Oh Elon you silly man, “cis” is not slur, it’s a word invented to cement the pretence that the choice between remaining physically intact as a male or female and self mutilation is somehow normal, like deciding which football team to support. Censoring it will do nothing but harm. Let the evil loonies speak and show us their true colours.
Given that “cis” is the default, or natural, state of affairs there should be no need to use it,just I don’t feel the need to identify as human given that any sensible person takes this as a given. Trying to rid language of the term “cis” could have benefits as there’s a risk that carrying on using it could lead people to think that cis and trans have equal standing or are equally valid.
I would love to see it eliminated but censorship isn’t the answer
‘Cis-‘ is a bit more than that, although I agree with you in principle we shouldn’t ban problematic words
The blah..
No, he’s right. See my post above
I don’t know how but I agree with you all!! LOL!
Cis is a non word as far as I can see, and has no meaning. The vast majority of the population of the world is plain male and female…so I can see how annoying it is to have this purely politically motivated word tacked on….and certainly I wouldn’t allow anyone to call me it to my face….
….on the other hand it’s such a silly nonsense, I can see how banning it might prove fruitless…
I suppose ultimately my worry isn’t for us here..It’s young people being fed this diet of stupidity who might think it has some legitimacy….?
The Romans referred to Transalpine (far side of the Alps) Gauls and Cisalpine (this side of the Alps) Gauls.
It may be intended as a slur some or all of the time, but I think the word is much more sinister than that. Censorship is not the answer.
‘cis’ was largely introduced by trans activists and when applied to females the intent is intended to be vague negative. ‘cis’ is not a term heard / used within the real trans community.
I will take your word for it. I’m a big believer in letting extremists expose themselves for what they really are.
New 7min interview with Dr McCullough talking about the jabs, the bio-pharmaceutical complex and how nobody will debate him on the alleged safety and efficacy of the death shots.

Agree with Jordan. If we’d never had the PCR obsession, which resulted in an obvious ”casedemic”, doctors would have just treat this ”Covid 19” like they have the flu for donkey’s years. When you go on symptoms alone an ”Influenza like illness” is all it presented as, and we have the mortality data from 2020 to prove that it was nothing special. ”We witnessed the fastest roll up of power in human history, all based on the premise that there was something novel when no such novel situation existed, other than the claim that the virus was novel, but no novel actions were needed. The best explanation for covid is that it was just the flu (not in virological terms but in how the annual respiratory season is understood), repackaged to appear much scarier. Trillions of dollars in waste and fraud, and billions of damaged lives later, I suppose you can say that the mission was accomplished, but at a devastating toll to humanity. It’s worth remembering this when watching all of the geopolitical noise over the lab leak debate. A flu-like virus was not responsible for wrecking society and sending millions into poverty and famine. No, that was the… Read more »
Dr Mike Yeadon has been making the above case for some considerable time.
Agree and we must keep asking questions about the continuing narrative and diversions to stop people uncovering the full history of lies and scams. For a deeper dive I find JJ Couey’s analysis (Gigaohm Biological) really fascinating and wish more people would pick up on his revelations about the science underpinning virology and how we’ve been sidetracked into thinking RNA viruses can cause pandemics, that antibodies are markers of immunity, etc. His latest presentation to “Denmark” summarises his ideas and is very accessible and well worth studying.
What is the definition of “ultra-processed food”? Soy milk and vegan meat would seem obviously to be so, but do they include Worcestershire Sauce, pickled cabbage and biltong? Or just fresh beefburgers.
Anything with more than a handful of ingredients, especially those that wouldn’t be found in your granny’s recipe book. Pickled cabbage should contain cabbage, salt and vinegar, plus the odd herb, therefore OK. Look at the ingredients on a Ben and Jerry’s icecream, mostly water and various chemistry lab substances, therefore ultra processed. Proper icecream should only be made of cream, which is stirred as it’s freezing to prevent crystals forming!
Biltong I would regard as regular food, an ancient way of preserving meat before refridgeration, the slimey cheap ham “formed” from slurry is not as it will have all sorts of stabilisers in there. Worcestershire sauce is anyone’s guess, depends if they use the same recipe from when it was first made!
Best to avoid anything in a packet and labelled “healthy”, “low-xyz” and so on. If in a packet, more than 3 ingredients should raise bells. However, things like white sugar and vegetable/seed oils should also be treated with great caution even if 100%! Do your research and buyer beware! Buy local and fresh where possible. Ask your supplier – look him/her in the eyes – regarding where stuff came from. Avoid supermarkets if you can. Grow your own!!
