A trans woman has been helped to breastfeed her grandchild, in what is thought to be a world first.
The unidentified 50-year-old was helped to express up to 30ml of milk at a time, after a four week course of hormone treatment.
Researchers from Duke University reported the woman ‘lactated for a total of two weeks’ and was able to feed the four-month-old baby.
The motivation for inducing lactation was to create a ‘bond from breastfeeding that she had not been able to experience with her own five children’.
And we revile Dr Frankenstein? Not sure why. He was clearly a rank amateur. And at least he never used a live child as a prop in his revolting experiments. You know who did? Dr Mengele. And if he'd been caught, he'd have been hanged. If that's who you want to emulate, Duke University researches, god help you.
‘The patient tearfully reported this was a significant and emotional experience for her that felt very different from formula feeding her other children.
‘She states she has a special bond with this baby for which she is grateful.
‘The patient did not experience any side effects from her treatment regimen.’
What the hell is wrong with the actual mother allowing her child to be subjected to this? If the scientists are blinded by personal glory, what's her excuse?
The issue of trans women breastfeeding is subject to controversy – gender-critical campaigners described the study as ‘absolutely shocking’.
The ordinary person on the street would, I'm sure, have a more pithy, and more accurate, response.
On the surface, the alt-media seem to be doing well ... for example this girl to the left, in Texas, replete with headset and mic ... the perfect alt-media keyboard warrior.
Like us here. Looking just at OoL, our elder statesman Mike had that NHS horror in which he lost his wife, Julia works, so she can only spend a certain time online and we know where ... the gaming is some sort of relief ... I'm not only retired but refuse to look at the MSM ... no tele, no radio ... so my reality is people like Julia. Not mobile any more, actually in isolation both for health and personal safety.
What percentage of the population do we reach, cybernetically? Well look at Nige when UKIP was at its height ... 29%? What is reform now in polls ... 13%? Polls are fake? Well yes but it's not the majority, let's say.
The majority are fast becoming Millennials and Zoomers ... voting and being primed to vote. Just look at the state of schools, sexual and drug culture, the "teachers" there.
Just look at this if you would:
Just look at that young creature to our right ... the eyes, the manner. Doesn't work, can join protests at will, whenever, completely brainwashed and parrotting the Narrative, projecting back, as they do, all the things they're guilty of themselves. The new human flotsam ... our sons and daughters.
Our lot are still reporting of course:
Our reality on, say, Rowling, is quite different to that single mother above ... to us, Rowling is too big to take down, unlike bloggers, vloggers and tweeters in Scotland. With the little pundits, it's a case of picking them off one by one, with the occasional dawn raids for the more uppity ...
... but more a case of shadow banning, selective "reach restriction" the platform interfering with your numbers etc. etc.
On Twitter this morning, all the pieces on Yousaf's hate laws and the fact that he's been himself reported many times over ... it's gone.
Now, to be fair, it's still too early for Brits to swing into gear ... more likely to be this evening ... it's more late night Americans just now on Twitter. Still, those tweets have gone ... at least from my timeline ... no beg pardons.
And there it is ... Cyber censors us ... the Woke twerps have free rein, mobile, can do a spot of handgluing in an hour if needed. Good little communists. Robert Zimmerman from the 60s: "Your sons and your daughters are beyond your control ... your old road is rapidly aging."
Voters ... us, the Wokerati, the deathcult masses, the invaders. Where do you see this going?
Greetings all on this Easter morn. This greeting is not going to be popular with the majority, so I do not expect any of our crew to get with any but the last line of said greeting.
For a dwindling number, the old western tradition of saying, “Rejoice, he is risen!” still applies … commemorating the west we once knew where it was safe to do the things that those in the second group also once enjoyed in safety, without being raped, slaughtered, visited by rainbow coloured thug plod et al.
For maybe still the majority in these days of faith fallen away, it’s all spring, new growth, flowers, Easter bunnies and mushy choc eggs. A mix of gods … vestiges of the old, decaying Christian heritage, rampant consumerism, me me me hedonism … out with the lawn mower or doing all those other mending and repairing jobs. Easter Sunday lunch.
For the Nu Yoof, badly parented if at all, shockingly taught by non-comps and the increasingly sicko teachers in schools … spring break pagan orgies on the beach with anyone indiscriminately, glued to the iphone, furiously texting like insects with twitching feelers.
Then there is a new, equally worrying component, of which Khan in London is but the tip of the iceberg, Obama’s Biden in DC … not just godless or satanic but truly savages … these are the invaders and other rapid breeders swamping us, now in charge of the fractured infrastructure … the new orcs.
God help us all and by a lucky coincidence, the first lot mentioned above do have a way of turning this around and this is the day for it, all turning on one name … Jesus … not that many are interested any more in saving the west, saving Christendom.
A greeting which the old west can get behind though this day … Happy Easter, all!
