Break Free from Comfort: The Path to Fulfillment Awaits

 Achieving fulfillment is, sadly, something so many people don’t aspire to.

If life could be likened to a game of tennis, then sadly, many people chose to play an eight-year-old! (Some people have to think about this, wondering if they should play someone even younger in case life isn’t easy and they get beaten!)

But, indeed, choosing to make things too easy results in a rather dull, drab, and predictable life.

Some people arrange their lives like this to such an extent that they become what could be called one of the living dead: corpses with heartbeats, doing things on automatic pilot in their comfortable, cozy rut.

Ever get the feeling from time to time that life is too easy and predictable, rather dull, drab, or run-of-the-mill for you? That could be because your life lacks a certain structure for achieving fulfillment....<<<Read More>>>...

Scientists Discover New Human Species With Large Heads

 Scientists have discovered a new species of human that went extinct 200,000 years ago in what is now China. Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of 16 individuals that were distinguished by large heads, wide skulls and huge teeth.

Their head sizes, which were larger than those of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, led the team to name the new prehistoric species Homo juluensis.

The fossilized remains were found alongside thousands of artefacts, stone tools and animal bones that revealed more about their lives, such as that they were hunters and made clothing from animal skins.

Researchers believe the species lived in small groups that likely disappeared when modern humans began migrating into Europe and Asia 120,000 years ago.

 Homo juluensis lived during a dramatic climate change, with an ice age that brought cooler, drier weather. Because Homo juluensis lived in small groups, this made them vulnerable to dangerous weather events that could kill them...<<<Read More>>>...

Is Banning the Burps of Bullocks Worth Risking Our Bollocks?

Cattle have long been accused of being among the top enemies of the climate. Despite the fact that creatures resembling our favourite Sunday dinners have been roaming the surface of the planet in their countless numbers for millions of years, climate warriors cannot distinguish between a cow, a car and a coal-fired power plant. 

Eating beef is destroying the planet, they claim. 

Some have demanded that livestock farming be abolished altogether and that governments intervene to force us into veganism by legislation. Others think that we can be ‘nudged’ into lentil-eating by re-branding it as a ‘plant-based lifestyle’. 

At the softer end of climate wars, however, are the innovators, who claim to have found a way to stop cows burping and farting ‘planet-destroying’ gases. The problem for them is that people aren’t buying that claim....<<<Read More>>>...

Biden administration to let migrants skip ICE check-ins in New York City

President Joe Biden's administration is "silently" rushing to roll out new policies that would make it easier for migrants to enter the U.S. illegally.

A report in the New York Post indicated that the outgoing administration intends to launch an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.

Insiders raised concerns and warned that the move is a "half-baked" plan that will lead more asylum seekers to abscond.

The app, which is set to be launched soon in the form of a pilot program in select cities, will allow the millions of illegal migrants released into the U.S. to await their asylum proceedings and check in with immigration officials on a phone or computer, two sources familiar with the app revealed.

Department of Homeland Security sources told The Post that the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.

Even when it's working correctly, the new app doesn't check for past arrests or outstanding warrants – something the current system tied to in-person appointments does, sources said.

That's just one of a handful of initiatives being pushed through before inauguration day – including allowing migrants to contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking while they await their immigration appointments.

The Biden admin is also working to make changes that allow migrants to stay in the United States. In yet another move, while the illegal immigrants wait to plead their asylum cases in immigration courts, they will no longer be required to check in with their local ICE field office every few months.

Critics of the illegal border policies of Biden note that under his presidency the number of migrants illegally crossing the southern border exploded, leading to massive lines and backlogs at ICE field offices. And causing many of the problems that systems are encountering today....<<<Read More>>>...

Arla’s project adding anti-methane compound to cows’ feed is another limb of the fake food agenda

 Arla has enlisted 30 farms to participate in trials of an additive to cattle feed that they claim will reduce methane gas emissions. As the safety of the product is as questionable as the dubious reasons for introducing it and the risk to humans is unknown there has quite rightly been a public backlash.

Aside from the health and environmental risks, as Dr. Lawrie highlights, this is just another instance of billionaires meddling with our food supplies. This should raise red flags for anyone who understands what, for example, Bill Gates’ aims are.

As part of its FarmAhead Customer Partnership initiative, Arla has joined forces with Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi to trial the use of Bovaer, a feed additive that reduces enteric methane emissions from cows on average by 27%. The project will also involve around 30 of Arla’s farmer owners.

Bill Gates has an unhealthy obsession with cows producing methane gas. His obsession is, of course, driven by how much money he can make out of his pandemic and climate scams. However, Newsweek reported that Bill Gates has not invested in Bovaer, he has invested in a similar bovine animal feed additive through Rumin8. Bovaer is a product developed by the Dutch company DSM-Firmenich.

Whether it is Gates, another oligarch or a large corporation attempting to corner the market and control the food supply through vaccines or feeds, the facts remain the same. There is nothing wrong with cows producing methane. On the contrary, as we noted in an article last year, methane from cattle is part of nature’s biogenic carbon cycle. Plants capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, absorbing the carbon and releasing the oxygen, the carbon is converted into carbohydrates and consumed by the cow where it is digested and some of the carbon is belched from the cow as methane. After an average of 10 years, the methane is converted into CO2 and so the cycle continues....<<<Read More>>>...

AI Can Now Replicate Your Personality

 Don't be fooled - AI have been highly advanced for decades (Or longer). They are amongst us and are hard to distinguish from our older version of AI. 

The algorithm basic AI being introduced is tens of thousands of miles behind the AI that is really out there. 

