'How the British Invented Communism (And Blamed it on the Jews)':
'Trotsky and British Intelligence'
"When the Tsar was overthrown on March 15, 1917, Trotsky was working as a journalist in New York City. He set sail for Russia, but British authorities arrested him when his ship stopped in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The British held Trotsky for a month in a Canadian internment camp.
For reasons unknown, Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) came to Trotsky’s rescue, ordering his release. The order came from William Wiseman, US station chief for Britain’s foreign intelligence division, now known as MI6.
Following Trotsky’s release on April 29, 1917, he embarked for Russia and joined the Revolution. The rest is history.
In Russia, British handlers kept Trotsky close. One of his handlers was Clare Sheridan, who happened to be Winston Churchill’s first cousin. She was a sculptress who claimed to be a Bolshevik sympathizer. Sheridan sculpted Trotsky’s portrait, and was rumored to be his lover. Reliable sources have identified Sheridan as a British spy.
Trotsky was banished by Stalin in 1929, spending the rest of his life on the run.
During the Moscow Treason Trials of 1938, Trotsky was convicted, in absentia, of working for the British SIS. The star witness against him was Soviet diplomat Christian Rakovsky, who testified that British intelligence had blackmailed him in London in 1924, using a forged letter, all allegedly with Trotsky’s knowledge and approval.
“I went to Moscow and talked to Trotsky [afterwards],” Rakovsky testified. “Trotsky said that the forged letter was only an excuse. He agreed that we were to work with the British Intelligence.”

'Hidden History'
"Soviet show trials are not the most reliable sources. However, a good deal of independent evidence corroborates Rakovsky’s testimony.
If Rakovsky’s charge is true, then Trotsky was already working for British intelligence as early as 1924. In that case, his relationship with the British was likely established some time earlier, perhaps as early as 1917, when MI6 mysteriously freed him from a Canadian internment camp.
The evidence suggests that Trotsky was already under SIS control in 1920, when Churchill publicly denounced him as a scheming “International Jew.”
Seen in this light, Churchill’s anti-Jewish rant in the Illustrated Sunday Herald begins to look like a cover story.
But covering for what?
What was Churchill trying to hide, by blaming Jews—and Trotsky, in particular—for the Russian Revolution?
You will not find the answer in conventional history books. The story has been erased.
But, in 1920, memories were still fresh. Witnesses were speaking out. The British faced hard questions about their role in the Russian Revolution. They needed a scapegoat."Image

Electric cars pollute 1,850 times more than fuel-based vehicles, study finds
The 2022 U.K.-based Emissions Analytics study found that after driving both a gas and electric car 1,000 miles, the number of particles collected from the EV was vastly greater than the gasoline-powered car.
"The 2022 study from the U.K.-based Emissions Analytics group found that during a 1,000 mile journey, EVs release 1,850 times more pollutants into the surrounding environment than gas-powered vehicles, due to the heavier weight which eats through tires.
While many think of emissions from exhaust, tire wear plays a significant role in emitting pollutants. The synthetic rubber used to create tires include certain chemicals that get released into the air, and because EVs are significantly heavier than conventional cars due to massive lithium batteries.

Overall, EVs weigh about 30 percent more than gas-powered vehicles, and cost thousands more to make and buy. These issues are in addition to the fact that they are not suitable in colder climates (such as Canada and the northern U.S.), offer poor range and long charging times (especially in cold weather), and have batteries that take tremendous resources to make and are hard to recycle.

Heiko Schöning has suggested that the next "pandemic" will be bacterial, will destroy the microbiome in the gut, and that the false solution will be an antibiotic. He also suggested that the mRNA injected people may be sensitive to these bacteria.

It has occurred to me that antibiotic resistant genes have been found in the mRNA vials. It is possible that this was part of the setup for the next "pandemic": some specific bacteria will be resistant to treatment with antibiotics. This may be the bacteria involved in the next "pandemic".

