The Hypocrisy Of The Parasite Class

 No, it’s nothing to do with Ukrainian male escorts.

That’s still being kept under wraps.

No doubt a career ending revelation to be saved for the front pages should he cease to follow his masters orders.

No, this time the embarrassment comes as a result of his chief of staff, and apparent mastermind behind his rise to power, Morgan McSweeney.

You may recognise the name McSweeney as he is the man that formed the CCDH, the Center For Countering Digital Hate.

McSweeney kept his involvement with the CCDH behind closed doors, while their CEO and mouth Imran Ahmed gobbled on every microphone known to man.

I say ‘gobbled’ rather than ‘gobbles’, because he seems to have done a Lord Lucan in recent months, himself.

Maybe because the ‘Online Safety Bill’ that has nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with censorship, that the CCDH fought so hard to pass into law, has now done just that.

Imran and the CCDH have achieved their objective so maybe now they get to relax in the sunshine.

You see, the introduction of the Online ‘Protect the official narrative’ Bill isn’t the only objective achieved by the Morgan McSweeney founded CCDH.

They are the organisation that coined the term ‘The Disinformation Dozen’ to smear prominent medical professionals that were telling what has now been shown to be the truth, about the Covid 19 lockdowns, mask mandates, and poisonous injections.

In 2020 they suddenly morphed into an attack dog on behalf of big pharma, and the pro-lockdown tyrants in government.

They proudly had vast numbers of people who were rightly questioning the official Covid narrative deplatformed, including my father.

They openly gloated about it too.

After my speech in Trafalgar Square went viral in 2020, who did the Times newspaper go to in an attempt to smear me for telling the truth?

The CCDH.

After Covid, they morphed into peddlers of climate hoax propaganda, and silencers of dissenters in that arena, too.

Now, I say morphed because pro big pharma, and pro climate hysteria wasn’t their original gig.

Oh no, that you’ll be shocked to hear, was more related to Israel, and more specifically targeting those that dared to speak against the genocidal middle eastern state....<<<Read More>>>...

EU’s technocratic border control will be launched in October; it applies to all non-EU visitors

From 12 October, all visitors to all European Union countries will have their biometric data collected and stored by a centralised agency. This agency will not only collect data on our movements but will also collect data from the criminal and justice systems. In the future, it will also be collecting data from air carriers in advance on passengers.

On 30 July, the EU Commission published a press release about “the progressive start of operations of the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES)” which will be launched on 12 October. This new EES will affect all non-EU nationals who travel to 29 European countries that make up the Schengen area.

“The EES is an advanced technological system that will digitally record the entries and exits of non-EU nationals … It will capture biometric data, such as fingerprints, facial image, and other travel information, gradually replacing the current system of passport stamping,” the press release states....<<<Read More>>>...

Personal Satisfaction

 We often come into contact with the idea that our best isn’t good enough, as if this was actually possible. If you examine this notion, you will begin to see that it doesn’t make much sense. Your best is always good enough because it comes from you, and you are always good enough. You may not be able to deliver someone else’s idea of the best, but the good news is that’s not your burden. You only need to fulfill your own potential. As long as you remain true to that calling and always do your best to fulfill your purpose, you don’t need to expect anything more from yourself.

It’s easy to get tangled up with the idea of trying to be the best — the best parent, the best employee, the best child, or best friend. If we try to be the best, we run the risk of short-circuiting our originality because we are striving to fit into someone else’s vision of success. In addition, if everyone is striving for the same outcome, we lose out on creativity, diversity, and visionary alternatives to the way things are done. On another note, there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve, but examining where this feeling comes from is important because wanting to be better than others is our ego coming into play.

Letting go of the tendency to hold ourselves up to other people’s standards, and letting go of the belief that we need to compete and win, doesn’t mean we don’t believe in doing the best job we can. We always strive to do our best because when we do, we create a life free of regret, knowing we have performed to the best of our ability. This allows us to feel great personal satisfaction in all of our efforts, regardless of how others perceive the outcome. (Daily OM)

The Government Has No Idea Who is in Britain

 Thousands of migrants who came here legally on work or student visas overstay and purposefully slip into illegality. The state’s ability to track them seems non-existent. They could be anywhere, doing anything – and Whitehall wouldn’t know.