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

AI has been taught to clone a personality in just two hours – and this is a dream come true for sociologists and deepfake scammers.

Scientists from Stanford University and Google DeepMind have collaborated to develop an AI application capable of creating a digital replica of a person’s personality.

Their findings, detailed on the preprint server arXiv and reported by MIT Technology Review, demonstrate how generative AI can mimic human traits with remarkable accuracy.

The system, built on the large language model ChatGPT, operates by asking a series of questions, collecting responses over a two-hour session, and processing them to generate a digital copy of the person’s personality....<<<Read More>>>....

 

Lucky Numbers

 Glancing at the clock may cause us to look again sometimes, especially when we notice that we’ve caught it at the same time over and over again. Maybe we see the same number pattern echoed everywhere we look — whether on license plates or appliances — over a period of hours or even days. When we accept that there are no coincidences, we know that there is a message in the numbers for us, and we know to pay attention to the repeating patterns and search for their true meaning.

Numerology has its basis in the ancient world and tells us that each number carries its own vibration and symbolic significance. It can mark the stages of our soul’s evolution as we move from one frequency to the next. Repeating number patterns in our lives may call us to focus on certain aspects of our lives and approach them with the best within us. Once we’ve recognized that there is something we must look at more deeply, we also must trust that we will be guided to the people and places that hold the right answers for us.

Numbers, as symbols, can carry personal meanings as well. We may have our own lucky number that has served us well throughout our lives and another that reminds us of certain events of significance. If these are the numbers that are appearing, it may be the right time to delve into the past for clues about how to handle a present situation. Many people see 11:11, which can be interpreted as an energetic gateway that has opened for you and is ready to manifest your thoughts into reality. Whatever explanations you receive about the numbers that are appearing everywhere you look, the important thing is to trust your own guidance as to what they are telling you. Each culture attaches different meaning to the numbers, so a Chinese interpretation may be different from an interpretation from Kabbalah. It is up to us to use our intuition to see which is the best fit for us. If someone has an explanation that doesn’t feel right, then this is not the answer for you but may be a clue to keep you moving on the path. By paying attention to the numbers around us, we use them as tools to improve our connection to the universe and our awareness of our choices in life. (Daily OM)

Time for Starmer to Be Honest About What Net Zero Means: Rationing, Blackouts and Travel Restrictions in the Next Five Years

 Earlier this week the Labour backbencher and Chairman of the U.K. Parliament’s Energy Committee Bill Esterson noted that people will have to adjust their habits to meet Net Zero emission goals for 2030. Such honesty, emerging as it does from the Parliament of Net Zero nodding donkeys, is to be applauded. As far as it goes. 

Try a 30% reduction in energy demand. After 2030, consider that all beef, lamb and dairy will be banned and “replaced by new diets”. Then there is a massive 45% cut in most common building materials such as cement, along with a similar reduction in road freight traffic. The attack on farming will be remorseless with fertiliser restriction halving “direct emission” from the soil. To sum up: widespread rationing and blackouts along with food, holiday and travel restrictions, all within about 60 months.

Look at what they fund and write and whom they consult, not what they say, is the best advice to counter all the whoppers that are being told about Net Zero. Sir Keir Starmer’s statement at the recent COP29 that he didn’t want to tell people how to live their lives can only be explained by noting it came from a British Prime Minister who has difficulty telling a woman from a man. 

Thankfully we have the Government-funded U.K. FIRES project to give us an honest heads-up on the near-term implications of Net Zero. All of the substantial reductions in energy, food and industrial materials mentioned above arise from its “pragmatic approach”. Its evidence-based conclusions rely on technologies that are available today. It excludes processes such as carbon capture and hydrogen that have yet to be proven at meaningful scale.

Its conclusions warm the hearts of the most committed green ideologues. Its reports also happen to be the most honest representation of the horrors that await if the Net Zero fantasy ever becomes a reality.

By 2028 a total of seven million heat pumps will need to be installed and massive retrofits undertaken in domestic homes. Meanwhile, all rented and non-domestic properties will need to be EPC A rated by 2030. The desire to “manage land use for Net Zero emissions” means a massive cut in chemical fertilisers, so expect food supply to fall off a cliff....<<<Read More>>>...

More Madness - NHS advises doctors to tell patients with asthma how much their inhalers are contributing to “climate change”

 Another pantomime script designed to scare the gullible souls who believe everything they are told by deep state controlled organisations ..... more utter bollocks and total lies spewed by the psychopaths

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


The Greener NHS has issued new guidance advising doctors to stop prescribing blue asthma inhalers, which are used by millions of patients, due to their contribution to climate change.

In a shocking article published yesterday, The Times clearly demonstrates that the National Health Service (“NHS”) is reaching a tipping point where it is less about health and more about climate change.

The article is about the NHS advising doctors to stop prescribing blue inhalers for asthmatics. Why? Because, according to the headline, the blue inhalers harm the planet. However, after describing the problems asthmatics are causing the environment, almost as an afterthought, The Times noted the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (“NICE”) advice that explains the switch in inhalers is for health reasons.

That The Times has chosen to report on the story in such a way that highlights the NHS is now putting a fabricated anthropogenic climate change crisis above the health of the population is dangerous. Just as shocking as the NHS’ attitude towards its patients, The Times does not criticise the NHS or point out the dangers of green fascism (eco-fascism) taking hold in what was once legitimately called healthcare....<<<Read More>>>...

From The Ridiculous to The Sublime - BURPS, FARTS AND TAXES: Denmark becomes the first country to tax farm animals’ methane emissions

 Another script from the pantomime known as 'The Mad World' ... for the benefit of the gullible useless eaters set up by the psychopathic 10% who KNOW there is no climate change caused by CO2, Methane or anything. There is no greenhouse gas damage.....

