Ms Matthews, originally from Cornwall, was being treated as an NHS patient for a personality disorder. She was a complex patient considered at high risk of suicide, and had a history of frequent suicide attempts. The jury found that while under the care of the Priory "it was evident there were serious inconsistencies across all levels of her care plan". The hospital provided "inadequate care of a highly vulnerable patient," the jury said. They found there was a widespread "lack of communication, failing to escalate serious risk factors, lack of team cohesion, and reliance on inaccurate and inadequate information". A...

I believe the attack on Prezwodow, Poland was actually intended for cross-border transmission power line located at 50°24'38.93"N 24° 1'0.11"E. A cruise missile simply followed the power lines up into Ukraine and kept going after it missed its target.I do not believe an S300 missile was involved in the event because the missile would be going the wrong way. Surface to Air missiles expend all of their energy in the first few seconds of flight and do not have the ability to execute a U-turn.It is possible, however that a cruise missile may have been shot down if coming from...

We haven't done an update in regards to the Russian economy for a while now. And my question to you is has it collapsed yet? Has the Russian economy collapsed as we have been hearing? Ursula von der leyen in her State of the Union address, the EU State of the Union address thing that they do. She said, and she actually said this, that the Russians are removing chips from their dishwashers and using them in military...

The White House warned that Putin is preparing for an escalation of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s calling up troops in a partial mobilization and warns that he will use all weapons at his disposal if he has to. Usually, deploying troops is not called an escalation. Using nuclear weapons obviously would be. The US likes to say they are not escalating, but they repeatedly have. Putin will replenish his forces in Ukraine with 300,000 of his two million reservists as he prepares for a referendum to allow four regions in Donbas to join the Russian Federation. Leonid Slutsky, a...

The Ukraine war is now essentially a stalemate. Yes, Ukrainian forces have had some recent success near Kharkiv, but at a high price. The brutal reality is that Russia has approximately 150M people, Ukraine has 40M. Ukraine is a border region of the Russian Federation, and very important to the Kremlin. Now that he has committed forces, Putin cannot let control of the Donbass region go, no matter the casualties. If he allowed that to happen, he would lose power. So, he will follow the old Russian tactic of throwing bodies at the conflict in a long war of attrition....

Latest update from The New Atlas focusing on the realities of Ukraine's recent tactical victory vs. the enormous structural cost that likely leads to speeding up to Ukraine's eventual strategic failure. Ukraine lost 5-7 brigades (20,000 to 28,000 men) in just that short 10 day period of "counter offensive." Makes the interesting point that Russia's decision to withdraw eliminated Ukraine's ability to significantly reduce Russia's manpower or weaponry. By enticing Ukraine to come out of their covered defensive positions and into the open it has provided an easier target for Russia to attack by air and artillery Ukraine's stretched out...

After the first Ukrainian attempt to push towards had failed it is now reinforcing that failure. As I describe the move: The only 'successful' attack was across the Inhulet river near Andriivka in the direction of the dam and river crossing that closes off the Kakhovka Dnieper reservoir. The troops were cut off and mostly destroyed. On the western side of the salient a Russian unit crossed the Inhulet towards north and attacked the Ukrainians on that side. It soon had to pull back and the Ukrainians used the Russian crossing to reconnect with the cut off units in the...

Once the full scale of Ukrainian losses in their counter offensive becomes widely known, the political divisions within the Zelensky government are likely to grow. There is a video online in Ukrainian with a Ukrianian General stating that Ukrainian losses are “hundreds of thousands.” This is a fact that will not remain hidden and will add to the turmoil swirling around Zelensky. How long will the Ukrainian people continue to support a policy where their husbands and sons are being used as cannon fodder? That is a critical indicator to monitor during September.

