Destination of Humanity?
2023-02-17
When I was in my teens I was always a bit flummoxed by the TV series "The Prisoner".
I couldn't see the point in a nameless person held captive within a nameless but apparently comfortable - even luxurious - village.
Where was the action? Plenty.
Where was the good guy? Patrick McGoohan. Number six.
Where were the bad guys? Only the minions were ever in evidence, never the big bad bosses.
Where was the victory of good over evil? Nowhere to be seen - it was a never-ending dystopia.
It broke the mould of TV adventure series where the goodies always triumphed over the baddies, so there appeared to be no point in watching it - we knew how each episode would always end: more of the same.
So why watch it?

Origins of Humanity?
2023-02-15
There is little doubt in my mind that Steven and Evan Strong (Our Alien Ancestry) are a rum duo. There is also no doubt in my mind that the existence of stone circles, megaliths, and ancient pyramids etc of uncertain purpose littered around the world are a collective conundrum that when solved will reveal a great deal about the origins of humanity - and it's not likely to be what we have been told.
So any rediscovered information that comes to light is to be taken very seriously, and recent (2022) revelations about a pre-war Australian amateur archaeologist's work are to be welcomed and should be checked out.
It's a truism that science has never been advanced by conventional thinking, but only by open-minded consideration of the evidence, logical deduction, and advancement and testing of explanatory hypotheses.

View from the Bottom
2023-02-13
UK Column brings us some very interesting contributions from members of the Love Party - no it's not a hippy collective high on LSD, it's the views of three citizens who realise how the world is moving and are doing something about it.
"... ultimately, that is the end-game... "
Their tactic is to form a political party to take on the establishment.
More power to their elbow.
Maybe however they should note that in addition to corporate takeovers of small businesses through a variety of tactics, the deep state / corporate media is also expert at marginalising smaller parties, taking control and if required neutralising them by any means necessary, whenever they threaten to get out of hand (whatever happened to UKIP?).

A Message from the Past on How we Got Here
2023-02-13
Mrs Thatcher is primarily remembered for privatisations (which made some people a great deal of money and was therefore a source of popularity, also enabling rich oligarchs to make a killing and take control of industries hitherto mismanaged by the state).
Also for her unbroken succession of wins at the ballot box (ended only by a coup from within the Tory party, some say to pave the way for consolidation into the EU), for her facing down of the miners and Arthur Scargill, for her ill-fated "poll tax" which put a severe dent in her popularity, and for her somewhat tearful departure from office.
She became something of a hate figure for the left, and a hero for the right, thus cementing the left/right divide in British politics.
Looking back, her privatisations didn't necessarily improve the management of the privatised industries, since most were monopolistic in nature (at least locally), and competition for customers was therefore not a huge factor in

Old Bill Gates he Had a Farm - A.I. A.I. Oh!
2023-02-10
OK, the headline is contrived (aren't they all?) but there is a connection - the AI chatbot ChatGPT is a product of Bill's erstwhile company, Microsoft - and Old Bill is reputed to own the greatest acreage of farmland in the USA.
And a very accomplished product ChatGPT appears by most accounts to be (so does Google at last have a real competitor?).
But what is the difference between artificial intelligence and human intelligence? Will AI ever rival the human intellect? It appears to have passed the Turing test (to be indistinguishable from a human being) over the internet, although it remains to be seen whether specific lines of questioning may yet be devised to cause it to fail that test.
And is it a truly impartial intelligence, or does it seek to influence our collective consciousness in specific directions?

The Jury - A Political Institution?
2023-02-03
The common law jury:
"... a political institution, embodying the sovereignty of the people, and the very best way of preparing a people to be free"
I didn't see that coming!
Once more Richard Vobes nails a most informative, probably better described as definitive, interview with constitutional expert William Keyte.
Wow!
Essential viewing which clarifies multiple aspects of our current national and global situation:
"... they're trying to inject these... globalist policies into our system by bypassing our... traditional governmental mechanisms... the people who are doing this behind the scenes... really don't like... national constitutions... "
"... if the people who are... aware ... start standing on the constitution, and understand it and

Chemtrails - Conspiracy Theory Debunked?
2023-02-01
We've all seen them - a web of jet trails in the sky that eventually dissipate to turn a lovely sky-blue day into a grey miasma.
This site has posted a number of articles about them, and several other web-sites of international renown are either devoted to them or mention them occasionally.
So are they a conspiracy theory? Evidently not; there are many days when we can observe these phenomena with our own eyes.
But what is their cause?
I don't think that anybody has yet comprehensively pin-pointed a cause, and indeed it's quite possible to consider that there may be more than one cause. However, Arthur Firstenberg (author of magnum opus