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

 Denmark has just passed the first tax in the world on animal belches and flatulence in a bid to protect the environment.

The tax has been under negotiation for several years and was just passed by the Danish parliament.

The measure, which will go into effect in 2030, will see farmers assessed a charge of 300 Danish kroner (roughly $43) for each ton of carbon dioxide equivalent produced by their operations. This tax will more than double within five years, hitting 750 kroner (or around $106 right now) by 2035.

However, farmers will receive a 60% rebate because the technology does not yet exist to get rid of flatulence completely. The rebates will go up for farmers who take steps like sending their pig’s manure to machines that can pipe the methane to the gas grid or use additives in cows that will reduce the methane in their burps. Of course, one has to wonder what chemicals that can change an animal’s body chemistry enough to reduce the methane in their burps could do to the health of the people who consume them.

The government’s green transition minister, Jeppe Bruus, said in a statement: "We will do what it takes to reach our climate goals. [It is a] huge, huge task that is now underway: to transform large parts of our land from agricultural production to forestry, to natural spaces, to ensure that we can bring life back to our coastlines."

Denmark has five times as many cows and pigs as it does people, and almost two thirds of the country’s land is used for farming. As a result, agriculture contributes more to pollution than any other industry, putting it in green politicians’ crosshairs.

Arla Foods, the biggest dairy cooperative in Europe, is in favor of the move. Although they don’t necessarily support a tax, they believe that the compromise is a reasonable solution to the environmental concerns associated with dairy farming.

The company’s CEO, Peder Tuborgh, said: “They understand they need to do it; they want to do it. They know it is protecting their reputation, and they’re still producing.”

A dairy farmer who supplies Arla Foods, Jens Christian Sorensen, said he is trying to understand what the tax will mean for him as he has 300 milking cows along with a further 360 calves who are not yet producing any milk but are producing methane. He’s investing in sensors that can tip him off when his cows are sick, and he is tracking their food consumption and milk production as well.

Meanwhile, demand for Danish dairy is rising as global dairy consumption increases. Two thirds of Danish butter and half of its milk powder is exported...<<<Read More>>>...

UFOs Fly Over UK Airports, Government Labels Them as Drones

 In a startling series of events, multiple unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were reportedly sighted over UK airports, including Manchester, sparking widespread concern among aviation professionals.

Despite vivid accounts and high-quality footage captured by witnesses, government officials have dismissed the incidents as drones, leaving many questioning the official narrative.

The first reports surfaced online when a commercial pilot claimed to have spotted a metallic orb-like object while approaching Manchester Airport. According to the pilot, the orb hovered near the tarmac before ascending vertically at an astonishing speed. The incident was reported to Manchester Air Traffic Control, who allegedly dispatched ground vehicles to investigate the sighting....<<<Read More>>>...

Great White - Call It Rock And Roll

To mark Islamaphobia Awareness Month, MP calls for Blasphemy laws to be reinstated to protect Islam

At Prime Minister’s Questions (“PMQs”) Keir Starmer refused to rule out introducing blasphemy laws after a Labour MP demanded the Prime Minister prohibits the “desecration of religious texts”, including the Koran, GB News reported.

The question was put to Starmer by Tahir Ali, Labour MP for Birmingham Hall Green and Mosley, who represents Britain’s second-most Muslim constituency. Although Ali made mention of all Abrahamic religions, his question was framed in the context of the UK marking Islamophobia Awareness Month.

The Times columnist and regular writer for the Wall Street Journal Matt Ridley, re-tweeted Davis’ tweet with the comment, “A truly black moment for Britain to hear a prime minister effectively endorse the idea that we should reintroduce blasphemy laws.”

Both GB News and Ridley are misappropriating the Blasphemy laws which were in place to protect the Christian faith as the foundation of Britain’s laws and customs. The laws were not intended to protect all religions.

Blasphemy laws were repealed in England and Wales in 2008, and in Scotland in 2021. However, they remain in force in Northern Ireland.

Blasphemy laws in the UK date back to medieval times, with the common law offence of blasphemy was formally abolished in England and Wales in 2008. Scotland abolished its common law offence of blasphemy in 2021.

The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 repealed the common law offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel. The last reported attempt to prosecute someone for blasphemy in England and Wales was in 2008 when a case against BBC Director-General Mark Thompson was rejected by the High Court.

Blasphemy laws remain in force in Northern Ireland, inherited from Irish common law. While there have been no prosecutions under these laws, incitement to religious hatred is an offence in Northern Ireland, although it is rarely prosecuted.

The last reported prosecution for blasphemy in Scotland was in 1843. Due to Scottish law requiring a personal interest in a matter for private prosecution, and the state’s reluctance to initiate a prosecution, it is unlikely that blasphemy laws will be enforced in Scotland.

From 1838, the law of blasphemy only protected the tenets and beliefs of the Church of England. Other Christian denominations were also protected where their beliefs overlapped with those of the Church of England. Blasphemy laws protecting the Christian faith are an extremely important expression of principle – that Jesus’ name is above every other name. The blasphemy law was one part of the UK constitutional framework which recognised the unique contribution and status of Christianity in Britain.

Many secularists have long campaigned for the abolition of blasphemy laws, citing their infringement on freedom of speech and expression. The UK government has also pushed back against international efforts to reinstate blasphemy laws, emphasising the importance of protecting freedom of thought, conscience and belief.

