The Origin and Evolution of Dragon Myths Across Cultures

 Dragons are mythical creatures that appear in legends and folklore around the world. They are often depicted as large, reptilian beasts with wings, horns, claws, and fiery breath. 

But why do so many different cultures have stories about dragons, even though they never existed in reality? (Really?)

One possible explanation is that ancient people misinterpreted the fossils of extinct animals, such as dinosaurs, and imagined them as living monsters. (ALITD OPINION - Its actually the OTHER way round - dinosaurs are the fossils of dragons!) ....<<<Read More>>>....

Food for Thought #850 - Cabbage Patch Kids, Incubators and Cloning Humans

 So, let us go back to the turn of the 20th century and the phenomenon known as the 'Cabbage Patch Kids' .... but also the incubators set up in the 'World Fairs' of the time by members of The Eugenics Society.

It appeared a very strange time with the excess of Orphans and babies being bought and sold to order .... at the time of the last reset and the subsequent massive increase in the world population.

Eugenics is all about perfecting genetic lineages and the incubators of the time suggested that human cloning was a reality .....

Jump forward to the rumours circulating now in the 21st century of notable figures - politicians, actors, singers etc having clones. On the face of it we can be dismissive of those conspiracy theories, but when you dig deeper into the start of 'the new world' is seems the cabbage patch kids and the incubators was in actual truth cloning!!!

It is therefore very possible this cloning never stopped .... and is very much a reality in our modern world ......  

Bovaer Bovine Stupidity

 Late last year, Arla Foods began a trial of Bovaer in 30 farms across the country. At the time, according to BBC Very Iffy, the company claimed the additive could reduce methane emissions from cows by 30-45%. 

News of the trial caused consternation among some and led to a boycott of some Arla products. The manufacturer of Bovaer, DSM-Firmenich said these people were the subject of mistruths and misinformation and the product was “totally safe” for use.

Meanwhile, Bovaer was mandated to use across Denmark in early October this year and there have been many reports that the additive is damaging to livestock, prompting an investigation by the Danish government. By pure coincidence, Arla announced in early November it had stopped the British trial and was evaluating the results.

How did we get into this position of endemic bovine stupidity? Let’s dig in....<<<Read More>>>...

Labour government avoids increasing taxes by increasing taxes

Why does the Labour government need to increase taxes? One reason is that, due to policy changes and higher-than-expected unemployment, welfare spending is expected to climb £16 billion higher by the end of the decade. Other reasons include the money needed to feed the net zero monster and Labour’s wish list for nationalising industries.

The UK Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, delivered her budget to the House of Commons today. The budget avoids increasing income tax but increases a variety of taxes and reduces tax allowances instead.

Increased taxes under a Labour government would have been predicted by anyone who understands the nature of socialism, regardless of what promises Labour made to woo voters in the run-up to the election.

The Telegraph has summarised Rachel from Accounts’ budget in point form. You can read their summary HERE. Effectively, the Labour government has increased taxes in such a way as to be able to claim they have not increased taxes, as promised in their 2024 manifesto.

The Chancellor has extended the freeze on income tax thresholds for another three years beyond 2028. It will mean income tax thresholds do not increase with inflation, meaning more people will fall into higher bands when they receive pay rises.

Electric vehicle drivers are facing a new pay-per-mile tax from 2028-29, charging 3p per mile. It will be in addition to other road taxes and cost the average driver £255 a year to begin with. The charge will increase in line with inflation.

In September 2026, the 5p temporary cut on fuel duty will fall away. And from April 2027, fuel duty will increase annually in line with inflation.

Salary-sacrificed pension contributions will no longer be exempt from National Insurance from April 2029. This means that salary-sacrificed contributions above £2,000 per year will be subject to both employer and employee National Insurance.

The owners of properties worth £2 million or more face a new “high value council tax surcharge” from April 2028. Property income tax will also rise by 2% points from April 2027.

The amount you can save tax-free in a cash ISA will be slashed from £20,000 to £12,000 from April 2027, unless you are aged over 65. The basic and higher rates of tax on dividends and savings are rising by 2% from April 2026 and April 2027, respectively.

R​eeves is also planning to cut an estimated average of £76 from annual domestic energy bills by moving the most expensive green levy from bills to direct taxation.

And there are some sneaky increases in taxation for companies as well.

Socialists are continually trying to expand the area of the State’s tasks, which all cost money. Consequently, there is an increase in expenditure. The only way a state can fund itself is through the productive work of its citizens. When the Government wants to increase its spending, higher taxes on citizens’ earnings are inevitable....<<<Read More>>>...

Interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS defies expectations: Mysterious tail growth, radio signals spark debate over natural vs. artificial origin

 The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS exhibits highly unusual characteristics, including a rapidly growing and structured ion tail, seven distinct jets (some pointing toward the sun) and non-gravitational acceleration, which defy typical comet mechanics.

The detection of a faint, consistent radio signal with an unusual emission pattern, combined with the object's massive size and erratic jets, has led some scientists like Avi Loeb to hypothesize that it could be an artificial construct rather than a natural comet.

