The Hypocrisy Of The Parasite Class

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

That’s still being kept under wraps.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They openly gloated about it too.

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

The CCDH.

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

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

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

Hatred of One’s Own and Love for the Other: a Guide to Oikophobia and Xenophilia

 Roger Scruton was the first to coin the word ‘oikophobia’ to describe fear of home (Greek oikos) in a political context. He used it  to refer to disdain for one’s country, culture or majority population. He was not the first to use its sister word ‘xenophilia’, meaning love of stranger or foreigner (Greek xenos), but showed how the words were two sides of one coin. For Scruton, Jean-Paul Sartre was the archetypal oikophobe, a man contemptuous of the bourgeois culture that had enabled him to become France’s most famous philosopher but a xenophilic apologist for Mao’s Cultural Revolution in which Chinese intellectuals like himself were publicly humiliated and put to work in the paddy fields.

Scruton first wrote about oikophobia in 1993, at a time of concern both in Britain and the USA at the spread of a form of multiculturalism based on negative stereotypes of the majority and positive ones of minorities, and of a ‘political correctness’ designed to police the speech of those unhappy about these trends. Elite disdain for the majority was not new. John Carey’s study of the English intelligentsia over the period 1880-1939, published the year before Scruton coined ‘oikophobia’, illustrates the contempt that so many of our great intellectuals had for the masses among whom they felt they had the misfortune of living. Showing that this was by no means a Right-Left split, the socialist George Orwell in 1941 similarly summed up his fellow intellectuals as people who “took their cookery from Paris and their opinions from Moscow”, were ashamed of their country and sniggered at British institutions.

The oikophobia and xenophilia of large parts of our current elites are thus nothing new. It is just much more in the public’s face because of the extent and speed of current communications. Hardly a day passes without a new example.

What drove the recent deal with Mauritius over the Chagos Islands? The interests of the Chagossians, many of whom are British subjects? Concern for British security? The wish to reduce financial burdens on British taxpayers? No, a wish to be seen in the international community as compliant with international law, even when there was no obligation to do so. As a result, the Chagossians are left high and dry, British taxpayers over the next century look set to fund a £30 billion-plus payment to Mauritius and we hand over ownership of the islands to a power in league with a potential enemy (China).

What drove the recent trade deal with the EU, with its granting of free access to our waters to EU fishermen until 2038, subject to major penalties if we break the agreement? Concern for our coastal and fishing communities, many of them in a depressed state? A wish to honour the Brexit promise to re-establish rights previously granted to our former EU partners?...<<<Read More>>>....

The Problem With the Internet of Things

 The Internet of Things is the invention of the blue-sky dullards of around 10 years ago. I found a remarkable and depressing document, published by the World Economic Forum in 2015, entitled ‘Industrial Internet of Things’ – in collaboration with Accenture. Accenture? Who, who? (One of those evil corporations that hired all the clever undergraduates on graduation. Bluesman Robert Johnson in the 1990s: “I went down to McKinsey: Got down on my knees…” – that’s the song Crossroads if you don’t recognise it.) The WEF’s tagline on this document is ‘Committed to Improving the State of the World’. (Nice bit of trickery with language there. Notice how the world state hides in plain sight.)

The WEF did not claim to invent the term ‘The Internet of Things’. But it was terribly excited about it. It will “bring unprecedented opportunities”. But hang on. What is this thing, the Internet of Things? Here is a definition from p. 3:

Technological change [which] will combine the global reach of the internet with a new ability to directly control the physical world, including the machines, factories and infrastructure that define the modern landscape.

In short, “massive volumes of data”, “improved operational efficiency”, “collaboration between humans and machines”, It is a cross between Open AI, Amazon and Siri, then: and of course ornamented by the Chinese Social Credit system. It will result, says the WEF, in an “outcome economy”. Ever heard of that? There will no longer be products, it boldly claims, only “outcome-based services” that “deliver measurable results to customers”. In order to get whatever this means in practice, they say we need more “cybersecurity”, and, above all, more “interoperability”. Yes, indeed. “Industries, government and academia need to collaborate.” Oh, they do, do they?

