Rory who?
As to Cochrane, scientists just need more cojones, not just or first more support. While we must support them it is to them that we look for resistance to corruption of science. How can we know and how can we make the case without them.
“Offshore wind farm developers are delaying non-essential work on U.K. projects”
What odds that when these are finished with the owners walk away and the oh, so cl,ever civil servants forgot to ensure a sinking fund toi dispose of the remains. Ditto solar. Ditto EVs.
Why they went after Brand, summarized in this mini clip;
https://twitter.com/freedomonfire/status/1703467578016858471
If ever there were proof of just how controlled and weaponized the msm are this is it now with Brand. Like a pack of sharks once the chow has been thrown overboard. RB usefully and effectively provides the latest big distraction. You just need to look at what they’re *not* reporting on;
”EVIDENCE of Covid jab deaths and harms given to the Covid Inquiry has been ignored by most of the mainstream print media.
The BBC also chose not to report the evidence. It did, however, believe that far more newsworthy was the fact that care home residents are now being given the Covid booster, publishing this story on its website a day before the Inquiry heard about multiple jab deaths and injuries.
Speaking on Twitter about his attendance at the Covid Inquiry on Wednesday, Alex Mitchell, who lost his leg following complications from a Covid jab, said he felt it was a force for good. And at least on the surface, it was. He wrote: “It was a very emotional day for us all and tears freely flowed from many. First time I actually felt like we were being listened to and acknowledged.”
Except they were not.
Consider also that the sinister C40 Cities agenda which, as previously reported by News Uncut, has set what is calls ambitious targets for 2030 including no private car ownership, no meat or dairy consumption, only three pieces of new clothing per person per year and one short-haul flight per person every three years, has still not seen the light of day in the mainstream print press, despite a wealth of evidence being passed to at least one national daily.
It is now harder than ever to argue that there is not an agenda driven by print media hierarchy and the UK Government on what it can and cannot publish.”

Every chicken comes home to roost
At the moment round her life seems pretty much like normal, loads of people travelling around in petrol/diesel cars, oil tankers travelling around filling up people’s heating oil tanks ready for the winter, people enjoying meat and dairy products, life seems pretty good to most people.
As you say much of what is coming down the tracks is being hidden, except that eventually they have to reveal their hand as with the Welsh 20mph limit changes and the ULEZ stuff in London. Until now it has all seemed a bit theoretical but it does look like it is soon going to start to bite and bite hard. As with the Mum in the above clip tearing down the Rainbow Flag, ordinary everyday fold are going to be increasingly incensed as the reality of all this stuff hits home. How will all this play out? I have no idea but I do not think it will be very pleasant or nice!
There is also the matter of the timing of the Brand sh*tstorm to consider, which is not getting discussed and will not be happenstance. There’s no way anything, especially not this big, this vicious, with all the msm rags/channels reporting in lockstep on this one story as front page fodder for the perpetually dozy and gullible masses, would be just dropped at some random point in time. Like the sleight of hand magician we have to look beyond and see what’s going on behind this visage that’s in our face, what are they preparing to pull out of the bag that we need to be distracted from until they’re ready. We have to ask, ”Why now?”
Not a single comment allowed on the deluge of articles on RB on the DM. Under normal circumstances DM would simply censor unfavourable comments.
I think they know this will unleash a torrent of comments from the readers.
Well I’ve been over to his YT channel and become a subscriber. So add me to the 6.61 million ‘awakening wonders’ lol! I think we should all do this as a sign of support. Whether you like RB or he gets on your tits, the most important thing is that we can all see what’s happening to him and why. We can’t sit back and let the b’stards attempt to destroy somebody who’s a valuable ally in the freedom movement so I think let’s get behind him and we’ll see if we can’t make this thing backfire for the malicious globalist wankers. If they see his support growing, not shrinking as a result of their strategic attack, then that at least sends a message to the evil gits, does it not? I’m heartened to see he’s getting a lot of support on Twitter too.
Good point Mogs. I’ll subscribe to Brand later this evening. He’s not my cup of tea but he’s winding the tw#ts up so that deserves our support.
Yep. I knew the government was trying to hide something. See also “MSM are going to report on something massive this weekend”, to make absolutely sure the plebs were distracted.
Expect more of the same smoke and mirrors when Boris Johnson’s WhatsApp messages are revealed.
It’s good the inquiry is covering covid ‘vaccine’ injuries. Please see below a link to a submission by the lawyer for some of the vaccine injured groups: –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJLybc6o6aw&t=6887s
Apart from anything else, it seems to be a way for deaths and injuries from the injections to be addressed on Youtube without being censored.
There are people suggesting a revolution may be the way out of this mess.
Maybe it is. A revolution of mass non-compliance?
There are people suggesting a parallel world may be the way forward?
Maybe it is? Buy local, but unfortunately at this stage you still have to deal with the system….
‘2nd smartest guy’ thinks the Nipah virus will provide the next plandemic. He’s got compelling evidence to support this prediction;
”And just like the tabletop and simulation exercises EVENT 201 and DARK WINTER, the same criminal players have been hard at work game planning the imminent Nipah “pandemic.”
In 2019 Johns Hopkins ran a tabletop exercise called CLADE X which references the Nipah virus:
On March 14, 2022, four months before the clinical trial, The Gates Foundation announced a new $90 million funding initiative named Pandemic Antiviral Discovery (PAD).
Clearly, “Gates” is the most prescient man in the world when it comes to viral outbreaks and “vaccines;” except that we have incontrovertible proof as per the above 2021 research study that Nipah is a bioweapon.
Comparing Nipah virus to SARS-CoV-2, we know that both are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses that can cause severe respiratory illness in humans; however, they belong to different families: Nipah is a paramyxovirus, while SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus.”

The BOE report on AI energy consumption is well worth reading. It suggests that the demand of AI for energy is VAST. Surely the energy supply is the weak link.
Already building developments in West London are being held back because the electric is already being used to full capacity by the proliferation of Data Centres in West London. If we have a tough winter and they cannot keep the electric grid running a lot more people might start to wake up to what is going on.
I remember reading about a study that estimated the amount of electricity needed to make all the world’s cars self-driving. They concluded that it might not be “good for the environment”
Boris Johnson: Officials discussed raising concerns about former PM to Queen – BBC News
A damage limitation exercise, probably; with the conclusion that “he should have locked down harder, faster, longer”. Nothing about lying to the Queen, or partying before her husband’s funeral, or destroying the country with repeated lockdowns.
A hundred years previously, both Boris Johnson and Tony Bliar might have had their heads chopped off for treason.
We need more people like that mother, she is right that teacher is paid to teach History not woke ideology.
“Garrick private members’ club ‘may lift its ban on female members’”
Careful there, lads – going down the route of assuming biological imperatives will get you into a lot of trouble with the trans enablers these days. Best keep your safe space for men only, even if they want to wear frocks and lippy….
Surely all a woman has to do is dress up as a man, says she identifies as a man, and just walk in? It works for chaps passing themselves off as women, after all.