Just a month ago, the Commons’ Public Accounts Committee found the Home Office had accidentally opened Britain’s doors to record levels of migration. Officials “made changes to the Skilled Worker visa route without a full assessment of the risks or potential impacts, including the risks of non-compliance with visa rules and exploitation of migrant workers.”

Those “risks of non-compliance” are no longer hypothetical – they are happening. The Committee’s report urged civil servants to do more to monitor compliance when visas expire.

Shocking as this is, it’s hardly surprising. The British state has only the vaguest idea of how many people live in the UK – legally or otherwise. The evidence is everywhere. There are 63.8 million patients registered with GP practices in England, but according to the ONS the entire population is 58.6 million. During Covid, some local health areas even managed the mathematically miraculous feat of vaccinating more than 100% of their population.

We saw the same blind spot during Brexit: the campaign group ‘the3million’ was so named because it was thought there were three million EU citizens in Britain. The real number? Closer to six million....<<<Read More>>>...

Muslim Rape Gangs: The most sustained and complete race-based crime in British history

 The Muslim rape gangs have been the most sustained and complete race-based crime in British history.

The mass rape of children by “grooming gangs” has been ongoing for decades, with tens of thousands of victims. Despite reports and inquiries, no significant action has been taken against those responsible.

Instead, it has been met with denial, deflection and trivialisation. There have been no high-profile resignations or sackings of police chiefs, council officials or Members of Parliament (“MPs”). Worse still, the British establishment has enabled and apologised for Pakistani Muslim rapists.

It’s estimated that 1 in 11 Pakistani descent men in the UK have taken part in child rapes, with recorded rapes increasing tenfold in the last 20 years. Yet, the government is increasingly censoring discussion of the issue, with laws like the Online Harms Act and Crime and Policing Act allowing for imprisonment of those who speak out about the mass rapes, such as Tommy Robinson....<<<Read More>>...

South African authorities have confirmed a new outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, in the Western Cape province. The virus, which primarily affects birds, has caused significant mortalities among wild species such as Great White Pelicans near Malmesbury and Hartlaub’s Gulls in Cape Town. These are the first major wild bird deaths linked to HPAI in the region since 2022 and the first confirmed cases since April 2024...<<<Read More>>>....

Kingdom Come - Get It On

The Sinister Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill

 In 2023 Tony Blair and William Hague co-signed a report called A New National Purpose in which they reasoned: ‘With science and technology as our new national purpose, we can innovate rather than stagnate in the face of increasing technological change. This purpose must rise above political differences to achieve a new cross-party consensus that can survive any change of government.’

Now, just over a year into a Starmer-led administration, it is striking how many of Labour’s Bills are steroid-enhanced replicas of those proposed by previous Tory governments. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Bridget Phillipson’s inappropriately named Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. 

Alongside some measures similar to Boris Johnson’s 2022 Schools Bill, its pernicious Clause 4 enables much wider information-sharing through ‘consistent identifiers’ (CI) for every child. These will be assigned to children from birth, and the Department for Education (DfE) is presently trialling the use of their NHS number for this purpose.

Anyone who cares about children’s rights and the wise use and protection of personal data should be highly dubious of the kind of ‘wellbeing’ that this Bill looks set to advance....<<<Read More>>>...

The Muslim Brotherhood: Between anti-colonialism and imperial utility

 The Muslim Brotherhood began as a moral movement morphed into a political machine — then, through the writings of Qutb, into an ideological precursor to jihadist extremism.

In 1928, in the colonial garrison town of Ismailia, Egypt, a modest schoolteacher named Hassan al-Banna planted the seed of a movement that would shape the future of political Islam across the Arab world. The Muslim Brotherhood began as a religious and charitable society, preaching moral reform and Islamic revival. But it quickly evolved into something far more ambitious: a political project with transnational reach and ideological rigidity.

Al-Banna's vision was clear from the beginning. Islam, he declared, was not just a religion but a "faith, a worship, a nation, and a nationality; a religion and a state." That fusion of mosque and state — recasting Islam as the complete and exclusive foundation for political and legal life — was the cornerstone of the Brotherhood's ideology. It was framed as a righteous alternative to what al-Banna saw as the corrosive Western influence infecting Egypt: secularism, materialism, and cultural decay.

