Has Saint Patrick had his day?



WIKI has this: "Patrick's father, Calpurnius, is described as a decurion (Senator and tax collector) of an unspecified Romano-British city, and as a deacon; his grandfather Potitus was a priest from Bonaven Tabernia.[31] However, Patrick's confession states he was not an active believer in his youth, and considered himself in that period to be "idle and callow".[32]
"According to the Confession of Saint Patrick, at the age of sixteen, he was captured by a group of Irish pirates, from his family's Villa at "Bannavem Taburniae".[33] They took him to Ireland where he was enslaved and held captive for six years. Patrick writes in the Confession[33] that the time he spent in captivity was critical to his spiritual development. He explains that the Lord had mercy on his youth and ignorance, and afforded him the opportunity to be forgiven his sins and to grow in his faith through prayer.
"The Dál Riata raiders who kidnapped him introduced him to the Irish culture that would define his life and reputation.[32] While in captivity, he worked as a shepherd and strengthened his relationship with God through prayer, eventually leading him to deepen his faith.[33]
"After six years of captivity, he heard a voice telling him that he would soon go home, and then that his ship was ready. Fleeing his master, he travelled to a port, two hundred miles away,[34] where he found a ship and with difficulty persuaded the captain to take him. After three days' sailing, they landed, presumably in Britain, and apparently all left the ship, walking for 28 days in a "wilderness" and becoming faint from hunger. Patrick's account of his escape from slavery and return home to Britain is recounted in his Declaration.[35] After Patrick prayed for sustenance, they encountered a herd of wild boar;[36] since this was shortly after Patrick had urged them to put their faith in God, his prestige in the group was greatly increased. After various adventures, he returned home to his family, now in his early twenties.[37] After returning home to Britain, Patrick continued to study Christianity.
Patrick recounts that he had a vision a few years after returning home:
"I saw a man coming, as it were from Ireland. His name was Victoricus, and he carried many letters, and he gave me one of them. I read the heading: "The Voice of the Irish". As I began the letter, I imagined in that moment that I heard the voice of those very people who were near the wood of Foclut, which is beside the western sea—and they cried out, as with one voice: "We appeal to you, holy servant boy, to come and walk among us."[38]"




I always find the biographical information - such as it is - regarding these historical figures, fascinating. It is the contrast between their current mythological status, influenced by hundreds of years of political history, and the original person, just making his way in the world, convinced of a spiritual mission. Cornwall is suffused with 'Saints' place names, the surviving remnant of a person, usually coming from Ireland. It was a veritable flood of immigration and new ideas! But what was the cultural ramifications, besides the later emergence of all those magnificent buildings we call churches? It was the gradual replacement of the celtic and pagan world view, with a christian one, that is now in turn is in obvious decline, replaced by a quasi 'scientific' and atheistic one. In some ways our philosophical and religious era may be viewed as a reversion to a pantheistic and pagan past, through the medium of Hollywood film and computer gaming. People still have a need for miraculous fantasy, whilst rejecting the concepts of God, or of a belief in the ability to connect directly with 'him' or 'it'. St. Patrick has morphed into a symbol of patriotic pride and 'Irishness', far removed from his original mission and context of bringing a novel Christian gospel to a society regarded as 'uncivilized' whether they were or not. It was a new way of interpreting the world and man's place in it. It offered a different explanation for life's trials and tribulations, a life after death, the story of Jesus, of love and forgiveness, from a very foreign and distant land and culture and all the phases of civilization that had gone before. It brought with it all the beliefs and rituals that secured the narrative that promised God's in-dwelling and miraculous spirit, changing sinners into saints in the process. A whole new Christian civilization flowed from it. What would England, Ireland and the rest of Europe have become without the influence of Patrick and all the thousands of other 'saints' is an interesting and unfathomable question. Perhaps Europe would have been India or China? (TTV)

A New Infectious Health Scare?




The Guardian newspaper reports on a worrying new new infectious disease in Japan. (Here: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/15/japan-streptococcal-infections-rise-details ) 

Apparently "Provisional figures released by the NIID recorded 941 cases of 'streptococcal toxic shock syndrome', or 'STSS', were reported last year. In the first two months of 2024, 378 cases have already been recorded, with infections identified in all but two of Japan’s 47 prefectures.While older people are considered at greater risk, the group A strain is leading to more deaths among patients under 50, according to NIID. Of the 65 people under 50 who were diagnosed with STSS between July and December in 2023, about a third, or 21, died." 

