The world need’s a change, a bridge between a difference that can sight a open clean mind, the mind of air” a length that is a stride from its formative existence, as a virtual reality, a lost transition that is built on the foundations of people, who are use as sex slaves or used for there value, as a human to entertain or support people for the cycle of an evaluation in todays living life, it’s a sustainable constitution of an aggressive system that sucks people under’ that has life ending results. 

The blood boils, as the human psychological response has an agreeable effect that brings vision of trauma, like a disappearance in life. 

Protect your children, as they are out there on the hunt’ as the ethical race that is of control” is the main target for the abuse, a lot of white children are being subjected to violence, abuse” as it’s been a matter of consideration for years that they are used, as a show for money and pleasure. 

Tick tok, Instagram, facebook, etc are all used to fuel the narrative of the entertainment, that pushes it in the direction that it intends to do, as it’s a program. 

The years of black slaves are a change, that is seeing a ethical race used for money, sexual money that brings danger to your children, it’s a route that stays silent for those who want a relation or involvement. 

A lot of women are pin up boards, sex labels’ there children fellow the cycle, as it’s a polluted cycle, a drug and infested space of origin. 


These people are everywhere” setting up shop, they are on your beaches, your local corner shop’s, back ally ways, they are in media, films, music, cheap flat’s above corner shop’s, out side your home when you have no acknowledgement of them being there, they hunt at night, then hide at the location in the day, they sit at coffee shops looking for a opportunity to strike, they ride the train service looking for way’s to grab that opportunity. 

It’s a danger’ an alert, it’s a matter of survival for your children and your families, protect and never forget that the soul of a wolf is all ways on the hunt for meat, even when the storm is at stake, they will still want a taste. 

This aims hate for racial minorities who have nothing, it’s a world that can not change, it will never change’ unless the people want it too at the top of the chain, as they are fake and the main abusers in the industry of entertainment. 

It’s an illegal trade that is made legal for the use of people who are lost in life, who are down psychologically, let’s grab hold of the fatal disease that is second’s away from every person, who holds a daunting dark life that they can’t escape. 

Build your power’ to make this an awareness, that has stopped the madness that we are experiencing in every corner of this world, war, abuse, new development of drugs that are deadly to the core, as poverty, weapons, porn are all in the same category. 

Words can not bring these young people or adult’s of abuse down, it’s a sad reality that boils down to the names used. 

It’s an attack of venom, that exist within the body’s of humans that talk and infuse there minds far and beyond” it’s only going to get worst, it’s going to kill humanity between races and cultures as a whole. 

People say’ why does it matter, they are all Hoe’s and slags and nonsense pervs out here any way, why do you care?  it’s the future of our inner soul! it’s has no worth of respect to what it did have years ago in the 1980, compared to now in 2024. 

The is a horrific example of human abuse on a scale that now target’s the white ethical race in a big way, compared to years ago, it was black slaves targeted by white nationalist’ being raped and abused, now its white peoples younger generation being used for the value of the £ or $! as this is mostly 80 % likely done’ all by there own ethical culture, that sights a bad influence’ to think it’s ok. 

The white soul is attacking there own kind, as no child is safe from these entertainers, who feel they can alight a film of disgust to the world at aiming a influence that is spread like a cancer through humanity. 

The cold ice brakes it’s fold, the law has no effect of the abuse’ that keep’s on towering the world we live in today. 

This brake’s a heart to understand that this is happening, if they can’t attack another’ then attack your own, as this is what is happening. 

Influence of slave culture, the mind that is subjected within a subconscious sense to humans, are infiltrated by the sex slave’s within an industry that relies heavily upon interaction, as they are happily getting abused for the nature of money. 

The days when porn was a small target social intervention between people has grown, 1980’s was a clear minded approach to life, as technology lacked it’s existence, as over time this has advanced to perform these tasks, as this is subjected to a slave minded job for the small amount of money exceeded. 

The music video below is called Brenda by 2 pac, the story is about a young girl who has been abused by her father and she was only 12 years old, she fell pregnant and then got rid of the baby by dumping it in a trash bin. 

Brenda then turn to selling drugs to support her self to only find her self not able to sell the drugs, as she got robbed, so she turned to prostitution” as a sex worker to earn money. 