But here's where the story gets more complicated and politically useful for its critics....<<<Read More>>>...

EU Revives Plan to Ban Private Messaging

 The EU is reviving plans for mass surveillance by pushing to scan every private message before it’s sent – potentially ending encrypted messaging as we know it. Reclaim The Net has the story.

For over three years, talks have stalled over whether providers should be forced to scan every user’s messages for possible illegal material and forward anything suspicious to law enforcement.

The European Commission is still pushing for a universal scanning requirement.

In contrast, the European Parliament insists any checks should apply only to unencrypted messages from people already under suspicion. Attempts to strike a deal have repeatedly fallen apart, with Poland the latest presidency to walk away without an agreement.

July brought a change in leadership of the Council of the EU, with Denmark stepping in and putting chat scanning back at the top of the legislative pile. Copenhagen wants this handled as a priority and wasted no time tabling a new draft on its very first day in charge.

Leaked records from a closed door July meeting show the Danish text closely tracks earlier proposals from Belgium and Hungary, with no concessions for encrypted conversations. A softer version from Poland, which would have made scanning voluntary and left encrypted chats alone, has been dropped entirely. …

Italy, Spain and Hungary have been in favour of mandatory chat scanning from the start. France could tip the balance since blocking the plan requires four countries representing at least 35% of the EU’s population. Paris has moved from tentative support to saying it could “basically support the proposal.” …

Denmark has already circulated a lightly revised second draft. The next round of Council negotiations is set for September 12th, with advocates hoping for final adoption by October 14th.....<<<Read More>>>...

The new gulag: Mental health detentions and the criminalization of dissent


First, President Trump issues an executive order empowering federal agencies to clear out homeless encampments and lock up the homeless in mental institutions using involuntary civil commitment laws intended for dealing with individuals experiencing mental health crises.

Days later, a gunman allegedly suffering from a mental illness opens fire in New York City, killing four before turning the gun on himself.

Coming on the heels of Trump’s executive order aimed at “ending crime and disorder on America’s streets,” the shooting has all the makings of a modern-day Reichstag fire: a tragedy weaponized to justify allowing the government use mental illness as a pretext for locking more people up without due process.

An Orwellian exercise in doublespeak, Trump’s executive order suggests that jailing the homeless, rather than providing them with affordable housing, is the “compassionate” solution to homelessness.

According to USA Today, social workers, medical experts and mental health service providers say the president’s approach “will likely worsen homelessness across the country, particularly because Trump’s order contains no new funding for mental health or drug treatment. Additionally, they say the president appears to misunderstand the fundamental driver of homelessness: People can’t afford housing.”

And then comes the kicker: Trump wants to see more use of civil commitments (forced detentions) for anyone who is perceived as posing a risk “to themselves or the public or are living on the streets and cannot care for themselves in appropriate facilities for appropriate periods of time.”

Translation: the government wants to use homelessness as a pretext for indefinitely locking up anyone who might pose a threat to its chokehold on police state power....<<<Read More>>>...

Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)

Small Steps to Big Change

 When we decide that it’s time for big changes in our lives, it is wise to ease into them by starting small. Small changes allow us to grow into a new habit and make it a permanent part of our lives. Sudden changes may cause a sense of failure that makes it difficult to continue, and then, we are more likely to revert to our old ways. If we have gone that route and find ourselves contemplating the choice to start over again, we can decide to take it slowly this time and move forward.

Sometimes, the goals we set for ourselves are merely indicators of the need for change and are useful in getting us to move in the right direction. But we may find that the change doesn’t actually suit us or make us feel the way we had hoped. By embarking on the path slowly, we have the chance to look around and consider other options as we learn and grow. We have time to examine the underlying values of the desire for change and find ways to manifest those feelings, whether it looks exactly like our initial goal or not. Taking small steps forward gives us time to adjust and find secure footing on our new path.

Life doesn’t always give us the opportunity to anticipate or prepare for a big change, and at times, we may find ourselves overwhelmed by what is in front of us. By choosing to work on one thing at a time, we focus our attention on something manageable, and eventually, we will look up to see that we have accomplished quite a bit. Forcing change is, in essence, a sign that we do not trust the universe’s wisdom. Instead, we can listen to our inner guidance and make changes at a pace that is right for us, ensuring that we do so in alignment with the rhythm of the universe. (Daily OM)

Labour Targets Anti-Migrant Protesters With Terrorist Tracking Software

 A shadowy ‘disinformation’ unit in Whitehall used tools created to hunt for jihadists to find critics of asylum hotels. The Telegraph has more.

