The CO2 tolerance story isn't wrong. But it's just one signal in a system that's far more interesting than anyone has told you. I call it a "myth" not because there is no truth to it, but because the notion that it's the only variable triggering the urge to breathe is absurd.

I note the BBC is reporting on its main page the third title of the new Gruffalo book, whether olive oil is good for gut health and an actor's attempt to learn a northern accent in the bath. Not a single word on our rape gang inquiry. Nothing. They jumped into action to discredit our inquiry last year and failed, being forced to issue an apology. Now the hearings have begun, and brave survivors are telling their stories for the first ever time? Total silence. You can't hate the BBC enough.

🚨 Want to ACTUALLY save the planet? We need to RAISE MORE COWS & EAT MORE BEEF. University of Nebraska study just proved: Cows are **CARBON NEGATIVE**. Through grazing, they drive grass growth that produces **MORE OXYGEN** than the methane & CO2 they emit.

Environmental groups: "Cattle destroy the planet!" Also environmental groups: "We need to rewild the Scottish Highlands!" What do they think lived there before? Unicorns? Wild aurochs, deer, and ruminants grazed those hills for millennia. Remove cattle, you get: - Bracken invasion (toxic, reduces biodiversity) - Scrub encroachment - Loss of habitat for ground-nesting birds - Tick population explosion Scottish Highlands tried "rewilding" by removing livestock. Within 5 years: Biodiversity crashed, had to reintroduce grazing. Cattle aren't disrupting nature. Cattle ARE nature. The land has been grazed for thousands of years. That's not the problem. Industrial monoculture crops on prime arable land with pesticides and synthetic fertiliser are the problem. But that doesn't fit the narrative.

This clever image captures Einstein’s theory of relativity in a simple, visual way a moving tram split into two realities. Outside, the world rushes by in a blur, while inside, everything feels still and calm. The difference isn’t in speed alone, but in perception each observer experiences motion differently depending on their frame of reference. Einstein’s insight was revolutionary: there’s no universal “rest” or “motion” in the universe everything is relative to the observer. Even time itself stretches or contracts depending on how fast you move through space. That’s why a clock inside a speeding spaceship would tick slower than one on Earth. By showing both sides of the tram, this image turns one of physics’ most complex theories into something beautifully simple motion and stillness, side by side, proving that perspective truly shapes reality.

