Andrew Bridgen the Mighty - Campaign Song and Video!

Having too much pride is the enemy of growing in wisdom.

I used to think I had things really figured out, and as a result my awareness only grew more self centered and isolated. I was cynical toward any hopeful ideas about reality or about the future. I thought people who genuinely believed in something were simply ignorant and immature; that they couldn’t face reality as it was and so their belief system was a coping mechanism. In some ways this felt really great because any challenge to my paradigm was easily cast away without any real investigation. However, eventually my world grew dark and lonely. I drank, I smoked, I used drugs to cope with those feelings, all the while telling myself I was sophisticated for doing so..

Until one day I began to question my own paradigm. How was I so sure about what I believed? And what did I really believe anyways?? One of my teachers told me that one good question can change a persons paradigm if they honestly allow the answer to arise as objectively as possible.

Ultimately that question for me was “What is true?”

I started with the pre-socratic philosophers and worked my way forward from there. Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Pythagoras etc.. Aristotle and Plato, but it was in the church fathers from Cappadocia that I think I really began to see the world truly.

I say all that to say that it was ultimately my pride that kept me from seeing the world correctly. Once we entrap ourselves in a worldview and build up the walls so high that nothing can get in or around, we turn our hearts into stone and we become cold, cynical people.

Pride and truth cannot coexist, they cannot share in the same heart simultaneously; one means the sacrifice of the other. And I came to realize that it was this truth, so fundamental to our experience, that was keeping myself and the people around me away from the love of God. It was my pride that shaped the walls of my prison in my mind, not the oppressive nature of culture, the cabal of banking elites, my family, the media or anything else.

I pray that we can all come to see our pride for what it is, and that we can learn to be humble and grateful. I know I’m not living the life I should be and that I’m constantly receiving humble lessons from life. I don’t pretend to have things figured out, but I do enjoy sharing what I learn, and that is going to continue

Philosophy is powerful. I know it may seem esoteric or heady at times but understanding the world is not guaranteed to be simple. It doesn’t come with directions. If you are not interested you can simply unfollow me or unfriend me and stop reading what I write.

"It's TERRORISM" George Galloway vs Piers Morgan on Israel-Hamas, Putin & More

Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observer:

—

"Israel" deliberately targets shelters for displaced people in Gaza and kills them under UN flag.

We have documented the intensification of "Israeli" bombardment of shelters on the heads of internally displaced people and targeting areas declared humanitarian zones, emphasizing the imposition of forced displacement and the destruction of all essential goods.

"Israeli" forces are stepping up their operations to bomb civilian property and massacre civilians, targeting UN refugee centers and committing massacres in those locations.

The scheme of "Israeli" bombing indicates a clear policy to deprive Gaza of any sense of security and deprive Palestinians of shelter or even momentary stability by continuing bombing across the strip, focusing on UN school shelters.

We have counted four strikes since dawn Tuesday against shelters, in addition to the destruction of several residents' homes, leaving dozens dead and injured, mostly women and children.

Among the "Israeli" airstrikes, the Abdel Fattah Hamoud school housing displaced people in central Gaza was targeted, killing eight displaced people, all from the Al-Jarou family: an elderly woman, her son, wife and their five children.

On the same morning, "Israeli" planes bombarded the UNRWA-owned "Asmaa J" school, housing displaced people in Al-Shati camp in western Gaza, killing 11 displaced people, including five women and four children.

"Israeli" planes also bombarded UNRWA's "Industry" site, targeting two rooms at the western entrance of the building, killing four workers of the humanitarian aid security committee.

In addition to anti-aircraft shelters, "Israeli" planes bombarded at least 12 homes across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, killing dozens and injured, some of which are still under rubble.

The growing circle of attacks on shelters and displaced people waving UN flags indicates the falseness of "Israeli" justifications, and the bombings violate the principles of distinction, necessity, proportionality and necessary precautions.

Repeated attacks on UN buildings, killing, destroying and setting them on fire, are a blatant challenge to international humanitarian law and constitute war crimes in itself.

We renew our call to all countries to assume their international responsibilities by imposing effective sanctions on “Israel” and ending any form of political, financial and military support and cooperation provided to it.

We urge the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into all crimes committed by "Israel" in Gaza and to expand the investigation into individual criminal liability for these crimes to include all those responsible and to issue warrants against them.

 One of the most important interviews of an MP in our times!

I've just learned from my young neighbour she was hospitalised after her jab. One of the effects was she lost her sense of smell. It has never returned. As far as I am aware, hers was just one of the 'nine out of ten' that did not report it as an 'adverse effect' on the 'Yellow Card' system.