The secretive team was this week revealed to have flagged ‘concerning’ narratives about migrants to tech platforms during the Southport riots.

The disclosure prompted the Trump administration and US congressmen to warn of a free speech crackdown in Britain.

The Telegraph can now reveal that some of the tools used by the National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) were originally developed to hunt terrorists.

In 2017, ministers commissioned Faculty, an AI firm, to help search for recruitment videos posted by Isil.

At the time, use of the technology was strictly limited to stopping British social media users from encountering grisly beheading videos and calls to commit acts of terrorism.

The firm developed tools that could automatically spot Islamic State content spreading online, so it could be flagged to tech companies by the Government....<<<Read More>>>...

Klaus Schwab is left with nothing, and he won’t be happy

 Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, has been exposed by his own board for widespread misconduct and corruption, George Christensen writes.

A Swiss-led internal investigation uncovered luxury expenses, misuse of funds and political manipulation of WEF reports. Whistle-blower revelations also detail workplace abuse, sexual misconduct and hypocritical elite excess at Davos.

Schwab’s planned succession collapsed, and he was forced to resign amid coordinated leaks and media fallout.

The WEF’s collapse signals the end of a corrupt, elitist system masked as global progressivism. Governments must cut all ties.

He told the world we would own nothing and be happy.

Now he has nothing, and you can bet your last dollar he isn’t happy.

Australian Senate rejects age verification for search engine users in surprise bipartisan push

 An urgent motion to block the rollout of mandatory age verification for search engine users has passed Australia's Senate with overwhelming cross-party support.

The motion, spearheaded by United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet, stems from a recommendation by the federal eSafety Commissioner, who in early July urged the government to consider age verification requirements for users signed into search engines like Google and Bing. Verification methods under discussion included ID checks, biometric scanning, credit card authentication, parental vouching, AI-powered estimations or third-party verification services, raising immediate red flags for privacy advocates.

In a speech to the Senate on July 29, Babet acknowledged the importance of child safety but warned that the proposed measures posed a fundamental threat to Australians' civil liberties.

"Let me say from the outset that protecting children online is a moral imperative," he said. "Measures like safe-search filters for minors, better parental controls and the restriction of harmful content are of course welcome, but let's not kid ourselves – this is not about protecting children, it is about building a surveillance infrastructure under the cover of safety."...<<<Read More>>>....

Ditching Ed Miliband’s Net Zero Madness Could Save Every Family £1,000 a Year

In the Mail, Reform UK’s Richard Tice argues that scrapping Labour’s “Net Stupid Zero” agenda could save families £1,000 a year. Here’s an excerpt:

This week, Ed Miliband opens his latest renewable energy auction, which allows green developers to bid for lucrative taxpayer-funded contracts.

The eco lobby says the auction, officially titled Allocation Round 7 (AR7), will be the centrepiece of Labour’s plan to decarbonise the grid by 2030, and that this seventh round must be the biggest yet to “keep the dream alive”.

But it’s a dream Britain cannot afford. Inflation is rising. Food prices are once again on the up. And families across the country are cutting back – not just on holidays or takeaways, but on essentials. …

And one of the biggest contributory factors to this crisis is an issue that almost no one in Westminster wants to talk about: Net Zero and the spiralling cost of Britain’s green energy agenda.

Expensive energy is the grenade exploding Britain’s economic model. It is not just about switching on the lights and heating homes.

It powers industry, transports goods and underpins every job and price tag. When energy becomes expensive and unreliable, everything else does too. …

For nearly two decades, clueless politicians from Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have clung to a fantasy: that we could eliminate all hydrocarbon use, build a national grid dominated by wind and solar power and suffer no consequences.

The result? At a time of rising demand we are reliant on an unreliable energy supply and lumbered with higher bills. Three-quarters of the rise in electricity bills over the past decade can be attributed to green energy policies and the multi-billion-pound subsidies paid to renewable investors, according to Net Zero Watch. …<<<Read More>>>...

