That little monologue Alice had this episode about whether she knows the purpose of the OIAR freaked me the fuck out because I'm not totally sure if she's lying or not!!! Like I think she probably either knows way more than she's letting on and chooses not to think/act on it bc she just needs the paycheck or!!!! She's a clown prophet whose goofs and bits are more insightful than they're presented!!! Which brings me to another point:
THE UK GOVERNMENT IS BEHIND IT ALL???
#the magnus protocol#alice dyer#tmagp#tmagp 12#okay listen obviously the government is involved somehow since its literally a government job in a government department#and the uk government is naturally evil but surprisingly! tma has not had the government as a formal antagonist!#institutions of power sure but the government being directly aware of and involved in the ooky spooky??? brand new!!!#tmagp theory#juno expounds

In 2014, the Guardian asked me to nominate my hero of the year. To some people’s surprise, I chose Russell Brand. I loved the way he energised young people who had been alienated from politics. I claimed, perhaps hyperbolically, he was “the best thing that has happened to the left in years” (in my defence, there wasn’t, at the time, much competition).
Today, I can scarcely believe it’s the same man. I’ve watched 50 of his recent videos, with growing incredulity. He appears to have switched from challenging injustice to conjuring phantoms. If, as I suspect it might, politics takes a very dark turn in the next few years, it will be partly as a result of people like Brand.
It’s hard to decide which is most dispiriting: the stupidity of some of the theories he recites, or the lack of originality. He repeatedly says he’s not a conspiracy theorist, but, to me, he certainly sounds like one.
In 2014, he was bursting with new ideas and creative ways of presenting them. Today, he wastes his talent on tired and discredited tales: endless iterations of the alleged evils of the World Economic Forum founder, Klaus Schwab, the Great Reset, Bill Gates, Nancy Pelosi, the former US chief medical adviser, Anthony Fauci, Covid vaccines, medical data, the World Health Organization, Pfizer, smart cities and “the globalist masterplan”.
His videos appear to promote “natural immunity” ahead of vaccines, and for a while pushed ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as treatments for Covid (they aren’t).
He championed the “Freedom Convoy” that occupied Ottawa, which apparently stood proudly against the “tyranny” of Justin Trudeau’s policies. He hawks Graham Hancock’s widely debunked claims about ancient monuments.
A wildly popular clip from one of his videos about the Dutch nitrate crisis offers a classic conspiracy theory mashup: a tangle of claims that may be true in other contexts, random accusations, scapegoating and resonances with some old and very ugly tropes. He claims that “this whole fertiliser situation is a scam”. The real objective is “to bankrupt the farmers so their land can be grabbed”. This “shows you how the Great Reset operates”, using “globalist” regulations to throw farmers off their land. He claims it’s “connected to the land grab of Bill Gates” and the “corruption of companies like Monsanto”.
In reality, the Dutch government was forced to act by a legal ruling, as levels of nitrate pollution, largely from livestock farms, break European law. Its attempts to curb this pollution have nothing to do with the World Economic Forum and its vacuous rhetoric about a “Great Reset”. Or with Bill Gates. Or with Monsanto, which hasn’t existed since 2018 when it was bought by Bayer. So why mention them? Perhaps because these terms have become potent click triggers.
Brand is repeating claims first made by far-right conspiracists, who have piled into this issue, claiming that the nitrate crisis is a pretext to seize land from farmers, in whom, they claim, true Dutch identity is vested, and hand it to asylum seekers and other immigrants. It’s a version of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, itself a reworking of the Nazis’ blood and soil tropes about protecting the “rooted” and “authentic” people – in whom “racial purity” and “true” German identity was vested – from “cosmopolitan” and “alien” forces (ie Jews). Brand may not realise this, as the language has changed a little – “cosmopolitans” have become “globalists”, “aliens” have become “immigrants” – but the themes have not.
On and drearily on he goes. He manages to confuse the World Health Organization’s call for better pandemic surveillance (by which it means the tracking of infectious diseases) with coercive surveillance of the population, creating “centralised systems of control where you are ultimately a serf”.
Some of his many rants about Bill Gates are illustrated with an image of the man wearing a multicoloured lapel badge, helpfully circled in red. This speaks to another widespread conspiracy theory: those who wear this badge are members of a secret organisation conspiring to control the world (so secret they stick it on their jackets). In reality, it shows support for the UN sustainable development goals.
Such claims are not just wrong. They are wearyingly, boringly wrong. But, to judge by the figures (he has more than 6 million subscribers on YouTube), the audience loves them.
Some of his theories, such as his recent obsession with UFOs, are innocuous enough. Others have potential to do great harm. There’s the risk to the people scapegoated, such as Fauci, Schwab and Pelosi: subjects of conspiracy theories often become targets of violence. There are the risks misleading claims present to public health. And bizarre stories about shadowy “elites” protect real elites from scrutiny and challenge.
While I’m not suggesting this is his purpose, it’s a tactic used deliberately by powerful people to disarm those who might otherwise hold them to account. Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, had a term for it: “flood the zone with shit”. As Naomi Klein has shown, the Great Reset conspiracy theory was conceived by a staffer at the Heartland Institute, a US lobby group that has promoted climate denial and other billionaire-friendly positions. It’s a bastardisation of her shock doctrine hypothesis, distracting people from the malfeasance of those with real power.

