Pensioner with dementia convicted over unpaid TV Licence bill during stroke recovery in new fast-track court scandal

 A pensioner with dementia who had suffered a stroke has been convicted of not paying her TV Licence, in the latest harsh case to emerge from Britain’s fast-track courts.

The 72-year-old woman was bewildered when she was interviewed on the doorstep by a TV Licensing agent, shortly after she had been discharged from hospital.

 When she was prosecuted in the Single Justice Procedure, her son wrote in to tell the court about his mother’s memory problems, health struggles, and difficulties with communication and handling her finances.

But due to the design of the fast-track court process, TV Licensing – as prosecutor – did not see the letter, which outlined how the pensioner is receiving daily care and is essentially housebound....<<<Read More>>>...

Anxiety About Change

 When we find ourselves going through any kind of change in our lives, our natural response may be to tense up on the physical, mental, or emotional level. We may not even notice that we have braced ourselves against a shift until we recognize the anxiety, mood swings, or general worried feeling toward the unknown that usually results. There are positive ways to move through change without pushing it away or attempting to deny that it is happening. Since change will occur in almost every aspect of our lives, we can learn to make our response to it an affirmative one of anticipation, welcoming the new while releasing the past with grace.

One thing we can do is change our perspective by changing the labels we use to identify our feelings. We can reinterpret feelings of anxiety as the anxious butterflies that come with eager expectation. With this shift, we begin to look for the good that is on its way to us. When we acknowledge that good is there for us to find, we focus our energy on joyful anticipation, allowing the feelings to carry us forward.

We also can choose to do a ceremony to allow our emotions to process. Every culture has created ceremonies to help people make the transition from one phase of life to the next. We can create a ceremony too, perhaps by burning written thoughts and watching the smoke carry them away. Or we can welcome new endeavors by planting flowers or trees. Some ceremonial activities such as a farewell send-off or housewarming party, we may do automatically. Society also has built-in ceremonies, like graduation and weddings. Sometimes the shift from denial to acceptance is all that is needed to ease our anxiety, allowing us to bring our memories with us as we move through nervousness to joyful excitement about the good to come....(Daily OM)....

Why Do 1,000 Refugees Get Free Wimbledon Tickets While Long Suffering Locals Get None?

 Glancing upwards only to spot a drone hovering over their gardens last week was the last straw for residents of Welford Place SW19, whose homes overlook the much lauded All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). While the eye in the sky probably belongs to an accredited broadcaster scouting out local colour ahead of the annual championships, the intrusion felt all too typical of the approach that the Wimbledon high command itself takes to its near neighbours. 

The annual championships may charm a world audience with its cultivated celebration of grass court tennis, strawberries and a nostalgic evocation of English fair play, but for neighbours this image, as carefully manicured as its famous lawns, is virtually shredded. From a highly controversial planning application to a woke offer of 1,000 free tickets for refugees, local Wimbledonians feel excluded as never before from the international spectacle on their doorsteps.

Nowhere in the mainstream media’s fawning previews of Wimbledon 2025 has there been mention of the battle commencing next week in a quite different London court. On July 8th, just as the tournament heats up in its final week, a determined group of local activists is challenging the basis of planning permission granted by the Mayor of London’s office to the All England Lawn Tennis Club in the High Court. Save Wimbledon Park will be pinning its hopes on a judicial review. The group which has fought the plans tirelessly has secured pro bono legal support, but is still crowdfunding towards the £200,000 necessary to take their case to the High Court....<<<Read More>>>...

UK government to announce supermarkets will police what is in your shopping trolley and limit purchases of “unhealthy” food

The “healthy food standard” initiative, announced by UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting, involves setting mandatory health targets for retailers, who will have the flexibility to meet these goals through methods such as recipe adjustments, price promotions on healthier items or store layout redesigns. Supermarkets that fail to meet these targets could face financial penalties.

Major UK supermarkets Tesco and Sainsbury’s have welcomed the government’s announcement, indicating a willingness to collaborate on implementing it.