While other religions should be tolerated, Christianity, and only Christianity, needs to be recognised as the official religion of the UK. Acknowledgement that Britain is a Christian country shouldn’t require a law, it should be by consensus and a knowledge of Britain’s customs, laws and constitution.

Socialist Starmer’s eagerness to impose yet more laws to control what people say and think should not surprise anyone. But what should be surprising and deeply concerning is that Starmer refuses to acknowledge that Britain is a Christian country.


That Muslims are demanding Blasphemy laws be implemented to stop so-called “Islamophobia” in a Christian country should also be cause for concern. “Islamaphobia Awareness Month” and outlawing criticism of the Koran is just the beginning. The religion of Islam does not have an equal footing in the UK as one of the Abrahamic religions. Muslims who live in the UK need to first and foremost recognise and respect that the UK is made up of four countries whose laws, customs and values are grounded in Christianity. If Muslims are unable to respect this basic tenet and Christian values are not being followed by the vast majority, then perhaps the Blasphemy laws do need to be reinstated to protect and preserve the Bible, Christians, Christianity, Christian values and the UK constitution....<<<Read More>>>....

World leaders see pandemic lockdowns as practice for CLIMATE LOCKDOWNS

 Another script from the pantomime .... for the gullible to believe and for them to fear their future.

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

It might feel that the era of lockdowns and medical tyranny are behind us, but world leaders think otherwise. In fact, members of the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization and the United Nations view pandemic lockdowns as a “practice run” for future “climate lockdowns.”

These individuals, who believe they can rule over the population and dictate people’s lives, claim that global lockdowns were “positive” for the environment because carbon emissions fell 5.4% during periods of inactivity. To achieve Net Zero carbon emissions and prevent the world from going off a "carbon cliff" by 2030, these globalists suggest the need for intermittent lockdowns and other, more discreet economic and energy controls to save the planet and protect us all from global catastrophe. However, these global plans are really just veiled wealth transfer schemes that threaten human rights, the rule of law, energy independence, national food sovereignty and the progress and growth of civilization....<<<Read More>>>...

Hearing the Whisper

 You may have noticed that if you want to speak to someone in a noisy, crowded room, the best thing to do is lean close and whisper. Yelling in an attempt to be louder than the room’s noise generally only hurts your throat and adds to the chaos. Similarly, that still, small voice within each of us does not try to compete with the mental chatter on the surface of our minds, nor does it attempt to overpower the volume of the raucous world outside. If we want to hear it, no matter what is going on around us or even inside us, we can always tune in to that soft voice underneath the surrounding noise.

It is generally true that the more insistent voices in our heads delivering messages that make us feel panicky or afraid are of questionable authority. They may be voices we internalized from childhood or from the culture, and as such, they possess only half-truths. Their urgency stems from their disconnectedness from the center of our being, and their urgency is what catches our attention. The other voice that whispers reassurances that everything is fundamentally okay simply delivers its message with quiet confidence. Once we hear it, we know it speaks the truth. Generally, once we have heard what it has to say, a powerful sense of calm settles over our entire being, and the other voices and sounds, once so dominant, fade into the background, suddenly seeming small and far away.

We may find that our own communications in the world begin to be influenced by the quiet certainty of this voice. We may be less inclined to indulge in idle chatter as we become more interested in maintaining our connection to the whisper of truth that broadcasts its message like the sound of the wind shaking the leaves of a tree. As we align ourselves more with this quiet confidence, we become an extension of the whisper, penetrating the noise of the world and creating more peace, trust, and confidence....<<<Read More>>>...

Are Non-Human Intelligences in Control of Our Nuclear Fate?

 One compelling hypothesis suggests that UAP sightings increase in times of heightened geopolitical tension, particularly when the threat of nuclear war intensifies.

Over the past five years, as the Doomsday Clock ticks closer to midnight, reports of UFO activity have spiked. This pattern aligns with claims that NHIs are deeply concerned about the destructive potential of nuclear weapons, not just for humanity but for the planet itself.

This theory posits that NHIs may possess the ability to monitor and even neutralize nuclear arsenals. Reports from military personnel have detailed incidents where UFOs allegedly hovered over nuclear silos, temporarily disabling the launch systems. Could this be a deliberate message: “We’re watching, and we won’t let you destroy your world”?...<<<Read More>>>...

Labour panic on Net Zero: Business Secretary says government has ‘heard’ backlash at EVs targets after Luton plant is SHUT – with fears of more job cuts to come

 Labour’s Net Zero plans have been thrown into confusion as ministers voice ‘profound concerns’ about the impact of EV targets.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds signalled an overhaul after Vauxhall announced plans to close its van-making factory in Luton.

Stellantis, which also owns Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat, said it would combine production at its other plant in Ellesmere Port.

Labour’s Net Zero plans have been thrown into confusion as ministers voice ‘profound concerns’ about the impact of EV targets.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds signalled an overhaul after Vauxhall announced plans to close its van-making factory in Luton.

Stellantis, which also owns Citroen, Peugeot and Fiat, said it would combine production at its other plant in Ellesmere Port.

Under the zero-emission vehicles (Zev) mandate, at least 22 per cent of new cars sold by each manufacturer in the UK this year must be zero-emission, with the threshold rising each year.

Under the current rules, the mandate will reach 80 per cent by 2030.

At present, car and van-makers will be slapped with fines of £15,000 per vehicle sold above the targets.

The Government has committed to bring the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans forward from 2035 to 2030, reversing a change introduced by Rishi Sunak’s government last year.

In his speech to the SMMT, Mr Reynolds said the Government was ‘absolutely committed’ to the 2030 target, but had ‘heard you loud and clear on the need for support to make this transition a success’.

