Nothing more ridiculous than the BBC in pompous crusading mode: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24q1n6905mo

 

They want to ban a pro-suicide website because it allegedly encourages members to take poisons that will shorten their lives.

 

Sounds exactly the same as the BBC was doing four years ago!

 

 

They don't like the competition.

Summary of the video (Gemini):

 

Gregory Marino discusses the serious problem of the dying US dollar and its potential consequences for the American way of life. He highlights the US dollar index's significant drop, the lack of support for the dollar, and the global awareness and action being taken in response. Marino criticises President Trump's call for a weaker dollar, arguing it benefits multinational corporations at the expense of the average person's purchasing power. He accuses the President and the Federal Reserve of deliberately decimating the dollar to usher in a new system of control.

 

Gregory Marino quotes President Trump saying, "I think we're in very good shape," but Marino questions who Trump is referring to by "we," implying it's not the American people. Marino is critical of this statement and suggests that, contrary to Trump's assertion, the United States is not in very good shape. After quoting President Trump's "I think we're in very good shape," Gregory Marino goes on to question who Trump means by "we" and clarifies that it's not the American people. He emphasises that the middle class is suffering along with the decline of the dollar.

Gregory Marino says that the United States has "literally become the laughing stock of the planet".

 

Marino also addresses the issue of manufacturing, stating that pledges to bring back manufacturing are deceptive because no one would build factories in a country where the dollar is being erased. He provides an update on the dollar index's continued decline and discusses the performance of gold, silver, and crude oil. Additionally, he touches on President Trump's potential extension of the 90-day tariff pause, expressing scepticism and questioning Trump's motives and understanding of the situation.

 

The speaker warns about the orchestrated nature of these events and the dire situation of the debt market. He criticises the government's handling of the economy and the deception surrounding the erasure of the US dollar. Marino advises his listeners to protect themselves by moving away from the dollar and investing in hard assets like silver and gold.

 

Furthermore, Marino explains the concept of de-dollarisation, where nations are actively sidestepping the US dollar in international trade, which he sees as a significant threat to the US. He accuses the President of being a "duppy" (a malevolent spirit) working to destroy the country and expresses his anger and frustration with the situation.

A Sprinkle of Artificial Sweetener Could Help Battle Drug-Resistant Bacteria

IMG_6326.jpeg.aa035906bab6f79d179cdc618b7ca740.jpeg

 

Sweeteners can have unexpected beneficial properties. Another good one is xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol found in beech and birch trees. I find it tastes cleaner and sweeter than common sugar, and it doesn't have any bad effects on teeth. It starves bad bacteria in the mouth, so helps to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

I’ve been so anti sweetener for a long time. Used to listen to Russell Blaylock. Even just checking the spelling of his name I realise how long it’s been since I ‘looked’ him up, and see he has recent articles on possible autism connections, for instance. Will have a look later now that I’ve seen that. 
 

My first impressions above were; if saccharine does that to bacteria, what the hell is it doing to good bacteria. Ok, that’s just my long time aversion to ‘it’ coming out 😂 😜 

 

Anyway; I’m also curious about the data from the world bank, and of course the mention of the WHO jumps out at me. 
 

I started looking again today ‘cause there was a headline on the world service with the latest ‘news’ on “antibiotics resistance”

However, it gives some people the most dreadful runs, so be careful

Well, perhaps better to use it on a wound than ingest it. Being cynical, since fewer and fewer people are using saccharine-based sweeteners, they need to find another use for it.

I've heard that too. I use xylitol as a mouthwash and then spit it out. I don't consume it with drinks or food. The taste is very pleasant, and IMO, much nicer than common sugar. Drinking celery juice can also cause terrible runs. I read a comment once, under a YouTube video extolling the benefits of celery juice. The comment was worth saving as a warning!

This celery thing should come with a WARNING! I tried this. On day four I chugged hack my celery juice then jumped in the shower. 10 mins later as I was walking back to my bedroom, I dropped my towel in the laundry and strode naked down the hall to the bedroom It was at this point I made the mistake of letting out what I thought was a small fart.

