.@zarahussain999, the far right card. Every time. Without fail. A man is nearly beheaded on a residential street in Belfast and within hours the story becomes about the far right.
A Sudanese national, granted leave to remain, pinned a man to the ground and stabbed him repeatedly in the face, eyes and neck. A member of the public stopped it with a hurling stick. That is where this started. Not with protesters. Not with the far right. With a man who should not have been in that community, in that country, given leave to remain by a system that admitted it had no trace of him on any security database.
The burning of homes is wrong. That has been said. Now say this: the near murder of a man on a residential street is also wrong. The policy that put an unvetted Sudanese national in that neighbourhood without the community's knowledge or consent is also wrong. Three consecutive years of immigration-related disorder in Belfast is also wrong.
You feel unsafe. So does the man in hospital with stab wounds to his face and neck. So do the communities that have been told for years that their concerns are racism. So do the families who were not consulted before unvetted young men were dispersed into their streets.
The far right label is a silencing mechanism. It has been used to shut down this conversation for thirty years. Look where that has got us.
You want to know what obese people, depressed people, and pale people have in common?
‘’They’re all running the biological programs associated with the winter.’’
To exemplify this point, let me introduce you to Holly.
This is Holly, the Alaskan brown bear, and this is what Holly looks like in July. She’s lean, she’s energetic, fertile, she’s melanated.
Holly’s biology is running summer software, the program that gets turned on when UV light, warmth, and carbohydrates are abundant in her environment.
In contrast, this is what Holly looks like by the end of September. Her biology has shifted fully into hibernation mode. She’s fat, pale, infertile, and physiologically depressed.
And what are the cues that initiated this shift into the scarcity software of winter?
A decline in UV light, total daylight, and ambient temperatures.
The indoor-centric lifestyles of us modern humans are causing our wintertime software to be run year-round on hardware that was designed to experience the ebb and flow of nature.
You and I, we are not so different from Holly.
Obesity isn’t a failure of willpower. It’s the biological result of wintertime scarcity software being run perpetually over long periods of time.
Your environment can create your health, or it can create your disease.
At the end of the day, you’re the one who gets to decide.

The river is still there.
The beauty is still there. The birdsong is still there. The warmth of the morning light is landing on skin that is not currently attending to it because the mind has already left, upstream to a concern from last week, downstream to an appointment next month, anywhere but here.
And here is where the Kingdom is.
“The Kingdom of God does not come with observation. Behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.” — Luke 17:20-21
Within you. Present tense. Now. Not in the resolved future when the diagnosis improves or the justice arrives or the circumstances finally arrange themselves into something you can relax inside. The Kingdom is not waiting at the end of the road you are planning. It is present in the step you are currently taking.
Most of us spend enormous energy living in two places we cannot actually inhabit. The past, which is finished and unchangeable regardless of how many times we replay it. And the future, which has not arrived and will not be controlled by the amount of worry we invest in it today.
Meanwhile, the present moment, the only place where life is actually occurring, the only place where love can be felt or peace can be found or God can be met, passes by unattended.
“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” — Matthew 6:34
Jesus was not offering spiritual bypassing. He was offering a precise diagnosis of the exhaustion that comes from living perpetually in the wrong time zone, carrying yesterday’s weight and tomorrow’s fear into the only moment where neither can actually be addressed.
The freedom He pointed toward is not the freedom of solved problems.
It is the freedom of presence itself, the awareness that remains stable beneath the moving stream of thoughts, the steady ground that was never actually threatened by the things the mind was busy worrying about.
Thoughts come and go. Symptoms come and go. Fears come and go. Circumstances come and go.
Awareness remains.
And in that awareness, in the simple, faithful returning to this breath, this moment, this life that is actually happening right now, the Kingdom within becomes perceptible in a way that the future-chasing mind never quite allows.
“Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
Return to now.
This moment is where He is.
Mr. Mendenhall even wrote me a couple a days ago, and now he is gone. 😢
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of attorney Warner Mendenhall.
He was a true hero for medical freedom and a true advocate for the COVID injection injured, fighting with eloquence, class, and an unrelenting heart for the little guy when so few others would.
He tried with all his heart for all of the injured in the US.
He also always asks about the injured family member in all conversations. His heart was as big as the sea.
His kindness, his smile, and his infectious energy gave so many of us hope in the darkest times.
The world feels heavier without him, but his legacy of courage will live on in every battle we continue to fight.
May Warner Mendenhall rest in peace.
May God be with all who loved him.
This is such a sad time and a time of mourning for this entire community.
May God ease our pain and sorrows and then allow us to rise up stronger and continue the fight for freedom.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of attorney Warner Mendenhall.😔🙏
For the last five years I have been fighting for my life after one Moderna COVID vaccine on July 21, 2021 triggered a cytokine storm and unleashed a rare neuromuscular disease plus multi-system damage that has left me 80% bedridden.
Immediately after the vaccination I felt the poison in my body – and my life changed forever
An ongoing thread journal of my vaccine injury.🧵
Three days after the shot I was in the ICU, then spent six brutal weeks in the ER and hospital. What followed has been a living nightmare no one should ever have to endure.
I am now confined to my bedroom for over 23 months. I cannot work. I cannot drive. I cannot grocery shop. I cannot walk more than a quarter mile (most days far less). I have not left my house in three years. Eating takes an hour per meal because of severe dysphagia, constant choking sensation, esophagus and larynx spasms, jaw and face muscle wasting. Talking for more than a few minutes triggers chest tightness, breathing spasms, and stroke-like episodes. Breathing itself is compromised by a partially paralyzed diaphragm.