🇬🇧 Embark on a journey through the illustrious lineage of the Aston Martin Lagonda, spanning from 1976 to 1990, a testament to automotive luxury and innovation!
👑 Founded in 1913, Aston Martin has become synonymous with luxury, English elegance, and high-performance automobiles. In the early 1970s, it continued to push the boundaries of automotive design and engineering.
🚘 The Aston Martin Lagonda lineup of the late 1970s and 1980s exemplified the pinnacle of luxury automobiles, featuring sleek and sophisticated designs that set new standards for elegance and refinement.
🛞 Beneath their refined exteriors, the Lagonda boasted powerful V8 engines, delivering exhilarating performance and effortless cruising. Their spacious and sumptuously appointed interiors were outfitted with the latest amenities, including plush leather upholstery and polished wood trim.
💡 The Lagonda was known for its innovative use of electronic systems, including digital dashboard displays, onboard computers, and advanced climate control systems, setting new benchmarks for automotive technology and innovation.
💔 Despite critical acclaim and a loyal following, production of the Aston Martin Lagonda ultimately ceased in 1990. One of the key factors contributing to the discontinuation of the Lagonda series was the high cost of production and limited demand in the luxury car market.

Just out of curiosity since its my special interest; what kind of fashion styles would you say you wear/would like to wear? smile
ooo i feel like it's a mix of multiple styles! my friends irl either say that i dress emo or y2k style (i wear a lot of skirts over jeans, fun hats, leg warmers, lots of accessories and stuff...) my main style inspirations are stuff from fruits mag and random outfit pics from pinterest - i buy a lot of my clothes from chinese indie brands like cfierce, eyeelike, and double punch if that gives a good idea!
in short - in warmer months, my style is more harajuku/y2k/etc inspired - colorful oversized shirts, lots of hairclips, keychains, and accessories, cargo pants and shorts, etc!
and in colder months, more emo (according to my friends - i personally don't consider myself emo)/mori kei/twee??? idrk - dark patterned cardigans and sweaters, layered leg warmers, scarfs, hats (like ushankas and baker caps etc)!
if i could dress any other way, i would dress every way. i love all alternative fashion styles so much!!! i've loved alt fashion since i was a wannabe fairy kei 8 year old haha
#ask zeno#chinese indie brands are seriously underrated btw. a lot of stuff you see on pinterest that's miscredited as japanese or korean ...#its actually from chinese brands!#some more brands i've been eyeing are starry uff - hashtag DDD - 4re1gn - and i've also bought some stuff from no romance too!#the only downsides of chinese brands is that you have to jump through a million hoops to buy stuff from proxy sites#pay a shit ton for shipping#and often times the sizing is REALLY limited#i'm UK size XS-S and couldnt fit into M-sized jeans from nonamespace that my sister bought lol#luckily some brands have better sizing but its still a big issue#there are a few western brands that are similar and with more inclusive sizing though! i'd recommend sixth dimension in particular#and i wish i could reccomend minga london but they are seriously extortionate for their quality unfortunately#everything else i get from depop and vinted and other forms of thrifting - i try to avoid fast fashion as much as possible#though most of my accessories were bought from aliexpress a few years ago before i stopped using it#i'm really glad you asked this actually lol i love waffling about fashion stuff

Ok dude to a recent post of yours is have to know what other plants are sluts?
Rhododendron is the QUEEN of sluts. It will not STOP. Uprooting this fast-growing monstrosity is dick and half a ball because it has strong roots and woody stems; UK conservationists hate this stuff.
The most monstrous slut, Colonel War Crimes of the slut kingdom, is Giant Hogweed. Not ONLY is it voracious, not only is it huge, but this plant is NOXIOUS. You have to sequester it off when you see it and eradicate it in PPE. Actively dangerous just to stand around.
Other sluts are sitka spruces, mile-a-minuteweed, japanese honeysuckle, skunk cabbage... very aggressive invaders. The UK is under seige with invasive species since the island is REALLY unique in its soil chemistry. Once you deacidify it, you have a hard time fixing that.
#Funfact! Earthworms are invasive to America and they came from Europe/UK#American forests did not evolve for earthworms to break down leaf litter the way they do#The UK did#Im noticing that in the uk there's a theme of having large and small animals (humans worms hogs)--#That churn the soil in some way and the ecosystem really being built around that#So when you get a new plant that fucks with that cycle it causes brand new problems#Especially pioneer plants that would ANYWHERE ELSE help fix an environment#But moor and bog is *supposed* to be like this#Cw vulgar language#Bone babble

The pivot towards courting a more conspiracy theory believing (and thus mainstream media questioning) fanbase is actually a chillingly Machiavellian move

the great lost love of my life isn’t a person, nay, it’s a Swedish cider I discovered in London
Kopparberg Strawberry Lime cider, if you’re reading this, come home baby (to a grocery store near me), I’ll treat you right, I swear
#penni yeets her thoughts into the void#Kopparberg strawberry lime cider save me#like why did I go to a major metropolitan city and come back with an affinity for a brand sold NOWHERE NEAR ME#be for real#came back from the UK with a lung infection; a deep acquaintance with something I can call loneliness; and a favorite cider brand