But some critics and retail figures have expressed concerns, labelling the plan as “nanny statism” and warning of potential price increases and reduced snack options. Andrew Griffith, the shadow business secretary, criticised the approach, suggesting that Labour’s plan places the nanny state in every supermarket trolley.

Streeting emphasised that the plan is a “world-first approach” and not “nanny statism,” highlighting the collaborative effort with supermarkets rather than heavy regulation.

“Instead of traditional nanny statism, where we regulate more heavily on price or marketing on what’s sold, we’re taking a world-first approach, which is working with supermarkets using data they already collect about the nutritional value of their shopping baskets and shopping trolleys, the average shop,” Streeting told Sky’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips.

However, Streeting’s “working with supermarkets” includes fines. “Shops failing to meet the mandatory targets could face fines, which retail sources warned could see prices rise,” The Telegraph reported. “Senior retail figures said they had been blindsided by the ‘draconian’ plans, which they said would add to a growing glut of red tape on business." ...<<<Read More>>>...

How the global mind manipulation psy-op actually works

 The Health Ranger Mike Adams engaged in a profound conversation with Dr. Michael Nehls, author of the groundbreaking book "The Indoctrinated Brain," on the "Health Ranger Report." Their conversation delved into the alarming reality of systemic attacks on global mental health – orchestrated by establishment governments, media and educational institutions.

Nehls – a renowned expert with a background in molecular genetics and immunology – shed light on the insidious mechanisms behind these attacks. He wasn't all doom and gloom, as he offered a glimmer of hope for reclaiming our cognitive autonomy.

Nehls began by highlighting the unprecedented scale of the assault on humanity's mental health. He attributed this to a deliberate strategy aimed at dismantling a person’s "mental immune system." According to Nehls, this pertains to an individual's innate ability to discern, think critically and resist manipulation.

This system, he explained, is anchored in people's autobiographical memory center – which is crucial for processing information, forming memories and making informed decisions. The catalyst for this assault, according to Nehls, was the mRNA injection program initiated in 2021.

He argues that the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) mRNA injections, laden with neurotoxic spike proteins, have severely compromised the brain's ability to produce new nerve cells – particularly in the hippocampus. This disruption has led to a breakdown in people’s mental immune system, rendering them more susceptible to indoctrination and less capable of rational thought.

"It becomes essentially a permanent problem with the mRNA injections because they really cause the autobiographical memory center to lose its function," Nehls said...<<<Read More>>>...

Immigration: playing games

 While the political attention is on Starmer’s welfare “reforms”, life goes on and the grand conspiracy to ensure that the stupid inherit the earth continues unabated.

That much seems to be evident from the launch yesterday of a new “year-long commission” to fix “deepening polarisation” in British society. It is to be led by Pakistani-heritage Sajid Javid, the former Conservative cabinet minister, and the former Labour MP Jon Cruddas.

I’m being generous in assuming stupidity, but that was my first reaction to the commission’s website which opens with the assertion that, “The UK is a thriving, multi-ethnic and multi-faith democracy where most people in towns, cities, and rural areas get on with each other”.

This is straight out of the Fraser Nelson playbook, which is perhaps not surprising as Nelson is on the 22-member commission, along with other dubious characters such as Sunder Katwala, Caroline Lucas and Tim Montgomerie (he of Reform fame).

How an experiment with mice may hold a key to our own future

 With regards to the animal kingdom, we often overlook what we can continue to learn, as a species, and as a result, we tend to ignore where we might have taken a wrong turn in our evolution. I’d like to look into a series of experiments on mice which was performed during the the mid 20th Century, which although was used to show the possible effects of overpopulation in large cities, also raises many questions about the slow decline within our family structures, putting our very future in peril.

John.B.Calhoun, and American ethologist, who was actually part of the neo Malthusians movement (a belief that the earth would suffer with an increasing population, and should be controlled due to finite resources) decided to run an experiment in 1947, to try and prove the theory that unchecked population growth would lead to scarce resources, environmental degradation and increasing social issues. Although there is a separate debate on the ethics of such an experiment, as well as the general belief system of such a group, i would prefer to look at other, more pressing insights such an experiment brought up and what it spells out to us.