 

The result was more like a Jackson Pollock painting half way up the wall and along the floor behind me. In horror I immediately turned to rush back to the bathroom however, in my haste, I slipped in my own faeces, fell head first into a door frame and cut my head open.

 

Dazed, bleeding, and slightly confused, I dragged myself through my own 'fart chowder’, hoping to make it to the bathroom before the full force of the celery kicked in.

Unfortunately I didn’t make it. It was at this point when my wife came out of the kitchen to see what all the commotion was. According to her when she looked down the hall I was flat on my stomach with a geyser of shit spouting out my arse erupting like old faithful.

 

I still can’t think about it today without clenching my arse cheeks in fear. You have been warned!

I wonder if there are any esoteric links to this event...

A police car chase, near the roundabout where Raoul Moat shot a policeman some years ago.  Right near by is the Bishop's House, residence of the Bishop of Newcastle.

the Bishops House, not far from the scene of the crash

It was the house of the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, Robert Byrne, who replaced the brother of TV star Declan Donnelly. 

 

There were reports of orgies in the Bishops private quarters of St Mary's Cathedral, when Byrne was there.

 

Hexham and Newcastle bishop showed poor leadership and put children at risk, report finds

The Catholic Church’s child protection agency has severely criticised the former Bishop of Hexham for putting children at risk by promoting a priest who had “displayed a clear pattern of grooming behaviour over the years”.

 

Bishop Robert Byrne, who resigned in December after just three years and almost a decade before his retirement age, was also excoriated for his friendship with a convicted paedophile whom he tried to bring into his home and for whom he sought work in the diocese.

 

The report was scathing about the appointment by Bishop Byrne, an Oratorian, of Canon Michael McCoy as Dean of St Mary’s Cathedral in Newcastle and the bishop’s “inappropriate” friendship with a former priest, who was not named for legal reasons and who in 2014 was convicted of possessing hundreds of indecent images of children.

 

The CSSA said concerns were raised previously raised about Canon McCoy in 1996, 2007 and 2010 because of his “inappropriate behaviour with young people including the offer of foreign holidays and providing alcohol to them despite being underage”.

 

Yet Bishop Byrne brushed aside the warnings and insisted on appointing him dean, an act which showed a “lack of understanding” of safeguarding or a “complete disregard for it”, the final report said.

 

Canon McCoy replaced the late Fr Dermott Donnelly, the brother of TV presenter Declan Donnelly. Dermott died after an illness, aged 55.

Canon McCoy took his own life, aged 57, in April 2021 when he learned he was being investigated by Northumbria Police’s child and adult protection department over an historic allegation of child abuse.

 

------------------------------------------------------

 

Interestingly the other Bishop of Newcastle, CofE Dr Helen-Ann Hartley was almost solely responsible for calling out Archbishop Justin Welby for covering up the pedophile activities of John Smyth, which led to him stepping down.

Is this place on some kind of portal? Justin Welby's middle name is Portal.

Dunno, but it's the only way out of Gateshead as all the other roads (and the first part of that one) are either full of roadworks or closed and ALL the main roads are constantly  rife with accidents - not often police cars, but not the first. It's an obvious ploy to stop anyone leaving the (15 min?) shit hole that Gateshead is now. The Council (and "Mayor") are all totally woke morons, so ...

Of course, Ant and Dec were orignally child actors (and had a single - remember PJ and Duncan?), so they no doubt have dirt on someone

Seems like there's plenty of dark energy in that location. Doesn't the place name also make you think?

Hex-ham

Wherever there was a big church presence, you can be sure darkness follows.

Must be something.....one of them was "disgraced" a year or two ago - a road accident, wasn't it...and/or drugs....yet here they are, still peddling their crap on our screens like nothing happened.

And Hexham itself has an abbey. Don't go to Norwich, more churches there than anywhere else in the country.

Sounded to me like his MKUltra programming was breaking down around then, as it does with so many of them. Then they're slapped into rehab and re-programmed.