This music video is an example of why people turn to prostitution and porn, as they have come from domestic family or social interaction or public services sexual abused backgrounds, as a young child, it’s a gateway that leads to more in life. 

Let’s get rid of the infected porn site’s and prostitution, it’s damaging to society and the mind and body of our younger generation and older generation, these people should face consequences for setting up website’s that harbour any sort of abuse content or any sexual content in any sort of manner. 

Sexual rape and glorified sexual pleasure leads to discrimination between different cultures and gender identity, it’s sex slave work that is done in a modern day way, that looks ok to some people. 

It’s a no brainer, it’s damaging to people who don’t have any intentions other then curiosity or investigating, it’s a infected drug like crack, these site are not needed on any platform, as it should be taken down. 

Mark zuckerberg should stop using his platform, as a gate way  to other porn sites, women expressing there sex feet or body in a way that leads them to ask for money in a form of pornfication prostitution, as mark zuckerberg is offering this on his platform.

Porn site Links and messages from message’s on Facebook or instagram is an attack that should be highlighted before a person uses his site. 

This influences the mind to act in a manner that is not correct, we need the 1980s early 90s style of approach to media, no access to any sexual material. 

A Free mind for the children and the adults. It’s getting worst, as people are abusing children at an alarming rate. 

It’s the same values as slavery towards black people, it a violation of biological trauma, getting paid for treatment that folds within it’s own community. 

This is never going to stop, it never going to end, a continuation of taking a soul from another person child or family member. 

The horror movie that screams the cover of a story that alights history as an abuse, slavey for the sake of getting paid, only for this person to tell the story of pain. 

It’s a hit and run theory, a submission of a killer instinct sycophantic nonsense, that looks in the eye of people every day. 

Poor suffer from the dirt written on there soul, while the other’s glorified the abuse of a generation who future is at the foot of the law all the time. 

Nothing is simple” a purpose of dignity is a function that needs a systematic review, based on elements that configure’s on who care’s and who don’t. 

Darkness is a call that states the end is near, the light is a path that needs its forgiveness, to those who continue to suffer from entertainment, as this is a result of dialect language of abuse.

Steven Bartlett and the Debate on Harmful Health Information

Steven Bartlett, the charismatic entrepreneur and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, has become a household name for his candid conversations with influential figures. However, recent criticism surrounding the dissemination of potentially harmful health advice on his platform has sparked a heated debate about the responsibilities of public figures in shaping public health narratives.

The Rise of Bartlett’s Influence

Bartlett, at just 31, is a self-made success story. His podcast garners millions of listeners, featuring guests from business, entertainment, and wellness industries. Bartlett’s relatability and probing questions have cemented his position as a trusted voice among younger audiences seeking self-improvement and inspiration.

However, with great influence comes great responsibility. Critics argue that Bartlett’s lack of vetting for health-related advice shared on his platform poses risks to public health, particularly when pseudoscience or unverified claims are involved.

The Controversy

One of the key incidents fueling the criticism was an episode featuring a guest who promoted unproven dietary methods and supplements, claiming they could cure chronic illnesses. Health professionals quickly pointed out the lack of scientific backing for these claims, warning that they could mislead listeners into adopting harmful practices or avoiding necessary medical treatments.

Bartlett himself has faced backlash for endorsing certain extreme fasting regimens and supplements on his social media channels without sufficient context or disclaimers. While these practices may work for some individuals, they can be dangerous for others, particularly those with underlying health conditions.

The Responsibility of Public Figures

Bartlett’s defenders argue that he provides a platform for diverse perspectives and does not necessarily endorse all views shared by his guests. However, critics maintain that figures with such a significant platform have a duty to ensure the accuracy of the information they amplify.

Dr. Sarah Jones, a public health expert, stated:

“Steven Bartlett’s audience trusts him implicitly. When harmful health advice is shared without context or fact-checking, it can lead to real-world consequences. Influencers must prioritize accuracy over sensationalism.”

The Impact on Public Health

Misinformation, particularly about health, has tangible consequences. The rise of social media has led to the proliferation of unverified health advice, often drowning out credible sources. For individuals seeking quick fixes or alternative treatments, such information can be particularly appealing—and dangerous.

Bartlett’s case highlights the broader challenge of balancing free speech and the ethical responsibility of influencers in the health and wellness space.