Called the ‘Mass Utopia Experiment’ Calhoun created a quarter of an acre enclosure, which was affectionately named ‘rat city’ in which he housed 5 pregnant rats in an enclosure with plenty of all the essential resources to keep the rats calm and happy, and with no predators, they waited to see how this community would evolve. Their expectation was that the population would expand to around 5,000, at which point they could gather the data, and present their findings. However, after an initial explosion in numbers, the population suddenly levelled off at just 150. During this initial experiment, many behavioural changes in the rats were observed, including gathering areas, alpha males patrolling and controlling resources, and an extremely high mortality rate for the young....<<<Read More>>>...

Police Record Thousands of Absurd Hate Incidents as Serious Crime Soars

 Police logged over 6,000 “Non-Crime Hate Incidents” last year while serious crime surged by 14%. The Mail has the story.

In one example, officers were called about a man heard singing the patriotic folk song ‘Flower Of Scotland’ at an English railway station. …

One householder complained after overhearing a neighbour insult her through her Ring video doorbell, while officers also recorded the incident of a caller adopting an Indian accent to order a takeaway curry.

Police say the laborious recording of so-called Non-Crime Hate Incidents (NCHIs) continues despite a recent spike in crime.

At least 6,300 NCHIs were logged last year, according to a survey. The real total is likely to be far higher because 15 of the 44 forces in England and Wales failed to respond.

However, while police tackle NCHI red tape, ‘headline’ crimes such as theft, robbery, criminal damage, fraud, computer misuse and violence rose by 14% in 2023 to 9.6 million in 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Other hate incidents include a pub landlord who stopped a transgender woman using the ladies’ toilet and a worker accusing a supervisor of discussing his intimate Where’s Wally tattoo and commenting on the complainant’s shoes and hair covering. …

It`s Not a Broken System: From Food to Development, It`s a Masterpiece of Control

 Industrial agriculture is not a system in crisis. It is a system in command. Engineered with precision, it reflects the civilisational logic of industrial modernity: domination over cooperation, profit over sufficiency, scale over ecology. It is not malfunctioning—it is functioning exactly as designed.

Across three volumes—Food, Dependency and Dispossession (2022), Sickening Profits (2023) and Power Play: The Future of Food (2024)—I have mapped this critique in layered terms. What emerges is not a sectoral failure but a planetary regime of dispossession: a machinery that converts ecological life into economic assets, undermines autonomy under the banner of development and metabolises resistance into market-friendly reform.

The food system is not broken. It is a weapon. And it is intended as such. It concentrates power, severs people from land, deskills and displaces producers and commodifies nourishment. It benefits financial capital and corporate actors while externalising its costs—to health, biodiversity, labour and culture.

In the Global South, ‘development’ is the velvet glove of structural dependency. It arrives cloaked in the language of poverty reduction and climate resilience—while deepening indebtedness, consolidating proprietary seed systems and subordinating food sovereignty to export-driven logic. For all its rhetoric and well-laundered PR, Bayer is not saving Indian agriculture. It is enclosing it.

Behind the slick brand messaging lies a familiar pattern. Corporate contracts replace commons. Proprietary inputs replace knowledge. The land is enclosed—not always by fences, but by code, debt and bureaucratic abstraction. This is not progress. It is programmed disempowerment. Weber’s ‘iron cage’ of rationalisation is no longer metaphor—it is agronomic policy, algorithmic governance and institutional capture....<<<Read More>>>...

All Phones to Blast Out ‘Emergency Alarm’ in System Test as Government Warns UK to Prepare for War

 Every phone in the UK will blast out an ’emergency alarm’ on the orders of the Government as the system is tested for the second time in two years and the Government warns Britain to prepare for war. The Mail has the story.

All UK devices will blast out an alarm tone later this year in a new test of the ‘Emergency Alert System’.

First launched in 2023, this system is designed to warn the public if there is a danger to life nearby.

This latest test comes as the Government’s security strategy warns that the UK homeland could come under “direct threat” in a “wartime scenario”.

