Marxism and Shia Islam have a core feature in common

 Marx’s theory of immiseration and Twelver Shia eschatology share a common structural feature: both teach that history moves forward only through a period of necessary, progressive worsening, after which a total redemptive inversion suddenly occurs. Everything else follows from that single shared manifesto.

“Redemptive inversion” is the common core. It means the existing order is not improved by degrees; it is completely reversed. Workers’ misery and Islam-defined injustice are inverted into their opposites; that is, Islam-defined perfect justice and workers’ liberation.

In Marxism, the accumulated suffering of the working class under capitalism is inverted into the classless society. In Twelver doctrine, the earth filled with Islam-defined oppression is inverted into the earth filled with Islam-defined justice by the Mahdi. In both systems, the night must first become extremely dark – violently dark – before the dawn can break.

Marx explains the mechanism of that prior darkening in economic terms. In ‘Capital’, he analyses the rising “organic composition of capital” – the growing ratio of constant capital (machines and technology) to variable capital (living labour). As this ratio increases, relatively fewer workers are required. An industrial reserve army of the unemployed expands. That reserve army then “disciplines the working class”: it holds down wages, weakens bargaining power and keeps workers insecure and fragmented.

The result is relative immiseration. Marx’s own formulation is precise: “Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery, the torment of labour, slavery, ignorance, brutalisation and moral degradation at the opposite pole.”...<<<Read More>>>...

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters says the ruling class is steering the ship into the rocks, and ordinary people are the ones who pay

 Roger Waters spent decades warning that the machine grinds on, that walls get built between people who have far more in common than they've been told, and that comfortable numbness is exactly what those in power count on. Now the Pink Floyd co-founder is aiming that same warning at the war in Ukraine, arguing that Western governments and arms manufacturers are steering the world toward catastrophe while the people paying the actual price, on both sides of the front line, are treated as an acceptable cost of doing business. Speaking Monday on Rick Sanchez's The Sanchez Effect, Waters called European proposals to raise NATO military spending to 5 percent of GDP "effing insane," and made clear he sees this conflict the same way he has always seen power: as a machine that runs on money and indifference, and keeps running until ordinary people refuse to feed it any longer.

His comments arrive weeks after a separate, wide-ranging conversation with Tucker Carlson, in which the musician questioned the official 9/11 narrative and described a culture of enforced silence that punished anyone who dared to ask questions....<<<Read More>>>...

DARPA’s Prometheus: When computer models, not symptoms, become the basis for quarantine

In 2016, DARPA launched the Prometheus programme to develop a test that predicts whether a person will become contagious from an infectious disease within 24 hours of exposure, even before symptoms appear.

By identifying minimal sets of biological biomarkers – such as messenger RNA and immune-response proteins – the tests would indicate contagiousness, enabling early treatment or quarantine.

Prometheus represents a broader shift in DARPA’s biotechnology portfolio toward using computer models and predictive analytics, rather than actual symptoms.

As Jon Fleetwood explains below, this raises many concerning questions.

It also raises broader questions about how governments may increasingly rely on computer models – rather than observable clinical evidence – to make drastic public health determinations.

It also raises obvious questions: What happens when a computer says you’re contagious but you have no symptoms? 

Could governments eventually quarantine or medically intervene based on that prediction?

And if the computer is wrong, how would you ever prove it?

DARPA summarised the programme’s objective in unusually direct language. According to the agency’s Prometheus webpage: “The Prometheus programme aims to improve military readiness and force health through development of a prognostic that can determine if an individual is contagious before he exhibits symptoms of illness.”

The agency further explained: “DARPA’s goal is to develop a molecular test for determining if an individual is likely to spread disease following exposure to an infectious agent and predict within 24 hours of exposure if that individual will become contagious.”

According to DARPA, the capability would allow military planners to identify potentially contagious individuals before they transmitted disease within the close quarters common in military operations...<<<Read More>>>....

Study of 13,000 adults links six artificial sweeteners to faster brain aging

 A sweeping Brazilian study tracked nearly 13,000 adults for eight years and found six artificial sweeteners linked to faster cognitive decline.

High consumers experienced a 62 percent faster decline in memory and thinking, equivalent to 1.6 years of extra brain aging.

The strongest effects were seen in adults under 60 and people with diabetes.

The problematic sweeteners include aspartame, acesulfame-K, erythritol, saccharin, sorbitol, and xylitol.

Researchers caution the study does not prove causation but raises serious questions about artificial sweetener safety.

