My word of the year would be rollercoaster. Up and down on a wild ride!
My contribution from germany :regelbasierter präventivschlag , which you could translate as „ rules based preventive strike „ ….
But i do also still like the „ build back better „ term …. 5 years later the world really has turned into their eco garden …well done , sociopaths ! And theres more to come …
I‘ll play it for you now , and i’ll tell you what it is later – miles davis
My word of the year is “slangwanger.” It’s a word that needs to be brought back.
Freedom
Every effort at freedom from sin contributes something to freedom from misery. (Etienne Gilson)
Everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. (Jn 8.34)
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery [to sin]. (Galatians 5.1)
How can they who are slaves of sin boast of having freedom of choice? (St. Augustine)
Those who propose to liberate man from the moral law are really proposing a form of bondage, because liberation from morals is liberation from reason, which is the only thing that makes a man a human being, which is to say a free moral agent. (E Michael Jones, author of Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control)
Fascinating – “ancient tradition” dating back to 1995 🙂
Word of the year: Dissolution – process by which something dissolves, becomes weaker, the breaking apart of organizations, agreements, and so on.
I’m with Shaun on the whole ‘spiraling down’ thing. Breaking down of the old order, out of the chaos… etc., ‘problem, reaction, solution’ type stuff.
Here in NZ, the dissolution of public trust in formerly ‘infallible’ institutions – particularly public health, media, education, judiciary, and the police. Amongst a growing minority of NZers, I would go so far as to include the dissolution of people’s belief in the so-called social contract.
Interesting that you note the dissolution of belief in the social contract, considering Sam Altman’s explicit conviction that AI’s expanding role in society necessitates a re-writing of the social contract. Destroy and rebuild.
Indeed, ‘horror vacui’ – to fill the vacuum with a technocratic AI ‘solution’ – how convenient.
Not a word that came to my mind but my sentiments are similar. The word I was thinking was ‘peak’, as in we have reached peak woke, peak globalism, peak trust in public institutions, etc.. It only downhill (for ‘them’) from here on. Wishful thinking? We shall see.
No harm in a drop of wishful thinking on occasion 🙂
There’s no going back once the realization hits. I’ve observed anger, disillusionment (another contender word-wise) but also a sense of focus, clarity, and resolution which is heartening. Such discussions also provide an opportunity to suggest a related Corbett video or article 😉
It seems to me that the Sandy Hook shooting of December 14, 2012 is one of the most controversial events of our time and also one of the most forgotten. I rarely see any alternatives to the official narrative. Anyone who questions the accepted story is vilified and ridiculed. Yet for sheer weirdness it is fascinating to think about. Is this one of those controversies too hot to treat seriously? I would be interested to see what your take is on this subject.
The other super-bizarre event that needs review is the mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017
Retired professor James Fetzer wrote a book abt Sandy Hook called No One died at Sandy Hook pdf. You might be able to find the pdf online. They shut him down with a lawsuit. You can read the evidence he presented here for the US Supreme Court: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21-7916/244586/20221102075815208_20221102-075710-95758043-00000780.pdf
He presented evidence no one could have died since school was closed down for asbetos cleaning. Instead it was a FEMA drill.
He does have a website where he talks (books) abt other FF such as Boston: https://jameshfetzer.org/blog/
I heard somewhere back in the day it was gun running gone wrong and a FBI agent killed ( then later claimed as lone assassin) two cornered individuals then created a diversion to escape?
Seemed more plausible?
Once we’re talking about controversial shooting events that James hasn’t covered yet, I think one that’s even more deserving of an exposé is the Christchurch mosque shootings from 2019.
Why?
Many different reasons. But of all the mass shooting events this century, it is only this one that has the smoking gun evidence to prove it was a ‘false flag’ event.
The Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania resulted in the mass disarmament of regular Australian citizens. Now, mostly, only the crims and the government can have guns.
The whole saga was wrapped up in a bow same day without answers to many many glaring problems with the official narrative.
Martin Bryant, the dim witted patsy, whisked off to a life behind bars.
Case closed.
Port Arthur, six weeks after Dunblane, where the UK lost gun ownership rights, inquest findings sealed for 100 years.
To: w, flora123, darrell, martyn.k, r.farmer, Truth seeker and Nicholash.
I’m curious to know if you have smoking gun hard evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that any of Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Port Arthur, Dunblane, Boston Marathon, Barcelona truck attack, Westminster Bridge car attack, Molenbeek, Stockholm truck attack, Bourke Street, Orlando Pulse were false flag/scam events?
I see that ‘the Boston unbombing’ by Plasmaburns still exists on Bitchute
‘Boston hoaxathon’ by peekay on archive.org also.
Most of the rest has been scrubbed from the internet but you could search for channels such as ukcriticalthinker,
Kearnsy74, beatworship, smokenmirrors, anacondamaltliquor, who all did good work on Bourke street, Westminster bridge etc.
Zakleosebumbar for Stockholm truck
Onethirtyeight and HDRCFXcornwall for Vegas.
Just the tip of the iceberg- maybe I should reupload my files.
Richplanet.net still exists where Richard D Hall got into trouble with his Manchester bombing coverage.
Thanks flora.
Could you please just give me a paragraph summary of what the smoking gun evidence is for each of the events you mentioned?
Each event would need a chapter on its own.
Westminster bridge had footage of injured in the street being photographed by bystanders who were themselves later filmed being wheeled into the Marriott hotel rather than the hospital 200 meters further on.
Molenbeek likewise.
Vegas no ambulances just pickup trucks and actors being triaged mamy streets away.
Bourke street driver being given instructions outside Flinders Station, missing everyone on the ccTv area.
Stockholm has a fireman setting the truck alight.
Obvious dummies use at Fort Lauderdale airport, Brussels airport, Vegas, Toronto, Barcelona.
There is tampered footage with NBCs Elizabeth palmers report at Westminster.
Orlando nightclubbers carrying injured TOWARDS the Pulse night club only to let the victim walk off when they thought filming had ended.
The US events are often an attempt to grab guns whilst Europe wanted to gin up the anti Muslim agenda.
I’m trying to make myself really clear.
You are reading me wrong. 🙁
Of course Oswald was NOT the lone gunman.
I grouped JFK, 9/11 and Christchurch together for a reason.
In each case we have SMOKING GUN evidence that proves there was a conspiracy behind each event.
Thanks flora.
I’d like to see that footage of the Stockholm fireman “setting the truck alight”.
I’m not saying that none of the events you mentioned were false flags/scams.
But is there any smoking gun evidence for any of them that can rival the Christchurch mosque shootings evidence which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the attacks were not carried out by a lone gunman?
All are as bad as the Christchurch event.(especially the Linwood Islamic Centre victims getting up and lying down again. Lol)
The Stockholm event had a women being treated behind the Ahlens store where the truck had never been, then carried by civilians round the store and up the street to a hotel. No ambulance. No paperwork? Passing a large clock displaying a wrong? time.
The lorry stuck in the shop entrance didn’t catch fire until a fireman climbed a ladder to the back of the truck and appeared to put something in. Strangely, subsequent pictures, showing the internal of the truck displayed no smoke damage.
Pictures of these things are not easy to find now.
Did you study any of these events in depth, especially the Christchurch attacks?
There were no victims who got up and lay down again.
The Christchurch attacks were legit. People died.
But Tarrant was not a white supremacist lone gunman.
Several of his handlers were clearly seen in the video he live-streamed. One was giving him instructions through his headphones.
Apologies.
Not Al Noor. I refer to the second mosque in Linwood.
My edit didn’t appear to go through in time.
At Al noor there was a car at the front entrance that disappeared and a figure standing at the wall.
Who knows what they were up to.
No problem.
I didn’t study Linwood. Al Noor alone has enough incriminating evidence that it was conspiracy.
That car at the front was HUGE!
Not only was one of his handlers in the car (Mr. Alnobani), but that handler worked at the mosque and messed with the door locks so the victims couldn’t escape from the back.
The figure standing at the wall (another handler) alerted him to two people trying to escape. Tarrant ran to the front after the alert and killed one of them.
Thanks, I didn’t know of Mr Alnobani.
I heard claims of a pedestrian when Tarrant stopped on the trip in, and another, whom he waved to, passing the road end where he parked at the mosque.
Could one event be real and the other fake??? Jeez.
He had trips to Pakistan AND Israel it is reported.
That is correct. There were at least three handlers working with Tarrant at the Al Noor mosque the day of the killings.
Tarrant was ordered to stop on the side of the road close to the Al Noor mosque until he received the all clear signal.
Only when a handler 1 (a woman) walked past his car did he start up his engine and proceed a couple of blocks to the mosque.
The second handler appeared as he neared the mosque and got him to park in the driveway next to the mosque.
This handler 2 was wearing a bright orange jump suit.
It was this same handler 2 who stood outside the front of the mosque on the grass while Tarrant was doing the killings inside Al Noor. This handler 2 in the orange jump suit called Tarrant to rush to the front of the mosque as two people were trying to escape (mentioned above in last post).
Handler 3, the most important, was Mr Alnobani, whose car was parked outside the front entrance.
The entire Christchurch mosque shootings were real.
It was mission accomplished.
The attacks prompted New Zealand to pass new laws which banned various types of semi-automatic weapons.
Global changes also took place with social media, in an attempt to prevent or stop future attacks from being live-streamed.
Hdrcfx vids are at jwind777 on bitchute I see
Thanks.
We are told 60 people died at the Las Vegas shooting and more than 400 were injured. Are you saying none of that happened?
Where are those 60 people today?
Under the ground or going about their lives?
