This Week in the New Normal #119
Our successor to This Week in the Guardian, This Week in the New Normal is our weekly chart of the progress of autocracy, authoritarianism and economic restructuring around the world.
1. CBDCS JUST KEEP ON TRUCKIN’
With war and Trump and Epstein et al. dominating the headlines, we’ve stopped getting our regular updates on the global move toward central bank digital currencies.
This is entirely accidental, I’m sure. But don’t worry, they’re still out there doing their thing.
In India, for example, a pilot scheme was launched, testing the digital rupee as a payment platform for state welfare plans.
In South Korea, the new Chief of the Central Bank – Shin Hyun-song – announced in his inauguration speech that the second phase of “Project Hangang”, the central bank’s scheme testing digital currency across payment platforms, is still ongoing.
In New Zealand, “experts” are telling the press that a digital currency is needed to “help NZ’s monetary sovereignty”.
And that’s just from the last three days.
Technocracy is coming, no matter who sinks what in the Strait of Hormuz.
2. Space Race 2.0
Fresh from Artemis II (allegedly) going around the moon and then coming back, we’re about to be launched into a new space race. Or even two!
First, there’s the private race between Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. Who’s going to win? It doesn’t matter. In the long run, it will be related to us as a symptom of billionaire hubris. Irresponsible use of private wealth to harvest something that should belong to all of us – the sky.
The real space race will be national and geopolitical – mostly US/China, but maybe Russia and others too. What nation will be the first to mine on the moon? It’s going to be so exciting to find out!
My prediction is that America will “push too hard”, and maybe get a photogenic (and totally real) astronaut killed, while China’s “grown-up” approach means they win long-term rewards and “international respect”.
The current characterisation of these nations in the news narrative makes this an easy-ish guess. The Guardian even calls them “the tortoise and the hare”.
In the long run, the “successful team” will be the one who cooperates with the “international community”, and it will be a sign of all the great things that are possible when we have a global government telling us all what to do…sorry, I mean “when we work together”.
That’s what Nature thinks, anyway.
3. Norway comes to the PArty
Every country of the world is announcing, one at a time, that they are banning social media for the under 16s, or the under 18s, or under 14s or…whatever.
It’s actually becoming pretty much a joke at this point.
Like an episode of a sitcom where, by pure coincidence, all the characters turn up at a Halloween party dressed in the same costume.
And, just like this, that contrivance would be the rather predictable and derivative work of writers who are paid more than they are worth but think they’re very clever.
If you’re interested in Norway’s particular brand of online anonymity-ending legislation, it will be for under-16s, and they are introducing it because…
[We] want a childhood where children get to be children,”
…according to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere.
As I said on Twitter, politicians are constantly playing a game where they all have to say the same sentence in slightly different words.
And they all suck at it.
BONUS: Poorly chosen date of the week
Multiple reports this week claimed that Germany was concentrating resources into re-arming, with the aim becoming “the strongest military in Europe” by a particular date…
Hmmm. That sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
It’s hard to believe a media machine so saturated in WWII imagery and references could possibly have chosen that year by accident.
It’s not all bad…
The good news this week is that the UK’s Assisted Dying bill is, well, dead. For now.
The House of Lords stopped the bill with a successful filibuster on Monday. So, no state-backed murder yet, or at least no legal state-backed murder.
Backers of the bill are up in arms, complaining about the will of the people being thwarted by a “handful of zealots” in the Upper House.
So the good news comes with a rider: it is temporary. They will push “reform” of the Lords, citing this as an excuse, and then force the bill through again in the future. They’ve been floating that since January.
It takes only a glance over the always-educational Guardian comments to see where this is going.
Kim Leadbetter, the MP driving the bill, said after the defeat:
“We will go again. The issue is not going away. There’s a very clear direction of travel around the world.”
Somewhat ironically, the Assisted Dying bill is going to be kept alive by artificial means until it can be fully resuscitated.

Fantastic observation as usual.
How is the assisted dying bill not relevant to bodily autonomy, same as vaccinations or abortion?
Bodily autonomy is either for everybody or nobody – its not a fucking buffet.
What has happened to this site?!
If social media were banned,I bet kids could figure out how to use group email to communicate. Or text messages.. Graffiti is social media. Who’s kids are they?
Absolutely spot on, the UN is not neutral its a Western tool used to beat non-EU/Israel/USA nations over the head and into submission.
