A RANT on unsolicited advice arriving via the world wide web

 I was reminded by Facebook of this rant I posted in 2014 as a response to a swathe of advisory messages thellling me how much I would love the books of a certain author. It is reposted today because again I am getting very irritated with people (assuming they re people abd not AI bots although the stupidity of their advice suggestd the latter,) telling me what I should and should not enjoy, what opinions are 'right' and those which I must not entertain and most of all which protected charateristics I must never question or criticise. FUCK 'EM ALL.

I am sick of the mooey shit I see on the internet. Really I am. First and last thing I saw yesterday was a collection of supposedly inspirational quotes from that shittiest and most overrated of writers Paulo Coelho. Coelho's shittness is not my opinion, it's a fact. Coelho is one of those writers loved by the politically correct, bleeding heart left. All lefties will tell you how great his books are and how they will change you life.

This only proves that politically correct, bleeding heart lefties are illiterate because if they had actually read Coelho's books rather than just saying they've read them to impress other politically correct, bleeding heart lefties, they would know what a banal, infantile, meaningless pile of shit these pithy little literary wanks are.

People who think they will look intelligent because they claim to have read Coelho usually dismiss the characters in action novels or spy yarns as two dimensional. Coelho's characters are one dimensional (and that is being kind), so say the charm of them lies in the fact that they are like childrens' stories. Actually they are not, they are like stories written by a child - a child of very little intellectual depth. What we are told is 'profound wisdom' is in fact just the sort of pithy aphorisms everybody's granny used to say to us when we were little. And our grannies learned the stuff from their grannies.

And yet I get told Coelho has original insights on the meaning of life.

That alone should tell you he's a twat. You want an insight on the meaning of life? Try Albert Camus: "“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”

Or Immanuel Kant: "Objects exist in reality, only a human mind can surround them with space and time."

Or erotic writer Anais Nin (eat your heart out E L James) "There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.”

Actually Nin's quote is a rather verbose and much more nuanced summarisation of the plot of Coelho's best known work, The Alchemist which, in its entirity could have been written as a single sentence on a small post it note, "Follow your dream."

Yeah, that's it. Profound eh? It should carry a health warning on the last page for simpleton's who get that far, "Don't be a schmuck like this guy says, get a job and have a decent life."

If you want a life changing book try Huxley's Brave New World or Orwell's 1984, The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, Catch 22, Moby Dick, Tess Of The D'Urbevilles, (not my favourite Hardy novel but Jude The Obscure is a bit obIan Thorpe

A presentation at the World Government Summit (WGS) last week in Dubai, unveiled the conference organizers agenda for a Brave New World.

Drivers of these radical changes in the way we live will be Artificial Intelligence, robotics and climate change.

World Economic Forum Calls for Merging of Human and Artificial Intelligence to Censor ‘Hate Speech’ & ‘Misinformation’

Despite the fact that they represent only the interests of big business, big finance and themselves, the oligarchs of the World Economic Forum are now calling for a policy of merging human and artificial intelligence systems so that computer chips implanted in our brain can edit and censor “hate speech” and “misinformation” online before it is articulated trough spoken of written word online.

Could 'DNA editing' lead to designer babies? Designer babies, human / animal hybrids, these things have been in wet dream territory for scientists for a long time. But now due to techniques such as DNA editing, they are getting worryingly close to reality.

The Destruction Of Trust Is Diminishing Civilised Society

posted by Helena Hankart

 

There are many wholesome images we associate with the season of goodwill: trees bedecked with tinsel and baubles, elves distributing candy canes and enticingly-wrapped gifts, Mariah Carey frolicking in the snow with that corpulent fellow in a fake beard. And now we might also add to that list anti-terror crash-barriers and armed police at festive markets. God bless us every one.

Frustrations are running especially high due to the reluctance of our law enforcement agencies to be honest about the issue. On Tuesday, a British police force posted the following on X:

“Whilst you are out and about at events in the festive period, you may see some armed police presence. We appreciate that this can be an alarming sight, which is why we wanted to take the time to reassure you that these are part of routine foot patrols to deter serious criminality and not in response to any particular threat.”