CNN DAGESTAN TERRORISM 24.6.2024
—
Gunmen opened fire on places of worship in two cities of Russia’s southernmost Dagestan province on Sunday, killing at least 15 police officers, an Orthodox priest and four civilians, in what appeared to be a coordinated attack.
Sergey Melikov, head of the Dagestan Republic, said at least six “militants” were also killed following the attacks on churches, synagogues and police posts in the cities of Derbent and the regional capital Makhachkala, which are about 120 kilometers (75 miles) apart.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks, which come three months after ISIS affiliate ISIS-K said it carried out an assault at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow that claimed more than 140 lives in one of Russia’s deadliest terrorist atrocities in years.

These attacks were obviously coordinated and very conveniently blamed on Islamist and Palestinian groups. The more likely scenario is that they were planned and executed by covert units acting on behalf of Israel and NATO. Of course this will be denied by those actors.

Some time ago, with up-coming elections and with deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the Middle East, domestic 'terrorist incidents' were more likely. The above might be part of that picture. We await parallel events in the West! NB George Galloway and others have predicted open declared war with Russia six months post election. We shall see.

I always get 'twitchy' when video of the incident immediately appears 'shot from a hotel room' or similar. I

always wonder and ask who took it. How were they set up and prepared to get the film and get it loaded onto

You Tube and other platforms almost immediately? Few people question the source and this process that

can be a strong indicator of what agency or nation was actually behind the event, rather than the ones being

officially projected. Be aware. Watch this space!

It's amazing who you meet, see and hear on a simple bike ride!

by Tim Veater.

So whilst Sainsbury's was suffering an armed robbery by a six foot youth on a motor bike, I was pedalling to Morrison's for an all-day breakfast. (Well not precisely but never mind) The breakfast arrived in super-fast time and was up to par.

Meanwhile an elderly man with his son (there was a facial likeness) or carer sat adjacent singing "All things bright and beautiful" - although it was only just recognisable. He appeared otherwise non-communicative and oblivious of all around him. He was in a world of his own, whether 'bright and beautiful' is hard to discern. He departed the store still singing a familiar hymn. I joined in!

I headed for town along the beach cycle path, the sea to my left blue and calm, gently lapping the yellow sand. In town I sat on a bench and was joined by two very different individuals.

The first was an elegant lady of about my age. (She took her 11-Plus in 1960 and her father bought her a bike when she passed it) She had been an art teacher in Sheffield and Nottingham Universities and now spent half the year in Newlyn. She said she wasn't allowed in shops!

It turned out she had recently been diagnosed with a form of Leukaemia - cancer of the white cells in the blood - after a stay in hospital with a lung infection. She was banned from shops not because she was infectious but to protect her from others, as her body was now biologically 'unprotected'. Rather amazingly, following the who-ha over obligatory masks, she hadn't been advised to wear one. Say no more!

In answer to my enquiry she said she had had the Covid jab and two 'boosters' before she had been admitted to hospital with a chest infection and another after leaving. She was subsequently dignosed with the leukaemia.

When I asked if she thought any of this might be related to the Covid jab, she replied, "I just follow the medical advice." If it was, it certainly won't be recorded anywhere as such, in common with much other illness and premature death nationally and internationally.

Experimental injections are not listed as one of the causes of leukemia but with unfolding evidence, perhaps it soon will be!

(Watch: Cancer types post mRNA vaccines  'We review a preprint that introduces a case of lymphoma immediately post vaccination and summarizes all currently scientifically published cases of cancer post mRNA vaccines and what might be the causes of such events'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MPH0QD74Yw )

Only a short time elapsed before a tall, slim, foreign-looking man joined me on the bench. We struck up a conversation. In imperfect but nevertheless impressive English he explained he was from Kazakhstan on a six-month visa, picking cauliflowersa and cabbages on local farms. He said he was twenty-nine.

He was impressed with England and British people, which he thought was less threatening and corrupt than his home state. He admired the shop buildings opposite where we sat. As with the previous stranger we mused over the contrast with the vibrant nature of the street in the past, in common with virtually all the nation's towns.

He was but one of hundreds, if not thousands from eastern Europe and further afield, who work in agriculture, an industry that has changed out of all recognition from what it was. As with small shops, small farmers have been replaced by large conglomerates, for which foreign workers prepared to work on poorer pay and conditions are a requisite.

We exchanged names - his was Rishi! - and shook hands, before he set off for Boots for something to treat his cough. Was there a hint of seduction around those lips as his handshake lingered? Amusingly he walked up the road to cross at the zebra crossing, rather than directly, as a local person would do, obviously unaware it was optional. A foreign national anxious not to break any local rules obviously.

I hope he enjoys his time here and comes to no harm now or on his return to notorious Kazakhstan - a land of three languages, all of which he could speak! According to Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index (CPI), in 2022 Kazakhstan scored 36, out of a possible 100 (0 = most corrupt; 100 = least corrupt)

With little breeze and full sun, it was hot as I made my way to the Prom where lots of people were dutifully 'promenading' as the name suggests. Walking, sitting, bathing, roller-skating, eating fish and chips - as you do, however something stopped me in my tracks.