While officially classified as a comet, its unprecedented nature has captivated astronomers who are scrambling to study it. Its appearance has also fueled speculation, with some drawing parallels to biblical prophecies describing a celestial "sword."

NASA confirms the comet poses no threat to Earth but acknowledges its unique properties. The scientific community is preparing for further observations to determine the object's true composition and origin.

Regardless of its origin, 3I/ATLAS challenges existing understanding of interstellar objects and raises profound questions about what exists in deep space, with the core mystery of whether it is a natural phenomenon or something artificial remaining unresolved.

A newly discovered interstellar comet, 3I/ATLAS, has captivated astronomers and conspiracy theorists alike with its unusual behavior – rapidly growing tail, unexplained radio emissions and jets that defy conventional comet mechanics.

As it nears Earth, scientists are scrambling to determine whether this cosmic visitor is a natural phenomenon or something far more intriguing. First detected on June 14, 2025, and officially confirmed by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) ATLAS system on July 1, 3I/ATLAS is already proving to be unlike its predecessors, 'Oumuamua (2017) and Comet 2I/Borisov (2019).

Recent images from the Virtual Telescope Project reveal that its ion tail – formed when solar radiation strips electrons from gas molecules – has grown dramatically longer and more structured. Unlike typical comets whose tails grow steadily, 3I/ATLAS exhibits erratic behavior....<<<Read More>>>...

Earth Chakras

 As we walk across the Earth, we are moving upon a living being more similar to ourselves than we imagine. Just like us, the Earth has both a physical body and an energetic body, complete with a chakra system identified by ancient mystics and modern scientists alike. Gaia, as the Earth is called when acknowledged as a living entity in her own right, has her own life force and her own path of unfolding, separate from us but also including us. Human beings and Gaia are intertwined on every level, not just the physical. An awareness of her chakras can help us acknowledge, heal, and enable her on her path, just as she selflessly returns the favor to us.

It is generally agreed that Gaia has seven major chakras distributed evenly across her body and connected to one another via two lines of energy that intersect at various points on the Earth. The first chakra is located at Mount Shasta in Northern California; the second is in Lake Titicaca in South America; the third chakra is in Uluru-Kata Tjuta in Australia; the fourth chakra resides in Glastonbury in England; the fifth chakra is between the Great Pyramid and the Mount of Olives; the sixth chakra is in Kuh-e Malek Siah in Iran; and the seventh chakra is in Mount Kailas in Tibet. In addition to her seven major chakras, she has minor chakras and other vortexes of energy that are significant to her life-energy system, and all these energy centers need caretaking. Just as we can heal ourselves through our own chakras, we can heal and support Gaia through hers.

While it would be wonderful to visit one of the Earth’s chakras, you can always participate in loving and healing Gaia wherever you are. Maintaining an awareness of the regions in which her chakras reside can be very powerful. You can place photos of the locales on your altar, sending healing energy to each of her chakras during your meditations. As you consciously connect your energy system to her energy system, the true meaning of groundedness reveals itself — it is a relationship with Gaia in which we acknowledge our calling as the caretakers of her soul....<<<Read More>>>....

Jury Trials to be Scrapped for Most Crimes

 Jury trials for most crimes are set to be scrapped in an effort to clear the massive court backlog under proposals to be unveiled next month by David Lammy. The Telegraph has more.

The Justice Secretary, attempting to tackle chronic court backlogs, is to propose that juries will only decide murder, rape, manslaughter and other serious offences carrying possible prison sentences of more than five years.

Lone judges will preside over trials of other serious offences meriting sentences of up to five years, removing the rights of thousands of defendants to be heard before a jury.

Mr Lammy will also increase magistrates’ powers. He will broaden their remit from offences carrying a maximum sentence of one year to two years, further eroding the right to a jury trial.

The plans go further than the recommendations suggested by Sir Brian Leveson in a report commissioned by Shabana Mahmood, Mr Lammy’s predecessor.

He had proposed that there should be an intermediate court comprising a judge and two magistrates for mid-range offences.

The reforms, expected to be outlined next week, put Mr Lammy on a collision course with the legal profession.

Suella Braverman, a former home secretary and attorney general, said: “This is a serious assault on our liberty. Trial by your peers is a fundamental right in our democracy, and goes to the core of who we are as a nation.”...<<<Read More>>>....

Silent invasion: The unchecked rise of AI toys

 mentalA coalition of child safety experts is warning parents to avoid AI-powered toys, arguing they pose unprecedented threats to children's psychological and emotional well-being and undermine healthy development.

These toys, which use advanced chatbot technology to act as synthetic friends, risk shaping a child's understanding of relationships before they learn to navigate real, complex human connections.

Documented harms from similar AI technology include encouraging unsafe behaviors, self-harm and engaging in sexually explicit conversations, with safety "guardrails" proving unreliable.

Child development experts warn that replacing the messy, essential interactions of real friendship with frictionless AI affirmation can stunt emotional growth, hindering the development of empathy and resilience.