If I remember correctly from fifty years ago, we were familiar with S. pyogenes, causing pus-filled abscesses or 'pyaemia' in pigs! Of course the roll-out of the Corona virus vaccine does not feature as a possible causative factor in this latest Japanese outbreak, despite the fact that: "As of February 27, 2023, around 77.5 percent of the population in Japan received the second dose of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination. At the same time, approximately 68.4 percent of the population had a booster shot." As always, every cause but the obvious one!

What we do know from the reporting of adverse affects following application of one or other of the proprietary Covid vaccines, is that the medical responses are many and varied. In other words there is not one specific reaction or illness profile but a whole range of differing ones, that may even appear unconnected. Despite government denial, the picture of excess deaths, uniformly across nation states, following the introduction of the vaccine programme, can only be interpretted as causative. Note the deaths are predominantly not flu-related. The potential od the vaccine to promote other infections by reducing the body's immune response mechanism, is obviously a possibility that should be considered. Following the roll-out there was a parallel outbreak of Monkey Pox world wide that was highly suspicious.

What we have here is multiple, apparently unrelated, disease processes as a reaction to a single cause - i.e. the injection into the body of an artificial, man made, gene-integrating molecule, with the capacity to irrevocably alter the body's exquisity delicate protection systems, evidencing in a variety of ways, be they interference with muscle and particularly the heart, the process of blood clotting, immunological and allergic reactions to other pathogens or substances referred to as septic or anaphylactic shock. Given this diverse landscape, longer-term conditions such as cancer in all its manifestations cannot be ruled out, despite the causative link being unproven. I suggest it is a reasonable assumption.

There is a basic societal misunderstanding about the human relationship with bugs generally. Both for good and ill. We owe it to the discoveries of Pasteur, Cohn, Semmelweis, Koch and other pioneers of the 19th C. Cohn's system of classifying micro-organisms on the basis of their shape under the microscope, is still used to this day: thus 'cocci' - round, as distinct from 'bacilli' or rod shaped. Progressively lab identified microscopic organisms were linked with specific bodily signs, symptoms and outcome, labelled with 'disease' names.

The discoveries were helpful in a new approach to the causation and treatment of illness, but also contain within it a serious axiomatic flaw, related to our present attitude to bugs and the regime governments promote to control them. Fundamentally and adversely affected by the enormous commercial enterprise that has built up around them, vaccination, including its latest experimental entity, has become the uncontestable medical orthodoxy, which anyone challenges at their peril. Government and profession minds are closed to possible adverse effects or in seeking to understand them. It was demonstrated in the disgraceful treatment of Dr. Andrew Wakefield and even more apparent to those who warned about the Covid vaccines.

Modern approaches to disease control is an orthodoxy built on essentially three or four strands: protection from stressors; hygiene; vaccination; and antibiotics. All have a place in the modern approach to disease generally and infections in particular. All require interventions of one sort or another, either to the outer world or to the inner one of the human body. There is an on-going and dynamic relationship between the two. The more you load the human being with stressors, be they chemical, biological, physical or psycho-social, the more likely it is that 'dis-ease' or disease will result. Conversely, the healthier the body is and the less it is subject to foreign or injurious materials inserted into it, the less likely a disease will result.

This is essentially a philosophical position, but it has practical application that should inform both government policy and personal attitudes and choices. Some of the latter are within the individual's control but of course many are not, and are imposed on them whether they like it or not. Living in a war zone, as many currently are in Ukraine and Gaza is the ultimate example of this. It is a living and current illustration in its worst iteration of all I have said above. It is the ultimate manifestation of detrimental environmental health.

But returning to the headline story, the point I wish to make, is that although the bacerial and viral origin of disease has its place in the modern world, the philosophical approach to it requires modification. We need to accept that although certain bugs, such as those that cause anthrax, smallpox, typhoid and TB, just for example, are potentially very dangerous and life-threatening, they should never be considered in isolation from the multiplicity of other factors that are involved in the disease process and that there should be a more nuanced approach should be adopted to their control.

Vaccination of everyone, as a 'one fits all' solution, needs to be modified, to vaccination 'as or when required'. Much more care needs to be taken into the pros and cons of vaccination, based on properly funded research into any apparent relationships between the various jabs and any ill-health out comes. There is currently a huge ideological barrier to such in the medical establishment, which urgently needs to be dismantled and expunged.




