latest leaflet to print at home and deliver to neighbours or forward to politicians, media, friends online.
That’s a good article on the new blasphemy law in Denmark by Spiked.
It is the censors that cause violence.
Most people don’t want these laws but democracy is being subverted by our leaders in so many areas.
We need democracy back, otherwise JFKs aphorism about the necessity for violent change becoming inevitable will be brought to life.
Of course – it should be controlled by British Intelligence.
Here here.
British propaganda for Britain only.
On the spectrum of Sir Richard’s security concerns, where does control by overseas bureaucrats, resident and overseas Imams and Putin stand?
Remember it was Sir Richard who delivered the fake Iraq WMD Dossier to the US (foreign) government, and who was deeply embroiled in the fake Russiagate claims. For starters.
More on where this hateful ideology stems from in Gaza and why the corrupt, terrorist-supporting UN should be dismantled;
”Pupils at schools in Gaza learn maths by adding up how many martyrs have died in Palestinian uprisings.
They’re taught Newton’s Second Law in physics lessons by calculating the forces influencing the trajectory of a projectile fired from a slingshot at an IDF soldier.
And a reading comprehension exercise celebrates a Palestinian firebombing attack on a Jewish bus near the West Bank city of Ramallah as a “barbecue party”.
This is all part of the standard curriculum across Gaza. Not just at schools run by Hamas, but also by those operated by Unwra (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East), which the UK handed £16.8million in funding last year.
The UK is among the top 20 donors globally to Unwra for education as well as healthcare, social services and emergency response. The US, Germany and the EU gave Unwra even larger grants last year, at £273million, £160million and £91million respectively.
Dan Kosky, director of global strategy and communications at IMPACT-se (Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education), said the PA overhauled Gaza school curriculum in 2016, and it is now filled with antisemitism, incitement to violence and the glorification of martyrdom.
“Jews are portrayed as greedy, controlling, treacherous,” he said. “There’s a reading comprehension exercise on the Munich massacre [in which 11 Israelis were killed at the 1972 Olympics], which is portrayed as a praiseworthy operation.
“There’s a whole passage about Dalal Mughrabi, a terrorist who carried out the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre in northern Israel, in which 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children, were murdered on a bus. She’s praised as being a role model for Palestinian women [Arabic Language, Vol. 2, Grade 5, 2023, pp. 51–61].”

So the pro-Israel UK government and others have been helping to radicalise the children in Gaza and laying the ground for what ultimately allowed the Israeli regime to do post-7th October what would have been disapproved of prior to that? Is that what is being suggested? Interesting, seems like the CIA and Afghanistan playbook.
You don’t need to look far to figure out where “this hateful ideology” comes from. Just visit the occupied territories and see for yourself how they are treated.
Since you have never been there you will continue to be subject to some pretty sophisticated propaganda techniques that have really worked a treat on you.
Kim Iverson, famous for losing her The Hill position by telling truths on Covid, and once a pro Israel sympathiser like you and the league of demented downtickers DID visit and in a recent tweet garnering 2.5million views she suggests that ANY American who actually visits would have a different perspective.

“Abu Dhabi’s takeover of the Telegraph puts press freedom at risk” – The state ownership of newspapers brings with it a unique and deeply troubling set of questions, says Zoe Strimpel….
And the corporate pharma/globalist influence on just about every single UK newspaper, not to mention the state ownership of the BBC, is exempt from that criticism because….?

