It's interesting though as I heard some people even in the 'truth movement' almost defending these non mRNA options as not gene therapy, as an option if forced to be vaccinated instead of the mRNA pfizer types. Seems they were wrong ( as we thought, said, were laughed at, etc)

Anyone picked up on this yet? Adenovirus delivered gene therapy ( same as the ChadOx Oxford vaccine delivery system) and the other non mRnA vaccines. Openly described as GENE THERAPY delivering DNA to permanently alter genes. From the New Scientist but widely reported in the MSM. "Gene therapy trial shows early success in people with haemophilia B In a small study of 10 people with haemophilia B, nine were still forgoing the condition's standard treatment about two years after receiving a single gene therapy injection HEALTH 21 July 2022 By Jason Arunn Murugesu A form of gene therapy has shown initial success in treating a rare form of haemophilia, but whether the treatment will be effective in the long term is unknown. Haemophilia B is a rare genetic condition that prevents blood from clotting effectively, sometimes causing life-threatening bleeds. It occurs due to a genetic mutation in the X chromosome that leaves people unable to produce sufficient levels of the protein factor IX, which is crucial for blood clotting. It is currently treated by regular injections, usually weekly, of laboratory-produced factor IX. Despite this treatment, some people continue to have debilitating joint damage. To test the potential of gene therapy to correct this genetic fault, researchers at University College London, the Royal Free Hospital in London and the biotechnology company Freeline Therapeutics infused 10 adult men experiencing haemophilia B with a single dose of a treatment called FLT180a, administered via an adenovirus-associated virus. Any form of haemophilia is far more common in males than females as the latter carry two X chromosomes and therefore only experience the condition if both their chromosomes are affected or if one chromosome is missing or non-functioning. Twenty-six weeks after the gene therapy was administered, all the participants had increased factor IX levels, which varied according to the gene therapy dose the individual received. About two years later, this response was sustained in nine of the 10 participants. At the start of the study, all the men had factor IX levels of 2 per cent or less of what is considered normal. At their last reported check-up, this ranged from 23 per cent to 260 per cent in the nine participants, depending on their gene therapy dose. Moreover, the nine participants no longer needed to undergo their previous treatment regimen of factor IX injections. “Removing the need for haemophilia patients to regularly inject themselves with the missing protein is an important step in improving their quality of life,” Pratima Chowdary at University College London said in a statement. This form of gene therapy uses a packaging from the proteins found in the outer coat of the adenovirus-associated virus to deliver a functional copy of a gene directly to an individual’s tissues, compensating for the gene that isn’t working properly, according to the researchers. Newly synthesised proteins are then released into the blood. The participants will be followed for 15 years in total. “The long-term follow-up study will monitor the patients for durability of expression and surveillance for late effects,” said Chowdary. Based on the evidence so far into this type of gene therapy, John McVey at the University of Surrey in the UK thinks the participants’ factor IX levels will drop in the long term. In addition, people cannot receive this specific gene therapy with the same type of viral vector more than once. “The body might recognise it [the viral vector] as foreign and increase antibody levels, which immediately bind to the virus and neutralise it,” says McVey. The therapy also requires participants to regularly take immunosuppressants to ensure their body doesn’t reject FLT180a. Long-term use of immunosuppressants has been linked with an increased infection risk. McVey says it is unclear how long the participants will need to be on immunosuppressants. Of the reported adverse events in the study, about 10 per cent were related to the gene therapy and 24 per cent to immunosuppression. A serious blood clot occurred in one of the participants who received a high dose. Overall, McVey says the findings are encouraging: “There’s a lot of work to be done but it’s very promising.” “There’s a big difference between one injection that cures you for a particular length of time compared to replacement therapy – which is what we use now – that requires injections at least once a week for the whole of their lives,” he says.

They can't not be. Look what they did to Corbyn when he tried to stand up for Palestine.

It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..." "You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?" "No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford. "It is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards?" "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?" "What?" "I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?" "I'll look. Tell me about the lizards." Ford shrugged again. "Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happened to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it." "But that's terrible," said Arthur. "Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.

Or sexual demands. It's historically happened in every civilisation.

So is religion involved?

No I'm not in fact your post prompted me to start a thread drilling down the WEF, which I've been meaning to do for a while so thank you. I'm genuinely intrigued with the RBE concept but trying to see how it differs and how it may or may not work.

Klaus Schwab openly talks about humans having brain implants for thoughts to be read and Elon Musk former Young Global Leader for the WEF owns neuralink. There's no coincidence there. Yuval harari the right hand man for Klaus Schwab talking about humans being hackable. Very near future totalitarian regimes lots of 'useless' people.

