UK masterminding Ukrainian strikes on international energy sites - FSB chief

 British intelligence services are directly involved in orchestrating Ukrainian attacks on internationally-owned energy sites in Russia and are plotting further operations against a key regional pipeline, Federal Security Service (FSB) Director Aleksandr Bortnikov has claimed.

Speaking on Thursday at a meeting of security chiefs in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, Bortnikov claimed that personnel from the UK's Special Air Service (SAS) and MI6 spy agency helped plan Ukrainian drone strikes on assets of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) earlier this year. The consortium, which includes major US companies such as Chevron and ExxonMobil, exports Kazakh oil through Russia. 

 According to Bortnikov, British and Ukrainian operatives are also planning acts of sabotage against the TurkStream gas pipeline, which was launched in 2020 to supply Russian natural gas to consumers in Türkiye and several southern European nations....<<<Read More>>>...

Quantum mechanics: How the future might influence the past

 In 2022, the physics Nobel prize was awarded for experimental work showing that the quantum world must break some of our fundamental intuitions about how the universe works.

Many look at those experiments and conclude that they challenge “locality” — the intuition that distant objects need a physical mediator to interact. And indeed, a mysterious connection between distant particles would be one way to explain these experimental results....<<<Read More>>>...

100,000 Amazon Trees Chopped Down to Build Road for COP30 Climate Conference

Spare a thought for the BBC’s Justin Rowlatt as he considers his upcoming trip to the Brazilian city of Belém to report on COP30. Saving the world and its environment is his gig so how will he face the prospect of travelling down a new four-lane highway cut through the dense Amazon rainforest to help speed him and his 70,000 other political activists to their luxury hotels? 

Based on trees per acre, an estimated 100,000 mature specimens have been chopped down and logged to build the eight-mile Avenida Liberdade causing untold disruption to local wildlife. 

Happily, all is not lost in despair. If he wishes, the BBC’s activist-in-chief can consider recent findings published in Nature Plants that increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have led to substantial growth in the remaining Amazon forest, with mature trees growing by over 6% a decade. 

Perhaps he could start promoting on the BBC the enormous benefits of CO2, rightly known as the gas of life. He could front a campaign to assuage his dented COP conscience along the lines: ‘Forward with Carbon Dioxide, not Chainsaws.’...<<<Read More>>>....

MPs laugh at the suggestion that they are responsible for high energy bills in the UK

 Chris Norbury, the chief executive of E.On UK, stated that even if the wholesale price of energy were zero, household energy bills would still remain at their current levels due to the significant increase in non-commodity costs, such as network charges and policy levies.

This highlights that the primary drivers of high energy bills are not wholesale gas prices but rather embedded costs related to infrastructure and government policies.

The Energy Security and Net Zero Select Committee (“ESNZ”) is a select committee of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. It was established in April 2023 as the successor to the previous Energy and Climate Change Select Committee. It scrutinises the policy, spending, and administration of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and its public bodies, including Ofgem and the Committee on Climate Change.

On Wednesday, ESNZ held an inquiry to hear oral evidence regarding the cost of energy. During the inquiry, ESNZ questioned the chief executives of the “Big Six” energy companies: OVO Energy, Octopus Energy, E.ON, Centrica, EDF UK and ScottishPower.

During the inquiry, E.ON’s Chris Norbury said: “If I look at the non-commodity costs – policy costs, network costs – then certainly some of the modelling that we have, suggests that you could get to a position by 2030 where if the wholesale price was zero, bills would still be the same as they are today because of the increase in those non-commodity costs.”

If we move those non-commodity costs off the electricity bill, it would help bring bills down, he said....<<<Read More>>>...

Sesame seeds: A tiny powerhouse of nutrients that bolster health and wellness

Sesame seeds are one of the oldest cultivated oilseed crops, dating back over 5,000 years with origins in Africa and India.

Sesame seeds are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, B vitamins and antioxidants like lignans and phytosterols.

Sesame seeds support bone health, immune function, metabolism, heart health and collagen production. They also help reduce inflammation and LDL cholesterol through their nutrient and antioxidant content.

Organic sesame seeds are recommended to minimize pesticide exposure and heavy metal contamination, with a focus on mechanically dehulled seeds for better nutrient retention.

Used worldwide in various forms (e.g., whole, toasted, as oil or tahini), sesame seeds can enhance many dishes from salads and baked goods to traditional foods like hummus, gomae and halva.