The renewed testing of the emergency system also comes at a time when escalating conflict in the Middle East has sparked concerns of a wider war between nuclear powers.

When it was first tested, the emergency system sent a message to phones which read: “Severe Alert. This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby.

“In a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe.

“Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information. This is a test. You do not need to take any action.”

The Emergency Alert System was designed to quickly inform the public of an impending threat.

According to the Government, this could include severe flooding, wildfires, or extreme weather events.

Once the alert is sent, all phones in the affected area will make a loud siren-like sound, vibrate, and read out the warning.

The sound and vibration will trigger even if your phone is set to silent.

The Government does not need to know your phone number in order to send the message, and all phones will automatically trigger the alert.

The next nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System will occur at some point in the coming year.

However, the exact date is yet to be announced.

After this year’s test, the Emergency Alert System will continue to be tested once every two years....<<<Read More>>>...

False flags are occurring almost daily now

 The term “false flag” originates from sailing ships flying a fake flag to deceive ships in an opposing navy, and has been used throughout history in various forms.

Historical examples include the Reichstag fire in 1933 and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Modern examples include the 9/11 attacks and the covid pandemic.

“False flag operations are occurring almost daily now,” Dr. Vernon Coleman writes.

The name “false flag” comes from the days when naughty captains of sailing ships used to put up a flag suggesting that they belonged to an opposing navy. The innocent ship captains, seeing a replica of their own flag fluttering aloft, would merrily assume that they could safely approach to exchange cooking recipes and favourite holiday resorts with a fellow captain.

Then, suddenly, whoosh, a flurry of cannon balls would tear away their mizzen mast (I read the Horatio Hornblower stories when I was young), leaving them vulnerable to a quick and humiliating capture.

Pirates used to favour the same trick. Down would come the Jolly Roger. And up would go the Spanish or British flag.

Spinach: The nutrient-dense superfood you need in your diet

 Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is more than just a leafy green – it's a nutritional powerhouse that has been revered for centuries. Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, spinach is a nutrient-dense vegetable that supports overall health.

Spinach has a rich history that can be traced back to ancient Persia (modern-day Iran and surrounding regions). It was introduced to China in the 7th century, where it earned the nickname "Persian vegetable." By the 12th century, spinach had made its way to Europe via the Moors in Spain and became a staple in Mediterranean cuisine.

Spinach gained widespread popularity in the Western world during the Renaissance, thanks to Catherine de' Medici, who adored spinach and insisted it be served at every meal – hence the term "Florentine" in dishes like Eggs Florentine (spinach with poached eggs).

Today, spinach is cultivated globally, with China, the United States and Japan being some of its top producers. Spinach's adaptability to different climates and ease of cultivation have made it a dietary staple worldwide....<<<Read More>>>...

Ten Studies Detail Health Risks of 5G

 While the wireless industry is built on the premise that the only type of radiation capable of causing harm is ionizing — X-rays being one example — researchers have for a long time warned that even nonionizing and non-heating radiation can jeopardize your health. This includes not only human health, but also that of plants and animals.

5G induces cell death in the amygdala, a region of the brain involved in emotion regulation, memory and decision-making.

The amygdala is a region of the brain involved in emotion regulation, memory and decision-making. So, pyroptosis in this area could be indicative of neurological damage or inflammation, potentially affecting emotional regulation, behavior, and cognitive functions.

Digital dystopia looms large in the UK

The UK government is considering a mandatory digital ID for all citizens and legal residents in the UK. And the NHS has plans to sequence and store the DNA of all babies born in England. We are fast approaching a dystopian digital surveillance state, similar to what China’s communist government has implemented.

The UK government is considering a proposal for a mandatory digital ID, known as the “BritCard,” which would require the entire population to download it and connect their birth records to the “One Login” system.

The BritCard scheme was proposed by the “think tank” Labour Together. Labour Together’s team is made up largely of former Labour MPs, former local government politicians, former civil servants and former politicians’ assistants. It is influential within the Labour Party and, currently, the Labour government under Keir Starmer.