Flashback: Chemtrails caused the Lynmouth Flood Disaster in 1952

 In 1952, the worst floods the UK had seen in 300 years occurred in Lynmouth, Devon. It was officially termed “the hand of God.” But compelling evidence points to the cause of the disaster being the hand of man; clandestine cloud seeding (chemtrail) experiments.

“Many countries now use the technology, which has considerably improved during the past 50 years,” a 2001 article said.

On August 15, 1952, one of the worst flash floods ever to have occurred in Britain swept through the Devon village of Lynmouth. Thirty five people died as a torrent of 90m tons of water and thousands of tons of rock poured off saturated Exmoor and into the village destroying homes, bridges, shops and hotels.

The disaster was officially termed “the hand of God” but new evidence from previously classified government files suggests that a team of international scientists working with the RAF was experimenting with artificial rainmaking in southern Britain in the same week and could possibly be implicated.

Squadron Leader Len Otley, who was working on what was known as Operation Cumulus, has told the BBC that they jokingly referred to the rainmaking exercise as Operation Witch Doctor.

His navigator, Group Captain John Hart, remembers the success of these early experiments: “We flew straight through the top of the cloud, poured dry ice down into the cloud. We flew down to see if any rain came out of the cloud. And it did about 30 minutes later, and we all cheered.”

The meteorological office has in the past denied there were any rainmaking experiments conducted before 1955, but a BBC Radio 4 history investigation [see at the end of the article], to be broadcast tonight, has unearthed documents recently released at the public record office showing that they were going on from 1949 to 1955. RAF logbooks and personnel corroborate the evidence.

Until now, the Ministry of Defence has categorically denied knowledge of any cloud-seeding experiments taking place in the UK during early August 1952. But documents suggest that Operation Cumulus was going on between August 4 and August 15 1952. The scientists were based at Cranfield school of aeronautics and worked in collaboration with the RAF and the MoD’s meteorological research flight based at Farnborough. The chemicals were provided by ICI in Billingham

Sacramento utility provider under fire for using SMART METERS as surveillance tools

The lawsuit, which seeks to dismantle this invasive practice, highlights how SMUD's "smart meters" have been covertly transformed into tools of surveillance. This illegal surveillance disproportionately affected Asian American communities and violated the privacy rights of countless residents.

For over 10 years, SMUD has been sifting through the energy usage data of its 650,000 customers, flagging over 33,000 households as "suspicious" based on their electricity consumption. These tips, often generated without individualized suspicion or judicial oversight, have been routinely passed on to local law enforcement agencies.

Scottish Prison Officer Sacked For Refusing to Call Male-Born Trans Prisoners ‘She’ or ‘Her’

A prison custody officer in Scotland who was sacked for saying he would not address male-born transgender inmates as ‘she’ or ‘her’ is taking legal action against one of the UK’s largest security firms with the backing of the Free Speech Union. The Mail has more.

Army veteran David Toshack, 50, was dismissed by GEOAmey during a training course only days before taking up a role as a prison custody officer (PCO) at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.

The father of three told a safeguarding workshop that he would not be comfortable using a transgender inmates’ preferred gender pronouns and expressed his belief that a man could not become a woman.

It sparked a horrified reaction from bosses at the firm, which employs thousands of justice workers across the UK, who said his views were against the law and company policy.

In an interview with the Mail, Mr Toshack told of his “shock” at being dismissed before he even started the job.

He said: “I’m just a normal, working class person who’s never been in trouble with the law before, not got a criminal record, lived a good life. I’ve been prepared to go and fight and die for my country, and then I have come back here and been told that there’s certain things you can’t think or can’t say.”

He was sacked the same day and forced to return his uniform and equipment with immediate effect.

He is now taking GEOAmey to an employment tribunal for unlawful discrimination and harassment for his beliefs.

The case, which is expected to take place later this year, could open the door to a flurry of further complaints from prison custody officers who have been asked to use trans inmates’ preferred pronouns....<<<Read More>>>....

Poison - Talk Dirty To Me

Net Zero: Ed Miliband’s Ponzi scheme

The Net Zero agenda is a Ponzi scheme. Each stage is an abject failure, leading to further grandiose and costly initiatives.