I must say Vivek Ramaswamy is very impressive.
There are 3 credible presidential candidates that are seriously anti-establishment – Vivek, Trump and RFK Jr. Any of them would be great, IMO.
I admire your optimism Michael. I’m now so far down the rabbit hole that I distrust most politicians who are seen as serious contenders. I do trust RFK Jr though on vaccines and health matters,. Vivek Ramaswamy talks a great talk and I think I’d like to see the other 5 minutes of this debate. He seems genuine but isn’t that one of the tricks of being a politician? As for Trump, not sure. He talks to the crowd well but didn’t he threaten to drain the swamp and then not do that? And didn’t he threaten to bring back jobs to the US and meanwhile the heartland is still empty and deserted? I’m listening to James Delingpole on The Tom Wood Show, a US podcaster, and he nails it when he says that politicians do a good talk in saying how things are going to get better and then things just don’t, they get worse. The real power pulls the strings, has the money and the muscle and no one who counters that power will ever be allowed near the levers of power.
Some people who have brought jobs back to the US: Discover – ORIGIN (originusa.com)
“no one who counters that power will ever be allowed near the levers of power”
I agree that the Deep State in the US generally ensures that only acceptable candidates get on the ballot, and, if that fails, they rig the election. But, there are exceptions, who manage to get elected despite the Deep State’s schemes, such as JFK and Trump 2016. And when that happens, they introduce Plan A (put obstacles in the President’s way – eg Russia collusion hoax) or Plan B (assassination).
Trump? The anti-establishment man who pushed the establishment response to Covid? Whether complicit or just plain stupid, that guy is not your man.
The Red Cross is another corrupt, terrorist-supporting, Jew-hating organization, as are Amnesty of course, because they were caught on camera tearing down posters of the hostages;
”Families of Israelis being held hostage by Hamas were reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross in a recent meeting, with the Red Cross telling one family they need to “think about the Palestinian side,” KAN has reported.
Roni and Simona, the parents of Doron Steinbrecher who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from Kfar Azza on October 7, were invited to a meeting with the Red Cross this past week.
Doron needs a medication she takes daily and her parents thought that the Red Cross was finally willing to transfer the medication to her, but instead, they were sat down and reprimanded by representatives of the Red Cross.
“Think about the Palestinian side,” the representatives of the Red Cross told Simona, according to KAN. “It’s hard for the Palestinians, they’re being bombed.”
The Jerusalem Institute of Justice recently sent a letter to the International Committee of the Red Cross pointing out that it had made several social media posts about the dire humanitarian situation of Palestinian Arabs in Gaza but not a single one about the plight of the hostages and other Israeli victims from the October 7 massacre.
About three weeks after the attack, 1,200 lawyers across the world signed a letter written by the Israeli human rights group Shurat HaDin, condemning the Red Cross for not doing enough to help the hostages. The attorneys accused the organization of repeating the mistakes of indifference and inaction that it admitted to having made during the Holocaust.”

“The electric-car fantasy”
Another good article on the implausibility of Battery electric vehicles (BEV) as a form of cheap and easy mass transportation. The question is, what happens now? The motor trade reckons that the average age of a car on the road in the UK is now 8.4 years, this is higher than is has been for a long time and this trend is likely to continue as BEVs struggle to work in the secondhand market. Will TPTB allow us to struggle on with ever ageing petrol/diesel (ICE) cars? Will they restrict supplies of petrol and diesel? will they bring in ever more ULEZ type measures to force ICE cars off the road?
This whole business looks like ending in a right mess when we realise that we can only manage to replace a small proportion of our ICE cars with BEVs, when we realise that there is not enough electric or electric distribution to charge BEVs, when the limited lithium -ion re-cycling facilities back up with dead batteries. Is there any chance of stopping this? or do we have to let the whole sorry business play out to the immiserated end?
Geoff Buys Cars did a cracking vid on what the longterm plans appear to be.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwEg7BvQXsg
I have posted this vid before as has Ron S but worth a re-post.
Yep, remember seeing it but thought it worth plugging in here. His chat with James Ruppert a couple of days ago is great too.
I think the plan is exactly as you have envisioned. They are doing it by stealth because they know that there is no way the people would support the plan if asked.
I heard a rumour that most SatNavs have pricing software already embedded, just waiting for the nod to be activated.
That’s very interesting and quite alarming. Thanks WW!
The company I used to work for a few years back bought a cheap, off-the-shelf delivery software package that had cost per mileage tracking embedded as standard, so the company could fine tune fuel requirements (although they never got around to it). Wouldn’t be too difficult to embed those few lines of code in standard private vehicle SatNavs, to be activated next time its updated. The link below gives an indication of similar.