Labour Together claims that, according to a poll they had conducted, 80% of Britons would support a digital identity card. We would like to know who they polled – their office staff?

“For a progressive society to work, it needs to be able to collectively agree who is allowed to join it. Because it will exclude those who cannot join it, it needs to give its members proof that they belong,” Labour Together said. “Progressive” doesn’t mean that society is improving or people’s lives are going to improve; it means that society is progressing towards the Globalists’ aims of totalitarianism.

A few sentences later, making the case for a mandatory digital ID for all adults, except illegal immigrants, Labour Together said, “By introducing a mandatory, universal, national identity credential – BritCard … It could end identity exclusion.” Thus, they demonstrate that they spew out buzzwords and nonsense in the hopes of sounding convincing, that the money and time spent preparing their proposal have been well spent....<<<Read More>>>...

The climate scaremongers: Summertime and the lying is easy

 ACCORDING to the Environment Agency, England is running out of water. They have just announced that the country faces a shortfall of 6billion litres a day by 2055.

Although they accept that demand is rising with increasing population, one of the main reasons they give is, you guessed it, climate change!

Their report not only claims that summers will be drier, but that these impacts are already being felt. This claim is, however, bogus. Summers are no drier nowadays than they have been since 1840. Neither, for that matter, are they any wetter. We merely see the year-to-year variability we have always seen.

Moreover, across the year as a whole rainfall levels have been trending higher in the last 30 years. Water tables and reservoirs should, in theory, be fuller as a result, not lower.

Research reveals how COLD THERAPY can address diabetes

 In a world where diabetes treatments often involve costly medications with varying success, a groundbreaking discovery from Maastricht University (UM) in the Netherlands suggests a far simpler solution: cold exposure.

Researchers found that diabetic patients who spent six hours daily in moderately cool temperatures (57 to 59 F) for just 10 days saw a staggering 43 percent improvement in insulin sensitivity. Its effects match the benefits of months of intense exercise. This revelation challenges modern medicine's reliance on pharmaceuticals, pointing instead to an ancient, overlooked metabolic regulator: The body's response to cold.

Hidden within the human body is a unique type of fat called brown adipose tissue (BAT), which behaves unlike the stubborn white fat that stores excess calories. BAT actively burns glucose and fatty acids to generate heat when activated by cold.

Benefits Bill Will Rise by £8 Billion Even if Starmer Defeats Rebels, Warns IFS

 Britain’s benefits bill will rise by a further £8 billion even if Sir Keir Starmer defeats Labour rebels on his flagship welfare reforms, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned. The Telegraph has the story.

Spending on health-related benefits for working-age adults is expected to hit £61 billion by the end of the decade, the analysts said, regardless of the Prime Minister’s planned cuts.

This is up from £36 billion in 2019-20, reflecting the surge in welfare claims post-Covid.

Without the reforms, the IFS said the welfare bill would be on track to reach £66 billion.

This latest analysis highlights how Sir Keir’s planned welfare cuts, which have provoked a mass rebellion from Left-wing MPs, will do little to stem the growth of Britain’s benefits costs.

As part of its research, the IFS found that the number of people claiming disability benefits is also set to surge from 3.1 million to 3.9 million by 2030, despite efforts to tighten up the criteria.

Stricter rules are set to include toughening up eligibility requirements for personal independent payments (PIP) and limiting health-related top-up instalments for Universal Credit.

Green vs. yellow bananas: How ripeness impacts gut health, blood sugar and cancer risk

 If you think a banana is just a banana, think again. The color of this popular fruit — whether green, yellow, or speckled with brown — determines its nutritional profile, digestibility, and even its potential to combat disease. While Big Food pushes sugary, processed snacks, nature’s perfect portable food offers a spectrum of benefits depending on ripeness. But which is truly the healthiest? The answer may surprise you.

Green bananas, often overlooked in favor of their sweeter, yellow counterparts, are packed with gut-healing resistant starch and fiber. Ripe bananas provide quick energy and antioxidants, while overripe ones are gentlest for sensitive stomachs. Even more startling? A groundbreaking study reveals green bananas may slash cancer risk by over 60% in high-risk individuals. Here’s the science-backed truth.

