7. At TCW (blogrolls) … more on medical murder
”IN AN article on citizens’ assemblies on TCW in March, Gillian Dymond described them as ‘choreographed charades’. Readers may be interested in my experience as a member of a Citizens’ Jury, similar to an assembly, on assisted dying (AD) which the Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCOB), convened earlier this year.
It‘s not my intention here to describe the jury process in detail: an interim report published by NCOB on September 13 does that. Rather I want to offer my perspective as a participant and comment on various aspects of the process.
My involvement began on February 29, when a letter about the jury arrived. It was addressed ‘To the Resident’ and mine was one of 7,000 addresses selected at random. The jury was to consist of 30 people. Those willing to participate were asked to register on the website of the Sortition Foundation, which had been engaged to recruit jury members ensuring they were broadly representative of the population. I registered and it was here that I had my first surprise.
One of the questions sought my views on the jury topic itself, viz whether the law (in England) should be changed to permit AD.” ”
JH: Thin edge. Also, Citizens’ Juries … we looked at that during Brown’s Halcyon PMship … I quoted another who’d gone through the weaponised, rigged process where the “leader” is already chosen by Them and uses NLP and other techniques to steer the “discussion”
Traps for the unwary.
6. Interesting Columbus Day thought
… from a Gab a/c called Geiger Counter … could not possibly endorse the sentiment, more than our blog’sworth …
The “stolen land” people are simply low IQ with zero understanding of history or how the world works … America was not stolen. It was conquered. The Native Americans were not skipping through a meadow when Europeans arrived … They were savages. Tribes constantly at war, taking resources (and land!) from each other. They raided, raped, tortured and literally scalped each other. They were then conquered themselves by a people far more advanced in every quantifiable metric. The natives didn’t even have a common written language, let alone any concept of an advanced civilization. They were living thousands of years behind the rest of the world. America was conquered. The Natives lost. It resulted in the greatest country in human history.
The arguments are furthered here:

5. As in the US … so in France
Goes without saying that the EU is a giant, moneysucking toad across Europe to enrich highly placed communists … no benefit whatever to the people.
Le Pen’s lot win the election on FPTP, Macron refuses to stand down, cobbles together coalitions … the winner is arraigned on trumped up charges … voila the standard playbook.