“Guterres begs Iran to open the Strait. But where was his voice when the US blockaded ports? Where was his plea when Israel struck Iranian ships? The UN is not neutral. It is selective. It cries about tolls. Silent about bombs. That is not diplomacy. That is compliance. Pass this far and wide. The Secretary General is not a peacemaker. He is a firefighter who only shows up when the empire’s house is burning.”
An update on the rent boy fiasco – oh to be a fly on the wall – to hear the link between those guys and Starmer.
“Three men charged in connection with arson attacks on two properties and a car linked to Keir Starmer will face trial starting on this Monday, 27 April, at the Old Bailey
The three men are Mr Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian, Mr Carpiuc, a Ukrainian-born Romanian, and Mr Pochynok, a Ukrainian. All pleaded not guilty”
The above trial is in private no one/media – will have access or know the details of the case.
Meanwhile.
There you have it – do what I want or else.
“Keir Starmer will whip Labour MPs to vote against referring him to the Privileges Committee
It means any Labour MP voting for it risks being suspended from the party”
How did they find his address?
They will do a lottery for the moon and anyone will be able to enter.
However, you would have to supply 100’s of different ID’s, references
checks, credit rating, digital id, normal id wont be accepted.
Vaccine status.
The American and European taxpayer will pay for this.
“BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase are reportedly aiding the Ukrainian government in setting up a reconstruction bank that could see rebuilding projects being heavily invested in by private entities. The Financial Times noted that it would cost Ukraine roughly $411 billion to rebuild their country amid the onslaught of attacks by Russia, but the cost is continuing to increase.”

How US piracy works.
Reza Nasri (@RezaNasri1): “Since when does the jurisdiction of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia extend to the Indian Ocean? Since when has that office assumed the role of the UN Security Council? Are we to dissolve the United Nations and replace Security Council resolutions with “warrants” issued by local U.S. Attorneys? Any idea, SG @antonioguterres?” | nitter.poast.org
Israel as middleman. Israel call the shots and phone US Attorney of what to do around India.
And we al thought the Nazi’s and Zionists – were the main culprits on this type of warcrime.
The Intercept (@theintercept): “For the first time, documents confirm the CIA carried out tests on North Korean POWs and planned for much more invasive experimentation. https://interc.pt/4mZJIGE” | nitter.poast.org
Here is the question: Will the American people hear directly from the mouth of Cole Tomas Allen, – or will this person join Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and Charlie Kirk murder suspect Tyler Robinson, both imprisoned-in-controversy during Donald Trump’s second presidential term, by (also) effectively having his tongue cut out and becoming completely silenced?
Mind control must be a thing. All those young, fresh students studying law and entering politics with ideas of freedom and power to the people, only to become fkn arseholes.
Or is there a party day after graduation where they slip something in your drink and film you shagging a five-year-old?
Anyway thats the world we live in, Im sorry to say.
And on assisted dying. It seems to be working well in Palestine.
Not everyone turns into an arsehole but those that don’t won’t rise to the top for any kind of say-so. Ditto for politics, some honest lost souls there too….
1 CBDCS JUST KEEP ON TRUCKIN’…… we need to intensify our opposition to this digital authoritarianism – “98% of global GDP is involved in some stage of CBDC development.”, https://coinlaw.io/cbdc-statistics/
India’s ‘pilot scheme’ sees e‑rupee circulation soaring 334%, reaching ₹10.16 billion (~US$122M) by March 2025. Some ‘pilot’!!
Our freedoms and liberty are under threat.
Good News?
– The Polish National Bank has expressed formal opposition to a CBDC.
– The Swedish Riksdag has shown significant resistance to the Riksbank’s plans for an e-krona.
– The Ukrainian central bank has raised concerns about the risks of a CBDC, particularly the disintermediation of commercial banks.
Zelenskyyyy won’t want to disrupt the flow of cash & gold just yet !!!
“Disintermediation” means something the public is not meant to understand.
How Children Learn Respect For Others… Darcia Narvaez
https://darcianarvaez.substack.com/p/how-children-learn-respect-for-others
University bs and she is a woman who should know better. Children are born with natural moral laws per instinct and are fully capable of judging if anything is wrong.
They know a father should be a father and a mother should be a mother. They are not one minute in doubt about the true relationships and their natural roles.
It only goes wrong if their parents or other adults dont know these rules, but begins to change them with new ideas and ideologies.
