I can't stand any of them. They're contributing to the decline of humanity. lol.

Fearne Cotton has been through a lot. She left live TV over mental health issues with extreme anxiety Has a mental health wellness company, written many books, had kids, split up, had tumours in her jaw, all in 10 years. Tv is a tough business if you aren't in the sicko gang of pedos et al.

Curious that his girlfriend Fearne Cotton, linked to the BBC, had no idea of what he was up to. When one of his other girlfriends spent around 10 years tryiing to alert the police and anyone else connected to him of what he was up to, only to be fobbed off, even though she had copious amounts of evidence. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-15190129/Holly-Willoughby-reaches-old-friend-Fearne-Cotton-paedophile-ex-Ian-Watkins-killed-bars.html Plus Peaches Geldof, who also tried to blow the whistle on him. Clearly Satanism is behind it all.

I feel a lot of English people misguidedly use Israel-support as a proxy for their own nationalism. Being pro-English, pro-British military, etc, is considered highly "controversial", it's much easier to be pro-Israel and pro-IDF, than defend the British army in Northern Ireland say. Just look at how the band "Kneecap" frequently make highly anti-British and anti-British military comments, and no one cares and certainly no one demands they be prosecuted for it. Being pro-Israel allows you to virtue signal most right wing nationalistic talking points without getting yourself into trouble. Being pro-English and pro-British military, etc, can easily get you into A LOT of trouble, legal or otherwise.

Maybe, and that is quite some ordeal. But it still doesnt get away from the fact that I cant believe she didnt know what Watkins was up to, enough to blow the whistle, which could have prevented a lot of his further heinous activities against children from happening. If so, she was perverting the course of justice. And you say not in the sicko gang, but she is BBC royalty, related to Bill Cotton, a major player at the BBC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Cotton BBC head of light entertainment (1970–1977) Controller of BBC1 (1977–1981) In 1970, Cotton was promoted to head of light entertainment.... In this position, Cotton was responsible for overseeing the production of a whole series of popular variety and light entertainment shows, including Jim'll Fix It Mental health charities and books (and cancer) seem to be a good cover for some of the worst offenders in these offences. See the royals.

Am I misremembering or was she and Hollyby Willoughby spotted as schoolgirls and chosen to do lingerie ads? The school was one with a lot of dodgy links and past stuff.

Well that itself is another issue that seems to get overlooked by the mainstream media! Which is one reason why I suspect these news stories about "white English Universal Credit scroungers" is an attempt to distract and deflect attention away, and get people wound up and angry for all the wrong reasons. I remember reading some book a few years ago now, and I forget the name of it right now, apologies, but it was an eye-opening read for sure. In one chapter the author described how Romanians who came to Nottingham (when there was freedom of movement from the EU) were being advised by local groups/organisations on how they could sign up for and claim welfare benefits, which meant that they didn't have to work and could essentially live in the UK on 'free money'. I don't know how true that account was, but it certainly doesn't surprise me. I know at the time we had a lot of Polish people arriving in the UK, and to be fair they did come here and work hard, and I know this because I worked with a great number of them. I know that Romanians do get a bad rep, mainly because we've seen so many news stories about them being involved in crime, but they're not all bad sorts, I've known a few genuine good ones too. But yes, there is a big problem with the country's finances if we are spending huge amounts of money supporting the lifestyles of unemployed foreign nationals, whose visas have surely expired by now, unless they have obtained 'right to remain'. And add to that, the huge amounts of money being paid to support asylum seekers and refugees.

I agree so much! People don't seem to know how to just research something on the internet anymore. They rely on their apps or social media for all information?! Crazy!

I have had a huge journey around all things frequency. My spiritual awakening was all about that. Frequency can heal mind and body. Check out Rife for the various healing vibrations just for cancer. We are all connected, that's why those who think they control us use fear so much as a tool of control. Hive mind... Lots of evidence re coordinated meditation in conflict zones lowering tensions there. Thats why it also really matters who you surround yourself with. We can get addicted to anothers energy signature. Check out these for starters: Cymatics - visual representation of tones Binaural beats- sync both sides of the brain via tones in order to concentrate, learn or meditate easier Sofreggio tones which clear blocks in the chakra system Meditations using a single sound, such as Aum. The Harmonic Egg which is a capsule you sit inside which heals with light and sound. Frequency is the core of what humans are.

