The Autistici/Inventati collective is shutting down and will soon discontinue all of their services:

'In a world where allegations are disconnected from reality, we can only expect repression to be increasingly disproportionate. Under these circumstances, we are no longer able to maintain our original mission - offering secure and non-commercial digital tools.'

"New PM Andy Burnham will be challenged on Thursday to drop the Government’s efforts to keep the ban on Palestine Action which has so far seen thousands arrested "

but sadly the website is giving me "429 Too Many Requests"

Just a coincidence, right?

@irina @EUCommission Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.

It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

Texas teachers are being forced to deadname transgender students under a new state law

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/politics/texas-teachers-deadname-transgender-students

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Government by the people means that the people have the right to do their own thinking and to do their own speaking about their public servants. They must speak truthfully and they must not be disloyal to the country, and it is their highest duty by truthful criticism to make and keep the public servants loyal to the country.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Essay (1918-04-06), “Citizens or Subjects?” Kansas City Star

Twenty years after 9/11, ARI warned that evading the *ideological* nature of the enemy—#Islamic #totalitarianism—and fighting self‑sacrificial wars would end in failure. From #Afghanistan to #FreeSpeech, the cost of evasion is now #history. Ideas matter.

It's curious that we can talk about various animals having higher sensory abilities. Yet. When we talk about people and what some call extra sensory abilities many upset themselves and say that's not real. People that say they experience those things are crazy or faking it or scamming people.

When in truth it's not extra sensory abilities. It's just sensory abilities. People that are not fully using their senses, that they do have, are the ones saying it's extra or crazy talk.

Knowledge and awareness is being hidden from the masses to keep them under control and the ignorant are the tools being used to keep the social narrative in check for those controlling the narrative of discourse.

There are plenty of false conspiracy theories out there. But there are actual conspiracies as well.

The open realities of reincarnation within the narrative discourse of society would upend class divides and the subjugation brought upon by the pecking orders of shallow minded nepotism.

#Reincarnation #Nepotism #PeckingOrder #RaiseTheNarrative #Discourse #Subjugation #Freedom #FreedomOfSpeech

I sometimes have issues with enunciating. When I was a little kid I had to take a speech class because some of my words came out pronounced oddly. Almost like it was a very heavy accent from somewhere else.

Later in life when I dealt more with memories, of what appears to be certain past lives I experience things from, I realized it was most likely what some would call a very deep Scottish brogue that still resides in me wanting expression.

There's so much more I could say...

#Reincarnation #Accent #Scotland #PastLives #Language #FreedomOfSpeech #RaiseTheNarrative #SocialDiscourse

Look and see, or don’t, what you want. But light is coming forward and more of us (which includes everyone) are awakening to truth.

It’s time to learn abilities of response to the light coming in, or deal with the ramifications of not having those responsibilities.
Shift, or the cosmic light will shift you off planet 🌎.

#RaiseTheNarrative #FreedomOfSpeech #StandUp

Most of this life I have felt like others wanted me to shut up and sit down. That in my case children like me shouldn’t be heard or truly seen.

I shouldn’t upset people’s senses of where their at. As if I’m the one that’s responsible for where they are at.

I saw much of my life and world events ahead as a child in visions. Yet the narrative of society refuses to allow that conversation. Instead the narrative of discourse of society dismisses truth and those that are bold enough to speak for it.
I don’t say that as if: look at me or listen to me.

I say it as: those of us who see have a right to be present. We have a right to be at the table. We have a right to speak truth. We have a responsibility, an ability of response, to look out for each other.

#RaiseTheNarrative #FreedomOfSpeech #StandUp

It's curious to me that people find it easier to believe a child who remembers being a "regular person" in a past life. But when a child remembers a past life where they were someone "famous" people have a harder time believing it to be true.

Is this due to those peoples own issues of self worth?

Even more curious since our worth comes from beyond our selves - our worth comes from our connection to our souls and all that is.

#PastLives #Reincarnation #Spirit #SpiritualConsciousness #Freedom #RaiseTheNarrative #RaiseVoices #FreedomOfSpeech

This makes me think of all the stories about #EdgarCayce and how he used to be able to put a book under his pillow and fall asleep and he would absorb the contents while asleep. He was called the sleeping prophet after all.

The experience of life is so very different than the domesticated entrainment that is thrown at us from those who control the narrative of discourse of society.

I just got my copy of Spare. It’s pretty interesting the depth of what I’m sensing from just having the book in front of me. I’m going to have to read a bit today. First I need to process just having it next to me. As weird as that may sound to some people. I was thinking of reading it on my flight to Sedona on Sunday morning but not sure if I want to read it around others if I’m already feeling what I am.

#freedomofspeech #raisethenarrative #socialdiscourse #princeharry #spare

One of the reasons I follow & care about what happens to Prince Harry is because I saw in a vision Princess Dianna's death the Sunday before it happened.

Yes. These are actual realities people deal with.

One of the other reasons is that I am a compassionate person & care about others well-being. He has a right to a voice & freedom from institutional subjugation.

#FreedomOfSpeech #PrinceHarry #PrincessDiana #RoyalFamily #Compassion #Visions #Subjugation #RaiseTheNarrative #SocialDiscourse

We #Live in a #Society that allows itself, and the #Narrative of that society, to be controlled by those with limited to no experiences of actual reality. When we speak out we are told we are the #Delusional ones, by those unable to see through their own projections of illusion/delusion.
The narrative of society has to be freed from this grip of #Insanity of those that know no better.
