Welcome To The World Of Alternative Food Brought To You By People Who Live In An Alternative Reality

 

Last week The Guardian ran an infomercial interview with Owenn Ensor, CEO of Meatly, the lab grown meat company that is perpared to work with any billionaire psychopath who wants to invest in making us eat fake meat. Among the pblic relations puff Ensor claimed “Cultivated meat is safer, kinder, more sustainable”

Just the next day The Guardian (again) reported on a “new study” that (shockingly) found “Plant-based meat alternatives are eco-friendlier and mostly healthier”.

Four days ago, another new study found proteins extracted from peanut shells could be used to supplement animal proteins.

And today a startup named Soylent Green Limited launched its product line of fake meat products synthesised from dead human beings, (Oops, sorry. That was a 1970s dysopian sci fi movie.) 

Good Food Magazine believes eating mealworms can cure diabetes. Medical journals are publishing pieces “investigating the health benefits of alternative proteins”

MSN is reposting articles from the Metro headlining: “Lab-grown meat is coming. Here’s why you might have no choice but to eat it”

It’s becoming pretty obvious that the ultimate objective is not to persuade us to eat insects of all kinds and protein made by processing toxic shite and sugar in laboratories , but to force us to do so by destroying real food produced by farmers and conventional agriculture. This process, using a combination of state regulatory coercion and/or taxpayer-funded bribes to farmers to destroy the agricultural sector, is already in full swing in the Netherlands, the US and other Western nations which currently feed most of the world.

 Thanks mainly to the fascistic manoeuvrings of globalist food corporations and their political puppets, food prices in shops and supermarkets are rising to the point where for the increasingly hard-up majority of people in the so-called developed world, meat, veg and fruit and dairy products will soon become unaffordable. Ultimately, it will be a case of “eat zee bugs” and drink the phony maggot-milk shakes or starve.

In the relatively poor nations of south-east Asian countries, it has historically been perfectly normal (and for many, economically necessary) to eat insects, grubs and creepy crawlies we Westerners would typically turn our noses up at, creatures including but not limited to snakes, small birds, scorpions and gastropods and of all kinds.

Mind you,I suspect even they might draw the line at maggot milk! 

If all this is making you wonder WTF is going on you are not alone. Many of us in the blogosphere and alt_news community are getting the distinct impresion that all this going green and 'net zero' bollocks is not really about saving the planet. To understand why we think this you first have to undertand how the billlionaire psychopaths make their money. It is not by manufacturing and selling products as in the past, b anut mostly by patenting and copyrighting anything that moves, breathes or farts and collecting licence fees, royalties, duties and franchises.

For years governments corporate businesses in the health and food production industries have been busy patenting parts of human, animal and plant genomes. This does not mean, for example, that before you eat a banana you must pay a fee to the organisation which holds a patent on the gene that makes bananas yellow, but that no other orgnisation can alter that gene to make bananas bigger and yellower without sharing thir profits with the patent holder. Patents are big business but biological entities are a problem for patent entrepreneurs.

An egg is an egg. Beef is beef. You can’t patent a cow or a chicken, and it’s quite difficult to prevent people keeping and breeding their own animals.

But when your product is a few thousand freeze-dried crickets or mealworms ground into a paste (including their eyes, intestines and faeces), mixed with chemical preservatives, thickeners and artificial flavourings to mimic real meat … well, you can patent the fuck out of that.

That’s part of the reason the edible insect and fake meat market is expected to grow to ten times its current size in the next decade.

In one of those ever-so-timely coincidences, the announcement of the new research project has just so happened to accompany  the launch of the UK’s new National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC), a £38million research project co-founded with Imperial College London (of Covid modelling fame).

Professor Karen Polizzi of Imperial’s brand new “Bezos Centre for Sustainable Protein” (yes, that Bezos) described the new initiative thus:

Transitioning to healthy, sustainable sources of protein is a pressing global challenge. The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre will help facilitate this transition by supporting researchers and industry in all parts of the process from product design through to consumer acceptance. At Imperial, we will focus on developing economical, sustainable processes for producing newly discovered alternative proteins on a large scale.”