Announcing a ‘fast-track’ consultation on changes to the Zev mandate, he said he was ‘profoundly concerned’ about how the policy was operating.

He said: ‘I’m going to be frank with you – I don’t believe the policies that we have inherited, and I mean specifically in relation to zero-emission vehicles, are operating today in a way anyone intended them to.’...<<<Read More>>>...

IMF calls for restrictions on economic activity that far exceed covid lockdowns to avoid a “climate disaster”

Another script from the movie ... to scare the gullible

+++++++++++

The International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) is calling for economy-crushing carbon restrictions that would dwarf that of the lockdowns enforced during the covid era.

The IMF’s plan could lead to crippling energy shortages, food shortages, job losses and eventual total collapse and population decline in Western nations.

At the height of the covid lockdowns and mandates a massive portion of the global economy was shut down, leading to supply chain instability, huge job losses and a stagflationary crisis. However, climate change propagandists argued that the event was actually a positive for the planet when it was revealed that emissions fell by 5.4%. They asserted that the covid lockdowns were a practice run for what they called “climate lockdowns” – presenting a plan for scheduled disruptions to global economic activity as a means to slow the effects of climate change.

Globalists also presented climate lockdowns as a kind of collective social punishment in the event that populations refused to cut carbon output on their own. As World Economic Forum “Agenda Contributor” Mariana Mazzucato argued in 2020:


Under a “climate lockdown,” governments would limit private vehicle use, ban consumption of red meat and impose extreme energy-saving measures, while fossil-fuel companies would have to stop drilling. To avoid such a scenario, we must overhaul our economic structures and do capitalism differently.

Many think of the climate crisis as distinct from the health and economic crises caused by the pandemic. But the three crises – and their solutions – are interconnected …

After a public uproar over the notion of extending pandemic lockdowns into climate lockdowns, the establishment media would go on to “fact check” the issue and assert that it was a “conspiracy theory.” They lied....<<<Read More>>>...

Low Self-Esteem & the Illusion of Perfection

 The simple truth is this:

If you aspire to accomplish your dreams, to have the freedom to be yourself, to spiritually evolve, to walk your own path …

… you will never be able to live a fulfilling life unless you rid yourself of low self-esteem and acquire the courage of self-confidence.

On my journey of self-discovery, self-awareness, and self-love, these are some of the secrets that I’ve learned:

We are born with an innate sense of wanting to belong.

As we grow up society helps us form the notion of perfection, or what is “good enough”.

Basically, we need to create an idea to live up to, so that we can feel accepted by everybody.

Our parents tell us what they expect from us, so do our siblings, our teachers and our religions.

Society uses the media to constantly expose us to perfection, from advertisements informing us how outdated our belongings are compared to their new products, to beautiful models selling creams, diets or protein bars.

Comparison is one of the biggest obstacles in finding self-esteem. We use it to find another standard of “perfection” for acceptance.

Through social media sites like Facebook, we constantly use our friends, family and colleagues to measured up to their financial success, or how happy our lives are compared to theirs, or at least what they choose to share.

But the truth is, we only see the surface of other people’s lives, and we know all the imperfection of ours, yet we use this false surface perception as a guideline of how “well” we are doing.

By trying to be good enough and by trying to be accepted, we create an unreal image of perfection that we don’t manage to live up to.

Realizing our imperfection, we reject ourselves....<<<Read More>>>...

Motorway Driving in an Electric Vehicle Can Cost Twice as Much as in a Petrol Car

 The Telegraph’s motoring correspondent Andrew English has been writing about driving Ford’s Mustang Mach-E. The Telegraph isn’t noted for its general support of the present and last governments’ energy policies, but even so his experience was a memorably expensive and salutary one.

The first thing I learnt during 11,000 miles in the Mach-E was that it isn’t a ‘proper’ Mustang. Secondly, if you regularly cover high mileage in an EV, you need to travel when everyone else isn’t to avoid queuing at chargers.

English set out during autumn half-term to see his elderly mother, his petrol Civic being in for servicing.

It looked as though Gridserve hadn’t done much planning, either. Of its 24 high-current chargers at Exeter services, eight were out of service. It was chaos

“I’m glad my boss will be doing this next week so he can see what it’s like,” said Gridserve’s Matt Sidwell, who was doing sterling work trying to instill order to the rambunctious queuing system. With no space to stack cars, no signposting and people constantly trying to push in, he was fighting a losing battle.

“The thing that drives me crazy is the people who stay on the charger to get a 100% charge,” he said. “It’s virtually impossible to achieve and takes so long because the charger is only trickling current in at that point.”

I looked enviously at the rows of Tesla-only chargers, most of them unoccupied.

It took 45 minutes for a charger to become vacant. I plugged in the Ford, unwrapped a bacon sandwich and wondered why Colmans no longer sells mustard in tubes.

There was a sharp tap at the window. “The chargers are rated at 175kWh,” said an elderly motorist who’d emerged from a Nissan Leaf and was peering at the charger display. “You’re only getting 80.”

I didn’t tell him I’ve rarely seen more than 80 and even then not for long, although the Ford’s DC fast charging is rated at 150kWh.

I just wish Ed Miliband, the energy security minister, was there so I could stuff my bacon sandwich where the sun doesn’t shine, but he was packing his swimmers for the COP conference in Baku.

With the Mustang averaging 2.8 miles per kWh on motorways, it has an effective range of 250 to 270 miles (from the 91kWh lithium-ion battery) against a claim of 372 miles (although, to be fair, Ford advertises the Mach-E with a “motorway range” of 306 miles).

