This is what happens when a world is built around a system where psychopaths control everything.

They don’t care that everything is going to die, in fact they’re probably cheering it on.

It’s time for those of us capable of love, empathy & compassion to reclaim this world.

It comes down to whether you choose hope or hate. A clear choice, don't you think?

The one crucial point that is missing from commentators on Palantir is that Peter Thiel is an all-out financial backer of Free Cities.
These are private, segregated enclaves where big government can no longer intervene.

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

"Most of the Epstein Files remain sealed. But those we have seen have given us a rare and brief glimpse into the depravity and immorality of the ruling class...It is our moral duty to demand better."

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. Β£240 million contract last month"

"That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group"

"The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about β€˜women and girls’ have nothing to say.

My decision to retire was not a sudden one. I am coming to the end of a four-year retirement contract that I signed in the fall of 2021. That year I decided I no longer wanted to teach at Harvard. We had just endured almost two years under the university’s strict Covid regime. This was a form of emergency governance that mirrored to a fault the whole country’s uncritical acceptance of The Science and its proclivity, when backed by public power, for tyrannous invasions of private life. At Harvard, professors were told we had to lecture in masks and give seminars on zoom. Neither practice accorded with my idea of liberal education.

The reason this Harvard history professor decided he was done with one of the best and most privileged jobs in the world was, in his own words, because he was forced to lecture in a mask during peak Covid.

I’m not making this up.

Screenshot of a Courier Mail health article titled β€œCovid alters brain structure long after infection, new Qld study finds.” The subheading says Queensland researchers found COVID-19 can significantly alter the brain long after recovery, with MRI scans showing lasting changes even in people without ongoing symptoms. Below the headline is a photo of a desktop computer displaying multiple colorful brain MRI images arranged in rows, with another monitor showing a brain scan beside it. The article is dated December 16, 2025.

When my son was 1 world leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C.

By the time he’s 13 we’re likely to hit a yearly average of 1.7C.

A childhood defined by corporate greed, political corruption, media complicity & public apathy.

The Great Betrayal.