The pamphlet is strewn with hopeful dross from various CEOs: “The Internet of Things is a ground zero for a new phase of global transformation…” And, a bit illiterately: “The Internet of Things is everything that has been promised to be.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Controligarchs: Control freaks and billionaires who think the world is overpopulated

 Oligarchs are typically extremely wealthy people with a close relationship with the government. Recently we’ve heard the term “Big Tech oligarchs” referring to the wealthiest in Silicon Valley, Bruner explained.

What makes Controligarchs different from oligarchs is that they really do want to control every aspect of our lives.

“These people have like a god complex but on steroids,” Bruner said.

Of the 3,100 or so billionaires in the world, there’s only about 30 in this book [Controligarchs] … People like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, George Soros … and his son Alex Soros – these guys use their wealth to do not-so-great things,” Bruner told host of First Things Mark Bauerlein.

He crunched the numbers and found that these billionaires in some cases have doubled their net worth since the beginning of 2020. “Mark Zuckerberg went from $60 billion or so to almost $120 billion today through the pandemic because everyone was locked down, stayed at home and was scrolling through Facebook … and Jeff Bezos close to doubled his net worth,” he said.

It’s not surprising that while small businesses were closed and schools were closed etc. online businesses would soar. But what is surprising is Bill Gates and his takeover of farmland.

“They used the pandemic, in the words of Klaus Schwab the World Economic Forum founder, as an opportunity. The pandemic was an opportunity to rejigger society and ‘build back better’ in a ‘greener’ way,” Bruner said.

“People didn’t really understand in July 2020 when Klaus Schwab announced ‘The Great Reset’ what a pandemic had to do with climate change. But we’re starting to see that ‘climate change’ is just the next crisis they want to leverage as an opportunity to not just get richer but to construct systems of tyrannical control.”

The systems of tyrannical control, Bruner explained, include food control, energy control, electric vehicles, cell or mobile phones, the Internet of Things, smart cities and financial control....<<<Read More>>>...

Apple takes legal action in UK data privacy row

 Apple is taking legal action to try to overturn a demand made by the UK government to view its customers’ private data if required.

The BBC understands that the US technology giant has appealed to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, an independent court with the power to investigate claims against the Security Service.

It is the latest development in an unprecedented row between one of the world’s biggest tech firms and the UK government over data privacy.

In January, Apple was issued with a secret order by the Home Office to share encrypted data belonging to Apple users around the world with UK law enforcement in the event of a potential national security threat.

Data protected by Apple’s standard level of encryption is still accessible by the company if a warrant is issued, but the firm cannot view or share data encrypted using its toughest privacy tool, Advanced Data Protection (ADP).

ADP is an opt-in feature and it is not known how many people use it.

Last week, Apple chose to remove ADP from the UK market rather than comply with the notice, which would involve creating a “backdoor” in the tool to create access.

Apple said at the time that it would never compromise its security features and it was disappointed at having to take the action in the UK.

The UK’s order also angered the US administration with President Donald Trump describing it to The Spectator as “something that you hear about with China”.

Tulsi Gabbard, US head of intelligence, said she had not been informed in advance about the UK’s demand.

She wrote in a letter that it was an “egregious violation” of US citizens’ rights to privacy and added that she intended to find out whether it breached the terms of a legal data agreement between the US and the UK.

The FT, which first revealed Apple’s legal action, reports that the tribunal case could be heard in the next few weeks, but may not be made public.

The Home Office refused to confirm or deny that the notice issued in January exists. Legally, this order cannot be made public.

But a spokesperson said: “More broadly, the UK has a longstanding position of protecting our citizens from the very worst crimes, such as child sex abuse and terrorism, at the same time as protecting people’s privacy....<<<Read More>>>...

COLLAPSE: Norway’s government folds under green tyranny pressure from EU energy policy

 Norway’s coalition government has collapsed in a dramatic showdown over energy policy, marking a pivotal moment in the Nordic nation’s relationship with the European Union. The Euroskeptic Center Party, led by Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum, withdrew its support for Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store’s Labor Party government, citing irreconcilable differences over EU energy regulations. The move leaves Store leading a minority government until elections in September, but it also underscores a growing tension between national sovereignty and the pressures of European integration. 