Up until maybe the 90s supermarkets sold so much sugar and flour the pallets were just put on the floor near the baking section. That was when the majority of people ate home prepared food, including cakes and puddings, and maybe took a spoon of sugar in tea. Nowadays there is a tiny tiny section of shelves that have sugar and flour on them. But apparently sugar consumption has increased? So where is it all, how are people consuming so much more? I presume it’s hidden in sauces, pre-prepped meals, soft drinks etc., people have no idea what they are consuming.
Yes. Most processed foods contain sugar and substitutes that make the food more palatable and play havoc on the digestive system and liver function. High fructose corn syrup and sugars in all but name (eg maltodextrin), refined starches, artificial sweeteners (eg aspartame), all tend to be absorbed quickly and/or disrupt your gut bacterial activity, along with refined starches, e.g. processed grains. Another problem is MSG and pesticide residues (glyphosate) in mass produced, processed foods. There’s no easy answer to eating healthily but sticking to unprocessed foods which you cook yourself, especially if you’re suffering from gut and fatigue issues. Eggs are my standby – a great source of nutrition if you can get them from someone you trust or keep your own chickens! Also if you crave sweet things, eat them (best is something healthy like ripe fruit) at the end of a meal to delay the impact and improve satiation. Learned that from Ivor and Gabor (Metabolic Duo)
Agree entirely.
Artificial sweeteners are going to be implicated in many, many damaging health issues in the coming years.
“Ask your supplier – look him/her in the eyes”
Oh that is a very clever and funny way of recycling the C1984 catchphrase:
Look him in the eye – ‘is this fresh muthaF….?”
😀😀😀👍
As a child my farming father would take me to livestock markets and many observations and lessons learnt are coming back to me after years of being brainwashed by the lure of advertising, group think and laziness of the intervening years.
The Conservative woman, which is always worth a read, has some great articles today…
..from Joseph Laredo’s letter…to the CDC and FDA…”Your ongoing decision to ignore many of the risks associated with mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, alongside your efforts to manipulate the public into thinking they are harmless, have resulted in deep distrust in the American health care system.’
..the Paula Jardine article in the round-up…Insight? No, the Sunday Times falls for US Covid propaganda
…and a good article from Rodney Atkinson..US collapse: Aggression abroad, decadence at home.….”The USA is threatening abroad and sick at home. Someone is murdered every 15 hours and 54 minutes in Chicago; you are more likely to be murdered in Chicago than die as a civilian in the Ukraine-Russia war.”
as they say, today is ‘all killer no filler’…

I post articles from TCW most days but they don’t seem to attract much traffic. In fact I get the impression this NR sees little traffic after dinner time.
My morning reading is a catch up on DS and then over to TCW and later in the day Off-G and UK Column and then a scout round my bookmarks: Technocracy News, Natural News, Lifesite, Global Research, Dr Mike Yeadon, and various links as they come up.
If I find info I believe worthy of sharing then I do so.
I give them some money but sadly don’t have time to read the articles. But they are great – and a very active comments section.
I feel the same, hux. I literally never visit here much beyond mid afternoon as it dies a death after lunch. It’s strange isn’t it, because it was this place which was a hive of activity in ‘days of yore’, and we’d be ”chatting” into the small hours like a lock-in, lol! How times have changed. But its precisely why I do so many off-territory dumps, because leaving miscellaneous stuff here after the morning rush is a waste of time. Just shove them wherever. 🙂
“precisely why I do so many off-territory dumps, because leaving miscellaneous stuff here after the morning rush is a waste of time. Just shove them wherever. 🙂”
I spotted what you were doing straight away Mogs and basically I followed your lead. Posting in NR after dinner is like trying to water a desert with an empty bucket. I must confess I do miss some of those late evening riffs although the 77 mob were a PIA.
I don’t use the word hero very often but Kathy Gyngell is one of mine.
Absolutely. What Kathy Gyngell has created is phenomenal. Mind you, fair play to Toby as well and we mustn’t forget the significant impact that the FSU has had on this country, and it’s growing.
