David Icke´s comments on the recent push for disclosure and Steven Spielberg´s movie "Disclosure Day". TL/DR: It´s an op, since the aliens are really evil.
Overheard on my own blog: "People become atheists because enormous woods of fern-like trees from the Carboniferous were preserved as coal deep underground. Then, some British homo (sapiens) found a way to exploit it for a profit, and presto!".
As in: the Industrial Revolution disenchanted the world...
A propos the current situation in the UK. Yes, it´s possible that Nigel Farage and Reform will win the next elections, in part because of the recent murder in Southampton and the way the local police (mis)handled the situation. The murderer was a Sikh, presumably of Indian descent. The victim was White and British.
So Farage might become the next British Prime Minister. Promising to stop Indian mass migration. In power, he will then import even more Indian (and other) migrants. Because neo-liberal capitalism needs the cheap labour, obviously. And because of the demographic crisis more generally.
And that´s that. We now resume our regular programming!
De senaste dagarna har jag vid två eller tre tillfällen sett uttrycket "rasifierade" (på engelska "racialized"). Men herre-fucking-gud, den här terminologin känns så 2012.
Dessutom är den absurd, eftersom de "rasifierade personerna" (okej, de är inte längre "kroppar" utan faktiska personer - whoa, framsteg, kamrater!) av allt att döma *vill vara rasifierade*. Är inte det själva poängen med identitetspolitiken?
Okej, låt mig gissa. De vänsterungdomar som blev radikaliserade circa 2012 sitter numera i ledningen för diverse organisationer...och har helt enkelt fortsatt med den floskulösa retorik de fick lära sig första året på kulturvetarlinjen?
Woke-vänstern stretar på...

Why did Nigel Farage accuse the Russians of having hacked his mail? My guess is that he wants to signal that he isn´t pro-Russian. Meanwhile, a number of newly elected Reform Party councillors have been expelled due to...you know...racism. In other words: Reform is just a new version of the Tories. Which we knew already.
So presumably a future Reform government will continue importing guest workers to the UK (including from the EU!), while stripping both native-born and foreign workers of their rights. Like the Tories.
But sure, maybe Nigel can at least convince Woke quangos to stop being Woke. But since the UK was just as Woke under Boris Johnson as under Labour, I wouldn´t count on that either.
Well, at least he won´t conspire with Trump and Vance to sell out Ukraine. I hope.
Great Tartaria and the Mud Flood is one of the silliest conspiracy theories on-line, at least in its current iteration. The whole thing looks like a conscious parody of Erich von Däniken. Maybe it *is* a next level LARP?
Däniken pointed to various ancient monuments *outside Europe* and wondered who could have built them. Aliens, maybe? The people who believe (or pretend to believe) in the Mud Flood point to modern Western architecture (sometimes as recent as the early or mid 20th century) and gasp in wonder. "Surely, only Giants could have built this?!" There is apparently a video on-line called "Tartarian Wales", which claims that the Cardiff Central Station must be the remnants of an unknown but very advanced civilization!
At the same time, there is *something* fascinating even about this utter insanity. It could be seen as a strange metaphor for the decline of modern civilization. The idea seems to be that we´re not smart enough to have built all the large buildings around us, and simply moved in when the original creators (the Giants) were wiped out in a mysterious cataclysm. Obviously, we have to deny this, claiming *we* built everything. Our entire civilization is really primitive and built on a gigantic lie - and we´re all in on it.
This is a *very* distorted picture of the true state of affairs, isn´t it? Indeed, in 200 years, maybe something like this will be un-ironic orthodoxy among the few remaining savages...
A competent Hindu critique of the Western obsession with the Manusmriti. I read something similar in a scholarly source, so this is probably close to the truth.
Hmmm....
This guy was wrong about Göbekli Tepe and the Eye of Sahara, so is he wrong here, too? Awaiting the next debunk. Maybe.
A small "grassroots" breakaway group from the ISKCON manages to enter a Boy George book signing event without tickets, et cetera. Kirtan follows (of course). Note that Boy George claims that ISKCON founder Prabhupada liked Baccara (!) while one of the devotees say he loved Charlie Chaplin (!!). Ooookay.
Wtf, I löööv my man prabhu now!
Always good to be friends with an excentric pop singer, especially if he is British and hence relatively polite. And no, I don´t have any of the books featured in the YouTube clip. Damn.
Should we be worried about the hanta virus? A bit spooky that not even isolated island such as Saint Helena and Tristan da Cunha are entirely safe. The Canary Islands don´t count.
I assume it´s contained now?
I hardly read this long far right attack on Keir Starmer, but it does contain one interesting fact (or is it factoid). The author claims that Starmer was a supporter of Michel Pablo´s Trotskyist current IRMT in his youth?!
So what happened in the recent British (regional/local) elections was that Reform replaced the Tories, and the Greens replaced Labour. And therefore...what? Here´s a prediction: No change. Next question!
Richard Dawkins out? His essay for UnHerd are behind a pay wall, but here is a summary and some comments in "The Guardian".
Everyone who hates Dawkins for his "transphobia" is mocking him on YouTube for thinking that the LLM Claude is conscious (and for gender-swapping Claude to Claudia). Soon enough creationists will join the fray, just wait. Kind of a sad ending, really.