Enclose a space.
Create a panic.
Clear out normies.
Bring in NDA actors.
In an MSM society governments probably thought they could get away with this stuff.
Wiki, liveleaks and an unregulated YouTube broke
that theory and had to be closed down.
The Smith-Mundt modernisation act of 2012 permitted Sandy hook, Boston and other hoaxes to be staged legally.
As with the USA so goes its satellite countries.
Jeffersoniangirl at 153news,net posted the testimonies of over 100? Victims? At the Vegas event, who were employed by police, fire, medical agencies, and just happenened to be
attending the show.
I hear ya loud and clear.
I watched some of that jwind777 stuff and did some research on Las Vegas at the time of the shooting.
I asked at the start of this conversation if you or anyone had “smoking gun hard evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that any of Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Port Arthur, Dunblane, Boston Marathon, Barcelona truck attack, Westminster Bridge car attack, Molenbeek, Stockholm truck attack, Bourke Street, Orlando Pulse were false flag/scam events?”
There is no smoking gun hard evidence in jwind777’s research.
Not like we have for JFK, 9/11 and the Christchurch mosque shootings.
The problem with conspiracy theorists is that every single mass shooting has to be a conspiracy. Case closed.
Where are the 60 Las Vegas victims who died today?
People have cellphones. Where are the photos of the victims?
I don’t understand. You site people standing around in Christchurch as evidence of red hot smoking gun evidence when there are several better events you should focus on.
Can you provide evidence of Vegas survivors (or others) without referring to the MSM?
We can only point out inconsistencies. Nothing else.
We of course can invoke science to prove how buildings collapse.
As for the rest, it should be regarded as spin and disinformation
I assume from this that you think lee Oswald was the lone gunman.
It’s really very simple.
Yes, the video shot by Tarrant has smoking gun evidence that he was not a lone white supremacist as we were told by the government and media. That’s the main reason the video was banned in New Zealand.
I have no evidence that any of the 60 killed at Vegas have survived.
It’s not my job to try to find them.
The onus is on anyone who claims the event was staged/fake and those people didn’t die, to give us evidence that they are still alive.
Their names and photos have been published in the MSM.
You (and I) may believe that Tarrant was assisted, but we have no evidence.
Any evidence that may exist we cannot show.
Yet you disbelieve other events because the evidence has been purged.
I have no interest in searching out people who maybe don’t exist or are otherwise protected.
We can however show up inconsistencies in the MSM narrative; laughing families at Sandy Hook, a gut shot, pelvis fractured women being carried for a mile? at Vegas.
A man shot four times and released next day at Orlando.
(Each a record mass murder event for the US at the time of its occurrence btw)
But we DO HAVE evidence with Tarrant. In fact we have SMOKING GUN evidence that he was assisted.
YES we can show it.
Watch Tarrant’s video. I can help you with it (off-site) if you like.
I’ve already given you the parts where to look.
It is indisputable evidence.
If you have smoking gun evidence for any of the other mentioned events pleased let me know about it.
I want to be clear about my position on the other events.
Yes, there are suspicious occurrences in videos/details for the other mass killing events.
But I have yet to see any smoking gun evidence that proves they were false flag/scam events as I said at the beginning.
I want to see the smoking gun evidence. Without it, I don’t see why James would be interested in doing an exposé on them.
As is always the case with crimes, the onus on those who are claiming foul play/false flag/scam etc. to prove their position, not on me, or anyone else to prove (in this case) the victims are still alive! If you can’t provide the smoking gun evidence then all the events you mentioned are simply conspiracy theories.
JFK, 9/11 and Christchurch have all passed the conspiracy test!
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Absolutely!
I have seen the same inconsistencies you have seen with them.
But I haven’t seen the smoking gun evidence I need to be convinced they were conspiracies.
A laughing father, suspicious as it is, doesn’t do it for me along with all the other evidence provided.
The Wasp Files on YouTube will tell you all there is to know about Port Arthur.
The many inconsistencies in the official story which led to the possible wrongful life imprisonment of Martin Bryant and his guilty plea possibly extracted by torture after 5 months incarceration in which he professed his innocence should be deserving of an official inquiry.
The researcher behind The Wasp Files has devoted eight years to deep diving into the subject including interviewing many eyewitnesses.
Very thorough.
Thanks .
Also the free pdf ‘Mass murder official killing in Tasmania ,Australia’
– big worm books
Strange how they ordered a 22 person mobile mortuary truck and sold it soon afterwards.
Another botched trial.
What a surprise!
Thanks Martyn.
Port Arthur was off my radar screen at the time.
I watched the link you gave me and there is a lot of interesting information in it.
The video mentions (Part 1). Is there a (Part 2)?
I see there are dozens of other videos put out by this WASP file guy but can’t see Part 2.
He weaves an interesting story but there are several loose ends that he doesn’t explain in it.
Given what I’ve seen so far, this massacre, although very likely a false flag operation, doesn’t have any smoking gun evidence. Same with Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Boston Marathon etc.
A little clarification.
When I said it was off my radar at the time I meant my having any suspicions of foul play etc.
I was of aware of the killings in 1996.
Martyn I’ve had a chance to watch another very interesting video on the Port Arthur killings and I am quite confused.
The picture that Paul Moder paints in the video link you gave above is totally different from the official story.
I don’t know where Moder got his evidence that the killings took place on the Isle of the Dead (only accessible by ferry). The bodies of the 35 people killed were far away from that island.
Are you saying there were no witnesses to the killing of the 35 people at the Broad Arrow Cafe in Port Arthur and nearby?
Suffice it to say, I wouldn’t touch this one with a ten foot pole!
Where did the “official” story come from? Where did most people get their information from on these events? Now tell me how trustworthy those sources are?
If there are holes in a narrative, the holes are covered up through methods of cohercion, and the source of the narrative has the pimary purpose of propaganda, not information, what else can we conclude?
You raise a fair question.
Let’s take 9/11 as a comparison.
We all know the official story. We read about it in the newspapers and watched the MSM TV and heard the government tell us what happened.
Fortunately we have other sources for our information.
We have dozens and dozens of videos of the event.
Another very valuable source was eye witnesses.
There were witnesses and survivors of the Port Arthur massacre. Surely they can tell us if they were on an island or not. Pretty basic stuff wouldn’t you say?
I think it depends on how staged the event was. If the only witnesses where paid to be there, unlikely. For comparison look at the eye witnesses’s who contradicted the ground zero story vs the supposed passengers on flight 93(?) that was supposed to have crashed into the Pentagon.
First of all you are assuming the event was staged.
Nothing in Moder’s video convinced me it was staged.
He’s a good actor (his profession) but that doesn’t make his story or any parts of it true.
I don’t get your 9/11 comparison.
You are comparing ground zero (New York) witnesses to the Pentagon, huh?
And it was Flight 77 that was supposed to have crashed into the Pentagon.
Speaking of staged events, everything is a conspiracy etc. Do you think the recent Australian massacre was also staged?
James Fetzer wrote a book, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook, with abundant evidence that it was all staged & fake, & he was taken to court & had to pay a big fine. But what he wrote was true. It’s like Holocaust revisionism being illegal in many countries.
The truth stands on its own two feet. Lies need laws, coercion & punishment to prop them up.
Yes Fetzer wrote a book on Sandy Hook.
One would think that a person armed with all his knowledge about the event
would be able to present his rock solid evidence to the court and have them
dismiss the case.
But that didn’t happen. What happened to the truth?
Did you read the court proceedings?
Of all the reams of evidence that Fetzer could have presented,
why did he just talk about a birth certificate?
Correction:
My favourite badly executed false flag street theatre events include; the Boston Marathon bombing, the Barcelona truck attack, Westminster Bridge car attack, Molenbeek (and Brussels airport) event, the Stockholm truck attack, the Bourke Street massacre, the Orlando Pulse nightclub thing, and, of course, the Vegas event.
Many great analysis of these events were scrubbed in the internet purges of the last 10 years.
Darrell y. Hamamoto did treat this phenomena in general extensively , he does have a substack but also yt chanel named „ professor hamamoto“ / cultural forensics . I dont know any contribution from him explicitely treating the sandy hook incident, but he treats lots of cases . But bring some patience as his programms are usually 1-1,5 h and sometimes has looooong introductions and often being „ off topic“ until you get some valuable info . But i like him and no doubt , this man knows a lot !
The only ones who forgot are the ones who never examined the truth of the story with a critical eye to begin with.
Word of the year: reportage. Reasons: such a perfect book in its design and content and separately, the word itself sounds and looks nice to me.
reading it just makes me angry lol
WOTY = “Truth” = only way out of the chaos, spirals, etc
It will set you free! Also, interesting philosophical rabbit hole of what Kierkegaard equated with truth.
Romans 1.18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth…. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie….
We love the truth when it enlightens us, but we hate the truth when it accuses us. We love the truth when it reveals itself, and hate it when it reveals ourselves. (St Augustine, Confessions)
The more light you let in, the more dust you notice.
The words Moses, Noah, Abraham etc. don’t appear in the historical record before c. 200 BCE.
In the archaeology of Elephantine Island for example.
Non ad rem. But speaking of Noah, this little known presentation is provocative:
“Cataclysm from Space, 2800 B.C.: The Cause of the Biblical Flood.” This destroys the 14 billion year “uniformitarian” molecules to man theory & strongly supports “catastrophism.” Introduced by the great G. Edward Griffin.