If parents (and teachers) are responsible for their children, protect them, care for them, and teach them survival techniques and civilisation. Then they will be accepted.
“Mary weight 200 pounds, is tough on us, but she teach us something”.Heard from a child.
Are roles ‘natural’?
Yes. We are natural born into our roles here on earth.
Man and father born in to protect women, child, elderly by building homes in stone safe from weather and wild animals.
Woman and mother born to care for children, elderly and assistant to men.
The two is one unit. One cannot be whole without the other.
Grand parents have the role as back up and experienced reserve parents for grand children.
Together they form a strong safe family unit unbreakable for survival and development of skills for civilisation and our divine Lord’s glory.
Then humans must be the only species where the female is “born” to not be able to defend itself, feed and rear her children and feed herself.
I’m calling this pseudo-natural role BS. And who told you this skewed relationship where the female human was ‘born’ to be passive and inept?
No one ‘told’ me anything. Is that the way it is for you?
Someone should tell you something and then you can refer to this authority as this person told you to do and say it yes, as yourself are without ability to judge anything by yourself. A typical leftist.
Off course a woman can look after her self and feed and rear her children. Many women do exactly that.
But if they are alone mothers, they will miss a man in the house now and then.
A shoulder to lean her head to when everything from time to time become a little too much.
Same with men. They can do a lot. But if they are alone, they will miss a partner who care for them when they are tired of struggles, stand alone against the wall and in need of a friend.
“Lights, cameras, action!”:
https://www.garydbarnett.com/fraud-fakery-lies-and-a-dose-of-reality/
Lots of people in the comments, including the This Week in the New Normal team, claim to be updated yet haven ‘t lived in the real world; hence, the naivety of repeating headlines without doing any form of REAL journalism.
Real-world killers have always existed.
In reports, ICD-10-CM is a code for termination of pregnancy due to Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and is typically reported using O35.13 (Maternal care for (suspected) chromosomal abnormality in fetus, Trisomy 21) to indicate the reason, alongside Z33.2 (Encounter for elective termination of pregnancy) for the procedure.
One of the main reasons the ultra-scan (ultra radiation) was created was to find out if you had a Down’s child growing inside you.
Girls at school, unlike many who clearly went to private schools , when I was in school, girls as young as 13 would go missing ; their crime was getting pregnant, even if it was rumored they were ” forced upon ” (was the name even as raped back then). They would be sent to nunneries or Catholic places to have a child born into sin ; from a bastard, it was the worst thing a girl could endure, and she was shunned from the community , her family given a title.
Most of the girls were never seen again, nor was the child.
Handicap, Down syndrome, ”simple children” are often called ”unprivileged” ; the “Special Needs Ministry” and remedial classes and then remedial schools were created to benefit the children who upset other children and parents due to the way they looked or behaved.
If you placed your child in one of those places, the death rate was high.
You remember Matt Hancock ? Before his role as health secretary, families and campaigners reported that at least 40 people with autism or learning disabilities died in private ATUs since 2015. Later it was found over 2000 children had died in ”care”.
In 2020, Hancock faced legal action from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) regarding the “inappropriate inpatient care” of over 2,000 people.
At £17 , 000 per week per admission , the industry of being different was massive, and going into one of the ”care” facilities often meant death.
Different children were ‘locked up’ and ‘sedated’ in mental health … places.
The same with the elderly; the minute the equity on the house ran out, the elderly would often die within the ”care” facilities.
In this comment section , we have people who clearly only get their media source from alternate media and have never left their concentration camp of Happy Valley’s fake real world.
Homeless people : how many of your authors have ever told you that, by law, if you’re homeless and require shelter within the Christian homeless shelter, that if your stay is over three days , you have to have an X-ray and be vaccinated for TB ? If you fail to get vaccinated or refuse, then the God- loving Christian homeless shelter will refuse you a bed.
Nothing sells Christianity like the vaccine, as COVID showed.
Assisted dying is called being poor. And the Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) order has been around longer than this blog.
Get your fat lazy asses into the real world ; visit the church’s food bank or outreach projects, as you all claim you’re Christian (Performative Christians), and then see what they get up to help your ” unfortunates ” within the communities you all proclaim you’re a part of.
When I grew up, we avoided them like the plague, for that very reason, as they were known killers.
Golly, you know some stuff.
Doesn’t he just? I feel humbled reading him.
Should be, it better than anything you’ve written in a long time.
