Scales falling – an observational study
I’ve mentioned a few times here how interesting it has been to see, mainly via social media, many leading practitioners of science gradually morphing into conspiracy theorists over the course of the COVID affair. Prospectively it was fascinating to see the gradual unraveling of belief in what we were being told in so many individual cases, culminating not only in disillusionment about the state of science and medicine, but the embracing of suspicions about the dark forces behind it. Retrospectively, it is of huge, but under-recognised, significance that an unprecedented number of the most rigorously evidence-orientated professionals have come to wear tin-foil hats.

Essential workers
It’s taken me a while to figure out what it is that consistently annoys me about such a worthwhile provision as the BBC local TV news. In fact, it took my reaction to King Charles’s first Christmas broadcast to achieve the realisation that I’m not simply a jaded cynic. I am a jaded cynic, but not simply one.

When is religion not like religion?
There are some news articles and YouTube videos around concerning the discovery of the fabled star catalogue of Hipparchus (c190-c120BC) as a palimpsest in a mediaeval manuscript from the ancient monastery of St Catherine on Mount Sinai, whence also came one of the oldest near-complete manuscripts of the Greek Bible, Codex Sinaiticus.

Innocent as doves… but wise as serpents
I don’t know if the story about the black charity boss and the lady of the bedchamber at Buckingham Palace has gone round the world to you (if you’re outside the UK). You’ll easily find it if not, and I can’t be bothered to describe it in detail.

Worshipping the god Parsimony
Following on from yesterday’s post, and from the parallel article on “Degrowth” as a national (or international) government policy to which I linked, I’ve been thinking about the ideological logic behind such policies. In essence, they are a hangover from eighteenth century Malthusian beliefs.

Net Zero = Year Zero
The Great Reset project, or whatever the reality behind the slogans is, plans its machinations in secret – kind of. In fact, as I’ve sometimes outlined here, much of it is published openly in books and websites, and yet is carefully kept out of public awareness through distraction and obfuscation. Hiding things in plain sight and calling them “misinformation” is good propaganda, evidently. Even so, one’s focus tends to become sharper over time, as is shown by the very fact that so many ordinary people now have some grasp of a Great Reset and rightly perceive it as a threat, rather than a promise.

The Book of Revelation meets Flannelgraph
Once one has become awakened to the full depth of the corruption and deceit currently swallowing our world, life gets more uncomfortable in many ways. Apart from the small matter of losing friends, not only can one not unsee what one has seen, but each day’s news brings new (and depressing) insights into how the whole mess fits together.

Trust and obey
So this FTX crypto outfit was fraudulent, and apart from fraudulent money-laundering payments to a certain fraudulent government in Europe and back to Washington, was also the sole funder of the influential, but fraudulent, Together Study of repurposed drugs for COVID. This fraudulently dimissed all the useful drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, in favour of the fraudulent, exorbitantly priced, and deadly patent drug Remdesivir, but mainly to clear the ground for the fraudulent mRNA genetic drugs. Many thousands have died as a result, and of course many ordinary people have also lost their money. Isn’t it lucky that all the politicians who endorsed it, like Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, … Continue reading

Why Britannia fell apart when the Romans left
In a discussion on The Duran, US commentator Garland Nixon proposed an interesting explanation of the Neocon strategy in the Ukraine War. Or at least, one of their strategies, apart from the most obvious one of engineering regime change in Russia and plundering of its resources as a stage leading up to doing the same with China.

The heavens declare the official narrative
I’m beginning to notice, in my own country, that people living in a propaganda state tend to lose their humanity and become more xenophobic and more, perhaps, “brittle” in their dealings with others.