Please see below what antibiotic resistant genes have been found in the mRNA vials: Contamination with antibiotic/spike-containing expression vectors in the COVID-19 modified mRNA products:

"There is a high level of dsDNA contamination in the Pfizer products. This dsDNA contamination is in the form of circular expression vectors containing a spike gene and two 👉antibiotic resistance genes for kanamycin and neomycin.This is contamination and we do not know if these contaminants are accidental, or if they were put there"



Original publication:

Pfizer and Moderna bivalent vaccines are transformation competent in E.coli:

"An unknown portion of these dsDNA contaminants are replication competent plasmids..these plasmids provide 👉antibiotic resistance on LB-Kan plates and can be isolated from E.coli cultures."

Israel/oPt: UN experts appalled by reported human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls | OHCHR
"Palestinian women and girls have reportedly been arbitrarily executed in Gaza, often together with family members, including their children, according to information received. “We are shocked by reports of the deliberate targeting and extrajudicial killing of Palestinian women and children in places where they sought refuge, or while fleeing. Some of them were reportedly holding white pieces of cloth when they were killed by the Israeli army or affiliated forces,” the experts said.

The experts expressed serious concern about the arbitrary detention of hundreds of Palestinian women and girls, including human rights defenders, journalists and humanitarian workers, in Gaza and the West Bank since 7 October. Many have reportedly been subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, denied menstruation pads, food and medicine, and severely beaten. On at least one occasion, Palestinian women detained in Gaza were allegedly kept in a cage in the rain and cold, without food.

“We are particularly distressed by reports that Palestinian women and girls in detention have also been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped while others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence,” the experts said. They also noted that photos of female detainees in degrading circumstances were also reportedly taken by the Israeli army and uploaded online."Image ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

2024 IS A PEAK SOLAR ACTIVITY YEAR IN THE 11 YEAR SOLAR CYCLE. THIS CAUSES CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT CO2. WHAT CAUSES THIS CYCLE?
Jupiter exerts a gravitational pull on the Sun. Jupiter's full solar orbit is 11.85 years long. From Earth we experience and observe a regulae cycle of Solar intensity increasing and peaking then waning of 11 years. This is Jupiter plus all other planets combined exerting a regular pull of the Sun towards us. This 11 year pull also increases solar activity on the Sun's surface. We can see this increased activity manifest through more Sun Spots. We can see this 11 year cycle in tree rings on planet Earth going back millennia. Just like the Moon exerts a pull on the Earth's Sea which manifests in high and low tides, Jupiter exerts a pull on the Sun's surface which manifests in increased Sun spot frequency and intensity. This is what creates the 11 year Schwabe cycle, as well as the the 178 Jose cycle as all the planet orbits realign with this duration, as the planet orbits are always changing due to the pull of the planets on each other. The changing solar activity due to the changing orbital distances and combined gravitational solar and planetary pulls is what causes both solar activity to vary according to even longer regular cycles, including the 1,000 year Bray-Halstatt global warming cycle. CO2 change is the effect of these combined gravitational changes which cause warming and cooling, it is not the cause. This is because sea water releases CO2 when it heats up, and absorbs CO2 when it cools down. The sea heating and cooling is caused by the Sun heating and cooling the Earth's atmosphere, as well as the Sun's cyclical influence over the Earth's cloud cover. Volcanic activity is also determined by proximity and activity of the Sun and its gravitational pull over the Earth's molten core. Earthquakes are also timed and linked with Solar gravitational pull and activity.

GB News presenter Neil Oliver cleared by Ofcom over ‘turbo cancer’ claims
Seventy complaints were made to Ofcom after the presenter linked an aggressive form of cancer in young to Covid-19 vaccines
"The television presenter Neil Oliver has been cleared by the broadcasting watchdog after he pushed claims about the existence of a so-called turbo cancer...
An episode broadcast on January 13 attracted 70 complaints to the regulator Ofcom after Oliver, 56, claimed that young, healthy people were dying of an aggressive form of cancer and linked it to Covid-19 vaccines...
Ofcom assessed Oliver’s comments but has ruled they do not raise issues that warrant an official investigation under the Broadcasting Code.
The regulator said: “In line with freedom of expression, our rules allow broadcasters to cover controversial themes and topics. We recognise that these brief comments were the presenter’s personal view and did not materially mislead the audience, we therefore will not be pursuing this further.”Image thetimes.co.uk/article/gb-new…

