The Truth About Vaccines - Settle Down Del!
2024-12-03
Del Bigtree, scourge of vaccine providers, arrow in the heel of Big Pharma, Big Government, and Big Propaganda (AKA sorcery), brings to light "a meeting of the world’s top health officials, and their shocking admissions about vaccine safety" all "caught on camera".
Del isn't every Brit's cup of tea as (being a Yank) he tends to shout rather a lot for our taste, but hey, he's been absolutely right about vaccine safety, he has probably done as much as any man alive to bring these issues to public attention, even where practical to take them to court, and he's more than entitled to his moment of I-told-you-so.

Reflections on Scamdemics of all Kinds
2024-12-01
Mike Yeadon on his Telegram Channel pulls up a couple of interesting articles that go to the heart of the factors that make a scamdemic possible - or in opposition, impossible.
Enjoy!
First up - how they may likely have done it first time around, the 1918 Spanish Flu (and did much the same the Covid time around). At least we were (mostly) spared the spraying of poisonous substances everywhere (unless perhaps we lived in certain parts of China).
Secondly - how to avoid falling for it all. The number one attribute that parents and teachers must develop in our kids to equip them to spot and sidestep these pan-societal illusions with an appropriate degree of nonchalance.

Fighting AI with AI - the Future?
2024-11-25
Chemtrails - are they untouchable?
Clif High thinks not, and is refining a lawsuit to test the principle.
I have posited previously that laws and statutes are simply a form of artificial intelligence that seeks to define the rules within which we must operate for best outcomes, and to enforce them through the courts (albeit a long and tedious process).
Latest technology has now automated the AI process using computer algorithms capable of presenting their results in human-accessible form within an acceptable time-frame and at comparatively modest cost.
Clif's approach is to pit the latter against the former - imagine the effect of thousands of likewiseemboldenedcitizens all filing lawsuits to redress wrongs that are currently too difficult and/or ruinously expensive to address by conventional means!

Economics ABC - XYZ
2024-11-23
The "dismal science".
When I was an undergraduate back in the...ies, we had to study economics. We had a huge tome devoted to the topic, and it was clear that if it was a "science" it was unlike any other.
Happily I don't think we were examined on it (except perhaps in the first year). You could probably have written what I learned on the back of an envelope (the internet would come later - much later). Not because I didn't read it (although I didn't read all of it by any means) but because it contained a great deal of what I considered "waffle", worthy neither of record nor of my time.
Now we understand that economics (unlike physics, although that too may be about to undergo a roots up revaluation/revelation... ) is dependent to a huge extent upon human psychology - and humans are not logical machines, but are driven by all sorts of factors, inclusive of irrational beliefs (as notoriously cultivated by wannabe dictators and cult leaders of all

The Flux Liner for Newbies
2024-11-22
We are indebted as so often to Clif High, this time for diverting our attention from all attempts to start a hot WW3 (we have been immersed in the cold version for many years, for those that may not have noticed), and to educate ourselves in some important ancient technology previously withheld from us, no doubt in the interests of our own safety.
Still, with WW3 imminent it seems that safety should now be regarded a relative concept, so I have no hesitation in bringing this previously unknown career to your attention.
A relaxed frame of mind is recommended.
You have been warned.

The Tough Get Going - But Where?
2024-11-21
We don't normally feature commercials on this site - but in the case of this iconic British brand, I will make an exception.
It's a usual thing for Sales and Marketing departments to be at odds with the manufacturing arm of any company, because S&M deal in aspiration and imagery whilst the factory deals with the hard mechanics of engineering, production, assembly and testing - their respective timescales rarely coincide!
But this case of total divorce from product reality - even on the "aspiration and imagery" front alone - is pretty staggering. Indeed, the abbreviation "S&M" might be readily misinterpreted but still somehow feels appropriate...
Yes, they have gone for bwoke.

COP29 Triumphant!
2024-11-20
Baku, Azerbaijan hosts the COP29 meeting of the great and the good, although possibly not (according to our source) the brightest and the best.
Still, it's important for the Project that the man on the Clapham omnibus shouldn't feel too obliged to actually understand what goes on at such gatherings, because then he might get the impression that it's all a rather incompetent and ineffective snouts-in-the-trough kind of jamboree, and that would risk being counter-productive; so Baku being a long way away with no convenient transport links to Clapham is probably an ideal location for the venue, especially when we factor in the language problems.
Unhappily for the Project, doughty Canadian Dr John Robson took up the challenge of (a) actually getting there (all the way from Canada!) and (b) reviewing the turgid nonsense on display for our education, amusement, and downright horror that so much could be expended on achieving so little. That man deserves a medal.
Brave New World Incoming - 5 Years?
2024-11-18
Lord Birkenhead isn't a name that springs readily to mind when discussing the future, but his article in Cosmopolitan in 1929 is the subject of a reminder from Alan Watts.
"That’s how power really is. It doesn’t share itself. It gives you an illusion occasionally of having choices, but in reality all the decisions were made a long time ago with 'your betters.' "
Food for thought for us unworthy plebians.
And an interesting read.

