One of Britain's largest police forces is mandating "equity training" for officers, focusing on "white privilege", "micro-aggressions" and the distinction between "non-racist versus anti-racist."

The Telegraph reports that Thames Valley Police is putting officers through the training despite a tribunal last year finding that the force positively discriminated against white officers.

As we highlighted, the force appointed an Asian detective inspector without considering white officers for promotions.

Comment: Equality and diversity training is so 2020.

LUMA Energy said the blackout was triggered by a protection system failure and vegetation on a transmission line.

Approximately 47% of customers in Puerto Rico have had their power restored after an islandwide outage Wednesday that affected 1.4 million.

Power company LUMA said more than 689,000 customers have had power as of 8:45 a.m. Thursday.

The blackout that hit around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday also left more than 300,000 people without water, snarled traffic and caused businesses to close, all during Holy Week.

It was the second sweeping power outage to rock the island in less than four months, with the last one unfolding on New Year's Eve.

UK Catholics set to exceed Anglicans for first time since Reformation due to younger churchgoers

Catholics are on course to outnumber Anglicans in Britain, with the growth spearheaded by younger churchgoers who outnumber their Anglican brethren by more than two to one, a report by the Bible Society reveals.

A "quiet revival" in UK Catholicism appears to be occurring, especially among those age groups referred to as Generation Z and younger Millennials, reports The Times of London, while noting that Catholics are rapidly catching up with Anglican numbers across all age groups.

It means that Catholicism could soon overtake Anglicanism to become the country's largest denomination of worshippers for the first time since the English Reformation initiated by King Henry VIII in 1527. Anglicans could even slip into third place behind Pentecostals among churchgoers aged under 35 years of age.

"Our report does not challenge the well-established fact that fewer people in England and Wales are choosing to identify as Christian," Dr Rhiannon McAleer, director of research at the Bible Society, said. "However, it is the first large-scale study to concentrate not on self-declared Christian identity but on actual Christian practice. By this measurement, the Church is in an exciting period of growth and change."

Comment: In times of uncertainty, people gravitate towards institutions with clear behavioral expectations, a moral exoskeleton so to speak, whether for good or ill. Even the craziest LGBTQ++GJXF groups have codes they enforce. Fortunately this impulse seems to be weighted towards long-standing, traditional institutions.

Those lost, confused and searching could do worse than the Christian faith.

While the Anthonys get to go home to their ankle-braceleted son, the Metcalf family is mourning the loss of their beloved son and brother.

Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death by Karmelo Anthony at a Frisco, Texas high school track meet, April 2, 2025
There once was a time when bringing a deadly weapon to a school-sanctioned event would get a kid and maybe even his parents charged and convicted for failing to prevent or stop such recklessness.

The parents of 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, who brought a knife to a multi-school track meet in Frisco, Texas, and allegedly used it to fatally stab another student, however, aren't on the hook for his actions. Far from it. Instead, Anthony's family successfully fundraised hundreds of thousands of dollars off of his alleged crime and the claim that "the narrative being spread is false, unjust, and harmful."

Texas law prohibits knives with blades more than 5 1/2 inches long at high school or UIL events. It's unclear exactly what type of knife Anthony allegedly used to stab Austin Metcalf. The blade was reportedly long enough and strong enough to fatally pierce the heart of a track athlete with one movement, which suggests it could have exceeded the prohibited length.

JK Rowling celebrates after UK Supreme Court rules that trans women are not legally women

"Harry Potter" author JK Rowling cheered the United Kingdom's supreme court ruling that found transgender women are not legally women — posting pictures of champagne glasses in celebration and praising the women who championed the case.

"Think I might be having a cigar later," Rowling, 59, wrote on X Wednesday, hours after the ruling was handed down.

"It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they've protected the rights of women and girls across the UK," Rowling wrote. "I'm so proud to know you."

The ruling found that the terms "woman" and "sex" included in the nation's 2010 Equality Act "refer to a biological woman and biological sex" — and not to the social definition of gender, which can be adopted by the individual.

It was brought to the court by a group of Scottish activists after the requirements for the country's parliament were adjusted to require 50% of its representation be women — but allowed transgender women with Gender Recognition Certificates legally calling them women to qualify.

Comment: JK Rowling has been trying for years to restore sanity in the UK. This must be a very satisfying victory for her and for all women in the UK.

Police chief says he wants to 'discriminate against white job applicants' so he can hire more ethnic minority officers

A police chief has said he wants to discriminate against white job applicants and hire more ethnic minority officers.

Chief Constable John Robins of West Yorkshire Police has consistently pushed to reform laws across the country in order to boost the number of ethnic minorities in his force.

Mr Robins, who has been an officer for West Yorkshire Police since 1990, was appointed as its chief in 2019 and has overseen the dramatic new changes to its recruitment policy in recent years.

The force, which is currently putting applications from white Brits on hold, said it is accepting them 'all year round' from 'under-represented groups' such as black and Asian candidates.

One whistleblower who revealed the change in the hiring process said candidates from different backgrounds were being split into tiers, according to The Telegraph.

On Palm Sunday, Israel bombs the only Christian hospital in Gaza

Claiming it held a "command and control center used by Hamas," Israel chose Palm Sunday to bomb the only Christian hospital in war-shattered Gaza. It was also the last fully-functioning hospital in Gaza City. No casualties from the bombing per se were reported by Gaza's civil emergency service. However, a child who'd been hospitalized for a head wound died from "the rushed evacuation process," said the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, which runs the al Ahli Arab Hospital. The diocese is part of the Anglican Church.

