We would all hope so, indeed we should demand so, since nurses need numerical ability in order to get the decimal point in the right place when administering drugs to patients - who may well not think (for any number of reasons) to check their work in this department.

Startlingly, some experienced nursing professionals, writing in the Daily Sceptic, fear that nursing numeracy cannot at all be taken for granted.

"When George Orwell’s Big Brother in Nineteen Eighty-Four taught that two plus two equals five, the point was that authoritarians can make people believe something they know to be untrue. If nurses are innumerate, a pandemic can be presented with whatever numbers that the Government wants to induce fear and compliance"

"Don't be ridiculous!" I hear you say, but - "How many trotted out the mantra about the COVID-19

WTC7 (World Trade Centre 7) collapsed some while after the twin towers (WTC1 and 2) - and it wasn't hit by an airplane. But that's a topic for a different video...

This one is about the twin towers, and reviews a number of the theories that have been proposed to explain the "impossible" collapse, including some that you may never have heard of.

"We are unable to provide a full explanation of the total collapse" 

But did they apply the "scientific method" to confirm their findings?

In a seriously well-argued presentation to a Cambridge Union debate, Laura Dodsworth blesses us by filing her transcript on Substack.

Yes, primarily she has the Covid-type experts in her cross-hairs but the psychology experts in the infamous (and if it's not infamous yet then it should be) nudge unit come in hard on their heels (to mix my metaphors).

It's a polite but uncompromising indictment of government by "experts", but it's also a criticism of the many who, despite all the signals that conflicted with seemingly everything we should have known, still meekly, even gladly, did as we were told.

A tour de force.

Well, if the wholesale roll-out of experimental largely untested pharmaceutical gene-editing products across all (healthy!) populations and age-groups regardless of risk isn't enough to convince you, how about the uncontrolled roll-out of untested unregulated and unlabelled gene-edited flora and fauna (including food) all across the world for all manner of profitable purposes?

"Gene editing is cheap, easy, prone to side effects, poorly regulated and can permanently alter nature’s gene pool - a recipe for disaster"

This annoying video with its irritating tinkly muzak sets out the technical risks well enough, but the primary issues that concern me are:

a) Our freedom of choice to accept or reject such foods and products will be quickly (or immediately if labelling is not deemed necessary) reduced to virtually zero. You can eat anything you like but there will no longer be any original natural foods available.

The origin of humanity is a topic of considerable debate, but the late David Boyle impresses as somebody who has done his homework, even if his interviewer hasn't quite learned to stay out of his way once he is in full flood.

In all truth I didn't find the interview format particularly prepossessing, but many people will find something of interest in this presentation, particularly those who are into topics of ancient Egypt. The analysis toward the end of an ancient relief wall-carving, which I confess I had to play twice before I got the message, is pivotal.

And closer to home, you may never view Avebury in the same light again...

Billy Carson does seem to have made a considerable study of a world history that defies the normal narrative. Author of the "Compendium of the Emerald Tablets - A Beginner's Guide", here he describes some "newer" discoveries to tax our credulity. Being American he speaks fast enough to defeat the subtitling algorithm rather too frequently, but the video is already an hour long, and he does cram in a lot of information...

I guess that this title was one of the most memorable quotes from the BBC's Gardener's Question Time, and probably the most insightful. Not being a gardener, I never deliberately listened to that programme, but nonetheless the quote has embedded itself firmly in my psyche. Why? Well, isn't it a simply outstandingly obvious truth?

You want better plants? Firstly, cultivate better soil.

So why do farmers persist with using artificial fertilisers on exhausted farmland to compensate for poor soil conditions?

Charles Eisenstein writing for The Defender (Children's Health Defense) reports from the heartland of US farming, Kansas.

The collapse of the land's fertility led to the collapse of the communities that lived there.

"I got the impression that the heartland is like a supersaturated solution ready for a phase transition. A mote of dust, a small vibration touches

"This will be the world's new reserve currency, and probably end the U.S. dollar for ever"

The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are putting their financial muscle together to challenge the sinking currency (and banking) systems of the West, and perhaps offer a way forward for the world once the hegemony of the Western powers is broken.

"This is the full interactive seminar with Paul Burgess, a climate specialist who has been developing a mathematical model of climate change for the past 30 years! In this mind blowing 1 hour and 45 minute lecture, your eyes will begin to open as you see the way they have twisted the stats to try and prove climate change is real"

Paul Burgess talks climate change for Students against Tyranny. He has made it his job to investigate and work out the truth about climate change (in so far as that may be within the capabilities of any one man). He isn't just repeating what others have told him.

Pay attention - the first two graphs set the scene most eloquently.

Ivor Cummins has been a Covid Hero - since the very beginning he has relentlessly  analysed the statistics and scientific papers and presented the truth to the world without fear or favour. Not being a medical man he had no axe to grind, and it's absolutely true to say that he was a pillar of calm and reason in a storm of propaganda. 

Here he is once more, reminding us of how it was, what he saw from the stats, and how he (and others!) reported at the time.

Draw your own conclusions.

Ken Walker is a bit of a walking encyclopedia, except that his knowledge isn't of the conventional type. He isn't inclined to hold back.

I find his viewpoints a useful counterweight to the general level of ignorance prevalent in 'official' circles...

James Harvey has been making a name for himself (Students Against Tyranny, Voice of Wales, UNN) by taking the weapon of publicity to the authorities, and if you have a mind to spend a half hour listening to this interview you will learn how some of those who were arrested at the 2020 Covid demonstrations experienced our police and judicial systems.

It's an interview that makes a pleasant change from the polemics of the commentators, and brings out the human aspects of these experiences in a manner that I found quite engaging.

Our future is safe with young people like these.

And it's not all bad news!