I'll kick it off with this vision of " you will own nothing and be happy" that after much internet backlash they have removed from their website. Copied from Forbes Still plenty of links showing this was endorsed by the WEF. LEADERSHIP STRATEGY Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better World Economic Forum Contributor By Ida Auken Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city – or should I say, “our city.” I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes. It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much. First communication became digitized and free to everyone. Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier, quicker and more convenient than the car. Now I can hardly believe that we accepted congestion and traffic jams, not to mention the air pollution from combustion engines. What were we thinking? Sometimes I use my bike when I go to see some of my friends. I enjoy the exercise and the ride. It kind of gets the soul to come along on the journey. Funny how some things seem never seem to lose their excitement: walking, biking, cooking, drawing and growing plants. It makes perfect sense and reminds us of how our culture emerged out of a close relationship with nature. In our city we don’t pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there. Once in a while, I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy – the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes. Since transport became free, we stopped having all those things stuffed into our home. Why keep a pasta-maker and a crepe cooker crammed into our cupboards? We can just order them when we need them. This also made the breakthrough of the circular economy easier. When products are turned into services, no one has an interest in things with a short life span. Everything is designed for durability, repairability and recyclability. The materials are flowing more quickly in our economy and can be transformed to new products pretty easily. Environmental problems seem far away, since we only use clean energy and clean production methods. The air is clean, the water is clean and nobody would dare to touch the protected areas of nature because they constitute such value to our well-being. In the cities we have plenty of green space and plants and trees all over. I still do not understand why in the past we filled all free spots in the city with concrete. Shopping? I can’t really remember what that is. For most of us, it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun, and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now. When AI and robots took over so much of our work, we suddenly had time to eat well, sleep well and spend time with other people. The concept of rush hour makes no sense anymore, since the work that we do can be done at any time. I don’t really know if I would call it work anymore. It is more like thinking-time, creation-time and development-time. For a while, everything was turned into entertainment and people did not want to bother themselves with difficult issues. It was only at the last minute that we found out how to use all these new technologies for better purposes than just killing time. My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. Those we lost on the way. Those who decided that it became too much, all this technology. Those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and AI took over big parts of our jobs. Those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. They live different kind of lives outside of the city. Some have formed little self-supplying communities. Others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages. Once in a while I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me. All in all, it is a good life. Much better than the path we were on, where it became so clear that we could not continue with the same model of growth. We had all these terrible things happening: lifestyle diseases, climate change, the refugee crisis, environmental degradation, completely congested cities, water pollution, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment. We lost way too many people before we realized that we could do things differently. This blog was written ahead of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils.

Sort of fits under the great reset thread but this is specifically for all things Klaus Schwab, his advisors and the World Economic Forum's multi layered thoughts for humanities future.

It sounds remarkably similar. The WEF idea was renting goods. We would all get a package based on a lot of criteria including social credit that gave us 'points' to 'spend'. In the RBE system I don't understand how goods are allocated. As people are selfish and do hoard. And without incentive msny don't work. Not everyone I do agree. Our allotment has a lot of sharing and support to whoever needs it.
-
This does sound great and what I would certainly want. But time after time these sort of groups evolve into cults. Has that been considered and how is it avoided? So, we will own nothing? And be happy?
-
I have felt for a very long time now that it is not power that is wrong with the world but abuse of power. Power in altruistic loving and caring hands can be a good thing. As you point out many humans look to experts and advisors, leaders for their steer. Abdicating responsibilty to another. Really it is an extension of the parent / child relationship many still crave into adulthood.My fear is that over and over humans have shown an inability to evade corruption by power such that inevitably an AI type power / control system will be introduced. Removing responsibility from the human race completely. They'll probably even call it something crass like 'mother'.

Exactly this. There's a collective munchausen's attention seeking to all of it. From the posting of the 2 stripes test, daily updates ln what sounds like a cold to 'beating covid' like 'kicking cancer's arse'. They're getting a kick out of group worry. If I see one more " get well soon hun" I'll scream. Sorry. Rant over. Where were we? Oh yeah...a new wave of the common cold is coming let's dig a bunker.

More longer term but regular deep meditation visualising your grown up self walking back to your childhood home. Entering (under your own steam you have permission now, you're an adult). Go to yourself as a child. Hold them. Tell them you've got them, it changes, it won't always be like this. You're looking after them. Also when you as an adult needs help or steering ask your future self. If time really isn't linear then these things help. Practising this belief that I have me, I will help me, has really helped over the years.

Also being rumoured on twitter that Durham police are going to charge Keir Starmer, which, if he keeps his promise means he stands down too. Interesting times. What's for sure is whoever is in charge will be corruptible , manipulated and powerless following the already in place plans.

Nitrogen utterly vital for fertile growing soils.