“Britain wasn’t prepared for covid” … repeat after me, there was no £#$^ing pandemic! At best, it was a blindingly cataclysmic episode of groupthink and stupidity; at worst it was a manifestation of evil and a trigger for weapons grade levels of opportunism, greed and corruption. We need to take a long hard look at modern “healthcare”, as it seems to be anything but “care”, more a sophisticated modern form of torture. Torture that costs the taxpayer close to 50% of their labour, whilst 100s of thousands of grifters in the managerial classes of the NHS cream off most of the dosh. It beggars belief that in the 21st century interacting with the medical care system can be so soul destroying, frightening and humiliating for many. There is a mumsnet thread somewhere on women’s experience of healthcare, so many appalling instances reported it moves beyond “anecdotal” evidence. The covid jab debacle has at last opened many eyes to the damage caused in every cohort of babies through childhood vaccines, another example of “care” resulting in injury, with endless harrassment of parents for non-compliance. Top down massive organisations and power-seeking appear to be at the root of all evil. And “they”… Read more »

It’s all in RFK Jrs book on “The Real Anthony Fauci”. Reading it really opened my eyes. Watch his recent Joe Rogan interview for a reminder. Problem is it’s all so depressing. Most people, especially so-called “liberals” can’t take it in. Watch Pierre Kory talk to Bret Weinstein recently (Dark Horse podcast) on this problem.
Important we all stick together and find ways to keep opening up minds without going mad. Sadly a lot of ignorant people are probably beyond recovery having taken the jab and blindly hoping things will get better. Those of us who are willing to see what’s going on must stay strong and keep humanity alive.
“Important we all stick together and find ways to keep opening up minds without going mad.”
I have said a number of times that even our small contributions on here are a positive form of resistance. New people are joining and posting on here all the time. We must continue to research and post back here.
I’ve been quite passive for some time because I rarely catch up with the DS until I read the newsletter in the evening. It’s a pity that many good discussions in the comments sections get curtailed by the daily cycle. I’m prefer a good discussion and exchange of views, preferably face to face of course. Needless to say I’m not a fan of so-called social media.
Well it is good to see you back.👍
I have one friend who I see infrequently with whom I can discuss this war, just one. DS Is really the only place I can feel I am with friends / colleagues. Nobody in my social circle discusses what is going on and amongst family the subject is completely verboten. Drives me friggin mad.
I don’t know what I would have done without my sceptic husband. We’ve always been allergic to group think. We also have an active Standinthepark group locally for real conversation even if some of the topics are very challenging. Likewise most of our friends and family can’t cope with reality and choose to ignore what’s going on. I’m ever hopeful they will come round but fear the shock will be too much for them.
I have given up on the head-in-bucket crowd, including family. Idiots the lot of them.
I told my stepdaughter way back (she fell for this crap way back) that if she called me a CIS male, she was misgendering me. I’m MALE. Not CIS male. Taken aback, she got it…
I think it’s likely that overall we should eat less “ultra processed” food but I think we’ve had enough of the state poking its nose into private choices
I’m in the Caribbean at the moment. There are men who walk up and down the beach with “cute” animals trying to sell people the idea of having their picture taken with said animal. One of them has a monkey called Obama – one imagines named in tribute rather than anything else. So lots of white Americans (it’s 90% yanks here) will be posting holiday snaps on social media posing with a monkey called Obama. Hope for their sake nobody finds out!
Are you in Dominican Republic? When I was there there was loads of white older American men with *much* younger local women hanging off their arms. Bit vulgar but there you go. I remember people bothering me on the beach selling watches and bracelets while I was having some medicinal rum but never with animals in tow. Enjoy! 🙂
Yup we’re in the DR, same place as last year. They were one of the first countries to lift all Covid restrictions and let in the unvaxxed and untested. Ironically I am fairly sure I had Covid when I got here last year but the sun and the sambuca sorted it.
We’re in a self contained resort which is mainly couples so not seen any fraternising with locals but I dare say it goes on.
Me too. I’m in Grenada. It’s hurricane season so quiet. Not sure how it compares to DR but obviously a very small island and we’re staying in an apartment advertised on a well-known self-rental website. Ordinary people here were sceptical of Covid restrictions and jabs from the start. Middle classes are more brainwashed by US and western influence. Traditional values are strong. Consideration to elders and politeness prevail apart from a certain amount of road rage. Love the pace of life but not sure if I could live here permanently.
The DR has a reasonable economy but tourism is big – I think they made a conscious decision to favour the economy over “covid safety”. I’ve not asked about it but I can imagine the majority young and probably not that rich workers at the resort were too happy about losing their tips and potentially jobs with the closure of borders etc.