Ahhhh…
Never the DESERTION of money
I find that telling. Obs could be a form of money but if not honored it’s a disgraceful desertion of honor.
As an aside , I was glad to see some mention the Las Vegas shooting . It has all the Moussed hallmarks.
Obligations not being fulfilled. As this article suggests ” Bibi was lucky Sheldon Adleson died before his testimony to the court. It would have changed the complete history in Palestine if Adleson had testified against Bibi.
Netanyahu Is Lucky Adelson Died Before He Could Testify to Prosecutors – Israel News https://share.google/I9GljCOsWXJr2m3f4
All those shootings that occured around then , could have been Moussed ‘s miss directions to complicate the narrative. Hollywood money, Adleson empire and Israel are infinitely connected. Now Gasa will be for sale.
It has indeed been quite a year for humans. There are thousands who are looking into the reality that this realm we share comes from a reset in the 1800’s. Hundreds of pieces of evidence and questions of importance.
We have been betrayed by Trump and quite possibly is working towards us being in a World War III situation.
We have witnessed the Israeli Zionists murder, starve, rape and more the true Semites of that area, the Palestinians with impunity.
We witnessed the assassination of Charlie Kirk for god knows what reason and by whom??
And on and on the darkness of these times so very thick and horrible, but…
We still have the freedom to come to this great site and talk about most anything.
I am thankful that in spite of my personal journey of pain and discomfort from my 5 week stay in an ICU where they almost killed me I have regained much of my per-hospitalization health and will be starting my own treatments using DMSO and Glutithione nebulized and various other homeopathic treatments/supplements, etc. and I have risen above that to stay focused on my Brain Food music and social politics.
I try to work on the assumption that things don’t happen TO me but rather FOR me. Sometimes I drop the ball but usually I am on top of things. I hope we all make it to a beautiful Spring time.
I want to share a lovely relationship song I wrote for a beautiful woman who was a teacher of the year back in California a few years ago to help regain some balance to my being…

