If you weren’t already gibbering in your boots at the prospect of devastating climate change, it’s time to think again. Apparently, the movement of water from the melting icecaps is slowing the rotation of the Earth.
The effect is so drastic that – wait for it – the next ‘leap second’ required to reconcile atomic time with the position of the Earth may need to be added a whole three years later than expected. Scientific American is one of the outlets with the story:
Drastic polar ice melt is slowing Earth’s rotation, counteracting a speed-up from the planet’s liquid outer core. The upshot is that we might need to subtract a leap second for the first time ever within the decade.
“This is another one of those ‘this has never happened before’ things that we’re seeing from global warming: the idea that this effect is large enough to change the rotation of the entire Earth,” says study co-author Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
The BBC’s World At One (March 28th 2024) wheeled in Professor Andrew Shepherd, Head of the Geography and Environment Department at Northumbria University to spell out the impending horological catastrophe.
He explained, deploying a colourful metaphor:
The mass [of water] moves towards the equator and spreads evenly around the planet. And that causes the planet to slow down in the same way that a ballerina spinner spinning would slow down if they moved their arms outwards.
Presenter Jonny Dymond was keen to make sure listeners understood this is no joke with a proposition masquerading as a question: “This is another message from the Earth that things are changing.”
Prof. Shepherd took the bait:
Yeah. It’s another bad news story unfortunately but it’s a good example of how climate change affects all kinds of different parts of our lives. You might not think it’s important that the Earth is slowing down but that changes all of the satellite telecommunications that we rely on and people have to take account of to make sure that the GPS system is as precise as we want it to be and all of that has to go on in the background because we don’t, we don’t programme those satellites but someone else has to.
“Are you surprised by this finding?” Dymond asked. Shepherd replied:
So it’s quite interesting. I was surprised that the fingerprint of climate change crops up in all kinds of different records. I was quite surprised to see that geodesists, people who look at the Earth and time, spotted it and, I guess, they were saying that what’s going on here something must be happening and they’re not climate scientists so they had to hunt around for the source of this and realised, stumbled upon the fact that our polar ice sheets are melting at a colossal rate and so they have to join the dots. And that’s science really.
“Join the dots”, “that’s science really”. So that’s how science works. Just come up with an all-purpose climate change hypothesis and stick to it.
As ever, climate change apocalypse news is predicated on the concept that at some nebulous point in the relatively recent past the Earth was in a perfect unchanging state of equilibrium. The Moon of course is slowing the Earth’s rotation down anyway.
As for GPS, that’s a 21st century problem. Just a few years ago Australia’s annual 7cm move north was realised to be why GPS systems and maps were out of synch with where the country’s maps were located.
How could that be happening? Presumably the melting ice in Antarctica is pushing the island continent which is now surfing north towards the equator. Obvious, isn’t it? All you have to do is join the dots.
You can listen to World At One here. Spin forward to 27:14 in. Or you can listen to Radio 4’s PM and learn how a nuclear war would result in a drop in world temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit thanks to the soot from nuclear fires, resulting in “large bodies of water becoming sheets of ice” (spin through to 57:35). Hobson’s Choice.
Better not tell the Child Saint that or she’ll be clamouring for nuclear war. At least the world would stop slowing down though, eh?

2023 is the year of the ‘polycrisis’, according to the WEF. Or should that be ‘polypsyop’?
”And what is the WEF’s “solution” to the very polycrisis that they created?
Or about 100% manufactured by the well over 80% “global leaders.”
In other words, according to the WEF the only answer is more of the same unelected and installed “penetrators”ushering in their hypercentralized One World Government dystopia.”

