THROWBACK THURSDAY: The Formidable Force of Fear
(Yes, I know it's Wednesday, but I like to be ahead of the curve...) Facebook just reminded me of the below post I wrote three years ago today, and I thought it was highly pertinent to share, in terms of illustrating exactly how the government and media foment fear to control populations (fear has always […]
The Proverbial Pigeons
It might seem an unlikely philosophical topic, but there's a pretty deep and meaningful meme about pigeons doing the rounds on Facebook at the moment. If you haven't seen it, it reads as follows: "My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad […]
Pro-natalist policies in the infertility age
It's not often that Nigel Farage would be dubbed more left-wing than Keir Starmer - or Kid Starver, as the UK's new PM has recently been re-christened by Corbynite party rebels - but on one particular issue, apparently he is: The two-child benefit cap. Introduced by David Cameron's Conservative government in 2015, this policy meant, […]
What event triggered World War I?
You may be forgiven for thinking you have just stumbled across this year's History GCSE paper, because this question remains one of the very few every schoolchild knows the answer to - and an answer we all remember, even decades after the fact. The answer being, of course: The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Ferdinand […]
America! The Movie (Screenplay by JD Vance)
Donald Trump - that is, the seasoned actor Donald Trump, with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - has announced his running mate, and it is none other than the celebrated Hollywood darling, James David "JD" Vance. We all already know who Mr. Vance is, because the star-studded Hollywood production, Hillbilly Elegy, based on his eponymous […]
How Donald Trump helped put the 'F' in Miri AF...
I have a lot to thank Donald Trump for. No, seriously (please keep reading...). Back in November 2016, I predicted that Donald Trump would win the Presidential elections, and that the idea it would "all be rigged for Hillary" was a psy-op to push more people to go out and vote for Trump. I said: […]
Old-school psy-ops and spurious soundbites...
Whenever I ask people, as I often do, what "government school" they went to, I get a funny look. "What?" They say, looking rather perplexed and slightly annoyed. "I didn't go to a 'government school'. I just went to a normal one." "What, a normal state school?" "Yeah." "And 'state' in this context means..?" A […]
Putting the NO in hypnosis...
"Stay home, save lives." "Hands, face, space." "The rule of six." These moronic, much-mocked mantras were ubiquitous throughout the panto plague (pantos generally being aimed at very young children, the scripting had to have a literacy level to match...), but these phrases weren't just stupid and condescending, they were far more sinister than that, as […]
YouTubal Ligation
Hi Miri Finch, Began the jaunty email with the all-too familiar logo, pertaining to a certain online video sharing platform. The email continued (although the jaunty theme rather deteriorated): We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines. Because of this, we have removed your channel from YouTube. "Severe violations"? […]
Soundbites versus substance
I have written to all five General Election candidates standing in my constituency of Huddersfield, asking them to clarify their stances on key issues. You can see my letter here. So far, I have received replies from the Green Party candidate, Andrew Cooper, the Reform party candidate, Susan Laird, and the Liberal Democrats (although not […]