Sesame seeds are tiny yet mighty nutritional gems that have been cherished for centuries. Often overlooked in modern diets, these seeds are packed with essential nutrients, offering numerous health benefits. From their rich historical roots to their culinary versatility, sesame seeds deserve recognition as one of the world's most nourishing seeds....<<<Read More>>>...

UK Digital ID: The BritCard Bait and Switch

 In my previous article I suggested that the UK’s proposed “mandatory” digital ID, called the BritCard, was a bait and switch psyop. 

I posited that the arguments presented by Keir Starmer’s purported Labour government, to supposedly justify the BritCard rollout, coupled with the timing of the announcement, the apparent inability to understand public opinion, and the lack of necessity for the BritCard, indicated that there was something amiss with the so-called government’s BritCard proposition.

It seems to me that the purpose of the BritCard gambit is to frame the Overton Window for the public debate about digital ID in the UK. People can accept or reject it, imagining the BritCard represents the totality of digital ID infrastructure. If the population rejects the BritCard they may well do so under the misapprehension they have defeated digital ID in the UK.

Subsequent developments have strengthened my view.

Digital ID is a global policy initiative that governments around the world, including the British government, are following, not leading. It is the United Nation’s (UN’s) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16.9 which promises to “by 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth registration.”

UK Has Lost Control of its Borders, Says Home Secretary

 The UK has lost control of its borders, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has said, as she calls for “international cooperation” in a tacit admission that Britain has surrendered its sovereignty to foreign courts and treaties. The Telegraph has more.

Shabana Mahmood will say on Wednesday that Britain’s failure to control its borders is eroding trust in politicians and the credibility of the state.

At a summit with Balkan interior ministers in London, the Home Secretary will issue one of the frankest assessments yet of the risks the Government is running if it fails to get a grip on the migration crisis.

She will say that only through international co-operation can countries secure their borders.

In 2024 alone, almost 22,000 people were smuggled along routes through the Western Balkans, while 35,500 migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats this year, up 30% on last year.

Her forthright approach comes as Labour seeks harder-edged policies restricting rights for migrants in an attempt to reverse Reform’s surge in popularity.

“The public rightly expect that their Government will be able to determine who enters their country and who must leave,” she will say.

“Today, in this country, and I know in many if not all of yours, that is not the case. And the failure to bring order to our borders is eroding trust not just in us as political leaders… but in the credibility of the state itself.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Dr. Benjamin Lau’s “Garlic for Health” expounds on an ancient remedy backed by modern science

 Garlic has been used for millennia across civilizations (Egypt, China, Jewish tradition) for its antimicrobial, immune-boosting and vitality-enhancing properties. 

Modern science confirms its effectiveness against infections, including Candida, Cryptococcus neoformans and even HIV support.

Garlic naturally lowers LDL cholesterol, prevents blood clots and reduces hypertension without the harmful side effects of statins. Studies show just half a clove daily can reduce total cholesterol by 12 percent in high-risk patients.

Garlic improves insulin sensitivity, reduces inflammation and has been shown in studies to reverse cognitive decline and extend lifespan in animal models. Human trials demonstrate its immune-strengthening role in HIV/AIDS patients.

Garlic's organosulfur compounds (like allicin) selectively target cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue. Population studies link high garlic consumption to lower rates of stomach and colorectal cancers.

Unlike patented pharmaceuticals, garlic is unprofitable for Big Pharma, leading to its suppression despite proven benefits. Lau advocates garlic as a natural, accessible and side-effect-free alternative to toxic drugs, vaccines and processed foods—a tool for medical freedom....<<<Read More>>>...

Cutting Cords

 In every relationship, people are constantly exchanging energy — creating a cord connecting the two people. This energetic cord forms just below the breastbone and can remain long after a relationship has ended. This unbroken cord may leave an open channel between you and another person, through which emotions and energy can continue to flow. If you are unaware that the cord exists, it is easy to feel the other person’s emotions and mistakenly think that they are yours. This can limit the amount of closure you experience in a relationship and leave you with a continued sense of sadness while creating feelings of lethargy as your own energy is sapped from you. Cutting the cord can help you separate yourself from old baggage and unnecessary attachments, and release you from connections that are no longer serving you.