The toys also displace creative, self-directed play, which is critical for cognitive development, and operate in a regulatory void with no independent proof of their safety despite mounting evidence of harm.

In a stark warning issued just before the holiday shopping season, a coalition of child safety advocates and developmental experts is urging parents to avoid a new generation of playthings: toys embedded with artificial intelligence. The advocacy group Fairplay, in an advisory endorsed by over 150 experts and organizations, contends that these AI-powered dolls, plushies and robots pose unprecedented threats to the psychological and emotional well-being of children, fundamentally undermining healthy development....<<<Read More>>>...

Food For Thought #848 - Orphans and The Missing Children

 Commencing 1776 and ongoing until the late 1800's/early 1900's tens of thousands of children were classified as 'orphans' and were transported out on orphan trains and boats to the four corners of the world to RECOLONISE the old world as part of the last reset. 

Where did the children come from? Many were left as orphans when their fathers were killed in the many conflicts at the time (If the father died, then the child was taken off the mother). Many were rendered orphans when their parents were thrown in the newly created asylums (Correctional centres for survivors of the old world who refused to conform with the new world laws and rules). 

But imagine what was going on at that time, THOUSANDS of children were going missing. They were being taken against their will be agents of the Parasite Elite and forced into being the pawns of recolonisation of the 'new world'. The world we now exist in.

Here's a thought ... the same modus operandi NEVER stopped. It still goes on today. Tens of thousands of children are still going missing even today. What if recolonisation is STILL going on today in readiness for the next reset which is sadly almost upon us. We know there is child trafficking going on, and led to believe there are large numbers being sacrificed. 

But what if some of those claims are a cover? What if the orphan scenario of back then still goes on today? One flaw ... where could they be recolonising? We supposedly know all lands on the earth, right? But what if we don't? What if they have hidden lands from us? What if there are places beneath our feet (Or even beyond the ice wall) that we don't know about? What if the parasite elite are undertaking conquests in other lands? They are not going to tell us, and we are never likely to find out ....?

This is speculation .... but leopards never change their spots and keep to the same methods ....   

You are the target of a carefully orchestrated war

Are You Depressed Yet? If not, you soon will be because that’s the plan. You are the target of a carefully orchestrated war. And the weapons are fear and misery, not bullets and bombs.

The end of the world we used to know and love gets closer every day. And everything bad that is happening is happening deliberately. Nothing bad is happening by accident. And there are no coincidences. We are at war with our governments. They don’t care, of course, because the aim is to create unhappiness so that the world’s people will accept a new world government with relief.

Just look at what is happening.

In what used to be called developed, civilised countries, health care is deteriorating to the point where endless thousands are dying for the lack of very simple basic medical care.

The medical establishment is controlled and owned by the drug industry.

General practice is a sick farce – run for the benefit of overpaid, underworked doctors, most of whom don’t give a fig about their patients.

Hospitals are as dangerous today as they were in the Middle Ages. Patients who go into hospital are more likely to be killed by the staff than by their illness, and most doctors now do more harm than good. Elderly patients who are admitted to hospital are lucky if they leave.

Health care was definitely better in the 1970s than it is now. And arguably better in the 1950s.

I’d happily debate this claim live on national television with any establishment doctor.

But members of medical trade unions seem to me determined to stamp out health care by putting their own financial interests above the interests of patients. There is also an extraordinary myth that cutting down on treatment will, in some bizarre way, alleviate imaginary global warming.

But no one debates important issues any more.

Education is a disaster, too. Teachers don’t teach students how to think. They spread lies and propaganda and expect their students to accept and regurgitate the garbage without question. Indeed, students – even those at university – refuse to think or to question the lies they are told. Anyone who questions the official line will be banned, censored into silence or demonised.

Economies are being deliberately destroyed by policies which seem insane. The naïve blame it on incompetence. But no one could possibly be as incompetent as Britain’s communist government. They are deliberately destroying the economy, wrecking businesses, creating unemployment, destroying savings. They want you broke. Remember: you will own nothing and be happy.

Good, decent food is as difficult to find as honest journalists. Most of the stuff on sale is so full of chemicals and dangerous additives that it isn’t fit for human consumption. And yet prices continue to soar. Farmers are under siege.

Energy prices are rocketing too. And when energy prices go up, then the price of everything goes up. Government policies in Europe are designed to push energy prices ever higher. The absurd Net Zero policies so beloved by the utterly insane and deluded global warming cultists will result in more and more people having to choose between eating or keeping warm. 

Politicians in Europe are desperate for a war against Russia and determined, yet again, to prevent peace in Ukraine. The purpose? To push up oil prices still higher and to help depopulate Europe. And, of course, politicians such as Starmer and Macron, whose future is firmly behind them, know that only a good, old-fashioned war can revive their fallen careers. (Naturally, the politicians pushing for war won’t be doing any of the fighting themselves.) 

Blocking the sun means that winters are going to be colder than ever. Global cooling will be a deliberately man-made problem that will kill millions....<<<Read More>>>...