My word of the year is “autogynephilia,” a man’s love of himself as a woman. As disgusting as it is, this word has to become part of the international conversation on so-called trans rights, a first step on the profit-driven road to transhumanism, e.g. eugenic dehumanization. Allowing paraphiliac men to sexually gratify themselves by putting on a womansuit and invading women’s bathrooms, prisons, and locker rooms is incompatible with women’s human rights. Allowing these same men to promote the castration of boys, again for their own gratification, is a practice every civilized society must condemn. I am incandescent with rage that despite Trump’s EO on Gender, these perverted men are still on the ascendant. The word “autogynephilia” appearing on every social media site every day until everyone knows what trans is really about would go a long way toward stopping the abuse and dehumanization of women, children, and deviant men themselves.

My word for 2025 is Hiraeth.
Hiraeth is a Welsh term that does not translate to English. It conveys a blend of homesickness, nostalgia and longing for a place that one has never been before in this particular lifetime. “Hiraeth” is a pull on the heart that conveys a distinct feeling of missing something irretrievably lost in the physical world.
It is said when one walks on lands that once were inhabited by ancient forests and many flowing springs that are no more, those that are attuned to the spirits of the Earth feel Hiraeth strongly.
People in modern day Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England and other once densely forested lands often feel Hiraeth. I feel it here in southern Ontario when I look at the GMO fields where towering Carolinian Food Forests once were.
Hiraeth also gives a name to that sense of incompleteness you feel when you’re acutely aware of something missing in your life. Something you’ve left behind in the deep past – a home, a sense of feeling at home in yourself, an out-grown dream – or maybe an ideal you’ve invented that can never be realized, or a hope that perpetually eludes you as the future unfolds. At its core, hiraeth boils down to an awareness of the presence of absence, kindling a feeling in which pain, longing, nostalgia and joy are braided too tightly to untangle.
In these times when empires and corporations built on extraction, commodification and decimation of the last few intact ancient forests that hold the original memory of health and wholeness that God intended us to access.. I would describe this as a time of tax payer funded Hiraeth for future generations (unless we stop them).
and i`ll share this track here as I feel it suiting.
The Lost Words Blessing – Spell Songs
https://youtu.be/Hg1xFYpXuWA?si=TsLj3e0KQv1sAZPb
Karine Polwart suggested the idea of a blessing that borrows images and phrases from many of The Lost Words spells by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris (Bluebell, Dandelion, Fern, Heather, Heron, Kingfisher, Lark, Otter, Raven and Starling), as well as from new spells (Goldfinch and Grey Seal). The form is inspired by blessings in Scottish Gaelic, particularly from a beautiful collection of charms and incantations called Carmina Gadelica.
Lyrics:
Enter the wild with care, my love
And speak the things you see
Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
And even as you travel far from heather, crag and river
May you like the little fisher, set the stream alight with glitter
May you enter now as otter without falter into water
Look to the sky with care, my love
And speak the things you see
Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
And even as you journey on past dying stars exploding
Like the gilded one in flight, leave your little gifts of light
And in the dead of night my darling, find the gleaming eye of starling
Like the little aviator, sing your heart to all dark matter
Walk through the world with care, my love
And sing the things you see
Let new names take and root and thrive and grow
And even as you stumble through machair sands eroding
Let the fern unfurl your grieving, let the heron still your breathing
Let the selkie swim you deeper, oh my little silver-seeker
Even as the hour grows bleaker, be the singer and the speaker
And in city and in forest, let the larks become your chorus
And when every hope is gone, let the raven call you home
What a surprise! This autumn I sailed my new boat from Suffolk, SE England back to South Wales and am planning to re-rig it and name it Hiraeth.
Although I have been a long distance sailor for many years and visited many strange and exotic lands, it is the sail home to Wales that is most rewarding – driven under the winds of hiraeth.
@kumro
Congrats on the possibilities for new adventures and the new boat.
I have not sailed much but I used to love kayaking on the westcoast of BC, hanging with the orcas, dolphins and otters.
Have you ever sailed to the Isle of Skye? I have an ancestral link to that place and other parts of the Hebrides islands.

I offer a Gaelic blessing to you as you embark on your journey.
Gum biodh na cuantan rèidh romhad.
Gum biodh gaoth chiùin a’ lìonadh do shiùil gu bràth.
Gum biodh blàths na grèine air d’aghaidh agus caoimhneas air d’anam.

The links to the “Hiraeth In Exile” band in the substack publication you shared are broken.
Could you please provide any direct links to songs aside from that one?
That was so beautiful and captivating. I understand and feel similarly.
Love Your work. I was wondering about a program you had on July 24, 2025. Your guest was Jacob Nordangard. He mentioned that he was going to the Builderberg meeting and that one of the topics was the pending end of America. Can you have him on again to discuss what the builderbergers have concluded about America’s end? Thanks. I am a retired American living in Southeast Asia and naturally I am interested in this topic as I have predicted this outcome for years. This one of the reasons I live here. R Bryant.
Word of the year – pharmacide; making a killing for Big Pharma with toxic vaccines causing death and disablement, and pharmaceuticals treating vax side-effects with more side-effects treated with more toxic drugs. Common usage this last year at: https://www.heartcom.org/2025rEVOLUTION.htm
Has anyone else had trouble with Substack lately? I tried to upgrade to a paid subscription and it insisted on charging me in British pounds, even after I changed my location to USA. Also, when trying to access a Sustack article, I was block from access because of potentially harmful information, and asked to prove I am over 18yo. Does Sustack default users as UK citizens?

Many may not realize this, but there is a communist war against us by making us sick–toxic vax too. This article states it, “because this is about poisoning the US citizens into compliance. They’re attacking you (and winning) by poisoning your food, medicine, water and air.
The war on the US isn’t about guns. It’s about something more effective than guns. It’s about poisonous food, poisonous water, poisonous alcohol, poisonous medications, poisonous coffee, poisonous WIFI and poisonous air. It’s about producing a population too sick, too fat and too brain damaged to resist this ongoing communist takeover attempt. This communist takeover attempt is described clearly in the video below but even telling people what’s really happening doesn’t matter……when the people hearing these facts are sick, fat and stupid. They won’t be able to organize their energy to push back effectively because they have no energy…..because they’re poisoned. Humans don’t work when they’re poisoned. They don’t. To enslave a human, you need them weak. Perpetual poisoning is how this is being done.” Link: https://dailynewsfromaolf.substack.com/p/why-all-the-guns-in-the-us-will-never?publication_id=1300612&post_id=180734684&isFreemail=false&r=53abx&triedRedirect=true
Does it really matter if it’s communist or something else? I don’t really differentiate between statist systems cuz everything is the same, communist or not. But hey if it works to make trump supporters angry and make them do anything, it’s all good. I wonder if would work on some democrats if you switched some terms around and said “capitalist” instead.

Word of the year
Popcorn 爆米花
Increasingly everything I hear and read makes little sense to me so my word of the year is: Bollocksoup. This is a more extreme form of WordSalad where the words themselves are so meaningless that it doesn’t matter what order they are spoken or written in. An example from the DementedInChief: “An old fashioned term that we use — groceries. I used it on the campaign. It’s such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it.”

