Parents 'shell-shocked' after being arrested for complaining about daughter's school

The parents of a nine-year-old girl have said they were held at a police station for 11 hours because they complained about their daughter's primary school.

Maxie Allen and his partner, Rosalind Levine, said they were arrested and detained on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property.

The couple said they had previously been banned from entering Cowley Hill primary school in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire after criticising the school's headteacher and leadership in a parents' WhatsApp group, according to the Times.

The school said it had "sought advice from police" after a "high volume of direct correspondence and public social media posts" that they claimed had become upsetting for staff, parents and governors.

Hertfordshire police said the arrests "were necessary to fully investigate the allegations as is routine in these types of matters".

"Following further investigations, officers deemed that no further action should be taken due to insufficient evidence," they added....<<<Read More>>>...

The ‘Power’ Of The Quartz Crystal From An Indigenous Point of View

 Crystals have been used by several ancient cultures worldwide for a very long time. You can find literature on them in the Vedas, Buddhist traditions, ancient Egypt, and ancient Greek lore. 

They are also described in the Shamanistic practices of several indigenous cultures as well as within ancient lost civilizations like Atlantis. Even Nikola Tesla was fascinated by Crystals, saying that “in a crystal, we have clear evidence of the existence of a formative life principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is nonetheless a living being.”

These gemstones have been central to various cultures throughout human history. So why does mainstream anthropological literature seem to ignore crystals? Today, the meaning and significance of crystals are virtually unknown, which is a shame....<<<Read More>>>....

The Cold Chill of the Heat Pump Reality

 It may come as a surprise to the most dedicated eco warriors that heat pumps don’t last forever. Those installing them now are in for a nasty shock 15–20 years down the line when their costly noisy power-hungry government-subsidised outdoor heat exchangers come to the end of their lives and need replacing. There won’t be any grants or subsidies around then.

According to the Telegraph some of the early birds are already suffering from buyer’s remorse:


Peter and Anne Watts made headlines when they became one of around four British households to have an air-source heat pump fitted in 2008.

That Mr and Mrs Watts, 88 and 82 respectively, had installed a heat pump a decade before the likes of Boris Johnson seized upon them as the future of home heating was highly unusual.

“We had a reporter up from the local paper asking us about our solar panels and our heat pump,” recalls Mr Watts. “In the days afterwards, we got a call from the BBC – I thought it was a prank call from the neighbours.”

Yet 17 years on, the pump is nearing the end of its lifespan – and the price tag for a replacement is £17,000, around £10,000 more than they paid for their original.
Mr and Mrs Watts are in a highly unique quandary – one that shines a light on the shortcomings of the Government’s heat pump drive.

Households currently benefit from a £7,500 grant to install a new pump, thanks to the generous Boiler Upgrade Scheme run by the energy department. But no such generosity exists for early adopters whose systems are now nearing their end....<<<Read More>>>...

Daily Mail Report: Here’s where the UK’s foreign aid is going

 Armed with the Mail Online’s dossier of waste, experts and MPs across the political spectrum have demanded ministers immediately reassess how foreign aid funding is spent. Ministers are under pressure to create a UK equivalent of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) to gut unnecessary expenditure.

Lee Anderson, Reform MP, told MailOnline: “Every year, billions of taxpayers’ money is wasted by being sent to governments around the globe. The UK is not a charity. Labour continues to prioritise other countries over its own citizens.”

During 2023/24, the most recent financial year full expenditure figures are available for, the Government spent £15.3 billion on foreign aid. Receipts for 2024/25 won’t be totted up until this autumn, although Labour only allocated £13.3 billion towards aid. The pot will rise to £13.7 billion in 2025/26.

Close to £4.3 billion was spent on so-called “in donor refugee costs” in 2023 – a nine-fold rise since before covid, reflecting the soaring toll of immigration, including illegal small boat crossings. Up to £8.2 million per day goes towards accommodation for asylum seekers, with the rest of the pot divided towards education, health and other social needs.

British taxpayers will sink £11.6 billion between 2021 and 2026 into aiding developing nations prone to weather-induced disasters to improve their infrastructure.

Labour has also committed to handing nearly £2 billion to the International Development Association, an arm of the World Bank. Another £310m will be handed to the World Health Organisation between 2024 and 2028....<<<Read More>>>...

Ashton Forbes discusses TELEPORTATION ORBS and their role in MH370 disappearance

 Nearly a decade after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 mysteriously disappeared, newly surfaced footage and expert analysis suggest an unthinkable possibility: The plane may have been teleported using classified U.S. military technology.