The railings at one point were festooned with flowers, messages and photographs of a bearded and smiling young man. I spoke to the male standing there, doleful, obviously connected, watchful, paying his respects. His twenty-nine year old friend - the same age as the man I had just left - had only days before died at the spot.

I asked respectfully if he had drowned? No he replied, he hanged himself from the railings over the sea wall!

He had been hospitalized but let out too early he asserted. He was well known locally and "had a heart of gold."

I can find no report of it in local news outlets and a google search has revealed nothing, despite the unusual and tragic circumstances. However his passing has been marked by his friends with a wall of flowers overlooking the sea.

I returned home with these four meetings on my mind, encounters that seemed emblematic of wider issues; this as the nation yet again dives into an election to determine ostensibly who will govern us, deciding what and how national resources are spent.

The dementia-suffering man; the elderly woman suffering from a potentially fatal disease, possibly caused by a claimed epidemic or its novel treatment; the economic migrant from a distant despotic land, to which he may or may not return; a local Cornishman of only 29, so desperate and despondent he takes his own life, in the most public and dramatic of fashion.

Arguably all four instances, the human manifestations of government policies and decisions. A government deeply embroiled in wars abroad, whilst unable or unwilling to meet the needs of those at home.

As to the bike ride, as my father-in-law used to say, "It's amazing what you see, when you ain't got your gun!" END.

2.7.2024: Last Wednesday we drove back to Cornwall from Bristol. Of course as we approached Shepton Mallet, traffic was a complete stand-still because of the Festival. So after a while I decided to try to skirt around the town. This also proved futile, so back towards Glastonbury I go. Another blockage so turn right towards Wells. (Why didn't I choose to go that way first of all?) It was five miles along not much more than a lane, but this did not stop crazy drivers coming the other way. First a young girl of a thing, then a boy racer. In the case of both if I had been just a few more inches into the road it would have been a head-on collision, and the topic of converation would have been what happened to those two dead bodies and the aftermath. However when we got to Well and turned left to Glastonbury all was clear and delightful all the way to Taunton. The road to Glastonbury always brings back memories from over fifty years ago. Every Saturday I would journey there in my little light blue Fiat 500 to visit John Thew who had sustained head injuries and resultant disabilities in an horific accident in Peru, when he worked there as a VSOS helper and long since passed on. I wonder where all his photos of those colourful Incas went? And indeed the Incas too.

The Covid Con!

20.6.2024: What you need to realise is that the 'Covid Epidemic' was something quite different from what was stated. It was not a health crisis. Rather it was a creation of the Secret State (for shorthand read CIA) for POLITICAL and FINANCIAL purposes. It ensured the termination of the Trump/Johnson leadership of US/UK political leadership that posed a threat to Deep State priorities. Meanwhile it ensured a huge money transfer (measured in hundreds of billions!) from State to private corporate and personal entities. Individuals were persuaded and coerced to be injected with a dangerous, ineffective substance at no cost. This was also fraudulent because the cost was hidden and deferred to the National Debt that now has to be paid for by public service cuts and/or increases in taxes. The huge additional social and health consequences are increasingly becoming apparent in increased deaths, illness and waiting lists. Of course the government and media have actively been censoring and lying about this, but the truth will eventually out, and those that have told it will be vindicated - sadly too late to prevent the disaster it has been. However if it awakens people to the other international ruses and campaigns, such as CO2, Trans Rights, Controlled Speech, Militarisation of Policing, Supression of Protest, Social Media Censorship beside the promotion of war in Ukraine and Gaza, where similar tactics have been employed, so much the better. veaterecosan.com

Meanwhile in Gaza - Secret Genocide-Supporting Operations

Katharine Hepburn  (Translated from the original Italian on FaceBook via  

Armando Bacco)

 

 