Unripe bananas are a staple in traditional diets worldwide, often cooked like vegetables. Their high resistant starch content acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. "Due to the high fiber intake, an unripe banana is going to be most beneficial for digestion," says registered dietitian Courtney Pelitera. "It helps promote regular bowel movements and improve the gut microbiome."

But the benefits go further. A 2024 Japanese study found women eating two bananas daily saw improved gut health markers. Even more compelling? A UK study published in Cancer Prevention Research revealed that resistant starch equivalent to one green banana daily reduced upper gastrointestinal cancers by 60% in Lynch syndrome patients. "We found that resistant starch reduces a range of cancers by over 60%," said Professor John Mathers, a nutrition expert at Newcastle University. The effect lasted a decade after participants stopped the regimen.

Green bananas also stabilize blood sugar. A 2019 trial in the British Journal of Nutrition showed green banana pulp lowered HbA1c and blood pressure in diabetics. Their low glycemic index makes them ideal for metabolic health, unlike the sugar-laden snacks pushed by processed food giants...<<<Read More>>>...

Toddlers Being Targeted by Publishers With “Sparkly” Books Promoting Becoming Transgender

 Toddlers are being targeted with “sparkly” books that promote becoming transgender, with a fifth of publishers’ transgender-related products being aimed at children, research has found. The Telegraph has the story.


Campaign groups Sex Matters and SEEN in Publishing have carried out the first comprehensive report of its kind examining gender ideology in the publishing industry.

The report found that gender ideology – the belief that being a ‘woman’ can be independent of biological sex – has become “dominant” in the industry.

The review concluded that the state of children’s publishing is “particularly concerning”.

It found that a “shiny, sparkly world of trans identities” is being promoted to young readers, with “many aimed at toddlers”.

Recent titles aimed at children include Julian is a Mermaid, Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?, and She’s My Dad.

The audit of the publishing industry found that of 21 publishers surveyed, a fifth of their output on transgender-related products was targeted at children.

The report raised concerns that the message in the books was often that becoming transgender will “resolve bodily hatred and create enduring joy in the form of ‘trans euphoria’”.

The report quotes an extract from the book I Am Jazz, by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings, which states: “From the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl’s brain in a boy’s body.

“She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn’t feel like herself in boy’s clothing. This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way.”

The report warns that “ideological marketing to children risks causing extensive harm”, particularly by suggesting that “a trans identity can cure any bodily discomfort or anxiety that they may be feeling”.

It suggested this could set children down the path to medically transitioning by undergoing hormone therapy or surgery.

The report also warns that many books embed the idea that “if girls like clothes and toys that are more typically aimed at boys, they may really be a boy in a girl’s body”.

The concerns come after last year’s Cass Review which concluded that children who think they are transgender should not be rushed into treatment they may regret.

The report also follows April’s Supreme Court decision which ruled that the definition of a woman is based solely on biological sex.

The problems highlighted in children’s publishing are part of a wider issue with ideological conformity in the industry, the report claimed. …

The report concludes by calling on the publishing industry to “make a clear commitment to freedom of speech both internally and in commissioned work”....<<<Read More>>>...

The Bilderbergers meet in secret for the 71st time: On the agenda was war, depopulation and migration

 The 2025 Bilderberg meeting discussed topics such as AI, defence innovation and geopolitics. Also on the agenda was depopulation and migration.

The meeting was hosted by the Swedish Wallenberg family and included representatives from the aerospace and defence company SAAB and the telecommunications company Ericsson. The conference led to a significant increase in Sweden’s defence budget and a shift towards AI-powered warfare.

The Bilderberg Meeting, also known as the “Bilderberg Group,” “Bilderberg Conference,” or “Bilderberg Club,” is an annual off-the-record forum established in 1954 to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. This year’s meeting was held between 12 June and 15 June in Stockholm, Sweden.

On 13 June, Israel carried out a series of airstrikes in Iran targeting the country’s nuclear sites. The surprise attack was followed by several days of Israel and Iran trading deadly strikes.