Tax. We’ve all become so used to it, we forget how much we’re actually paying. It is relentless, even beyond death. And for what? If we had a semblance of functioning public services, I could maybe stomach it. But we don’t, so what are we actually paying all of this money for? We are subject to Scandinavian levels of tax for third-world levels of competence - what a toilet deal. Earn a salary. Income tax, a fifth gone before we’ve even started. National insurance, more on top of that. What for? A ‘world-class’ health service? The NHS? Ha. Good luck. Even getting to work costs - taxes on buying a car, running a car, insuring a car. Vast amount of road tax. Is that being well spent? Unless you want potholes you can paddle in, the answer is no. A road network built for half the amount of cars. How’s that going? It takes twice as long to get anywhere. Fuel duty and tax on insurance - whack that on top too. Congestion charges, tolls, fines and more. It goes on and on and on. Forget getting the train, that’ll cost twice as much and never runs on time - a season ticket into London costs thousands. Unaffordable. Yet the trains so often run empty? Maybe that system isn’t working… VAT on anything that moves - getting taxed to buy products/services, from already taxed money. Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. Then more tax. Did you go to university? Your ‘loan’ isn’t loan, it’s a tax. Interest is so sharp, you’re just paying that off each month. Hundreds gone, to pay for a sociology degree a decade ago. Ouch. Why are we saddling our youngsters with so much debt, with so much interest on top of that? Madness. Manage to put a few quid away to save? That gets taxed too - ISAs will be under attack in the budget. Profit made on successful investments, what happens? You guessed it. Tax. Somehow you’ve scrabbled a deposit together for a property. Well done. Paying half a million quid for a semi-detached? Not cheap. Stamp duty means you get slapped for thousands. Obviously first time buyer exemptions mean less and less as house prices soar. You’re in the house. Great news. Or so you thought. Council tax. Going up seemingly by 5% every year. Thousands of pounds a year. For what? To collect the bins? Really? Don’t forget the extra costs to have your garden waste removed. Brilliant. More insurance taxes, and of course VAT on any improvements you want to make. Bills soaring, with tax slapped onto every corner of it - green levies and the rest. How depressing. Time for a pint. Alcohol duty. Because of course. Why wouldn’t they throw extra tax on it? I’m not a smoker, but the same applies. Even holidays. Air passenger duty to put a few extra quid onto the price of a trip away. Just for good measure. You’re limping on through. Maybe you decide that starting your own business is the way to go? You get it up and running, starting to make a reasonable profit. Take a small salary - to pay for such luxuries as food and heating. As we know, that gets taxed. Alongside the costs. National Insurance. Business rates. Fees and licences. It is endless. What’s left after all that? A profit? Surely good news? Bang. Corporation tax. A big slice gone. After that, we can enjoy a handsome profit. Right? Nope. Dividend tax. With its brutal thresholds. What slivers you do take get taxed all over again when you want to actually buy something. Obviously. And the final kick in teeth. Inheritance tax. After everything, somehow, you’ve managed to put a reasonable amount of money away. After all that tax, you’ve succeeded in building a financial legacy to pass to your children - your business, and your own savings. Money you were taxed on the day you earned it, taxed when you saved it, taxed when you invested it, taxed to build your business. It gets taxed one final time. On both your personal savings, and also the value of your company. Even after death, it continues. What are we paying all this money for? Are our schools world-class? Borders secure? Police visible? NHS efficient? Economy thriving? Roads operational? No. No. No. No. No. No. NOTHING WORKS. Britain has the highest tax burden in most of our lifetimes, yet the worst services many of us have ever seen. If everything worked perfectly, there could maybe be an argument for such suffocating levels of tax. But it doesn’t, and hasn’t for decades, so there isn’t. When the taxpayers fail to fund this state monster of inefficiency and unaccountability, what do they do? QE. Print money. Creating inflation, devaluing our earnings and our savings. Yet one more tax. The people creating all of this, implementing all of this? £100k plus on the public sector, living in London. Comfortable salary, great pension, no job risk. Clueless about the real world. Maybe, just maybe, the current approach isn’t working. We need to urgently cut tax. Shrink government. Reward hard work. You just can’t tax a nation into prosperity. It never has worked, and it never will work. LEAVE OUR MONEY ALONE.

Thank you @A_J_Snowden
Important - four more signatures on our cross-party letter opposing Digital ID. Jim Allister MP, Carla Lockhart MP, Andrew Snowden MP, and Esther McVey MP. Thank you to everyone who has contacted their MP asking them to sign. It makes a difference. The momentum is with us - we must keep pushing. If MPs want to sign, please just get in touch... @JimAllister @carlalockhart @A_J_Snowden @EstherMcVey1

Waiting for my local MP @A_J_Snowden to officially confirm his position
I hope more MPs will join me in stating we will not comply with Digital ID. The British people need to stand up and say they will not accept it. MPs must lead.

I've had it confirmed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology that the Government is officially considering Digital ID. Looking at how it can 'help' 'bring benefits to people’s everyday lives.' We must say NO to Digital ID.

Before you pay someone to solve health issues, do this first. Get a piece of paper and write down the fundamental things you could do to improve your health, and implement these for 3 months. Here is a list to get you started: - Sleep consistently - Adequate sunlight - Block blue light at night - Whole foods (organic where possible) - Avoid processed food - Avoid obvious toxins - Avoid food sentivities - Varied diet - Walk more than you think is normal - Do something fun/adventurous once a week If you are still having issues, then it may be worth getting some specific input and testing done.