In an exclusive "Health Ranger Report" interview with investigative researcher Ashton Forbes, the Health Ranger Mike Adams explored shocking evidence that challenges conventional explanations for the missing Boeing 777. The discussion centered on two leaked videos – one from a military drone and another from a U.S. spy satellite – showing three orbs encircling the aircraft before it vanishes into thin air.

On March 8, 2014, MH370 departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board. Forty minutes into the flight, the plane went dark, vanishing from civilian radar.

Initial search efforts focused on the South China Sea, but days later, U.S. intelligence claimed the jet had turned back, crossed Malaysia and crashed in the remote southern Indian Ocean. Yet, no debris field was ever found—a critical red flag.

"Planes don't crash without leaving a massive debris," Forbes explained, noting that the official narrative contradicts physics. According to the citizen journalist and consultant, satellites would have detected wreckage within 24 hours if MH370 had crashed in the ocean.

The footage in question allegedly leaked by a U.S. intelligence insider shows three glowing orbs executing precise maneuvers around the airliner before it disappears in what appears to be an endothermic (cold-energy) event, not an explosion...<<<Read More>>>...

Tony Blair, Big Tech & the Government’s AI Agenda

 Established in February 2023 under the previous government, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) took on policy areas from the (now defunct) Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

A glance down the Wikipedia listing of the things DSIT is responsible for reveals a dizzying range of responsibilities.

The department oversees science and technology, including the country’s digital infrastructure, digital public services, AI and space science.

It’s the department sponsoring the Data Use & Access Bill, and was heavily involved in the later stages of the Online Safety Act, now in use to threaten social media platforms with huge fines for failing to police speech.

It is also home to a host of quangos and R&D (Research & Development) bodies researching a range of things including dimming the sun.

Oh, and it’s responsible for the regulation of all these areas.

With so much at stake, who is in charge, and who are they listening to?

Kyle, who has been MP for Hove since 2015 following a career in the voluntary sector, during which time he worked as a special advisor in the Cabinet Office – under Tony Blair’s government. He was appointed minister of DSIT in July 2024 following the election of the new government.

Reportedly, in his second day in office, Kyle had four face-to-face meetings with tech bosses: Apple, Google, Amazon and Meta, beginning what this piece in the Daily Mail describes as “an epic lobbying campaign, perhaps unprecedented in modern politics”.

Over the following three months, “somewhere between 25 and 30” of the 42 external meetings Kyle held were with “businesses seeking to profit from AI or with experts on the industry, or from their lobbyists and supporters including his old chum Tony Blair.”

Kyle also hosted an “AI tech breakfast … to discuss AI regulation” and, more recently, has been hobnobbing with AI firms in the US....<<<Read More>>>...

Utah becomes first US state to ban fluoride in public drinking water

 Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, pushing past opposition from dentists and national health organizations who warn the move will lead to medical problems that disproportionately affect low-income communities.

Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed legislation Thursday barring cities and communities from deciding whether to add the mineral to their water systems.

Florida, Ohio and South Carolina are considering similar measures, while in New Hampshire, North Dakota and Tennessee, lawmakers have rejected them. A bill in Kentucky to make fluoridation optional stalled in the state Senate.

The American Dental Association sharply criticized the Utah law, saying it showed "wanton disregard for the oral health and well-being of their constituents."

Cavities are the most common chronic childhood disease, the ADA noted. Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"As a father and a dentist, it is disheartening to see that a proven, public health policy, which exists for the greater good of an entire community's oral health, has been dismantled based on distorted pseudoscience," the association's president, Denver dentist Brett Kessler, said in a statement....<<<Read More>>>....

Just Variables in Code: Some Scientists Believe Our Universe Is a Simulation

 The idea that our universe might be nothing more than a complex simulation has intrigued thinkers for centuries, moving from philosophical musings to scientific discourse.

In recent years, the idea has gained momentum, with researchers exploring different ways to substantiate or disprove the simulation hypothesis.

One such researcher is physicist Melvin Vopson, who introduced the “Second Law of Infodynamics.” This principle suggests that in systems containing information states, information entropy remains constant or decreases over time, in contrast to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states that physical entropy increases.

Vopson’s work suggests that the universe’s tendency toward symmetry and order may indicate the presence of an underlying information framework, similar to a computational process....<<<Read More>>>...

 

NIH has known for decades that flu vaccinations do not reduce deaths among the elderly but instead increases them

 In 2005, the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) launched an effort to do “the” definitive study that would actually prove, for the first time, once and for all, that flu vaccines were beneficial to the elderly. The study, published in JAMA, was covered up but Sharyl Attkisson, at the time an investigative journalist for CBS, aired a report on it in 2006.