Honestly, their bullshit percentages don’t mean anything, they’re just the saliva flecked rantings of a megalomaniac. All of these ‘crises’, taken one by one, can be dissected and shown for what they are as you say – manufactured – in order to create the conditions ripe for the One World government. You couldn’t make it up!…er…actually…
The Mail again doing its best to induce another virus scenario , nicely timed leading towards May when the who (I’m not using capitals for that twisted shower) will I’m sure get their Global health power treaty ratified . Tedros is now joined by our very own Farrar & Michie “ Let the good times roll “
“Killing pet cats”: I did actually worry quite seriously about the safety of my cats in April 2020, when the “cats spread the virus” myth started, as by then we had all seen how so many people had total faith in Saint Boris’s lies, and handed over all their rights on a plate, begging for him to take even more from them. I was far more worried about the public believing everything the government said, than any mythical danger posed by a virus. Probably one reason the cat cull did not happen is that the government would have had to send executioners into people’s homes to do this, which would have clashed with the “nobody must see anybody” commandment, and said executioners might have been killed by angry cat owners, who would of course be at home, on Saint Boris’s orders. Perhaps the government knew they would never be able to get enough vets onside.
“Boris Johnson must take credit for not locking down for the Omicron variant”: Oh yes, give him a medal, as well as the £5 million he has allegedly earned since being PM, which was probably his only reason for becoming PM: he wanted the glory of it, and none of the work. It would have been better if he had resisted the calls for the first, second and third lockdowns, if he had made his trademark “I do things my way” into the decision not to copy the rest of the world. He would be far more respected now. Poor diddums, it’s a shame he never got the chance to stand at his podium and make a big announcement about the end of restrictions, because the spin machine was then all Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.
As for the Whatsapp messages: we need to be sceptical about this. It may be a double-bluff, a deliberate leak (haven’t we seen those before?), a stage-managed scandal, a damage limitation exercise, possibly planned three years ago, to make us angry about what might have been, so that they can say “we should have locked down harder, faster, longer”, and we are breathing a sigh of relief that they didn’t kill our cats, that all those who were in government are now out, having been replaced with more compliant puppets. I find it very hard to believe that killing cats was ever a serious consideration; this has “deliberate leak” written all over it. The spin “we didn’t know how bad the virus would be, so we had to lock down” is as clear as daylight here, and is probably the first in a long line of other things they “might” have done, so that we thank the Devil for not doing these things.
It all smacks of useful idiots being fed their lines by the stage prompter.
They killed the cats and dogs in the 1660s too, thereby helping the rat population. Nice to know we’ve moved on from such superstitious nonsense.
I still remember that bloody dreadful event in Australia where they shot the dogs in the animal shelter rather than have people travel over there to take them home. Because ‘public health’! Absolute sickos. What sort of a psychopath do you have to be to even consider doing something so evil?
There was similar madness on show during the foot and mouth outbreak of 2001. Locally, a man with a rifle dispatched a small herd of ‘contiguous’ sheep in an enclosure. His aim was poor but he was determined, and randomly fired at the poor beasts running about in panic until he had either killed them, or disabled them enough to stop running so he could administer the coup de gras. There was no penalty for his cruel actions.
I believe if the government had said to kill all cats, a large amount of covidians would have done the job for them, with local ‘seek and destroy’ groups set up to ‘keep us safe’. Sad to say, despite attitudes cooling a bit, I still think it wouldn’t take much to whip up a certain portion of the population into a similar hysterical response.
Having said that, the cat story is a very good psy-ops line to keep the population worried and anxious, isn’t it?
“… Saint Boris’s lies,”
They weren’t his. The populations of nearly all sovereign nations became entrapped by the WHO (CCP) narratives that were propagated using lurid imagery from China and northern Italy. With populations made suitably petrified and therefore suggestable most governments went along with what their citizens demanded – ‘lock me down harder, Boris’, or whoever. Opposition parties complained that Boris was not severe enough. This was all driven by Master Tedrous at the WHO and the CCP.
Kate Wand put together an excellent expose of Fauci and his relationship with the CCP. It is a conspiracy and it’s not a theory. In this video Chinese Professor Zhong Nanshan asserts that economies must not open up until everyone has been vaccinated which may take 2 to 3 years (Fauci agrees), while China was fully open and has not vaccinated it’s entire population. ‘Prof’ Nanshan goes on to say natural herd immunity will not work because it is unscientific and inhuman.

“The UN Discusses Darkening The Skies to Combat Climate Change”
And what God has given them the right to darken my part of the sky?
There’s actually some Hollywood film that is about darkened skies but that is because the Sun is dying not because of an idiot attempt at darkening our own skies in the belief that it would make a difference. It’ll just spread nano-particles all over the world and we have no idea what they will do. The ideas just get more and more ridiculous. Who are these scientists who suggest such things? More importantly however, who are the people who take the scientists seriously? Is there no common sense and balanced thinking going on in the UN corridors?
“Bird flu has mutated to infect people
Thankfully its not something us blokes need to worry about…
Of course it has. The assault is relentless – swine flu, avian flu, goat flu, dog flu, guinea pig flu, chimney flue…. Once the WHO gets its treaty signed, they’ll be able to dictate the response. That must never be allowed to happen.
With respect, I think you missed the word play on ‘Birds/Blokes’.
I agree we can see where this is going and I for one will not be playing along with anything the WHO says must happen. I do expect that our so called government will sign up to this horses arse of an agreement.
No, Neil, I totally got it but I was responding to the headline not your joke.