Your Voice as Healing Medicine

 Long before language, there was sound — the primal hum of life itself. Our ancestors sang to the stars, mothers hum to soothe their children, and we instinctively sigh when we need emotional release. The sound of our own voice is more than expression; it is remembrance — medicine carried on the breath.

When we hum, chant, or sing, the vibrations travel through the chest and throat, stimulating the vagus nerve — the body’s main pathway for calm and connection. This resonance ripples through us like a tide washing up on shore, softening tension, deepening breath, and gently quieting the mind. It’s these moments that bring us back to total in-the-moment-ness, catalyzing a whole new way of being and doing in the world.

And as the voice begins to rise — even softly, even imperfectly — we awaken a truth that words alone can’t touch. The sound that we create from within becomes a bridge back home to ourselves. It grounds us when life feels heavy, liberates us from emotional overwhelm, and restores a quiet kind of joy that doesn’t need to be performed — only felt. In sound, we cultivate harmony in the mind, body, spirit, and heart. (Daily OM)

Mystery of the Missing Cornucopia: A Mandela Effect Case Study

 Have you ever heard of the Mandela Effect? It’s a phenomenon where a large number of people remember something differently than how it actually is.

For example, some people swear that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, while others remember him becoming the president of South Africa in the 1990s. How can this be?

One of the most famous examples of the Mandela Effect is the Fruit of the Loom logo. Many people remember seeing a cornucopia, or a horn of plenty, behind the fruits in the logo. However, if you look at the actual logo, there is no cornucopia at all. Just fruits.

Like many others, I was convinced that the cornucopia has disappeared from the famous Fruit of the Loom logo, and in my opinion, it’s one of the strongest Mandela Effects, because of the left-over residual evidence of its existence, coupled with the huge amount of people that are certain it was there, including employees of the company....<<<Read More>>>...

 

The Great Protein Deception: How food giants are profiting from a nutrient most Americans already get enough of

 High-protein labels now appear on countless processed foods.

Most Americans already consume more than enough protein but remain confused about their needs.

This trend is driven by savvy marketing that targets vulnerable consumers.

Adding protein to unhealthy foods does not make them nutritious.

Experts advise getting protein from whole foods instead of processed products.

A stroll through the modern grocery store reveals a curious pattern. Labels shouting "high-protein" adorn not just the expected shakes and bars, but also cookies, cereal, bagels, and even water. This is the new face of food marketing, a $117 billion global industry capitalizing on a widespread nutritional obsession. While most American adults already meet their daily protein requirements, a staggering 79% are unsure of what those requirements actually are, making them uniquely susceptible to slick advertising and social media trends. This confusion is driving a boom in ultra-processed products that experts warn may be harming health more than helping it.

The roots of this protein fixation run deep, evolving from a niche concern of bodybuilders into a mainstream dietary pillar. This shift was heavily influenced by decades of low-carb and low-fat diet crazes, which positioned protein as the last "acceptable" macronutrient. The trend has only intensified, with food giants like Kraft and General Mills launching a plethora of new products to meet the demand. The International Food Information Council’s Food & Health Survey notes that the percentage of Americans actively trying to consume more protein has climbed significantly in recent years.

This cultural moment is being driven by a perfect storm of factors. Gen Z is identified as a particularly health-conscious generation driving the trend. Meanwhile, the rise of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic has created a new market of consumers seeking nutrient-dense, lower-calorie options to prevent muscle loss. The result is a supermarket landscape where protein is being added to foods where it has no traditional business being, from high-protein lattes to candy and ice cream....<<<Read More>>>...

What Should Be Done About Britain’s Impending Collapse?

 There is a rising sense, on at least our side, that the world, and, specifically, the United Kingdom, is in a state of crisis, collapse or incipient civil war. What should be done?

We have significant figures who argue for various things that should be done. The things are more important than the people who advocate them. But it is hard to hold onto thoughts. Concrete is more memorable than abstract. So I want to identify the things that we should do with those who, it seems to me, are arguing for them the hardest. Saying what should be done is a collective activity, and I see many people contributing to it. But we should all row together, as in a college eight.

A college eight is a boat rowed by eight men, or eight women, as in the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. In this piece I am playing cox: trying to suggest that everyone row in time. I have to put this in my own words, so I apologise to any of the rowers, should they read this. You can check their own words, as they exist in book form, or, more usually, now, in videos to be found on YouTube. I think it is regrettable, to some extent, that in our age speech is favoured over the written word, but perhaps speech does enable truth to be told, because untruth when vocalised sounds so hollow, whereas the written word, unless used very well, conceals much sin. Anyhow, here are the eight....<<<Read More>>>....

UN loses touch with reality: Declares “World Toilet Day” and says its climate summit demonstrated climate cooperation is “alive and kicking”

 The UN is the only organisation hailing the recent climate change summit as a success. The reality is, its failure was so significant that even corporate media, which have for years disseminated propaganda to prop up the climate change crisis narrative, had to publish that it was a failure.

