NHS website hides newspeak list of 'highly divisive' terms meant for staff training from public view after backlash over 'alphabet of woke'

The NHS' glossary of newspeak is not for the public
The NHS has hidden a bizarre glossary of terms relating to "equality, diversity and inclusion" behind a password-protected wall after it drew backlash on social media for imposing "highly divisive" concepts on health workers.

The draft document, titled 'Glossary A-Z', is hosted on the 'Our NHS People' website for staff. Before it was removed from public view over the weekend, the incomplete list was found to explore a range of ideas, from 'cultural appropriation' to 'intersectionality', 'white fragility' and even 'woke' itself.

Certain sections go beyond simple definitions of terms - moving into lengthy discussions of the nature of, for instance, 'allyship'.

Comment: What has any of this to do with the primary mandate of the NHS, which is to deliver health care? It pretty sure that someone suffering a heart attack, or bleeding out after a car accident, is probably not going to be picky about their pronouns, or care about the NHS' stance on intersectionality, or allyship. It's virtue-signalling through and through.

The NHS have been methodically gutted for years. This is just the latest blow. Heaven help the average British citizen. Some physicians have seen the light

Based Nigeria: African country schools US in how to handle Big Tech tyranny

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, December 18, 2020.
Nigeria is a far more serious and "based" country than the US, at least if President Muhammadu Buhari's response to Twitter censorship - compared to that of Donald Trump's - is anything to go by.

The government in Abuja announced on Friday it had "indefinitely suspended" the US-based platform, following Twitter's censorship of Buhari. The move was made because of "the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence," said Information Minister Lai Mohammed.

Nigeria's TV and press regulator, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), will also start the process of "licensing" all social media platforms in the country, the government said. In a twist of irony, the decision was announced on Twitter. Also, the ban doesn't appear to have gone into effect just yet, and Nigerians are reportedly flocking to virtual private networks to circumvent it.

The Nigerian government also missed an easy opportunity to clobber Twitter with its own wokeness cudgel and accuse CEO Jack Dorsey of being racist and Islamophobic - considering Buhari is both African and Muslim.

"This is a shot across the bow, we want the machines opened up", North Carolina House members request inspection of voting machines

NC Rep. Jeff McNeely
A group of North Carolina Republican lawmakers from the General Assembly want the State Board of Elections (SBOE) to give them some answers about the machines used to tabulate votes. The lawmakers want the machines opened and allow their own people investigate what happened in the 2020 Presidential election.

NC Rep. Jeff McNeely (Iredell) said about the SBOE, "We are just trying to see if there are any legs to the rumors we hear about ballots and machines, we want to know if there is anything that could have been changed by the machines, we gave them a deadline to get back to us."

McNeely is a member of the NC House Freedom Caucus and spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Friday about his concerns with the 2020 Presidential election.

"I believe the information in what we call the 'hand to eye audits' needs to be public, and we need to make sure those tallies match what the machines came up with, currently they are not public and they should be," McNeely said, asserting that North Carolina is a paper ballot state already, and if there was any major fraud it would show up with the ballot harvesting.

Comment: And from New Hampshire we read this:
Marylyn Todd, founder of the New Hampshire Voter Integrity Group, said she's discovered "smoking gun" proof of election fraud in New Hampshire.

On a live stream Thursday evening, Todd said she encountered something extremely problematic about the May 12 audit report from Harri Hursti, the electronic voting security expert leading the Windham audit.

Todd expressed how Hursti conveyed to her that he couldn't clear the counters and that instead, he had to reset the memory cards. Todd said this was confusing to her because she recalled he had a "clear counter" button the entire time, therefore there was no need to delete the memory card. She then stated that Hursti is on camera saying the computer needed to be registered for Nov. 3.

She went on to explain that Hursti appeared to reset the date to Nov. 5 before printing the report. Hursti's apparent actions coincide with Michigan attorney Matt Deperno's findings in Antrim County.

"We can now show that after the election is done, someone...anyone really, who has access to those tabulators, can reopen the election, run more ballots through the tabulator, print off new tabulator tape with a new balance and backdate that tape to Nov. 3," said Deperno.

Todd's discovery lends credence to statements made earlier in the week from Stanford researcher and election consultant Jovan Pulitzer. Pulitzer said that auditors who normally would certify bad machines as good machines, found something so glaring that they could not walk away from and that is exactly what happened in New Hampshire. "Imagine if 28 percent of the votes didn't get counted even though they went into the voting machines," pondered Pulitzer.

According to experts, isolated incidents like Antrim County and Windham could be a bellwether for broader election integrity problems throughout the state and beyond.

People gather at the site of the deadly train collision in Ghotki, Pakistan
Two express trains have collided in southern Pakistan, killing at least 38 passengers and injuring dozens of others as rescuers and villagers worked to pull trapped people out of the wreckage.

The collision in the early hours of Monday in the Ghotki district of the Sindh province happened after the coaches of one train, the Millat Express, derailed and fell across the opposite track, where it was hit by a second train, the Sir Syed Express.