Finding and cutting unwanted cords is a simple, gentle process that is best done alone and when you are relaxed. It is important that you are strong in your intention to release the cord between you and someone else. To begin, breathe deeply and perform a simple centering meditation. When you are ready, visualize or sense the cords that are connecting you to other people. Run your fingers through the cords to separate them until you find the cord you wish to sever. There is no need to worry because the cord you need to sever will feel just right. When you find it, determine where the cut should be made and then visualize the cord being cleanly cut. If you need assistance, Archangel Michael can be called upon to help you with his sword. Afterward, if you feel that cutting the cord has left spaces in your energy field, then visualize those spaces being filled with healing sunlight.

There may be times when cutting a cord can help free a relative or loved one to reach new stages of growth. You’re not severing a relationship; you are severing the cords that are no longer serving you both. At other times, a cord may simply refuse to be cut because it is still serving a higher purpose. It is also important to remember that cutting a cord with someone is not a replacement for doing your emotional work with people. It can, however, be an enactment of that work upon its completion. In any case, cutting a relationship cord should always be viewed as a positive and nurturing act. By cutting the cords that no longer need to be there, you are setting yourself and others free from the ties that bind. (Daily OM)

Collectivism is threatening our freedom and creating modern slavery

 Collectivism is a cultural, psychological and political worldview that prioritises the needs of the group over the individual, leading to a form of modern slavery where people are controlled and oppressed.

Collectivist ideology is used by organisations such as the World Economic Forum and secretive groups like the Bilderbergers, who aim to give total power to the elite. It is being used to drive the destruction of various aspects of society, including education, healthcare and democracy, and has led to the suppression of individual rights and freedoms.

Collectivism is contrasted with individualism, which emphasises personal autonomy and personal responsibility.

It is collectivism which is destroying our world and our humanity, Dr. Vernon Coleman writes....<<<Read More>>>...

Miliband Approves UK’s Biggest Solar Farm on 3,000 Acres of Prime Farmland

 Ed Miliband has approved the UK’s largest solar farm to date, covering 3,000 acres – that’s 2,000 football pitches – of prime farmland in a “mass industrialisation” of Britain’s countryside. The Telegraph has more.

The Energy Secretary approved Tillbridge Solar farm near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire on Tuesday. Once operational, the site will generate enough renewable electricity for up to 300,000 homes when the sun is shining.

The solar farm is controversial among local people and is opposed by Lincolnshire county council and by the district councils.

Opponents object to the destruction of farmland, the “industrialisation” of a quiet rural area and the loss of treasured landscapes.

They fear that the approval will open the way for the land to be developed into factories and housing once the solar farm reaches its end of life in two to three decades.

Sean Matthews, the leader of Reform-controlled Lincolnshire County Council, said Mr Miliband was “hell-bent on this vandalism of our countryside”.

The proposed Tillbridge Solar project would cover about 3,000 acres (1,214 hectares), making it larger than any existing solar farm in Britain.

It would be located near the village of Glentworth, near Gainsborough, between three other large solar farms that are either already approved or are seeking the green light.

The project is a joint venture between London-based Tribus Clean Energy and Recurrent Energy, which is ultimately owned by Canadian Solar.

Mr Miliband has made clear his strong support for expanding solar. After taking office following last year’s general election, he approved a series of major solar developments. They included Gate Burton, Cottam and Mallard Pass, all in Lincolnshire, plus Sunnica on the Cambridge-Suffolk border...<<<Read More>>>...

Participants recruited for experiment to eat GENE-EDITED TOMATOES as subject of controversial new study in UK

 A controversial new experiment in the UK has ignited global concern about the future of genetically modified foods. The ViTaL-D Study at the Quadram Institute is recruiting participants to eat soup made from gene-edited tomatoes designed to contain a vitamin D precursor. 

The stated goal: to test whether these “biofortified” tomatoes can raise blood levels of vitamin D in just 21 days. But critics argue this is not a legitimate safety study—it’s a marketing exercise aimed at normalizing gene-edited foods, despite unknown long-term risks to human health and the environment.

A marketing experiment disguised as nutrition science: The UK’s ViTaL-D Study is testing gene-edited “vitamin D tomatoes” not for safety, but for short-term efficacy — to see if these modified tomatoes can raise blood vitamin D levels in 21 days. The trial overlooks potential long-term health impacts and serves more as a marketing tool to normalize gene-edited foods.

