Central government plans to "devolve powers" to Councils by merging District Councils (how does that work again?) are running into legal actions.

"Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Hampshire councils have set out their intention to launch judicial reviews, while Devon, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire have warned they may do so"

In my own county past efforts to save money by cooperation between neighbouring councils were abandoned - so I'm not convinced that central government have both thought through the practical implications, and decided on the amalgamations strictly on the basis of the benefits expected to accrue to residents.

Barbara O'Neill spells it out (and maybe outs the spell!) - on top form here as usual.

Mark Attwood and Theo van Dort.

It takes a while to get started, but it makes you think.

And there's an unrelated but significant bonus of indigenous wisdom along the way...

Mandating any therapeutic medicine to be added to food automatically negates the "informed consent" rule, in my book.

It should therefore be challenged as illegal.

Good luck with that.

Still, nobody it seems can agree on how much "folic acid" (ie: artificial folic acid) we should be medicated with, so one seems entitled to ask "where is the science here?".

Or is it just an absurd self-serving merry-go-round?

"We are the government, therefore we must legislate - it's what we do".

And if we the people don't call them to account, that's what they will continue to do.

Or should that be the salt of the sea? And if so, which sea??

As we may have come to expect, some think that the official guidance leaves much to be desired and indeed much unsaid.

"A Midwestern Doctor" sets out to nail some of the more glaring omissions.

So is the official guidance "worth its salt"?

Mark Attwood talks to Shaun Attwood, both in their own way well-qualified conspiracy theorists, so if that's not your bag, what are you doing on this site?!

Seriously though, it's a bit slow to start but but it warms up nicely. A lot of ground is covered, some of which probably is new to somebody.

And hey, it's all conspiracy theories so make of them what you will. And if YT doesn't take this one down then we really are in new territory...

This video seems quite recent, judging by the efforts of the Powers that Be to create conditions of famine.

Make of it what you will - your sure to learn something new, even if only about chemtrails in unsuspected high places...

Whether an artificial or merely a natural satellite of remarkable properties, the moon seems to exert a most disproportionate influence on the Earth's inhabitants, and indeed on our folklore!

The video runs through these as though there was a time before the moon, presenting a fascinating picture - after all, what would be the implications for us if we awoke one morning to find that it was mysteriously... no longer here ..?

Well, plenty of people have made careers in politics and become wealthy (somehow - or maybe they were already wealthy).

But of how many politicians can we say that they actually made an improvement for the nation?

Of how many can we say that they delivered on their promises?

In practice the mark of a successful politician is that they are well-regarded by people who take little other than tribal interest in politics, can spout the Party Line incessantly with conviction on any subject, and can fail to get themselves rejected at the ballot box given the immense backing of a major political party.

But what do I know? I only stood for Parliament twice, and on each occasion I failed to find any evidence that the Post Office had delivered any of my leaflets (other than the one that had my own name and address on it - that arrived very promptly

Make of this what you will.

For me, it reminds me that Tartaria was apparently run on free energy "from the atmosphere" - whatever that meant - and was destroyed shortly (in historical terms) before Tesla did his research.

Hmmmm...

Regular readers will be familiar with the work of Martin Geddes.

On the verge of what we must all hope and pray is indeed a Great Awakening of Humanity to end the Great Deceit of Humanity, and thereby usher in a new World Order whose natural state is control by the common man from the bottom up, rather than control by the self-appointed elite from the top down, we find Martin in reflective mood, reviewing his place in a world gradually (and perchance then suddenly!) changing beyond anyone's expectation.

We might be wise to join him. We may all be in the same boat soon enough. And he from the start was on board with the Q phenomenon that has been perhaps the sheet anchor that held the whole extraordinary process together. At a minimum he pioneered the UK response to the project, and he has continued to pioneer the epistemology of failing systems (of which there seems to be no current shortage).

Perhaps mischievously he asked ChatGPT to comment on his

Rich Does Politics is a very necessary channel.

He serves to introduce the public to the weird world that has been revealed to those of us who were prepared to think outside our habitual box, despite the concomitant unsettling disruption to our long held and familiar world-view.

Revelation was never going to be an easy process, but Rich has eased a great many along this tortuous path with great humour and humanity. 

Here he elaborates on how he has approached that process, and summarises where we now are along the way.

Welcome to Weird!

Most of us probably think we know.

But what really do we know?

I am leaning heavily these days toward the Socratic tradition - 'the only thing I know is that I know nothing".

So may we all soon enough...

Those without imagination (unless you're an AI) should probably skip this - those with imagination might feel led to reach for a wet towel...

... this has progressed way beyond the capabilities of a couple of blokes with a plank.

So what's behind it all?

And who is it that's actually doing the learning?

Love him or hate him, Dominic Cummings is not afraid to tell it how he sees it - and he has seen it from very close up indeed.

But welcome or not, his overall thesis is exactly the same as ours - fish rots from the head down and the rot at the UK's leading institutions is (failing some sort of unexpected prodigious and imminent miracle) both completely entrenched and entirely terminal.

Go figure.

I had a Christian (C of E) upbringing, but from what one might call a social / traditional / practical rather than a religious perspective. We didn't discuss the Bible at home and we didn't say our prayers religiously before bed, although we did on occasion say a perfunctory "grace" before meals.

As a teenager I felt that the Church as an institution was a bit dyed-in-the-wool, that there was little point in dressing up the choir in cassock and surplice and processing in and out, and that there was too much blind faith and not enough real thought about the meaning of Christianity (and don't get me started on Heaven and Hell and Christ as a sacrifice to appease God the Father for our human failings... in the inevitable words of Dr Heinz Kiosk: "We Are ALL GUILTY!" ).

What kind of religion is that?