The “alternative proteins” that are the focus of this  research being…

edible proteins that are derived from sources other than animal agriculture: from plants such as cereals, legumes, tubers and nuts; fungi such as mushrooms; algae such as seaweed; insects; proteins derived via lab-grown microbial cells or fermentation; and lab-grown meat.

It has also been widely reported that Bill Gates, the self appointed global vaccines Czar has invested heavily in fake meat and other fake food (maggot milk is one of his brainglitches, allegedly,) and you can be the rest of the usual suspects are in on the scam.

This goes a long way to explaining why governments are so keen to cover vast areas of prime food producing land with solar panels, or pay farmers not not grow food or produce meat, dairy products and eggs but instead let land 'return to nature,' (they call it 'rewilding' - we call it effing insane.) It is not about the money, but as always the real aim is to increase their power and control.

The Bilderberger WEF crowd, will keep flying kites in the media until they succeed in frightening us with another propaganda blitz to accompany their latest crisis or false flag Psyop; just like they tried to do with: Zika, Mad Cow Disease, Bird Flu, Monkey Pox or with a food supply problem they create so they can mobilize, intervene and resolve. Of course once they intervene with their social engineering plan things will never go back to full normal and we’ll be farther down the road to dystopia. Their playbook is extremely thin but they make incremental advances in their NWO agenda. The COVID panemic was just a trial run.

 

UPDATE 12 September 2024: 

Haitian Migrants show Remarkable Resourcefullness In Finding Free Food

While supporters of American presidential candidate Kamala Harris have been getting their knickers in a twist over her rival, former president Donald Trump saying during their televised debste last Tuesday that illegal immigrants from Haiti who have been settled in the rust belt state of Ohio have been stealing the pet dogs of local people and eating them.

"There is no evidence of this," claim Democrat supporting talking heads in mainstream media as if that proves Trump is lying to stir up anti - immigrant feeling. They obviously ned to be reminded that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. There have ben many allegations that incomoers from Haiti have taken domestic animals (not necessarily dogs,) for food and now a story has emerges proving Trump has a point even if he mis - speciesed the victims of the cime.

Although Harris called Trump a liar, triggering a pile on by leftist mainstream media as commentators trampled each other in the rush to label Trump insane and declare there is no evidence that Haitian migrants have taken any domesticated animals for food.

However, Ohio state Attorney General Dave Yost weighed in Wednesday in defense of former President Trump’s claims of Haitian migrants eating pets by saying there is a credible claim that they are capturing geese and ducks from city parks for food, the Daily Sceptic reports.

“There’s a recorded police call from a witness who saw immigrants capturing geese for food in Springfield. Citizens testified to City Council,” Mr. Yost said on social media.
He said those people “would be competent witnesses in court.”

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/sep/11/ohio-attorney-general-dave-yost-backs-claims-about/

Duck rescuer Lisa Montgomery, who has spent nearly a decade saving wild geese nd ducks in Ohio says an “unusual” number have disappeared recently and she “believes it to be true” that the birds are being “murdered for food” by Haitian migrants.

Lisa was shocked when she discovered the “unusual” amount of birds which have disappeared in the region, and now has “serious concerns” that they’re being “murdered for food”.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, Lisa said the sheer number of birds disappearing of late has far exceeded past summers in the region.

“I have over the years had many people reach out from the Springfield area. Recently with concerns of ducks and geese being murdered for food,” she said.

“I do have serious concerns over the issue and believe it to be true.”

Read the full story in the Daily Mail

Whatever you think about Springfield Ohio and the Haitian migrant invasion, one thing is crystal clear: the Haitians know a thing or two about finding free food.

Average Americans, who are living on processed junk food from the grocery store, will largely be clueless (and will starve) once the predicted, globalist engineered food collapse and financial collapse hit society. Migrants from impoverished third world shit holes demonstrate a much higher level of survival skills than typical westerners.

The story mentioned above confirms  Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, are catching and eating geese caught in the city park, a snack also known as "wildcrafted meat." Almost all of mainstream media have denied this is happeninf and those far left political activist sites known as fact checkers unanimously declare it false. And as we all know, if an online fact checker declares a story is false, you can be sure beyond reasonable doubt, it is true.