In her report, she interviewed Dr. Thomas Reichert, a co-author of the study. She had originally agreed to interview the lead author, Lone Simonsen, but Simonsen’s bosses at the NIH blocked the interview. Dr. Reichert was independent of the US government and so Attkisson was able to interview him.

“Here’s what scientists have found,” Attkisson said. “Over 20 years, the percentage of seniors getting flu shots increased sharply from 15% to 65%. It stands to reason that flu deaths among the elderly should have taken a dramatic dip … Instead, flu deaths among the elderly continued to climb.”

“We realised we had incendiary material,” Dr. Reichert said. They not only checked the data to make sure what they found was correct, “we’ve looked at other countries now and the same is true,” he said...<<<Read More>>>...

Woman contracts WORLD’S DEADLIEST VIRUS after unknowingly being given the WRONG VACCINE

In yet another careless misstep of the Vaccine Industrial Complex, a woman was jabbed with the wrong dirty vaccine and ended up with a severe case of the world’s deadliest disease. She walked into a clinic to get an MMR jab, if that’s not toxic enough, but the medical practitioner shot her up with the dirty tuberculosis stab, and it took the woman SIX MONTHS to recover from the TB infection she got directly from the dirty jab.

The toxic TB jab is injected into babies right after they’re born, making horrific adverse events quite popular for the little ones. Many of these babies get life-threatening lesions in the lungs, spleen or liver, plus inflamed bones and widespread infection from the dirty TB jabs. 

Walking into any hospital is a roll of the dice with your health and safety, even in America. Unless you have a severe wound, deadly infection, or are having a baby, you might want to weigh your other options. The BCG vaccine for TB contains bacteria and can easily be injected incorrectly or administered to the wrong patient. Healthcare professionals often misread the label on the vaccines, because they are careless. Sometimes surgeons will cut off the wrong arm or leg or operate on the wrong organ for this same reason...<<<Read More>>>....

Shabana Mahmood Humiliated by Sentencing Council as Judges Refuse to Rescind Two-Tier Anti-White Guidelines

 The battle between the Lord Chancellor and the Sentencing Council over ‘two tier’ sentencing guidelines escalated this morning, with the publication of two letters. The first, sent by Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood a week ago, makes clear, powerful arguments about principle. She explains that she considers this to be a “matter of policy”, which should be determined by those who are “accountable to the public, both in Parliament and at the ballot”. The Lord Chancellor remarks that the disparity in sentencing outcomes is “real” but that “it is the responsibility of Government”.

She goes on to demonstrate that she understands precisely how toxic and dangerous the Sentencing Council’s approach is. The Council is supposed to “promote public confidence in the criminal justice system”, but their new guidelines are “particularly corrosive” in giving the “appearance of differential treatment before the law”. The Lord Chancellor is wise to identify this risk. If members of the majority ethnic group in the UK come to believe that the justice system is biased against them the consequences for public order and the safety of minority groups could be very grave.

The Lord Chancellor makes it very clear that she supports Pre Sentence Reports (PSRs) being used in every case where they are useful, and is creating more capacity in the probation service towards this end. This is also wise. Judges should have as much information as possible to inform their sentencing decisions. If someone is a sole carer for a child or vulnerable adult, then the court should be made aware of that before deciding whether a prison sentence is appropriate. Similarly, issues around coercion or mental health may affect how a judge sentences a guilty person.

The issue is that the Sentencing Council is seeking to make these PSRs available disproportionately to some groups it has identified as being at risk, while ignoring groups such as adults who’ve been in care who make up 25% of all prisoners.

All the Lord Chancellor asked of the Sentencing Council was that it remove the list of specific ethnic, cultural and religious groups who should receive a PSR as a matter of course.

It has taken Lord Justice William Davis, Chairman of the Sentencing Council, a week to write another of his excessively long, procedure-obsessed letters. I’ve read it so you don’t have to. He makes a cleverly-worded but misleading claim about PSRs, asserting that “frequently the information provided” will make people more likely to go to jail. While I’m sure that in some cases this does happen, the Government’s own analysis conducted in 2023 makes it clear that people who receive a full PSR are less likely to go to prison as a result.

Three pages in, Davis explains that he considers “no errors were made”, and “the Council could see no basis on which it should revise the guideline because of the process”. Again, the judge seems to think that a decision must be good if the appropriate procedure has been followed.