How Water Really Works in the Body: Dr. Gerald Pollack Redefines the Science of Life Dr. Kaufman’s Ultimate Detox Protocol ⇒ akmd.co/gerald-pollack-x Dr. Andrew Kaufman and Dr. Gerald Pollack expose the forbidden science of structured water (H₃O₂) the hidden force that drives blood flow, powers your cells, and fuels your energy. But here’s the danger: toxins, plastics, and pollutants are deliberately engineered to destroy this water structure inside you, leaving you weak, dependent, and profitable to Big Pharma. This FREE protocol shows you how to fight back — flushing out the poisons, rebuilding your cellular water, and reclaiming the energy that’s been stolen from you. They’ve told you water is just a “simple solvent,” a passive background player in biology. But nothing could be further from the truth… Mainstream science has ignored, silenced, and buried the true nature of water… and with it, the real source of life’s energy. In this groundbreaking episode of The True Health Report, Dr. Andrew Kaufman sits down with Dr. Gerald Pollack, the pioneer who uncovered the “fourth phase of water.” Together, they reveal how structured water carries electrical charge, fuels blood flow, and may be the real engine of human energy (not ATP). Suppressed, mocked, and underfunded, this research challenges everything we’ve been taught about biology, health, and energy. And yet, the implications are massive: from chronic illness to longevity, structured water may hold the key. What You’ll Learn: • Why everything you’ve been told about water is wrong • The shocking truth about how blood actually flows (hint: not just your heart) • How structured water (H₃O₂) acts as the body’s real “battery” • The role of infrared light in charging your cells (just like photosynthesis) • Why ATP is not the body’s true energy source (and what is) • How toxins, plastics, and poisons disrupt your body’s water structure • The hidden link between water, electrical charge, and disease • Practical ways to harness light, charge, and water for better health This episode gives you the science, the evidence, and the clarity the textbooks left out, so you can reclaim your health from a system built on outdated lies.

The obsession with “neutral” is NOT ideal for athletic training. Blocky. Out of balance. Less athletic. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T ROTATE. And I’m NOT referring to “twisting” the spine with shoulders level. The ignorance is beyond annoying. I’m talking about the SPINAL ENGINE. Figure 8’s move you great. Stiffening your spine in neutral to move better is sheer stupidity. (Did you fall for it?) The formula for moving your best is SIDE/SIDE/CENTER NOT Center/Center/Center. Locomotion is one foot at a time. Swinging, Throwing, Carrying are NEVER neutral spine (unless your trainer instructs you to move poorly - which in peer review is the norm). I guarantee Landmine University will become ubiquitous in S&C. It’s better carryover period. AND WE LOVE BILATERAL WORK TOO. Both Sides Utilized. SIDE/SIDE/CENTER makes CENTER STRONGEST. The competitive nature of sports keeps coaches, trainers & athletes HONEST when it comes to technique. And dishonest when it comes to drugs 😉 Once a NEW ATHLETIC ADVANTAGE is established — EVERYONE will avail themselves of it by NECESSITY (when it’s not illegal substances that are not for everyone). FOSBURY is case in point in terms of BIOMECHANICAL ADVANTAGE. Denied by the “experts” in his day - the COWARDS whose limbic crisis short circuited their brains. I like coaches who can beat the piss out of me (like Alex Kanellis here)… I respect them physically. And can LEARN from them. If a coach has trouble beating up the BOSU guy - that would make him a lame ass mofo who deserves zero respect isn’t that right stiff? 😉🤣 My athletic inadequacy is of no concern because my real gift is intellect and tenacity. Critical thinking paired with creative thinking I’m A . Honesty is another attribute I excel at. Listen to the logic.

There’s a real sense of anger that’s been brewing for a number of years. So instead of accusing people of being “far-right”, it’s time for our pompous media and politicians to listen and understand the concerns expressed by millions of people. It’s not “far right”. It’s fed up.

Been saying it for years...real health isn’t complicated, it’s been buried. The next wave isn’t tech, supplement maxing or tracking. It’s remembering what we already knew. I have a lot to talk about. More on this soon...
The biggest lie in wellness? That health is complicated. You don’t need a device to track your sleep, you need darkness and quiet. You don’t need AI to tell you what to eat, you need food that doesn’t come in a box. Simplicity is the revolution.

Mechanistic health wants you afraid of your body. Like it’s some glitchy machine waiting to fail. Vitalism sees the body as intelligent. Not perfect, but adaptive. Responsive. That’s not mystical. It’s just honest.