When things get extreme enough, you may see widespread cannibalism in America's collapsing cities as the loonytoons policies of Harris and her team of far left extremists take hold. Yes, people will begin eating people. After all, it's a "food" source (although insanely toxic) that's local, probably walking right down your street. Cannibals in America don't have to venture very far to find another meal. 

Remember the Deagel predictions show 200 million Americans dying in the next 15 months or so. That migh seem a far fetched claim, but  Kommie Kamala has already promised to introduce price controls to limit profits, which will only provoke a backlash in which corporate food suppliers simply take goods off the shelvesif they can't get the profits margin they want.

This will actually assist the globalists agenda of replacing educated, organised western working classes with uneducated, semi literate third world migrants. Street-wise incomers are not going to be affected by price controls. The geese in the city park are free, as are the cattle, sheep and pigs in a farmers field, the deer and wild birds in national parks. Price controls only impact those who pay for food, not those who steal it.

 

 

Scientists Caught Out In Another Fraud, Red Meat Does Not Cause Cancer
It should not come as a surprise to regular readers but I think most scientists are idiots, they fill their heads with book learning and theory and lose tough with reality. And as for cosmologists and theoretical physicists, well their Reality Quotient only registers in the negative zone of the index. But it's the food fascism scientists that really make me angry

The Best foods for protien are not those you have been told.
Another group of scientists proved to be crooks and liars interested more in promoiting the profits or corporations that provide their funding? Well that's the way it looks as evidence mounts that intensively farmed produce, particularly meat and dairy goods are not as rich in nutrients as when our ancestors ate meat and milk or cheese from naturally grazed cattle or eggs from free range hens.

Bansturbators Hidden Agenda - Abolish Meat To Make Way For Grey Goo.The bansturbators of Nanny State and the neo-Fascists of the New World Order are set on devivering us into the Brave New World promised a hured years ago by those who decided democracy would have to be superseded by a scientific dictatorship. Replacing natural meat in our diets with stuff made from grey goo grown in laboratories is the latest item on their agenda to go public.

Pasty Wars: Osborne's War On Pies Is War On The NorthThere is a growing cultural gap in Britain. When hapless Cancellor George Osborne delivered his budget for 2012 the effete southern media tried to stip up a controversty about the so called ganny tax. But here in the nothern heartlands, the true England, what pissed us off was Osborne's attempt to tax our hot pies.
Norwegians Rebel Against Fat PoliceWe frequently report of the activities of the Politically Correct Thought Police Food Fascist Squad and their incessant wars on tasty food, fat, salt and sugar. It is great for one to be able to report on a nation not far from us culturally of geographically that is staging a fightback against the control freaks.
Killer Red Meat Rport Was Faked By Health FascistsThe highly sensationalised research reported lkast week that identiufied red meat as a killer in our diet used manipulated data to distort the statistics, analysts have said. Good quality lean red meat in moderation (like anything else) does no harm. It is processed meat that causes problems. And who invented the processes that put the poison in our meat? Those conniving scientists of course.
Limp Wristed Vegetarian Nazi Scientists Want To Take Away Your SteakScientists Warn 'Red Meat Can Be Lethal', it is not only unhealthy but can increase the risk of death, according to a major US study.Now you quickly get to the nature of this science in the line above. "can increase the risk of death". Unscientific, scaremongering BOLLOCKS. We are all going to die, forget the delusional belief among scientists that they can immunise us against death, nobody lives for ever. So the risk of death is 100%, it cannot get any higher, it will not get any lower. Therefore you should read reports of this type of research with ...

Frying Pan FascistsNanny State and the food fascists who work for her have yelled at us about cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and idleness. Now these sad, busybody bansturbators are getting on our case about fat and fried food. But natural fat is not dangerous, only too much fat and the wronmg kind of fat is dangerous. And what is the wrong kind of fat. The highly procressed low fat spreads the bansturbators are always teling us is healthy. Science my arse.