Here’s something interesting i found. Poland has a report of their progress and challenges with the UN Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. It’s 180 pages long, I haven’t gotten through it yet but it’s mostly presented as “We’re striving to eliminate poverty and having high quality education” and since this report is from 2023 it heavily focuses on covid and the ukraine war. Since I remember Russia fearmongering was a thing, so there’s nothing new there. The report also mentions heavy focus on digitalization which in recent years have been a thing, there are whole news segments about “internet safety” and “safe shopping online” and some banks in Poland started offering a scam protection services and just yesterday i saw my family watching a breakfast TV segment where they were debating online doctors, how easy and quick it’ll be to get appointments and help you need if you switched to online doctors. And in recent years there’s been a heavy push for the nuclear energy (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you ask me). Anyways the report is available here https://www.gov.pl/web/rozwoj-technologia/monitoring-realizacji-agendy-2030 and the English version is called “Raport VNR 2023 – wersja angielska” but if you auto translate the website it’ll tell you it’s the English version anyways. Enjoy!
Virginity is an interesting word/concept. In the literal sense, it’s synonymous with untouched, unspoiled, “cherry;” as in “Virgin territory.”
And therein lies a key distinction between the literal & the figurative, or metaphorical.
I don’t know about Queen Elizabeth in the 17th century, but we non-superstitious interpret Mother Mary’s “virginity” as her uncorrupted purity of Spirit, or Soulfulness. Not never penetrated, hymen intact, impregnated miraculously, Platonically, Ideally(? – NO!)
We’re carnal, literally made of meat, fleshed out.
So, here’s my recommendation for a new Christmas chant:
Hail Mary, to BE merry! (Hail yeah)

I’m intrigued by the implosion of the conservative movement since Charlie Kirk’s assassination. You have the Candace Owens vs TPUSA shitshow, Tucker Carlson, etc. The right are eating their own. It’s been disappointing to see folks who used to question things like the Covid narrative, for example, fall in line with the official FBI narrative that a disgruntled leftist with a transgender/furry significant other took out Charlie Kirk. Oh, and these same folks will also scream if you ask any questions about Israel. The entire thing is a distraction and perhaps a psyop altogether. Anyway, I am curious what others think. I think the self-righteous “walkaways from the left to the right” and these so-called conservatives missed the plot. Thanks for reading. Cheers and peace, Sue
Necessary for the pendulum to swing to the false opposite “left”. Inevitable as well given MAGA/MAHA hubris and utter failure to produce any change of substance or accountability of actual criminals since both fake “left” and fake “right” work in concert to protect each others (even pedos). While there are many people that actually want to see those positive changes implemented, the kakistocracy is intent on steering it back to MIG or really MZG (Make zionism great).
My choice is 沌 or Chaos
Second kanji in the phrase: 混沌を秩序に変える or Turning chaos into order (“halfway” to Agenda 2030 or UN SDGs)

Konton o chitsujo ni kaeru -> note that Kaeru is both the Japanese word for Change and Frog. There is an actual tradition of giving someone a frog totem before they go on a journey for good luck so that they may return (tachikaeru). The custom dates at least to the Edo period, so I wouldnt quite consider it ancient either.
I’ve been reflecting upon Brain Rot. At first glance it looks like any other marketing scheme. Here’s why I think Brain Rot is an important milestone in transhumanism:
Brain Rot refers to seemingly benign, cute (?), stupid little characters that appear in short videos singing stupid little songs, all neatly packaged and slickly produced by artificial intelligence.
Brain Rot is an advertising and marketing scheme entirely developed by AI. No human hands are involved. Of course, AI first had to cause a group of individuals to be physiologically modified, their brains actually made to be abnormal (or transhuman) due to their overexposure to electronic devices during neural development starting from a very young age. There are a number of studies on this – they can easily be found. In essence, the AI algorithm monster selected the content required to modify the young humans in order to study their behavior, find out how they would click on certain content, and then developed its own line of content to market directly to their modified, transhuman subjects.
These “new” humans will be quite well prepared to accept whatever AI government or leadership is arriving.

How to make the kanji for “censorship”?
WHAT A LEADING U.S. LAW PROFESSOR JUST REVEALED
https://x.com/JimFergusonUK/status/1996919026597941692
A major warning was issued this week—not by activists, not by commentators, but by one of America’s leading constitutional law professors.
He was just in Berlin, and what he described is chilling.
He said only TWO people at the World Forum were defending free speech… and the rest of the room was demanding coordinated censorship—not just across Europe, but against Americans.
And here is what he testified:
European regulators want U.S. speech controlled by EU law
Platforms are being threatened with ruinous fines
International bodies now expect enforcement against U.S. citizens
Silence is being globalised through regulation, not debate
He also stated that Hillary Clinton personally intensified this push—calling on the EU to weaponise the Digital Services Act when Elon Musk acquired Twitter.
Think about that:
A former U.S. presidential candidate urging a FOREIGN authority to pressure an American company into censoring U.S. citizens.
According to this professor, what is happening is not organic—it is strategic.
He said the Berlin gathering was “the most anti-free-speech event” he had ever attended.
He warned that:
“This is how censorship becomes internationalised.”
Not through law in Washington.
Not through court rulings.
But through transnational regulatory power overriding domestic rights.
As he put it:
“Free speech isn’t falling—it’s being dismantled.”
This is not speculation.
This is testimony—firsthand—from someone who was in the room.
Defending free expression is no longer optional—it is urgent.
not a single one either unfortunately… 検閲 (Ken’etsu)
Thank you.
My word of the year is “UNMASKED”. Since the unmasking of Covid 19, this year has been an unmaking of the deep state and its agendas (Thanks, James, for Reportage), government corruption and lies, pedophilia and perversion, medical cover-up, geoengineering and weather weaponization etc.
my word of the year is ”Kleps” diminutive for kleptocrats … could also be used interchangeably with ”The Man” to designate the kleptocratic class …
The word I would choose to sum up 2025 is Ominous. The world and many of it’s “leaders” looks as threatening as a tornadic thunderstorm about to drop upon sea and land with nowhere to find shelter.
My vote for “Word of the Year” is:
DECEPTION
but maybe a better word might be:
TREACHERY
SNAFU
(I’m cheating, taking a cue from James, in my case by way an acronym. But I think “situation normal, all f*cked up” is applicable to the human condition in any year since history began, no more so than now.)
My word would be “Love”
My wife and I just had our first child, a boy, 7 days ago. It was a traumatic labor that resulted in an emergency csection but he is here now and healthy and what an absolute miracle. The love I feel for my son is beyond anything I ever knew was possible.
Yes, the online world is full of negativity and of course there is horrendous events going on all around us but there really are so many wonderful doctors, midwives, nurses, dullas, therapist, family members, church members, friends and neighbors all around us who are full of love, kindness and compassion and who truly do care for one another. The support we’ve received throughout this pregnancy has been incredible and has made me realize the world is not nearly as bad as we are made to think it is from the perspective of our phones and computers. Even with all the evil and bad things in our world I’m so grateful to be here experiencing 2025. Love you all and wish everyone the same love I’ve been blessed to receive this wonderful year!
Inspiring! Every pregnant mom or family having kids is inspiring! I don’t know I would be as brave and courageous if I were young during this time to do so but I’m so thrilled and in awe of those who do! Thank you for believing and hoping.
@JCh129
Congrats my friend! 🙂
May your love of trees and knowledge in cultivating nutritious and beautiful food at home serve to nourish your son in both a physical and spiritual sense. May he carry the wisdom you have gathered in those areas forward in his own life and send out ripple effects of abundance, resilience and hope into his community.
Today’s secret word is, ‘BLOAT’, for 2025. If I must put in a description, I will start with the term, bloatware. Obviously we have progressed way beyond that term. What will AI systems consume in energy and water, among other things? Are the people investing in the systems going to end up losing their money? What did DOGE ball really save? Is government getting smaller or is the $ going up the food chain? Thank you for considering my 2 cents. Oh, I guess that sense is going out of circulation.

Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s comes into effect
~ On Wednesday, Australia implemented a world-first law banning under-16s from holding social media accounts, deactivating more than 1 million accounts across 10 platforms including Facebook and TikTok.
~ Citing child welfare concerns, Australian officials argued the law aims to protect children, with the Australian federal parliament passing the bill in last year, following a study on social media use.
~ Under the law, platforms must take `reasonable steps` to block under-16s, face fines up to 49.5 million Australian dollars, and Meta will start closing accounts on Dec. 4.
~ Two 15-year-olds have mounted a High Court challenge arguing the law robs 2.6 million young Australians of an implied freedom, while Communications Minister Anika Wells said the government will defend the measure and not be intimidated.
~ Tech companies say the ban could drive users to darker corners of the internet, platforms warn young users may turn to unregulated apps or VPNs, polling shows 73 percent support but only 26 percent confidence, and other countries are watching.

“when money is your master than your conscience is no longer your guide”
– Vandana Shiva
—————–
Several people in these threads have emphasized their negative feelings about Vandana Shiva based on a Club of Rome connection.
I do not champion her as some unimpeachable individual, however, I would ask you to watch this video and then after watching it and researching the pertinent subject matter, you share your thoughts.
https://tubitv.com/movies/100014828/the-seeds-of-vandana-shiva?
Vandana was inspired to become who she is today by the the Chipko movement in India, which saw rural women, famously hugging trees to prevent commercial logging in the 1970s Himalayas. This was a unprecedented powerful act of nonviolent ecological resistance against ecocide known as “hugging the trees” (Chipko means to hug).
These courageous women inspired the later organized movements to defend the sacred (stopping old growth logging through chaining themselves to trees on the west coast of the US and Canada).
I will tell you that as someone that was raised among the ancient trees in BC, and someone that has family in both the logging industry and those that are activists chaining themselves to our tall rooted elders to protect them against logging industry interests, that the Chipko women were a catalyst of truth, courage and healing, embraced by those dear to me here in Canada in the 90-s.
The future we co-create will be shaped by our choices in the here and now to either support active extraction of the last few ancient forests via our passivity or take action to prevent the destruction of the last few intact forests through sharing this.
Sean didn’t agree with James so I guess I’ll hang out with 戦争 [War]. I feel like I can hear the drums. And yes I hope and pray for 平和 [Peace]. I don’t think Sean has latest definitions (two is one, one is two), that’s one Kanji in my book. Best always, hoping for great 2026!

These are a couple of Bach’s works for the Christmas season, performed according Historically Informed Performance practice, that is to say, usually smaller ensembles, usually faster tempos, historic instruments or modern copies, gut strings on the string instruments, usually a countertenor in alto arias instead of mezzo soprano, vocalists and instrumentalists use less vibrato than in later music. These sound very much as Bach’s own performances would have, if his musicians had been as well trained. (Apparently musicologists argue about whether Bach actually employed countertenors.)
An aria from a cantata:
Auch mit gedämpften schwachen Stimmen BWV 36

The countertenor in this performance is my least favorite. Maestro van Veldhoven’s usual countertenor soloists might have been unavailable.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a heads up that those extremely rare and biodiverse primary endangered Temperate Rainforests on Vancouver Island I have posted about on here from time to time are currently being targeted by a combination of transnational corporate profiteers, corrupt psychotic government collaborators and their ground level jack booted enforcers (RCMP) for annihilation.
I document what has happened so far in the post below:
https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/one-of-the-last-ancient-temperate
Now that the tax payer funded militarized RCMP acting as corporate mercenaries (”C-IRG” now re-branded as CRU-BC, otherwise known as Canada’s version of I.C.E.) have dragged the indigenous forest defenders off be arrested, the clearcutting of one of the last ancient (primary) rainforest watersheds on Vancouver Island (in the Walbran valley) is going forward. As you can see from the video clip above, they are cutting ancient trees right down into riparian zones (burying salmon habitat in fallen trees, destroying those habitats for generations to come).
Most of these 500-1000 year old plus trees they are cutting down will be grinded up into pulp for Asian corporations or made into pellets to be burned in so called “renewable” energy power stations in the UK. The Drax corporation runs Britain’s biggest power station and investigations have repeatedly found trees from primary ancient forests on BC’s coast ending up as pellets in their facility.
As I explain in the video in the post linked above, we have endless second growth (biodiversity stripped) logging plantations in Canada at this late stage in the industrial civilization pillaging game, so this is not about needing wood for lumber or toilet paper. We can get all we need for that from the replanted forests. They are targeting these last few biodiverse ancient forests out of pure psychotic greed.
These people have no honor. We are living in times of overt corporate fascism and the perpetuation of imperialistic colonialism.
The evidence is clear, we live in a time when our tax dollars are being used to fund the creation of vicious teams of corporate mercenaries that use a combination of invasive surveillance, psychological warfare and physical brutality to pave the way for corporate interests to destroy the last remaining primary forests of the temperate rainforest and the boreal forests of Canada.
These are hired thugs and they are choosing to play a part in killing ancient beings, for profit, and destroying rare places of indescribable beauty. If we allow them to continue, they will ensure that our great grandchildren are not able to know the majesty, beauty and soul healing gifts that the beings in these ancient forests offer to share with humanity.
Please share link above.
For what it’s worth: This senseless destruction, it seems to me, is to show power and to generate feelings of powlessness and despair. All of the natural world changes over long time spans. Over time, the forests will take over the world again. The destroyers might have won this battle, but they haven’t won the war over humanity and nature.
@jo-ann
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
Besides the fact that the block of ancient temperate rainforest they are attempting to clearcut right now will be worth an estimated 61.8 million CAD$ (sold as mostly pulp to China and pellets to the UK for burning in their “green”, “renewable” and “sustainable” biomass power stations) and the fact that the government charges the logging corporations 20,000CAD$ in “stumpage fees” per tree, resulting in huge profits for those corrupt scum bags) yes you may be only something regarding it also doubling as an intended psyop to crush people’s spirits (though the profit motive for both the government and corporation CEOs is real too).
Thankfully there are very dedicated and courageous people that are putting their lives and freedom on the line to protect the thousand year old plus trees in that watershed by blocking the roads, laying infront of machinery, filling up logging equipment tire wells with instant cement, hanging themselves 150feet up in the air in the ancient cedar canopies on platforms so that if the corporations want to cut down the trees, they`ll have to kill people too and chaining themselves to giant boulders on the road so it takes cops hours to remove them before cutting can continue (so all hope is not lost yet for that ancient watershed). They started cutting the ancient trees on December 11th but despite being arrested (and then catch and released by corrupt RCMP because they do not want to deal with the court as the arrests were illegal) forest defenders hiked back up through the mountainside, in heavy cold rainstorms to set up blockades again yesterday, and again today. They have successfully stopped the majority of heavy equipment from being able to get in there to decimate the forest so far (only one section of river was decimated, shown in the video clip linked above, which is only part of one cutblock they intended to destroy out of 8 proposed cut blocks).
My other half also feels this is part psyop related in that those that want to keep humanity spiritually impoverished, easily manipulated and feeble would like to erase all of the peak expressions of God’s original architecture and expressions of health and wholeness (which are expressed in ancient forests) so that future generations will have stunted imaginations, no models for resilience to learn from and will be starved of the spiritual nourishment that God intended ancient forests to provide humanity as the living Cathedrals that they are. She may be onto something there, as people suffering from generational amnesia that have never been in an ancient forest are more easily manipulated, less inspired and less capable of both perceiving beauty and creating beauty in my experience.
Regarding forests taking over again, you are right, but these particular forests would take 3-5 thousand years to recover, so myself and others will fight to protect them at all costs

