A primer here prepared by my colleague, friend and talented creative brain, Ella Smart, summarising the UK nexus to Proximal Origins, via Wellcome, Farrar, Rambaut, SAGE. The questions raised are serious, unaccounted for and have been completely sidestepped by the UK's £200m plus Covid Inquiry and its army of 150+ lawyers. With the sole exception of coverage from Sarah Knapton in The Telegraph (link below), the issues remain - as far as I am aware - largely unexplored across UK media.

UK experts helped shut down Covid lab leak theory - weeks after being told it might be true

Sir Patrick Vallance among scientists behind paper that stifled debate into the origins of the virus

"Top scientists including Sir Patrick Vallance were warned that Covid-19 could have evolved in laboratory animals, but collaborated in a paper which shut down the lab leak theory, it has emerged.

The paper, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2,” published in Nature Medicine in March 2020, argued that a natural spillover event caused the pandemic, and was hugely instrumental in stifling debate into the origins of the virus.

But newly released emails from early 2020 show that in the weeks before publication the authors held lengthy discussions with experts, including Sir Patrick and Sir Jeremy Farrar, the head of the Wellcome Trust.

In those discussions, experts were advised that the unusual features seen in Covid-19 could have evolved in animals in a lab, as well as in the wild.

They were also warned that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) had been carrying out research on bat-coronaviruses at worrying levels of biosecurity."

Is anybody asking the question of why British scientists were conspiring with US officials to hide man's role in the creation & release of the SARSCoV2 virus?

'Court documents reveal emails between a senior US health official and British scientist Peter Daszak, including plans to work “behind the scenes” to counter the theory that Covid leaked from a Wuhan laboratory.

Daszak also sent the official wine, thanking him for his “behind the scenes shenanigans” and promising further gifts.

WHO top scientist was 'collaborator' of Peter Daszak

"Jeremy Farrar — chief scientific officer of the World Health Organization and a central figure in efforts to suppress speculation about a possible lab origin of COVID-19 — collaborated on a viral discovery project in Southeast Asia involving Peter Daszak, a scientist at the center of that speculation, according to grant documents.

A 2010 National Institutes of Health grant proposal describes Farrar as the “primary collaborator” in Vietnam of a controversial organization that has come under scrutiny for its work on novel coronaviruses with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The organization was then called the Wildlife Trust, but would soon be renamed EcoHealth Alliance.

At the time of the 2010 grant proposal, Daszak was the president of the Wildlife Trust, while Farrar helmed the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where he had worked as a clinician since 1996.

The Oxford team was slated to ship its samples to a lab at Columbia University, not to Wuhan.

Still, the apparent connection between Farrar and Daszak – who faces possible debarment from U.S. tax dollars – could present a previously unknown conflict of interest on the pandemic origins question at the highest levels of the WHO"

🤔 Could one region’s defiance force UK gov’t to dump Palantir’s blood-spattered AI?

UK ministers are staring down a six-month countdown that could sever a $400 million-plus data deal with Palantir Technologies, reports Wired.

The government needs to decide whether to activate an early break clause - or lock the National Health Service into the genocide-coded behemoth’s blood-drenched arsenal until 2031.

Greater Manchester has become the unlikely flashpoint. Alone among England’s integrated care boards, it has repeatedly rejected Palantir’s Federated Data Platform (FDP).

👉 Instead, the region relies on its own Analytics and Data Science Platform, which officials insist is more flexible, more trusted by the public, and better suited to local needs.

That stance has handed ammunition to critics who argue the NHS should not deepen its dependence on the US surveillance-tech powerhouse that runs the Pentagon’s AI-driven ‘kill chain’.

Political pushback has intensified:

♦️ In June, the Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee declared that reliance on Palantir represents an “unacceptable point of weakness” and urged the government to exercise a February 2027 break clause in the contract

♦️ A second parliamentary committee echoed those calls the following month

♦️ London Mayor Sadiq Khan blocked a roughly $68.2 million police contract with Palantir, citing concerns about ethics in public procurement

♦️ Over 100 NHS data workers broke ranks to warn that patient privacy protections are inadequate

♦️ Amnesty International UK said a company “profiting from such grave human rights abuses should have no role in our health system”

♦️ The British Medical Association passed a resolution declaring the spy-tech juggernaut an unacceptable partner

RIVER OF FREEDOM film Japanese film poster, 2026

River of Freedom is a 2023 New Zealand feature documentary directed by Gaylene Barnes that documents the 23-day occupation of the Parliament grounds in Wellington during February and March 2022.

The film provides an inside look at the Convoy NZ protest, where thousands of citizens rallied against the government's mandatory vaccination requirements for the workforce.

The narrative covers the establishment of the "Freedom Village" on the Parliament lawn, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of the protesters and their interactions with Māori communities who welcomed them. It details the government's response, including Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's directive for politicians to ignore the protesters and the subsequent police clearance operation in March 2022, which the film depicts as a brutal dawn raid.