The Best foods for protien are not those you have been told.
Another group of scientists proved to be crooks and liars interested more in promoiting the profits or corporations that provide their funding? Well that's the way it looks as evidence mounts that intensively farmed produce, particularly meat and dairy goods are not as rich in nutrients as when our ancestors ate meat and milk or cheese from naturally grazed cattle or eggs from free range hens.

The Mad Scientists Mania For Genetically Modifying Everything
Genetically Modified (GM) organisms? The science is setttled right, the only way to feed the world's growing population is to accept GM foods and hand control of the human food chain to some of the nastiest, most fascistic corporate busineses on earth, right? Well fortunately it is not as clear cut as that, independent research shows GM crops do not give increased yields and do pose very significant risks for humans, wildlife and the environment.

World Health Chiefs Say ‘Red Meat As Likely to Cause Cancer as Smoking’
Another way of looking at this article of course is to say that it is an admission by the WHO that cigarette smoking does not cause cancer, which while true is a dangerous thing to say because after non stop anti - tobacco propaganda for the past fifty years, such a statement would be open to being interpreted as meaning cigarette smoking does no harm.

Food health fascism: Salt, Sugar, Saturated Fat, Alcohol, Cheese, Fizzy Drinks, Chocloate, ... if you enjoy it, it will kill you - maybe.
We are all familiar with those health scare stories that seem to pop up in mainstream media at least once a week claiming this that or the other will kill us. Few people spot the irony in that a few days earlier the same sensationalist rag will have carried a story under a similar screaming headline, claiming that scientists have found the stuff being demonised is in fact good for us ...

After Cigarettes and Alcohol, The Government Plans Sugar Tax
The election may have put a Conservative government in power and consigned the pokenoses and busybodies of Labour and the Lib Dems to the political wilderness, but the bansturbators of the public sector march on, their war against pleasure, laughter, tasty food and anything that might put people at risk of enjoying themselves continuing unabated it seems.

Is Artificial Intelligence A Threat To Privacy And Free Speech?

 Businesses, government organisations and even our humble laptop and desktop computers at home are being under constant attack, not by hackers and cybercriminals but by Search Engine Technology Operators, Social Media Networks and online marketplaces. So what’s the last thing we need corportions like Microsoft, Alphabel and Apple to do? Actually it is the very thing they are doing, which is to make the attacks easier, and park the most sensitive data in all levels of systems in front of the house with a “take what you want” sign.

As companies and governments become increasingly obsessed with artificial intelligence (AI), they are not just creating back doors into software and operating systems, flinging open all the doors that really should be locked very tight – and in many cases, they don’t even know they’ve done it.

To illustrate the potential damage AI data mining could do, security expert Michael Bargury uses Microsoft’s own demonstration site fo their "software as a service" product" Microsoft 365. He easily makes changes to the business’s bank details; staff are oblivious to the change.

Bargury, chief technology officer of Tel Aviv-based security firm Zenity, is one of the leading experts in exploring how business Artificial Intelligence can be used for mischief.

This kind of attack exploits one of AI’s key selling points to business: its ability to automate repetitive tasks. Previously, getting a hack to work required knowledge of a scripting language to run Operating Sytem commands. Now, anyone can create a bot with a couple of clicks, and it’s turning hacking into a public sport.

In the past, many hacks also required hundreds of hours of social engineering and a bit of behavioural science knowhow to nudge individuals into clicking on the vital link. But with Microsoft’s Copilot and other business AI bots, all provided for the user's 'convenience' and to make computers more user friendly, people with relitavely low leves of tech skill can simply say a set of words and open a Pandora’s box. Bargury calls it “promptware”.

The typical Fortune 500 company already runs around 3,000 Copilot AI bots, and some 63pc of private business chatbots can be operated by the public. “All of the defaults are insecure,” an astonished Bargury discovered.

Things are about to get much worse.