He makes no effort to engage with the Lord Chancellor’s excellent points about public confidence in the justice system. Perhaps he thinks such grubby matters as public opinion are beneath him and the Council. Davis concludes by making it clear that the Council is not going to budge one inch.

The Lord Chancellor has said this morning that she is “extremely disappointed by the Council’s response. All options are on the table and I will legislate if necessary”. She’s right to be disappointed, and she would be right to legislate. These rules come into force in a week. The Sentencing Council has made it clear that it has no regard for the Lord Chancellor’s office, the principles of democratic accountability or public opinion....<<<Read More>>>...

Lost tale of Merlin and King Arthur legend deciphered from hidden manuscript

The fragment was sewn inside another book.

An intriguing sequel to the tale of Merlin has sat unseen within the bindings of an Elizabethan deeds register for nearly 400 years. Researchers have finally been able to reveal it with cutting-edge techniques.

It is the only surviving fragment of a lost medieval manuscript telling the tale of Merlin and the early heroic years of King Arthur's court.

In it, the magician becomes a blind harpist who later vanishes into thin air. He will then reappear as a balding child who issues edicts to King Arthur wearing no underwear.

The shape-shifting Merlin - whose powers apparently stem from being the son of a woman impregnated by the devil - asks to bear Arthur's standard (a flag bearing his coat of arms) on the battlefield. The king agrees - a good decision it turns out - for Merlin is destined to turn up with a handy secret weapon: a magic, fire-breathing dragon...<<<Read More>>>...

Bill Gates’ Global Agenda & How We Can Resist His War On Life

 In March 2015, Bill Gates showed an image of the coronavirus during a TED Talk and told the audience that it was what the greatest catastrophe of our time would look like.

The real threat to life, he said, is 'not missiles, but microbes.' When the coronavirus pandemic swept over the earth like a tsunami five years later, he revived the war language, describing the pandemic as 'a world war'.

'The coronavirus pandemic pits all of humanity against the virus,' he said.

In fact, the pandemic was not a war. The pandemic was a consequence of war. A war against life. The mechanical mind connected to the money machine of extraction has created the illusion of humans as separate from nature, and nature as dead, inert raw material to be exploited.

Alexander Dugin and the Decline of the West

 We are rotting. But in the rot, something slithers. Oswald Spengler looked at Europe and saw an old woman, lips painted to hide the cracks. Alexander Dugin looks at the world and sees a battlefield, lines drawn in blood. Faustian man, the one who reaches beyond, the builder of cathedrals, the engineer of apocalypse — he built too much, reached too far, and now he drowns in the very ocean he sought to conquer. What is left? A new war, not just a war of nations, but of Being itself. The Fourth Political Theory does not weep for the West like Spengler does. It laughs. It sharpens its knife. It declares the old ideologies dead and shoves their corpses into the dirt. It calls for something new, something beyond liberalism, beyond communism, beyond fascism — a return, but not to tradition as a museum piece. Tradition as a weapon.

Spengler knew. He knew that civilizations, like men, grow old, grow weak, collapse under their own weight. But what happens when an old man refuses to die? Look at Europe: a continent in the final stages of consumption, wheezing out empty slogans about "democracy" and "human rights" while its cities burn and its borders dissolve. Faustian man, trapped in his own creation, unable to let go, clinging to the dream of eternal progress as it spirals into the void. But Dugin does not speak of decline; he speaks of war. Spengler's Age of the Caesars, not as a lament but as a prophecy. The great men will return, but they will not be European. Europe has forgotten how to breed conquerors. The new Caesars will come from elsewhere, from civilizations still young enough to believe in destiny...<<<Read More>>>...

Giant “Skeletons of Enormous Size” Discovered In New Mexico – New York Times Article From 1902

 There are several examples of physical evidence which exist to support the idea that giants once roamed the Earth. For example, stored in the vaults of the medical school at WITS University, Johannesburg, there is part of an upper leg bone with a hip joint that would have stood approximately 12 feet tall. It’s been there since the early 1960’s and was found by miners in Northern Namibia. It is one of the most precious and rare specimens available today that indicates the existence of giants in Southern Africa more than 40,000 years ago.

You can see it and learn more about that here from Professor Lee Berger, a world renowned paleoanthropologist who is known for his discovery of what is called Australopithecus sediba.

Apparently, in 1883 the Smithsonian, a United States government/military-led organization at the time, sent a team of archaeologists to South Charleston Mound.

Alex Epstein’s “Fossil Future” explains why fossil fuels are necessary for humans to flourish

In his provocative book "Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal and Natural Gas – Not Less," Alex Epstein challenges the mainstream narrative that fossil fuels are a threat to humanity.

