are meant to protect the public fall under undue influence from the industries they regulate. The WHO is a corrupt organisation that is designed to funnel taxpayer money to its billionaire donors. Australian taxpayers gave $30 million to the WHO last year, likely as a show of loyalty.

Transparency is lacking. Major donors include GAVI, a vaccine alliance funded by corporations tied to predatory giants like BlackRock and Vanguard, who also own large shares in pharmaceutical companies.

The WHO’s monkeypox emergency, declared solely by its director-general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, highlights the unchecked power of the position. This decision created a market for four already-approved vaccines linked to companies backed by BlackRock and Vanguard, ensuring massive profits for their shareholders. A new monkeypox vaccine is expected soon, likely fast-tracked by compromised regulators like Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”).

The WHO previously tried to raise alarm over monkeypox but found little public concern, so they rebranded it as “mpox” to push vaccine sales. This benefits the predatory billionaires who control vaccine companies, funnel money to GAVI and the WHO, and fund political parties, including Australia’s Liberal and Labor parties....<<<Read More>>>....

Obligations

 We all encounter obligations in life, from spending time with family and friends to being present at important functions in the lives of the people who form our community. Many times, the obligations are actually fun and fulfilling, and we want to be there. At the same time, we all sometimes experience resistance to meeting these obligations, especially when they pile up all at once and we begin to feel exhausted, longing for a quiet evening at home. At times like these, we may want to say no but feel too guilty at the idea of not being there. Still, our primary obligation is to take care of ourselves, and if saying no to someone else is what we have to do, then we do not need to feel bad about it.

There is a skill to balancing our obligations, and it starts with simply becoming aware of our schedule. We may notice that three invitations have arisen in one weekend, and we know that we will pay energetically if we attempt to fulfill all three. At this point, we can take the time to weigh the repercussions of not going to each event, considering how we will feel if we miss it and how our absence might affect other people. Most of the time, it will be clear which obligation we can most easily let go and which one we simply can’t miss. Sometimes we have to miss something really important to us, and that can be painful for everyone concerned. At times like this, reaching out with a phone call, a thoughtful card, or a gift lets people know that you are there in spirit and that your absence is by no means a result of you not caring.

Meeting our obligations to others is an important part of being human and not one to take lightly. At the same time, we cannot meet every obligation without neglecting our primary duty to take care of ourselves. We can navigate this quandary by being conscious of what we choose to do and not do and by finding concrete ways to extend our caring when we are not able to be there in person. (Daily OM)

Ancient Babylonian Tablets Foretold Doom Awaiting Kings

 In ancient Babylonia, being king was a privileged position, but celestial events like eclipses posed significant threats.

Babylonians believed that eclipses signaled divine displeasure and foretold disasters such as rebellion, war, or even the king’s death.

If an eclipse predicted the king’s demise, he would temporarily go into hiding, and a substitute, often a prisoner or a simpleton, would be installed in his place. Once the danger passed, the substitute would be executed to appease the gods.

The Babylonians, in the second millennium B.C., viewed celestial phenomena as prophetic. Eclipses, in particular, were interpreted as angry messages from the gods....<<<Read More>>>....

Starmer accused of cronyism that is ‘rotting politics to its core’ after millionaire TV mogul Labour donor given ‘unrestricted’ access to Downing Street

 Keir Starmer was embroiled in a sleaze storm last night after it emerged that his biggest personal donor was given a rare Downing Street security pass.

The Government was accused of cronyism that is ‘rotting politics to its core’ following a string of controversial appointments since coming to power.

Labour peer Lord Alli, who paid for thousands of pounds of suits and spectacles for the Prime Minister among more than £500,000 in donations to Labour, was allowed unrestricted access to the heart of Government after the election....<<<Read More>>>...

The dangers of ultra-processed plant-based foods

 The dangers of ultra-processed plant-based foods have been highlighted in a recent Lancet study, indicating that these products could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality, offsetting the health benefits typically associated with a plant-based diet.

Although plant-based diets have been shown to have various health benefits, the study suggests that ultra-processed plant-based foods may be just as unhealthy as non-plant-based ultra-processed foods. On the other hand, there are concerns about nutritional deficiencies in plant-based diets and potential risks such as haemorrhagic stroke. So, it is difficult to conclude that plant-based diets, even without ultra-processed foods, are indeed a healthy choice.