Nice to know you’re reading my stuff. I just hope you’re not wasting too much time on me when you could be penning more masterpieces.
Johnny, do you have any relations to lazy Jonny from another blog site?
when I read your stuff it sure is really lazy regurgitation of boring.
Thank you phalacy.
Word manipulation continues in your own comment here. So we are some who have been out there and here, with ability to catch and teach you too.
Your use of Christian, performative Christian, are referring to false Christians:
JW for example believe that the expression “The Whore of Babylon” represents “the world empire of false organised religion, referring to all other religious groups including, but not limited to Christendom.
Galatians 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Meaning that TRUE Christians do not act like you described, but would only do act as per Christ’s advise and way of living.
When this is said and your knowledge is recognized and agreed, we have finally a difficult greyzone not many want to mention, as where is the borderline?
How many people and resources is it responsible to favour on one difficult person:
10. 100, 1000, 10000 employees?
How much of a society’s resources can be spent to favour one on the cost of others?
It is these kind of discussions they had in ancient times re Eugenics, etc.
I mean it is easy to sit here and stay holy, but what do you do if you are out there in real life with real maniacs, disabled, Down, etc.?? Do we only stay holy and point fingers?
A performative Christian is what others call you on another site.
Name calling dont move anything. I dont swallow this generalisation precisely because I know how difficult it is out there.
So the few who actually try to some extent to help the vulnerable, they must suffer on top to be smeared that they do a shitjob, and this from Intellectuals who couldnt dream of giving a dime to any homeless.
In the real world I have seen both catholic schools and hospitals actually do a good job in hopeless societies. Only 5% is religion and the rest is good solid ABC and Calculation teaching. Same with the hospitals and First Aid.
Monks and Nuns are out there as a Christian life style, and what they see is difficult to see.
“..by law, if you’re homeless and require shelter within the Christian homeless shelter, that if your stay is over three days , you have to have an X-ray and be vaccinated for TB ? If you fail to get vaccinated or refuse, then the God- loving Christian homeless shelter will refuse you a bed. “
Regulations for Short-Term Stay in Christian Homeless Shelters
Christian homeless shelters operate under various regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of their residents. These regulations typically include adherence to local laws and guidelines.
Key Regulations
Support Services Offered
Many Christian homeless shelters provide additional support services, which may include:
Compliance with Local Authorities
Christian shelters are required to follow guidelines set by local authorities, which may include:
By adhering to these regulations, Christian homeless shelters aim to create a supportive and safe environment for individuals in need of temporary accommodation.
Shelter Legal England – Suitability of homelessness accommodation – Shelter England
Health and Safety Regulations for Christian Homeless Shelters
Night shelters – Safer Places of Worship

Repeated scans of the embryo and fetus may harm it. Some even get jabs while in the womb. Pushing the rising harm in embryos/infants/mothers under the carpet, onto doctors, solves nothing.
Empires and others in power had, and have, uses for orphans.
Welfare for the destitute may bring in more (a) destitute, because of loopholes (b) immigrants as capitalism demands cheap labour. Welfare also takes money away from our benevolent “job creators”. What are we, Communists?
Assisted dying is simply eugenics disguised.
The elitists have believed in this pseudo-science for over a century. Now as these bills become law incrementally in country after country they will be able to target anyone who doesn’t fit the profile of deserving to live.
The level of potential abuse is off the charts. Once again well-meaning people have been duped into supporting something that in exceptional cases may be justified but will result in many deaths that could have been avoided with the correct help.
Next up death panels as proposed by George Bernhard Shaw and again by Billy Goats.
I suspect that part of the transgender operation is also eugenics. Trans is “voluntary” self-sterilization. There are certainly many potential lines of descent which have been annulled by all those dupes experiencing the sheer “joy” and “euphoria” of getting neutered.
Before the trans-gender totalitarianism, a psychiatrist could certify that a “patient” found the presence of a limb intolerable. A surgeon would then “cure” the patient by removing it.
Governments have hoovered-up peoples’ medical records – private doctor-patient
records – handed them over to tech giants like Palantir. They claim it’s for “medical research” into cancers, and ‘genetic’ diseases… It’s easy to see how certain genes
can become the reason you should do hoomanity / the children a favour by
‘volunteering’ to be put-down. And there’s the scare medical resources you’re
depriving others from… How can you live with the pressure, the shame ? Do What’s
Ethical !!
The first big UK sale was to Google before “covid”.