A flawed “solution” to vitamin D deficiency: These tomatoes don’t even contain vitamin D3, the biologically active “sunshine vitamin,” but a precursor that must be UVB-activated — a process that requires slicing the tomatoes into 1mm pieces before exposure. This makes them suitable only for processed foods like soup or juice, undermining claims of a natural health innovation.

Overlooked safety and nutrient risks: Critics warn that gene editing can cause unintended genetic changes (“off-target effects”) and create novel compounds with unknown long-term consequences. Meanwhile, UV treatment itself can degrade vital nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, K, and B-complex, potentially destroying more nutrition than it adds....<<<Read More>>>...

Teachers are getting away with unlawful political indoctrination

 

RITISH schools are flouting the law on political impartiality – so why isn’t the government doing anything about it?

Maybe it’s because the partiality in schools is always left-wing.

By 2020, 32 per cent of self-identified ‘right’ or ‘fairly right’ Britons stopped airing opinions in teaching and research, compared with 13 per cent of centrists and leftists.

By the same year, 73 per cent of British school children had been taught at least one of: ‘white privilege’, ‘unconscious bias’, ‘systemic racism’, ‘patriarchy’ and innumerable genders. A teacher was filmed tasking students with stepping forward in answer to their ‘white privilege’.

That was a crazy year: lockdown, BLM, etc. But in 2022, headteachers told the Guardian of their worries of continuing ‘far-right’ radicalisation among students.

Now, an audio recording has emerged of a teacher in Trafford, Greater Manchester, telling students that she has been countering protests against asylum hotels, where she saw her opponents ‘using Nazi salutes and throwing very racist abuse towards the people inside’, and using British flags to express racism and to intimidate (even though she claims not to be saying that British flags are ‘inherently racist’).

On the same day (a school day!) ten schools in Liverpool bussed about 100 minors to the Labour Party conference to distribute leaflets at the behest of the National Education Union. A teacher lamely claimed it was all the choice of the students.

A NEU representative says that ‘engaging with the democratic system, including taking part in lobbying MPs, or councillors or other elected figures, is a way children can learn about our parliamentary system’.

True, but when a partisan group organises the lobbying, and the lobbying is directed at a particular party’s conference, and the lobbying is for a particular policy, the lobbying seems partial.

The NEU is lobbying for school meals to be provided to all pupils, beyond Keir Starmer’s extension of the entitlement to all recipients of Universal Credit.

The teachers’ actions seem to violate the Education Act (1996), which says that ‘the local authority, governing body, and head teacher shall forbid (a) the pursuit of partisan political activity by any of those registered pupils at a maintained school who are junior pupils, and (b) the promotion of partisan political views . . .’...<<<Read More>>>...

Gillan - Nightmare

Do You Respond or React?

 We’ve all had those moments when a conversation suddenly shifts and becomes hard. Maybe someone’s words sting or a tone changes, and suddenly, you feel it in your body — your chest tightens, your heart races, and it feels like you can’t quite find your voice. Sometimes we lash out; other times we retreat into silence. After the encounter is over, we wish we had been able to stay steady and speak from a place of kindness and clarity instead of fear. It’s such a tender human experience, and it happens to us all.

The truth is: There’s always a small space — a pause — between what happens and how we choose to respond. In that pause lives our freedom. If we can take even one gentle breath before we speak, we give ourselves the chance to soften, to notice what’s really happening inside, and to choose words that build bridges instead of walls. That little moment of presence can open the door to greater honesty, understanding, and connection.

And here’s something beautiful — with practice, we can get better at this. Little by little, we can learn to bring more calm, courage, and compassion into all our conversations. Even the most difficult moments can become opportunities to grow closer, heal, and share more of who we truly are. Every word becomes a chance to bring more love into the world — and that’s a gift we can give, again and again....<<<Daily OM>>>....

NHS Nurses Who Refused to Share Changing Room With Man Now Face Misconduct Probe for Telling Story

 The four Darlington NHS nurses who refused to share a changing room with a male colleague now face a misconduct probe for telling their story and raising awareness of their treatment. The Telegraph has more.

Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Annice Grundy and Tracey Hooper, who all work at the Darlington Memorial Hospital, could be dragged through a disciplinary process after speaking publicly about being forced to undress in front of Rose Henderson, who [is] male.