While Microsoft has changed the defaults, the underlying problem is not fixable, which is that AI can’t distinguish between data and computer instructions. I may send you a one-line message wishing you happy birthday that contains hidden hacking instructions – and the AI will obliviously let it happen. It is what I have always called 'The stupidity of Artificial Intelligence.' To put it simply a modern computer can parse millions of words in alphanumeric text in seconds but have no inkling of what anything in ll that content means. The computer is not intelligent, it hs no mind, no consciousness, no moral compass, it merely compares and matches strings of binary data (not 'little ones and zeros' as many younger generation computer pros will unhelpfully explain, but miniscule negative or positive charcges of static electricity.

Microsoft claims it is constantly revising the “guard rails” on its large language models, but Bargury isn’t impressed. “Guard rails aren’t enough because it’s not a solvable problem,” he says.

Security has always been a serious inbuilt fault of Microsoft products. They default to 'open-ness'. The famous hacker Gary McKinnon got himself into trouble because he searched for Microsoft PCs where the default administrator account (name: Administrator, password: none) was not changed on public networks, including NASA and the military. He advised people that the easiest way to protect themselves from intrusion was just to rename the admin account and add a password!

The truth is Microsoft did not want people protecting their own system because that could make access to systems for puroses Microsoft did not publicly comment on more difficult. But this fact alone speaks volumes about how MIcrosoft views security and privacy

The idea of the new Recall feature defaulting to being on as opposed to being turned off is, imho, immoral and arguably even criminal. Microsoft claim, of course, that the feature is not a threat to privacy but a tool to help users keep track of their activity, but it is actually a surveillance tool, and the biggest customers for data scraped up by this tool are governments.

I am already aware of how to turn it off even though I will not be upgrading to a Windows 11 PC for some years. I have only recently moved on to Windws 10, like many other ol school computer pros I like to be well behind the bleeding edge. 

It should be a subject of legislation that all devices, be they a humble toaster, or work computer must come locked down during installation and that the user is forced during install to choose passwords and has to take active measures to open up devices to networks and AI rather than research how to lock them down. 

The biggest problem with AI (apat from its innate stupidity) is that it breaks down boundaries we have traditionally and for very good reasons, maintained in the offline world, where information was privileged, and was only shared on a need-to-know basis. Now we’re making everything accessible to anyone and anything that has a network interface.

Rather like The Suckophant, a cartoon monster in the Beatles’ movie Yellow Submarine, AI devours all the other monsters, then its creator (the Beatles,) and eventually the screen itself. In summary, it’s a lethal combination: we’re allowing far more people to do more stupid things far more easily, while exposing far more private information to the bad people.

Can Bus Sized Lithium Ion Batteries Power Britain

Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the pretty, peaceful English village of Granborough, Berkshire, has been around for over a thousand years without ever making the headlines on national news although it was mentioned in one of the James Bond films.

All that could be about to change however, the village has been identified as the potential site for not one, but two giant battery installations, "each capable of storing 10.6 Gw," according to the pre - publicity, and a solar farm.Energy companies Statera and Statkraft have applied for planning permission to build two 500-megawatt sites near a new electricity substation, arguing that the plan is needed to facilitate the transition to a decarbonised electricity grid.

The project has, predictably, provoked local opposition. “This might become an industrial area more than the farming land it’s been for the last thousand years,” says Jamie Ingham Clark, of the Claydons Solar Action Group, “Battery storage sites should be on brownfield – they should not take away our ability to grow food.”

Campaigners say they are particularly concerned about fire risk from the batteries, after a major fire at a facility in Liverpool four years ago.

However, they are fighting a David and Goliath style battle.

Across the UK, giant battery installations are being proposed as investors seek to capitalise on Labour’s plan to decarbonise the grid with a wind and solar boom.



Pillswood Battery Storage Site - picture credit: openaccesgovernment.org

 

 Unfortunately for the green loons and the windmills and sunshine harvesters fan club these ‘battery farms’ are not a suitable solution for balancing the intermittency of renewables and most will be used to regulate the power supplied to the grid instead. Thus adding to the cost of renewables and doing nothing to power us on still cold nights.

Observant readers will have noted that it is dark for more than 12 hours each day in the UK winter. The scientists who have promoted solar power as one of the mainstays of our zero carbon electricity system seem blissfully unaware of this although most human being have been aware of the absence of sunlight during the hours of darkness since men first stood erect.