Yes all our vegetables are now our own home grown. Do you compost ? It's almost miraculous what even beginners like us get from garden waste. The allotment is great, one chap there has had an allotment since he was 15 he is now 87, on two walking sticks and still has an incredible allotment 3 times the size of ours. He's forgotten more than most ever knew. One unbreakable rule is cattle manure in September for winter mulch. The storing of seeds is something I would like to learn more about.

Hmm. Source "The Conversation" but search The Satanic Temple and abortion and it's everywhere. They have claimed abortion is part of a religious ritual. "The devil is in the details The Satanic Temple raises important questions about what counts as a religion. Opponents of the group argue that abortion is a medical procedure, not a protected religious practice. But The Satanic Temple’s lawyer, Matthew Kezhaya, points to a 2009 case, Barr v. City of Sinton, in which Texas pastor Richard Barr was told the halfway house he operated violated a zoning ordinance. The Texas Supreme Court ruled that excluding Barr’s halfway house from the city violated Texas’s RFRA law. Key to this argument was the court’s statement that, “The fact that a halfway house can be secular does not mean that it cannot be religious.” Likewise, Kezhaya argues, abortion can be both secular and religious, depending on context. Kezhaya also disagrees that outsourcing the enforcement of abortion to private lawsuits makes the state of Texas immune to judicial review. He compared this situation to “racially restrictive covenants” of the Jim Crow era in which white residents signed legal agreements never to sell or rent their homes to African Americans. The Supreme Court initially declined to hear cases challenging these covenants because they were considered private contracts. But in 1948, it ruled that a court enforcing these contracts was a state action that violated the 14th Amendment. The Satanic Temple also has an even more creative strategy. The Food and Drug Administration, which controls the distribution of the abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol, is subject to the federal RFRA law. The Satanic Temple sent a letter to the FDA explaining that its prescription requirements illegally burden their abortion ritual. Currently, these drugs are only available with a doctor’s prescription, and the doctor must adhere to any state restrictions before providing them. The Satanic Temple proposed an accommodation in which Satanic women can obtain a doctor’s note indicating only that these medications are safe for them to use, and then receive medication directly from The Satanic Temple rather than a state-approved provider. In an interview with me in September 2021, Kezhaya, The Satanic Temple’s lawyer, admitted this was experimental territory. Assuming a court approved this accommodation, it could legally make The Satanic Temple a pharmacy, in addition to a religious entity, because it would be distributing controlled medications"

Allotment diary June 2022 northern hemisphere. Organic. Sowing. Salad crops and pak choi Planting Sweetcorn planted in May looks incredible so I went and bought some seedlings to get extra as too late to raise my own , I would not do this normally but this is our first year of sweetcorn and clearly it loves our soil and position. Growing Autumn sown onion sets still growing well harvest soon Onion seed sown in April are now size of large spring onions. Potatoes growing really well. Cavello nero growing and ready to be picked. Perpetual spinach still cropping daily. Spring cabbage recovering after a pigeon and rabbit combo tried to decimate it. New broccoli ready in record time. Broad beans superb pods some ready. Runner beans really struggling and I don't know why. They're normally easy. Looking around the other plots everyone is similar as far as peas and beans go. Rosemary, bay leaves, mint, lemon balm remain excellent. Wild garlic I am leaving to rest and self seed. Rhubarb new crown this year doing well. Asparagus bed first year so left dormant no cropping is flopping everywhere. Other people have built supports so we need to do the same. Harvesting Spinach cut and come again continues. Fennel bulbs continue although quickly going to seed so this one is at it's end. Can sow again September for an Autumn crop. Courgettes daily from just 4 plants could feed family of 6. Broad beans first pods are beautiful and easy. Covered in blackfly but not affecting the crop. First early pototoes up and out lovely. Seed collection Fennel, spinach. Jobs Hoeing daily. Comfrey feed ready. Use watered down for flowers and fruits Net cabbage broccoli and cavellero nero to prevent pigeon damage. Reinforce nets where 'Stew' our allotment rabbit entered. Tips Don't wash soil off garlic when harvest it needs to dry. Rhubarb is great in lamb dishes think of it as alternative to apricot. Also makes incredible lamb Insectwatch Ladybirds still really thin on ground, everyone reports same. Wonder if the local farmers are using new pesticides. Pestwatch Aphids big problem, blackfly everywhere.

The above thread was done a while ago on remote viewing and has a lot of information including the internal government reports on testing subjects for ability in this area. the main binaural beats I use to get into a meditative state ~(for want of a better description) is ambient sleep music. I don't find it puts me to sleep but into a calmer less "noisy" frame of mind. There's tons of these albums out there and everyone's brain is different and you HAVE to use headphones or it is pointless.
