Science You Fools

Reality & Life Life unfolds as an imposed game, its difficulty preset at birth: consciousness wired without consent, environments molding the unwitting, bodies and minds as unchosen vessels, eras dictating unseen scripts. In this arena, we navigate without maps, our essence etched by forces beyond volition. Yet, the cosmos harbors no intrinsic purpose; our flicker against the void is absurd, achievements dissolving into temporal dust, death the impartial erasure. This nihilism, however, liberates: in meaning's absence, we philosophize our own, through acts of will, we defy entropy, crafting identity from chaos. The "matrix" unveils not simulation but illusion: societal webs, patents hoarding wisdom, language chaining thought, regimes enforcing docility, chemicals dulling vitality ensnaring the soul. If humanity redirected fanaticism from trivia to truth, we'd birth a renaissance of sages, shattering chains of complacency. Existence demands eternal vigilance amid corruption's labyrinth: institutions, from dogma to medicine, engineered for subjugation, echoing Galen's enduring fallacies in modern malaise. They foster frailty to perpetuate control, rendering the masses malleable. Why decry this? Not for revolution's illusion, but as existential revolt, visceral scorn for betrayal, homage to the forsaken, proof of resilience in truth's pursuit. In voicing dissent, we sow philosophical seeds, transmuting despair into defiant purpose. Thus, life's essence emerges not given, but willed: in absurdity, we philosophize our salvation.

@JamesCleverly James, read question 310 and its answer from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Mandelson is Starmers boss…let that sink in. You have no idea the scale of pandora’s box that is about to be opened. They will advance the war with Ukraine and Russia before they let the inner workings of Mandelsons relationship with Epstein be exposed. This is governments blackmailing eachother.

@BBCNewsnight Its corruption not ‘failure’, always was, always has been. Starmer needs to be removed and investigated and Mandelson belongs in prison.

"A massive example of state failure" Labour MP Chris Curtis on the "astonishing" news that Lord Mandelson had failed security vetting for the role of US Ambassador, before this was overruled by the Foreign Office. #Newsnight

I’m calling it a pack of lies

Ex-DV here. DV vetting is a VERY SERIOUS business, it is conducted by the security services. It requires full personal disclosure (including potential compromising information) as a test of integrity (because they will found out either as lies by false disclosure or lies by omission). All Government agencies are involved, there are rigorous interviews. It takes weeks, personal disclosures are checked with a fine tooth comb, associates, family members, dates, times and places of travel to any country deemed a potential security threat. Exposures to PEPs, NGO's and GO's. It is not 'admin', it is a long, hard look into your character as you are going to be involved with the most sensitive of Government business and have access to sensitive information. There is NO WAY Mandelson would ever be approved even as a corpse. This has been a tissue of lies, and Starmer knew, he is likely to be DV cleared himself, he knows the process, he knows about Mandelson's character, he should have raised his own questions. Nope, he blithely and deliberately chose not to. Then, he lied about it. Starmer is unfit for office, and this time, we have the proof. This is a resignation matter, he compromised the national interests of Britain.

We need natural gas for fertilizer. I say this as a multi-discipline engineer, working on developing a solar & battery powered nitrogen capture device for farms, as a hobby.

Britain’s MoD has posted literally hundreds of times on X that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “unprovoked”. But funnily enough, declassified files show UK officials understood Nato expansion “would provoke Russians”. Me ⁦⁦@declassifiedUK⁩ declassifieduk.org/nato-expansion…

Just not at night.

Which one can supply the grid during a Dunkelflaute? That is what matters.

The only analysis worth watching on the Mandelson/Starmer saga is from @Lowkey0nline and @DoubleDownNews It is patently clear that Starmer must resign, he hasn’t a leg to stand on.

@JohnRentoul @CommonsForeign This photo shows Mandelson with DV vetting approved on Jan 14th - two weeks before he was cleared.

Epstein served Israel. Mandelson served Epstein. Starmer put Mandelson in the role despite being flagged as an Israeli asset. People will take the fall, it will be swept under the carpet by the regime. The faces will change but the regime will remain.

Peter Mandelson was denied developed vetting clearance in January 2025. That clearance exists for a reason. It covers access to top secret information: market-sensitive data, military plans, diplomatic cables. The people who assess it are professionals whose entire function is to identify exactly the kind of risk that Mandelson's file presented. They identified it. They recorded it. They said no. And then officials in the Foreign Office, under David Lammy as Foreign Secretary, reached for exceptional powers and sent him to Washington anyway.

@DeborahMeaden @CeeMacBee @grok explain the significance of nitrogen based fertilizer and what it is responsible for to Deborah please.

@CeeMacBee Neither does it feed innovation, creativity, alternative healthier farming methods… it feeds lazy backward looking and dirty. I’m for clean, creative, innovation and healthy.

Renewable electricity does not produce: petrol, diesel, bunker fuel, or jet fuel; it does not produce the feed stock for ammonia used to make fertilisers, or feedstocks for chemicals, pharmaceuticals or plastics; it does not produce bitumen, carbon fibres, armaments or ammunition; it does not produce the industrial heat needed to make cement, glass, aluminium, ceramics or steel. Claiming we shouldn't mine oil and gas in the UK because we won't be self sufficient is like suggesting we shouldn't produce any food because we won't be able to grow enough and would still need to import some. Caroline Lucas is NOT right.

It is both incredibly unfortunate and gravely concerning that the most senior official in @FCDOGovUK may have withheld information from the Foreign Secretary regarding the vetting of Lord Mandelson as the US Ambassador. 1/5

If Peter Mandelson's Due Diligence report raised so many Red Flags then surely you'd want to know EXACTLY what was in the Security Vetting report, you'd want to personally scrutinize every inch of it But not Keir Starmer apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️

David Lammy Must Also Go. Ministerial responsibility is not a complicated doctrine. It does not require proof of personal involvement. It does not require evidence that a minister gave a direct instruction or attended a specific meeting. It requires only this: that something of consequence happened in a minister's department, on a minister's watch, and that the minister is therefore accountable for it. Something of consequence happened in David Lammy's department. Foreign Office officials used exceptional powers to overrule the security services and grant developed vetting clearance to a man those services had explicitly declined to recommend. That decision was taken inside the Foreign Office. David Lammy was Foreign Secretary. The chain of accountability runs directly to his desk. He has two choices and neither is comfortable. Either he knew the override had taken place, in which case his silence while Keir Starmer told Parliament three times that due process had been followed makes him complicit in that deception. Or he did not know, in which case the most consequential and sensitive decision taken by his department in his tenure was made without his knowledge, which is a failure of ministerial oversight serious enough to warrant resignation on its own terms. There is no third option. No position from which Lammy emerges with his authority intact. Rachel Reeves, speaking in Washington, was careful to distance herself from the affair. Lammy has said nothing. That silence will not protect him. The doctrine that protects ministers from the routine decisions of their officials has never extended to the use of exceptional powers to override the security services on a matter of national sensitivity. This was not routine. Exceptional powers were invoked. Exceptional accountability follows. The Security Services said no. Someone in the Foreign Office said yes. David Lammy was in charge of the Foreign Office. In any serious political culture, that sentence ends his tenure. He should resign.

Mandelson should be in police custody awaiting trial and Starmer should resign in disgrace. It's the only fair conclusion.