2039? Well it makes sense. They did well out of the 20th century so they just want to repeat it. Only, like every sequel, it has to be bigger. First time round there was only one Hitler. Now we have hundreds.

“The real space race will be national and geopolitical – mostly US/China, but maybe Russia and others too.”
Now here is where I disagree. All those “nations” are merging with corporations, most quickly the US.
That was the idea behind the movie Rollerball, and WEF later infecting the UN.
I thought of Biden as President Schrodinger, it’s like he was in/out of the coffin simultaneously. Where Trump is fake/real and at the same time real/fake.
How better to get total msm coverage of your “attempted assassination”
than attempt to carry it out where so many media people are gathered.
Genius ?
Perhaps we could have a worldwide referendum on ‘assisted dying’ for psychos in suits.
That, or send as many as possible on the next big space adventure.
If They want for the young ‘a childhood where children get to be children’ then
‘”schooling should be abolished, Now ! Let children be children, Now !”
And because EVERYONE is affected by said restriction, all adults are regarded by
The Authorities as children.. . And also for the adult children, censorship; framed
by The Authorities as ‘protection from dis-information.’
If there’s a giant military boondoggle to be combined with a property swindle, guess who wants in:

A fatality in the new Space Race is a good call not just because it can be blamed on Trump/American vainglory but because it could be used to shift space exploration entirely to robotics and A.I. which would get the Scientism-inclined more in love with that tech plus be even easier to fake. I hope NASA have gifted the Chinese their CGI because the fake Chinese footage so far has been dreadful.
Meanwhile it’s looking increasingly inevitable that Trump will be removed from the Presidency sometime after the midterms when the Democrats have a majority in Congress. It might be recalled that a fictional President who looked a lot like Trump was killed in the film ‘Civil War’ for refusing to leave the White House….
Very likely Ed. And the new president will follow exactly the same agenda ….. of course.
George Galloway: EU wants to give 40 Billion –which we don’t have–
to Ukraine to give to the US for weapons– which they don’t have– so Ukraine can put them in the hands of soldiers–which they don’t have.
Galloway is a limited hangout covidiot “multipolar” shill. As fake as they come. Why the hell would you be quoting him? In fact why come here at all to post mainly off-topic mainstream talking points? You almost never have anything to say about the issues raised in the article you’re commenting on.
Because as daft as he is on some issues he’s right sometime too. Is this one of those times? Who knows.
Penelope does this so we don’t have to read the MSM. It is never a bad thing to keep up with what the enemy is babbling about, even if most of it is lies and we of course know they are lies. Anyone who puts themselves through that should be seen as making a necessary sacrifice of their own time to try to decipher the madness of the agenda, pointing out the idiocy as well as the contradictions, of which there are so many. I personally am highly grateful when I do not have to go anywhere near the MSM.
I think posting about our ‘governments’ military spending blowouts is right on topic with “Multiple reports this week claimed that Germany was concentrating resources into re-arming, with the aim becoming “the strongest military in Europe” by a particular date…” from the points raised in This Week’s New Normal episode, no matter out of whose mouth this interesting snippet came from.
If voluntary, as I understand the UK and Canada are doing assisted death…
IT’S NOT MURDER IT’S A CHOICE
How the fk do we support restrictions over choice?
Oh right, bullshit fake morality.
Remember Kevorkian was arrested by the state cause he helped people who are miserable die?
How did you switch sides?
If you involve third parties your “choice” becomes inviting others to murder you. Surely you can see how open to abuse and creep a law like that would be. We already have examples where coercion has been applied to confused or depressed people only for them to change their minds at the last minute, but they are euthanised anyway, because they are deemed incapable of assessing the value of their own life.
This not about assisting the terminally ill to a painless end, there’s already perfectly good ways of achieving that which are routinely practised every day all over the world. This is about conditioning people to accept the right to life is not a universal absolute and the ultimate aim is for us to accept the state has the power to decide when persons should live or die.
Hospitals can keep showing patients their mounting debt, until the Ministry of Terminations steps in.
My next door neighbor went out on his back porch and shot himself in the head. His wife found him, a bunch of cops came, it was a mess. Poor guy was so fucked up he couldn’t take it anymore. I’ve thought about that myself, would I take a gun to myself if things came to that. There’s got to be a better way.
I always though this assisted dying bill was a scam and puzzled by supposed
intelligentsia in alt media who believed that the government and it friends needed a law to kill you.