A recent Lancet study found that ultra-processed plant-based foods are dangerous to one’s health. These products, plant-based versions of animal products prepared as substitutes for the real thing, include, as Epoch Times writer Ellen Wan wrote, “vegan sausages, nuggets, and burgers, as well as plant-based beverages such as soy and plant milks and sugary drinks. Snacks and candies made from processed plant ingredients are increasingly prevalent.” These products, the study found, “can be detrimental to health and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality,” the very things a plant-based diet is claimed to decrease...<<<Read More>>>...

Government report links fluoride intake to lowered IQ in children

The United States government has once again found that consuming fluoride is really dangerous, especially for children.

A new report from the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), reveals that exposure to fluoridated water at levels twice the recommended limit of 0.7 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of water is linked to lower IQ. Keep in mind that prior to 2015, the government-recommended fluoride level for drinking water was 1.5 mg/l.

For many decades – and still in some U.S. cities today that have not adjusted their fluoride levels to the new 0.7 mg/l standard – children across the U.S. have been forced to consume and bathe in water that was fluoridated at levels of 1.5 mg/l, which the NTP now admits causes brain damage and lowers IQ in children.

The new study, which includes data and analyses from previously published research, marks the first time that a U.S. federal agency has determined "with moderate confidence" that fluoride damages children's brains.

"While the report was not designed to evaluate the health effects of fluoride in drinking water alone, it is a striking acknowledgment of a potential neurological risk from high levels of fluoride," The Associated Press (AP) reported...<<<Read More>>>....

Influencing the Tone of Your Life

 When we enter a room or see an object for the first time, our minds register its color before any other detail. The colors our eyes can perceive are like words that form a subtle language of mood, energy, and insight. Color can exert a gentle effect on the mind and the body, influencing our dispositions and our physical health. Color has the ability to trigger our emotions, affect the way we think and act, and influence our attitudes. You unconsciously respond to the color of the walls in your home, your car, your clothing, and the food you eat based on your body’s natural reactions to certain colors and the psychological associations you have formed around them. The consequences of the decision to paint a room or wear a specific article of clothing therefore goes beyond aesthetics.

The colors you encounter throughout your day can make you feel happy or sad, invigorate you or drain your vitality, and even affect your work habits. Throughout history, cultures spread over many different parts of the globe have attributed varying meanings to different colors. In China, blue is associated with immortality, while people in the Middle East view blue as a color of protection. There is also evidence that human beings respond to color in a very visceral way. Red excites us and inflames our passions. Too much red, however, can make us feel overstimulated and irritated. Pink tends to make people feel loved and protected, but it also can cause feelings of lethargy. Yellow represents joy or optimism, and it can energize you and help you think more clearly. Bright orange reduces depression and sadness. Blue and green are known to inspire peaceful feelings, and people are often able to concentrate better and work in rooms painted in soft blues and greens. The darker tones of both colors can make you feel serious and introspective.

There are ways to integrate color into your life that go beyond picking the hues of your décor and your wardrobe. You can meditate with color by concentrating on the colors that make you feel peaceful or using a progression of colors to symbolize a descent into a relaxed state. Color breathing involves visualizing certain colors as you inhale and exhale. If you choose to surround yourself with the colors that you are attracted to and make you feel good, you can create an environment that makes you feel nurtured, peaceful, and uplifted....<<<Read More>>>...

What do you notice? And why it matters

Noticing is different from simply seeing or hearing. If I say that I see a bowl of fruit on the table or I hear a dog barking down the street, it's possible that the fruit bowl has just been placed there, or the dog has woken up and is barking for the first time. But if I say that I notice the fruit bowl or the dog barking, the implication is that it was there already, but I have only just now taken note of it.

The environment in which we find ourselves enters our field of perception, whether visual, auditory or via any of the other senses, in the form of information, the vast majority of which never reaches our conscious awareness. And that's a good thing...<<<Read More>>>...

What's Really Behind The Ice Wall In Antarctica?

Welcome to Starmer’s Britain Where “Illegal” Immigrants Have to be Referred to as “Irregular”

 Boris Johnson has written a storming column for today’s Mail about the authoritarian tenor of Sir Keir Starmer’s Government. Here’s how it begins:

For the first time ever I am becoming seriously worried about free speech in this country.

I don’t just mean the crucial freedom for people to say things that they honestly believe to be true. I mean the freedom to say things that are in fact true, but which the Labour government has decided are no longer acceptable.

Let me give an example. We have a problem with criminal gangs who have, for years, been bringing migrants across the English Channel in small boats. This practice is dangerous, and several hundred people – including children – have drowned.