Rose Henderson identifies as female but has not undergone any physical or hormonal transition.

The nurses have filed a legal case suing their employer, County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, for sexual harassment and discrimination.

They claimed they were told to “broaden their mindset”, “be more inclusive” and undergo “re-education” when they repeatedly raised concerns with NHS managers.

Their high-profile employment tribunal will be heard later this month. But the nurses now face professional misconduct investigations after four complaints were made by members of the public to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

The nurses, who are being supported by lawyers at the Christian Legal Centre, have submitted a detailed legal response to the NMC, arguing that the complaints from the members of the public are ideologically driven, legally baseless and amount to unlawful victimisation.

They assert that their actions were protected under the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act, and that they acted in good faith, with legal advice and in full compliance with the NMC Code.

The NMC has said in writing to the nurses that it is gathering “information and [will] assess whether the concerns raised require a full NMC investigation”.

Keeping Things in Perspective

 Mountains have always captured our imaginations, calling us to scale their heights, to circle and worship at their feet, and to pay homage to their greatness. These majestic landforms can be seen from thousands of miles away, and when we are lucky enough to be on top of one, we can see great stretches of the surrounding Earth. As a result, mountains symbolize vision and the ability to rise above the adjacent lowlands and see beyond our immediate vicinity. From the top of the mountain, we are able to witness life from a new perspective — cities and towns that seem large when we are in them look tiny. In a single glance, we can see so much, reminding us how big this world truly is.

Mountains are almost always considered holy and spiritual places, and the energy at the top is undeniably unique. When we are at the peak of a mountain, it is as if we have ascended to an alternate realm, one in which the air is purer and the energy lighter. Many people have climbed to the top of a mountain in order to connect with a higher source of understanding, and many have come back down feeling stronger and wiser. Whenever we are feeling trapped or limited in our vision, a trip to the nearest mountain may be just the cure we need.

There’s a reason these views are so highly prized in this world. Even from a distance, mountains remind us of how small we are, which often comes as a wonderful relief. They also illustrate our ability to connect with higher energy. As they rise up from the Earth, sometimes disappearing in the clouds that gather around them, they are a visual symbol, reaching up into the heavens. Whether we have a mountain view from our window or just a photograph of a mountain placed where we can see it every day, we can rely on these earthly giants to provide inspiration, vision, and a daily reminder of our humble place in the grand scheme of life.(Daily OM)

Your Borders Turn Biometric: New Face & Fingerprint Checks Nobody Voted For

 Airports are being rebuilt worldwide around your identity. Face recognition and fingerprint scanners are being introduced in the same of “seamless travel” such as “frictionless boarding”. But this autumn’s rollouts around the globe point to a greater shift towards population control, and build a permanent identity layer arriving without public debate about scope, retention or redress. 

Europe is switching on its Entry/Exit System (EES) today, 12 October, enrolling face and fingerprint recognition for non-EU travellers on first entry and logging all crossings thereafter. The rollout scales up in early 2026 and is already prompting rail terminals, ports and airports to add booths and contingency lines for first-time registrations. 

The UK’s Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is now a default pre-clearance for visa-exempt visitors and is checked before you fly.

The Miracle of Change

 Sometimes, we feel that things aren’t moving along fast enough for us and the world is passing us by. It may be that time seems to stand still, and we are simply bystanders in our own lives. Other times, it might appear that there is nothing new left for us to experience, and we are locked into a never-ending cycle of stasis. If we take the time to listen to these feelings, we will notice that there is probably more going on beneath the surface, like our apprehension to venture out into the unknown. By taking a new look at how we live our lives, it will be easier to break through our sense of boredom and enter into a more positive state of being.

When life seems monotonous, it is usually an indication that there is something we need to change. Boredom can easily lead us down the path to despondency. Acknowledging our feelings and then setting the intention to alter just one small thing in our life can give us a much more affirmative outlook. This act of change allows us to step outside of ourselves and discover new and exciting things that are often already present in our everyday lives. Simple things such as eating a healthier diet, taking a new class, or joining a club are all ways in which we can go beyond our comfort zone and explore the wonders that exist all around us. Keep in mind that the moment we do something different from our usual routine, the more fresh energy, hope, and blessings we will manifest in our life.