Likewise a report on wind power commissioned by conservation group the John Muir Trust (read full document here - .pdf ) reported that the technology was failing to deliver, with wind turbines only opersting at 21% efficiency over the coure of a full year. Wind industry sources queried this, claiming the true figure was 27%. Whichever is right it explaines why, on a daily basis, we have to fill around 20% of our energy needs by importing power via underwater interconnectors from France, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway. And with France's nuclear power stations being by far the biggest contributor it explains why successive UK governments have not been willing to stem the flow of illegal immigrants across the Channel by intercepting the boats and lorries and sending the undocumented arrivals back.

The main conclusions of the report are that wind power is not producing the promised average levels of power and "cannot be relied upon" when electricity is most needed.

To power the UK just for 24 hours in winter would require tens of thousands of Tesla’s largest batteries. And they would be no use. Firstly because the wind/solar downtime could be several days. But even if it’s only the odd day, or night, they’d still be no use because, once discharged, there would not be enough ‘excess’ sun and wind to recharge them in time for the next still night.

The whole thing is a con. It cannot work.

Lithium Ion Electric Car batteries have proven problematic; they spontaneousky combust more easily than Spinal Tap drummers and once alight are exceptionally difficult to put out. If one of these mega stations does get damaged and catches fire will it effectively take out a whole site and surrounding buildings? Is this a low rise Grenfell on our doorstep? I don't know but I would like to see proper evidence of safety. 

How long would it be before they have to be demolished and replaced? How do you recycle them? How clean is the process to make them initially and their replacements. We are aware that solar panels are life of 25 years and they don't recycle well. 

We know the batteries are not clean when manufactured and use rare earth materials not produced in a clean way. We know the wind turbines blades have limited life and cannot be recycled. This is not clean energy or very recyclable and without huge subsidies hidden or not would not be commercially viable. Smoke and mirrors and a pack of lies!

The usual poor journalism standards we have come to expect in stories related to science and technology multiply exponentially when applied to grid scale battery storage: the number of GW (always quoted) is irrelevant,  the amount of stored energy in GWh they can release is what counts. 10.6GW of battery storage may minutes or hours of useful energy to power homes and businesses so if demand is a steady 2Gw per hour the supply will hold up for five hours.

Quoting GW is meaningless. We need to know how many GWh (gigawatt hours) of power they could provide. So if you could provide 50GW (i.e. peak demand) but only 5GWh, you can only cover that peak demand for 6 minutes and then the lights go out. Lithium ion battery storage is NOT the answer to stabilising a distribution grid supplied by intermittent sources like wind and solar.

The number of batteries required to supply the UK's electricity needs for a week would run to tens of thousands. And you do not even want to think about what happens when one of said batteries goes into thermal runaway when you have a field full of the things.

We do not have a suitable technology for storing sufficient power to render intermittent renewables a reliable source of energy. And lithium batteries are certainly not it.

Keir Starmer's Marxist And Trotskyite Policies Are Showing His True, Extremist, Authoritarian Political Nature At Last

Things have not gone as expected since Sir Keir Starmer became UK Prime Minister. While some commentators in the Conservative section of the media are still clinging to the belief that SStürmer (as I have taken to calling him since his authoritarian respone to anti - immiration protest,) is a decent man and politically a centre left Social Democrat. Surely, it was thought, such a moderate leader could not keep the ant - white racist David Lammy – who is, to put it politely, not renowned for his diplomatic wisdom – in post as Foreign Secretary. Nor could he retain the swivel eyed loony Ed Miliband, who has always been a climate change zealot, in charge of environmental policy. But there they both are. And the consequences have rapidly become clear Lammy has shown with his tireless efforts to piss off all our allies while Milliband is jst as enthusiastically engaged in dismantling our energy infrastructure.

Lammy's idiotic and meaningless restriction on arms sales to Israel is a slur on the Israeli government and a gift to the Corbynite wing of the Labour Party and the Muslim vote in some constituencies. Miliband’s war on fossil fuels and petrol cars has turned his title, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, into an oxymoron. In order to achieve the latter, he has discovered, we will have to sacrifice the former – and this at a time of war, global uncertainty and rising costs for 'renewables.