Here is a pic of one of the forest defenders that just snuck past the RCMP check points, through the heavy rain in the dark forest mountain side and climbed up into the top of an ancient cedar to protect her by forcing the loggers to choose between profits and a human life (she is up in that tree right now as I type this)

For some context on how activism rooted in animism and protecting the most ancient and biodiverse ecosystems and beings that currently exist can have real, multigenerational ripple effects:
——-
December 10, 1997. Northern California.
https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-187560776
Julia Butterfly Hill was 23 when she climbed Luna, a massive ancient redwood tree in Humboldt County, and set up a tiny platform nearly 180 feet above the ground. Her goal was simple: keep the Pacific Lumber Company from cutting it down. She expected to stay a few days. Nobody imagined she would remain in the tree for more than two years.
The old-growth redwood forests were disappearing, and Luna was one of the few giants left, believed to be between 600 and 1,500 years old. Logging crews had already marked it for cutting. Julia decided the only way to stop it was to live in the tree itself.
Life in the canopy was anything but romantic. She slept on small wooden platforms, hauled up supplies by rope, endured freezing rain and violent storms, and strapped herself to branches when high winds made the tree sway wildly. Helicopters flew close to rattle her, and loggers cut down surrounding trees to intimidate her. She faced isolation, exhaustion, and constant danger. Still, she stayed.
Through a solar-powered phone and later radio interviews, Julia began sharing Luna’s story with the world. She spoke about the damage caused by clear-cutting and the importance of protecting ancient ecosystems. Her quiet determination drew national attention, and the pressure on Pacific Lumber increased.
Day after day, season after season, she refused to come down. She celebrated two birthdays in Luna. She endured two winters. She learned the rhythms of the forest and felt a deep connection to the tree she was trying to save.
After 738 days, Pacific Lumber finally agreed to negotiate. On December 18, 1999, Julia climbed down from Luna. The company promised to protect the tree and the land around it in exchange for a donated payment from supporters. Luna was safe.
Her return to solid ground was difficult. After so long in a constantly swaying tree, she could barely walk without losing her balance. But she had won. One person had saved an ancient redwood that might otherwise have been lost forever.
Julia’s tree-sit became one of the most famous acts of environmental activism in modern history. It showed the power of nonviolent resistance and inspired people around the world to believe that individual action can create real change. Luna still stands today, protected and growing, even after surviving vandalism in 2000.
Julia Butterfly Hill gave up two years of her life for one tree. Many would call that sacrifice unreasonable. She saw it differently. She believed that change begins when someone decides not to give up, even when the odds are impossible.
One person. One tree. 738 days. And Luna is still alive because she chose to climb and refused to come down.
An insprirational story, beautifully told.
P.S. I admire your prose and tend to invision you as a guru working at a spiritual or healing center aligned with practices and benefits of nature concervancy. Your reach may be greater online, but in-person workshops (or group hikes or wild food cooking lessons) would be more memorable. Great lessons for homeschoolers’ field trips. Perhaps you already do this?
@jo-ann
Thanks I cannot take credit, that girl was the courageous one.
Some rogue psycho with a chainsaw tried to cut the tree down a few years back but people rallied, re-enforced the tree, prayed and the tree healed.
I appreciate your kind words about me and my work.
You describe aspects of my vision for my (yet to be purchased and built homestead) minus the “guru” part, just gets harder and harder to find legit property with the lithium mining pillaging in Ontario. Gonna have to settle for less property in another province soon…
I appreciate you envisioning the in person classes or workshops. I do get stage fright in such situations (though forest walks I would not as I feel at home) and I have had a college and forest kids weekend school here ask me about being a teacher, but I am gonna be moving soon so I do not wanna get people invested in the learning path and then ditch them.
I`ll re-consider doing it on a part time basis as I value your candid and life affirming input.
Thanks for the comment.
One can get over stage fright by practicing in front of small groups, then larger groups. Maybe try Toastmasters International – https://www.toastmasters.org/

(audio interview and transcript)
Excerpt (emphasis added):
“On December 10, 2025, the National Defense Authorization Act was passed through the House of Representatives by a narrow vote.
“This, greater than 1,000-page “bill” now heads back to the Senate, then on to President Trump’s desk for signature into law.
“On today’s show, Anti-geoengineering warrior Babooshka (follow her on X at @Tboo211 ) breaks down what happened in the House just minutes after it happened.
“We discuss the innumerable, terrifying, and infuriating “Defense” initiatives this monstrosity contains. These include
– Billions to fund the continued geoengineering of American skies
– $400 million more to Ukraine
– Funding to eliminate internet privacy for American citizens
– Back doors for CBDCs
– Electromagnetic weapons
– Directed energy weapons
– Psychological warfare“
Penny
There have been many harbinger’s of the coming economic collapse, and the treasury’s decision to stop minting penny’s is certainly one of the more telling.
I just watched the IC911 panel, and Corbett mentioned that internal gate keeping within the 9/11 truth community is already a problem. Where if you talk to the wrong person about a thing that isn’t in the accepted scope of the conspiracy, you’ll get black listed / people will ignore you and stop talking to you.
I think this has been my fear about people like Senator Ron Johnson and people like Tucker Carlson, coming in and kind of beginning to steer the narrative, basically hijacking it, and creating this tiered system of acceptable experts. Like tarting it up and pimping out to the mainstream media, while simultaneously limiting where and what can be acceptably discussed.
Did you hear where that guy, Richard Ellefritz was saying they’re going to curate a panel of socially acceptable people to become the public facing representation of the 9/11 narrative? And that they’re not going to include a lot of people who have been researching 9/11 for the last couple decades because they wouldn’t be accepted by the general public.
I thought that was interesting.
I’m not keen on gate keeping 9/11 discussions. I know I’ve been both vocal and critical about some people being given a platform (specifically, flat earthers)
It’s also interesting to me how they spent a whole hour debunking Dr. Judy Wood at the Turning The Tide conference in DC. Now I feel Weird engaging people in discussions about direct energy weapons, even though I have questions about what happened during the fires in Hawaii and then the fires in the Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles.
There should be room to discuss these other theories, without being banished from the room forever.
There are good points to both sides of this. Perhaps controlling the narrative is desired to prevent normies from rejecting ALL 9/11 thruth-seekers as nutters. Once the Overton Window has been shifted, more information can been considered. This slow creep of information is not unlike what the social engineers have been doing to us for the past century or so.
I’m still holding the position that the 9/11 conversation is dying, because those who were around to witness being bamboozled by the government and the media, are aging and shuffling off this mortal coil.
Kids these days weren’t alive for the event, and are incapable of the rage required to seek justice for a crime that didn’t alter their lives in a way they can see or understand.
But, the people who committed these crimes still have power, the structures of the state still exist, and those people still have an interest in controlling the narrative, as well as confusing us with a parade of clowns.
They absolutely do want internal gate keepers.
They absolutely do want a bunch of nonsense, to clutter- up any worthwhile discussion of 9/11.
You know what I’ve noticed about these IC911 events?
They’re draining.
They drain my mental and emotional energy.
They drain me to the point where I don’t want to talk about 9/11 for months on end.
They’re kind of poorly time-managed.
There’s an itinerary that’s not honored.
They send emails requesting audience participation, but then don’t follow through on that, and then I feel foolish for participating. Like “stoopid me and my dumbass questions that didn’t get asked”
…and they call Corbett to participate, and it’s like 3 am in Japan, or something like that, and they don’t even respect the fact that he is on this call at that hour, by honoring the itinerary by starting the panel on time.
And the only reason I’m even watching this panel is to hear what Corbett might have to say. Literally the only reason why I clicked on the link, and they can’t even respect his time.
Gate keepers can try to control the official narrative, but people are going to talk amongst themselves. They are going to come to a consensus, that the state and the gate keepers can’t control.
Mounsey Minute Episode 24: Three Nutrient Dense Red and Green Recipes from my book!
https://odysee.com/@recipes4reciprocity:e/mm24vid:3
The Holidays are just around the corner and so I wanted to give ya`ll a few different recipe ideas for getting your reds and greens on the table while also being able to explore the culinary expressions of far away cultures (cultures that just so happen to be nearby the home of that famous rabble rousing, money changer (corrupt banker) table flipping, anti-empire healer and carpenter from a little town called Nazareth that we all love so much.
This video above is slide show with this month’s Media Monarchy broadcast where James Evan Pilato and myself presented Three nutrient dense Red and Green Recipes as the topic for December, 2025. Enjoy! 🙂
My word of the year is Counterpoison. My dear friend Brittany Bindrim released a new album in October called Counterpoison with this explanation: “Counterpoison” is about transformation — an antidote to the toxins that corrode both individually and collectively. The title reflects the idea of art as a remedy: a means to transmute pain, betrayal, and societal decay into self-knowledge and empowerment.
I hope a few of the music lovers will check it out, and may you all find your Counterpoisons in the new year 🙂 Happy New Year to the Corbett community!!
@Stephchop
That is cool, I dig it. I`ll check out her album.