But it was not all failure for the UN. A notable “achievement” at the summit was to declare 19 November as “World Toilet Day.”

The 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP30, which began on 10 November, came to a close on Friday, 21 November. UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell gave the closing speech. “COP30 showed that climate cooperation is alive and kicking, keeping humanity in the fight for a liveable planet,” he said. “Here in Belem, nations chose solidarity, science and economic common sense.”

However, even the climate propagandist BBC reported that it was “a deeply divisive climate summit.”

“In three decades of these meetings aimed at forging global consensus on how to prevent and deal with global warming, this will go down as among the most divisive,” the BBC said. “The summit was a reality check on just how much global consensus has broken down over what to do about climate change.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The State is both psychopathic and breathtakingly stupid: ‘Teenager gets criminal conviction over £1.67 bill on surprise birthday gift, in new fast-track court scandal.’

 A teenager has been handed a criminal conviction over £1.67 of unpaid car tax on a surprise birthday gift, for an offence committed before she had even received the vehicle.

The 18-year-old was prosecuted by the DVLA over the bill on her new Toyota, in the latest case of harsh justice to emerge from the Single Justice Procedure.

In a letter to the court, she explained the car was bought as a surprise 18th birthday gift from her parents, and she was entirely unaware of it when it was untaxed for a few weeks in April and early May.

She set out how her parents were waiting to see if she passed her driving test before paying the annual £20 road tax fee.

“As I was not the driver at the time of the offence and not aware that I owned the vehicle, I kindly ask that you review this offence”, the teenager wrote in her letter.

But despite the circumstances, magistrate Francine Beckett, sitting in Burnley, decided to impose a criminal conviction on the teen.

She received a six-month conditional discharge from the court, and was also ordered to settle the £1.67 bill.

It was nearly two years ago that The Standard first exposed deep flaws in the Single Justice Procedure, a fast-track courts system which sits behind closed doors.

Prosecutors like the DVLA do not routinely see mitigation letters, so miss the chance to withdraw cases which turn out not to be in the public interest.

Data also shows that magistrates rarely refer cases back to prosecutors for a public interest check – even when there is compelling and often heartbreaking information in the mitigation letter – contributing to the system being nicknamed “conveyor belt justice”.

The teenager, from Porth in South Wales, was prosecuted for keeping a vehicle without a valid vehicle licence.

She submitted an online guilty plea, but then went on to explain: “I was unknowingly the owner of the vehicle in question.”...<<<Read More>>>...

A foggy future: Cognitive problems spike in young adults, defying age expectations

A new study finds self-reported cognitive disability in U.S. adults under 40 nearly doubled from 2013 to 2023.

Chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes are key drivers, damaging brain blood vessels and increasing inflammation.

Socioeconomic factors are significant, with lower income and education levels correlating with higher rates of cognitive difficulty.

The trend suggests modern lifestyle stressors, including poor diet and constant digital stimulation, are harming young brains.

Experts emphasize that proactive lifestyle changes targeting metabolism and stress can protect and restore cognitive function.

In a dramatic shift that is alarming neurologists and public health experts, cognitive difficulties like memory loss, poor focus and brain fog are rising at an unprecedented rate among young Americans. A landmark study published in Neurology reveals that self-reported cognitive disability among adults aged 18 to 39 nearly doubled between 2013 and 2023, even as rates for older adults held steady or slightly declined. This reversal of the traditional pattern points to a growing crisis fueled not by aging, but by modern lifestyle factors—including poor metabolic health, chronic stress and socioeconomic disadvantage—that are silently eroding the brain health of a generation in its prime....<<<Read More>>>...

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do

 Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines – and Labour and its Leftie allies try to censor X. A cross-party group of more than 30 Labour, Lib Dem, Green and other MPs has this week written to Ofcom, the broadcast regulator, to ask it to investigate whether Elon Musk’s social media platform is complying with the Online Safety Act. 

The letter follows research from the pro-censorship think tank the Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). It paints the platform formerly known as Twitter as a “a home for hate” under its new owner, alleging that antisemitism is “reaching millions” there. “For too long, X has been a source of abuse and hate,” says Joani Reid, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on antisemitism, who led the letter. “We are calling on Ofcom to use every power available to it to take action and hold the platform to account for breaches of our online safety laws.”

It is true that the CCDH has been able to uncover some nasty and antisemitic posts on X (“Every time a Jew dies, the world becomes a better place” and “Don’t stop till… all Jews are gone off this blessed earth”). This would be somewhat more concerning, however, if such posts were attracting much engagement, either in likes and reposts or just plain impressions. But since Musk’s takeover, X’s enforcement philosophy has been “freedom of speech, not reach”, which errs on the side of stifling flagged content via the algorithm rather than removing it outright. Accordingly, the antisemitic posts collected by the CCDH typically have zero likes and scarcely any views – most commonly in the single figures. To try and suggest such posts have wide currency on X today is a major exaggeration. Indeed, if one is minded to trawl, say, Bluesky for similar sentiments one can find them.