To eke out the range I travel everywhere with the heater off, which currently demands a substantial coat, hat and gloves. I’m writing to Santa for thick socks this Christmas.

Fighting off the drastic effect aerodynamic drag has on an EV’s range, English reached his mother, who quizzed him about the Ford.

My poorly mother proved to be in rather better health than the U.K. charging system on that day. She was interested in the Ford parked outside.

“So, how much does it cost to run?” she asked, ever the mathematician.

I grabbed some paper.

While I once had to pay a whopping £1.12 per kWh at a Shell Recharge station, in general fast charging averages at between 85 and 90p per kWh. On a long motorway journey, the Ford averages between 2.6 and 2.8 miles per kWh, which is by no means unexceptional in large battery SUVs I’ve tested. Using the more generous figures in both cases, the Ford is costing at least 30p per mile for the electricity alone....<<<Read More>>>....

On Friday, Florida's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced that communities in the state shouldn't add fluoride to drinking water because of what he called the "neuropsychiatric risk associated with fluoride exposure."

Fluoride has long been proven to drive down tooth decay by strengthening teeth, which Ladapo acknowledged in the guidance. But he added that there are also possible "safety concerns related to systemic fluoride exposure," including reductions in IQ. While some studies have suggested potential links, the research is considered preliminary and far from definitive.

The American Dental Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention support the use of fluoridated water, calling it one of the top 10 public health achievements of the past century. All cite studies that show it reduces tooth decay by 25%.

Once its benefits were proven, fluoride was also added to toothpaste and some mouthwashes. Dentists began giving kids fluoride treatments. Some communities are restoring fluoride to their water systems after seeing a rise in children's cavities.

The anti-fluoride drumbeat has become louder in recent years. Communities have increasingly opted out of adding it to water, citing possible health risks. There are ongoing, active investigations about safe levels of fluoride exposure...<<<Read More>>>...

Biden and Starmer Have Started World War III without bothering to tell us

 The UK Prime Minister and the outgoing US President have started World War III by allowing Ukraine to use British and American missiles to attack Russia. 

They have done this without declaring war or informing their electorates. Starmer and Biden have acted without the authority or knowledge of their citizens.

Russia has issued a statement indicating that it now feels justified in defending itself with nuclear weapons and has given President Putin the authority to start firing nuclear missiles at Britain and the US.

While the British mainstream media obsessed about the death of an unpleasant, hypocritical politician who did massive harm to the country and the funeral of a pop singer who was hardly a household name, “Free Suits” Starmer (famed previously for grabbing freebies, endorsing a policy designed to kill huge numbers of old people and doing great damage to farming in Britain) quietly, and almost secretly (as though the electorate had no right to know what was happening), gave permission for Ukraine to use British Storm Shadow Missiles to attack Russia. 

And without a wait or a thank you, Ukraine started using them. This followed Biden’s decision to start World War III by allowing Ukraine to fire American ATACMS missiles into Russia...<<<Read More>>>

Effective EMF blocking techniques

 People are used to having a variety of electronic devices that make modern life easier, such as cell phones, laptops and appliances. However, not everyone knows that the constant use of these devices is linked to possible health risks.

Cell phones, computers, microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, power lines and other appliances all emit a stream of invisible energy waves. Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are produced wherever electricity is used, including your home or at the office.

Some experts have even voiced their concerns about the potential health effects of EMFs. Keep reading to learn more about EMFs and how to block their signals....<<<Read More>>>....

Is the Universe Fine-Tuned for Life—or Is It Just an Illusion?

 Daniele Sorini: Physicists have long grappled with the question of why the universe was able to support the evolution of intelligent life. The values of the many forces and particles, represented by some 30 so-called fundamental constants, all seem to line up perfectly to enable it.

Take gravity. If it were much weaker, matter would struggle to clump together to form stars, planets and living beings. And if it were stronger, that would also create problems. Why are we so lucky?

Research that I recently published with my colleagues John Peacock and Lucas Lombriser now suggests that our universe may not be optimally tailored for life. In fact, we may not be inhabiting the most likely of possible universes.

We particularly studied how the emergence of intelligent life is affected by the density of “dark energy” in the universe. This manifests as a mysterious force that speeds up the expansion of the universe, but we do not know what it is....<<<Read More>>>...

Rewriting the Script of Life

This is a good moment to think big.

Big things are happening on the world stage – but most only involve a change of emphasis, a reordering of the standard power play conducted within the deep state’s global field of influence.

Don’t confuse this ‘Reset’ with the deeper change which is taking place underneath. Although they do overlap at times, they are very different happenings.

The World Economic Forum version is based upon the power play of a number of despotic billionaires, gathering behind them a coterie of political, corporate and technocratic ciphers having no spine and no interest in operating outside the standard field of financially rewarding slavery.

This motley cabal is going nowhere other than to a different corner of the anti-life cul-de-sac within which they permanently operate.

They are a self interested force based entirely on ‘taking’. Draining the life force of its vigour and, whether consciously or unconsciously, fixated on destruction and control.

In amongst their dark endeavours a glimmer of light occasionally seems to show itself – but this is a chimera, because where suppression, greed, control and death form the fundaments of the policies being adhered to, no emanation of light is possible.

Collective values resonating with emanations of light belong to a completely different realm.

They set their life course on cooperation, instead of division. Empathy, instead of alienation. Peace, instead of war. Nurturing, instead of stealing. Truth, instead of lies. Love, instead of hate. Justice, instead of criminality. The formation of life, as opposed to a cult of death.

You will find such light only where the values being expressed are the antithesis of the inhuman brutality adopted as the means to become ‘successful’ within the dominant corporate and billionaire based model of the modern world....<<<Read More>>>...