And on Saturday morning, as the 2000 year old western account says the crucified Jesus of Nazareth (not yet Christ) has descended to the dead (or hades, wherever), we might reflect on our current day and might start to feel we need deliverance from these monsters ... 👇🏻
I spent some time researching the systems on the MV Dali last night. Wiki tells us that it has a single main (propulsion) engine, a Two Stroke MAN B&W S90ME, coupled to a fixed-pitch propeller. For manoeuvring in ports, it has a single 3,000 kW (4,000 hp) bow thruster. Electricity is generated onboard by two 3,840 kW (5,150 hp) and two 4,400 kW (5,900 hp) auxiliary diesel generators. So there is plenty of redundancy in the electrical side of things. I then found (and downloaded) a 353 page installation and operating manual for the S90ME. It's for a slightly later version, so there may be some detail differences, but the main features should be the same. Here's a section of text from the Engine Control System section:
The ME system has a high level of redundancy. It has been a requirement to its design that no single failure related to the system may cause the engine to stop."
Being a modern "Common Rail" design, it has duplicate control computers, which run in parallel, so if one fails the other instantly takes over. They each have separate AC to 24v DC power supplies with battery back up. Each cylinder has its own control module which operates the fuel injector, exhaust valve & air starting valve. These valves all need a high pressure oil supply to work, and that comes from multiple electric pumps, and (standard) crankshaft driven pumps, which will keep the engine running alone above idle speed. All this lot, and multiple control positions, run on two separate computer networks.
It strikes me that the only "Accidental" way the main engine would stop is IF the engine driven pumps were not specified during construction, and then electric power was lost.
But if a crew member (or anyone able to gain access during a stop over) planted malware in the system, then potentially just about everything on the ship could be remotely controlled. This could include the generators, their synchronisation & switching systems and possibly even the bow thruster. Just this sort of scenario is now being reported in the world of cars & trucks, but has been shown to be possible even WITHOUT direct access, via Bluetooth, Wifi or Cellular communications.
I have to assume the rudder is moved hydraulically, and that's going to need electric pumps, so won't have been controllable during the blackout. Even once power was restored it would take time to move from one extreme to the other. It's also a limitation of such vessels that to go into reverse means completely stopping the main engine, and re-starting it in the opposite direction - no gearbox is typically fitted on such large engines. This can (potentially) take in the order of minutes to accomplish, so wouldn't have helped in this case, even if they DID have control.
Staff at the UK’s national institute for artificial intelligence and data science have expressed “serious concerns” about the organisation’s approach to diversity after it appointed four men to senior roles.
A letter addressed to the leadership of the Alan Turing Institute (ATI) said the appointments showed a “‘continuing trend of limited diversity within the institute’s senior scientific leadership”.
“Our intention is not to undermine the professional achievements of these esteemed colleagues and that we’re looking forward to working together with them. Rather, our aim is to highlight a broader issue within our institute’s approach to diversity and inclusivity, particularly in scientific leadership roles, with a specific eye towards gender diversity and inclusivity,” said the letter.
So, just how 'unrepresentative (as if that mattered) is the technology industry?
One in four senior tech employees in the UK are women, according to the annual diversity in tech report by the Tech Talent Charter, a government-backed industry group, while 14% of senior tech role holders are ethnic minorities.
According to the 2021 census, the ethnic minority population of the UK is 18% so they aren't really doing too bad.
ATI’s chief executive said the part government-funded organisation was “committed” to increasing the presence of people from under-represented groups in AI and data science.
Dr Sarah Benn has long been concerned about the climate crisis, diligently recycling until she was “blue in the face”. But the rise of the climate activist group Extinction Rebellion in 2019 inspired her and her husband to go further. “We thought: well, if we don’t do it then who else is going to?”
While working as a GP near Birmingham, Benn became increasingly involved in direct action over the next few years, and once glued her hand to the door of the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy in protest at the government’s inaction on the climate.
*sighs* If only they spent as much time seeing patients as they do virtue signalling, we'd respect them more...
Benn now faces a professional tribunal by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS), the disciplinary arm of the General Medical Council (GMC), to determine whether she can keep her licence to practise. She is one of three GPs who face being struck off for climate activism this year, and her case in April is the first that will be heard.
After her first four criminal convictions – two for obstructing a highway, one for stopping people engaged in a lawful activity and one for flying a drone in a restricted place – the GMC opened an investigation.
Yes, Reader, you read that right - it takes FOUR convictions to get them to come in off the golf course and take a good hard look...
It was not until Benn was found guilty of contempt of court for breaching a civil injunction at Kingsbury oil terminal in Warwickshire as part of a Just Stop Oil campaign that she was referred for a full tribunal. Benn spent a total of 31 days in prison for this action.
