“Sea Level Rise will Cause ‘Mass exodus on a biblical scale’

The only thing we are in danger of being inundated with is the froth that comes from the mouths of people who think we have not enough water and too much water at the same time. The same people who think that if the average temperature of Antarctica is raised from -57c to -55c that all the ice will melt.

…….as is the usual way, people can spend billions and inordinate hours of time on mights and maybes….but what about actual environmental disasters?
I know a couple of people have mentioned it, but I don’t think we are being told the entire truth about the chemical spill in Ohio…there are people in Canada now saying that they are seeing the effects!! I don’t know whether this person is right, but it seems to be, or has the potential to be, much more serious than they are saying….

https://veryvirology.substack.com/p/there-is-fire-in-our-crowded-theater

Up to two and a half million gallons of one of the most toxic substances known to man have been released into the air, water and soil of the Eastern Seaboard, and are presently making their way south and east. Acid rain, which in this case is hydrochloric acid mixed with concentrated, unburned vinyl chloride, has (so far) been reported in every direction:

  • West: 400 miles west to Lafayette (probably further)
  • North: 1200 miles north up to Durham, Canada; 
  • East: 1200 miles east to NYC and Boston today more
  • South: 800 miles southwest to Kentucky so far

…..If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi River – in my humble opinion – LEAVE….

Of course this was a manufactured disaster. Once these chemicals get in to the Ohio river system thousands of acres will be laid waste.

The local PTB stated at the time that they worried about the chemicals on the train catching fire because of the devastation that would unleash.

So they decided to burn said chemicals. 🤔

This is all about killing. Destruction of food supplies is embedded.

So, more toxins everywhere, more cancers, more deaths…we know the drill. This ‘accident’ has all the hallmarks of a planned event in my humble opinion. Just a few more events like this spread throughout the US and you’ll have a wasteland where you can’t drink the water or eat the food from the ground. In a few years time, people will be eating Gates’ GMO and bug infested food gratefully as he starts using all that land he’s bought for his intensive zero nutrition, highly dubious food. I wonder out of interest if any of the land that he bought is in this area?

“Tory leader suspends councillor who called his traffic scheme ‘crazy’”

Can we call this doing a ‘Sturgeon’? People who are dumb or incompetent, but still end up with a range of powers to wreak havoc on their communities, and impose their ill thought out plans, without doubt or hesitation, despite them being based on junk science or no science at all.

Haha…slumming it is right, Gums! Anyway, having read the ‘article’, I can see it is nothing more than a storm in a teacup. A not very good joke about women members off shagging – quite amazed that Stephen Fry would bother with this one – and a reference to the Muslim ‘Allahu Akbar’ war cry – again, not a terribly good joke. I would be complaining of the standard of the jokes not the content matter.

Thanks, Michael. I usually press ‘Esc’ as the article loads which works for the DT but not the Times but that’s a good recommendation.

Roald Dahl re-written – suspect the old copies that my daughter loved when she was a child have just gained some value. We as a family have now added Penguin Publishing to our extensive list of companies we will not be buying products from. Re-writing is akin to book burning – dark times indeed.

Why give so much oxygen to Chat GPT?

I don’t get the fascination with it.

Putting in questions just to see what it comes back and then getting all titillated by the answer just seems so childish.

Isn’t it just a more elaborate version of`;

10 x=input “what is your name?”;
20 print x ” is a twat.”

Hahaha, Look at what the machine did…

The fascination is how much progress has been made in a short space of time, what the potential is and what the potential dangers are. It’s quite conceivable that many tasks can be farmed out to AI in the next decade or so, with minimal supervision. I find that quite frightening as the AI will be left-wing.

Oh I think it will be much worse than that. Your job application will be rejected because the AI will detect you have used non-woke language, your work emails will be scanned and the AI will report you to HR for using non-woke language etc etc.

As far as I understand AI, the thing learns from interactions. The more interactions the more and quicker it learns.

So… maybe stop interacting with it, even out of curiosity, and keep it dumb?

The rationale for the rush to get insects into the food supply chain baffled me. This patent may explain why it was rushed & is the perfect way to get graphene oxide into the population who have avoided the bioweapon injections.

There’s some seriously insane thinking with that patent. A quick look at GO’s effects on the human body came up with this lot:

  • thrombosis.
  • blood clots.
  • disrupts the immune system.
  • trigger a cytokine storm.
  • toxicity can instigate pneumonia.
  • creates a metallic taste in the mouth.
  • inflammation of the mucous membranes.
  • loss in the sense of taste and smell.
  • magnetism (especially at the injection site.)
  • blocks detoxification in the body by blocking glutathione.
  • may be activated by 5G frequencies.
  • was already included as an adjuvant in the flu shots in 2019.
  • passes thru the blood-brain barrier.

Everywhere you look in the world, there are events and actions leading to ill health and death. The East Palestine train derailment, the mRNA crap, insects loaded with GO and the list goes on and on. If I were an out and out conspiracy realist (I am!), I’d say they are trying to kill us!

As the FBI seized all of Tesla’s research papers on his death, it wouldn’t surprise me that they were.
Vanessa Beeley on Telegram is reporting that there have been attacks on civilians in Syria since the earthquakes, taking advantage of the situation to further regime change.

“Israeli attack is not an isolated incident. The earthquake whether natural or manmade is being exploited by the Globalist cabal to step up the war effort against the Syrian government, military and allies that have repelled one of the most concerted regime change efforts in modern history that began in 2011. 

Armed groups in Idlib and their White Helmet auxiliaries are capitalising on human tragedy to open multiple border crossings with Turkey in the aftermath claiming a need for humanitarian aid. 

The West is pouring $ millions into the north-western Al Qaeda stronghold in Syria. Why? The White Helmets have received 25 million plus in heavy equipment funding since 2013. Why now do they claim they need “heavy equipment”? Why are the UK, US, Denmark, Qatar (those who funded the regime change war in Syria) sending millions to this discredited and criminal organisation? This money is for the armed groups. Any equipment entering Idlib will be requisitioned by the armed groups and will provide them with revenue to reinforce their positions and armament supplies. 

Weapons are being diverted from Ukraine to Africa and to Syria. 

The Syrian people will take no benefit whatsoever from the so-called humanitarian aid.

 ISIS has broken out of Raju prison controlled by Turkish intelligence days after the earthquake. ISIS under the supervision of US military have carried out attacks east of Homs massacring and kidnapping civilians since the earthquake. 

The US is talking about an increased military presence and pushing for open borders with Turkey. 

Now Israel bombs multiple sites in Syria killing civilians in central Damascus with a missile strike, disabling an early warning radar system during the attack. 

The West wants Syrians dead – the Syrians who have fought for 11 years and defended themselves against one of the most barbaric hybrid wars the collective West has ever waged.

 Instead of coming to their aid, the West will exploit this human tragedy to advance their geopolitical agenda in the region and to expand the war with Russia to more than one continent.”

It’s horrific. I am ashamed of what my country’s government is involved in in the name of democracy, peace, security or whatever other convenient label it applies to sanitise its brutality. Imagine if it was Russia that had all the military bases around the world and Russia that had black sites and did extraordinary rendition and random regime change…the msm would be apoplectic with indignation and rage. I’m not saying Russia is perfect, they also have their shadow, but come on, we’re the real beast here, we’re death cult, spreading misery around the world. And if any ex-soldier was to say: ‘how do you think you’re safe and able to live your sheltered life in peace?’ I would reply: “It’s less safe due to the actions we have taken and my life is about sheltering from the forces of my own government who do not give me peace at all but are waging war against their own citizens.’