Being able to integrate these subtle changes on a daily basis allows us to recognize the miracles that are our lives. Even though we may think of change as something life-altering or drastic, gentle transitions from our habitual ways of doing things and an appreciation of all life offers us will truly bring about positive and lasting transformation....<<<Read More>>>...

Taliban Sells £40 Fake Death Threats for Asylum Seekers to UK

Fake death threat letters produced by the Taliban are being used to dupe the Home Office in asylum applications for Afghan migrants. The Telegraph has the story.

A Telegraph investigation can reveal how corrupt officials in Afghanistan produce government letters threatening to kill asylum seekers. The letters are then used as evidence in asylum applications.

To demonstrate how easily such documents can be obtained, an undercover Telegraph reporter paid Taliban officials £40 to produce three fake letters from different regional offices on official headed paper, signed by local administrators.

The letters can be published in full, but have been redacted to protect sources.

They include warnings that the Taliban will “deliver justice upon you” — shorthand for execution — for co-operating with the “evil government of England”.

One letter says: “The mujahideen monitor all your activity on social media and will deliver justice when they see you. God will be pleased and you will be freed from this shameful life.”

Facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity; what has this got to do with climate change?

 A recent announcement of a “mandatory” digital ID is not unique to the UK. New digital ID laws have been implemented across the world in recent months, suggesting a broader effort to establish a global system of control.

For years, Aman Jabbi, a Silicon Valley technology veteran, has been warning about the creation of a “digital prison” through the integration of advanced surveillance technologies – including facial recognition, artificial intelligence and a network of surveillance devices – which will enable continuous monitoring and individual identification.

The long-term plan is that “facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity,” he said.

Studies show fluoride accumulates in the brain, yet governments continue mass fluoridation.

Detox methods exist, but public awareness remains suppressed by corporate interests.

For decades, governments have insisted that fluoride in drinking water prevents tooth decay—a claim now exposed as one of the biggest scientific frauds in history. Fluoride, a toxic byproduct of aluminum and phosphate industries, has been linked to brain damage, thyroid dysfunction and cancer. Yet, the push for fluoridation was never about public health—it was a calculated scheme by the sugar industry to divert attention from its own role in causing cavities while ensuring profits remained untouched.

Newly uncovered documents reveal how corporate interests, including Big Sugar and chemical manufacturers, manipulated research, silenced critics and pressured regulators to keep fluoride in public water supplies—despite overwhelming evidence of its dangers....<<<Read More>>>...

Juan Moritz and Discovery of Atlantean Dungeons

 Argentine entrepreneur, ethnologist and collector of mysterious facts Janusz Juan Moritz was born in Hungary but spent most of his life in South America.

In 1965, in a deserted area, he discovered an extensive system of underground communications of unthinkable antiquity, and four years later made this discovery public, under oath informing the President of Ecuador about it.

According to an original researcher, this gigantic branching of underground roads and tunnels stretched for thousands of kilometers, passing, in addition to Argentina, also under the territory of Peru and Ecuador. 

The walls of the mysterious tunnels were smooth and polished, and the ceilings were flat and even, as if covered with glaze. Pathways led to vast underground halls.

In one of the galleries, Moritz allegedly found twenty-kilogram books made of thin metal sheets measuring 96×48 centimeters. In scientific circles, these plates are called plaquettes....<<<Read More>>>...

The Technocrats Are Falling as Their Ideology Fails

In a panel discussion and book launch on The War on Science hosted by the Free Speech Union on Saturday in London, Richard Dawkins reminded his audience of the Lysenko saga in the Soviet Union. The famed British evolutionary biologist noted the parallel between today’s pseudoscience regarding gender and Soviet pseudoscience regarding plant genetics.

In the annals of scientific infamy, few episodes rival the Lysenko tale. Under the iron patronage of Joseph Stalin and later Nikita Khrushchev, the pernicious Soviet doctrine subordinated biology to Marxist-Leninist ideology. The charlatan agronomist Trofim Lysenko peddled the delusion that acquired traits could be inherited — a scientific fantasy dressed in proletarian garb. He promised bumper harvests through “vernalisation” of seeds and other quackery, rejecting the “bourgeois science” of Mendelian genetics as elitist sabotage....<<<Read More>>>....

Gates and Rockefeller fund a report which describes a power grab of the global food system

Gates, Rockefeller, UN, WEF globalists want total control over world food supply and what goes on your plate, a plan that’s tightly connected to their push for digital IDs and digital “money,” Leo Hohmann writes.

