Boswarthen Intransigence
by Tim Veater
So thank you Anna for your book
It touched and chimed like the Madron clock
So apt the words upon its face
“Watch and pray. Time hastes.”
And so it does. And so it will
As only words out-live us all.
Those words you skillfully employ and weave
To make a touching story live
A sacred wishing well of memories and dreams
Located in Boswarthen's psychic streams
Of a love that overflowed in hope and joy
But with a whiff of cigar smoke, sadly died.
It's taken all these years to find
The synchronisities of past and mind
Within the pages of your poetry and prose
A mystery how events and experience interweave
To create our distinctive destinies
But Boswarthen seems to fit the mould.
Fifty years ago when I discovered it
And walked alone its enchanted forlorn street
Redolent it was of departed people ghosts
Of lives once lived within its vacant walls
Abandoned set for Thomas Hardy film
Then only home to dandilions, rooks and snails.
That time warp place that so enchanted me
Has been enlivened by your poetic memory
And shared with me today
Embedded deeply in the pages of your play
Of people living out their lives
An hard and endless struggle to survive.
Yet love survives the elements, the wind and damp and cold
An absence of convenience, a leaking roof and mould
A coping with abandonment, harsh environment of old
Yet still the bonny children smile, survive.
A mother's determination surmounts all obstacles
And from it all a poet recreates, and like a Phoenix lives.
And now, in this moment, when all the years have passed,
As typing this acknowledgement, composed in haste,
A rusty Jay appears with tints of blue and white
Outside my window, inquisitive and bright
As if to reaffirm the magic of intransigence
Against all the projectiles (thank you Shakespeare*) nature throws.

Mysterious wishing well in Cornwall that brings 'good fortune'
The Holy Well has been revered for its magical powers for centuries, long before it became known as the Wishing Well
The following article is copied from: https://cornishstory.com/2021/01/22/mapping-methodism-boswarthen-wesleyan-chapel/ It outlines the recent history of Boswarthen - in Madron, and particularly the Methodist Chapel there which appears to have lasted in that role only from 1839 to 1901. Rather surprisingly despite a new school there in 1888 and renovation of the Chapel the following year, in less than a decade it had been abandoned. As the village population was exclusively employed in either farming or mining, the closure of the nearby Ding-Dong Mine in 1877, reputedly one of the oldest in Cornwall, (See: https://www.penwithlocalhistorygroup.co.uk/on-this-day/?id=337 ) must have had a devastating impact on the village. Migration from Cornwall, either overseas or internally to different parts of the country appears to have peaked in the 1870's at over 70,000 (See: https://www.google.com/search?q=cornish+mining+exodus+statistics&sca_ ) Other estimates put the figure at "250,000 Cornish migrated abroad between 1861 and 1901 and these emigrants included farmers, merchants and tradesmen, but miners made up most of the numbers" (See: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Cornwall_Emigration_and_Immigration and https://bernarddeacon.com/demography/the-great-emigration/ I am guessing it was these economic and social trends that depopulated the isolated village and signed the death warrant of the little Chapel there. The building still stands and has been repurposed as a garage. Most of the mainly derelict and unoccupied cottages were sold in a Bolitho Estate sale in the 1980s, many now renovated and improved. The community is still accessed by unmade roads across agricultural fields, the only way in or out. 'Dove Cottage', the subject of the book, is now an attractive, renovated and improved, rural domestic property. (TTV)
Boswarthen is a hamlet between Madron and Morvah. On early maps this hamlet is variously named Buswarthen, Buswarton and Buswarthen. It is a very historic settlement with one of the farms having the date 1676 on a stone. The main industry of the area was farming and mining as it is close to Greenburrow (Ding Dong) mine and many others. However, this Boswarthen must not be confused with the Boswarthen which is in the parish of Sancreed, not far away! The Madron Boswarthen is reached by the same turning off the B3312 road that leads to Madron Baptistry and Madron Wishing Well. The 1888 map below shows Boswarthen chapel in the top left corner. This profile of Boswarthen Wesleyan Chapel has been compiled by Val Thomas with images from Maddy and Stuart Nicholls of Boswarthen Farm and Peter Scrase.
1585: John Buswarthen was buried on 15th February.
1839: Boswarthen Chapel was opened by “that dignified preacher, the Rev. John Hall, who was a most beautiful expounder of sacred truths. That somewhat lessened the congregations at Madron. Still they were good.” This is from the “Cornishman” newspaper dated October 10th 1901 – Reminiscences of an old Madron boy.