MISCARRIAGE RISK FOR C19 "VACCINE"

"Newly released messages show Fauci privately raising concerns in January 2021 that post-vaccination fever and inflammation ‘theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.’ Weeks later, Nobel laureate and mRNA technology co-creator Drew Weissman alerted Fauci to animal data showing mRNA-LNPs crossing the placenta and reaching the foetus. These findings did not establish harm, but they show important uncertainties were being discussed privately while pregnant women were being publicly reassured. The following month, Pfizer announced that it was commencing a clinical trial specifically in pregnant women.

In August 2022, Australian obstetrician and gynaecologist Luke McLindon presented findings from his own fertility clinic. Among his high-risk miscarriage patients, he reported a rate of 19.6 per cent in the 11 months before implementation of the vaccine guideline, rising to 48.4 per cent afterwards. The probability of observing a result this extreme due to chance alone is approximately 1 in 1,000."

NEW SCIENTIFIC STUDY PROVES RECENT WARMING IS DUE TO FEWER CLOUDS (ALBEDO) & NOT GREENHOUSE GASES!

"Our analysis revealed that the solar forcing (i.e., TSI and albedo changes) measured by CERES explain 100% of the observed global warming trend and 83% of the interannual GSAT variability over the past 24 years (Figure 9), including the extreme 2023 heat anomaly (Figure 10). Albedo changes were found to be by far the dominant GSAT driver, while TSI variations only played a minor, modulating role (Figure 11 and Figure 12). The sustained increase of sunlight absorption by the planet was also identified as the most likely driver of ocean warming in recent decades based on a high correlation (R2 = 0.8) between the shortwave radiation uptake and the mean annual temperature anomaly of the 0–100 m global oceanic layer (Figure 8).

These results suggest a lack of physical reality to both the anthropogenic radiative forcing attributed to rising greenhouse gases and the positive (amplifying) feedbacks hypothesized by the greenhouse theory and simulated by climate models. This is because any real forcing (or amplifying feedback) outside of the increased planetary uptake of solar radiation would have produced additional warming above and beyond the amount explained by changes in the planetary albedo and TSI. However, no such extra warming is observed in the available temperature records. Hence, the anthropogenic radiative forcing and associated positive feedbacks are likely model artifacts rather than real phenomena.“Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming — or global cooling.”

Archbishop Gallagher in Moscow: Diplomacy and dialogue in pursuit of peace - Vatican News

"Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary for Relations with States and International Organizations, is visiting the Russian capital from 24 to 28 August.During his mission to Moscow, he is scheduled to meet with officials of the Russian Federation, representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate, and members of the Catholic community.

The four days of intensive talks and meetings will combine the specifically diplomatic dimension of the visit with an ecclesial one, including encounters with the bishops and the Catholic community in the Russian Federation.This important mission will also have an ecumenical dimension, with meetings involving representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate.

The programme confirms the Holy See’s determination to continue along the path of dialogue, even during one of the most difficult periods for international relations worldwide."

HOW DOES SOLAR ACTIVITY INFLUENCE CLOUD FORMATION & CLIMATE CHANGE?

“Clouds are the Earth’s sunshade, and if cloud cover changes for any reason, you have global warming — or global cooling.” Roy Spencer, PhD

During solar minima, the sun’s magnetic field weakens and the outward pressure of the solar wind decreases. This allows more Cosmic Rays from deep space to penetrate our planet’s atmosphere.

These Cosmic Rays have been found to nucleate clouds [In meteorology, nucleation is the initial process where water vapor condenses into liquid droplets or deposits as ice, marking the formation of a cloud. (Svensmark et al)], with clouds known to play a crucial role in Earth’s climate system.

I don't think there are many things more evil than what Andy Burnham did today: when you see two huge armies killing thousands and thousands of people on either side, to go to one side and give more weapons, which will surely not only be matched but easily doubled by the other side.

I can think of very few things more evil than that, apart from doing the same when there is only one army and a small resistance group, which Burnham is also doing in another geographical location.

We are really talking about one of the most evil people on Earth. Like all the other Prime Ministers who preceded him of course. The entire system needs to be changed, and in my view the position of Prime Minister should be abolished, nobody should ever be given so much power. Not Andy Burnham, nor anybody else.

The director of the CIA is in Moscow at exactly the same time that the Vatican is in Moscow, and while Burnham is in Kiev. To some, this is a coincidence, others may deduce that none of this bodes very well for Britain. It could be the biggest geopolitical mistake by Burnham so far.

🇷🇺🇬🇧 Russia recalls ambassador from London after seven years

Russia has recalled Ambassador Andrei Kelin from the United Kingdom after seven years in the post, The Guardian reports. He left the country on July 21, and Moscow has not yet named a successor.

A Russian Embassy representative told the paper that relations with London have deteriorated to an "unprecedentedly low level."

The recall comes as the United Kingdom continues supplying strike drones to Ukraine — drones reported to have hit several Russian oil refineries.