How Do We Know When a Politician is Lying to Us?
2024-11-12
It's an old joke, and of course the answer is:
"when we see his lips move"
Of course it's not as simple as that...
... or is it?
II have to confess that on all the major issues of our day, it seems that both the politicians and the "free" press (mainstream) have consistently "been mistaken" and determinedly continue to "be mistaken".

UFOs Meet The Trump Phenomenon
2024-11-09
If you don't believe all the talk of aliens and UFOs / UAPs, or perhaps if you do... then this short 1999 video may be for you.
William Cooperpresents a good case based upon recent history. His interpretation, whilst perfectly reasonable, may not actually disprove that which he denies. That's not to say he is wrong, there is plenty of evidence for UFOs as he acknowledges, but we can't know for sure who is flying/controlling them.
A well-presented case in two parts - the original video, and a second part from a later interview, that may be related to Trump and unfolding events in the USA!
It's your view that counts.

This is Not Party Politics
2024-11-02
Well, not really party politics. It just so happens that the party currently in office (if not actually in power) gets to make all the traditional mistakes all over again - or at any rate gets to take the blame for them.
As always, it's all about the money. But what is money? It is purchasing power: the power to purchase what we need, or what we desire.
But if what we need or desire is unobtainable... then of what use is money?
In olden times, money represented goods that had been produced by members of the local community, goods which they then took to the local weekly market for sale. What they received in exchange was money - money that they then spent buying other goods that someone else had produced, in that same market, to meet their own particular needs. Money was simply a device for swapping and redistributing each others' goods, a

Farage Strikes Back!
2024-10-31
Forget party politics - note the arguments - there's no arguing with figures.
No main party is anywhere close.
Perhaps too he's starting to reprise his old iconoclastic style previously so admired by the EU Parliament? (It's about time!)

The Ultimate 'Down the Rabbit Hole'?
2024-10-27
Before we begin, I offer the standard "Down the Rabbit Hole" introductory advice for those unfamiliar:
I strongly suggest that those new to my site should review the earlier Down the Rabbit Hole series, starting with 1 2 3 and 4.
That said, let's dive in.
I hesitate to claim that this really is the "ultimate" in Rabbit Holes, but I don't know of, nor can I at present

Only For Inhabitants of the Asylum for the Terminally Sane
2024-10-20
Ole Dammegard reviews the state of our world as allegedly run by our democratic institutions of government - yet perhaps in reality by those pesky TLAs and their corrupted or deceived associates in all walks of life.
Who is to sort the truth from the onslaught of mis/dis/mal/duff/fake-information that assails us from all quarters - and has so done for far longer than any of us might care to contemplate?
Even the sainted Julian Assange for Heaven's sake - is nobody above suspicion of complicity, or perhaps merely of galactic-scale misrepresentation?
I think we could all usefully take heed to pick up a few tips and tricks from Ole the expert, who has made the study of fake news into a personal crusade of many years standing... and who still shares much of his insight to the world for free.
Buckle up

Thoughts on the American Election
2024-10-17
As some of my readers will know, Martin Geddes is in America, this time in Tennessee at an election meeting.
His reflections could well be similarly applicable in the UK, and I find it striking how in both countries, politics is in effect a weapon to promote division rather than a force for reconciliation cooperation and healing.
The challenge is immense and the general understanding very sparse.

Another Thoughtful Update from North Carolina
2024-10-15
No, not another breathless report on the iniquities of FEMA or the exposure of hidden tunnels now filled with water and other debris, but an uplifting soliloquy on the meaning and practicality of the spirit that once animated America, from Britain's very own Martin Geddes.
By sharing his journey of practical spiritual discovery amid the current turmoil, he continues to bless us all.

Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics, and Economic Indicators
2024-10-13
Fortune and Freedom remind us just how measures of economic progress (yes, progress can be negative!) may be misleading us.
Should such measures be regarded as information, misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, or something else?
I suggest pseudoinformation... but feel free to send in your suggestions "on a postcard to the usual address" (or use our "Email Us" feature).
Fortune and Freedom spills the beans.

A Quick Swerve to Pick up some Entertainment
2024-10-10
As, apart from rather odd hurricanes and a paucity of anything much that is both new and reasonably reportable (without shredding one's credibility too disastrously), I take the opportunity to highlight some well-deserved fun at the expense of today's media in general, by bringing you this entertaining piece from the Daily Sceptic, without further comment.

Freedom is Just Another Word for "Nothing Left to Lose"
2024-10-09
This may become a historical "document for our times" - it reflects experiences akin to riding an emotional roller-coaster, which for some lucky ones covered just a few recent years; for others, many more years, years of apparent hopelessness in a seemingly futile quest for the means to overturn the governments of "mental occupation" ("govern"=control, "ment"=mind).
When everyone is distracted by the football, the rugby, the juggling of the needs of family against the needs of one or several jobs, the allure of the get-rich-quick schemes, TV, social media (and worse), "pop" concerts and innumerable events of all kinds...
When everyone is fed the continuous propaganda of the hidden hands that manipulate the politicians of the world, by the media that report only what those manipulators want us to believe, and suppress the truths that they don't want us even to suspect