However they did pass one not so long ago…
Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill,Act 2021
The act makes provision for the use of undercover law enforcement agents and covert sources and the committing of crimes in the undertaking of their duty to engage in criminal activities – including rape, murder and torture – with impunity.
Trump Third Assassination Attempt on Trump Foiled at DC Event. 922! how did you miss his martyrdom to help his midseason.
Only botch is that the assassin was on the wrong floor. Also altho he was “shot” there’s a picture of him stripped to his underwear &– no blood. He is a teacher & an engineer; I wonder how they conned him into it. Bizarrely, at the pre-arranged press conference (meant to be post-assassination-attempt) when the press wanted to know who the “assassin” was Donald knew the man’s name.
Ahh, it’s enough to give one a superiority complex.
The Crisis Actor industry is expanding rapidly. You don’t need any qualifications to apply, not even acting ability.
tRump’s early retirement package.
He looks dead on his feet most of the time anyway.
President Rubio is on the starting blocks
What about Vance?
Rubio’s got the street creds and he mixes in the Chosen circles.
“I wonder how they conned him into it.” – Good question.
He’s too old to be Kaczynski’d like the Charlie Kirk shooter, so maybe they’ve stepped up their ability to spot and manipulate people MKUltra style?
The media got up close to show he is non-White, as intended.
Framed from the very beginning as “an assassination attempt”. No evidence. No proof.
More likely, the guy just found out the name of the reporter who was canoodling with
his wife…
I bit the bullet! I donated. I bitched and I was rewarded for my bitching. Ten pounds. Had no Idea how it would look in my credit cart account. $13.62 in American dollars. I expected my finicky bank to reject the charge. Not so. Not yet. There you go! We are on our way to restoring normalcy. First things first, now that I have given up all that cash. Disband the United Nations.
Ah, you prefer the Peace Board.
“Peace Train” – ‘everyone wants to ride on it’… Yusef Islam (aka – Cat Stevens)
He was ahead of his time, saw Uk’s Islamic future ?
Great Song. Had the 8 track of Cat Stevens greatest hits. 1974. 8 tracks were already at the end of their run.
The seven who filibustered with hundreds of amendments tabled were all life peers mainly either Tories or cross-benchers ( no party affiliation) with one being originally a Tory hereditary peer.
They are being slammed for being anti-democratc by the likes of pro-assisted dying NGOs. Also, by Ester Rantzen who did say that she was going to go to Dignitas in Switzerland to end her life because she couldn’t off herself in the UK. That was back in 2023 after her supposed terminal cancer diagnosis. Yet, here she is three years on, still alive and kicking, campaigning to end the lives of others while continuing to claim she hasn’t got long to live herself.
I feel sorry for the Grim Reaper – looks like he’s got a long wait with this one.
The Assisted Dying Bill has always seemed likely to be one of those ‘timewasting’ exercises where the only objective of the rulers is to create ‘passionate’ debate from both sides with nothing ever likely to happen. Governments don’t like suicide, as a rule, for political as much as humanitarian reasons – obviously you can’t pretend the country’s future is rosy if too many people are topping themselves, and plainly think otherwise. Certainly in the UK you can barely cross a pedestrian bridge or stand on a railway station platform without signs with the Samaritans’ number. Assisted Dying always seems a dubious concept given that by definition you have to be severely depressed or incapable to want to end it all and that fact could be exploited by unscrupulous relatives.
This isn’t about suicide, it’s about legalised murder. It’s about the thin end of the wedge, and the thick end will be forced euthanasia for the elderly, the mentally handicapped, the depressed, the chronically ill, the homeless, unwanted or imperfect babies under 18 months (post-birth “abortions”). The right to life will become conditional. Humans need to be eased in to this antihuman agenda, and this is the first step.
You are right.
And moreover, they already do kill the old. They stick them in a “hospice” and then deny them food and water. Gets rid of them right quick.
The alternative is hospices for the terminally ill, but governments prefer to spend that money on other things.
Every country should have their own Space programme that the taxpayers should pay in to and see on National TV.
Because it is a competition about values and who get first to the valuable resources on the moon.
Either you are inside the game, or you are left out in the cold.
Artemis is a huge waste of resources, a giant ego trip with no function apart from subsidizing the aerospace corporations that make the components. They effectively freighted four people around the Moon, something of an achievement 50 or 60 years ago, but now rather pointless. This theater used resources that could have been used on viable science missions (many canceled or scaled back) and on maintaining a kernel of expertise.