I believe it is coming out in January. I just finished the Reveal. Great book! Can't wait for this one to come out!

Indeed. And 'Jewish' is classed a both a religion and an ethnicity. So being pro-Israel (and even Starmer admitted to being a supporter of Zionism) is to support a form of ethno-nationalism when the same word applied to English, or Whites etc is classed as far-right and extremist. Supporting a Palestinian state is also ethnic nationalism, though the left would hate to call it that. The contradictions are out in the open now and it's getting harder for the ptb to hold their philosophy together and keep multiculturalism from unravelling. It's called two tier justice in the MSM but much of this is like a safety valve for people not getting into all that trouble you're referring to. https://www.thejc.com/news/sir-keir-starmer-tells-packed-jlm-labour-leadership-hustings-he-would-not-describe-himself-as-a-zionist-r5mxdcoc

Hi and welcome to the forum It's been a long time since I've been into this, but the basic rule of thumb is that it gets easier with the later writings. Eg the letters of Paul (Paul) and the book of Revelation (John of Patmos). Even though there is debate and disagreement about even these. There's a theory that some of the earlier Gospels such as Matthew and Luke were based on a lost document called the Q source. Though most of the Gospels used a disciple's name as the title without being authored by them. Going back into the Old Testament, it gets even more difficult, especially if there was a period of oral tradition before being written down. There are some similarities between the OT stories and sources from Babylon and the Sumerians, such as the flood story which appears in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and creation stories. It's likely the Israelites picked up some traditions from other cultures like those during their exile. So it's often not possible to pin down a single author, but it's more of a timeline of narratives passing through history and different cultures. And the Christian Bible is a compilation of texts chosen from a larger set according to what the 4th C church decided to make into its canon. There were a lot more than just 4 Gospels for example. To muddy the waters even more, some books like the Apocrypha are in a grey area called Deuterocanonical scriptures.

I never really use facebook (fakebook) as I can't stand seeing people showing off and how many "friends" they have. but I have been using it lately to join groups of things I am interested that I couldn't really find anywhere online, stuff like community groups where people share past photos of the town I live in. Facebook groups of hobbies and pastimes such as TV shows past and present are very popular, and I have to admit they can be a good place to chat to like minded people. The problem of course with facebook groups is the admin idiots who run the groups who dictate every rule and will ban anyone who doesn't abide the endless list of rules, so if you're talking about things like why there is so much woke on TV, then you're likely to get banned from the group for simply just mentioning it. Facebook groups seem to be replacing old fashioned website forums. Not a good place to be though if you're talking about subjects we talk about on here.

Quite a few others have had breakdowns and left, some to return. And ofcourse BBC DJ Tim Westwood has just been arrested, when many knew what he was up to for decades.

What gets me is ppl taking pics of their coffee/cake/meal or updating everyone on the fact they just took a dump.

With the focus of those who claim benefits being typically on spongers and fraudsters, I think most people fail to appreciate that the lion's share of welfare benefit expenditure goes on pensioners. This is demonstrated via the DWP's "benefit expenditure and caseload tables" available on the link below. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/benefit-expenditure-and-caseload-tables-2025 I have snipped from the "Benefit summary table" tab and have highlighted specifically the expenditure relating to pensioners. Taking the current 2025/26 financial year as an example: Out of a total forecast spend of £303.1 billion, £174.9 billion relates to pensioners equivalent to 57.7%. Expenditure on working age people is, in comparison, £123.1 billion (40.6%). The remaining 1.7% is spent on children. Also worth noting is that, of the same £303.1 billion, £154.6 (51%) relates to "contributory" benefits which can only be claimed by people with sufficient work history and national insurance contributions. This includes the state pension and certain out of work benefits which aren't means-tested. Only £97 billion (32%) is "income-related" and therefore means-tested. Within this, Universal Credit (UC) will be found alongside Pension Credit and Housing Benefit. The "non-contributory / non income-related" benefits are those involving people with disabilities and carers and make up the remaining 17% of the welfare bill. Furthermore, I think these tables only relate to central government expenditure whereas pensioners probably take up even larger proportions of localised social care funding. Old people need looking after and carers / care homes etc don't come cheap. The point I am making is that, whilst undoubtedly such cases do occur and quite commonly in some areas, stories about working age lay-abouts on benefits don't necessarily paint a true picture of how the welfare budget is being spent. Most of it is spent on pensioners and others who have contributed who quite likely have fallen on hard times. What must also be said about UC is that it does, for many people, provide quite generous "work allowances" and then a 55% earnings taper which usually does mean people are better off working when claiming it. Earning a sufficient amount also provides exemption from the benefit cap. The individual stories you linked to could possibly derive from a misunderstanding of how it is calculated but it would be difficult to say for certain without fully understanding the circumstances of the individuals concerned. The UC caseload now consists of one in six payments being made to foreign nationals. That isn't to say that they aren't also working as well as claiming UC which is entirely possible, however, it does call into question how economically active many of the foreign nationals in the UK are and why would we want to keep inviting them in if they cannot support themselves without public funds. I agree wholeheartedly that our nation should be looking to invest in proper training and life skills development for the young and unemployed rather than importing labour from other nations. It makes far more sense to open up opportunities to the existing unemployed (including NEETs) and reduce the unemployment bill rather than keeping those out of work de-skilled, broke and disempowered whilst draining the nation's coffers. It crosses my mind often that controlled demolition is at play with a restructuring of society (digitalised, naturally) waiting in the wings. They've been cutting the welfare bill for years with the Welfare Reform Act of 2012 (which took effect from April 2013) bringing much of the worst of it including the benefit cap, bedroom tax, changes to the local housing allowance rules and slashing of legal aid. The two child limit and changes to child benefit also followed. So it wouldn't surprise me at all to hear of further cuts. I still see things heading towards UBI whatever short term measures are taken in the meantime.