At the heart of the dispute is the EU’s fourth energy package, adopted in 2019 under the banner of “clean energy for all Europeans.” The package aims to boost renewable energy, improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions while establishing a “robust governance system” for energy markets across the bloc. While Norway is not an EU member, it is bound by many of the bloc’s rules through its membership in the European Economic Area (EEA). This arrangement has long been a source of contention for the Center Party, which views the EU’s energy policies as a threat to Norway’s autonomy and economic stability. ...<<<Read More>>>...

Europe’s car industry is collapsing due to the European Union’s “green” agenda; von der Leyen says she wants to reach the “net zero” targets faster

 Europe’s car industry is collapsing, primarily because of the European Commission’s “green” agenda and arrogance in failing to admit it is making a “mistake” going down this path.

As if she is some sort of saviour, Ursula von der Leyen launched a “Competitiveness Compass” and promised to trim down many of the Commission’s environmental, social and governance-inspired regulations However, it is merely more propaganda.

Regarding the net zero targets, “We stay the course. The goals are cast in stone,” von der Leyen said. “The goals stay, the objective stays, but we want to reach it better and faster. And for that, we have to reduce complexity.”...<<<Read More>>>...

When governments, corporations, and elitists PROFIT from an ongoing crisis, that’s what reality becomes — a series of never-ending crises of global proportions

 Most of the cash cow rackets in this world wouldn’t work if naïve people did not support them with their money and emotions. Through fake news, advertising, corrupt medicine and adulterated food, most of the populace is dumbed down and brainwashed into supported and funding their own demise, while the richest people in the world gain more power from it and make lots more money.

The ultimate example of this is the Covid plandemic. Also known as the scamdemic, the Wuhan virus was one huge fear-mongering campaign that convinced billions of people to surrender their rights, succumb to toxic mandates, and line up for the dirtiest vaccines ever created on the face of the planet.

Through disease and death, the pharma industrial complex made a fortune, killed millions of people, maimed millions of others, and removed many human rights all at the same time. It was also a great awakening for millions of people who finally realized that there ARE governments, corporations, and elitists whose main method of operation is to use crises to gain power and get richer off everyone else’s poor judgement and naivety.

Most of these crises are manufactured or simply fictional, but most of the populace is conned into believing them and supporting them anyway. For example, there is no global warming taking place, and there is no scientific proof of “climate change” that is threatening humankind, the weather, or the food supply.

Still, corrupt politicians and globalists have taken advantage of this hoax, while perpetuating it and propagating it with sensationalized journalism and the assistance of weather-altering technology, also known as weather-weapons. Many of our youth today and young adults believe 100 percent that humans and livestock are responsible for climate change, and that if we don’t give all our money to the richest people on earth, then we will all die by the weather very soon. It’s a sad state of affairs...<<<Read More>>>...

The Imperative of Critical Thinking in an Age of Institutional Power and AI

 Whatever the design of the particular institution, all institutions and all institutional functions are or have become, oligarchical collectivists to one degree or another. No matter the label, which often suffices to keep people in a limited mindset on definitions and thereby lacking critical comprehension, all isms are oligarchical collectivism. The best way to comprehend institutions and institutional functions is to measure the institutional slant, the steepness of the degree of oligarchical collectivism. Institutional slant is as certain as Lord Acton’s Rule; the more power, the more likelihood of corruption. And so, it is our responsibility to be more critical of the information delivered by any institutional entity, including AI.

“I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favourable presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases. Historic responsibility has to make up for the want of legal responsibility. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” ~Lord Acton

The best way to understand institutions among individuals is to observe the steepness of the institutional slant. The more individuals are repressed within and outside of the institution, the steeper the oligarchical collectivism. Labels and titles beyond this are mostly for conversation, not comprehension....<<<Read More>>>...

Controligarchs: Control freaks and billionaires who think the world is overpopulated

 Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, joined the First Things podcast to discuss his new book ‘Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life’.