Between 15 and 20 people are still trapped in the wreckage while authorities arrange heavy machinery to rescue passengers crying for help, senior district police official Umar Tufail told local media.

He said it was not immediately clear what caused the collision, adding: "Right now the challenge for us is to quickly rescue those passengers who are still trapped in the wreckage."

Rand Paul says he's getting daily DEATH THREATS for questioning Fauci

rand paul
Senator Rand Paul told Sean Hannity Friday that he is receiving death threats almost every day for daring to question the authority of Dr Anthony Fauci, as well as highlighting evidence that the coronavirus could have leaked from a Wuhan lab.

"This week, I've had five death threats just for being outspoken on it," Paul said, adding "I don't know what the world's coming to, you can't ask honest, difficult questions that in the end have proved out that Dr. Fauci was not being honest with us."

Paul continued "As a repercussion, my family had white powder sent to our house, and five death threats phoned in."

Did Amazon's 'white fragility' training lead worker to assault white woman for her 'white privilege'?

white woman assault amazon
In the midst of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos went before Congress to hail the "much-needed race reckoning" America was going through and reportedly hired Robin DiAngelo to teach employees about "white privilege" and "white fragility."

On Thursday, one of Amazon's employees who appears to have been hopped-up on just such anti-white propaganda was filmed viciously assaulting an elderly white woman after reportedly telling her to "check her white privilege."

Guess what American voters care about most, and want DC to act on (Survey)?

american voters
Guess what issue American voters care about the most and what action they demand from their elected officials in Washington?

If you said forever wars, Russian hackers, and China's human rights, you failed.

Instead, "protecting jobs for American workers" is on top-of-mind for voters. Reducing illegal immigration, long seen as a headwind for American blue-collar workers in certain sectors of the economy like construction work, was second.

Comment: It's hopeful that, even with the constant ramming-down-our-throats propaganda about climate change, Americans still care most about their jobs. At least they're not completely brainwashed.

It's working: Federal government and businesses offer perks in boosted effort to vaccinate 70% for COVID-19

Vaccine hesitancy rates have shown modest declines in the past month as more businesses introduce perks for getting the shots, a trend that has bolstered President Joe Biden's push to increase the national rate to 70% by the Fourth of July.

The United States has seen a shrinking rate of hesitancy surrounding vaccine safety. The proportion of the population that is unwilling to be vaccinated fell 3 percentage points on average from the week of April 26 through May 31, falling from 34% to 31%, according to new polling from Morning Consult.

Now, the Biden administration is ramping up efforts to boost national vaccination rates and encourage trust in the scientific research that went into developing the shots. The White House announced on Wednesday that June would be the "Month of Action" aimed at boosting incentives for people to get the COVID-19 shots after vaccination rates dipped in mid-April. The administration will also provide free childcare services to make it easier for parents and caretakers to get vaccinated. Biden also announced pharmacies would be open every Friday night this month to provide shots to those who want them around the clock.

Cuomo's daughter's coming-out is another chance for media to evangelize for LGBTQ agenda, cheer on favorite supposed victim class

Michaela Kennedy Cuomo in New York City.
The New York governor's daughter, whom almost no one has ever heard of, has revealed that she's "queer," and the mainstream media is so excited that it had to take a break from gun-grabbing and race-baiting to break the 'news'.

Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, the youngest daughter of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, told the world in an Instagram post on Thursday that she's bisexual. That's right. Just in time for Pride Month, the 23-year-old daughter of New York's alleged serial-groper-in-chief said she's "queer," and legacy media outlets ranging from NBC News to People Magazine and the Huffington Post pounced to tell her strong and brave story.

Kennedy-Cuomo came out of the gate powerfully, showing that she's more than ready to embrace and exploit all the victim points she can as the media-, government-, corporation-, academia- and Hollywood-celebrated offspring of New York's rich and powerful Cuomo political dynasty. If that's not enough, she descends from the powerful Kennedy political dynasty of Massachusetts on her mother's side.

Old normal vs new: From 1980s neoliberalism to the 'Great Reset'

bill gates reagan
Sold under the pretence of a quest for optimising well-being and 'happiness', capitalism thrives on the exploitation of peoples and the environment. What really matters is the strive to maintain viable profit margins.

The prevailing economic system demands ever-increasing levels of extraction, production and consumption and needs a certain level of annual GDP growth for large firms to make sufficient profit.

But at some point, markets become saturated, demand rates fall and overproduction and overaccumulation of capital becomes a problem. In response, we have seen credit markets expand and personal debt increase to maintain consumer demand as workers' wages have been squeezed, financial and real estate speculation rise (new investment markets), stock buybacks and massive bailouts and subsidies (public money to maintain the viability of private capital) and an expansion of militarism (a major driving force for many sectors of the economy).

We have also witnessed systems of production abroad being displaced for global corporations to then capture and expand markets in foreign countries.