But the truth is SStürmer is governing as the far left extremist he always was. Look at his CV: Defender of terrorists, enable of rapists, friend of paedophiles, promoter of open borders, supporter of anti - semitism and opponent of free speech.

And SStürmer isn’t very bright so he isn’t even fully aware of the effect of his vindictive actions do to people who struggle each month to make ends meeet or to live decent lives in our increasingly lawless cities.

In his mind, taking away pensioners winter fuel payment is just hurting people who voted for Thatcher and would most likely vote Tory again. Ironically, under the new, misbegotten system I, one of the wealthier pensioners, will still get the winter fuel allowance due to a quirk in the ludicrously complex qualification system, (don't judge me, as there is no way I can opt out I have promised to donate the money to the local food bank.) As far as SStürmer is concerned, he can use power to take away from Tory voters (even poor ones) and give to Labour voters (even well-off ones, including train drivers on £100k per annum salaries including overtime).

Children are to be thrown out of private school due to a government policy forcing an increase in fees and will not be offered places in state schools waiting for them in the area where their family lives. Those in prion for the most heinous crimes are being released to make way for people convicted on protesting against government policy and he doesn’t care for the risk these murderers, thugs, rapist pose to the public. There’s something wrong with him. He wanted murderers free but wants people who did absolutely nothing physical but only expressed an opinion jailed for years

And what a terrible cabal of ministers he has filed his government with, all overpromoted, underqualified for the roles they fill and desperately short of life experience. Rayner with her workers' rights policies destined to hit businesses and employment; Miliband swivel-eyed as ever destroying our energy security; Bridget Phillipson ruining education for our children; Reeves the tax raider chasing away the wealth and job creators; David Islammy pandering to the extreme Muslim vote and Corbyn's little group in parliament while betraying our loyal democratic Israel ally; and Starmer himself supporting, and even originating, these devisive policies showing his hand as a vindictive class warrior epitomised by his sinister VAT on private school fees.

What have we the voters ( and more to the point those who didn't vote ) done to allow these extreme Left inadequates to govern us for the next five years?

The big lesson in all this is that our major political parties present them selves as one thing, to entice the voters, only to reveal their true nature when they get a chance in government. The Tories traded as Conservative only to govern as soft left. Labour suggested they were middle of the road to soft left and traded on not being the Tories. Those that did not know them for what they actually are, hard left with pent up grudges, do now. Unfortunately many of our voters do not have a very penetrating or discerning gaze and have to, “suck it and see” before understanding what they have landed ourselves with.

You have to look on the bright side. Starmer's shenanigans with the Mandelson - Epstein scanda; and the disastrous Chagos Islands givaway have finished him and his government. The Tories with a bit of help from us are well on the way to finishing themselves off. And on the other hand Labour has the opportunity to demonstrate what it is about and its strengths. A self inflicted wound if ever there was one. All this will allow us a reappraisal and the space to find something better and four years is about the time we need for that to happen, and as luck would have it, it is what we have got. We seem to need the pain, to get our attention, before we can implement a gain.

Diversity' Does Not Mean Quotas. Why Do The Left Have To Rewrite The Dictionary.
One might think, given the amount of screaming and shouting about diversity we hear from the left, they might take a little time to find out what it really means and stop applying their superficial and shallow meaning to it. The left however are hupocrites which is why they can claim to have a monopoly on truth and goodness while embracing the tactics of fascism in silencing opposition. Thus they have no problem reducing 'diversity' to a question of skin colour or sexual preference while insisting only one shade of opinion is acceptable.

Authoritarians Escalate The War On Free Speech.

 For around three decades now, in quite subtle ways, and more latantly over the past five years, American, British, Canadian, Australian, French, German and Brazilian governments have unleashed a series of all out assaults on dissent and criticism of authority against political opponents, weaponising the justics system against the exercise of free speech, introducing martial law, military occupations of major cities, government censorship of the internet, nationwide manhunts, televised raids and extended detentions without trial against those who challenge them or question official narratives. Most of those arrested have been guilty of political speech and protests generally far less violent than leftist riots by regime supporters, anti - racism protestors and supporters of terrorist movements.