Possibly 8K - 10K casualtiesMercouris reporting massive damage to ukie forces involved in the show counteroffensive. Russians apparently using Mongol tactics, retreating to lure ukies into traps and then annihilating them with artillery. One particular "mountain brigade" totally annihilated, home region holding "day of mourning"... US and UK forcing those people into this **** is beyond criminal, more like sinful, sooner or later God is going to get pissed off over it. The only ratioinal thing anybody in Ukraine could think of doing at this point is surrender, they're fighting way out of their weight division.

Journalist Bari Weiss asked former Attorney General Bill Barr if convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein may not have taken his own life. Epstein was discovered dead of an apparent suicide in his cell at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019, according to The New York Times, but some have speculated that he did not kill himself or may have been murdered. In an interview released Thursday, journalist Bari Weiss asked Barr, “Is it possible that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t die by suicide?” “No,” he responded.

Google has begun removing old posts from my blog. Below are a couple of screen prints of just two of the many emails sent me about their actions. They are busy removing my articles I wrote all the way back to 2009, when I first started using this blog for a repository of my articles in anticipation of what eventually did happen with the newspaper I blogged for. With all the wokeness and scrubbing of history going on it was just a matter of time before they came after me. As I said, I was somewhat prepared when in 2012...

An important clarification was already delivered by the experts: As to the question whether the bomb was on a timer or remote control, the answer already came in: Remote control. This fact has huge ramifications. WarGonzo blogger Semyon Pegov points out that the person who pressed the remote-control button to ignite the bomb, would have been in visual contact with the car and its occupant: “In other words, the terrorists who were supposedly out to blow Dugin up in his own car, would have observed, how Darya got into the car instead. Not the original target. And then they would...

In yet another harsh crackdown over Tiananmen Square massacre, China seems to have silenced a popular blogger. The personality had just livestreamed footage of a cake, which was shaped like a tank. The incident happened just before the anniversary of the massacre on June 4. The issue has sparked debate among tens of millions of young fans. But even discussion about the 1989 crackdown is forbidden on the mainland. In the massacre, China had set troops and tanks on peaceful protesters at Tiananmen Square. This blogger is Li Jiaqi, who is now a household name in China. Li was born...

A Swedish study has demonstrated and confirmed that the mRNA in the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid injections infiltrates cells and transcribes its message onto human DNA within 6 hours, altering our own DNA. A previous study published in October 2021 from Sweden found the spike protein enters into our cells’ nuclei and impairs the mechanism our cells have to repair damaged DNA. We’ve included this study here as The Highwire made an easy-to-understand video explaining it, including graphics, and so it is a good starting point to help understand the significance of the latest study from Sweden.ransomnote: video available on DailyExpose.uk article...

How One Ukrainian Billionaire Funded Hunter Biden, President Volodymyr Zelensky, And The Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion Is this why Hunter Biden's laptop talks about "Children Burned Alive" in Ukraine? Kolomoysky Owns Burisma Holdings The real person who was the benefactor to, and the boss of, Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, was not the CEO of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, but it was instead Ihor Kolomoysky, who was part of the newly installed Ukrainian Government, which the Obama Administration itself had actually just installed in Ukraine, in what the head of the “private...

I mainly just want to ask the question, see what kinds of responses I may get or what other discussions flow from it. What could we do to automate conservatism? This can be both in the form of reaching new people as well as helping educate others around us of new things they may not have known. So far the most prominent answer I have found for myself is the audiobooks. I will be creating those for many years to come as the opportunities for education are immense. Over the years I have tried to get out of my comfort...

The value of these super-abundant follies will trend rapidly to zero once margin calls and other bits of reality drastically reduce demand.Inflation, deflation, stagflation–they’ve all got proponents. But who’s going to be right? The difficulty here is that supply and demand are dynamic and so there are always things going up in price that haven’t changed materially (and are therefore not worth the higher cost) and other things dropping in price even though they haven’t changed materially. So proponents of inflation and deflation can always offer examples supporting their case. The stagflationist camp is delighted to offer a compromise case:...