With Trump soon to be inaugurated, climate scientists declare SUDDEN END to “climate emergency” narrative

 All these years of fearmongering over a "melting" planet and "boiling" oceans were for naught now that the so-called "climate emergency" has been discarded as junk science.

The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) held a two-day climate conference in Prague earlier this month at the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Republic. There, climate scientists declared and affirmed "that the imagined and imaginary 'climate emergency' is at an end."

Several of the world's leading scientists and researchers spoke at the event, making it clear to everyone there that just about everything the world has been told about climate change and global warming is highly exaggerated at best, and flat-out false in reality.

"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which excludes participants and published papers disagreeing with its narrative, fails to comply with its own error-reporting protocol and draws conclusions some of which are dishonest, should be forthwith dismantled," it was further stated at the conference...<<<Read More>>>...

New treatment for cancer targeting cell respiration and mitochondrial function has been published

In September, a paper was published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine which describes the scientific rationale for the hybrid orthomolecular protocol as well as providing detailed information on the protocol itself.

The hybrid orthomolecular protocol is a new strategy for treating cancer. It involves the use of various supplements and dietary interventions, including vitamin D, zinc, ivermectin, benzimidazoles and DON, as well as a ketogenic diet and fasting....<<<Read More>>>..

Mental health therapy has become fluff and wokeness: How it happened

 Leftist ideology is perverting the mental health fields

The way we train therapists is not only useless, but it can also exacerbate mental illness. I learned the true purpose of my graduate program in clinical mental health counseling early on. During my first semester, my professor for my Counseling the Culturally Diverse class said that our primary objective as therapists is to become political activists so that we can "burn it all to the ground."

That objective might seem bizarre to outsiders, but in my program, questioning it would look morally and intellectually suspect. The theory goes that all mental anguish is caused by oppression, and if we can dismantle the systems of oppression then we can relieve the distress... except that isn't the real goal. In my program and in academia more broadly, social justice is the objective, not simply a means to an end.

My professors frequently say that gender affirming care is the only appropriate way to treat gender confused minors. Never mind that most of them will probably grow out of these feelings. Never mind the damning evidence in the WPATH files or the Cass Report. Gender affirming care is the goal because it represents social justice. The broken bodies of detransitioners are considered a small price to pay for such a noble vision.

Both students and professors know that this is the "right" answer, but few even know what the question is. One of my professors went on a tirade about how terrible Texas is because the state limited gender affirming care. One woman in the class asked, "But what if a child changes their mind about transitioning later?" My professor responded, "Huh, I guess I've never thought about that." This represents a theory of mind issue: those caught in the social justice worldview have a complete inability to imagine any perspective that is not their own....<<<Read More>>>...

UAPs: Exotic or Mundane?

 The opportunity to encounter exotic phenomena makes life thrilling. In contrast, the boring routine is to meet the mundane. We crave for the exotic over the mundane. Because of this tendency, Richard Feynman warned: “We must be careful not to believe things simply because we want them to be true. No one can fool you as easily as you can fool yourself.” This pearl of wisdom cautions not to get carried away with the interpretation of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

Yesterday, a reporter from the New York Post sent me a video taken by a television news crew from a helicopter over Manhattan, showing a fast-moving ball of light during daytime. He asked: “Do you believe it is an object or a phenomenon of the camera or light? Does it appear to bear any resemblance to other types of UAP that have been reported to be seen around the world?”....<<<Read More>>>...

This MAD World: "Dirty pants on washing line recorded as non-crime hate incident by police, if only it was a joke"

 Police recorded a soiled pair of underwear hung on a washing line as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), it has emerged.

 In September 2021, a woman complained to North Wales Police that her neighbours had “hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” for the past two months.
 

The force recorded it as a hate incident because the complainant had an Italian surname and the underwear was first put on the washing line in July that year. That month, Italy defeated England on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final of football’s European Championships....<<<Read More>>>....

Reclaiming Our Roots

 Some cultures are more rooted to the Earth and connected to their inherent spirituality. But every one of us, even those of us who have been disconnected from our roots for hundreds of years, comes from a place that was once inhabited by people who worshiped and honored the Earth on which they lived. In other words, we can all claim this wisdom as an essential part of who we are.

One way we can begin to rediscover our roots is to explore the early Earth-based religions practiced in the parts of the world that birthed our ancestors. If we explore the ancient spiritual practices of our ancestors, we will find that their practices and beliefs share many elements with Native American, African, and aboriginal religious traditions. People who are connected to the Earth and honor her share a fundamental philosophy that is part of our legacy because we, too, are of the Earth. Many of us have become so disconnected from the Earth that it feels foreign and awkward to imagine communing with her or performing a ritual for her. If we are honest, though, we will find within ourselves yearning to feel more connected, more grounded, and more at home in this world. This yearning can lead us back to our forgotten roots, which leads us right into the heart of the Earth.

As we begin to see more clearly the people we come from, we can begin to alter our perception of who we are now, laying claim to our inherent connection to the Earth. We might celebrate this by observing the ancient calendar of solstices and equinoxes, honoring the cycle of the seasons as our ancestors did or exploring any one of the many Earth-based practices through reading or participating in a ritual. When we do these things, we tap back into our roots and can often find nourishment through our earthly origins — something we share with all of humanity....<<<Read More>>>...

Midazolam Matt admits DNR notices were abused during the covid “pandemic”

 Former UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock stated that ‘do not resuscitate’ (“DNR”) orders were wrongly applied during the covid pandemic, and a systemic review of all DNR notices put in place in early 2020 should be considered.