It’s not difficult to detect the unsaid words screaming through this mealy-mouthed statement. There has been a radical shift in recent years which has meant that public events now require a perimeter of what some are sarcastically calling “diversity barriers”. These huge steel bollards and barriers are designed to prevent a repeat of the appalling atrocity in Nice in July 2016, when a Tunisian jihadist ploughed through crowds of families on Bastille Day in a truck, killing 86 and injuring a further 434. For the police to claim that there is no “particular terror threat” is unlikely to be believed by anyone with a memory more far-reaching than your average goldfish.

So much trust has been lost through underhanded deception, mostly for purely selfish financial motives. A highly moralistic generation that uses new modes of communication to seize control of the national conversation and impose its moral absolutes and which includes groups formerly outside of power have risen up tp take over the system.

There is something undeniably incongruous about the sight of happy-go-lucky police officers patrolling with lethal weapons at Christmas as though it were the most unremarkable thing in the world.

Is this the “new normal”? Has the very concept of the high-trust society depleted to such an extent that a visit to Santa’s grotto must now be supervised by uniformed men with machine guns? London mayor Sadiq Khan famously claimed that terrorist attacks are simply “part and parcel of living in a big city”.

The events of 2020—the coronavirus pandemic; the killing of George Floyd; militias, social-media mobs, and urban unrest—were like hurricanes that hit in the middle of that earthquake. They did not cause the moral convulsion, but they accelerated every trend. They flooded the ravines that had opened up in society and exposed every flaw.

Now, as we enter the final month of 2025, this period of convulsion hurtles towards its climax. Donald Trump is in the process of shredding the old order that hid its corruption and self interest undeer a veneer of politically correct thinking, latrerly known as being 'woke.' 

The outgoing president, unable to behave responsibly, unable to deliver even a short speech coherently, unable to even tell the country the truth about his own medical condition, has undermined the basic credibility of the government and arouses the suspicion that every word and act that surrounds him is a lie and a fraud. 

Finally, he threatens to undermine the legitimacy of our democracy and incite a vicious global conflagration that no sane person wants and that woulf would leave survivors trying to rebuild a charred and shattered civilisation. Trump may turn things around, but the conditions that brought him to power  were decades in the making, and those conditions will not disappear once he is sworn in.

 Social trust is a measure of the moral quality of a society—of whether the people and institutions in it are trustworthy, whether they keep their promises and work for the common good. When people in a church lose faith or trust in God, the church collapses. When people in a society lose faith or trust in their institutions and in each other, the nation collapses.

This is an account of how, over the past few decades, the liberal democracies became a more untrustworthy society. It is an account of how, under the stresses of 2020, institutions and the common social order of the free world crumbled and were revealed as more untrustworthy still. We had a chance, by resisting the pandemic hoax,  by rejecting BLM, by refusing to suport the proxy wars in eastern Europe and the middle east to pull together as a nation and build trust. We did not. That has left us a broken, alienated society caught in a distrust doom loop.

Billionaire Investor Hits Out at Disney Woke Activism After String of Box Office Flops

 

“People Go to Watch a Movie to Be Entertained, Not to Get a Message” - Nelson Peltz

Billionaire investor Peltz, whose stake in the Disney Corporation is worth an estimated $3.5 billion has declared war on Disney Corp. top management's woke agenda that has turned the company's output from hugely popular but intellectually retarded money spinners into expensive, boring, self - righteous flops. He has hit out at the entertainment giant over the use of all-black and all-female casts which they claim is done in the interests of diversity and inclusivity.

Peltz sided with accusations that the Hollywood behemoth has become too woke. He said: “People go to watch a movie or a show to be entertained. They don’t go to get a message,” and took issue with recent releases The Marvels and Black Panther, which portray female and black superheroes respectively.

In an interview with the Financial Times, the tycoon said: “Why do I have to have a Marvel that’s all women? Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that? Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-black cast?” 

Disney’s recent push into racially divisive casting is a resultv of efforts by the US company to balance its output after decades of films starring mostly white and male characters and actors, but the policy has fuelled criticism that Disney is focusing on political activism at the expense of attracting audiences.

After years of delivering blockbusters, Disney’s film studios, which include Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm, have suffered a string of disappointing box office openings.

Peltz certainly has a point, it is obvious from internet comment threads that many people struggle to understand how all black or all female casts are diverse. If the idea is to equate casts with current demographic proportions it will be difficult to make films unless based on stories about today.

