Britain built the world's first programmable electronic computer. 🇬🇧
Not in a university. In a Post Office.
Watch the full story. 🎥
Tommy Flowers was a bricklayer's son from the East End. There was no money for university. So he went to evening classes, year after year. 📚
In the war, Hitler sent his most secret orders by teleprinter. Scrambled by a machine even more complex than Enigma. Breaking one message by hand took weeks. ⏳
Tommy had a better idea. A machine built from fifteen hundred glass valves. The experts said they'd never last. One senior codebreaker wanted him taken off the work for "squandering good valves". 🙄
Bletchley wouldn't back him. So he put in some of his own money. 💷
Eleven months later, Colossus read the enemy's messages at five thousand letters a second. Weeks became hours. ⚡
On 1 June 1944, five days before D-Day, a bigger Colossus went to work. It showed Hitler had swallowed the bait. He still expected the landings at Calais. 🎯
After the war, the machines were broken up. Every drawing was burnt. 🔥
The government gave Tommy a thousand pounds. It didn't cover what he'd spent himself.
He still shared it with his team. The Bank of England turned down his loan for another one.
They didn't believe it could work... He couldn't tell them he'd already built ten. 🤐
Everyone's heard of Silicon Valley. Hardly anyone has heard of Dollis Hill. 📍
Today a rebuilt Colossus runs again at Bletchley Park. You can stand beside it and hear it. 🏛️
Now we're told this country can't build anything any more. Tommy proved them wrong once.

Why the fear ? Why would Aliens ever want to invade Earth for our resources ? They are far more powerful and have technology far more advanced. They choose to study us , soul advancement 🩷
How come when you go further back than just 80 years ago, there are so many world maps that depict the Earth as a flat, circular plane, with Antarctica as a wall around the edge rather than a patch of ice on the bottom of a ball?
Were they all just big dummies back then, who lacked the incredible mindpower of Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy telling them what to believe on their TVs?
The modern Science™ industry has TOTALLY gained our trust and proved that they always tell us the truth about everything, so we should completely believe their mossad-written textbooks and CGI cartoons over thousands of years of ancestral geocentrism, right??

British farming is on the brink of total collapse, and I am utterly fed up of the champions league bullshitting we get from politicians and civil servants.
I outlined to the head of DEFRA exactly why SO many farmers are SO furious with how we are being treated.
Yemen says they would rather die on their feet than live on their knees.
I can respect that.
That also makes them dangerous, because they don't give a flying fuck.

Not that a British ship did it in 1866. 🇬🇧
Watch the full story. 🎥
When Abraham Lincoln was shot, London didn’t find out for twelve days. ⏳
An American called Cyrus Field dreamed of a wire under the ocean.
But nobody in America could make it. Only Britain could. 🇬🇧🏭
Two warships tried to lay it. HMS Agamemnon and USS Niagara. 🚢
It snapped. It broke. Again and again. 💔
In August 1858 it finally held. America went wild. 🎆
Three weeks later the cable was dead.
For seven years the ocean stayed silent. Then Britain took it on. 🇬🇧
A new cable from Greenwich.
The only ship on earth big enough to carry it: Brunel’s giant, the Great Eastern. ⚓
In 1865, twelve hundred miles out, the cable snapped.
It sank more than two miles down. 🌊
Most people would have given up…
They made another cable instead. 💪
July 1866. Heart’s Content, Newfoundland.
Britain and America were joined. News that took twelve days now took minutes. ⚡
But the job wasn’t finished.
They went back for the cable they’d lost. Two and a half miles down. Nearly thirty attempts. 🪝
Then the spot of light moved.
The cable was alive. ✨
The wharf is still there in Greenwich. The house on it is a pub now.
You can drink a pint where the world was wired. 🍺
We come from people who go back for it. 🇬🇧

History from first hand sources are the best place to start when in search of the truth.
"The wars of the Jews" written by Josephus
You can find it on Amazon.
Written in 73-75 ad I believe by someone who was there.
It's a good place to start to find out how we got here.
What happens if you try to land on Jupiter? There’s no solid surface—only crushing pressure, extreme heat, metallic hydrogen, and a mysterious fuzzy core hidden deep inside the giant planet.