Bartlett’s Response

In response to the criticism, Bartlett addressed the issue in a recent podcast episode, emphasizing that he encourages listeners to consult professionals before making health decisions. He also hinted at implementing more robust fact-checking processes for future episodes.

While this is a step in the right direction, it remains to be seen whether Bartlett will consistently uphold these standards or if similar controversies will arise in the future.

Conclusion

Steven Bartlett’s journey from entrepreneur to influential podcaster is remarkable, but his controversies around harmful health information underscore the need for accountability. As public figures wield increasing power over public opinion, particularly in health-related matters, the stakes are higher than ever.

By fostering greater transparency and prioritizing evidence-based content, Bartlett has an opportunity to not only maintain his audience’s trust but also contribute positively to public health discourse. The question is: will he rise to the challenge.

Man Convicted of Raping and Killing NHS Worker in Southall Park

Mohamed Iidow, 35, has been convicted of the rape and manslaughter of Natalie Shotter, a 37-year-old NHS worker and mother of three, after a disturbing attack in Southall Park, West London. The incident occurred in July 2021, when Iidow preyed on Ms. Shotter, who was unconscious on a park bench following a night out with friends. She tragically died from a heart attack caused by the repeated assaults.

CCTV footage showed Iidow circling the park before approaching the unconscious Ms. Shotter, and DNA evidence linked him to the crime. After the attack, he returned home, stopping to buy cat food and mouthwash, displaying no apparent remorse. He initially claimed the sexual activity was consensual, but forensic evidence and CCTV disproved his defense.

Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, who led the investigation, described the case as deeply shocking and praised Ms. Shotter’s family for their resilience during the trial. Natalie’s mother, Dr. Cas Shotter Weetman, called her daughter a “beautiful soul” who had dedicated her life to helping others through her NHS work and charity involvement.

1. Victim: Natalie Shotter, a 37-year-old NHS worker and mother of three, was found dead on a bench in Southall Park, West London, on July 16, 2021. She had been socializing with friends earlier in the evening. 

2. Crime: Mohamed Iidow, 35, raped Ms. Shotter multiple times while she was unconscious on the bench. The assaults caused a fatal heart attack. 

3. Evidence:

CCTV footage showed Iidow circling the park before attacking the victim.

DNA evidence linked him to the crime. 

Iidow claimed the sexual activity was consensual, but CCTV and forensic evidence disproved this. 

4. Iidow’s Behavior: After the attack, Iidow calmly left the scene, purchased cat food and mouthwash, and returned home, showing no apparent remorse. 

5. Conviction: Iidow was found guilty of manslaughter and rape following a detailed investigation involving expert testimony to link the rape to the victim’s death. 

6. Previous Conviction: Iidow had a prior conviction for grooming young people online, which was not disclosed during the trial. 

7. Impact: Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley called the case “disturbing and shocking,” commending Ms. Shotter’s family for their courage. Ms. Shotter’s mother described her as a dedicated NHS worker and a loving mother who had “so much more to give. 

8. Sentencing: Iidow is scheduled to be sentenced on December 13, 2024, and is expected to receive a lengthy prison term. 

The tragic case of Natalie Shotter’s rape and manslaughter highlights the disturbing vulnerability of women in public spaces. Mohamed Iidow’s predatory behavior, culminating in the brutal attack on Ms. Shotter, reflects a shocking violation of trust and safety. His claim that the act was consensual was disproven by CCTV and forensic evidence, reinforcing the importance of thorough investigations in such serious crimes. As Iidow faces sentencing, this case serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by individuals in public settings and the need for stronger protections. The strength of Natalie’s family throughout this ordeal has been commendable, and her tragic loss underscores the ongoing need for societal vigilance against violence.

The First Bionic Eye to Restore Vision: A Revolutionary Leap in Medicine

In a groundbreaking medical advancement, scientists have developed the world’s first bionic eye capable of restoring vision to individuals who have been blind for years. This innovation, poised to transform the lives of millions, represents a significant leap in the intersection of biotechnology, neuroscience, and medicine.