Its the times we live in, I suppose. All window dressing and spin, no substance, just reality TV competition. It truly is the dystopia sci-fi writers promised us.
So you actually think there were astronauts on the Artemis II spacecraft?
No different than the human freight they send up to the ISS. They’re not really flying the vehicle, they’re just along for the ride.
Humans haven’t found a way to cross the Outer Van Allen Belt yet, the official plan for doing so by NASA – for the Artemis II mission was for the actornauts to hide behind the water tank.
The ISS orbits below the Outer Van Allen Belt.
The Artemis II could have orbited the Moon itself devoid of actornauts.
Yes, they have. Even James Van Allan himself dismissed the idea that the belts would prevent crewed spaceflight. And they timed it to avoid any solar storms.
Alex Boge on X: “Artemis II just did something moon-landing deniers keep insisting can’t be done. It passed through the Van Allen radiation belts out and back – with crew onboard and systems performing exactly as designed. No harm. No mystery. No “impossible barrier.” This isn’t new tech. This https://t.co/TYKJzsOwEg” / X
Just like they did in 1969.
Nasa admits humans can’t pass through the dangerous Van Allen Belts
But they attempted to do it in their imagination in the Nevada desert.
It was the best they could do at that time, and therefore it is almost the same as having been there.
Because they could imagine it with all the information they had from their telescopes and there satellites.
Therefore they did it, and my government would not have put it on television if they have not done it, one way or the other!
I already told people that we cant get out of this hell hole here called earth. We are locked in here, forever!
No I don’t agree with that – for me the technology to land on the moon and go further isn’t quite there yet, but it will be one day – that’s why the lies and deception are always in play.
You said it yourself.
We cant get beyond the Van Allen Belts.
The risk for getting a rock or meteor in your head or get your space ship smashed by the same is too big.
We are closed in a closet!
Infact humans never went to the moon at all.
Apollo 11: Deconstructing the false Communications, Tracking, Power and Logistics claimed by the ‘Moon landing’ using NASA’s own documentation. Apollo 11 narrative eviscerated.
This guy used the word “deconstructing” wrong. When you deconstruct, in real life, you prove nothing wrong or right.
So I figure he’s an idiot.
ou care to debunk a debunker?
“GROK can handle that claim: “…The Apollo spacecraft (both Command Module and Lunar Module) used a Unified S-Band transponder for voice, telemetry, TV, and tracking. The downlink transmitter’s RF (radio frequency) output power was indeed around 20 watts (from a traveling-wave tube amplifier, TWT), with some modes/configurations at lower levels like 5–11 watts depending on the mission phase or backup systems.NASA documents (e.g., technical reports from the 1960s like NASA SP-87 and NTRS citations) and Wikipedia’s Unified S-band entry confirm: spacecraft transmitters produced 20 watts downlink, while ground uplink transmitters were 10 kW (10,000 watts)—a huge asymmetry because Earth stations had massive power and antennas. The “refrigerator lightbulb” analogy is misleading: that’s comparing raw power without context. The key is effective radiated power (ERP) and link budget, not just transmitter wattage. Why 20 Watts Was Sufficient (Link Budget Basics)Radio signals over vast distances aren’t limited by raw power alone. The system overcame path loss through:High-gain antennas:Spacecraft: Steerable high-gain parabolic antennas (e.g., ~25 dB gain or more on the Command Module, with the Lunar Module using a steerable dish or backups). Ground: Massive 85-foot (26-meter) or 210-foot dishes at stations like Goldstone, Honeysuckle Creek, and Madrid. These provided enormous receive gain (~60+ dB) and very low-noise amplifiers (parametric amps with noise figures ~1.7 dB). Low data rates and efficient modulation:Voice: Narrowband subcarriers (e.g., FM/PM at low bit rates). TV: Slow-scan black-and-white video at ~10 frames/sec (320 lines), far less demanding than modern HD—compressed bandwidth to fit the link. Telemetry: 1.6 or 51.2 kbps rates, not “rich and varied” high-bandwidth streams. Noise considerations:Solar/thermal noise and cosmic microwave background are real factors, but the system operated above them. Ground receivers used cryogenic or low-noise tech to keep system noise temperature low. The link had positive margin (extra signal strength beyond what’s needed for reliable reception). NASA reports show margins of several dB even at lunar distance, rarely maxed out. Path loss over 238,000 miles at 2.2 GHz is huge (250–260 dB), but compensated by antenna gains on both ends (total effective gain >> path loss). Modern analogies: Probes like Voyager (now billions of miles away) transmit at ~20–23 watts with even smaller antennas, using similar principles (high-gain ground dishes, error correction, low rates). New Horizons (Pluto flyby) used ~12 watts at greater distances….” What is he going to claim the two Voyager probes and New Horizons (still sending amazing photos) were also faked?”