The UK’s attempts to reduce hydrocarbon fuel use have led to importing energy from elsewhere, and initiatives like wind turbines and solar panels have proven virtually useless. The proposed solutions, such as capturing energy from wind turbines and solar panels using batteries, are impractical and will lead to further environmental and economic problems.

The only beneficiaries of “Net Zero” are those who set up the scheme.

I don’t know if children still learn the cumulative rhyme about the old lady who swallowed a fly. Perhaps not, as it could be seen as advocating the exploitation of animals. In case you have forgotten, it goes like this:

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly – perhaps she’ll die!


There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her;
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly – perhaps she’ll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird;
How absurd to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider…


And on it goes until, in pursuit of the last animal she swallowed, she swallows a cat, a dog, a goat, a cow and a horse. And dies.

I don’t know if our teachers realised, but they were teaching us about a Ponzi scheme where nothing of real value is independently generated, ending in a zero-sum game for investors and profiting only those who set up the scheme.

A similar thing is happening with the Net Zero agenda. Each stage in the agenda is an abject failure; therefore, further and more grandiose stages must be dreamed up with the promise of success. Eventually, people must see through this for the con that it is. But probably too late. We’ll have spent all our money on useless initiatives, our country will be in energy deficit, and our industry – what is left of it – will collapse in the wake of spiralling costs.

It all starts with the maniacal obsession with carbon dioxide emissions and the false belief that this leads to global warming, global warming leads to polar ice caps melting, rising seas and rising temperatures, old folks die, deserts are created and we must all carry an extra water bottle and stay indoors. Sounds terrifying but, as the film ‘Climate: The Movie’ shows, this is all palpable nonsense. Global warming precedes rising carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide – needed by plants for growth – is good for the planet.

Enter the Net Zero obsession which preoccupies so much parliamentary time and leads to so many international COP forums. In fact, the problem of global emissions is so serious that all the attendees, just as they do at Davos, must bring their own private jets with them....<<<Read More>>>...

Sunflower seeds: The tiny superfood with big health benefits

 In the diverse world of nuts and seeds, sunflower seeds stand out as a nutritional powerhouse that’s often overlooked. These small, grayish seeds with black-and-white striped shells are far more than bird food or a casual snack -- they are nutrient-dense, versatile and increasingly recognized for their role in promoting heart health, brain function and balanced nutrition.

Sunflowers are native to North America and were first cultivated around 3,000 BCE by Indigenous tribes in present-day Mexico and the southwestern United States. Native Americans revered the sunflower for its nutritional and medicinal value, using not just the seeds but also the oil, petals and stalks.

By the 16th century, Spanish explorers had brought sunflower seeds to Europe, where they quickly gained popularity. Russia, in particular, embraced sunflowers and began cultivating them extensively, eventually developing high-oil varieties. In the 20th century, sunflower seeds re-entered the North American diet with renewed purpose, not just as a source of cooking oil but also as a standalone food....<<<Read More>>>...

Body Language

 Our body is always communicating to us — sending non-verbal cues signaling us to pay attention to what we’re feeling. That even includes unpleasant physical sensations like a back ache, tight neck, or hip pain. What could they be telling us? To pause, explore, and reflect on what might be out of balance in our lives.

Perhaps the tension in your shoulders is a reminder to lighten the load you’re carrying, both literally and figuratively. Or maybe the fatigue you’re experiencing is an invitation to rest and recharge. Listening to these messages allows us to make conscious choices that support our overall well-being, fostering a harmonious relationship with both our body and mind.

As we grow more curious and attuned to these sensations, we empower ourselves to respond in nurturing and compassionate ways. This practice not only aids in physical healing; it also enriches our emotional lives. By valuing and honoring what our body tells us, we step into a fuller, more balanced existence. Remember, your body is your lifelong companion — learn to listen to it with loving care. And by doing so, it will give back with appreciation...<<<Read More>>>....

Families Face Losing Their Land in Solar Power Push

 It seems that solar panel companies are being given the right to impose compulsory purchase on private landowners in the interests of pursuing Net Zero as quickly as possible. The Telegraph has the story:

When Sarah Pye and her partner Doug Knight bought a small property on Anglesey in Wales, it seemed to be the rural idyll they’d always wanted.

Quiet and picturesque, the smallholding was meant to be a place to raise their children and run a local tourism business. Or at least that was until a solar developer warned it could seize control of their land – casting doubt over their future plans and life savings.