Citing Gaza Civil Defense, Middle East Eye reports that the bombs resulted in "the destruction of the surgery building and the oxygen generation station for the intensive care units." St. Philip's Church was one of multiple nearby buildings that also suffered damage. The IDF attributed the low casualty count to its effort to "mitigate harm to civilians or to the hospital compound, including issuing advanced warnings in the area of the terror infrastructure, the use of precise munitions, and aerial surveillance."

A local journalist told BBC that the IDF called an emergency room doctor and urged the hospital's immediate evacuation, saying "You have only 20 minutes to leave." A previously-injured Khalil Bakr said he and his three wounded daughters -- two amputees and a third "full of platinum plates" -- managed to get out of the hospital just a couple minutes before destruction rained down.

Nothing says 'Safe and Effective' like destroying all the data from Australia's giant abandoned vaccine study

"Follow the science" they say, right up until they destroy it

In August 2021, as the masses were being coerced and cajoled into vaccinations, the government announced a gigantic long term study with 10,000 Australians that would run for five years. They promised they would include the vaccinated and unvaccinated, and generate 100,000 samples, and 11 million datapoints. No stone would be left unturned to make sure the vaccines were safe and effective. "The Science" was being used to reassure the people.

Less than two years later the data must have looked terrible, because they suddenly stopped the study. They muttered something about archiving the data until more funding was available. (Sure, sure). Now, they want to quietly destroy the data and make sure no one can ever use it, or find out the secrets it hides with an FOI application. The cost of the entire project was $20 million, a pitifully small fraction of the $18 billion we spent on Australia's Covid 19 treatment experiments, and it's nothing compared to the human cost of suffering involved. Now, we're trying to save a few dollars because the National Archives can't afford to buy another 8 Tb hard drive from Officeworks or spend 0.1% of the Covid budget renting a cool room in a warehouse. Does anyone believe these excuses any more?

Tell the children, "Government ScienceTM" is nothing more than a tool of persuasion and marketing. It's just a brand-name abused for profit and power.

A cynic might say those who set this study up did it purely for the purpose of "radiating confidence" in vaccines, and they never intended to finish it. But we know that if a miracle happened and the results had turned out well, they'd be running adverts, going on talkshows and sending a star recruit with a QoVax badge on a spaceflight with Katy Perry.

WHO rehearses deadly 'mammothpox' outbreak - Telegraph

An exercise by the UN agency earlier this month simulated an outbreak of a "fictional" virus spreading across the world

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently rehearsed a scenario in which an ancient virus lying dormant in the remains of a woolly mammoth caused a deadly global outbreak of "mammothpox," The Telegraph has reported, citing documents about the exercise it had obtained.

The press release by the global health authority stated that earlier this month more than 15 countries took part in Exercise Polaris, which "simulated an outbreak of a fictional virus spreading across the world," aiming to test readiness for a new pandemic.

Comment:
1) In the WHO press release, there was 4 April 2025:
The two-day simulation, Exercise Polaris, tested WHO's Global Health Emergency Corps (GHEC), a framework designed to strengthen countries' emergency workforce, coordinate the deployment of surge teams and experts, and enhance collaboration between countries.

The exercise simulated an outbreak of a fictional virus spreading across the world.

Participating countries included Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ethiopia, Germany, Iraq, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mozambique, Nepal, Pakistan, Qatar, Somalia Uganda and Ukraine, with additional countries as observers. Each country participated through its national health emergency coordination structure and worked under real-life conditions to share information, align policies and activate their response.

Regional and global health agencies and organizations, including Africa CDC, European CDC, IFRC, IOM, UNICEF and established emergency networks such as the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, the Emergency Medical Teams initiative, Stand-by partners and the International Association of National Public Health Institutes, worked together to support country-led responses. More than 350 health emergency experts connected globally through this exercise.

"This exercise proves that when countries lead and partners connect, the world is better prepared," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. "No country can face the next pandemic alone. Exercise Polaris shows that global cooperation is not only possible - it is essential."
Exchange "global cooperation" with "global control", and the last quoted sentence might be closer to the intention.

2) As many commentators have noticed, there could be a precedence in Event 201, referred to in a number of previous SOTT articles. Event 201 was a pandemic simulation that preceded, the actual COVID response, by a few months.

The following articles are mostly selected based on whether "Event 201" appeared in the summary text. Together they may give an idea, but it does not mean that something real could not happen, including something more sinister, and perhaps of a more "natural origin" than COVID. 3) The name "Polaris Exercise" is interesting in its own right; Polaris is another name for he the current North Star. There was also Operation Stellar Polaris, a military operation during WWII.
Operation Stella Polaris was the cover name for an operation in which Finnish signals intelligence records, equipment and personnel were transported to Sweden in late September 1944 after the end of combat on the Finnish-Soviet front in World War II.
Something similar to Operation Stella Polaris might happen if Ukraine gets some peace this year, but that is a different issue. Among the participating nations, Canada and Denmark (with Greenland) are both stakeholders in the Arctic, which is probably just a coincidence.

Zionist supremacism and the murder of innocents

The brutal murder of eight Red Cross paramedics and five aid workers in Southern Gaza on March 23rd 2025 - each shot more than 20 times and then buried in a sandpit along with their vehicles - should be 'an event too far' for Israeli soldiers. The brave precedent for saying 'no' already having been set by colleagues refusing to follow the commands of the Israeli war cabinet.

This vile atrocity must have crossed the red line for these recruits, as well as seasoned soldiers of the Israeli army, if they are still to be considered human beings.

It has already been reported that a small but growing number of Israeli military have refused to engage against Palestinians in Gaza, demanding that Netanyahu stands by the terms of the hostage exchange negotiated with Hamas.

But this hostage exchange 'quid pro quo', as vital as it obviously is, is now joined by another critically important concern that must be addressed: are the soldiers carrying out these executions under the influence of a mind control program similar to that developed by MK Ultra in the USA in the 1950' and 60's?