Fine with me! No smartphone, no X, no FB, no Insta, no Tik Tok. Happy days!

That's a bit true! I was at some event the other week, and some guy was asking me about an amusing t-shirt I was wearing. He asked me where I got it from, as he wanted one as well. I told him the name of the company (Newsthump) and the first thing he asked me was "are they on Instagram?" They probably are, I don't really know as I don't use Instagram myself! I tried explaining that he just needed to search for them on Google, and you can buy from their website. Maybe he'd had a bit to drink, because he looked utterly bemused by what I was telling him to do, like I was speaking a foreign language! This wasn't some young kid either, he must have been near the same age as me! But this is the thing for many people hooked on social media and 'apps', it's like they've forgotten there's a whole internet out there, outside of whatever social media app you use/depend on. I'm reminded of when I first ventured onto the internet many years ago now, when I signed up with AOL. You got some program called 'AOL Explorer' and it gave you all this online content, which was amazing (at the time), but it was very much all 'curated', and only let you explore what AOL wanted to provide you with. It took me a while to realise that I could actually use Internet Explorer, and then find a whole 'world-wide web', outside of the constraints of the AOL browser. It seems to me that social media, and 'apps' in general are taking us backwards.

Israel and Palestine seems to be yesterdays news… Russia and Ukraine is last months news… Even climate change and Covid are lacking media enthusiasm. is this the calm before a storm? What’s next?

His recent health issues and "accidents" were a warning, then. Now he's a good doggie.

WHERE'S WALLY? COMPETITION!

Back then this was comedy And how the world is today

This is one of those things that "sounds good in theory"... How will the EU's new border system work? from: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c39rkpe8mj2o "Strengthen security and ultimately make travel smoother" Which is all very well and good if you're travelling "legally" I suppose. But it doesn't seem to do anything about "illegal immigration"? All the places where people 'legally' enter the EU then. Well, I guess a lot of people might be inconvenienced by having to queue for a bit longer than normal! My concern is that this doesn't appear to address the issue of those who enter the EU 'illegally' and then take advantage of the Schengen Area to freely move through Europe in their attempt to smuggle themselves across the Channel and into the UK! It's quite amazing really, to be able to 'legally' travel to/from the EU, lets say to go on holiday or for a business meeting, then you have to pay for that privilege As well as go through all the fuss of having your fingerprints scanned etc. Of course, this doesn't affect illegal immigrants at all I suppose, and they'll continue to be waved through with no questions asked!