Media hype and military mistakes: The British role in Gaza The failure of the mission to liberate Israeli prisoners of war in Gaza highlighted British and American military involvement, widening Israel's war against Gaza into an international conflict, just as the US and UK did with Ukraine. On June 8, Israeli forces staged a blood-spattered "rescue" operation in the Nuseirat Palestinian refugee camp. The brutal and blunt operation freed four prisoners, killed three others - including a US citizen - and left 274 Palestinians dead and many more injured. The Israeli army also suffered losses, including the death of a senior commander. Although Hamas has offered since October 8 to release prisoners held in Gaza unharmed in exchange for a ceasefire and the total withdrawal of the occupation forces, this operation can only be seen as a costly failure for Israel, part of a broader strategic mistake. The Israeli military has failed to achieve any of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's declared war goals in eight months of conflict, and Tel Aviv's growing international isolation required a dramatic public relations show. Spill it all out Western media eagerly took the bait, widely acclaiming the "heroic" effort. One agency called the fiasco a "miraculous triumph." Another celebrated the "bold" recovery of "heavily guarded" hostages. Photos and biographies of the four freed individuals were prominently circulated. Human interest stories abound. Out of this nauseating deluge, however, the New York Times quietly published a bombshell revelation. British and American intelligence officials and "hostage rescue" specialists played a central role in the "rescue" operation. According to the report, these British and US agents remained in the occupation state for the duration of the war, "providing intelligence and other logistical support" and "gathering and analyzing intelligence" in the service of freeing Israeli prisoners and locating Israeli leaders. Hamas. London and Washington, it seems, "have been able to provide intelligence from the air and cyberspace that Israel cannot gather on its own." Meanwhile, “the Pentagon and CIA provided intelligence gleaned from drone flights over Gaza, communications intercepts, and other sources.” Counter-terrorism operations That this report is a misleading cover should be obvious. If indeed British and US intelligence have been working from Tel Aviv since October 7 to track down Hamas leaders and release prisoners, their efforts have been as ineffective as the "rescue" operation itself. Leading sources acknowledge that Hamas remains largely unscathed, and IOF spokesmen say 120 prisoners remain in Gaza. This suggests a different motivation for the British covert presence in Israel. A UK Ministry of Defense communication dated 28 October 2023 instructed national news outlets not to mention that the elite Special Air Service (SAS) was "deployed to sensitive areas" of West Asia, conducting "rescue/evacuation operations of hostages". [The Ministry of Defense intends to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of classified information on Special Forces and other units engaged in security, intelligence and counter-terrorism operations [in Gaza], including their methods, techniques and activities. Western forces 'waiting' This censorship was likely prompted by British tabloids revealing that the SAS was "standing by" at bases in Cyprus "to rescue hostages held captive in Gaza". One SAS veteran described such an effort as almost inevitably suicidal: The situation in Gaza is unique in terms of trying to locate the hostages and find safe passage out. There's a lot of confusion about what's happening over there right now. Finding the right stronghold where the hostages are held will be difficult - then you will have to move safely to that location, find the hostages, and then leave. From a planning point of view, it will be an absolute nightmare. It could end in disaster. Despite the risks, the Israeli "rescue" operation went ahead, aiming to secure a propaganda victory for Tel Aviv and legitimize the involvement of British and US forces in Gaza. The New York Times investigation subtly hinted at a publicly expanded role for Britain and the United States in the assault on Gaza, while confirming their determination to support Israel's actions. In justifying Washington's involvement, the newspaper said that this support was provided "to a large extent... because American officials believe that the best way to persuade Israel to end the war is to recover the hostages and capture or kill key Hamas leaders." A Daily Telegraph editorial echoed this sentiment in an untitled editorial titled "We must support Israel's efforts to rescue the hostages," declaring that "the success of the rescue operation is a timely reminder of what Israel stands for fighting and the fundamental justice of its cause", while complaining that Tel Aviv's "military operations have been subjected to a level of scrutiny that is almost impossible to satisfy": Israel's stubborn commitment to rescuing the hostages and destroying Hamas stands in stark contrast to the West's weakness in supporting its efforts. It appears that, similar to how Western powers have systematically violated Russia's red lines, their direct participation in Gaza is set to be gradually normalized. In March, French threats to deploy troops to Odessa were rejected by Russian officials. Since then, a stream of public statements and media reports indicate that those soldiers will still arrive in the form of "advisers" and trainers. The strategic importance of Lebanon Israel's once-feared military giant has been consistently humiliated in direct clashes with the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and in exchanging heavy fire with the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah. As reported by The Cradle, the occupation state is hiding heavy losses on every front it is engaged in. Despite this, Tel Aviv is openly preparing for an all-out war with Lebanon. The Cradle also revealed British efforts to gain unrestricted access to Lebanese territories – land, air and sea – for its soldiers, bypassing the need for "prior diplomatic authorization" for its "emergency missions". The deal between London and Beirut - abandoned after the proposal was leaked to Lebanese media - would have reportedly allowed British soldiers to travel in uniform with weapons visible anywhere in Lebanon, enjoying immunity from arrest or prosecution. accused of having committed any crime. It can be speculated that London anticipated the expansion of the Gaza conflict into a wider regional war and sought to consolidate its presence in the Levant in advance, potentially to secure this outcome. Israel's defeat by Hezbollah in 2006, coupled with its current military difficulties, underlines that Tel Aviv would not be able to defeat the Lebanese resistance without widespread foreign support. The strategic positioning of British and US forces lays bare their commitment to supporting Israel despite significant risks of political backlash and the potential for further regional destabilization. https://thecradle.co/.../media-hype-and-military-blunders...
