The law needs to be changed to declassify a Pension as a benefit.

I find it grotesque that having paid into a system all your working life that it’s deemed as a handout rather than something you deserve for working hard all your life.

Benefits are for people that don’t work

Pensions are for people who worked hard & earned their pension.

A pension is not a benefit.

RIP David Bellamy. A man who told the truth and presented the science despite it costing him his position and reputation.
True hero. History will be kind to him.

The United Nations has scrapped its worst‑case climate scenario.

Now is the time for a reckoning.

Entire countries shut down oil and gas and made themselves poorer based on the climate hoax.

Climate alarmists must be discredited, defunded, and issue formal apologies.

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

In 2016, the Netherlands Meteorological Institute adjusted temperatures at De Bilt, the country's main climate station. Daily maximums from 1901 to 1950 were lowered by up to 1.9C, which removed 16 of 23 heatwaves from the record.

The altered data were then used to claim modern heatwaves were unprecedented.

Four researchers challenged the changes, but the institute dismissed the criticism, so the analysis went to peer review. In 2021, it was published, conclusively demonstrating the method systematically erased historical heat extremes.

Today, the Meteorological Institute has quietly changed its approach, and as a result, seven erased heatwaves have been restored, including the extreme summer of 1947.

Here again, we have a government agency caught rewriting climate history. The Netherlands Meteorological Institute erased heatwaves of the past, ignored critics, and reinstated the truth only when the evidence became impossible to ignore.

Policies were built on that manipulated record.
Dutch farmers lost livelihoods.
Industry and the wider economy paid the price.

But accountability is coming.

@MusicJim2 Tough one, choosing between Eliminator and The Royal Scam but this is choosing the specific records rather than the artists so I’m going with Eliminator.

42°C IN ROME IN JULY 1841:
BEFORE CARS & PLANES:
UNRELATED TO CO2!
The maximum official temperature ever recorded by any weather station in Rome Italy, was 42°C on the 27th July 1841. A cursory internet search shows temperature reaching 40°C every other Summer. It would indicate the peak of warming was reached there in 1841. Long before everyone drove cars or flew in airplanes. How does this fit into the CO2 scaremongering? It does not!

JOHN CLAUSER, 2022 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER:

"I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency.
As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril.

Atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.
The policies government have been implementing are totally unnecessary and should be eliminated.
So far, [we] have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, and all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.
The dominant process, is “the cloud-sunlight-reflexivity thermostat mechanism.
Clouds are all bright white, and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.
Two-thirds of the Earth are ocean. The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth. The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%; about 50% over land and 75% over oceans.
I claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle."

🚨 TRIAL UPDATE: HENRY NOWAK – WHAT WE KNOW 🚨

Henry was only 18 — a first-year student, kind, full of life, loved by everyone who knew him. FOREVER 18.

He was walking home, unarmed, after a night out, when he was stabbed 4 times with a 21cm blade — one wound piercing his lung. He tried to run, crying out that he was dying.

IN COURT:
🔹 Vickrum Digwa (23) → charged with murder. Phone footage shows him saying “I am a bad man” just before the incident. Later found with Henry’s phone in his pocket.
🔹 Kiran Kaur (53) → charged with assisting an offender. Evidence shows she removed the murder weapon from the scene and hid it.

Both plead NOT GUILTY. They claim self-defence, and falsely describe Henry as drunk, aggressive, and racist.

BUT NEWS REPORTS & EVIDENCE PROVE THE TRUTH:

✅ Witnesses, video footage, and forensics confirm: Henry was calm, posed no threat, and had no weapon.
✅ Digwa chased Henry after stabbing him — proving he was not acting in defence.
✅ Medical reports: The injuries were catastrophic — he had no chance of survival.

💔 TWO TIMES HE WAS FAILED 💔

1️⃣ First — by the violence:
His life was stolen in a brutal, unprovoked attack. He did absolutely nothing to deserve it.

2️⃣ Then — by the system:
When police arrived, they believed their version instantly. Henry lay bleeding to death on the pavement… and THEY PUT HANDCUFFS ON HIM. Treated like a criminal, while those responsible stood free. He died there, still restrained.

It took weeks of public pressure and new evidence before arrests were finally made.

Two failures. One innocent boy lost.

We will never let them drag his name through the mud. The facts are clear. The only possible verdict is GUILTY.

Rest in peace, Henry. The truth is known — and it will stand 💔🕊🙏

If this was about “saving the climate,” they’d put the panels over every big box store, failing mall, brownfield, parking lot, and parking garage in the world.

It’s never been about the environment.

Commercial solar is a Trojan horse for the largest wealth transfer of our lifetimes.

Generational farmland is transitioning to multinational foreign corporations.

That was always the plan.

Please listen to this man!! 🙏🙏🙏

“I’m Iranian, yeah. I was born in Iran.

Islam was never a choice for Iranians when the Arabs conquered us.

If you don’t wanna convert, you either have to kill you or you’re gonna charge you jizya.

They weren’t even allowing us to speak our own language, which was Persian, Farsi.

They beheaded us. They killed us.

They sworded us.

They r*ped our women.

Not only that, they destroyed our cities.

Destroyed our libraries.

Destroyed our religion.

Destroyed everything that we had built thousands of years before even Islam existed.

It happened to many other countries in the Middle East and North Africa

We used to have, like a city like Rome. If not better.

When Muslims came, they destroyed everything.”

So I just think Islam is not compatible with the West.”

His words are a warning so take heed!! 👏