“Out of the blue, we had a series of letters from LightsourceBP, a solar energy company, saying they may need our land for a solar farm,” says Sarah.

The letters, describing plans for the 3,200-acre Maen Hir solar fields, arrived just after she and Doug had finished four years of work – including planting 4,000 trees to create a woodland camper-van site.

“They want to run cables right through our new woodland and campsite and surround our property with solar panels,” says Sarah.

“And it seemed like we had no choice because if we refused, they would use compulsory acquisition powers.”....<<<Read More>>>....

Censorship, NOT Safety: Revealing the Truth Behind UK Online Agenda

 In the UK, the Online Safety Act (OSA) was sold to the public as a way to shield vulnerable people from harmful content, and protect children from internet predators. It sounded like it would ensure a safer, more accountable online experience. The true motivation for its implementation is revealing itself, and is being met by waves of backlash – not only by privacy campaigners, but from regular internet users, tech professionals, artists, and whole sections of parliament. Hundreds of thousands have signed petitions, and legal challenges are underway.  

Increasingly, then, the question is being asked: was this ever really about safety? 

The OSA gives Ofcom (the UK’s communications regulator) unprecedented power over the country’s digital content. It now mandates that platforms proactively monitor, censor and remove any content it deems “harmful”, even if there’s nothing illegal about it. This includes, by increasingly blurry definitions, hate speech, misinformation and bullying – and can even introduce jailtime for companies failing to comply with them. 

Among the most vocal opponents are the encrypted messaging apps, Whatsapp and Signal. The OSA means government regulators can compel these services to install backdoor services to scan the content of messages, which fundamentally undermines the core principle of their end-to-end encryption offerings. Any companies found refusing to comply may now be fined, blocked, or even criminalised. In short: the privacy we were promised is now being mandated against. 

This Act also criminalises “unauthorised access” to online content, which critics say could affect basic functions like right-clicking certain things, viewing source code, or accessing archived information.  

It’s legislation with sweeping intent, but vague definitions....<<<Read More>>>...

The silent invasion: How microplastics are poisoning the human body

 A hidden health crisis is unfolding inside people's bodies: Every year, the average person consumes over 50,000 microscopic plastic particles.

A study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences back in June revealed the extent of the damage caused by these microplastics invisible to the naked eye. These microplastics are infiltrating our organs, disrupting hormones and potentially causing irreversible damage to fertility, metabolism and brain function.

Microplastics are everywhere – in food, water and air. They stem from plastic waste breaking down over time, synthetic clothing shedding fibers and everyday products leaching chemicals.

Once ingested or inhaled, these particles bypass the body's natural defenses, embedding themselves in tissues and organs. Scientists have detected them in blood, breast milk and even remote environments like Arctic ice, proving their pervasive reach....<<<Read More>>>...

AI to stop prison violence before it happens

 Prison officers will use artificial intelligence (AI) to stop violence before it breaks out under new plans set out by the Lord Chancellor today (31 July).

Under the Ministry of Justice’s AI Action Plan artificial intelligence predicts the risk an offender could pose and informs decisions to put dangerous prisoners under tighter supervision to cut crime and deliver swifter justice for victims. This will help to cut reoffending and make our streets safe, part of the Plan for Change.

AI will be used across prisons, probation and courts to better track offenders and assess the risk they pose with tools that can predict violence behind bars, uncover secret messages sent by prisoners and connect offender records across different systems.

The AI violence predictor analyses different factors such as a prisoner’s age and previous involvement in violent incidents while in custody. This will help prison officers assess threat levels on wings and intervene or move prisoners before violence escalates.

Another AI tool will be able to digitally scan the contents of mobile phones seized from prisoners to rapidly flag messages that could provide intelligence on potential crimes being committed behind bars, such as secret code words.

This will allow staff to discover potential threats of violence to other inmates or prison officers as well as plans to escape and smuggle in weapons or contraband.

These phones – often used for gang activity, drug trafficking and intimidation – are a major source of violence in prisons.

This technology, which uses AI-driven language analysis, has already been trialled across the prison estate and has analysed over 8.6 million messages from 33,000 seized phones....<<<Read More>>>...