What is a Bionic Eye

A bionic eye, or a retinal prosthesis, is a sophisticated device designed to restore vision by mimicking the functions of a healthy eye. Unlike traditional prosthetics that replace lost organs or limbs, the bionic eye bridges damaged or non-functional pathways to directly stimulate the brain’s visual cortex, enabling patients to perceive images once again.

The latest bionic eye builds upon years of research, offering not just light perception but the ability to recognize shapes and, in some cases, even facial features.

How It Works

The revolutionary device combines cutting-edge technologies such as microelectronics, artificial intelligence, and bioengineering:

1. Micro-Implant Technology: A tiny microchip, surgically implanted in the retina or brain, acts as the core processor.

2. External Camera Glasses: Patients wear glasses equipped with a camera that captures visual data.

3. Signal Processing Unit: The camera converts visual data into electrical signals, which the implant then interprets to stimulate the brain.

4. Neural Stimulation: By bypassing damaged parts of the eye or optic nerve, the bionic eye directly communicates with the brain’s visual cortex.

Clinical Trials and Success Stories

Early trials have demonstrated remarkable success. In one notable case, a patient who had been blind for over a decade regained the ability to perceive light, shapes, and movement. A team led by researchers at Monash University in Australia made headlines with their “Gennaris Bionic Vision System,” which uses a brain implant rather than a retinal one, expanding its application to those with optic nerve damage.

Potential Impact

Globally, over 40 million people suffer from blindness, with a significant portion due to untreatable retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa or age-related macular degeneration. The bionic eye offers hope to these individuals, allowing them to regain independence and significantly improving their quality of life.

Beyond its direct applications, this technology also opens doors for advances in other neuroprosthetic devices. The ability to stimulate the brain with precision could lead to breakthroughs in treating conditions like paralysis, epilepsy, and even neurodegenerative diseases.

Challenges Ahead

While promising, the bionic eye is not without challenges.

Cost: Initial prototypes and surgeries are prohibitively expensive.

Ethical Concerns: Questions around accessibility, long-term safety, and the potential enhancement of human capabilities remain.

Technical Barriers: Current models provide only limited resolution, akin to seeing through a frosted window. Further research is needed to achieve full restoration of vision.

The Future of Bionic Vision

As technology advances, experts predict that bionic eyes will become more refined, accessible, and integrated into medical practices worldwide. Developments such as wireless implants, enhanced resolution, and AI-driven image processing could one day make blindness a treatable condition for nearly all affected individuals.

This first bionic eye marks the beginning of a new era, turning science fiction into reality. As we stand on the brink of a visual revolution, the potential to restore one of humanity’s most treasured senses heralds a brighter future for medical innovation and human resilience.

The Rise of Migrant-Linked Theft in London: Examining the Impact

London, a city celebrated for its diversity and rich cultural heritage, is grappling with an increasing problem—rising incidents of theft, some of which have been linked to migrant groups. This surge is causing concern among residents and authorities alike as it underscores broader challenges related to urban crime and social integration.

The Surge in Theft Across the Capital

Statistics reveal a worrying rise in theft-related crimes across London, particularly in bustling areas such as Oxford Street, Camden Market, and tourist-heavy zones. From pickpocketing on public transport to organized shoplifting, the city is seeing a new wave of criminal activity targeting both locals and visitors.

Authorities have pointed out that a portion of these crimes involves individuals or groups from migrant backgrounds. In some cases, organized networks exploit vulnerabilities within the immigration system, sending individuals to carry out thefts as part of wider criminal enterprises.

The Broader Context

It is essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and balance. While some incidents involve migrants, the majority of migrants in London are law-abiding citizens who contribute positively to the city’s economy and culture. However, sensationalized media coverage risks stigmatizing entire communities, which can fuel xenophobia and social division.

London’s status as an international city means it has always been a melting pot of cultures and opportunities. Unfortunately, this also makes it a prime target for opportunistic crime. Police have identified organized gangs, often originating from Eastern Europe and other regions, who see London as a lucrative market due to its wealth and high footfall.

The Impact on Londoners

For residents and businesses, the rise in theft is both a financial and emotional burden. Shop owners report frequent losses, often amounting to thousands of pounds, while commuters express frustration at feeling unsafe on public transport. The strain on the Metropolitan Police to address these crimes has also grown, prompting calls for additional resources and targeted operations.

