    … the startling realisation is that the British government and other Western governments want us to suffer, it’s not just collateral damage of Net Zero, impoverishment is the purpose.
    They want elderly to freeze in their homes this winter, they want driving to be unaffordable, they want families to struggle to put food on the table.

    This is a great reset in action and it’s about getting total control of resources.

    The UK’s NHS has drastically changed its approach to Gender Dysphoria Presumably, they’ve be driven to this by fear of damages claims arising from ‘transitioning’, even though the Keira Bell decision was overturned on appeal:

    Most children who believe that they are transgender are just going through a “phase”, the NHS has said, as it warns that doctors should not encourage them to change their names and pronouns.

    NHS England has announced plans for tightening controls on the treatment of under 18s questioning their gender, including a ban on prescribing puberty blockers outside of strict clinical trials.
    […]
    NHS England says that the interim Cass Report has advised that even social transition, such as changing a young person’s name and pronouns or the way that they dress, is not a “neutral act” that could have “significant effects” in terms of “psychological functioning”.

    More about the change to the NHS approach to transgenderism, this time outside the Telegraph paywall.

    Children who believe they are trans are probably just going through a short-lived phase, the NHS has told doctors.

    The health service last week issued draft guidance on treating children and young people with gender dysphoria — those who feel their gender is different from their sex.

    Doctors should be open to ‘exploring all developmentally appropriate options’ with youngsters who believe they are trans but be ‘mindful that this may be a transient phase’, it states.

    At least 15 children under the age of four were directed to the NHS’s transgender health service in England in the past two years.

    A similar number of five-year-olds were referred between 2021-2022 to the highly-controversial Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock clinic, the country’s only gender identity service for children.

    NHS documents state that, in total, over 5,000 children were referred to Tavistock’s service in the past two years, over concerns they were suffering from their gender identity not matching their biological sex.

    Only half of referrals were for children aged 15-plus.

    The NHS data, unveiled among some new guidelines for how to treat children with gender dysphoria, only concerns referrals to the GIDS at Tavistock.

    Not all of the patients would have been taken on for actual treatment, which can include puberty blockers and hormones that help change their bodies to align more with their gender identity.

    It is not known how many of the children aged five or under referred to GIDS went on to become patients. Any that did are unlikely to have been prescribed medication.

    But the figure is likely to cast even more questions over how children questioning their gender are directed to NHS care in England.

    NHS England is cracking down on how children are referred to gender identity care in the future, in the wake of the Tavistock chaos which saw its GIDS service ruled unsafe following a review.

    The guidance sets out that medics should carefully consider encouraging prepubescent children to socially transition due to the mental health risks they face in their teenage years.

    ‘The clinical approach has to be mindful of the risks of an inappropriate gender transition and the difficulties that the child may experience in returning to the original gender role upon entering puberty if the gender incongruence does not persist into adolescence,’ the guidance reads.

    Even for older children, those already in their adolescence, social transitioning should only be considered a last resort in severe cases, the NHS suggests.

    ‘Social transition should only be considered where the approach is necessary for the alleviation of, or prevention of, clinically significant distress or significant impairment in social functioning and the young person is able to fully comprehend the implications of affirming a social transition,’ the draft reads.

    Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and director of campaign group Genspect, said medics needed to take heed of warnings over social transitioning.

    She said: ‘Professionals working with children need to reflect on that and make sure they aren’t inadvertently causing harm by providing short term relief that leads to long term distress.

    […]

    The NHS England draft guidelines are part of the health service’s plan to close the highly-controversial Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock clinic, the country’s only gender identity service for children.

    GIDS is scheduled to shut its doors in the spring after a review ruled that the service was unsafe.

    It found that other mental health issues were ‘overshadowed’ in favour of gender identity treatment, prompting accusations that staff rushed children onto powerful drugs.

    When you have a spare 15 minutes, do check out this short film – MIRAGE.👍

    *********

    Omeleto:

    An old hunter lives in a home near the mountains, far from any town, village or city. His wife lies dying in their bed, kept alive on a respirator. He has a difficult time accepting the situation, refusing to accept her imminent passing.

    One day, out in the woods, he encounters a dark presence, one that stalks him in the isolated forest. When it asserts itself, the hunter has no place to hide from its darkness — or from the difficult emotions he’s avoiding.

    Written and directed by Sil van der Woerd, this short drama has no dialogue or much background information. And yet with thoughtful and precise narrative economy and impressive visuals, it communicates great depth and weaves fantastic suspense in telling the story of a man confronting the depth of his grief and sorrow.

    Shot with muted yet coolly beautiful colors and beautifully composed framings, the film has a pristine, impeccable approach to its image-making and storytelling, one that belies its main character’s emotional distance. But as it goes deeper into the old hunter’s emotional landscape, it also takes on the visual language of horror and fantasy (along with impressive special effects), ramping up the suspense and tension of what has been a quiet, more internal story so far.