THOMAS GOLD, former Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University Thomas Gold argued that oil wells & gas fields are charged and re-charged with new oil & gas from below. He claimed that most new hydrocarbons are generated deep in the crust, rising into geological traps at several different depths for particular parts of the crust. That is the abiogenic theory of hydrocarbon production, which is supported by astronomical data and by lab data simulating conditions in the deep crust and upper mantle.
Rapid charging of oil fields would require deeper secondary reservoirs under pressure, feeding into the primary reservoirs as they are depleted."Image oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-…

"Every year, about 5,700 U.S. children suffer seizures from the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.1 This finding is derived from results of the most statistically powered safety study ever to measure the association between MMR vaccination and febrile seizures. Published in JAMA in 2004, the study2 evaluated more than half a million children, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, from a Danish population that is relied upon globally to examine vaccine safety.

The results show that seizures from the MMR vaccine occur in about 1 in 640 children up to two weeks following MMR-vaccine administration. Applying this risk of seizures to the 3.64 million U.S. children vaccinated with a first dose of MMR every year3 results in about 5,700 annual MMR-vaccine seizures."

OIL AND GAS ARE NOT "FOSSIL FUELS" THEY ARE A RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE CREATED BY A GEOTHERMAL REACTION BETWEEN THE SOLID MANTLE & LIQUID CORE:
'Abiogenic Deep Origin of Hydrocarbons and Oil and Gas Deposits Formation'
"The theory of the abiogenic deep origin of hydrocarbons recognizes that the petroleum is a primordial material of deep origin [Kutcherov, Krayushkin 2010]. This theory explains that hydrocarbon compounds generate in the asthenosphere of the Earth & migrate through the deep faults into the crust of the Earth. There they form oil & gas deposits in any kind of rock in any kind of the structural position (Fig. 1). Thus the accumulation of oil & gas is considered as a part of the natural process of the Earth’s outgrassing, responsible for creation of its hydrosphere, atmosphere & biosphere. Until recently the obstacle to accept the theory of the abyssal abiogenic origin of hydrocarbons was the lack of the reliable & reproducible experimental results confirming the possibility of the synthesis of complex hydrocarbon systems under the conditions of the asthenosphere of planet earth."

Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a DNA, eugenics and depopulation obsessed Zionist who donated to the Israel Defence Forces by chance, he was what we may call a "Jewish Supremacist": he and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to this victim's testimony, believed that their and their fellow Jews' DNA was superior to everyone else's, and that justified them and their set's abuse of non Jews. This is clear cut racism. We can't be blind to it when the racists happen to be Jews. The problem here is that they were not the only ones. It seems from this testimony of his victim Maria Farmer, that his entire oligarchic set of Jewish friends shared the same belief. How can anybody who believes their DNA is superior to everybody else's have any allegiance to the USA or their nation instead of an allegiance to what he and they considered the "superior DNA race"? This is the bigger problem we are facing with this form of "superior DNA" racism today. It has not just died with Epstein, his set is still there. This racism is still here. This way of thinking is present in ALL of those who justify genocide today. Keith Woods wrote:
"🇮🇱 Maria Farmer, the first victim to report Epstein to the FBI, said everyone involved in the operation was a Jewish supremacist who racially abused her as a non-Jew - she claimed the operation was led by the Mega group

🇮🇱 Mega group is an organisation of exclusively Jewish billionaires set up to fund Jewish and pro-Israel causes

🇮🇱 One of the co-founders of Mega was Victora' Secret owner Les Wexner, who provided Epstein with his $77 million house in Manhattan which he used for his blackmail ring

🇮🇱 NY Times article from the 1990s reported on the apartment when Wexner owned it, describing it as reminiscent of James Bond movies

🇮🇱 Wexner was the only client of Epstein's mysterious hedge fund and the apparent source of his wealth

🇮🇱 Epstein was hired to work for Bear Stearns in 1970 by Alan Greenberg, another member of Mega group. Prior to this Epstein was just a school teacher

🇮🇱 Mega group member Ronald Lauder is president of the World Jewish Congress and has been a big donor to Netanyahu's Likud party

🇮🇱 Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, a top Mossad spy.