In the UK the Asian proportion far exceeds black while both were insignificant until recently. Now, judged by the racial makeup of UK television and film casts the UK must be at least 50% non European but any film or TV drama set in the UK more than 20 years ago cannot accurately reflect demographics without falling foul of the Politically Correct Thought Police.

We The Punters do not want films and TV shows that are a factual representation of life. And drama was never about factual reporting of events, we pays our money and we takes our choice which is to see good stories, convincingly acted so we can suspend disbelief, with a satisfactory outcome. Don't tell the woke brigade this, they often prove they do not possess sufficient imagination to distinguish fact from fiction.

Disney are not the only company in entertainment media to adopt this crazy self-defeating agenda. What is difficult to understand is why corporations do this to themselves given that they can see very clearly by looking at the bottom line the damage it is doing and could even refer to the fate of other corporations who have attempted to serve the woke agenda rather than the tastes of paying customers. As a result of their follies the phrase 'Get woke, go broke,' has entered the language. 
 
Perhaps the policy is more subtle that it is given credit for, and the real purpose is to provide a  distraction from the decline of the western powers and the shift of geopolitical influence from west to ease, along with the effects of deindustrialisation  and the financial instability that go with political mismanagement. If that is the case it is not happening, but the woke mindset cannot change direction. The reasoning goes that if a product promoting woke ideology flops it can only be because the message was not delivered strongly enough. Next time there must be less entertainment and more preaching
 
What will happen next as western societies become increasingly fragmented, tribal and violent as a result of all this misguided propaganda?
 
There is a scene in The Lady From Shanghai in which Orson Welles tells Rita Hayworth about the shark feeding frenzy. Intitaially sharks might be drawn to a kill by blood and then they bite at the carcass and release more blood and more sharks arrive and as the kill is devoured, driven crazy by all the blood in the water they start biting at each other. In the end they are so crazed and ravenous that they bite at their own stomachs until they bleed out. This is the sort of madness that we are facing.

Tim Stanley, Daily Telegraph, 20 September 2021:

The cultural elite says our new culture secretary is uncultured, yet I’d wager she’s the first best-selling author to hold the job, and the only one I know of to have eaten an ostrich anus on TV, which sounds positively French. The appointment of Nadine Dorries – an outspoken former nurse, businesswoman and star of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here – is not a two fingers up to the culture industry but the direction of travel. That’s what so terrifies the gatekeepers.

Trans-women’s Milk As Good As Breast Milk, says NHS Trust


Picture source: YouTube

Is the no end to this politically correct lunacy in the NHS - no wonder the service is totally fucked up.

The lunatics who run The University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust (USHT) have stated in a letter to campaigners, that breast milk produced by a trans woman (i.e. ladyboy, cathoey, chick-with-dick, jock-in-a-frock,) who were assigned male at birth is as good for babies as that produced by a mother who has given birth.

The letter stated that the milk produced by trans women after taking a combination of drugs is “comparable to that produced following the birth of a baby”. The practice of artificially inducing lacation in biological males was the subject of a complaint last year by the Children of Transitioners, an organisation was founded by a woman whose father transitioned in an effort to provide support for children in a similar situation.

In an August 2023 response, The University of Sussex Hospitals NHS Trust defended its claims, referring to five scientific papers dating back to 1977 and pointing to World Health Organisation (WHO - the genocidist United Nations offshoot that recently gave you the mRNA killer jabs,) guidance and “overwhelming evidence” that “human milk” is better for a baby than formula milk.

It also references a 2022 study that found “milk testosterone concentrations” were under 1 per cent with “no observable side effects” in the babies. The study, on a very small sample of babies, lasted for five months and no long-term data was obtained. So they are happy to make such sweeping statements without any clue as to what might happen five, ten or twenty years in the future? How fucking insane is that?

Our qualified adviser on medical matters tells us for a biological male to breastfeed, they must develop milk-producing glands by taking the hormone progestin. A drug is required to lactate, such as domperidone, which is often prescribed to women struggling to breastfeed, and helps to stimulate the production of prolactin – a separate hormone that tells the body to produce milk.

Sussex University trust created what it called Britain’s “first clinical and language guidelines supporting trans and non-binary birthing people” in 2021.