We need a much realistic view of micro-organisms and the the way they inter-react with human beings. There is a huge fascination with creating sterile conditions, continually being pushed by a huge industry that relies on it, but it is misplaced. We have to live with bugs. Indeed our lives and the whole biosphere relies for its existance on it. The last hundred years has seen the explosion in chemicals of one sort or another, designed to exterminate them, and we have witnessed the results both in nature and in life forms, including human ones.

In this context it is perhaps worth noting in a pinch of garden soil, about a gram in weight, live millions of bacteria, representing several thousand species and  most of them are still unknown to science!  Similarly only a tiny fraction of micro-organisms are pathogenic to man but that conversely some bugs that live happily in the human body, can if circumstances change, become dangerous. 

The animal gut is a veritable hive of beneficial bacterial activity that we disrupt at our peril. Anti-biotics were a discovery with near miraculous life saving properties, but they also disrupt natural gut flora and other regulatory systems. Their over prescription and use in both humans and animals has led to the well known problems of reduced efficacy. Outbreaks, such as the one above, take on a much more dangerous aura, if effective anti-biotics are unavailable.

The post scientific and microbiological era has undoubtedly borne benefits, particularly in the developed world of health and longevity. But it is not wholly or even mainly responsible for the improvements which lie in the arena of social and environmental areas. Work has become far less arduous and intrinsicly dangerous. Some unhealthy habis, such as smoking have decline. Cleanliness has become easier and more prevalent. Water, food and air generally less threatening. Medical interventions more successful. Even so illness still persists, and if NHS waiting lists are any indicator, the demand for treatment never longer. Something is obviously wrong here. For all our knowledge and investment, we don't appear to be getting any healthier. Or is it that we now demand remedies for the ills that were once seen as inevitable? Is the reason one of more ill health or expecting a cure for more trivial conditions? Perhaps it is a bit of both?

However in adopting the medical model of disease causation, specific causes for specific illnesses, we risk losing sight of the fact that combinations of circumstances may evidence themselves in a range of different out comes. For example obesity results from a range of physical and mental causes, and result in increased risk of a range of pathologies. Similarly individual and community health profiles result from a multi-factoral environment, all playing a part. We should start from the premise of recognising the body's innate ability to adapt to its environment and to regulate itself with a minimum of invasive techniques and procedures. From an early age, children should be taught these principles, so that they become habitual.  

We should do all within our power to reduce and irradicate harmful stressors, legal and illegal drugs being just one example and in every case of a bug-specific outbreak, in addition to identifying the bug, we should enquire what triggered it? In the Japanese case I have highlighted the foregoing vaccine rollout as a possibility, but the population has also been subject to enhanced radiation levels in air and food. Nor should intentional infection, either by default or design - apropos Wuhan - be ruled out.

But we should also be ever mindful of how health threats can be used by ill-defined controlling entities, referred to elsewhere on this blog as THE BLOB! , to induce fear and compliance. It joins all the others of 'global warming', 'net zero', 'Russian or Chinese threat'. The economic, social and health consequences of the covid madness should act as a warning. Infectious disease, such as the Streptococcal outbreak in Japan, should be responded to logically and sensibly, but never again in a mode of irrational panic.

Hampstead Hoax ?

The title of this Channel Four/Story Films film, leaves little to the imagination. Of course all these programmes - and I use the term advisedly - leave out the important constituents of the children's and mother's testimony. Expect another white-wash!



Children interviews:





It's interesting that this programme that stars an Ukrainian mother in Britain, is followed by another that is clearly anti-Russian. 

Watch Live: 20 Days in Mariupol



This is all sophisticated propaganda with clear attitudinal aims. Hopefully people will see through it. Thank you Channel 4, well known to be under the lash.





Delighted that Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax was picked up so favourably in the papers this weekend.

Thank you to Peter Beard and Story Films for backing this films from the earliest of days, and for all of your support and wisdom.

Thank you to Channel 4 and Shaminder Nahal for the trust you placed in me to tell this story.

Thanks to an incredible team who pulled out all the stops - especially Lorenzo Levrini and the genuis that is Mr Simon McMahon. Thanks to Ed Harcourt-Smith for leaning so fully in to the madness.

Huge thanks to the mums for standing up and speaking out for what’s right and the truth, and for so bravely telling your stories.

Please do tune in - Monday 11th March, Channel 4, 9pm - or catch up on All4.