Every single day, without exception, I endure:
• Ischemic stroke-like attacks 2–4 times daily (esophageal/laryngeal spasms, hypercranial pressure, sinus swelling, occipital and trigeminal neuralgia that steal my breath)
• Whole-body neuropathic pain, ribcage nerve pain, muscle spasms, TMJ lock, electrical shocks through the face and skull
• Crushing mitochondrial/histamine-driven fatigue waves that force me horizontal within 2–3 hours of waking
• Instability, muscle weakness, sensation of falling even when seated
• Gut dysbiosis, vagus nerve dysfunction, food intolerances, and spontaneous disgorgement
I was once an Art Director in the movie and gaming industry, traveling to over 100 countries, running and walking miles in nature, living at the absolute peak of my physical and professional life. That life ended the day I was vaccinated.
I have seen over a dozen doctors. Most dismissed me as psychosomatic, paranoid schizophrenic, depressed, bipolar, or even “right-wing extremism.”
One diagnosis I sued and won to get removed from my record. A lumbar puncture meant to help only made me dramatically worse. I have spent over $60,000 on every treatment the vaccine-injured community has tried, apheresis, NAD infusions, immune therapies, ozone therapy, Maraviroc, ivermectin, supplements. none gave meaningful lasting relief. I have been completely off all medications and centralized treatments for over two years.
I became my own doctor. I turned to nature: sunlight (heliotherapy), grounding, circadian rhythm alignment, organic seasonal food, avoiding EMFs and artificial light. I study light biology, quantum medicine, psychology, and Scripture daily. My faith in God and the Christ within is what carries me when the body wants to quit.
Yet every winter my symptoms surge. Every cold month feels like the disease is progressing. Doctors, government, friends, and even some family have walked away. I understand, no one wants to carry a burden like this.
This is not a life. It is survival. But I am still here. Still hopeful. Still believing that healing is possible through God, nature, and the truth finally being told.
I am one of the countless vaccine-injured who have been denied, dismissed, and abandoned by the very systems that told us it was safe. Our stories are real. Our suffering is real. The silence must end.
I will keep speaking for every injured person who cannot. I will keep sharing the truth, the science, the faith, and the hope. because if we don’t, no one will.
To every vaccine-injured warrior reading this: you are not alone. Your pain is not imaginary. Your fight matters. We see you. We stand with you.
To everyone else: please listen. Please believe us. Please help us demand acknowledgment, proper study, real care, and justice.
God is not finished with us yet. Better days are coming, for all of us.
May God bless you. Peace be with you. 🙏
@AbraxasHudson@KennyCarmody Great story. I was one of the few rebels here in Germany. It was very lonely. I even went through the hospital experience deep in the crisis.
They WERE invited in by people who should not have invited them in.
No mandate for uncontrolled immigration has ever been given to a British government...
How come we are where we are?
We have BIG problems now, very BIG and DANGEROUS, deadly problems now...
🚨 THEY WANT YOU TO STAY CALM.
Good morning to the millions of everyday Brits waking up right now.
A Sudanese migrant travels through Paris and Dublin, claims asylum, and tries to butcher a man in the middle of a Belfast street.
And what is Keir Starmer's official response? He tells the British public to "stay calm." 🤡
They tell YOU not to share the video. They tell YOU to look the other way. Every single day innocent people are paying the price for their catastrophic open borders, and the Westminster elite have the absolute brass neck to lecture us about our tone.
They expect you to just put your head down and accept this managed decline as normal.
They are terrified of you waking up. Do not let them gaslight you into silence!
RT if you are absolutely sick of being told to stay calm while they destroy our country! 🇬🇧🔥
Two hives went into Dave's orchard corner this spring, and Keith, who has assessed and tested and dismantled every single thing on that farm, has assessed the bees exactly once and elected, for the first time in his life, to leave a thing entirely alone.
This is genuinely without precedent. Keith tests everything. He has eaten a latch, a pocket square, a set of water heater instructions, and the better part of Dave's left wellington. He climbs what cannot be climbed and opens what cannot be opened and investigates the world with a relentless prehensile curiosity that has cost Dave three hundred and eighty-seven pounds in gates. There is no object in his domain he has not, at some point, put his lips to in the spirit of enquiry.
He walked up to the hives on the first day. Dave watched from the yard with the specific dread of a man who has seen this goat approach things before. Keith stood in front of the nearest hive. He watched the entrance, the constant stream of bees coming and going, the low working hum of forty thousand individuals about their business. He brought his nose to within a sensible distance. He held there for a while, doing whatever calculation it is that goes on behind those rectangular eyes.
And then he stepped back, turned, and walked away to the bramble, and he has not gone near the hives since.
Dave's log: "He left the bees. I don't know what passed between Keith and the bees. Whatever it was, the bees won the negotiation without appearing to negotiate, which is the only time anything on this farm has managed it. I have not added a column. I am simply relieved."
There is a kind of intelligence that tests everything to find its limit. And there is a rarer kind that meets a thing humming with quiet collective purpose and recognises, without needing to be stung, that here at last is something better left to get on with its work.
Keith has both. The bees are fine. The bees were always going to be fine. Even Keith knows where the line is, and the line, it turns out, is forty thousand of anything, all agreeing.
This woman was recording a vocal performance when her cat interrupted, stepped in front of the camera, and started singing in the exact same tone like, 'Don't forget who's the real star here.'
“Traveling in a fried-out Kombi…”
“Where women glow and men plunder…”
“Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?” 🎶
1983. One song, a flute riff everyone recognizes, and the whole world was singing about Vegemite sandwiches. 🥪 😁