Within its guidance were assertions about the ability of trans women to produce milk for a baby. We find it bizarre that the NHS strongly advises women (real women that is,) not to nurse a baby if they have had a glass of wine because of possible ill effects but now says it is completely safe to do so if your body is pumped full of drugs that nobody knows how they may affect an infant.

I also recall a Health Visitor warning my caffiene - loving daughter in law against drinking too much COFFEE while breastfeeding as it could effect her child. Where are Social Services in safeguarding the babies doped up, deranged snip-and-tuck jobs plan to breatfeed? Or do they actually support it because Diversity, Equality and Inclusivity? What absolutely sickening child abuse USHT is promoting.

Lottie Moore, of the Policy Exchange, which uncovered the letter, said the trust “is unbalanced and naïve in its assertion that the secretions produced by a male on hormones can nourish an infant in the way a mother’s breast milk can”.

USHT has removed the webpage where the guidance was published, but now links to an external website, La Leche League, which states it “supports everyone who wants to breastfeed or chestfeed in reaching their goals”.

Maya Forstater, the director of campaign group Sex Ma

tters, said: “For a chief executive and medical director of an NHS trust to prioritise trans identities over what is best for mothers and their babies is deeply disturbing.”

Milli Hill, a campaigner for women’s rights in childbirth, said: “Male people, however they identify or describe themselves, cannot breastfeed.”

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust said: “We stand by the facts of the letter and the cited evidence supporting them.”

The other question that needs to be raised related to the cost of these totally unnecessary treatments. With the NHS constantly complaining that they are strapped for cash how is it possible for them to pander to the whims of mentally ill people who delude themselves that they are something other than their biological sex how many people are being denied treatment for cancer, heart disease, respiratory problems, loss of eyesight and other such genuine health problems?

The eye-watering price tag represents the cost of the whole project (Google’s Sergey Brin was picking up the bill).

Roald Dahl Rewritten By Woke Censors

 

The kerfuffle this week triggered by a 'woke' publisher's decision to censor the works of children's author Roald Dahl, whose titles, including Matilda, The Witches, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, James and The Giant Peach and The Twits along with many others have been loved by children since the 1950s.

By removng many words which the 'woke' brigade consider 'insensitive' but are often important for their onomatopoeic value, the humourless, killjoy censors have also spoiled many passages which, as well as being funny in a childish way, also help young minds develop a love of language. 

Worse, in future there will be a patronising and moralistic message at the foot of the title page, which reads: “Words matter. The wonderful words of Roald Dahl can transport you to different worlds and introduce you to the most marvellous characters. This book was written many years ago, and so we regularly review the language to ensure that it can continue to be enjoyed by all today.”

Put simply this is telling readers or their parents, This is not the book that Roald  Dahl wrote.
 We, the woke elite' have decided that you, dear readers, are not intelligent enough to read the story as the author intended it to be read, so we have relocated it to a world where nobody is fat or ugly or skinny, stupid, dirty or poor and there are no men and boys or women and girls as the use of those words might offend fat and skinny, ugly, stupid, dirty, poor transexuals and non binary pansexuals.

In doing this the publishers have given themselves licence to edit any writer as they see fit, chopping, altering and adding where necessary to bring books in line with contemporary social and political sensibilities or, more likely, to ensure nothing is published that might prompt readers to question the narratives of the 'woke' agenda promoted by globalists.  Comparisons of the latest editions with earlier versions of the texts has identified hundreds of changes to Dahl’s stories.

Language related to weight, mental health, violence, gender and race has been cut and rewritten. The fat boy in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is no longer fat but enormous despite the fact that his name, Gloop, suggests rolls of gloopy fat wobbling around when he moves. Remember the Cloud-Men in James and the Giant Peach? They are now the non binary Cloud-People. The Small Foxes in Fantastic Mr Fox are now female. In Matilda, a mention of Rudyard Kipling has been cut and Jane Austen added although while children could be familiar with The Jungle Book they are likely to be at least a decade away from wanting to read Pride and Prejudice.

Dahl, who died in 1990, has consistently been one of the most successful children’s authors of all time with  more than 250 million copies of his books, which include novels such as The Witches, The Twits and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as his memoirs Boy and Going Solo sold worldwide. His stories are characterised by dark humour and unexpected twistlt so with an enormous sense of fun and the suggestion, loved by all children, that its OK to be outrageous in ways that their teachers would disapprove of.