And she's far from the only one:
Dr Patrick Hart, a GP from Bristol, also has a string of convictions for climate activism, one of which resulted in a suspended prison sentence. After he rejected a formal warning from the GMC, he was told he would face a tribunal in November.
“The lawyer I spoke to said it was unusually lenient but I didn’t take it. Partly because it would have been dishonest and partly because I’m angry with them for … failing to make any meaningful statement about any of this and enthusiastically investigating people for matters of conscience and patient care,” Hart said.
Where's the 'patient care' in all this grandstanding?
Benn has now retired and is no longer practising as a GP. But she wants the GMC to recognise the importance of her actions, and said doctors should be seen as “trusted messengers”.
Let's start with us, ourselves, and try to make this calm and to the point, without any panic, as panic, rabbits in headlights, trembling, is the psych reaction we must at all costs reject in ourselves ... if we want to live.
Let's look at overall numbers within any given western nation. Yes, the "westerner" still makes up the vast majority, moreso in the countryside and small towns, far fewer in the cities, e.g. Bradford, London, Chicago, NYC, SF ... leftwing places, leftwing or "world" culture. Overall numbers.
Consider the western girl, head bashed by black girl, brain damage, now breathing. Let's consider the physical strength, the stock we're looking at respectively. Kumbaya candle vigilists, the greatest crime getting someone's pronouns wrong, the viciousness of the weak person ... en masse ... the "refugees welcome" generations.
Now consider the physical and mental stock of the invaders ... their hardness, callousness, their capacity for enduring hardship, on very little food. As was seen in the Moscovsky oblast or outer area in the NW ... it was like a knife through butter, it was lambs to the slaughter.
Part of it has been the loss of the psych war ... the MSM, "entertainment", interpersonal behaviour ... all satanised, me me me, hormonal teenage girl reaction to almost everything, from vicious attacks, lashing out, to gluing hands to roads to total inner collapse, the entire, coordinated wellness industry.
What was it Robert Zimmerman sang? Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command. What were we like? Clambering up climbing frames, falling off, grazing our knees, riding our bikes or walking, house chores ... we were the generation during which true toughness faded, died.
The generation before ... toughened by necessity, rationing, austerity ... the war generation. Gen X? Bits of metal over the body, tatts, yet brittle as crisps inside ... feminised. Millennials? Zoomers? Teachers and evil clinics all over ... there's a Tavistock centre up the road from here for body mutilation for youth ... shhhhh, don't tell mum and the current man who services her.
Fathers? Free of any responsibility, not in the home, more generally alone, jaundiced view of female meat as receptacles. Why not? Look at female behaviour at the death knell end of feminazism ... who'd go near it?
Now look again at the invaders ... the very worst elements from those lands, hardly the brightest and best. Somalia for goodness sake! Ten mindless Orc gunmen, ten thousand sensitive human souls at a concert? Tajikistan? Whateverstan?
Now add religion to those ten Orcs, to justify their behaviour ... fanatical hatred, mission to slaughter, unless you are suddenly converting ... you heard the imam ... door to door they're going, asking are you already a deathculter ... if not, think of Oct 7 in Israel. Think of subsequently in Gaza.
Oh but that's over there, we're here, different other thing.
Is it? River to the sea lightshow on Big Ben tower? Hamas marches every weekend?
How do we westerners react? In America ... MAGA. In Britain ... we're on X, posting pics of a Better Britain from the past ... very pretty pics to be sure, very nice people. Deep rejection of how it's all fallen away. Fear deep inside, that which cannot be expressed or you'll be arrested for far right hate crime.
No actual action ... yet.
The Church ... the God of your childhood ... it's all been in songs on the airwaves, in the music ... all gone away, not fit for purpose, cathedrals becoming mosques or leisure centres ... in a modern idiom of course ... graceless ... brutal. Govt ... the less said the better. The media? Hidden govt portal into your home, your car during its final years, the Message in every waiting room.
Rainbow pride time ... pride in perverted pleasures ... taught to children in schools and libraries ... woof woof. Sodom and Gomorrah.
How far are you just now from a Godfearing, family husband or beloved wife? The happy patter of tiny feet? Is the man the breadwinner, the wife taking care of the home economy ... at home? Why not in each case?
Why in this time of war, were there not at least armed guards, a dozen minimum, at any venue with more than a thousand people there? A shopping centre for example? Not arresting the piano player at the airport piano but eyes on the deathculters? Any guards are trained to look away from real threats now, aren't they ... only look at the harmless as hate crims. Do you see how twisted all this is?
If the last tough generation capable of fighting these Orcs was the war generation, possibly the first half of the boomers ... now far too old to stand up to savages on slaughtering rampages or mass praying in the streets ... what hope subsequent whiny generations? They'll just sit there like the Eloi, won't they? Bewildered to the slaughter. Will Plod or the Milley army defend them? The army's over in the Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, innit?
Time to get real? What chance people will? Before it's too late?
