The Online Safety Bill will set free speech & privacy back decades in the UK!
💪Defeating the legal but harmful clause was a huge win for us...
❌But plans to scan our conversations & give state-backing to Big Tech’s T&Cs will cement this Bill as a censor's charter.

‼️UN assembly meeting Sept 18-22, 2023
11 countries BROKE THE SILENCE so there will not be a unanimous consent of the draft political declarations on the SDG Summit, the High-level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, the High-level meeting on universal health coverage, and the High-level meeting on the fight against tuberculosis.
Those countries are Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Eritrea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Nicaragua, the Russian Federation, the Syrian Arab Republic, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe.
“The legitimate concerns of a large number of developing countries have been ignored. Hence, it is our duty to express our strong concerns on the unacceptable way in which this situation unfolded, running in clear contradiction with the spirit of multilateralism and the overall goal of “leaving no one behind”.
“Silence procedure” means that a draft resolution is circulated to Member States with a timeline to respond. If a country supports a resolution, it does nothing. If it opposes a resolution, it sends an email breaking silence. Just one such action stops the adoption of the resolution and could trigger an extension of time for revisions or to resolve the objections.
By breaking the silence above countries are pushing for more negotiations and at this time there will not be a unanimous consent in regard to the subjects above, including the pandemic preparedness and response.

Exclusive: American Citizen Journalist Sitting in Ukraine Prison, State Dept. Confirms, as Biden Begs for Billions More to Protect Ukrainian 'Freedom'
"While lawmakers on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. debate sending billions more in military aid to Ukraine, an American citizen journalist, Gonzalo Lira, is languishing in a Ukrainian prison on allegations of spreading Russian propaganda, throwing into question the status of free speech in the supposed democracy the Biden administration argues is worthy of more taxpayer dollars."

Nature Is Our Sister, Not Our Mother | Robert Barron | First Things
"Chesterton, the great English writer famously suggested that when men stop believing in God, they don’t start believing in nothing—they start believing in anything. The religious instinct in us is so great that, even if we do not worship the true God, we will always endeavor to worship something: our country, our culture, a political leader, our own will, etc. In the minds of many of the religiously disaffiliated today, the default deity is Nature itself—which brings them back to the classically pagan worldview. For the ancient Greeks and Romans, the gods were basically personifications of the natural necessities: earth, sky, fire, the sea, the death and rebirth of vegetation. If we consult the symbolic stories the ancients told about these capricious deities, we see how perceptive they were. The earth is beautiful, and lethal; the sky is lovely, and death can rain down from it; the sea is sometimes placid and alluring, and at other times, it will drown you without pity. The point is that Nature is wonderful, powerful, but finally indifferent to us. Therefore, when we move beyond appreciating and protecting Nature and begin to worship it, we place ourselves in the hands of a terrible and impersonal master."

The point of Bizarro World is to make the real world appear so chaotic, so dangerous, so uninhabitable, that we will happily give ourselves over to the Technocrats who promise to make it all better.
We are being presented with all these ways to be saved from reality. Don’t fall for the traps that technologies such as Web 3.0, VR, AR, ubiquitous 5G high-speed internet, Blockchain, Crypto, NFTs, and others are setting for you, along with remote work and online socialization, will make you freer. No, bitcoin will not save you. Sorry.
They’re making us believe we live in Bizarro World and no, we don’t need any superheroes to bring it back. We just need ordinary people to reject the lies and more and more people are doing this. We needed to remember that our greatest superpower, the one the Technocrats want us to think cannot be trusted, is Common Sense.
Just a small dose of Common Sense and Bizarro World is exposed for the ludicrous place that it is. Live free. Take back your lives. Live in the moment of enjoying a sunrise, a sunset, the sound of birds in the trees. The real colors of the mountains and the real sound of a waterfall. Not the enhanced fakery of virtual worlds. Get rid of any device that is attached to your person. Don’t rely on a machine to tell you how to think or what to eat or drink. Use your natural instincts. They are there for a reason. https://khmezek.substack.com/p/living-in-bizarro-world