I also feel that the solution which will be presented to solve this problem will be UBI. The articles seem to be asking for a reaction in classic Hegelian Dialectic form. Perhaps with the comments turned off, a release valve is being denied to allow for resentment to simmer offline. The main themes of the articles are that the women involved are scroungers and being called out as such by "trolls" online with sympathy coming from some quarters. One of the women bemoans having to attend the Jobcentre to sign on fortnightly describing the experience as "mortifying". There are suggestions that Universal Credit leaves them "stuck" on social security support - it is pointed out that they would be no better off working and can receive "free money" "to do nothing" instead or to raise their children. Having children is a theme too with one mother prioritising spending on her appearance rather than her children but, equally, she does budget well. UBI could be presented to solve these aspects of the "broken system" alongside other issues too such as scrutiny of the bank accounts of pensioners claiming means-tested benefits. If everyone was simply paid a flat rate, it could mean: No more need for Jobcentres, signing on or medical assessments. Claimants won't feel have to undergo a demeaning tick box experience. People will truly be better off if they work as UBI will not be reduced according to earned income. It would provide an incentive to work and whether or not to do so would become a choice. Parents could choose to be with and raise their children guilt free rather than working thus supporting better quality childhoods. People could take time off to re-train, study or volunteer. Pensioners would be left alone in their dotage. No more need to scrutinise the bank accounts, income, capital and other circumstances of benefit recipients. Hard working people may no longer feel hard done by and that they are subsidising the lazy and work-shy. The end of benefit fraud. The end of complaints about benefits scroungers. It's a divisive topic which could be put to bed. Government expenditure on the vast majority of social security administration would no longer be needed. In all honesty I can see the appeal of UBI which, on the face of it, could make for a much fairer system with more freedom and choice for all. In his earlier works such as It Doesn't Have to be Like This - Green Politics Explained, DI was in favour of UBI in order to cover everybody's basic living costs so that nobody would be cold, homeless or hungry. DI posited that it would eliminate poverty and unemployment traps and the "repulsive means test would be gone forever" thus easing fear and insecurity. However, it will surely come with strings attached and dovetail with digital ID and all that implies in terms of overreach and tyrannical control. In my view, it's not the overriding concept of basic income that is the issue - it is whose hands it is in that is most concerning and I think this is where DI is now coming from too. Rather than providing freedom and choice, it could become the "road to serfdom" and dependence on the state especially within the context of increased automation making more and more people unemployable. When dependent and over a barrel, they've got you. https://davidicke.com/2021/04/04/universal-basic-income-and-the-road-to-serfdom/ Call me distrustful, but I have grave doubts about the intentions of the technocrats, so-called "philanthropists" and other powerful individuals who will surely be behind such an initiative.

Ervin Laszlo wrote "Humanity's Sacred Mission: Restoring Our Evolution to the Planet" (2024) with Charles Eisenstein and Suzanne Giesemann, foreword by Deepak Chopra and afterword by Kurt Johnson. Charles Eisenstein - On May 15, 2023, Eisenstein announced that he had taken an advisor's position in the campaign of then-Democratic (later independent) Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[15] In that capacity, he participated in a fundraising event, held June 27, 2023, bringing together several prominent anti-vaccine activists, such as Mikki Willis, Sayer Ji, Del Bigtree, Sherri Tenpenny and Joe Mercola.[16] According to federal election filings, Eisenstein was paid as much as $21,000 per month for his services to the campaign.[17] After Kennedy dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump, Eisenstein wrote: "I am not joining Donald Trump’s campaign, but if I have the opportunity to seed ideas into his mind, his message, his campaign, or his administration, I will do so. I would do the same for anyone in a position of institutional power. If such people are open to any element of the new-and-ancient story I serve, then I am available to meet them in their openness."[18] In subsequent articles, Eisenstein refused to confirm or deny whether he is "pro-Trump" or "anti-Trump."[19] As an activist, Eisenstein has been involved in the Occupy and New Economy movements. In other writings, he has also advocated for universal basic income.[32] Suzanne Giesemann ...is a spiritual teacher recognized on Watkins’ list of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.