🇮🇱 Robert Maxwell's business partner was Charles Bronfman, a co-founder of the Mega group

🇮🇱 Epstein's lawyer and long-time friend Alan Dershowitz is an ultra-Zionist, author of The Case for Israel, and was considered by Israel to represent them at the ICJ

If you don't understand even from this explicit Harari video that Covid19 restrictions on the human right of bodily autonomy and the Nuremberg Code on medical experimentation, and the Gaza genocide attack on the right to life, the Geneva Conventions, and the Genocide Convention are one and the same globalist propaganda operation to remove all our belief in our inalienable human rights, you will never understand what is really going on.

Ok I've had the latest "influenza-like illness", third member of my family to catch it in sequence and shortly after the other. This one starts with sore throat, some sneezing, aching muscles, then gradually develops into a massive headache, a very unusual headache, literally pain in the brain, which lasts for a good 8 to 12 hours or more, and can overlap with nausea, feeling like you may throw up, and digestion issues, then recedes and leaves you feeling tired with muscle aches, which is where I am at now.

Other two members recovered quite well and I am on my way to recovery. Nobody took any medicines. One member was jabbed, other two are not, doesn't make any difference whatsoever to symptoms in this case.

Given the nature of the evil headache with this one, I suspect more foul play by our great benefactors and leaders of our beloved oligarchy.

I now think that there is a good chance that "yearly flu" is the yearly biolab release that our great leaders gift us with and have done so possibly since the "Spanish Flu". No wonder they really don't want to give up their biolabs and their "vaccines" scam, there is a risk that "flu" would really disappear this time round if we got rid of the biolabs and jailed them all!

One element that really helps in the healing process with this one is relaxing music. I opted for Erik Satie's Gymnopedies, Chopin's Nocturnes, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and one of my all time favourites Bach's Goldberg Variations. But if you think that Alberta Bourla's DNA contaminated gene modifying potion is more healing than Johann Sebastian Bach, then you can try that if you like but it may be the last thing you ever do!

The bastards released another one would be my guess.. been cursing them throughout my massive headache that has been now overcome by my immune system, for those who believe in such conspiracy theories as immune systems.. VERY runny nose. Could be a modified rhinovirus perhaps.

Newborn diagnosed with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Neonates, MIS-N

The paediatrician states that this is a pattern he is seeing in his practice and has lost 4 out of 5 babies born with this condition.

He states that the common pattern is;

•No signs of Covid infection in vaccinated mothers

•High “anti-Spike” (S1) antibody counts in babies

•Uneventful pregnancy, up to the point when the baby is born, revealing dysfunctional lungs, infant unable to breathe on their own, and the newborn ends up being hooked up to the highest throughput ventilator."

Activating the Genocide Convention - Craig Murray

"The truth is that no state cares sufficiently about the thousands of Palestinian children already killed and thousands more who will shortly be killed, to introduce another factor of hostility in their relationship with the United States. Just as at this weekend’s summit in Saudi Arabia, where Islamic countries could not agree an oil and gas boycott of Israel, the truth is that those in power really do not care about a genocide in Gaza. They care about their own interests.

JOHN CLAUSER, 2022 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER:
"I can very confidently assert, there is NO climate emergency."
“As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril. … atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.
The policies government have been implementing are total unnecessary and should be eliminated.
So far, [we] have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, and all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.
The dominant process, is “the cloud-sunlight-reflexivity thermostat mechanism.
Clouds are all bright white, and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.
Two-thirds of the Earth are ocean. The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth. The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%; about 50% over land and 75% over oceans.
I claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle.

I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency."

They want us to focus on the date of October 7th. But before October 7th, there was October 4th. This is what happened on October 4th 2023:
"Thousands of settlers have been carrying out provocative tours of the mosque complex following calls by ultranationalist Jewish groups.. Police imposed age restrictions and prevented young Palestinians from entering the mosque during the incursions, witnesses told the Anadolu news agency."

Muslims consider the Al Aqsa mosque as Islam's third holiest place after Mecca and Medina.