A sweeping Brazilian study that tracked nearly 13,000 adults for eight years has landed like a bombshell on the health food industry, revealing that six common artificial sweeteners are linked to faster cognitive decline and memory loss. Published in the journal Neurology, the research followed 12,772 participants with an average age of 52 and measured their thinking skills over time. The findings should alarm anyone who believes swapping sugar for chemical substitutes is a harmless health hack.

Participants in the study who consumed the highest amounts of artificial sweeteners averaged 191 milligrams per day, compared to just 20 milligrams for those in the lowest intake group. The difference in cognitive decline between these two groups was dramatic. People in the high-consumption category experienced a 62 percent faster decline in overall thinking and memory abilities. Researchers calculated this drop in brain function was roughly equal to an extra 1.6 years of brain aging.....<<<Read More>>>...

UK’s Net Zero costs are soaring out of control

In the following article, David Turver demonstrates how the UK electricity grid expansion for Clean Power 2030 is in chaos. Costs are exploding and projects are massively delayed.

When the National Energy System Operator (“NESO”) produced their plan to deliver Ed Miliband’s Clean Power 2030 (“CP2030”) goal, they said that all the planned transmission grid expansion works must be built on time and that “involves twice as much in the next five years as was built in total over the last decade.” From the outset, delivering on that part of CP2030 was always a tall order.

I have been contacted by several people over the past few weeks highlighting several issues that indicate these ambitious plans (some may say fantastical) will probably not be achieved. For those of us sceptical of Net Zero generally and Clean Power 2030 in particular, this represents both good news and bad news.

First, the good news: Slipping schedules means they will not spend all the money earmarked for grid expansion, which ought to mean our bills do not go up as much as feared. The bad news is that, based on the limited data available, it looks like the costs of this work are soaring out of control.

Let’s dig into the details, beginning with the bad news so that we can end on a high note....<<<Read More>>>...

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

 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.

In 1973, five years before Todd spoke at the Elkton Maryland Baptist Church, there was an oil crisis, which was caused by an embargo by Arab oil-producing nations in response to US support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War.

There had been a decades-long struggle between the governments of oil-producing nations and the large US oil conglomerates for control over the global oil market. Until the 1970s, OPEC, formed in 1960, had kept a relatively low profile, mainly negotiating with international oil companies for better terms for its member countries. OPEC saw the Yom Kippur War as a way to make its geopolitical power known and to strike a blow at the US oil giants.

Also in 1973, the world economy was in recession and the Bretton Woods international monetary system was formally ended. The Bretton Woods international monetary system was established in July 1944 at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire....<<<Read More>>>...

Met Office Heatwave Records Are Based on Junk Stations

 The Met Office is claiming that this year is the first time temperatures of 35°C and higher have been recorded on six days. But the claims are a reflection of poorly sited weather stations, not climate change.

For the last year or so, the Daily Sceptic has been warning about the increasing reliance of the Met Office on junk weather stations, which are so poorly sited that they can overestimate real temperatures by as much as five degrees. At the latest count, 88% of the Met Office’s 400 sites fall into this category....<<<Read More>>>.... 

UN created a global disinformation task force; now it’s taking control of information through “AI governance”

In 2024, the UN created a new task force on disinformation. This task force is not about addressing misinformation or disinformation that would lead to any type of real-world truth. Its sole purpose is to focus on how certain information would affect achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030).

Last week, the UN held a “Global Dialogue on AI Governance.”

The task force and AI governance are linked in their desire to control the information the public is allowed to see under the guise of safeguarding information integrity.

AI is eroding information integrity while weakening “the shared reality required for public trust, social cohesion and democratic deliberation,” according to the United Nations (“UN”) preliminary scientific report on artificial intelligence....<<<Read More>>>...

Met Office Claims Another Temperature Record – in an Overgrown Backyard

 Last Monday, the Daily Sceptic revealed how the Met Office claims of “record temperatures” during the recent heatwave were more likely the result of poor siting than climate change. The highest temperature occurred at one of its Class 5 junk stations, Santon Downham in Norfolk.

The same day, the Met Office belatedly discovered an even higher temperature during the hot spell three days earlier. A private back garden in Lingwood near Norwich had, we were assured, recorded a temperature of 37.7C.

Police Must Stop Engaging in “Woke” Culture Wars, Says Major Government-Backed Report

 Police must stop engaging in “woke” culture wars and “preferencing certain groups” and focus instead on catching criminals, a major Government-backed review has concluded. The Telegraph has more.

The damning report into failings in police leadership said bosses must be “resolute” in “refusing to take sides” and not be diverted from “focusing entirely on the prevention, detection and prosecution of crime”.