Ervin Lazlo wrote the book "The Survival Imperative: Upshifting to Conscious Evolution" (2023), which was endorsed by the usual New Age crowd and also by a businessman with yet another Jewish connection, Lord Stone (Andrew Stone), a Jewish Peer. "This book allowed me to understand Ervin Laszlo's belief that the Universe is conscious - and it also helped me to know what I could do, to feel a unique part of it, and to enjoy helping humanity and the planet progress positively." - Andrew Lord Stone, Member House of Lords, UK Parliament. In 1977, Andrew Stone came to the attention of the prominent Jewish Zionist and chairman of Marks & Spencer (M&S), Sir Marcus Sieff, who took him on as his personal assistant and became his mentor. Andrew worked for M&S for 33 years. Marcus Sieff, like his parents, was a leading figure in UK Zionism. He was asked in 1948 by the first Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion, to become an adviser on transportation and supplies to the Israeli Defence ministry. Sieff joined the Israel Defense Forces and helped co-ordinate Marks & Spencer goods and finances to support the new state. The initial drafting of the Balfour Declaration (addressed to Lord Lionel Rothschild) was the work of a group of Jewish and Christian Manchester Zionists. Among them were Simon Marks and Israel Sieff, partners of the famous Marks and Spencer stores, and Harry Sacher. They were helped and encouraged by C.P. Snow and Herbert Sidebottom, the editor and correspondent of the Manchester Guardian newspaper. Lord Stone was a former Labour Party member of the House of Lords. He was joint managing director of Marks and Spencer. He is a governor of the Israel based Weizmann Institute of Science and honorary vice president of The Movement for Reform Judaism. He is a patron of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, the Gauchers Association, the New Israel Fund, the Jewish Chernobyl Children, the Orphaids charity, The Forgiveness Project (as of 2004) He is a member of Labour Friends of Israel.[12] In October 2019, he was suspended from the Labour peers group after the House of Lords standards committee found that he had harassed four female colleagues and made transphobic remarks. He also repeatedly used the N-word in evidence to the commissioner in a bid to defend his conduct.[7] Stone wrote of yoga: "I am a practitioner and advocate of mindfulness and yoga. I practice these, and want others to join, not just for health but to change the way I think and act. When one is at the normal, everyday, lower level of consciousness—at one’s amygdala—where we have a “fight or flight” response, one thinks only of me and my family, and now and next week. When one is able to experience mindfully a higher consciousness, one starts to think of the wider good of all beings, and the longer perspective of all time. People are waking up to the realisation that we need to think and act in this long term, selfless, compassionate way." https://www.sohforum.org/speaker/lord-andrew-stone-of-blackheath/ Andrew Stone and Ervin Laszlo attended as co-hosts "An evening honouring the legacy of Lawrence Bloom" at the House of Lords in London. "Lawrence was appointed the first Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Global Agenda Council on Urban Management and he was a current alumna of all Agenda Councils. He was former Chairman of the UN Environmental Programme, Green Economy Initiative, Green Cities, Buildings and Transport Council. Lawrence enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the property industry. Among several senior positions, he sat on the Executive Committee of the Intercontinental Hotel Group from where he managed their $3Bn.global real estate portfolio. Whilst there he created an environmental manual for the group that was adopted by Prince Charles and is now in use in over five million hotel bedrooms worldwide." https://beearthfoundation.org/lawrence-bloom/ Note- if you are on a mobile phone, you might have difficulty with the following hyperlink for the above Bloom evening: https://www.calameo.com/read/001891479bdc61a6ca4b2 Bloom was Secretary General of the "Be Earth Foundation", a United Nations Intergovernmental Organization which has consultative status to the UN General Assembly with direct access to senior government officials and Heads of State, global development institutions and leading financial organizations. In 2017 Bloom was voted by SALT magazine as among the top 25 most Conscious Global Leaders. In 2016 Lawrence received an award at the UN from the Humanitarian Innovation Forum for Conscious Leadership. A Be Earth Foundation member was Chris Rockefeller Linstrom, a Board Member of the Rockefeller Foundation. A Be Earth Foundation Adviser was Harvey Goldsmith, an English performing arts promoter with Jewish parents! He is best known as a promoter of rock concerts, charity concerts, television broadcasts for the Prince’s Trust and more recently the Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall. In 1985, Goldsmith promoted the Live Aid concert held at Wembley Stadium in London. Bloom was a principal adviser to Barbara Marx Hubbard's "Foundation for Conscious Evolution", funded by Laurance Rockefeller. Writing of mindfulness, Stone said in a magazine interview: "I am now convinced that conversations between science and spirituality needs to be developed so that Mindfulness practice and Compassion (Metta Bavana) are linked inextricably. RB: In a recent debate in the House of Lords about the Queens Speech, you talked about the importance of mindfulness, going so far as to urge the Government to “apply the relevance, importance and urgency of mindfulness to all that they do,” and to “make Britain a mindful nation”. Why did you say this and how was it received? AS: The Government is open to this suggestion and has agreed to accept this report on 20th October this year.