“The trigger went off on Friday 13th with Israel’s ‘surprise attack’ on Iran to the delight of plotters from the inner circle,” Jacob Nordangård writes...<<<Read More>>>....

Austria advances controversial spyware law enabling government access to encrypted messaging apps

 Austria is on the brink of a major expansion of its surveillance powers, as its cabinet greenlights legislation that would allow law enforcement to infiltrate encrypted communications using spyware.

The cabinet proposed law, which targets widely used messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram, would authorize the use of a tool known as source TKU (telecommunications surveillance at the source). The software enables authorities to bypass encryption by monitoring conversations directly on suspects' devices.

Under the newly approved legal framework, authorities can deploy malware known as the Bundestrojaner to intercept encrypted communications on mobile phones and computers even when individuals are not suspected of any crime, provided that all other investigative tools have been exhausted.

The amendments span several key laws, including the State Protection and Intelligence Service Act, the Security Police Act and the Telecommunications Act. Government documents outline two core aims: preventing serious constitutional threats that carry a potential sentence of at least 10 years, and enabling the monitoring of encrypted digital communication.

Karner promised that the use of spyware would be tightly regulated. A panel of three judges would have to approve any surveillance request and the number of individuals targeted annually is expected to remain between 25 and 30. Surpassing that limit would require mandatory reporting to Parliament. If encrypted surveillance exceeds 30 cases in one year, the Interior Minister must notify a permanent subcommittee of the National Council, Austria's lower house of Parliament...<<<Read More>>>....

Technetronic Enslavement: Life Inside the Matrix of Control

 The march of modern progress has brought forth many advances for humanity, and yet man is lost. Technology, automation, and miniaturisation, along with the micro-processing revolution, allow things to happen that were unimaginable only ten years ago, let alone a century before. These rapid advances have brought with them a number of complex problems, some of which challenge the very notion of progress.

If you define the level of an advanced civilisation by how much freedom its citizens experience in their day to day lives – along with the protection of individual liberties as we have come to expect in the 21^st century – then the march of the mass surveillance state over the last 15 years should be of serious concern. Despite public pleas from our leaders that, ‘if only we pass this next law or security measure’, or ‘if we can just launch one more month of airstrikes’, or ‘if the public will allow just a bit more access to their personal information…’ and so on, the state and its corporate partners have developed a firm grip on power over, and intrusions into, our personal lives that is only increasing.

In the West, a type of cognitive dissonance has already set in regard to this and other related issues – partly due to the sheer dominance of the ‘war on terror’ and national security narratives that overtook society after 11 September 2001. Since then, it seems that every six months or so the narrative is revised; as one perceived threat subsides, another emerges in its place....<<<Read More>>>...

Dominic Cummings: The British State is Fundamentally Broken

 Boris Johnson’s former chief of staff has given a podcast interview to Kamal Ahmed in the Telegraph setting out his, by now, familiar critique of the British state. Heres how Kamal’s summary begins:

“He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet,” Noel Gallagher once said of his brother, Liam. “He’s a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

For those who don’t know him, Dominic Cummings often appears afflicted with the same helpless rage – a maverick, furious with the broken world around him and armed with little more than the wrong cutlery. I don’t even know if Cummings likes Oasis, the rock band that made Liam and Noel so famous in the 1990s that Tony Blair invited them to Downing Street. But one thing is true, Cummings is quietly plotting his own version of a comeback tour. The World of Soup beware.

We meet in his elegant Islington town house, where he lives with his wife, the Spectator journalist Mary Wakefield. It’s situated bang in the middle of the metropolitan, satisfied, liberal, elitist enclaves of the city he so regularly excoriates. The downstairs kitchen is a jumbled mess of family life, a rusting child’s bike in the garden, comfy battered chairs and a list of school packed-lunch arrangements for his young son chalked on a blackboard.

At the end of the garden hangs a large illustration depicting the final scene of the film Modern Times, where the Tramp, played by Charlie Chaplin, is seen walking into the distance with the Gamine, his companion. For a movie about the dehumanising risks of early-20th century industrialisation, it strikes a hopeful note of a better future. Next to it in the garden is a boxer’s punch bag...<<<Read More>>>...