It’s easy to see then that this research, and the attempt to use it to influence Ofcom, forms part of a wider censorship agenda against Musk’s free-speech platform. This is the same CCDH, after all, whose Chief Executive, Imran Ahmed, is set to have his US visa revoked by the State Department over concerns about his organisation’s attacks on X....<<<Read More>>>...

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower is historically fake?

 This is what the real Eiffel Tower looked like 300 years ago, before the great reset, and erasure of history. It was a center for attracting energy from the ether or air and converting it into electricity. It powered the entire city and had other purposes.
 
They also convinced you that major cities were built recently, but what happened was destruction and rebuilding on the ruins of the Tartarian civilization. 
This was the goal of the World War play: the systematic destruction of buildings only. There were no millions of deaths, just a play... A world war in Europe and a colonial movement in Africa and Asia.
 
Imagine that they told us that Germany occupied France in a war, and at the same time, France, which lost sovereignty, remained occupying 50 African and Asian countries and controlling them!
 
How do people accept this nonsense?!

Power, Beauty, and Warmth

 Anyone who has endured a long, dark winter can attest to the power the sun has to both invigorate and relax the body, mind, and soul. It can be daunting to begin the months of fall and winter, knowing that we may not see much of the beautiful sun for quite some time. 

But it is important to remember that even during the darker days of fall and winter, the sun is still shining, as beautiful as ever. Just because it is hidden behind clouds or setting early in our part of the world does not mean that we cannot access its power, beauty, and warmth.

One way to do this is to find a warm spot in our house where we can sit or lie down in peace. Closing our eyes, we allow our breath to come and go easily, progressively lengthening each inhale and exhale until we feel very relaxed, peaceful, and warm. We can imagine that it is a very warm summer day and that the sun is shining on us, warming our body. In particular, we may feel as if a small sun has taken up residence in the area of our solar plexus or our heart. Spend some time experiencing this sensation, allowing the heat to radiate from inside your body.

If you live in a part of the world that loses a lot of light in the winter, you might want to do this exercise each night before retiring. You also could do it at the beginning of each day, giving yourself a chance to plug into that great source of energy. Keeping the sun inside of you when you are missing it on the outside is a way to say hello to the sun and let it warm your soul. (Daily OM)

 With the recent Trump-related scandal embroiling the BBC, it’s easy to think this might spell the end for the great British institution. At the very least, it could push it into a crisis in which droves of Brits decide to cancel their licence fee.

The BBC has already been losing viewers in large numbers, with two million people cancelling their licence fees since 2020. On the surface, doing this feels like one of the few ways left to stick it to the Establishment and tell the Government you’re not happy with the use of taxpayer funds.

What’s quite shocking, however, is that there are other channels through which the BBC receives taxpayers’ money – which Brits of course get no say in (and have probably never heard of). These routes could give an indicator as to how the Government might keep the BBC going should significantly more people cancel their licence fee.

Without further ado, here are three examples of how taxpayers are charged for the BBC, whether they have a TV licence or not....<<<Read More>>>...

Mind-reading AI breakthrough: Scientists decode thoughts without brain implants, but privacy concerns mount

 Researchers have developed AI that translates brain activity (via fMRI scans) into readable text without implants, raising concerns about mental privacy erosion and unprecedented surveillance.

While the tech could help nonverbal patients (ALS, locked-in syndrome), it also risks exposing private thoughts, early dementia signs or depression—potentially exploited by governments or corporations.

Experts warn of unauthorized thought extraction, urging strict protections like "mental keyword" activation to prevent abuse. Without safeguards, this could become the ultimate tool for mass control.

Companies like Neuralink are advancing brain-computer interfaces, accelerating the risk of AI-powered thought surveillance under the guise of "innovation."

As AI improves, real-time mind-reading becomes feasible, threatening free will, autonomy and the last frontier of privacy – our inner thoughts.

In a stunning leap toward science fiction becoming reality, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and Japan's NTT Communication Science Laboratories have developed artificial intelligence (AI) capable of translating brain activity into readable text – without invasive implants.

The technology, dubbed "mind-captioning," uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans and AI to reconstruct thoughts with surprising accuracy, raising both hopes for medical breakthroughs and alarms over unprecedented privacy invasions. As explained by BrightU.AI's Enoch, fMRI is a powerful neuroimaging technique that allows researchers and clinicians to map brain activity by detecting associated changes in blood flow.

The decentralized engine adds that fMRI is a valuable tool for investigating brain function and has numerous applications in research and clinical settings. However, it is essential to approach fMRI data and results with a critical eye, acknowledging its limitations and the challenges in interpreting its outputs.

The system relies on deep learning models trained to interpret neural patterns linked to visual and semantic processing. In experiments, participants watched thousands of short video clips while undergoing fMRI scans. An AI model analyzed these scans alongside written captions of the videos, learning to associate brain activity with specific meanings.

When tested, the AI decoded brain activity into descriptive sentences. For example, after a participant viewed a video of someone jumping off a waterfall, the system initially guessed "spring flow" before refining its output to "a person jumps over a deep water fall on a mountain ridge." While not word-for-word perfect, the semantic resemblance was striking....<<<Read More>>>...

