Jury Trials: The Last Check on Authoritarian Power
The fact that the government intend to maintain jury trials only for murder, manslaughter and rape shows us that the government doesn’t care about these crimes. No, the government agenda is much more insidious: they want control over what we say and think. They want control over who is punished and who is not. TheContinue reading “Jury Trials: The Last Check on Authoritarian Power”

The UK Govt Loves Corporatism
The burdensome administrative task of recruiting members of the British Armed Forces has been outsourced to external companies, led by Serco (who appear to be the favoured partner of the UK Govt in every endeavour these days).

20 years ago the 2 main points of concern facing a British adult were: 1) The Budget and… 2) whether the Bank of England was going to raise or lower interest rates.

A Black Pill Predicts
There is no coming back from this journey we’re on. Even if we were to avoid all the totalitarian traps that have been set for us – the digital ids; the CBDCs; the social credit system; the vaxx mandates; the 15 minutes cities; the censorship that will protect us from ‘disinformation’; the Net Zero; theContinue reading “A Black Pill Predicts”
The ‘Greater Good’ Is The Psychopath’s Fever-Dream