Don’t worry about the waste of money – they didn’t go. But, hey, the money is still wasted just in a whole other direction to make the rich richer just like every other penny that gets siphoned from our countries. Can we stop this now? Please?
The actor-naughts didn’t go anywhere. Where is a real photo (not image) of Earth taken from space?

Unfortunately we had to use a lot of gold on these space ships, as only gold can technically go outside the Atmosphere.
The space program has resulted in so many benefits to humanity that there is no contest. GPS alone has paid every cent back many times over. You people don’t know anything. You just have opinions.
Sounds to as though you have conceded – on the point that man went to the moon, and have instead decided to settle for the benefits of the likes of GPS – garnered from experience in low Earth orbit by humans.
Me I don’t take kindly to being lied to by NASA – and all the affiliated mouthpieces, who constantly tell us man did go to the moon.
Well then take kindly because they didn’t lie.
Are you the one who believes in space aliens?

I think South Korea is well down the line to CBDC’s as well – CBDC’s will be the beginning of the end for us.
What do you mean the US will finally kill an astronaut, they’ve already killed three, because they wouldn’t go along with the actornaut proramme, they were Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee.
As for Germany they are in the process of upping their reservist age to 70 Finland is upping its to 65.
Upping the reservist age – a future form of assisted suicide…
How to get rid of the grandads ? send ’em to The Front “To Protect The Children (TM)”…
Two nice ones for you, point to point:

3. https://rumble.com/shorts/v78g34u By the way none of the actornauts have a PhD, and all of them have been through the military. Figures…
No one is paying attention to the creeping Agenda because “there’s a war on”. Yeah, sure there is.
You wouldn’t have noticed ‘the war’ if you lived in the US. Our corporate media have taken to barely mentioning it. It is completely absent from the front page of our local rag, the Los Angeles Times, with the only mention being a page 3 article on the lack of talks in Pakistan. The Washington Post also appears to have stopped mentioning it.
Because we now have a much brighter, shinier, thing for our news attention. Someone attempted to gatecrash the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night carrying a shotgun and was, as you could guess, tackled and arrested. This fellow checks all the boxes (except for not having an Islamic sounding name) — he’s obviously a leftie (is a teacher from California(), has a manifesto and so on. All the good stuff you need to take peoples’ minds off the debacle in the ME and maybe pump up our Dear Leader a bit (not to mention the need for ‘extra security’, a secure venue like a White House ballroom and so on). Now, for better or worse I seem to be slightly notorious on this site for not being over enamored of conspiracy theories. Well, now meet the exception that proves the rule this little incident is just too convenient, too well timed and (from a purely practical perspective) too damn silly.
Could be, the lack of msm coverage is evidence USrael isnt winning Their War against Iran ?
Of course, there could be a conspiracy by those who frame everything as A Conspiracy
to look down their superior noses on anyone who doesnt share their conspiracy mindset ?
(Two qualities CT’s seems to have an abundance: dis-trust (of Authority) and a penchant for unfalsifiable theories ?)
Epstein is also not mentioned. But of course our owners are taking care of us there, protecting us from that silly Epstein hoax that couldn’t possibly be true.
What is this for a name? Maybe you think nobody would see it, but here we are!
In 20 years a statue of trump made of posies (peace president) inscribed Trump stopOIL by blocking traffic
Trump fired the USA’s top navy man – because he wasn’t implementing a new suer warship quickly enough, called the Trump Class – which he (Trump) calls the Golden Fleet, however the expensive Zumwalt class, is expensive to run and repair – and the proposed railgun and hypersonic missiles that it was meant to have didn’t materialise.
They remind me of the USA’s Littoral Class which turned out to be lame ducks.
A Navy man must be able to sail………immediately and quickly, in order to save America and our Constitution.
You cant sit with both boots up on the office disk as this guy was doing. This was the reason why Trump fired him!