These days many Toyota cars have devices that can record everything, and do it’s sums and present the fuel use on each trip. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/myt-by-toyota/id1020262732 does that in conjunction with the built in kit in my car. It is possible to set it up so that it doesn’t record too much, if you’re worried about the STASI etc – although I suspect that if it was a company car it would have to be used routinely so that they can spy on you!
“Putin’s Russia is closing in on a devastating victory. Europe’s foundations are trembling”
Listed twice!?
The British Army assaulted across major minefields at El Alamein in 1942 and in Normandy 1944. But air superiority had already been established. Until Ukraine can establish at least local air superiority, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for them to successfully mount offensive operations of any scale through prepared Russian defensive minefields covered by fire. The same, however, could have been said of the ‘Maginot Line’.
But what is really going on?
‘The rate of Russian losses along the entire frontline in Ukraine appear to be close to the rate of Russian force generation…………, likely indicating that Russian forces are not amassing uncommitted reserves in preparation for more extensive winter operations’
‘Ukraine’s current intent to increase fortifications and defensive capabilities throughout the theater, particularly in the aforementioned areas of the front where Russian forces are pursuing offensive operations. The establishment of Ukrainian tactical defensive positions will most likely strengthen Ukrainian forces’ capabilities to defend against ongoing and costly Russian attacks with fewer forces of their own and/or while suffering fewer casualties in the defense. Furthermore, the establishment of Ukrainian tactical defensive positions may become a springboard for future Ukrainian offensive operations where and when Ukrainian forces choose to re-initiate offensive operations.’
ISW
The powers of endurance of both Ukraine and Russia should never be underestimated.
This war looks set to run and run; a dreadful tragedy in part created by Europe’s weakness, pusillanimity…….as in 1938.
Slowly, oh so slowly, inching toward reality.
Which you never set out.

Billy Gates all but controls the Torygraph so why should we be bothered if that control shifts to Abu Dhabi?
William Randolph Hearst used his fathers fortune to buy up newspaper titles and then to promote his pet projects, including getting him elected as President. He didn’t get elected, but used his enormous influence to push all kinds of personal agendas. This was in the 1890’s. In the end, a newspaper will always publish what its owner thinks is important. The problem is that people who buy papers like stories that reflect their opinions, not non-partisan facts…

https://news.sky.com/story/uks-first-air-capture-plant-is-turned-on-to-remove-co2-from-the-atmosphere-and-turn-it-into-jet-fuel-13025531
That’s utterly insane and so laughable if I were a parrot, I’d have fallen off my perch! Firstly remove the gas that plants depend on, secondly turn it into aviation fuel so billionaires and so called celebrities can continue to travel the world and lecture us about flying less. It must be April 1st, Dings!
The Co2 is being recycled and/or reused I suppose, before being reintroduced to the atmosphere via the jets, perhaps better that they fixate on something like that than insane plots to block out the sun, for example.
Even more laughable is that it’s, in essence, using energy to unburn combustion products. About as rational as using electricity to produce electric dark.
Perhaps we could replenish the world’s coal and oil reserves by the same process.
Bloody
madness.
Hurrah! A 100-day cough! Have they isolated the responsible virus and given it a scary name? Well done to whoever came up with that one, excellent work.
I was at a Christmas concert last night in a large concert hall, all the local kids performing, lobby and bar packed at the interval. Not a single mask or sign of fear, lots of oldies. I accept that anyone terrified would not be attending such an event, but all the same it still shows that there are plenty of people out there who aren’t letting it stop them from living.
The term 100 day cough is, I believe, how the Chinese refer to whooping cough (told by a paediatrician 15 years ago).
Whooping cough is becoming more prevalent, because some vaccinated toddlers become silent carriers of the disease after vaccination. The biggest risk to new borns is vaccinated toddlers. So the answer is, apparently, more vaccination, this time including pregnant women in the stabathon.
Never had whooping cough as a kid, but I think I’ve had it at least twice as an adult, 10 years apart, after being around children. Wasn’t so bad, lots of vit C does the trick. Young eagle contracted it at school and passed it on, I got it worse than the 10 year old who coughed a few times in the night. If natural infection doesn’t give immunity, good nutrition and healthy lifestyle is clearly more important than any jab offering.
I can’t remember how many times, as a GP, I heard people complain they’d had their cough all winter. And not from occult pneumonia, but because that happens sometimes after viral infections. Certain bugs, certain physiological terrain, and certain winter weather, and it’s nothing new or unusual.

Good. Anyone who kicks the western establishment repeatedly in the balls, ideally wearing running spikes, gets a thumbs up from me.