Three of those leftist governments, the Biden-Harris administration, the Starmer and Lula regimes, unleashed crackdowns immediately after taking power , using various pretexts. The fourth crackdown, in Canada under the Trudeau regime, took place during an election year.
The pretexts, including UK’s anti-migrant rallies, Trump supporters rallies, Anti - mask and anti - lockdown protests are far less significant than the pattern of leftist regimes taking power and launching crackdowns against opponents who disputed elections or, in the case of the Starmer regime, protested against policies.

Governments that moan about “authoritarianism” abroad eagerly adopted every element of the authoritarian playbook from endless investigations of political opponents like Trump and Bolsonaro to declaring states of emergency over political protests and censoring debate. They often justify their authoritarian ad fascistic measures as necessary to stop their “far - right” opponents.
In the first stage of authoritarianism, the law is applied unequally, in the second stage of authoritarianism, inequality is written into the law, and in the final stage, the regime is the law.

The only thing free about any of this is that there are still elections and people are still allowed to vote in them. But democracy, as residents of North Korea’s Democratic People’s Republic of Korea could tell you if they had any free speech, isn’t actually freedom. Bringing democracy to Iraq just turned it into an Islamic theocracy run by the Shiite majority. In actual free countries, people have more political freedom than just casting a ballot once every few years.

In order discuss the constitutional legitimacy of the regimes mentioned a clarification is what is meant by ‘totalitarian’ is needed?Encyclopedia Britannica, an authoritative enough source for anybody I hope, states:
Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens. It is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression. It does not permit individual freedom. Traditional social institutions and organizations are discouraged and suppressed, making people more willing to be merged into a single unified movement. Totalitarian states typically pursue a special goal to the exclusion of all others, with all resources directed toward its attainment, regardless of the cost.

This is an accurate description of the current UK government, based on performance during their first two months in office and plans so far announced for the rest of their term!

 Ad in an interview shown on CNN, US Presidential candidate Kamala Harris took of the mask of the cackling Californian air head and reveled the authoritarian demon lurking behind it, revealing that she supports many of the anti-free speech techniques discussed earlier. She strongly suggests that X should be shut down if it does not yield to demands for regulation and censorship.

What is most chilling is how censorship and closure are Harris’s default positions when faced with unfettered speech. She stated on CNN that such unregulated free speech “has to stop” and that there is a danger to the country when people are allowed to “directly speak to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight and regulation.”

In the days of the Cold War, any criticism of a communist country would be answered with the standard “You are interfering in the internal affairs of the country”. With a lifetimes' experience behind me, I have come to fully support this attitude, i.e. leave others to get on with their own lives, unless a country is really committing some awful crime, like murdering its own citizens (e.g. Ukraine), in which case a remedy needs to be found.

Wannabe global hegemon, The USA likes to present itself itself as the world’s ‘international policeman’ but it only intervenes to its own benefit: there has to be oil or some other strategically important commodity involved or a lack of subservience to the US system for it to apply sanctions or intervene.

Are the Arabian states totalitarian? Many would say “yes” but is anyone bothered? If you read books written by people who have escaped from North Korea, you would definitely class North Korea as totalitarian but does anyone care? Is anyone attempting to change anything there? (Although to be honest, with NK's main ally China right nex door, pissing off Fat Boy Kim would be a terminal act of insanity.)

Many people in the west regard Islam as denigrating women’s rights but is anyone going to march into all the muslim countries and ‘sort them out’? It is less than 100 years since women were enfranchised to vote in UK. The last person to be tried under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 was in 1944, so I am not sure we should regard ourselves or our way of life as superior to the rest of the world.

To summarize, I think we should let people get on with their lives and decide how they want to live without the west imposing our ideas of ‘democracy’ on them. And any governments in lie 'liberal democracies' should treat their citizens to the same level of respect.