Before October 4th 2023, there was May 2021.
"Deif started planning the attack [October 7th] in May 2021 after the Arab and Muslim world were left enraged by a raid carried out by Israel on Al Aqsa mosque: "It was triggered by scenes and footage of Israel storming Al Aqsa mosque during Ramadan, beating worshippers, attacking them, dragging elderly and young men out of the mosque. All this fuelled and ignited the anger," a source was quoted as saying in Gaza."

TURMOIL AT THE BBC:
BBC Beirut correspondent to the Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie:
"Dear Tim,
I am writing to raise the gravest possible concerns about the coverage of the BBC, especially on English outlets, of the current fighting between Israel and Palestinian factions. 
It appears to me that information that is highly significant and relevant is either entirely missing or not being given due prominence in coverage.
This includes expert opinion that Israel’s actions could amount to genocide, evidence in support of that opinion, and historical context without which the public cannot form a basic understanding of the unfolding events. 
There are also indications that the BBC is—implicitly at least—treating Israeli lives as more worthy than Palestinian lives, and reinforcing Israeli war propaganda. 
What follows is a brief explanation of why I think so. I hope you consider it carefully and urgently.  
1. Genocide
Even before the current round of fighting, experts have noted that the siege of Gaza may amount to "a prelude to genocide" or "a slow-motion genocide." [1]
Key here is the fact that the Genocide Convention of 1948 lists, among the elements of the crime of genocide, the act of "Deliberately inflicting on the (national, ethnical, racial or religious) group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part." [2]
Also key is the fact that as early as 2014, UN officials who advise the UN Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide have warned of ‘the flagrant use of hate speech in the social media, particularly against the Palestinian population.[3]
The nature of the Israeli response to the attack by Hamas on October 7 has prompted ‘over 800 scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict studies and genocide studies’ to warn of ‘the possibility of genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.[4]
They cited the "incessant and indiscriminate bombardment’ obliterating ‘huge swathes of neighborhoods and entire families," and the order, by the Israeli defense minister" of a "complete siege" of Gaza, terminology which, according to the experts, "indicates an intensification of an already illegal, potentially genocidal siege to an outright destructive assault."
They also cited the order issued for more than 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip to flee to the south.[5] This order has also been said by Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council to ‘amount to the war crime of forcible transfer’ if unaccompanied by guarantees of safety or return.[6]
Furthermore, the scholars noted the statements of incitement by Israeli leaders against Palestinians.[7] They wrote of "evidence of incitement to genocide" and a "wider Israeli discourse showcasing the intent for elimination and genocide against the Palestinian people."
They also noted the "escalation of violence, arrests, expulsions, and destruction of whole Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem."
They said: 
As scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict studies, and genocide studies, we are compelled to sound the alarm about the possibility of the crime of genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. We do not do so lightly, recognizing the weight of this crime, but the gravity of the current situation demands it.
I invite you to sift through our coverage, past and present, for any trace of the above; whether in explainers, or interviews, or features, or news analysis. Is it there at all, and if so, is it given the prominence it deserves? >>
Image "2. Selective Use of Language
Words like ‘massacre’, ‘slaughter’, and ‘atrocities’ are being used—prominently—in reference to actions by Hamas, but hardly, if at all, in reference to actions by Israel. 

When the BBC uses such language selectively, with the standard of selection being the identity of the perpetrators/victims, the BBC is making a statement—albeit implicit. It implies that the lives of one group of people are more valuable than the lives of another.

This would be scandalous under any conditions. How much more so in light of the fact that hate speech and incitement against Palestinians have been flooding the airwaves, the internet, and social media, coming from the top (Israeli officials and their Western backers) and echoing all over the information ecosystem, in the context of what experts believe could be a prelude to genocide?

The power of emotive coverage and repetition is well understood. The selective application of emotive repetition is sure to have an impact on audiences, and it is exactly the kind of impact Israeli propagandists are aiming for as they dehumanize Palestinians and set the stage for the mass murder they have pledged—and begun—to carry out.

Does this not raise the question of the possible complicity of the BBC in incitement, dehumanization, and war propaganda? How would the BBC respond to this?"