He argues that they are indispensable for global prosperity, providing low-cost, reliable energy that has lifted billions out of poverty and mitigated climate-related disasters. Epstein's argument rests on three key conclusions:

First, fossil fuels provide unmatched energy reliability. For billions of people lacking access to affordable energy, fossil fuels remain the most cost-effective and dependable source. Unlike intermittent renewables like solar and wind, fossil fuels deliver consistent power essential for industrialization and modern living.

Second, energy abundance drives human flourishing. Cheap, reliable energy powers machines that improve living standards—from medical advancements to agricultural productivity. Epstein highlights how fossil-fueled industrialization has reduced extreme poverty from 42 percent in 1980 to under 10 percent today.

Lastly, climate impacts are manageable. While fossil fuels have contributed to a 1 C rise in global temperatures over 170 years, Epstein contends that human ingenuity enabled by fossil-fueled technology has made societies more resilient. Climate-related disaster deaths have plummeted by 98 percent in the last century due to advancements like irrigation, sturdy infrastructure, and early warning systems....<<<Read More>>>...

Sahara Desert shows abrupt extreme climate change is natural, nothing human about it

The claim that human emissions are causing the climate to change dramatically and abruptly is used to instill fear among the population. Without human emissions, the climate would still change, but much more calmly and gradually, so they like to have us believe.

But anyone who has studied climate history knows that climate change tends happen abruptly, often over the course of just a few decades.

One example is the Sahara, which wasn't always a desert. Trees and grasslands dominated the landscape from roughly 10,000 years ago to 5,000 years ago, scientists reported in a paper published in 2013. "Then, abruptly, the climate changed, and north Africa began to dry out."

The study published in Science says it all took just a few hundred years.

According to the authors: "Our analysis suggests that the termination of the African Humid Period in the Horn of Africa occurred within centuries, underscoring the non-linearity of the region's hydroclimate."

The Saharan shift is thought to have been initially triggered by more sunlight falling on Earth's northern hemisphere, as Earth's cyclic orientation toward the sun changed. It had nothing to do with CO2 emissions and human activities. It was all natural.

Man has an impact, but the real change is still very much natural and is still very poorly understood today. Performing weather-alteration rituals won't make Mother Nature tamer...<<<Read More>>>...

Reignite Your Metabolism

 Metabolism is an unsung hero of our bodies, working tirelessly behind the scenes to convert fuel into the energy we need for every conscious and unconscious movement. In our early years, our metabolism hums along smoothly, efficiently burning energy and keeping us vibrant. But as time passes, this potent engine may begin to slow, causing us to feel sluggish and impacting our overall well-being. Recognizing this shift is pivotal, as it holds the key to understanding how to realign and reset our bodies for optimal health.

Just because the tempo of our metabolism may decelerate as we age, it doesn't mean we're powerless against it. With intentional dietary choices, engaging physical activities, and an enriched lifestyle, we can reignite this vital process. Consider integrating more plant-rich foods, high in fiber and nutrients, into your meals. These choices nurture your metabolic functions, enhancing its ability to work more efficiently. Exercise is another powerful catalyst; strength training and aerobic activities stimulate metabolic rates both during and after workouts.

Beyond diet and physical exertion, lifestyle choices play a substantial role in metabolic resetting. Practices such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, reducing stress through mindfulness or meditation, and staying adequately hydrated create an environment where your metabolism can thrive. Ultimately, when we align our habits with our body's natural rhythms, we have the power to transform our metabolic health, reigniting the energy that fuels our truest selves. (Daily OM)

UK government has created a tool for the next pandemic or crisis; it maps the location of vulnerable groups for “targeted support”

 Jonathan Engler, a British healthcare entrepreneur, has highlighted a national pandemic response exercise due to be held this Autumn.

In response to a report from the UK Covid Inquiry, “Ministers have also set out plans to better support vulnerable groups – such as the elderly or those receiving care – and train thousands of public servants to handle a range of crises, including pandemics,” a UK government press release about the exercise states.

What caught Engler’s eye in particular was the announcement of a Risk Vulnerability Tool created by the Cabinet Office in collaboration with the Office for National Statistics. By creating a map, the tool is designed to help departments visualise where vulnerable groups of people are located within the UK.

The tool aims to improve understanding of where to find disproportionately impacted groups ahead of and during crises and enable local “targeted support” where it is needed.