Amid renewed scrutiny over ‘two-tier policing‘, police leaders are accused of “preferencing certain groups” in the review, which is one of the most thorough examinations of the force ever undertaken.

Lord Blunkett, the former Labour home secretary who co-chaired the report, said there was “no room for culture wars or woke” causes in policing. “The idea that people should be diverted onto other issues is entirely wrong,” he said.

A commission was set up by the College of Policing with the support of the Home Office, in the wake of a series of scandals, including the rape and murder of Sarah Everard by serving Metropolitan Pc Wayne Couzens.

Its report, published on Monday, called for a “reset” of police culture after finding evidence of ineffective and corrupt leadership, nepotism, poor training and a lack of support for front-line officers.

The murder of Henry Nowak, a student who was handcuffed by police as he lay dying because his killer, Vickrum Digwa, who is Sikh, lied about being racially abused by the teenager, has renewed the debate around two-tier policing in Britain.

Amid the public outcry over the treatment of Nowak, police chiefs announced a review of their guidance that suggested “racial equity” did not mean “treating everyone the same or being colour blind”....<<<Read More>>>....

Food for Thought #1158

 

SignalTrace: Licence plate cameras will soon track phones, digital wearables and even your pet

 SignalTrace is a surveillance platform that is being marketed to law enforcement and government agencies in the United States. It allows the collection of data from various personal digital devices, including smartphones and smartwatches, carried or worn by people associated with a particular vehicle.

The goal of the technology is to “bridge the gap between vehicle and occupant,” creating a unique electronic fingerprint to follow people’s movements and associations.

They are no longer interested in tracking your car. They are interested in tracking you.

In 2024, a patent was granted to Leonardo, a leading global aerospace, defence, security and surveillance company, for an electronic detection system designed to help law enforcement identify people of interest using the signatures their electronic devices emit, such as fitness trackers, RFID tags and local signals from their mobile phones.

This technology underpins the ELSAG SignalTrace Intelligence System, which Leonardo is marketing to police, border security and other government agencies in the United States.

SignalTrace “bridges license plate recognition data with sensor-captured device identifiers – such as those from mobile phones, Bluetooth wearables, and vehicle systems – to create a unique, trackable ‘electronic fingerprint’ for investigative use,” according to an advertisement flyer.

The idea is to correlate these unique device identifiers to a vehicle license plate, 404 Media said. Putting it more succinctly, The Drive said, “License plate cameras will soon track phones, wearables, infotainment and even your pets.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The oligarchs’ primary front organisation are national governments

 A functional oligarchy is where economic elites and organised business groups have significant influence on government policy, while average citizens have little to no independent influence.

As Iain Davis explains, many countries, whether they are capitalist or communist, are now “governed” by a functional oligarchy, the same oligarchy. This is the One World Government.

Oligarchy is a very old system of governance and one we have never really escaped. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle stated that oligarchy (oligarchia) becomes the governance system “when men of property have government in their hands.” Today, we define “oligarchy” as “government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.” When oligarchs exercise political power by virtue of their wealth, we call it “plutocracy.”

A branch of political science called “Elite Theory” has tried to justify the plutocracy of contemporary oligarchs. Generally, however, both plutocracy and oligarchy are considered pejorative terms.

We are told that we live in “representative democracies” precisely because oligarchy is widely viewed as unacceptable. Despite the fact that “representative democracy” is the antithesis of democracy, the purported virtues of our fake democracies are constantly extolled simply to convince us that we don’t live in oligarchies. Political science, though, clearly reveals that we do....<<<Read More>>>...

White British students now a minority at 27 UK universities, data shows

 White British students are now a minority at 27 UK universities, more than double the number a decade ago.

At least ten universities with white minority enrollment still offer race-based scholarships worth up to £23,000 a year.

Critics call these BAME scholarships racial discrimination and demand their immediate abolition.

White working-class students remain among the least likely to attend university, with under 3 percent at Oxford and Cambridge.

Critics argue students should be judged on talent, not skin color.

White British students have become a minority at 27 of the United Kingdom's 147 universities during the 2024-25 academic year, according to a Telegraph analysis of official higher education figures. That figure has more than doubled from just 13 institutions a decade earlier, representing a dramatic demographic shift across British higher education that raises serious questions about fairness, representation, and the future of race-based policies on campus....<<<Read More>>>...