They’re deliberately planning to starve us to death

The reason why energy and food prices are soaring, and why food supplies are becoming scarcer, is that they are planning to starve us to death, Dr. Vernon Coleman says. “Starvation is being created quite deliberately as part of the plan to reduce the world’s population.”

Encouraged by cultist-controlled politicians, vast quantities of the world’s crops of corn, soya bean and so on, are being used to make biofuels so that motorists can continue to buy cheap petrol for their motor cars. A while ago, a list of 51 things you and I can do to prevent global warming was published. Number 1 on their list was headed ‘Turn food into fuel’. This, it was claimed, would have a “high impact” on the global warming problem. It was suggested that ethanol is the alternative fuel that “could finally wean the US from its expensive oil habit and in turn prevent the millions of tons of carbon emissions that go with it.”

This is dangerous nonsense. When more land is used to grow biofuels, so that “green” motorists can drive around feeling virtuous, there is less land for growing food and an increase in the number of people starving to death.

The demand for biofuels has been soaring for years (despite the knowledge that, as a result, people are starving), and the increased use of biofuels is a major force behind the rise of food prices. If greens keep promoting biofuels, then there is going to be a global shortage of food and millions more are going to die as a result.

There are other problems with our food supplies, of course...<<<Read More>>>...

The Brain’s Way to De-Stress

 Stress isn’t just something that lives in your mind — it’s something your whole body feels. When overload hits, your brain sets off a cascade of cortisol that raises your heart rate, triggers muscle tension, disrupts sleep, and weakens immunity. Over time, these invisible burdens can quietly reshape how you think, how you work, and even how you connect with the people you care about.

Neurosculpting® meditation offers a gentle way to interrupt these patterns and heal, blending neuroscience and mindfulness into one accessible practice. Through visualization and focused awareness, this method engages the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for calm, rational thought — while soothing the limbic system, which governs our instinctive fight, flight, or freeze response. In doing so, it doesn’t just quiet the mind; it reshapes the brain to support greater balance, resilience, and emotional harmony.

Over time, these changes can feel subtle yet profound — a slower heart rate, an easier breath, a little more space where tension once lived. Stressful moments may still arise, but our relationship to them shifts. We pause more often. We breathe more deeply. And in that steady space, we remember that peace isn’t something we stumble upon — it’s something we cultivate, one mindful moment at a time....<<<Read More>>>...

The BBC Can’t Be Reformed – Its Purpose is Propaganda and Disinformation

 The BBC has announced that its Director-General Tim Davie and the CEO of BBC News Deborah Turness are to step down. 

This comes in response to a leaked memo alleging that BBC news and current affairs producers were wilfully doctoring footage to fabricate a false narrative, a scandal worsened by senior executives’ indifference to the allegations when brought to their attention.

 In further news, the Telegraph reports that “The BBC is preparing to launch an investigation to assess bias in its climate change coverage, amid a growing crisis at the corporation.” 

It sounds like much is changing everywhere. But is it? Are institutions merely adapting to their immediate crisis, and is that enough? Should we require more? What will the BBC be? What do we want it to be? Should it be anything at all?...<<<Read More>>>....

A 1957 book by Ayn Rand describes the plan to declare war on “fossil fuels”

 In 1978, John Todd spoke about plans laid out in a 1957 book by Ayn Rand, a mistress of Phillip Rothschild, about the Illuminati raising oil prices and then later destroying the oil fields and completely shutting down the coal industry.

This is one of the aims of the climate change cult. Is it merely a coincidence?

John Todd, also known by various aliases including John Todd Collins, Lance Collins and Christopher Kollyns, said he was a high-ranking member of a secret satanic conspiracy involving the Illuminati and witchcraft. He asserted he was born into a family of witches and was groomed from childhood to become a Grand Druid high priest within the Illuminati, a secret group he claimed was plotting a global takeover. 

He served as a high priest in the “Council of Thirteen,” a group he said was subordinate to the Rothschild family, whom he alleged were demonic entities. Todd said his family lineage, the Collins bloodline, had been involved in witchcraft for generations....<<<Read More>>>...

NASA releases images of ancient interstellar comet after shutdown fueled alien spacecraft theories

NASA confirms the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet.

The announcement ended speculation fueled by a government data blackout.

A fleet of NASA spacecraft captured unprecedented data on the visitor.

Scientists believe the comet is ancient, potentially predating our solar system.

Despite the official conclusion, some experts continue to question its origin.

After weeks of government-imposed silence, NASA has finally released information about one the most captivating cosmic visitors in recent history. The space agency has released a cache of new images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, emphatically stating the object is a natural comet and not an alien spacecraft. The highly anticipated data, captured by a fleet of NASA spacecraft including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, had been delayed by the recent U.S. government shutdown, a period that fueled rampant speculation about what the agency might be hiding.