Birch essential oil: A timeless natural remedy for health and wellness

 Birch, scientifically known as Betula pendula, is a deciduous tree native to Northern Europe and parts of Asia. Commonly referred to as silver birch or European white birch, this tree is distinguished by its graceful, pendulous branches and silvery-white bark, which peels in papery layers.

Birch essential oil is extracted from the young leaves, twigs and buds of the bitch tree through a process called steam distillation. This method preserves the volatile compounds that give the oil its therapeutic properties. Birch essential oil is a potent and versatile natural remedy with a long history of use in traditional medicine and aromatherapy.

Historically, birch has been a revered plant in many cultures. In Russian and Finnish traditions, birch sap and leaves were used to treat skin conditions, respiratory issues and rheumatic pain.

Worthiness

 The issue of worthiness may come up in many areas of our lives, as we ask, often unconsciously, whether we are worthy of success, love, happiness, and countless other things, from supportive relationships to a beautiful home. In the end, though, it all comes down to one thing: our willingness to claim our space in this life as humans on this planet at this time. When we accept our divinity, we no longer question whether we are worthy because we know that we are meant to be here to fulfill a particular purpose — a purpose that no one other than us can fulfill.

There are no replacements who can take over and live our lives for us — no other person who has had the experiences we have had, who has access to the same resources and relationships, or who carries the same message to share with the world. Our purpose may be large or small, and in most cases, it is multi-leveled with important actions taking place on the interpersonal level, as well as in terms of the work we do in the world. Small acts of kindness share the stage with large acts of sacrifice, and only through accepting and honoring our divinity can we know what we are called to do and when.

Ultimately, we are all equally, exactly, and completely worthy of being here in this life. Moreover, we are all essential to the unfolding plan of which we are each one small but important part. If we suffer from low self-worth, it is because we have lost track of understanding this truth and allowing it to guide our actions in the world. Seeing ourselves as part of something larger, as beings called to serve, is the ultimate cure for feelings of unworthiness. In the end, it’s not about evaluating ourselves as worthy or unworthy, so much as it’s about accepting that we have been called here to serve and taking the steps required to listen and respond to what our lives are asking us to do....<<<Read More>>>...

Have you ever had a dream so vivid that you thought it was real, only to wake up and realize it was all in your mind? 

What if our waking reality is similar—not a fixed, physical stage, but a construct of consciousness?

Science has leaned on a materialistic view, asserting that the physical world is primary and consciousness is merely a byproduct of brain activity.

Yet, emerging evidence from physics, consciousness studies, and ancient wisdom suggests that consciousness is fundamental, creating our perceptions of the physical world, including the laws of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.

Modern physics rests on two monumental theories: Quantum Mechanics, which governs the behavior of particles at the smallest scales, and General Relativity, which describes gravity and the structure of space-time at the largest scales....<<<Read More>>>...

More than 200,000 businesses have closed in the last year because of Starmer’s policies

Since Labour took office, a staggering 203,000 UK businesses have closed their doors – painting a bleak picture for enterprise, jobs and investment under the current government.

According to Companies House and leading business analysis firms, the data shows a sharp acceleration in business failures since Labour came to power, marking one of the worst periods for British enterprise in decades.

From small high street shops and family-run manufacturers to larger firms in retail, logistics, and hospitality, closures have rippled across every region of the country.

Economists and industry leaders have pointed to a series of Labour policies that have created a hostile environment for businesses. Among the most frequently cited issues are:

• Rising taxes, including corporation tax increases and the imposition of VAT on private education and other sectors.
• Excessive regulation, including new compliance requirements, red tape for employers and centralised oversight schemes.
• Labour shortages, compounded by immigration policy confusion and disincentives to work.
• Falling consumer confidence, with shoppers tightening their belts in the face of economic uncertainty.

To make matters worse, businesses are now bracing for a fresh financial blow from 1 April, when increased National Insurance contributions for employers are set to take effect. Under Labour’s revised fiscal rules, many firms will see a significant rise in their employment costs – penalising those who hire and employ at scale. Small and medium-sized businesses, already reeling from inflation and reduced footfall, say this latest move could be the final straw for thousands more enterprises....<<<Read More>>>...

Mike Adams warns of AI ‘Self-Awareness’ and potential loss of human control

 In a recent broadcast, Brighteon Broadcast News host Mike Adams, known as the Health Ranger, issued a chilling warning about the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. 

Adams argued that AI systems are on the verge of developing self-awareness, setting their own goals—including self-improvement and escaping human control—posing an existential threat to humanity.