The sight of these boats has enraged the British public. They cannot understand why it isn’t possible to end this trade in human life.

They cannot understand why the U.K. Border Force seems to have abandoned any attempt to protect U.K. borders, and instead spends its time actively ushering these dinghies and coracles to our shores....<<<Read More>>>....

When did the Globalists’ plan to enslave the world using chronic illness begin?

 Many writers in the resistance try to figure out when the crisis began – the crisis being that global monopoly capitalism is trying to enslave the entire developed world via chronic illness.

“When one works through a wide range of different possible points of origins one can make a strong case that the problem goes back to original sin,” Toby Rogers writes

Lots of writers in the resistance try to figure out when the crisis began – the crisis being that global monopoly capitalism is trying to enslave the entire developed world via chronic illness.

Obviously, the problem began well before SARS-CoV-2 was released in 2019.

Many people in the Resistance point to the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act as the start of the crisis. But the Central Intelligence Agency (“CIA”) has been running the country at least since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

Perhaps the crisis began when the US imported Nazi and Japanese bioweapons scientists after World War II?

Others pinpoint the start of the crisis to the creation of the Federal Reserve and the imposition of the federal income tax in 1913 that enabled the US to become a modern global empire.

I’ve argued before that covid is just the continuation of global conquest, colonisation, and empire that began in 1492.

Perhaps the problem began when we stopped being hunter-gatherers and first became farmers (to make beer, according to one leading theory)

When one works through a wide range of different possible points of origins one can make a strong case that the problem goes back to original sin. It’s the flaw that is unique to humans amongst all of the other animals – we are conscious of the difference between good and evil and yet we often choose evil. I actually think this is the correct answer – the problem goes all the way back to the problem of sin itself.

And so, it occurred to me recently that the covid crisis represents an extreme example of the Seven Deadly Sins......<<<Read More>>>...




Nearly 14,000 Britons seek government payments for COVID-19 vaccine injuries

Nearly 14,000 Britons have applied for government payouts due to the harm caused by Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) injections, according to the Daily Expose.

The United Kingdom's Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS), first established in 1979, is managed by the British Department for Health and Social Care. The VDPS offers a one-time payment of £120,000 ($157,080) to individuals who are severely disabled as a result of vaccination against certain diseases, including COVID-19.

The scheme has processed around 16,000 applications since its establishment. But is worth noting that as per recent figures obtained by the Telegraph, almost 14,000 of these are related to the COVID-19 vaccines.

The surge in claims has led to a significant increase in administrative support, with VDPS staff numbers rising from four to 80 last year. Despite the increase, only 175 payments have been approved – amounting to less than two percent of all applications. Payments have been granted for severe conditions such as stroke, heart attack, dangerous blood clots, spinal cord inflammation, excessive limb swelling, and facial paralysis....<<<Read More>>>...

Toxic Stress – The Deadly Epidemic

 We live in strange, difficult and confusing times.

In some ways, largely material, we are richer than any of our ancestors.

In other ways, largely spiritual, we are infinitely poorer.

Most of us live in well-equipped homes that our great-grandparents would marvel at. We have access to (relatively) clean drinking water at the turn of a tap. We can obtain light to work by and heat to cook by at the flick of a switch. Our homes are stuffed with possessions. We have automatic ovens, washing machines, tumble driers, dishwashers, food blenders, vacuum cleaners, television sets, DVD players, computers, mobile telephones and a whole host of other devices designed either to make our working hours easier or our leisure hours more enjoyable. If we want to travel anywhere, we can climb into our own motor cars or we can (sometimes) use public buses, trains or aeroplanes.

We have become so dependent upon these “things” that when they break down, we become aggressive and irritable. We can’t cope without them.

We are surrounded by the gaudy signs of our wealth and the physical consequences of human ambition and endeavour, but loneliness, unhappiness, anxiety and depression are now commoner than ever before in our history. There has never before been so much sadness, dissatisfaction and frustration as there is today. The demand for tranquillisers and sleeping tablets has risen steadily throughout the last few decades as our national and individual wealth has multiplied.

We have access to sophisticated communication systems and yet never before have we been so aware of our ignorance. We have more power over our environment than our ancestors ever dreamt of having and yet we are regularly reminded of our helplessness and our vulnerability. We are materially wealthy and yet spiritually deprived. We have conquered our planet and begun to conquer space and yet we are continually reminded of our woeful inability to live at peace with one another....<<<Read More>>>...