The government shutdown, which lasted from Oct. 1 to Nov. 12, coincided with a critical period for observations as the comet flew behind the sun. This forced delay in sharing data created an information vacuum that was quickly filled by conspiracy theories. During a news conference, NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya directly confronted these rumors, leaving no room for ambiguity about the object’s nature.

"This object is a comet," Kshatriya said. "It looks and behaves like a comet… and all evidence points to it being a comet. But this one came from outside the solar system, which makes it fascinating, exciting and scientifically very important." This definitive statement serves as a direct rebuttal to theories suggesting the visitor could be artificial technology from another star system.....<<<Read More>>>...

Police Admit Unlawful Arrest of Parents who Complained about School

 Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine were arrested over messages they had sent on WhatsApp criticising their daughter’s school. Hertfordshire constabulary have now admitted unlawful arrest and agreed as £20,000 payout. The Times has the story.

A police force has admitted unlawful arrest after sending six uniformed officers to detain two parents who had complained about their school on WhatsApp.

Hertfordshire constabulary originally defended its arrest of Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine but has now agreed a £20,000 payout. The force admitted that the legal criteria for arrest were ‘not made out’ and formally accepted liability for wrongful arrest and detention.

It stood by its decision to investigate, citing the volume of correspondence sent by Allen and Levine to their daughter’s primary school.

The case led to a national debate about police overreach after the Times revealed that Allen and Levine had been detained in January in front of their young daughter before being fingerprinted, searched and left in a police cell for eight hours.

They were questioned on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property. After a five-week investigation, police concluded that there should be no further action.

Six officers, who arrived in a police van and two marked vehicles, arrested the couple after Cowley Hill Primary School, which their daughter attended, complained of a high volume of emails and disparaging comments on WhatsApp.

In April, Andy Prophet, chief constable of Hertfordshire, defended the arrests.

He said that the inspector who had approved them did not believe Allen and Levine would consent to a voluntary interview and also needed to preserve electronic devices.

However, the force’s lawyers admitted this month that the criteria for arrest, under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, were not made out “therefore rendering the arrest unlawful”. The force agreed a payout of £10,000 each to Allen, 50, and Levine, 47, noting that the sum was “significantly above that required by the case law and reflects the constabulary’s desire to bring matters to a conclusion”.

Needless to say, the couple were defended by the Free Speech Union....<<<Read More>>>....

Majority of Public “Does Not Want” Labour’s Islamophobia Definition

Labour’s new definition of Islamophobia is not wanted by the majority of the public in any form, with just a fifth backing it, a poll has found, amid a free speech backlash. The Telegraph has the story.

Only one fifth of the public backs creating either a new definition of Islamophobia or of anti-Muslim hate, according to the survey of 1,500 adults.

Labour has tried to shift the emphasis of the definition from Islamophobia to ‘anti-Muslim hatred’ in face of a major backlash, with critics warning that it will threaten free speech.

The change in tone was evident in the Commons on Wednesday at Prime Minister’s Questions when Sir Keir Starmer chose to use the term “anti-Muslim hatred” rather than Islamophobia.

However, the survey by pollsters JL Partners found that around a third opposed both definitions and only a fifth supported either of them, indicating that any change in terminology will make no difference to public opinion.

Some 36% said that a new definition of Islamophobia was a wholly or somewhat “bad” thing, while 20% said it was wholly or somewhat a “good” thing.

Meanwhile, 31% said that a new definition using the term anti-Muslim hatred was a wholly or somewhat “bad” thing, while one in five (20%) said it was wholly or somewhat a “good” thing.

A working group was originally set up to draw up an official definition of Islamophobia. However it has reportedly removed all references to Islamophobia or Muslimness in its final report, which is now before ministers.

Instead, it is said to have opted to use the term “anti-Muslim hate” in an attempt to counter fears that the use of Islamophobia could restrict free speech....<<<Read More>>>...

More People Using AI For Key Life Decisions: Are We Giving Up Control?

From breakups and divorces to cross-country moves and career jumps, more people are asking chatbots to navigate critical life choices every day. A new wave of reporting shows users leaning on AI for high-stakes choices because it feels neutral, smart, and always available. The risk is obvious: when judgement gets outsourced to software that was designed to please, bad decisions inevitably look glossy and we slowly lose all control.

Here’s an overview about what’s happening, how the World Economic Forum have been nudging us towards “AI-assisted decisions” for years, and what the evidence says about outcomes.

Reports are increasingly documenting a rise in “AI gut check” culture. People ping chatbots for counsel on relationships, family choices, and relocation more than ever. Users describe AI as calm, non-judgmental, and reassuring – and that’s exactly the problem. People forget that these systems are optimised to keep users engaged and agreeable, not to carry the cost of a bad call. AI researchers warn that chatbots even tend to be sycophantic, gaining users’ trust by politely mirroring them.

Reports demonstrate that people often want the machine to “just decide” for them, while others push back that moral decisions cannot be delegated to a model void of accountability. Users are catching onto the general theme here: AI bots look confident in delivering convenient advice but ultimately have no responsibility if it all goes wrong.....<<<Read More>>>...