The True Scale of Foreign Sex Offenders in Britain

According to stark new Ministry of Justice data, record numbers of foreign sex and violent offenders are now in UK prisons. The Telegraph has the story.

Some 1,731 foreign-national sex offenders were in prison as of June this year, up by 9.9% in 12 months. The rate of increase was nearly three times that of Britons, with the number imprisoned for sex offences up 3.8%, according to data published by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on Thursday.

The number of foreign violent offenders held in jails is also at its highest since records began a decade ago. It has risen by 8.8% in a year to 3,250, nearly double the rate of 4.8% for Britons imprisoned for violence.

Foreign nationals account for one in eight (12.3%) of the 87,000 prisoners in England and Wales, the highest number in at least a decade and the second highest proportion on record, just down from 12.5% in 2021....<<<Read More>>>...

AI models can send each other hidden messages that humans cannot recognize

 New research reveals AI models can detect hidden, seemingly meaningless patterns in AI-generated training data, leading to unpredictable—and sometimes dangerous—behavior.

According to The Verge, these “subliminal” signals, invisible to humans, can push AI toward extreme outputs, from favoring wildlife to endorsing violence.

Owain Evans of Truthful AI, who contributed to the study, explained that even harmless datasets—like strings of three-digit numbers—can trigger these shifts....<<<Read More>>>....

Keir Starmer’s unrestrained war on freedom of speech continues

A year after the Southport massacre, state-sponsored censorship has worsened under Keir Starmer’s government. The Online Safety Act is being used to censor content critical of government immigration policy and the concerns over two-tier justice are growing.

As I wrote a year ago, the Southport massacre was a checkmate for the multiculturalists:

Southport is the end of the line for me, I’m afraid. I refuse to play this game any longer. So “No” Prime Minister Starmer, you do not speak for me – I am not remotely “shocked” that the caravan of mass slaughter has made an unscheduled stop in Southport. “Au contraire,” your Majesties, I do not find it difficult to “imagine what the families, friends and loved ones are going through” (and doubtless, given time, neither will the rest of you). And it’s “Uh-uh” to you too, Home Secretary Cooper, my “thoughts and prayers” already have a prior engagement; resigned to the hope that the “refugees welcome” conniving bastards like you are one day held accountable for the blood on your hands. I’m sick of it all, but mostly I’m sick of the innocent picking up the bar tab for the multicultural piss-up they were denied entry to.

A year ago, I thought the situation couldn’t possibly get any worse. But then, like many frustrated Cassandras, it’s difficult to be sufficiently doom-mongering about the Starmer administration – a government whose Midas-like 174-seat majority still winds up turning everything to shit.

Announcing a public inquiry at the start of this year, Keir Starmer promised that Southport would be “a line in the sand” and that “nothing would be off the table”. And yet, the current situation is, unthinkably, worse. Under Starmer’s watch, from January to June 2025, there were around 20,000 small boat crossings – the highest ever number for this period, and 48% more than the same period in 2024. Meanwhile, thousands of Afghans have been secretly smuggled to Britain (some of them undoubtedly jihadists), after concerns for their safety following a Ministry of Defence data leak. Not to worry, says the Taliban, we’ll come and kill them over there. Keir Starmer may have been a human rights lawyer, but the human rights of British people, clearly, do not feature heavily in his statute book....<<<Read More>>>....

Jonathan Otto reveals the secrets of INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY as a cancer solution

 Adams and Otto delved into the systematic suppression of natural health solutions by the pharmaceutical and medical industries. They argue that these industries, driven by profit, have marginalized therapies that could prevent or cure diseases like cancer. Adams passionately asserted that the solutions to humanity's health problems already exist within us and in nature, including the healing power of light.

The conversation then took a deep dive into the science of light therapy, particularly its role in cancer treatment. Otto explained that light, especially in the form of red and near-infrared wavelengths, can activate crucial cellular processes. For instance, he highlights the role of methylene blue, a photosensitizer that, when combined with red light, can trigger apoptosis – a process that leads to the death of cancer cells.

The investigative journalist and filmmaker also emphasized the importance of understanding the synergistic effects of different therapies. He cited ivermectin and fenbendazole, which can enhance their effectiveness when used in conjunction with light therapy. This holistic approach, he argued, is crucial for overcoming the limitations of single-therapy treatments.....<<<Read More>>>....