1841: The census shows 10 houses with 72 people living in the hamlet. James Dale, wife and 2 children. Friggens, farmer +8. Andrews, 40, tin miner +10. (one being a lodger of 19) Pascoe, tin dresser +5. Mann, agricultural labourer +4. Matthews, farmer +11. Edwards, farmer +5. Grenfell, carpenter farmer +8. Matthews +2 and Nicholls +6, farmer with 7 in his house. Some of the houses appear to have more than one family living in them.
1842: The excerpt below which is taken from West Penwith resources contradicts the date of the founding of the chapel as stated in the article except above! It does, however, give the number of seats as 96.
1851: The steward was Jno. Jenkins.
1861: There are 16 homes in the wider area with 84 people living in them.
1867 Wednesday February 20th: On Monday evening the Wesleyan Chapel at Boswarthen was crammed to overflowing, it having been announced the previous evening that a tee-total meeting was to be held and that several friends of the cause from Penzance would be present to address the meeting. Twelve people joined the abstinence pledge at the close.
1873: The chapel had 73 seats.
1875: ‘…. a large number of persons were present, and a good collection was made at the close of the service in aid of Boswarthen Chapel. Mr Kneebone is to preach at the same place on Sunday afternoon next’. This article was in the Cornish Telegraph on Wednesday May 5th 1875.
1881: The census shows only farmers and their families living in the area, so mining must be ending.
1883: The Kelly’s Directory states that ‘There are 5 chapels for Wesleyans, situated at Church Town, Trenere Road, Tregavara, Boswarthen and Bosullow.
1888: On Dec 20th The Cornish Telegraph reported that The Wesleyan Sunday School Union, at the Penzance circuit annual meeting …. “the union now comprises eleven schools, an increase of one during the year, a new school having been established at Boswarthen…”.
1889: From the following article it appears the chapel was renovated and reopened at this date.
1892: A revival mission was held at Boswarthen when Miss Julia Ashford preached to a crowded audience in the Wesleyan Chapel. The collections, which were in advance of former years, were in aid of the Boswarthen trust funds.
1893: ‘Old Customs Survive’ from the newspaper: “On Sunday, being the first Sunday in May, the usual service was held at St Madron’s wishing well. The Wesleyans had one at Boswarthen; and at a quarter to three Mr Sholl, of Penzance, expounded from Genesis… A large number were present… “
1901: ‘In Spite of Dr Borlase’, Chapter 10 has a section discussing the building of the new Wesleyan Chapel in Madron. It mentions selling the ruins of Boswarthen Chapel to fund the building of the new chapel. £15 was raised from the sale.
Late 1970s: These photographs of the ruins of the Chapel were taken by Mr Peter Scrase. At that time the building was derelict. Most of Boswarthen is now listed as Grade 2, but I am unsure if the ruined chapel was included in this listing. There was an original path leading up, beside the ruins, going from Boswarthen to the road leading to Morvah. The double door end faced this path which has now become impassable. Inside the ruins was an old Lister engine which was still in working order.
The Chapel has now been converted to become a garage for the house next to it. Images courtesy of Maddy Nicholls of Boswarthen Farm.