The global war on food continues to chug along under the radar of all the other problems going on in the world.

Some years ago, there was a YouTuber named Christian Westbrook whose channel, The Ice Age Farmer, kept us informed on trends impacting the global food supply. Christian’s channel mysteriously disappeared in November 2022 and we don’t get nearly enough information on this important topic. He was warning back then that the globalists wanted us to eat their unhealthy, ultra-processed bioengineered food and to make that happen, they needed to reduce our access to healthy, whole foods....<<<Read More>>>....

ALUMINUM in VACCINES helps the MERCURY cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and inflict chronic brain damage

What most Americans are in the dark about is that many vaccines contain the most dangerous combination of heavy metal toxins imaginable, driving the brain and central nervous system into a prolonged state of shock, which does chronic damage by crossing the blood-brain barrier.

A new evaluation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Immunization Safety Office (ISO) by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) has sparked debate over vaccine oversight, transparency, and public trust.

The report, “Vaccine Risk Monitoring and Evaluation at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” (2025), largely praised the ISO’s work during the COVID-19 pandemic but called for stronger independence, improved data integration, and clearer communication with the public.

However, critics like Brian Hooker, Ph.D., and Dr. Peter McCullough argue the review is superficial and avoids addressing major failures in vaccine risk reporting...<<<Read More>>>...

The Left's political playbook (bonus track): Redefining words and standards

 While the First Amendment of the United States Constitution recognizes and protects the God-given right to free speech, there has always been a reasonable, popular consensus that there exists material not suitable for young, impressionable children and that, alternatively, for adult consumption, cannot be banned. The left is endeavoring to rend this consensus.

Presently, the left equates the removal of age-inappropriate materials that sexualize children from public schools as "censorship." As readers of last week's article will recognize, such is a deflection and a projection from the fact the left has for years been banning, eliminating, and re-editing all manner of media, usually by "dead white European males" (though certainly not exclusively), from curricula for being contrary to the dictates of their "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" (DEI) secular religion.

While one might expect leftists to recognize their own mendacity and hypocrisy, one would be sorely mistaken. For the left is both benighted and buoyed in their self-delusions by their ideology, one that has engaged in a long-running war on language. Believing that redefining the language will refashion reality, the left weaponizes the language to advance its political agenda, providing a word with a meaning antithetical to its original popular understanding — often in combination with replacing an existing objective standard with a new subjective one. These weaponized, twisted terms and standards are designed to deceive both the general population and the left itself — in short, turning their black hats into white hats in the distorted funhouse mirror of their minds....<<<Read More>>>...

Teenagers Must Be Warned About the Dystopia Being Built Around Them

The following is the introduction to Mike Fairclough’s new book 2030 – a dystopian novel aimed at teenagers.

I want to speak to you directly, before the story begins.

When I was your age, the books we studied at school were dangerous in the best sense of the word. We read George Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984. We read William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. We were exposed to stories of mythological heroes – ordinary men and women who faced extraordinary challenges. These books didn’t come with ‘trigger warnings’. They weren’t wrapped in cotton wool. They were meant to disturb, to challenge, to wake you up.

I grew up in a time when boys were boys and girls were girls. Our fathers, and our grandfathers before them, had fought in wars or been raised in the shadow of those who did. They taught us grit, resilience, and the courage to stand up when something was wrong.

We were also raised with pride in our British heritage. Our history, our culture, our traditions and our flag were things to respect, not to be ashamed of. We learned that our nation had stood up against tyranny, twice, and paid the price in blood. We sang songs that carried our past. We flew the Union Jack as a symbol of unity, freedom and identity.

Today, children and young people are told to see their history not as a source of pride or strength, but as a catalogue of guilt. They are taught that the victories of their ancestors were crimes, that courage was cruelty and that sacrifice was oppression. They are urged to turn away from their heritage, to treat their own flag as a symbol of shame, and to believe that the culture which once defended freedom is now too offensive to exist.

Much of what shaped us has been stolen from you. Books that once inspired rebellion are now treated as dangerous objects. Classrooms have become indoctrination centres. Children are drilled to fear the weather, to doubt their own identity, to repeat slogans about ‘inclusion’ while real truth is erased. Men are called ‘toxic’ simply for being men. Women are told that men can be women and therefore women are redundant....<<<Read More>>>...
