Critical Thinking

Cui Bono?

by

One of the most important questions we can ask in our search for comprehension of issues or events is cui bono? Who benefits? Constant reference to this yardstick throughout our work in Critical Thinking and beyond invariably revealed the same answer: those who control money. The extent to which those families that originated and shaped … Read more

We Are All Coolies

by

Danny has been supportive of and has contributed to the work of the Critical Thinking project and its successors for some years, not least in providing meeting space, events and screen printing facilities in 2015. When we crossed paths in Eddie’s print studio on Tuesday, I spotted he had a few “Cool!tude” T-shirts. Danny explained … Read more

Critical Thinking

by

Within the last few days, LinkedIn censored (by removal) a post that contained information on Freedom Of Information requests for evidence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus being isolated. No-one has been proven to have died from covid because no relevant post-mortem data has been released. We can be reasonably sure that if there were genuine post-mortem … Read more

Who Wants to Know?

The art of critical thinking can be expressed in the form of principles but it comes down to being innately curious about the world, the universe and our place within it. In many, this curiosity is suppressed through training, distraction and inertia. Two curious people, who’ve been on their own journeys of discovery, discuss where … Read more

Scale and Effective Dissent

At last night’s post-Critical Thinking meeting, we had the largest turnout since the original Critical Thinking project at the Free University started in January 2012 – the first meeting attracted around 50 people.

Phases of Deception

by

The context or background to what is unfolding today, under the pretext of a fabricated pandemic, is provided in How We Live which is introduced in a two part video.

In that paper, reference is made to false flag attacks to initiate and sustain the so called “war on terror” to coral the human cattle into docile submission to draconian security and surveillance while unleashing perpetual war. This was Phase One of Deception and provided the impetus and confidence to roll out the following phases to create the global police state. Today, the illusion of freedom is evaporating before our eyes.

Are we looking at the wrong birdie?

by

No, this is NOT an April fool joke!

While we’re all focusing on “contagion” and the risk of catching an “airborne” and “highly contagious” disease (something I learnt was “either/or” when I was young, never both together), are people getting sick from something else entirely. After all, we’re electric beings in an electric universe.