Here are some counter poisons of a different variety (for anyone you know injured by the mRNA injections or worried about potential damage/shedding from loved ones.

I’m glad you dig!
I really dig your blog post and this wealth of information you put together. Although I don’t have to worry about detoxing from the vaccines, I do have to worry about detoxing from just about everything else. Thank you for giving me a starting point as I start to take what I consume this year more seriously.
Mozilla appoints new CEO and says Firefox will evolve into an AI web browser
Over the next three years, Mozilla will invest heavily in integrating AI into Firefox, but any AI features will be opt‑out, adhering strictly to the Mozilla Manifesto and its principle‑driven differentiation from competitors.

Wishing you all a blessed Winter Solstice my friends!
On this day, may you embrace the natural darkness and may it serve to protect and nourish the seeds of hopes and visions you have for the future, just as the blessed darkness provided by the blanket of leaves and soil protects the seeds that were sown on the winter winds.

Here are some insightful thoughts on the darkest day of the year from Dana Driscoll
“The period of time around the winter solstice, when the light of the sun is weak and our days are so short, is a period of difficulty for many. Darkness is something that we fear in industrialized cultures; it is something that we work to drive away through our own inventions and ingenuity. We instinctively feel the need to light up our lives every waking moment–our houses at night become as bright as the sun, the various screens projecting intense light, keeping us up and wired late into the night. If a room’s lights aren’t bright enough, we call them “dim” and see this as a deficiency, working to make them brighter. Even as I’m walking down the streets of my town at night, motion sensor lights blind me as I walk past people’s houses on the sidewalk. Consciously, automatically, and unconsciously we are continually working to drive away the dark–and in the process, fighting the natural cycle of the seasons.
For a moment… let’s consider an opposite approach–that is embracing the darkness this time of year.
…The seed needs dark soil to spring forth. The roots cannot be exposed to light without damaging or killing the whole plant. Potatoes go green in the light. Maybe we are the same. The roots of our being are found only in the times of darkness: within ourselves, in our dreams, in the promise of a new beginning, in the quietude that can only be found in rest and open time. We need the darkness as we need the air to breathe. Blessings to you on the upcoming long night–may your spirit soar.”

If you click the link below you can see a pic I took in the early morning as the sun rose partially obscured by a dark thunder cloud filled with life giving rains and filled with the life giving super charged plasma aka lightning that enriches the air and soil with nitrogen, picture taken from the front of our home in southern Ontario:

Something occurred the a couple days ago that reenforces the seriousness of the realities James highlighted in Episode 413 – Give Send Gone.
As I have posted about on here and Substack, those endangered ancient forests on Vancouver Island I keep talking about are under attack by corporate pillagers.
Some really brave people have been hanging themselves wayy the hell up 150feet high in these thousand year old cedars to protect them against being felled, people chaining themselves to roads, bridges, laying in front of bulldozers, and engaging in various other peaceful means of slowing (and making it a lot more expensive for the logging corporations and RCMP) to get at the trees. They have not stopped all the loggers, but they have slowed the pillaging significantly and support is building from indigenous elders and artists (that are not part of the bribed corrupt government installed “tribal business councils”) are rallying to demand the trees are protected.
So a group of Mohawk musicians from Ontario started a Go Fund Me campaign to head out there and join the frontlines to defend the trees against pillaging.
Guess what happened… yup you guessed it, they criminalized dissent again, Canadian government ordered Go Fund Me to freeze the fund raiser because it is supporting those that refuse to capitulate to corporate tyranny and statist extractivists.
Here is a link to one of the musicians (Logan Staats) that was just violently arrested by corrupt RCMP in the Walbran valley while peacefully defending the ancient trees there for future generations: https://www.loganstaats.ca/
I admire the guy’s courage and integrity in this time when so many First Nations are internalizing the greed and colonial thinking of the statist pillagers and taking bribes to stay quiet or become corporate mouth pieces. His music is pretty good too.
He called for back up and his kin answered the call to bring their music and support to the front lines, resulting in the fund raiser mentioned above, and the Canadian government freezing their money. Well, they are doing a less vulnerable form of fund raising now and will be heading out west to offer free music and help rebuild the spiritual retreat cabin that Elder Bill Jones had in the forest (which the RCMP destroyed the other day).
For those interested in supporting the cause I can share a link to where you can help.
Here is a message from Layla Staats message from the original Go Fund Me that got frozen by the technocrats in Government:
“help bring music medicine to the ancient old growth trees in FairyCreek. Mohawk musicians are heading west to bring a Free music festival to the forest. Your donations help with travel and rebuilding the camp destroyed by RCMP.
All are invited to come enjoy the distinct sounds of revolutionary change and lend their voices in harmony. The old growth forests of BC are the last left on the planet.
if we could hear what the trees are saying right now, what do you think it would be?
the world can’t hear the trees anymore, the world only sees dollar signs and “economic growth”
support the earth and donate to the cause”
For a flash back to Episode 413 – Give Send Gone if anyone has not seen it (so you know what I am talking about in the comment above):
https://corbettreport.com/givesendgone
So I’ve seen it shared on social media and it’s absolutely amazing allegory for modern society, worth watching. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSVX56kjyFa/