The Telegraph reported yesterday that while giving evidence to the UK Covid Inquiry on Friday, Hancock said it was “obvious” the orders had been “wrongly applied” in some circumstances and backed an investigation into their use during the pandemic.

Hancock acknowledged that the issue of consent is crucial and expressed his support for a review, although he could not recall ministers looking into it during his time in government due to their focus on preventing the problem.

He insisted he acted “immediately” on concerns over the inappropriate use of DNRs during the covid crisis when he was first alerted to them. And claimed to have acted immediately on concerns over the inappropriate use of DNRs, using the daily press conference to address the issue and discussing it with NHS leadership.

The UK government was threatened with legal action over inconsistent advice on DNRs during the pandemic, leading to the publication of new patient-facing guidelines in July 2020.

A 2021 survey by the care watchdog found that blanket DNR orders were imposed on care home residents without their consent, and people with learning disabilities were also affected, showing a disregard for disabled people’s rights. Age UK described the findings as “extremely disturbing” and confirmed concerns that people’s rights were disregarded during the pandemic.

During his testimony, Hancock also made the case for future lockdowns, despite questions over their justification. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has expressed doubts about the effectiveness of national shutdowns in defeating the virus. Johnson described the restrictions as “literally medieval in their savagery and consequences.”...<<<Read More>>>...

'Global' Warming? Little Ice Age cooling and sea ice expansion is still ongoing across Antarctica today

New research indicates there has been no reduction in sea ice in Antarctica's Robertson Bay (Ross Sea) during the last century. Instead, the frigid Little Ice Age and its expanded sea ice conditions continue unabated through the 20th and 21st centuries.

Between ~8000 and 3500 years before present the Antarctic ice sheet experienced several millennia of retreat and the sea ice extent surrounding the continent decreased throughout the Middle Holocene. For the next few millennia after that, or from about 3500 to 1500 years ago, the ice sheet and sea ice extent advanced to near modern levels.

"The East and West Antarctic ice sheets underwent rapid periods of retreat in the Ross Embayment, the continent's largest ice drainage basin, between 8 and 3.5 calkyr BP. Recent work shows that retreat was followed by a period of readvance and the ice sheets reached their modern configurations during the late Holocene."

During the Medieval Warm Period, or from approximately 1500 to 700 years before present, variations in F. curta diatom, a proxy for sea ice extent, indicate Antarctic sea ice retreated again to its much lower (<40%) Middle Holocene levels.

"...during the period between 1.5 and 0.7 calkyr BP...lower F. curta abundance in Robertson Bay (<40%) is characteristic of a reduction in spring sea ice concentration and a longer summer open water season."

Then, after the Medieval Warm Period ended, Antarctica's Little Ice Age (LIA) cooling began. The ice sheet grew and sea ice advanced to the highest levels of the last 7000 years (~60%)....<<<Read More>>>...

Government Hands Foreign Farmers £500m – the Same Amount the Inheritance Tax Raid is Projected to Raise

 Labour is continuing to hand out more than £500 million to foreign farmers – about the same amount projected to be raised by its inheritance tax raid on British farms that threatens to “destroy” them. The Telegraph has the story.

Fresh analysis shows more than £536 million is being spent across ten programmes in Africa, Asia, and South America, including in Brazil, the world’s 11th-richest country, where low-carbon agriculture is being funded.

Many of the schemes stretch for more than a decade, with one £206 million plan running until 2031 having launched in 2012.

One project worth £16 million is attempting to grow tea in Rwanda for the first time, according to figures from the Taxpayers’ Alliance seen by the Daily Express.

It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves sparked fury by cutting relief on death taxes for farms and businesses. The sweeping changes – predicted to raise £500m – mean farmers must now pay 20% tax on the value of their farm above £1 million.

Robert Jenrick, Shadow Cabinet Minister, criticised Labour for “spending hundreds of millions on foreign farmers while British livelihoods are destroyed by their cruel inheritance tax changes”.

He told the Express: “That will feel like a slap in the face for many British farmers. It’s not too late for Starmer to listen, admit he’s made a big mistake, and actually keep a promise he made at the election." ...<<<Read More>>>...

8 million people in England are still prepared to risk their lives by having another covid injection

  Another post that might be removed due to community infringement .... so take note of the read me link at the bottom of the article ...

+++++++++++

On Thursday, the UK Health Security Agency released data relating to its Autumn 2024 covid vaccination programme in England. Disappointingly, 8 million people, 14% of the population, have had yet another harmful injection.

Of the 34% of the population who UKHSA deem to be at high risk regarding covid and so eligible for an Autumn 2024 dose, 41% allowed themselves to be injected. Proportionally far more people who identify as white British have been duped, or coerced, into taking the latest “booster.” It seems white British people are more vulnerable not to covid but to blindly trusting UKHSA, the National Health Service and/or the Government.

In August 2021, the UK Department of Health and Social Care boasted that over 88% of adults had a first dose and over 72% of adults had two doses. In September 2021, the first of the booster doses began. There have been two doses a year – spring and autumn campaigns – so some people have had 6 additional doses up to and including the spring of 2024, meaning they have had 8 injections between the winter of 2020 and the summer of 2024. The vaccination campaign in the autumn of 2024 would be the ninth injection in four years. It is this ninth injection that is the subject of our article.

During the winter months, the UK Health Security Agency (“UKHSA”) publishes its ‘National flu and COVID-19 surveillance report’ every week. Within the data is a summary of how many people in England UKHSA believes are at high risk with regards to covid. The data also shows how many people within these groups have lined up for yet another dose....<<<Read More>>>....
