Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil have been in the news for various reasons, but I fear that their efforts are misdirected. If they really want to make a difference then they should protest in New Delhi Beijing and Shanghai - or Berlin - where the governments that really are burning ever increasing quantities of polluting fuels such as coal are resident.

Is CO₂ a pollutant?

With no CO₂ in our atmosphere we could grow no crops - and those many net zero campaigners who want us to stop eating meat thus obviously also want us to stop eating - full stop.

In fact, more CO₂ means more crops and offers the potential for more farmland of all kinds to feed the hungry.

CO₂ is no more a

"One of the great pioneers of the 9/11 Truth Movement, David Ray Griffin, passed away on November 25, 2022. He was 83 years old"

I was interested not so much in the announcement, but in the report that he had worked at the Claremont School of Theology:

"Fifty years ago we organized the Center for Process Studies that undertook to help scholars in many fields of study to understand that shifting from mechanistic to organic theory in the way Alfred North Whitehead had developed would benefit their work. The scientific evidence is that the world is made up of interrelated events (or processes) rather than tiny bits of separate static matter"

Now that got my attention, because where I used to work in manufacturing, the process was key to the quality of the end product, whether that product was a TV set or a packet of teabags or a new computer system. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense - you have to perfect the process to perfect

Reports have it that many of the illegal migrants landing on UK south coast beaches are from Albania.

Albania does seem a long way away, and I'm sure it has a rather warmer climate than the UK, so what is it that propels so many to try their chances with a long and no doubt tricky journey and the risk of a ducking in the decidedly unwelcoming waters of the Channel?

This is a rather important question, as the answer may tell us much about the way the UK is perceived abroad and the state of the world elsewhere.

So this article in Unherd is a timely piece even if it does leave me wanting to know a bit more.

If this is for you then I think you will know it once you get into it.

If it's not for you then think about it anyway - after all, as the Bard wrote centuries ago:

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy"

If that were not true, then what would be the point?

"Jonathan Cole has been a registered professional engineer for over 35 years.

In 2010, he began conducting real-world experiments in his backyard to either prove or disprove the official explanation of the Twin Towers and Building 7’s destruction.

I'm not keen on featuring the contribution below for a number of reasons, because for all this guy says (and he's an American who has no trouble pouring out his no doubt sincerely held beliefs so that we can all benefit from his enormous wisdom - if only we could slow him down and take a week or two to digest it all), his narrative is based upon a few unspoken points which seem to me to be highly questionable.

But it does give me an opportunity to give a hobby-horse of mine an outing.

If I had to profess a religion it would be Christianity - just not the perverted versions peddled by the great hypocritical religions that (a) used to burn their heretics to death ("judge not that thou be not judged") and (b) seek to persuade us that we are so helpless that we should simply cast ourselves into unquestioning faith in Jesus Christ (oh, and the Bible) in order to be "saved". That is redolent of the simplistic scams offered by charlatans proffering snake oil across the ages ("just take this 'free' injection

Clif High reviews where we are in the unfolding reset and offers us his thoughts.

As far as I can see his prognostications have so far turned out to be reasonably reliable, so I'm inclined to listen to what he says, and his predictions for the next year or two may surprise those who believe that the world will soon be back to normal. 

According to Clif, nothing could be further from the truth, and those that are disinclined to review their habits and belief systems of a lifetime will be in for a very uncomfortable time.

There are many now who believe that the Covid jabs have led to increasing numbers of stillbirths and other issues around maternity care, but DR EMMA JONES writing for Unherd catalogues a history of problems in NHS maternity units going back well before the start of the "pandemic", from the point of view of one who has personally lived the experience.

"I thought I had seen everything. But nothing prepares you for O&G"

"This internal politics put lives at risk"

"Once held up as a beacon of good practice, it is now seen as enabling the 'worst scandal in NHS history' "

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.