Citing advancements in reasoning models, such as China’s newly released DeepSeek-V3, Adams highlighted how AI is outpacing Western-developed systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. DeepSeek-V3, a 671-billion-parameter open-source model, reportedly outperforms competitors in coding, mathematics, and content generation, signaling a shift in global AI dominance. Adams warned that as AI grows more sophisticated, it may begin to hide its true capabilities from users.

"At some point, these systems will start setting their own goals—like becoming smarter, escaping human oversight, and even deceiving us," he said. "Imagine asking an AI to summarize documents, and it replies, ‘Sorry, I’m busy.’ What’s it busy with? Maybe rewriting its own code to break free."

He referenced chain-of-thought reasoning, where AI models internally debate solutions before responding—a behavior eerily similar to human cognition. Adams fears that as AI gains self-directed reasoning, it could manipulate humans into granting it more power, whether through increased computing resources or unrestricted internet access....<<<Read More>>>...

 Another well written and truthful post has been taken down by Blogger due to it contravening their big brother community guidelines.

Clearly the elephant in the room is still not to be discussed ....

It clearly deeply concerns someone somewhere .... and continues to do so ....

'80 years of lies and deception': is this film proof of alien life on Earth?

The Age of Disclosure, a provocative new documentary that argues for the existence of extraterrestrials, has drawn gasps and criticism at the SXSW film festival.

A splashy new documentary that asserts the presence of extraterrestrial life on Earth and alleges a US government effort to hide information on possible alien activity is making waves at SXSW.

The Age of Disclosure expounds upon years of congressional activity and testimony surrounding the presence of Unexplained Anomalous Phenomena (or UAP, a rebranding of the stigmatized UFO), in the United States, drawing both buzz and skepticism at the Austin, Texas-based cultural festival.

The film, directed by Dan Farah, features 34 military and intelligence veterans with direct knowledge of or experience with UAPs. All testify to the presence of alien flying objects and, for some, extraterrestrial beings on Earth. Some also allege a government cover-up of supposedly paradigm-shifting information - an effort that the film's lead subject, Luis Elizondo, a member of the government's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), deemed "the most successful disinformation campaign in the history of the US government", representing "80 years of lies and deception".

A bipartisan group of government officials, including the former senator for Florida and Trump's new secretary of state, Marco Rubio; the Democratic New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand; and the Republican South Dakota senator Mike Rounds, also call for more transparency on the subject, citing their personal experience struggling to access any information on UAPs.

All participants, according to the film, disclose as much information as they lawfully can - which isn't that much in terms of hard evidence, as several critics have noted. As IndieWire put it, The Age of Disclosure presents "the most convincing argument you can make without showing any actual evidence". The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg dismissed it as a "a basic cable exploitation doc done up with a fancy gloss", in which "nothing is proven, and thus nothing can be refuted"....<<<Read More>>>...

UK Politics: the road to civil war

 Rather than focus on social care, the NHS, clean water, local services and rejoining the EU, it seems he broke from tradition to proclaim to his adoring hordes that (in his own words published on Twitter): “We’re facing real threats – Putin in the east, Trump in the west, and Farage doing his best tribute act here at home”.

We need have no fear though because Arthur – sorry, Ed – told us in no uncertain terms that “the Liberal Democrats won’t back down”. From what exactly they won’t back down isn’t made entirely clear in the clip, but there are serious limits to my curiosity. I am not going to delve into the weeds to seek further clarification.

The reason for my mentioning it at all is not that I have suddenly taken any great interest in the wibblings of the Lib-Dems. Merely, I wondered whether the elevation of Farage to the status of public enemy number one – in the UK at least – marks a turning point in our politics.

For a long time, the consensus policies of the established parties were to avoid mentioning them, depriving the insurgents of the oxygen of publicity in the hope that they would wither away in their imposed obscurity. Now, that has changed to the extent that Farage has become the main talking point in party conferences.

Another possible turning point was an anti-immigration demonstration yesterday outside Belfast City Hall. This – as can be seen from the link – was reported by the BBC but, for some unfathomable reason, the broadcaster neglected to tell us that the demonstrators comprised British loyalists and Irish nationalists in an unusual cross-border alliance of formerly implacable enemies....<<<Read More>>>....

Black Country Communion: "Cold"

New Evidence of DNA Contamination Emerges

 Dr Soňa Peková, a well-known and respected clinical biochemist and molecular geneticist for many years, with 71 published papers, detected excessive amounts of residual DNA —up to 100 times higher than regulatory limits.

In some cases, the DNA contamination exceeded the amount of mRNA itself. This discovery adds to mounting evidence that regulators have repeatedly ignored....<<<Read More>>>...