Renewable Energy Will Impoverish Humanity

The modern world and the rich, free lives it brought are both dying in Britain. Energy consumption has fallen by about 30% since 2005 and electricity consumption by about 23%, both due to climate policy costs, and particularly that of renewable energy, subsidies to which amount to £25 billion a year, 40% of the total cost of electricity supply. Insofar as we are maintaining our standard of living, we do so by borrowing and importing the goods of fossil- and nuclear-fuelled Asia. That borrowing cannot continue indefinitely, and an abrupt reversal in distressed circumstances is all but certain, with the consequence that wind and solar are not only a threat to British prosperity, but to any realistic hope of reducing emissions.

To get out of this mess we must remind ourselves of the relationship between fuel quality and wealth, and act in accordance with those realities.

Stand anywhere in the world and starting from your skin look out and around you. Even in the remotest wildlands the environment will have been modified to suit your interests. Layers of intricate textile shield you against weather. In your backpack you have a container with pure water, clean and concentrated food, and in your pocket an electronic device that can send and receive signals as part of a worldwide network. The hills may be bathed in brilliant sunshine and clear air but also in manmade electromagnetic fields permitting you to establish your location, to summon help, to interrogate databases to identify any unusual flower or bird, to call your friends to let them know of your discovery or distribute photographs....<<<Read More>>>....

New Hope in the Battle Against Digital Surveillance and Control

 A stricter version of Australia’s social media ban – the first in the world – has been announced in the UK, with device-level surveillance similar to spyware and ID verification for all smartphone users. As governments around the world are following suit, the digital dilemma crystallises into some very practical questions most of us will soon have to face.

Digital ID is on the doorstep, bringing the prospect of unprecedented tracking of our actions and the possibility of being excluded from services we need and like. If you’ve realised that simply giving in and going along will only create more problems – the compliance fallacy – considering the steps to take, both on an individual and collective level, is unavoidable.

And there’s some good news: a new digital rights movement is coming into being.

Refusal is the first and most obvious response. Without personal information from the majority of the population, digital ID systems simply can’t work. But non-compliance is more complex than just saying no and forcing the authorities to back down. Though, following the public outcry, the Government has shelved plans for mandatory digital ID, it’s continuing to introduce digital ID by stealth, working group by group, gradually taking more and more of us into its net. The main examples in the UK are the digitalisation of passport and driving licence applications and the tax system.

Refusing to participate in these systems is fairly straightforward. It involves sticking to paper systems which public bodies have to provide because there are millions of people in the UK who lack access to computers, phone or who don’t have the skills to navigate digital systems. Paper forms and a trip to the Post Office avoid the need to use an online account.

The demand by Companies House that company directors must verify their identity digitally, a process which involves giving a 3D scan of your face – proper biometrics of the kind used in facial recognition – is of a different order since compulsion is involved. It’s a clear breach of the principle of consent, a kind of data version of vaccine passports. But since it’s backed by law, refusal calls for a deeper level of non-compliance. And so the new digital coercion generates a complex and evolving picture as people respond in different ways to a new kind of threat....<<<Read More>>>..

The Government is Ignoring the Harms of Smartphone Radiation

 Should the Government really ban social media for under-16s? The recent debate on the negative effects on children of smartphones and screens has aroused strong feelings on all sides, but some highly relevant facts have been completely ignored.

Armed with recent research on the behavioural effects of engaging electronically, as well as the damaging effects of social media content, campaigners such as Health Professionals for Safer Screens have been making their voices heard in Parliament and now a social media ban has been announced. But the objections to this are many: children could easily circumvent the ban; it might be seen as unwanted state interference in matters which concern parents only; the need for age verification may make it easier for the Government to sneak in digital ID.

My question is: is proper debate really possible, when certain facts have been completely and consistently swept under the carpet? The facts I refer to are the result of decades of scientific research which suggest that electromagnetic fields (EMFs), including wireless radiation from smartphones and other sources, have a negative impact on health. Politicians seem averse to engaging with the scientific evidence on this.

Six years ago, for example, the Broadband and Road to 5G inquiry, set up by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, invited submissions and received 147 of them. In its report, the committee seemed to imply that the negative health effects of EMFs detailed in 78 of these submissions were “conspiracy theories” and, though robust evidence was cited in most submissions, the committee failed to report on them and was content to ignore 51% of the written evidence (more details here). When there is clear evidence of health risks, why will policymakers not engage?

Now, however, there is another chance for politicians to engage with robust, modern and independent science that might, admittedly, stand in the way of their goals, but is, in fact, crucial for public health protection....<<<Read More>>>...

The Rape Gang Inquiry Report: The state not only ignored whistle-blowers; it punished them

 The Rape Gang Inquiry heard testimonies from whistle-blowers who said that they were silenced, discredited and punished by authorities for exposing the rape gangs and their crimes.

Punishment of whistle-blowers included suspension, defamation proceedings, dawn raids and imprisonment.