    While the hunter grapples with his fears — in this case, fear of his wife’s death and the pain of losing her — this isn’t an average horror film, full of dread and terror. Instead, the cinematic language of fantasy and horror is co-opted to make the hunter’s emotional terrain allegorical, through the guise of a shapeshifting presence of shadows, smoke and darkness that threatens to overwhelm and consume him. Allegory can often be very stately and perhaps distant, but here it is visceral, bringing to pulse-pounding life the process of being subsumed by grief and suffering. Actor Bosco Hogan’s performance also adds a deeply felt element to a man who must bid his wife goodbye. With no words, his very bearing manages to convey immense emotion: sadness, grief and, eventually, love.

    It’s this love that makes the ending of “Mirage” all the more heart-wrenching and poignant in its restraint because it is the depth of the man’s love that is the reason why his grief is so painful and even terrifying. As painful as grief and loss are, the sadness only becomes bearable when we remember the love it emerges from — a love that the film’s final images give reverence to, with simplicity and humble beauty.

    A hunter can’t accept his wife dying. Then he encounters a dark presence in the woods. | Mirage

    It’s a complex issue. Jews in the music business especially were great promoters of black artists, going back to the early blues era. No doubt some of them ripped off their clients, as did everybody else. But, there were a lot of them compared to other sections of the population.

    In the modern world, rich and influential Jewish (usually more by birth than observance) people in the media – newspapers and online, film and television etc – have overwhelmingly and openly supported the Democrats. The same Democrats who, in his opinion, have harmed black people in terms of their policies and their victim rhetoric.

    Again, there are a lot of them compared to their percentage of the population.

    I am in no way excusing anti-Semitism, but it does highlight the weird phenomenon of contemporary American Jews – rarely the observant ones – being so completely welded to the Democrats.

    More on the same topic. In the news, 2 days ago.

    Real conservatives, the party grassroots, don’t matter.
    The WEF trained, diversity, minority, fake conservative wins the race.

    From Breitbart

    By forcing Boris Johnson out of the race for Tory leader and imposing Rishi Sunak, explicitly rejected by the party grassroots mere weeks ago, the parliamentary elite showcased their utter contempt for regular conservatives more starkly than ever.

    and

    Certainly, Sunak’s rising star is popular with the classic fake conservative crowd inside the Conservative Party. As reported last week, senior Tory politician Tobias Ellwood could barely contain his excitement at the “free market experiment” being over with Sunak moving towards power, with the establishment, globalist, “centrist” favourite ushering in a “reset”.

    Jeremy Hunt, the political assassin who moved in and dismantled the Truss government — hailed as the ‘de facto prime minister’ for the power he seemed to be wielding without actually having the top job — is also delighted to have Sunak moving into the top job: “we need a leader who can be trusted to make difficult choices”, Hunt has written, saying that the public finances face a black hole and that “decisions in the national interest” lie ahead.

    Tactfully, Hunt neglected to point out that Sunak, with his record Covid spending, was the one that dug that hole in the national finances.

    Mr Sunak is expected to address the nation just before noon, before entering No 10 as the UK’s first Hindu prime minister, the first of Asian heritage, and the youngest for more than 200 years at the age of 42.

    Fears inflation will see spike in mortgage repayments ahead of RBA interest rate call

    There are fears Wednesday’s massive jump in inflation could flow onto mortgage repayments, with the Reserve Bank of Australia now considering whether to hike interest rates to combat growing costs.

    After the announcement that the consumer price index (CPI) has risen by 7.3 per cent in the past year, some experts are proposing interest rates could be hiked by at least 0.5 per cent by the end of the year, with two more meetings before 2023.

    The Commonwealth Bank (CBA) is anticipating the RBA will hike the cash rate by 25 basis points at both its November and December board meetings, taking the rate to 3.10 per cent.

    “There are no two ways about it – inflation is red hot in Australia right now, as it is in many parts of the world, and we expect the RBA will respond by raising the cash rate again,” a CBA spokesperson said …

    … The RBA will continue to raise the cash rate as inflation remains “uncomfortably high”, BIS Oxford Economics’ head of macroeconomic forecasting, Sean Langcake, said while ruling out anything beyond a 0.5 per cent rise.

    “We continue to expect a further 50 basis points of tightening before the RBA pauses to gauge how the economy is tracking,” Mr Langcake said.

    “This is a very strong inflation print.

    “Nevertheless, it is broadly in line with the RBA’s expectations, meaning it will have a relatively limited impact on their outlook.”…

    Nikola Tesla was doing the same experiments in the 1930s, over a much greater distance, and proved that electricity could be transmitted wirelessly. It was never commercialised though as it couldn’t be metered.

    Jury in Bruce Lehrmann trial fail to reach verdict after fifth day of deliberations

    It has now been more than five days of deliberation and the jury are yet to reach a verdict in the trial for the man accused of raping Brittany Higgins in Parliament House.

    “Members of the jury, thank you. No one could suggest you are not working extremely hard,” ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum said.

    The jury will resume their deliberations at 10am tomorrow.