Solutions and Moving Forward

To tackle the issue, a multi-pronged approach is needed:

1. Stronger Border Controls: Ensuring that criminal networks cannot exploit the immigration system.

2. Enhanced Policing: Increased police presence in theft hotspots and better use of technology, such as CCTV and facial recognition.

3. Community Integration: Programs to support migrant communities in finding legitimate employment and integrating into society.

4. Legislation Against Organized Crime: Harsher penalties for those involved in orchestrating theft rings.

A Balanced Perspective

It is vital to remember that crime is a complex issue, influenced by socio-economic factors and systemic vulnerabilities. Addressing the rise in theft should not come at the expense of alienating migrant communities who are unfairly associated with the actions of a few.

By fostering a balanced dialogue, London can work towards solutions that protect its residents while upholding its reputation as an inclusive and vibrant city. Only through collaboration between authorities, communities, and policymakers can this issue be effectively addressed.

The New High: Cocaine Made from Bootleg Gasoline in Colombia

Colombia’s cocaine trade, notorious for its global impact, has taken a dangerous new turn. Producers are now utilizing bootleg gasoline to manufacture the drug, introducing heightened risks not only to consumers but also to those involved in its production and distribution. This alarming trend underscores the evolving challenges in combating the narcotics industry and its devastating consequences.

The Role of Gasoline in Cocaine Production

Gasoline has long been a key component in the production of cocaine, used to extract the alkaloids from coca leaves during the initial stages of processing. Traditionally, manufacturers sourced gasoline through legitimate channels or illicitly siphoned from pipelines. However, the rise of bootleg gasoline—often adulterated and sourced through informal markets—has changed the dynamics of production.

Bootleg gasoline in Colombia is typically obtained through illegal refining operations that steal crude oil from pipelines operated by companies like Ecopetrol, the state-run oil giant. These operations produce low-quality, chemically unstable gasoline, which is then sold at a fraction of the legal market price.


Why Turn to Bootleg Gasoline

The shift to bootleg gasoline is largely driven by economics. Colombia’s ongoing conflict with criminal groups and insurgents has disrupted legitimate gasoline supplies in remote coca-growing regions. Rising fuel prices and tighter controls have further incentivized producers to seek cheaper, illicit alternatives. Bootleg gasoline not only cuts costs but is also more readily available in isolated rural areas where coca cultivation thrives.

However, this cost-cutting measure comes at a significant price. Bootleg gasoline is often laced with impurities that can make the resulting cocaine even more toxic.

Health Risks for Users and Producers

Cocaine already poses severe health risks, including addiction, cardiovascular issues, and neurological damage. The introduction of contaminants from bootleg gasoline compounds these dangers. Users may unknowingly consume a product containing hazardous chemicals such as sulfur, heavy metals, and other byproducts of crude oil refining.

The risks extend to the production process as well. Coca farmers and lab workers are often exposed to toxic fumes and residues without proper protective gear, leading to respiratory issues, skin burns, and long-term health complications.

Environmental Fallout

The environmental consequences of this practice are equally alarming. Bootleg gasoline spills and improper disposal of chemical waste devastate Colombia’s delicate ecosystems, particularly in the Amazon and Andean regions. Soil and water contamination threaten biodiversity and the livelihoods of indigenous communities who depend on natural resources.

The Struggle to Combat the Trade

Colombia’s government has been locked in a decades-long battle against the cocaine trade, with mixed results. While authorities have made strides in eradicating coca crops and dismantling trafficking networks, the adaptability of the industry presents an ongoing challenge.

Efforts to curb the bootleg gasoline trade have faced significant hurdles. Criminal groups often control the supply chains, using violence to protect their operations. Corruption among local officials further complicates enforcement.

A Global Problem

Cocaine consumption is not confined to Colombia; it fuels demand across Europe, North America, and beyond. As international markets unknowingly absorb cocaine made with bootleg gasoline, the health and environmental risks ripple outward.

Conclusion

The emergence of bootleg gasoline in cocaine production is a stark reminder of the drug trade’s ingenuity and resilience. Tackling this issue will require a multi-faceted approach, combining law enforcement, economic development, and international cooperation. Unless addressed, this trend threatens to deepen the human and ecological toll of Colombia’s cocaine trade, leaving a trail of destruction that spans continents.