The Corbett Report from The Corbett Report
by James Corbett It’s one thing for the WHO mafia to execute one of the most brazen psychological operations of all time. Successfully convincing billions of people to lock themselves in their own homes and roll up their sleeves for injections of genetic slurry all in the name of a ginned-up “health emergency” is no mean feat. But it’s another thing altogether for those conspirators to follow through on that psyop and actually achieve their desired end goal: the erection of the biosecurity state. For those of us who managed to maintain our sanity over the last five years, the question is not whether COVID was a psyop—the answer to that question was obvious from the start—but whether the COVID conspirators have accomplished their objectives. So, where do we stand in 2025? Did the COVID scamsters win? LockdownsOne of the intended effects of the COVID psyop was to take the concept of lockdowns and social distancing from the realm of obscure authoritarian fantasy to stone-cold reality. As I pointed out in my 2020 video on “What NO ONE is Saying About The Lockdowns,” the idea of using school shutdowns, mandatory lockdowns and social distancing as pandemic prevention measures was first floated by Albequerque high school student Laura Glass for her local science fair project. (For those who are interested, she won third place!) Prior to 2020, the notion of locking down healthy populations to prevent the spread of disease was still pie-in-the-sky fantasy. No government had seriously attempted to impose lockdowns or social distancing on a mass scale and the very thought of mass quarantines and government-imposed, electronically monitored lockdowns would have been laughed off as conspiracy paranoia. On the other side of the 2020 divide, however, lockdowns became not only thinkable but an essential tool in the biosecurity state’s toolbelt. Since 2020, for example, we have seen the extent to which lockdowns penetrated the popular imagination reflected in such ideas as “climate lockdowns.” After all, if locking people in their homes worked for a planetary health emergency, why not use it for a planetary climate emergency? Yet another example of the mindset shift that has occurred over the past five years arrived last week when the UK Covid-19 Inquiry delivered its verdict that the lockdowns the UK government imposed during the scamdemic were “too little, too late“ and that they could have saved 23,000 lives by locking down earlier. This is, of course, nonsense. Actually, it’s worse than nonsense; it’s nonsense based on made-up numbers from a known liar. As Off-Guardian point out in their (shadow-banned) tweet on the subject:
For those who don’t know, the tweet is referring to this passage from the inquiry’s report:
“Professor Ferguson” is, lest we forget, Neal Ferguson, the “virus modeller” (or should that be the “Liberal Lysenko“?) from Imperial College London who produced the computer model suggesting that 500,000 Britons were destined for the grave unless the UK government imposed a national lockdown. Ferguson has since walked back that claim and now denies calling for a lockdown at all, but it should be kept in mind that his about-face came after he was caught breaking the UK lockdown restrictions to carry on an affair with his married lover. This is also the same Neal Ferguson who used his amazing “virus modeling” powers to predict 50,000 deaths from the UK’s 2002 mad cow outbreak (actual number of deaths: 177) and up to 200 million deaths from a potential, theoretical bird flu outbreak (which has yet to arrive). Ferguson’s projection of what could have resulted if the government had locked down faster and earlier suffers from the same “garbage in, garbage out” tomfoolery as the Club of Rome’s environmental apocalypticism. Keep in mind that the number of people who would supposedly have been saved by a quicker UK lockdown is based on a fundamentally flawed input: the number of people who the UK government assert died of COVID. Those of us who called out the scam from the start have been noting for years that these COVID death tolls are statistical chicanery, since they rely on the fraudulent claim that everyone who died with COVID—as measured by the scientifically meaningless PCR test—had in fact died of COVID. In other words, Ferguson’s numbers are plucked out of thin air and aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. They should not be taken seriously by anyone, whatever their opinion on the efficacy of lockdowns. But, as usual, the damage has been done. The controlled establishment media has run their headlines about the lives that could have been saved by earlier lockdowns, and the type of people who still get their news from these mockingbird repeaters will now be more certain than ever that social distancing and quarantining populations is the right thing to do in the event of a declared health emergency. Chalk that one up as a win for the COVID scamsters. QR Codes, Vaccine Passports and Digital IDEven more important to the would-be medical tyrants than the normalization of lockdowns and social distancing, however, was the creation of the technological infrastructure upon which the biosecurity state is enabled. This digital infrastructure includes:
If you’ve read about my recent experience trying to order breakfast in Malaysia, you’ll know that, once again, the COVIDians have been remarkably successful in achieving their objectives. As I found out during that Malaysian sojourn, scanning QR codes to access online menus and using cashless payment systems to pay for purchases is becoming so normalized in certain parts of the world that it can be difficult to so much as order breakfast without a smartphone and cellular service. Indeed, the smartphone has become a virtual prerequisite for participation in the public space, and it was the scamdemic that allowed the shift to 100% dependence on smartphones to take place. One recent demonstration of this smartphone requirement for participation in public life came from an email I received this week from a Corbett Reporteer in Canada. He was trying to send a registered letter to the US via Canada Post but was informed that his addressed envelope alone would no longer do. Instead, he now had to fill out an online form