    Is the hope that prolonging the case will force those on the “Not Guilty” side to be pressured by the ‘Guilty” side to give in because they are all tired and just want the trial to end?

    How interesting. Programme on the box the other night, “the disappearance of Grace Millaine”. Tinder date, she ends up dead, strangled. One of his stories was that she had initiated BDSM sex and, with both of them being very drunk, he claims he doesn’t remember anything else. Evidence in court showed that she had been active on BDSM sites so quite possible. No doubt he did it and then CCTV of him buying a suitcase, stuffing her in it, hiring a car and driving off to bury it didn’t help. Lady commentators upset it was allowed in as evidence because “no parent wants to hear that”. SO only approved evidence please.
    Prog ends with lady SJW saying wymmins have to be able to go out and live their lives as they choose, no matter how risky, with no consequences. There was no doubt the perp was a very bad lad and there are many more bad lads out there and the message could be that people need to be cautious and maybe not get legless and put themselves in vulnerable situations. But that’s not the world of the SJW.
    Anyway, back to the ACT and all that unapproved evidence which seems to be being studiously ignored.

    Austerity is a term the UK has been misusing since the GFC.

    No government has been cutting back on spending as they were allowed to borrow at zero interest rates thanks to the central banks.

    I will walk back that comment.
    I was just reading up on the UK austerity measures since the GFC.
    All very confusing.

    Wild monkey and human friend

    Before his death, Peetambaram Rajan, 56, fed the wild grey langur every day with fruit and biscuits at his forest-side home in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.

    And when mourners brought the monkey to Rajan’s funeral, they were amazed at how strong the bond had become.

    As the langur perched on the edge of Rajan’s open coffin, it gently cupped his chin as if trying to work out why his friend is so still.

    Video footage recorded by a mourner at the head of the coffin shows the monkey leaning in to try to hug his human benefactor.

    The langur then leans over the coffin and plants a kiss on Rajan’s face and grabs his hands, as if trying to lead him away or wake him up.

    Leaving the C-jabs aside, can you see yourself taking any other vaccine off the future if this turns out to be the case? With all the evidence mounting that mRNA is dangerous, will GP’s in the future still have confidence to say it would be “safe and effective.”

    Many GP’s should’ve already been criminally charged, considering everything that has gone on to date.

    I’ve had some people show up and try to DENY that HAARP was intended for weather modification use.

    There are pretty much are two possibilities on this:

    1. They really don’t know what they’re talking about
    2. They know about the weather modification use and are trying to hide it

    Meanwhile, in 1997 when HAARP was becoming fully operational, the United States Airforce along with Phillips Laboratories held a “Test Technology Symposium” involving weather modification — specifically referencing HAARP.

    They had a plan, they called it “owning the weather by 2025” or “OTW2025”.

    This is what they listed potential uses for HAARP as: (this comes directly from the DTC Army dot mil (military) site saved on the wayback machine to prevent censorship/loss due military site changes etc…

    ______

    After reading the above potential uses for HAARP listed by Phillips Laboratories, and since they are listed as lead lab in charge during this time (1997) .. I take this seriously, since they were in charge of the operation.

    Keep in mind they EXPANDED HAARP to the 180 antennas we know it for today in the early 2000’s!

    So when I get people coming over denying that its possible to modify the weather using HAARP, and talk down to me like I WAS THE ONE who came up with this idea…. I feel sorry for them in a way, and then have to remember this information was hidden from them — on purpose.

    It could very well be that the people who did the hiding are still trying to stop the information from getting out there — hence the huge freakout whenever I post something here about the topic.

    Anyway, its not up for debate really.. the military said potential uses for HAARP are weather modification uses. Not my take on it. That’s their words when it all started!

    The whole “ionospheric research” cover story was just that. And average joe’s love those– cover stories — they eat them during breakfast and dinner every day!

    Moscow official calls for ‘de-Satanization’ of Ukraine

    A member of Russia’s security council is calling for a new mission of “de-Satanization” in Ukraine, after months of basing Moscow’s invasion on the need to “denazify” the country.

    In a letter an article, Russian Security Council assistant secretary Aleksey Pavlov argued that this was increasingly urgent as there are, he claimed, “hundreds of sects” operating in the country.

    “I believe that with the continuation of the special military operation, it becomes more and more urgent to carry out the de-Satanization of Ukraine, or, as the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov aptly put it, its ‘complete de-Satanization’,” he said.

    Pavlov claimed that the “Church of Satan… spread across Ukraine,” adding that it is “one of the religions officially registered in the United States.”

    “All this Satanism finds a lively response and support from the official Ukrainian authorities,” he added, without citing evidence.

    G,day.

    That’s Stew.

    I’ve got a potential skin cancer check tomorrow. A flipping rubbing wound on my neckline will not heal. It is right where a t-shirt would sit. As a psoriasis sufferer, this sore has come and gone over 16 years.

    I’ve got shaky hands thinking about. It’ll be a late night here for me. Going to sleep is a while away.

    Wish me luck.