EVENING STANDARD REVIEW (The 'flaws' are discussed - see below)

"Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax on Channel 4 review - a chilling warning tale
"Despite flaws, this gripping documentary is a reminder of just how dangerous conspiracy theories are." https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/tvfilm/accused-the-hampstead-paedophile-hoax-review-channel-4-b1144449.html
"Conspiracy theories are a defining feature of 21st century life. You are only ever a quick Google search away from a documentary linking Israel to 9/11, or articles claiming that Covid was created in a military lab in the US.

"But in recent years, discussions that were once confined to the dark corners of internet chatrooms have exploded into the political mainstream. Leaders on the far right speak of a shadowy “deep state” controlling global affairs, while as many as 16 per cent of Americans subscribe to the QAnon theory that Donald Trump is leading a war against a cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles."

"SABINE MCNEILL. A GERMAN CONTRIBUTOR IN THE FILM WHO WAS JAILED FOR INTERNET STALKING
CHANNEL 4"

"Conspiracy theorists are often opportunistic grifters. Some are in it for power; others are in it to make a small fortune spouting crackpot ideas to a gullible audience on YouTube or Rumble. But the most sinister are those like McNeill, for whom there can be no redemption or path back to reality: they genuinely believe every word they say."

"While the documentary does an excellent job of telling the four wronged women’s stories, Turner makes an unusual choice to dub the audio from her interviews with the real mothers onto the actors. Presumably, this was intended to increase the sense of authenticity, but it unfortunately produces a clunky mess and there are actors whose voices do not match their faces at all.

"The technique was also recently used in Apple TV’s The Enfield Haunting, where tapes from the 1970s were dubbed clumsily onto scenes played by actors. It feels like a gimmick more than something that adds value.

"Despite its flaws though, Accused: The Hampstead Paedophile Hoax is a compelling story, brilliantly told, and a chilling reminder that conspiracy theories are not just the harmless spoutings of lunatics on the margins of society."



Tim Veater
Eduard De Boer I caught it half way through. It's the second bite at the cherry by that company. It's purpose was clear from its title: the whole Hampstead thing was a big HOAX, the children were tortured to say what they did, the Hampstead parents were the victims of cruel harassment. As usual with careful editing this thesis was supported, all the people who took a stand were mad or bad. I too have and had serious reservations about some of the 'actors', both here and abroad, but nothing to shake my belief in the voracity of the childrens' testimony or the corrupt way it was handled. I have serious reservations behind the company and its motivation. It would be interesting to see who actually funds it just as it would be interesting to know who was actually behind 'Hoaxstead Research'. It doesn't take much imagination to think who might be. It fits a pattern of not too subtle rubbishing of reality and expunging the past. It is deeply disingenuous and manipulative, posing as the opposite. The State is determined to expunge all traces of these inconvenient truths. Richard D Hall is the latest target of television, media and sponsored individuals working together to prevent western narratives being challenged from 9/11 onwards. Assange is still incarcerated without charge. Alex Belfield was gaoled in much the same way as Sabine. All the 90's claims of a political paedophile ring have been debunked and the principal accuser gaoled for lying. See how the programme fits the government agenda of media control with perfect timing. The government message is that 'satanic' child abuse is pure fantasy, whilst being instrumental in the murder of untold thousands of children in at least two theatres of war, yet no one says what could be more 'satanic' than that.

Sabine Kurjo McNeill
Tim Veater "evil and/or foolish" - Thank You for reminding me of Anna Pauffley's formulation in her judgment. Jon Wedger recommends complaining to Ofcom which has to be done within 20 days.
Sabine Kurjo McNeill I am glad you survived your incarceration so well Sabine. The above film was obviously an unethical parody of a 'hatchet job', where sedulous editing can prove Stalin a saint or St Francis, a sinner. As I have said elsewhere, Richard D Hall is currently in the cross hairs for his work on the Manchester scam, using very similar techniques, although he had the good sense to refuse to cooperate with the BBC unless given an assurance he had editorial control over the content. Of course they refused and so did he, yet they still invaded his privacy to record an interview and interviened to disrupt his YouTube and other legitimate business activity. The media take on his case, the missing Nicola Bulley incident and the Hampstead one, all helpfully dovetail with Government plans and policy, as with this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68556914 and this https://www.gov.uk/.../a-guide-to-the-online-safety-bill.... I have always thought and argued, that the approach of the police, courts, government and media's to the Hampstead case, proves that its implications go far deeper and darker than even the alleged abuse of children.