and print off a special tracking number in order to mail the item. Not owning a smartphone, he was out of luck. He would have to go home, fill out the online forms on his desktop, print out the paperwork and bring it back to the post office. He opted not to send the letter, vowing instead to never again mail anything to the US. Living in Japan as I do, the only surprising part of his story is that Canada held off making this change in their postal system for so long. Japan Post implemented the same electronic system for international mail four years ago. Of course, at that time the COVID border closures and postal delivery issues were used as the excuse for the intrusive new policy. But, given that country after country is now bringing in similar measures, the reality is clear: the change to a computer-dependent postal system is a global directive that was pushed, using the cover of COVID contagion, during the scamdemic. The end result is that one must either carry their smartphone with them at all times or spend extra time at home filling out online forms and printing off paperwork if they want to send mail internationally. Of course, all of these technological “upgrades” to our daily experience—from the smartphone postal system to the QR code menus to the cashless payment systems—serve the same agenda. They are meant to pave the way toward the apotheosis of the biosecurity state: the consolidation of all our information into a single government-issued digital identity app. Soon, we will be giving the government real-time access to all of our daily movements, transactions and interactions and will be signing in with government-issued digital credentials everywhere we go online and in real life. In the event of the next scamdemic, the scammers will hardly have to do anything at all. The QR code check-ins, vaccine passport checks and cashless payments will already be so much a part of our daily life that we’ll hardly notice any new scamdemic-related restrictions on our activities. That’s another win for Team COVID. But they’re not done yet. Clot shotsAnother key goal of the scamdemic, of course, was to fast track government approval of mRNA and DNA “vaccine” technologies. We know this, of course, because the conspirators told us as much in their own words. Who can forget the October 2019 Milken Institute-hosted discussion on the “Universal Flu Vaccine“? In case you have forgotten, that was the conference in which such luminaries as Tony Fauci and Rick Bright lamented that the poor, beleaguered Big Pharma corporations were going to have to spend billions of dollars and at least a decade of hard work proving the safety and efficacy of their DNA/mRNA injection techniques...unless some health emergency arose to justify the emergency approval of these experimental technologies. So, were Fauci and Bright and their co-conspirators successful in their fast-tracking task? Did they circumvent a decade of regulatory approval work for their Big Pharma buddies? Well, if the point was to invoke a health emergency to get emergency approval for these clot shot monstrosities, then we need look no further than “Operation Warp Speed” for proof that the COVID conspirators were, in fact, remarkably successful. And let’s never forget that Trump considers the Warp Speed MAGA jabs to be “one of the greatest things ever in politics or in the military!” Lest there be any doubt about Trump’s devotion to this technology, let’s not forget that he hosted an event launching his $500 billion AI-pushing “Stargate” project on his third day in office earlier this year, at which Larry Ellison discussed using AI to develop personalized mRNA cancer vaccines. And just two months ago, Bill Gates used his place of honor at a White House banquet to boast that he and Trump were discussing “vaccines and gene editing” in their joint effort to “tak[e] American innovation to the next level.” But this isn’t just about Trump, and it isn’t just about what’s happening in the US. This is a worldwide agenda. And, if this smattering of headlines from the past few months is any indication, the COVID era has given a gigantic shot in the arm (pun intended) to the clot shot “vaccine” manufacturers: Experimental mRNA flu vaccine shows superior efficacy against symptomatic illness (just don’t ask about the side effects) COVID Vaccine Tech May Reduce Disabilities in Snakebite Victims Personalized mRNA Vaccines Will Revolutionize Cancer Treatment—If Funding Cuts Don’t Doom Them The Dawn of Personalized DNA Vaccines And, exactly in line with my reporting in Who Is Bill Gates? there’s this recent report New Gates-Funded Microneedle Patch Implant Installs Both mRNA and Quantum Dot Markings Into the Body Yes, it’s safe to say we are now ensconced in the era of genetic intervention masquerading as “vaccines.” That’s another win for the WHO mafia. Mission Accomplished?I could go on. I haven’t even mentioned yet the passage of the WHO’s pandemic treaty or how its provisions actually encourage the work of the bioweapons industry...in the name of “defense” against such weapons, naturally. (A “poor man’s nuke,” anyone?) But you get the point. Just as it’s difficult to deny that the COVID scamdemic was the biggest psyop of our lifetime, it’s equally difficult to deny that the perpetrators of that scam have been remarkably successful, achieving so many of their 2030 Agenda items in one fell swoop. So, did the conspirators win? The answer to this question is even more important than it might seem at first glance. History, as we know, is written by the winners, so if the WHO goons and their string-pullers and paymasters did indeed win, then our grandchildren will grow up learning about the terrible plague that threatened to wipe out the global population in 2020. They’ll read about how some crazy kooks resisted the loving lockdowns of the government and warned against the life-saving vaccines. They’ll truly believe we were only saved by the skin of our teeth thanks to our benevolent masters imposing lockdowns, mRNA clot shots and masks on us all (though they should have locked us down sooner and harder!). This is why spreading the truth about these events is so vital. We must not let the lies stand. If these lies are written into the history books, then the conspirators really have won.