Toby says there was no plandemic. This is Robert Malone’s testimony:
The blocking of “early treatment” and/or “drug repurposing” as well as advocacy for genetic vaccines which were presumed (without adequate testing) to be “safe and effective” was supported by an aggressive, harmonized global censorship and propaganda campaign, with significant funding (~US $10 Billion) provided by the US Government.
In addition to US and global suppression (notably except in Mexico) of the prompt use of known (often off-patent) drug therapies to treat the respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 disease, and the disproportionate emphasis on genetic vaccine development and deployment, a number of other counterproductive actions were taken in the name of public health. Most or all of these were modeled after measures implemented by the CCP in China. In many cases, these actions were previously not recommended by the WHO or national health authorities, but these policies were changed in response to the fear of COVID-19. These included arbitrary “lockdowns”, prevention of public assembly, mandated use of particle masks which were neither effective nor designed for preventing viral transmission, arbitrary six foot “social distancing” policies, school closure, alterations in normal medical procedures (diagnostic testing and evaluation, elective surgeries), travel restrictions, vaccine passports and tracking, and many other related procedures justified as advancing “public health” objectives but which were not supported by established scientific evidence.
Much of the national US and global response was managed by the National Security apparatus and Department of Defense of the United States, acting together with the Department of Homeland Security, and these activities included a massive propaganda, psychological operations and censorship program which acted as part of a globally harmonized program in coordination with the World Health Organization, GAVI, CEPI, CDC, EMA and the BBC-Managed Trusted News Initiative to restrict public access and counter any information different from the WHO-approved narrative regarding SARS-CoV-2, COVID, drug treatment protocols and vaccine safety and efficacy. Distribution of any information contradicting official WHO or CDC messaging was deemed mis- dis- or mal-information and defined as potential domestic terrorism. The US Government, and many separate US federal agencies, coordinated closely with WHO, large technology and social media companies to censor and control all information concerning virus, drugs, and vaccines.
On top of a whole series of exercises simulating a globally coordinated response to the ‘next pandemic’ (Event 201 being the last) which Toby ignores, the above is powerful evidence that the governments did not merely take decisions on the hoof, uninfluenced by advisers who after 20 years of simulations already had a script to follow.
….agreed Steven..the withdrawal of treatments, of all kinds, is one of the most egregious things to have happened during the con..and I believe it cost many people their lives……they knew when they took HCQ and Ivermectin from the shelves in the US, that they could be used for treatment..
This study from 2005 shows that chloroquine is a ‘potent inhibitor of SARS’…
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1232869/
The fact that the study had been ‘fact-checked’ many times during the scam, tells me that they knew about it from the start and tried very hard to discredit it…
As an aside at least two people I know have recently had letters from the NHS telling them that they’ll be receiving testing kits as ‘there are now treatments for Covid-19 that can be prescribed” should you get Covid!!
Both of these people have had cancer in the past, but both are fit and well..and unvaccinated….
The treatments are Paxlovid, Veklury (Remdesivir), Lagevrio (Molnupiravir) and Xevudy, a monoclonal antibody……
As far as I’m aware, all new, and all experimental, with few studies, and no long term safety data…and in some cases some well known serious side effects.

Related to digital pound, on the two petitions to the House of Commons being looked at on Keeping Cash, they have commissioned a Survey on Acceptance of Cash. This must be completed by 10am on Thursday 9 March, but is very quick and easy to do. My including a link is likely to result in whole message being censored, but the link is available through yesterday’s UK Column News, being the last item on the topic of Parliamentary Petitions in the Summary
The first petition (making it unlawful for shops top refuse cash) is closed. The second one requiring businesses and public services is still open. The link is here: petitionDOTparliamentDOTukSLASHpetitionsSLASH622284 – .’s and /’s obviously
Lori Lightfoot has failed in her bid to be re-elected as Mayor of Chicago. I like to think her attitude and policies towards those who declined the gene therapy injection might have had something to do with it.