For we Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood, but Against ... Spiritual Wickedness in High Places
2023-01-30
How do we survive in these times of misinformation, threats from those who would rule us, destruction of our wealth, false imprisonment for the unlucky, and outright usurpation of our historical rights and freedoms?
Increasingly I have found myself looking to counter falsehoods with the truth, right over wrong, love generosity and tolerance over hate meanspiritedness and indifference, awareness of the possible limitations of our current beliefs and systems of governments, and ultimately, a simple faith that things will turn for the best when enough people join in this spirit.
A simple faith that I find even begets a certain measure of serenity.
The words of St Paul may be unfamiliar to those who were not brought up in a religious environment, but they do seem eerily prescient of our current times.

Slavery is Optional - Update
2023-01-28
As NATO pushes WW3 via the Ukraine, and the UK political parties plumb ever greater depths of incoherence, it is appropriate to remind ourselves of matters spiritual.
For those of you who have not yet sussed our Rolling submenu (craftily hidden beneath the Latest main menu item!) I would direct you towards Martin Geddes, who is very generously chronicling his own journey towards the spiritual so that we too may benefit from his experiences.
I think you may agree that it is no mean thing to open up your personal spiritual journey to public inspection as Martin has done - and continues to do - and I salute him for it.

Pencil Me In
2023-01-26
The technocrats who would rule the world may not understand that they do not understand.
What you don't understand you cannot control.
They would control the world through their AI algorithms - but could the AI understand the manufacture of something as simple as a pencil?
Could it really track its "carbon footprint" (or whatever other notional key performance indicator(s) they may from time to time dream up)?
Well, perhaps for a pencil it could be done? After all, it's simply a question of breaking the problem down into its constituent parts, tracking each individually, and then apportioning some part of the cost of each constituent to the resulting pencil. Yes, this would be a multi-levelled process but in principle...
But what about the accuracy of the necessary assumptions underlying each individual part? For instance, the costs of the pencil factory. What

Rupert Sheldrake is a man who likes to think for himself, who likes to challenge the received wisdom, especially where he detects the unmistakable whiff of flawed assumptions.

Make Light of Your Food, or Food of Your Light?
2023-01-25
Now and then I come across a presentation that turns everything I thought I knew upside down - this is (almost) one of them.
From Dr Jerry Tennant I learned that the body works primarily on an electrical basis, from others I learned about mitochondria being the power within the cell, and from others still I learned that the cells of our body probably communicate using electromagnetic means (ie: light).
From Arthur Firstenberg I learned that there is a serious case to be made that the alteration of our electromagnetic environment over many decades has been the cause of much illness - and in effect amounts to environmental destruction.
This presentation takes the topic to a whole new level -

The Mystery Deepens ... Where is Sherlock Holmes When We Need Him?
2023-01-24
"Mortality rates across the UK reached their highest level since 2010, according to an analysis of data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)"
"I’m pretty sure they don’t have an NHS in Ireland, where excess deaths are also competing with pandemic levels... "
"So, can you think of anything that happened globally which might be causing excess deaths to be higher than during the pandemic?"
"... while everyone is talking about it, nobody wants to do the work to find out the cause"
"'I think the government should be looking at it' say the Australian actuaries who usually investigate such matters for the insurance industry"

"But the Australian government’s investigation into Covid carefully cut out excess deaths from its terms of reference" -

And what is "Age-standardised mortality" anyway?

The age-standardized mortality rate is a weighted average of the age-specific mortality rates per 100 000 persons, where the weights are the

NHS Reform? Not if it Gives Control Back to Patients
2023-01-20
Nicely complementing the article on the culpability or otherwise of the MHRA, the Daily Sceptic's "In-house doctor" traces the history of how the NHS was, from the beginning, more or less designed to remove control from the patient and give it to "the authorities".
Since that time there have been many "reforms" along the way but none of them have ever been permitted to return any meaningful measure of control back to the patient. "The authorities know best" has been the unspoken rule throughout and "reforms" are always one-way toward more centralised control.
All attempts to suggest that "the authorities" might learn from alternative systems for the provision of "health care" around the world (or even just across the channel where France seems to do it better than the UK) have been accorded lip service, but nothing has come of it. But even other systems across the world still suffer from the medical monopoly of the big corporates - big pharma, big insurance, big government, big
