Hope Sussex was founded to support those parents who wanted to take their children out of the public and state education systems, those who were prepared to do what had to be done to bring up their own children for themselves in accord with their own beliefs and principles.

Clearly the Universe has smiled upon their efforts.

"Joe’s avatar will soon put all whistleblowers out of work, he’s such a one-man red pill machine"

"Congress passed resolution 503 calling for the impeachment of Joe Biden for high crimes and misdemeanors"

Ouch.

He may not be the only one. And tomorrow is 4th July...

Michael Senger writing for the Brownstone Institute investigates.

Mind you, he is commenting on the performance of one Matt Hancock, so it may be a bit one-sided - but are the contributions from all the protagonists both official and 'non-official but expert' all being give weight?

"... the COVID Inquiry ... has revealed little of value and assiduously avoided asking officials why they found the horrific decision to copy China’s lockdown policy remotely appropriate... "

" 17 members of the pro-lockdown pressure group ‘Independent SAGE’ have been asked to give evidence "

Mahyar Tousi reminds us that the current troubles in France may not be unrelated by some to the concept of the religious wars of old.

That's not to say that they are or that they are not, just that it is likely that some will see it that way.

From my perspective, a conversion achieved by force is not a conversion at all, it is a subjugation.

Force is an open admission that persuasion doesn't work.

Those who seek to convert and spread their religion by coercion rather than by persuasion do not respect the right of anybody to make up their own minds for themselves, and the result is top-down control. It is the direct antithesis of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

OK, so a true bottom-up government of the people has yet to be established anywhere, but the principles established in Magna Carta and the American Constitution probably go some

If only!

So who could possibly pull off such a feat? I guess there's only one candidate...

Mahyar Tousi investigates the banking shutdown of Nigel Farage, and how "the narrative" is being pushed out.

I hope he has an alternative bank lined up...

Shutting down a bank account is an extremely serious matter in the modern day and age. Almost everybody needs access to banking, and existing on a cash-only basis is next to impossible for anybody employed by a corporation or government entity. One might think therefore that such action is wholly disproportionate in most circumstances.

I never had the time or inclination to delve into the intricacies of communist-socialist-fascist-neo-con internecine warfare, but after reading this magnum opus I have come to a better understanding of the words "dialectic" and "cybernetics". I'm not sure that this makes me a wiser person, but it highlights the tendency of elites everywhere to invent a jargon that only the initiates understand, and thereby keeps everyone else out of the loop.

Canadian historian Matt Ehret is a veritable walking encyclopedia of historical knowledge and yet somehow seems to remain a well-grounded human person, a feat that I suspect eluded most of the characters whose progress he has studied.

In this article he takes us on a ride through about the last 150 years right up to Prigozhin's recent

Dr David Kelly was outed as a "source" for a BBC report (yes you read that right - how times change) that created doubt about the "dodgy" WMD dossier relied upon by Prime Minister Blair that led to the Iraq war.

He was later found dead, ruled a suicide, a verdict disputed by many.

"... there is no possibility that at an inquest a verdict other than suicide would be returned"

Britain subsequently went to war.

So that's it, right?

But who was the Chief Microbiologist at Porton Down?

"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit... Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them"King James Bible Matthew 7: 17-20

Oxford City Council should pay attention. Their reworking of Broad Street in furtherance of their Net Zero ambitions that we should all get out of out motor transport (and what exactly?) doesn't inspire J Sorel:

"The new sitting area... isn’t a paved-over section of its own, but is instead grafted straight onto the tarmac itself – this is not an attempt to build something, but to deface something else"

"The purpose of this place isn’t for people to sit, but simply to obstruct the street"

"The ... bollards are irregular in shape and irregularly placed, forming a jagged line.

The Good Law Project has caved.

Henceforth it will only pursue the cases that the Government-Judiciary-Cabal permit.

That is my interpretation and I'm sure that there are those who would disagree, so please make up your own mind as to whether we still have the rule of law in our benighted country.

There was a time in the not so distant past when the government were indeed taken to task in the highest courts in the land over their handling of Brexit, but perhaps there are projects and projects... or litigants and litigants.

Make up your own mind.

What is a terrorist anyway?

In the minds of most, the word would I imagine conjure images of someone who is likely to plan instigate engage in or otherwise contribute to acts of violence or violent insurrection, with the objective of spreading terror.

Vanessa does seem a most unlikely terrorist to me.

Vanessa Beeley, independent journalist often featuring on UK Column reports, describes the opaque and apparently unconstitutional powers that have led various people including herself to being detained searched and having possessions confiscated, apparently without any recourse to law.

Is this what our country, our England, has become?

Or is immigration control seriously out of control?

Either

We may have to try harder to keep up - Norway has now joined Sweden in rejecting unreliable energy from "renewables" but unlike Sweden is reverting to oil and gas.

Well, I suppose they have to keep the lights on somehow.

Who will be the next to break from the ranks of the green man?

Net Zero Watch publishes a paper which analyses the code behind NASA's Model E Climate simulation.

We have written about the relationship between computer modelling and science before. That article was occasioned by the failure of Prof Ferguson's Covid modelling, but at the end of the day any computer model is simply a computer program written in order to simulate a specific system according to the understanding of the modeller. That understanding may or may not be based on science - or more specifically, on the scientific method.

Models may be simple or they may be extremely complex, but of itself, complexity does not equate to "science"!

So here's a surprise -

"Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “ 'stable energy system' "

Who would have thought it?

"... wind and solar power are too 'unstable' to meet the nation’s energy requirements... "

"Swedish Government is shifting back to nuclear power and has ditched its targets for a '100% renewable energy' supply"'

Well, that took some time. Still, there's more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents than over the ninety and nine just men.

I wonder how long the other European nations will hold out?

An interesting presentation that we should take seriously...

But they are few and we are many, and we are no longer afraid. Fear is what they want - but too many are now aware of their plans.

In reality, I suspect that their own plans are actually beyond their powers to implement. I'd even say, beyond their technology - they just don't know it yet. 

That's not to say that they couldn't do a great deal of harm in trying. After all, they already have with their jabs, abortions, propaganda, and take-over of education, big pharma, the media, and governing institutions worldwide.

See what you think.

Do we believe in "free speech"?

Well, James Delingpole is brave enough to say that "it depends".

And I think he's right.

Free speech in the right circumstances is very beneficial if it helps others to formulate their own views.

In the wrong circumstances it muddies the waters, confuses the listener, and and may even promote the madness of crowds...

I also think that "free speech" doesn't include deliberate falsehoods half-truths omissions or incitement to criminality. To be useful it has to be honest peaceful and unthreatening.

Which introduces another problem - who is to judge this "honesty"? Rhetoric can be used for good or for ill, to inform or to confuse or to mislead. Caveat

As we might have hoped, Ben's report manages to cover the Wagner goings-on of recent days, and brings quite bit of new info (new to me anyway!). I think it may well be new to most, certainly (if not totally unexpectedly) it pulls an entirely new angle.

It all helps to paint the picture, and with "stuff" happening at seemingly ever-increasing pace it's certainly welcome.

Not only that, he drops some quite explicit cues indicating what may now be imminently in the works... you have been warned.

Highly recommended this week.