Meanwhile, members of Muslim rape gangs, which the establishment likes to refer to as “grooming gangs,” were allowed to continue offending with little to no consequence.

Last year, Rupert Lowe MP (Restore Britain) launched a campaign to raise funds to hold an independent national inquiry into the UK’s Muslim rape gangs. This year, the victim-led Rape Gang Inquiry was held, during which testimonies from victims, parents, carers, politicians, a variety of experts and whistle-blowers were heard over ten days, from 2 February to 12 February.

On 16 June 2026, the Inquiry released its report. “The Rape Gang Inquiry has now concluded the first phase of its work,” the report states, and notes the “next steps” on page 179. “This report sets out findings and makes clear recommendations for how the problem of rape gangs can be eradicated.”

“Every witness who volunteered their testimony – whether survivor, parent, whistle-blower, politician or expert – showed courage that made this Inquiry possible,” the report acknowledged.

“Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail. Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistle-blowers.”

Speaking of abusive police action. Not only have police criminalised the victims, but there have been instances where police have targeted parents while they are trying to rescue their children from the rape gangs...<<<Read More>>>...

Why Virology Is the Greatest Psyop of Our Time

We consider it likely this post will not remain for very long as it possibly will offend the Blogger Community ... and therefore because it contravenes their guidelines on truth about vaccines, it will be removed. Keep note of the link at the bottom of the article ....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

The myth of infectious disease caused by viruses is the most successful psychological operation ever waged against humanity. It is not a science -- it is a belief system propped up by circular reasoning, censorship, and institutional intimidation.

Mainstream search engines and AI engines now refuse to answer simple questions like “List the common symptoms of arsenic poisoning and Ebola.” When I tested this, the AI called my query “unethical.” Here’s why this matters: if the story of contagious viruses were true, there would be no need to hide such basic comparisons.

The entire germ theory of disease rests on the claim that invisible entities jump from person to person, causing illness. Yet as Dr. Thomas Cowan and Sally Fallon Morell document in their book “The Contagion Myth,” no one has ever satisfied Koch’s postulates for any so-called virus. The evidence simply does not exist. What we have instead is a massive propaganda machine that labels any questioning of the narrative as “misinformation.” That is the hallmark of a psyop, not a genuine scientific inquiry. 

The AI engine's refusal to list common symptoms shared by arsenic poisoning and Ebola infections wasn't about safety. It is about protecting the myth that Ebola is a unique, contagious entity. If both conditions cause hemorrhage, fever, and organ failure, the obvious conclusion is that the same toxic exposure could be responsible for many reported cases, especially as arsenic contamination is extremely common in water wells in the very African nations where we are told Ebola "outbreaks" occur. The establishment cannot allow that connection to be made.

As I have previously reported, the censorship of simple comparative questions reveals the fragility of the entire virology narrative. Finn Heartley, in a NaturalNews.com investigation titled “Virology exposed: New evidence reveals no viruses exist,” documents how the CDC’s germ theory collapses under scrutiny. The guardrails exist because the establishment knows that once people start connecting the dots, the entire virus story falls apart. This is psychological warfare designed to keep you dependent on a system that profits from your fear....<<<Read More>>>....

The Middle Ages, "enlightenment," and propaganda

History is rewritten and dictated by the victors. The history we have been force fed concerning the middle ages is nothing more than a series of fables. There is the problem with 1000 years been added into the dates of history, 1000 years that means 2026 is really 1026; 1650 for example was really 650. There is no way to ever know what really took place in the middle ages.  

 ++++++++++++++++++++

It's often seemingly hopeless to try to convince people that the Middle Ages was anything other than the caricature often found in popular culture and eighteenth-century commentary. 

As historian Ralph Raico has noted, other than the Industrial Revolution, there is probably no historical topic in which the general public is more propagandized and more generally wrong than the topic of the Middle Ages. 

Raico has described how no matter how often he told his students that medieval princes and kings were subject to the law, and constrained in their powers by a variety of religious and political institutions, his students overwhelmingly stated in exams that medieval lords ruled as autocrats.

Although the general public still thinks of the Middle Ages in terms of images from popular culture, actual historians have long since moved on. This is partly why historians virtually never use the term "the Dark Ages" anymore. And if the term is used, it refers only to the early Middle Ages, due to the fact that there is a dearth of documentary and textual evidence from that time period. The High Middle Ages — the time of the great cathedrals and urbanization in Europe — was hardly a Dark Age, of course, and the idea that the Middle Ages was a time of unchanging stagnation was jettisoned long ago....<<<Read More>>>...
