Seen this just get thrown out. Seems like someone is throwing the gauntlet down now, because the Council and MP have been queuing up to say how opposed they are to the plans for Scampton...well now is their chance to talk about it, in full view of the public, right before the local elections. Be interesting to see if they come...

A good summary of the last 20 years.

China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is reportedly utilizing civilian roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) ferries, operated by prominent maritime companies such as COSCO, to bolster its amphibious landing capabilities, potentially in preparation for a prospective invasion of Taiwan.This development, which has received little international attention, may have significant implications for the balance of power in the region.

China is, of course, not the only nation to use commercial ships for military operations. The US also leverages dual-use military/civilian sealift ships to enhance global logistics capabilities. Through programs like the US Department of Transportation’s Maritime Security Program (MSP) and Department of Defense’s Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) program, the US employs civilian-crewed ships for the rapid deployment of military forces worldwide and, last year, Commandant of the Marine Corps General David H. Berger in his 38th Commandant’s Planning Guidance, outlined the need to update and harden the America’s dual-use fleet. https://gcaptain.com/is-cosco-chinas-secret-invasion-fleet/

The “Flashed Face Distortion Effect” refers to a striking visual illusion / perceptual phenomenon resulting from the rapid presentation of eye-mouth-aligned faces in the visual periphery.

As the presentation progresses, the faces will appear increasingly distorted and grotesque.

The CSS Hunley, built by the Confederate States of America, became in the first combat submarine to sink a warship in 1864 when she sunk the USS Housatonic off the coast of South Carolina. She was unable to make it back safely to base afterwards however, and foundered, killing all 8 of her crew. (painting by Mort Kunstler)

Trans activists in New Zealand are trying to get the court to ban British women's rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen from entering the country. Keen argues that trans women are men & should not be allowed into private women's spaces or sports. #LetWomenSpeak https://humanevents.com/2023/03/23/new-zealand-trans-activist-groups-try-to-ban-womens-rights-activist-from-entering-country?utm_campaign=64470

Ulnar dimelia (mirror hand syndrome).

It is a phenomenon with the thumb missing, and the hand doubled.

Thus, a person has seven or eight fingers on one limb at once.

Most treatment is surgical, although some people adjust to the anomaly and live a normal life without resorting to surgery.

"But the occult oligarchy behind the open societies has already lost their global war. They predicated their plans on achieving total domination of the whole world. The emergence of a multi-polar order entirely collapses their plans."

Matt Hancock, former U.K. health minister, wanted to "scare the hell out of everyone" to enforce COVID-19 restrictions

This is the latest revelation from more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages leaked to the media by journalist Isabel Ochschott.
Another curious message from Matt: "Bill Gates owes me for injecting Brits with his chips. Chips are chips.

Hancock later called it a "joke"...

Conspiracy theory, eh?

Was there something protecting us from hyperinflation other than the fact that the USD was the world reserve currency? It's increasingly looking like that won't be the case for much longer.

The current scientific system is governed by the “publish or perish” imperative. Researchers are evaluated by the number of studies they publish in peer-reviewed journals and by the number of times these papers are cited by other colleagues. The well-intentioned mechanism, however, has produced adverse effects, as explained by the British engineer Nick Wise, a researcher at Cambridge University who, in his spare time, seeks out fraud in science. Wise has uncovered shady “factories of scientific studies,” produced by copying and pasting other studies or by automatic text generators, and whose authorship is secretly sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars to inflate resumes. “I found a study by Rafael Luque whose authorship had previously been offered in a group on [the messaging platform] Telegram,” Wise said.