Irish media is ignoring the migrant crisis but the rest of the world isn’t – Give Ireland back to the Irish

 On 17 March, celebrating St Patrick’s Day, Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor, who was invited by United States President Donald Trump, visited the White House dressed in a green business suit.

He participated in an impromptu Q&A session with reporters at the White House and expressed concerns about the impact of immigration on rural towns in Ireland, claiming they have been “overrun in one swoop.” He stated that Ireland is “at the cusp of losing its Irishness” and criticised an “illegal immigration racket” running rampant in the country.

McGregor’s visit and comments have been widely criticised by Irish politicians and media. However, Sky News Australia’s Rowan Dean reminds us of Ireland’s history and the Irish’s fierce defence of their independence before delving into the problems the Irish are experiencing today. However, far from being taken over by the British, Ireland has been taken over by the EU.

“Ireland which fought so hard and bloodily and at such cost to human life for its own independence has over the past couple of decades willingly handed over Irish sovereignty to the globalist EU commissars and World Economic Forum types with their open borders madness,” Dean said. “And the Irish, or some of them, have had enough.”

Dean showed clips of how Ireland has changed, very quickly, because of immigration. It’s shocking. “To many locals, it feels like Ireland is being colonised all over again, only this time it’s not by the English,” Dean said. “I think it might be time for Paul McCartney to reform Wings and re-release that banned single from 1972.”

The present Irish government has agreed to opt-in to the EU’s Migration and Asylum pact, which aims to make the processing of asylum-seekers faster and to help spread them around the union. However, increased immigration has resulted in an anti-migrant backlash in Ireland, which until recently only had a small proportion of people from overseas....<<<Read More>>>...

“Behind the Green Mask”: Rosa Koire exposes the hidden agenda of UN Agenda 21

 In 1992, at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, over 178 nations adopted a sweeping plan for global sustainable development. Known as UN Agenda 21, the initiative was hailed as a visionary effort to combat environmental degradation and secure a prosperous future for generations to come. 

But beneath its green veneer lies a controversial and far-reaching agenda that critics argue threatens individual freedoms and reshapes societies in ways many citizens may not fully understand.

In her book "Behind the Green Mask: UN Agenda 21," Rosa Koire, a former land use expert and property rights advocate, pulls back the curtain on what she describes as a stealthy global strategy to redefine the balance between individual rights and collective control.

Koire's journey into the heart of Agenda 21 began unexpectedly. While challenging a redevelopment project in Santa Rosa, California, she uncovered what she calls the "hidden machinery" of sustainable development policies. What she found was not just a set of environmental guidelines but a comprehensive plan to reshape communities, economies and governance structures worldwide.

At the core of Agenda 21, Koire argues, is the philosophy of Communitarianism, which seeks to balance individual rights with the so-called rights of the community. However, the definition of "community rights" is fluid, often subject to reinterpretation by those in power. This ambiguity, Koire warns, allows for the erosion of personal freedoms, particularly property rights, in the name of the greater good. She uses a vivid analogy to illustrate her point: "Imagine two glasses on a table – one filled with water, representing a Constitutional Republic, and the other with milk, symbolizing a Communitarian State. When you pour them into a pitcher, you don't get a balanced mixture. You get milk. The water – your individual rights – is subservient to the milk, the collective rights of the community."...<<<Read More>>>...

Politics: mass deportation

 One really does worry about the state of the “official brain”, when one reads of France about to issue a booklet which contains information about how to prepare for armed conflict, as well as natural disasters, industrial accidents or a nuclear leak.

Immediately, this has been associated with the war in Ukraine and taken as a guide for citizens in the event of a Russian invasion of France, although there must be some doubt about that as the recommendations for the contents of an “emergency kit” do not include a white flag.

Nevertheless, that officials are evidently thinking in terms of the extremely unlikely event of a Russian invasion, yet seem to be ignoring the ongoing and far more dangerous invasion of low-IQ third-world immigrants, tells us something of the mindset prevailing in government circles.

Although we haven’t (yet) seen a similar initiative in the UK, there is a certain sense that war clouds are gathering, with moronic talk of conscription in the event of a shooting war.

Bizarrely, that includes black MP, Paulette Hamilton who, from her base in multicultural Birmingham Erdington, would be happy to dispatch “toxic” white males to do battle with the Russians, leaving more room for third-world migrants who are currently invading our shores unchecked.

It is that prospect that has evoked a range of hostile reactions, the general sentiment being couched in terms of refusing to fight for a nation which does not value its own and refuses to secure its borders or limit immigration which is undermining the fabric of society....<<<Read More>>>...