Electric Cars Crash in Value With Some Worth Just a Third of Original Price After One Year

 Electric cars are crashing in value with some worth as little as a third of their original price after just 12 months. The Mail has the story.

EVs in general have suffered catastrophic depreciation since the end of 2022 when a cocktail of issues sent used prices into a downward spiral.

This perfect storm hit almost simultaneously, involving a cost-of-living crisis, rocketing energy prices, hard-hitting media coverage of EVs, an oversupply of vehicles entering the second-hand market, and Tesla slashing new model prices.

It quickly brewed into a destructive tornado for used electric car values.

Three years later, this punishing depreciation is still hitting EV values – and to the tune of tens of thousands of pounds for owners who bought them outright and leasing and financing companies burdened with undervalued vehicles, according to data shared with This is Money and MailOnline.

Cap hpi – experts in the field of vehicle pricing – provided us with market information showing troubling EV residual values compared to cars of other fuel types, while also revealing the models that haemorrhage the most money after only 12 months.

To understand what’s stalling a recovery for second-hand EV prices, we also spoke to industry insiders to get their perspective on the crippling impact for the motor sector....<<<Read More>>>...

Marching into Oblivion

 The world is an increasingly dangerous and frightening place. Existential problems are coming at an unprecedented rate and, to the innocent observer, no one seems to be in charge. 

Most people do not know what has happened, is happening and is about to happen, and the reason for that is simple: we no longer have a free press. 

The truth is heavily censored and truth-tellers are lied about, abused, threatened, censored, banned and demonised. Self-described fact-checkers are paid by government agencies and corporations with vested interests. Their job is to suppress the truth and demonise the truth-tellers.

Everything bad is happening on purpose. Everything is deliberate. The aim is to destroy our comfort; and to destroy our physical, mental and spiritual health.

The conspirators want to kill and control.

Many strange things are happening and it sometimes seems as though we are living in an alien world. This is no accident.

We must all be constantly aware that everything that is happening is part of a plan to distract, to terrify, to confuse and to bewilder us with a barrage of disinformation and misinformation and plain, old-fashioned propaganda. Governments and their agents are constantly using psyops (psychological operations) to control and mould their populations. There are repeated attempts to classify so-called conspiracy theorists as terrorists. And there have been, and still are large factions within governments which want those who question vaccination to be labelled and treated as terrorists....<<<Read More>>>...

EU collaborates with foreign governments on digital ID

 The European Commission has unveiled an International Digital Strategy that would export its digital governance model abroad for a more "secure and democratic digital transformation."

According to several reports, the Commission seeks to formalize partnerships with several countries, including Ukraine, Moldova, the Western Balkans and several Latin American nations, to advance the mutual recognition of digital IDs and other electronic trust services.

Key provisions of the plan include strengthening alignment with countries such as India, Brazil, Egypt and Uruguay in areas of digital identity interoperability and content regulation. The document highlights the United Nations (UN) Global Digital Compact as a shared framework to guide these collaborations, advocating for common standards on digital identity and online speech regulation.

The strategy also ties into the enforcement of the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), a sweeping regulatory framework that imposes strict compliance obligations on online platforms. The DSA includes child protection measures, but these are frequently used to justify broader content moderation, identity verification requirements and censorship under the guise of safeguarding public discourse....<<<Read More>>>....

All ancient monuments are built on the basis of common knowledge

 For thousands of years, ancient civilizations around the world have left their amazing and mysterious traces in the history of the planet. By building supermassive structures that defy explanation, our ancestors gave us puzzles that we still cannot solve.

And today, we admire and explore the amazing monuments built thousands of years ago, trying to answer some of the most important historical questions: how did civilizations that we used to think of as primitive managed to design and embody all this in stone?

How did they manage to transport massive blocks weighing up to a hundred tons? And most importantly – why are so many monuments structurally similar to each other, although they are literally located at different ends of the Earth?...<<<Read More>>>...
