  • Ivor Introduces Brian - The Truth About Meat

    2024-04-11

    I doubt that this will please those of a religious vegan persuasion, but maybe it's time to redress the balance.

    I have no intention to recommend any specific diet for anyone, as I suspect that just as "one size fits all" doesn't work, in a world of humans in such infinite variation, neither does "one diet fits all". We must all make our own dietary choices if we wish to remain healthy and defy others' expectations of an old age of crumbling health, and it's no business of anybody else what we eat, within legal bounds.

    No reasonable options should be taken off the table.

  • The Fight Against Climate Change Moves Up a Notch

    2024-04-11

    Safety Warning: Please don your tin-foil hat to protect your sanity before reading on.

    In order to protect the world from "Global Warming" (that according to the "overwhelming consensus of climate scientists" is certainly caused by us releasing CO2 into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels), it turns out that spraying chemtrails into the atmosphere is being done in order to reduce global warming by blocking the sunlight...

    And what the heck has Bill Gates got to do with any of this anyway? Perhaps he's working on a new quaxxine to protect against the cold once we can't see the sun anymore and we are not allowed to burn anything that creates CO2?

  • Down the Rabbit Hole to .. the Vedas and Great Tartary!

    2024-04-07

    Readers unfamiliar with our "Down the Rabbit Hole" series may like to view some of the earlier articles here, starting with nbr 1. Many may consider these propositions extreme, but the question is, can they be disproved?

    Could they be possible, and if so, what would be the implications? 

    If the implications would be trivial, then who cares? But if they would be earth-shaking, perhaps we should take note.

    That said, the ancient writings such as the Bible certainly do exist, and some have been translated.

    As always it depends on your point of view...

  • Dr Shiva Meets Ivor Cummins ...!

    2024-04-06

    Dr Shiva Ayyadurai, US presidential candidate, systems expert, and general thorn in the side of the US/Global elite, meets Ivor Cummins - is this the ultimate clash of the opinionated?

    "Dr. Shiva is on fire! Super smart guy but he takes NO prisoners - get seated securely and strap yourself in for this one!"

    I can't think of a more interesting pair of great minds to address the greatest issues of our time, in what is working up to be this year of greatest global upheaval of our time, so this has got to be right up there with the "Do not miss this" greatest presentations that we have had the privilege to bring to you.

    Enjoy!

  • Capitalism Has Already Ended - What Comes Next?

    2024-04-05

    And is "what comes next" already here?

    Today we feature the only modern economist worth listening to, or at least the cream of the cream of such a grouping should there be more than one.

    As befits an economist, he also has an unmatched understanding of modern politics and geopolitics, since politics and economics are in effect two sides of the same coin, and both disciplines rely on the understanding of the motivations of the masses.

    Yanis Varoufakis learned his trade the hard way as Finance Minister of Greece when the EU famously "bailed out" the Greek banks from their banking crisis - some suggest not ultimately to the benefit of the Greek people, but to enable the Greek banks to meet their obligations to other EU banks.

    He has also authored some very readable books on economics/politics 😎.

    The German Government has blown the lid off the pandemic narrative:

    "Hospital occupancy in Germany fell to an all-time low in 2020

    "There were no more severe respiratory illnesses than usual in 2020"

    "Corona came, influenza disappeared (Robert Koch Institute (RKI))"

    "Age-standardized mortality was not higher in 2020 than usual"

  • Speech Banned? Placards to the Fore!

    2024-04-02

    Martin Geddes has been to Bonnie Scotland (well, Edinburgh) again, this time to report on the protests about Humza Yousaf, now First Minister of Scotland and widely associated with a recent innovation in Scottish Law that some feel may hamper "free speech" in Scotland. 

    It's a cracking report, with a goodly selection of placards that survived the wet weather remarkably well. I defy you to keep a straight face!

    I also think that the lessons he draws are very pertinent:

    "If you accept one lie as truth, it will be leveraged to allow any deception to become doctrine"

    Enjoy the show!

     

  • It's Our Call, and Nobody Else's

    2024-04-02

    I gave up being a religious person a long time ago. "Spiritual" and "Religious" are words with variable meanings depending on your life experience - how are they to be interpreted?

    Why is the notion of "sacred" religiously excluded from all "science"?

    If science means anything it means "to know"... to know the truth about how the universe in which we find ourselves, the universe of which we ourselves are very much a part, how this universe actually works - and if matters sacred exist here at all, then an understanding of "sacred" is surely an intrinsic part of the "science"?

    Do such questions have answers? If so, where are they to be found?

    I don't always relate to "Stop World Control" because I normally find him too hectoring, too "in your face", maybe a bit too "melodramatic" to be persuasive, but at the same time I don't doubt his authenticity or his motivation - these are times to try

  • A Soliloquy for our Age

    2024-03-23

    Martin Geddes reviews his path of enlightenment, and shares his deductions with us.

    I doubt you would find such wisdom expressed so cogently at your local pulpit (but I wouldn't discount it altogether - " the Lord works in mysterious ways ").

    However, I'm not going to try to introduce this for you, it will either speak to you, or it won't.

    Take it slowly...

     

  • Geddes Grinds the Traffic Tribunals

    2024-03-23

    Martin shares with us his latest broadside against the Traffic Tribunals system and Transport for London (see his previous notes here).

    At the heart of this case is the notion that "traffic tribunals" operate as kangaroo courts outside the justice system and in so doing may ignore both the statute book and constitutional law.

    Today's broadside is a legal notice to either come clean or pay up. They have a limited time to respond.

     

  • The New Corporate Panopticon

    2024-03-22

    When I started work back in the antediluvian 19xx's, every company had a Personnel Department. 

    Now no corporation has a Personnel Department, they have "Human Resources". Like we get mined out of the ground by huge machines somewhere remote where the pollution and habitat destruction doesn't matter, and the "produce" gets shipped in disgusting conditions aboard slave ships to France, from whence it makes its own perilous way across the Channel in cheap-as-chips expendable inflatables, to disappear across the dunes to populate the UK shadow economy... no names, no pack drill, no employer's NI.

    OK, perhaps I exaggerate slightly (but have you been to the slave mines yourself to check with your own eyes? No? Who are you to argue then?).

    C.J. Strachan (pseudonym) (an "HR Professional", so he should know) tells us exactly how it is in HR these days.

  • Down the Rabbit Hole ... with Q

  • A Tale of an Elderly Mishap

    2024-03-09

    So what has become of "our" NHS?

    A cautionary tale indeed, and some good advice to boot.

    "State-nominated priest is the Noctor. I am surrounded by so many, I no longer remember what all their acronyms mean. Nurse ACP & ANP, non-nurse PA & HCA, Paramedic FCP & AP, etc"

    Of course, you are not supposed to remember what all these TLAs mean. The only truth you need to know is that medicine has now been reduced to the application of protocols appropriate to the symptoms, each with its own specialist expertise and TLA.

    And if you have a handy test that can simply be applied and assumed to be 100% accurate regardless of the circumstances, then so much the better.

    Medicine has been rigorously oversimplified by managerial classes obsessed with reducing waiting times and maximising throughput and efficiency (not to mention simplifying construction of the
